[ Upstream commit c0955bf957be4bead01fae1d791476260da7325d ]
The function neigh_timer_handler() is a timer handler that runs in an
atomic context. When used by rocker, neigh_timer_handler() calls
"kzalloc(.., GFP_KERNEL)" that may sleep. As a result, the sleep in
atomic context bug will happen. One of the processes is shown below:
ofdpa_fib4_add()
...
neigh_add_timer()
(wait a timer)
neigh_timer_handler()
neigh_release()
neigh_destroy()
rocker_port_neigh_destroy()
rocker_world_port_neigh_destroy()
ofdpa_port_neigh_destroy()
ofdpa_port_ipv4_neigh()
kzalloc(sizeof(.., GFP_KERNEL) //may sleep
This patch changes the gfp_t parameter of kzalloc() from GFP_KERNEL to
GFP_ATOMIC in order to mitigate the bug.
Fixes: 00fc0c51e35b ("rocker: Change world_ops API and implementation to be switchdev independant")
