3.16.7-ckt8 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Moshe Lazer <moshel@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 0fb8bcf022f19a375d7c4bd79ac513da8ae6d78b upstream. The deadlock occurs in __uverbs_modify_qp: we take a lock (idr_read_qp) and in case of failure in ib_resolve_eth_l2_attrs we don't release it (put_qp_read). Fix that.
