Steve Wise 105470069d RDMA/uverbs: Atomically flush and mark closed the comp event queue
commit 67e3816842 upstream.

Currently a uverbs completion event queue is flushed of events in
ib_uverbs_comp_event_close() with the queue spinlock held and then
released.  Yet setting ev_queue->is_closed is not set until later in
uverbs_hot_unplug_completion_event_file().

In between the time ib_uverbs_comp_event_close() releases the lock and
uverbs_hot_unplug_completion_event_file() acquires the lock, a completion
event can arrive and be inserted into the event queue by
ib_uverbs_comp_handler().

This can cause a "double add" list_add warning or crash depending on the
kernel configuration, or a memory leak because the event is never dequeued
since the queue is already closed down.

So add setting ev_queue->is_closed = 1 to ib_uverbs_comp_event_close().

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
