[ Upstream commit 936750fdba4c45e13bbd17f261bb140dd55f5e93 ]
The race window between __scan_channels() and deliver_response() causes
the parameters of some channels to be set to 0.
1.[CPUA] __scan_channels() issues an IPMI request and waits with
wait_event() until all channels have been scanned.
wait_event() internally calls might_sleep(), which might
yield the CPU. (Moreover, an interrupt can preempt
wait_event() and force the task to yield the CPU.)
2.[CPUB] deliver_response() is invoked when the CPU receives the
IPMI response. After processing a IPMI response,
deliver_response() directly assigns intf->wchannels to
intf->channel_list and sets intf->channels_ready to true.
However, not all channels are actually ready for use.
3.[CPUA] Since intf->channels_ready is already true, wait_event()
never enters __wait_event(). __scan_channels() immediately
clears intf->null_user_handler and exits.
4.[CPUB] Once intf->null_user_handler is set to NULL, deliver_response()
ignores further IPMI responses, leaving the remaining
channels zero-initialized and unusable.

------------------------------- -----------------------------
Fix the race between __scan_channels() and deliver_response() by
deferring both the assignment intf->channel_list = intf->wchannels
and the flag intf->channels_ready = true until all channels have
been successfully scanned or until the IPMI request has failed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
