commit5c089fd0c7upstream. If the entry is deleted from the IDR between the call to radix_tree_iter_find() and rcu_dereference_raw(), idr_get_next() will return NULL, which will end the iteration prematurely. We should instead continue to the next entry in the IDR. This only happens if the iteration is protected by the RCU lock. Most IDR users use a spinlock or semaphore to exclude simultaneous modifications. It was noticed once the PID allocator was converted to use the IDR, as it uses the RCU lock, but there may be other users elsewhere in the kernel. We can't use the normal pattern of calling radix_tree_deref_retry() (which catches both a retry entry in a leaf node and a node entry in the root) as the IDR supports storing entries which are unaligned, which will trigger an infinite loop if they are encountered. Instead, we have to explicitly check whether the entry is a retry entry.

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.
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.
