[PATCH 3.18 024/183] team: avoid possible underflow of count_pending value for notify_peers and mcast_rejoin

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b0d11b42785b70e19bc6a3122eead3f7969a7589 ]

This patch is fixing a race condition that may cause setting
count_pending to -1, which results in unwanted big bulk of arp messages
(in case of "notify peers").

Consider following scenario:

count_pending == 2
   CPU0                                           CPU1
					team_notify_peers_work
					  atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to 1)
					  schedule_delayed_work
 team_notify_peers
   atomic_add (adding 1 to count_pending)
					team_notify_peers_work
					  atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to 1)
					  schedule_delayed_work
					team_notify_peers_work
					  atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to 0)
   schedule_delayed_work
					team_notify_peers_work
					  atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to -1)

Fix this race by using atomic_dec_if_positive - that will prevent
count_pending running under 0.

Fixes: 492b200efdd20b8fcfd  ("team: add support for sending multicast rejoins")
