[PATCH v4] Drivers: hv: vmbus: fix the race when querying & updating the percpu list

[Dexuan Cui]

There is a rare race when we remove an entry from the global list
hv_context.percpu_list[cpu] in hv_process_channel_removal() ->
percpu_channel_deq() -> list_del(): at this time, if vmbus_on_event() ->
process_chn_event() -> pcpu_relid2channel() is trying to query the list,
we can get the kernel fault.

Similarly, we also have the issue in the code path: vmbus_process_offer() ->
percpu_channel_enq().

We can resolve the issue by disabling the tasklet when updating the list.

The patch also moves vmbus_release_relid() to a later place where
the channel has been removed from the per-cpu and the global lists.

v2: added tasklet_schedule() after tasklet_enable(). Thanks, Vitaly!

v3: I shouldn't have moved percpu_channel_deq()
from  hv_process_channel_removal() to vmbus_close_internal(): the
channel couldn't be removed from the per-cpu list, if the channel state
was not CHANNEL_OPENED_STATE. v3 fixed this.
v3 also added 2 wrapper functions for the disable/enable stuff.
v3 also moved vmbus_release_relid() to a later safe place.

v4: fixed a copy-and-paste bug in vmbus_process_offer():
"hv_event_tasklet_disable(channel) and hv_event_tasklet_enable(channel)"
are buggy: the 'channel' parameter should be 'newchannel'.
Thanks Vitaly for this!
