Subject[PATCH 3.14 29/37] team: avoid race condition in scheduling delayed work
Date
3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Joe Lawrence <Joe.Lawrence@stratus.com>

[ Upstream commit 47549650abd13d873fd2e5fc218db19e21031074 ]

When team_notify_peers and team_mcast_rejoin are called, they both reset
their respective .count_pending atomic variable. Then when the actual
worker function is executed, the variable is atomically decremented.
This pattern introduces a potential race condition where the
.count_pending rolls over and the worker function keeps rescheduling
until .count_pending decrements to zero again:

THREAD 1 THREAD 2

======== ========
team_notify_peers(teamX)
atomic_set count_pending = 1
schedule_delayed_work
team_notify_peers(teamX)
atomic_set count_pending = 1
team_notify_peers_work
atomic_dec_and_test
count_pending = 0
(return)
schedule_delayed_work
team_notify_peers_work
atomic_dec_and_test
count_pending = -1
schedule_delayed_work
(repeat until count_pending = 0)

Instead of assigning a new value to .count_pending, use atomic_add to
tack-on the additional desired worker function invocations.
