A potential race between light_event and interface restart
may attach multicast group to an already attached QP.
Scenario:
light_event flow goes through ipoib_mcast_dev_flush function,
if a context switch occurs before calling ipoib_mcast_remove_list,
then we may face a situation where the broadcast of the priv is null
and the corresponding QP is not detached yet.
If an "interface restart" runs during the previous context switch,
the following scenario occurs:
When the device goes up, ipoib_ib_dev_up function will be called,
it will send a new registration request to the broadcast group and then
attach the group to the QP that was not detached before.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
