Thomas Gleixner 8addebc14a scsi: bnx2fc: Plug CPU hotplug race
bnx2fc_process_new_cqes() has protection against CPU hotplug, which relies
on the per cpu thread pointer. This protection is racy because it happens
only partially with the per cpu fp_work_lock held.

If the CPU is unplugged after the lock is dropped, the wakeup code can
dereference a NULL pointer or access freed and potentially reused memory.

Restructure the code so the thread check and wakeup happens with the
fp_work_lock held.

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.
