[ Upstream commit1afac08b39] Commit13bac86195("IB/hfi1: Fix abba locking issue with sc_disable()") incorrectly tries to move a list from one list head to another. The result is a kernel crash. The crash is triggered when a link goes down and there are waiters for a send to complete. The following signature is seen: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000030 [...] Call Trace: sc_disable+0x1ba/0x240 [hfi1] pio_freeze+0x3d/0x60 [hfi1] handle_freeze+0x27/0x1b0 [hfi1] process_one_work+0x1b0/0x380 ? process_one_work+0x380/0x380 worker_thread+0x30/0x360 ? process_one_work+0x380/0x380 kthread+0xd7/0x100 ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 The fix is to use the correct call to move the list.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
