#1352062 — [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 078/273] drivers/hwspinlock: fix race between radix tree insertion and lookup

4.2.8-ckt5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com>

commit c6400ba7e13a41539342f1b6e1f9e78419cb0148 upstream.

of_hwspin_lock_get_id() is protected by the RCU lock, which means that
insertions can occur simultaneously with the lookup.  If the radix tree
transitions from a height of 0, we can see a slot with the indirect_ptr
bit set, which will cause us to at least read random memory, and could
cause other havoc.

Fix this by using the newly introduced radix_tree_iter_retry().
