drbd: narrow rcu_read_lock in drbd_sync_handshake
So far there was the possibility that we called genlmsg_new(GFP_NOIO)/mutex_lock() while holding an rcu_read_lock(). This included cases like: drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock) drbd_asb_recover_1p drbd_khelper drbd_bcast_event genlmsg_new(GFP_NOIO) --> may sleep drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock) drbd_asb_recover_1p drbd_khelper notify_helper genlmsg_new(GFP_NOIO) --> may sleep drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock) drbd_asb_recover_1p drbd_khelper notify_helper mutex_lock --> may sleep While using GFP_ATOMIC whould have been possible in the first two cases, the real fix is to narrow the rcu_read_lock.
