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.
