Daniel Jurgens c66f67414c IB/core: Don't register each MAD agent for LSM notifier
When creating many MAD agents in a short period of time, receive packet
processing can be delayed long enough to cause timeouts while new agents
are being added to the atomic notifier chain with IRQs disabled.  Notifier
chain registration and unregstration is an O(n) operation. With large
numbers of MAD agents being created and destroyed simultaneously the CPUs
spend too much time with interrupts disabled.

Instead of each MAD agent registering for it's own LSM notification,
maintain a list of agents internally and register once, this registration
already existed for handling the PKeys. This list is write mostly, so a
normal spin lock is used vs a read/write lock. All MAD agents must be
checked, so a single list is used instead of breaking them down per
device.

Notifier calls are done under rcu_read_lock, so there isn't a risk of
similar packet timeouts while checking the MAD agents security settings
when notified.

README

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.
