team: avoid possible underflow of count_pending value for notify_peer…
…s and mcast_rejoin This patch is fixing a race condition that may cause setting count_pending to -1, which results in unwanted big bulk of arp messages (in case of "notify peers"). Consider following scenario: count_pending == 2 CPU0 CPU1 team_notify_peers_work atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to 1) schedule_delayed_work team_notify_peers atomic_add (adding 1 to count_pending) team_notify_peers_work atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to 1) schedule_delayed_work team_notify_peers_work atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to 0) schedule_delayed_work team_notify_peers_work atomic_dec_and_test (dec count_pending to -1) Fix this race by using atomic_dec_if_positive - that will prevent count_pending running under 0.
