4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxxx>
commit a6ab1e8126d205238defbb55d23661a3a5c6a0d8 upstream.
sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall() can detect a race if CACHE_PENDING is no longer
set. In this case it aborts the queuing of the upcall.
However it has already taken a new counted reference on "h" and
doesn't "put" it, even though it frees the data structure holding the reference.
So let's delay the "cache_get" until we know we need it.
Fixes: f9e1aedc6c79 ("sunrpc/cache: remove races with queuing an upcall.")
