4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Martin Brandenburg <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit a0ec1ded22e6a6bc41981fae22406835b006a66e upstream.
In orangefs_devreq_read, there is a loop which picks an op off the list
of pending ops. If the loop fails to find an op, there is nothing to
read, and it returns EAGAIN. If the op has been given up on, the loop
is restarted via a goto. The bug is that the variable which the found
op is written to is not reinitialized, so if there are no more eligible
ops on the list, the code runs again on the already handled op.
This is triggered by interrupting a process while the op is being copied
to the client-core. It's a fairly small window, but it's there.
