Currently, the DRC cache pruner will stop scanning the list when it hits an entry that is RC_INPROG. It's possible however for a call to take a *very* long time. In that case, we don't want it to block other entries from being pruned if they are expired or we need to trim the cache to get back under the limit. Fix the DRC cache pruner to just ignore RC_INPROG entries. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: J.
