Subject: nfsd: Fix slot wake up race in the nfsv4.1 callback code
From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit c6c15e1ed303ffc47e696ea1c9a9df1761c1f603 upstream.
The currect code for nfsd41_cb_get_slot() and nfsd4_cb_done() has no
locking in order to guarantee atomicity, and so allows for races of
the form.
Task 1 Task 2
====== ======
if (test_and_set_bit(0) != 0) {
clear_bit(0)
rpc_wake_up_next(queue)
rpc_sleep_on(queue)
return false;
}
This patch breaks the race condition by adding a retest of the bit
after the call to rpc_sleep_on().
