From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 3.4.107-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ 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().
