Subject: sunrpc/cache: remove races with queuing an upcall.
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f9e1aedc6c79f18bb56caa3735b94217c4ec1e0c;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

sunrpc/cache: remove races with queuing an upcall.

We currently queue an upcall after setting CACHE_PENDING,
and dequeue after clearing CACHE_PENDING.
So a request should only be present when CACHE_PENDING is set.

However we don't combine the test and the enqueue/dequeue in
a protected region, so it is possible (if unlikely) for a race
to result in a request being queued without CACHE_PENDING set,
or a request to be absent despite CACHE_PENDING.

So: include a test for CACHE_PENDING inside the regions of
enqueue and dequeue where queue_lock is held, and abort
the operation if the value is not as expected.

Also remove the early 'return' from cache_dequeue() to ensure that it
always removes all entries: As there is no locking between setting
CACHE_PENDING and calling sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall it is not
inconceivable for some other thread to clear CACHE_PENDING and then
someone else to set it and call sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall, both before
the original threads completed the call.

With this, it perfectly safe and correct to:
 - call cache_dequeue() if and only if we have just
   cleared CACHE_PENDING
 - call sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall() (via cache_make_upcall)
   if and only if we have just set CACHE_PENDING.
