| H A D | cache.c | diff f9e1aedc6c79f18bb56caa3735b94217c4ec1e0c Thu Jun 13 04:53:42 CEST 2013 NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> 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.
