Lei Xue 1774777377 cachefiles: Fix race between read_waiter and read_copier involving op->to_do
[ Upstream commit 7bb0c5338436dae953622470d52689265867f032 ]

There is a potential race in fscache operation enqueuing for reading and
copying multiple pages from cachefiles to netfs.  The problem can be seen
easily on a heavy loaded system (for example many processes reading files
continually on an NFS share covered by fscache triggered this problem within
a few minutes).

The race is due to cachefiles_read_waiter() adding the op to the monitor
to_do list and then then drop the object->work_lock spinlock before
completing fscache_enqueue_operation().  Once the lock is dropped,
cachefiles_read_copier() grabs the op, completes processing it, and
makes it through fscache_retrieval_complete() which sets the op->state to
the final state of FSCACHE_OP_ST_COMPLETE(4).  When cachefiles_read_waiter()
finally gets through the remainder of fscache_enqueue_operation()
it sees the invalid state, and hits the ASSERTCMP and the following
oops is seen:

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
