Subject: [46/90] svcrpc: avoid memory-corruption on pool shutdown

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@...hat.com>

commit b4f36f88b3ee7cf26bf0be84e6c7fc15f84dcb71 upstream.

Socket callbacks use svc_xprt_enqueue() to add an xprt to a
pool->sp_sockets list.  In normal operation a server thread will later
come along and take the xprt off that list.  On shutdown, after all the
threads have exited, we instead manually walk the sv_tempsocks and
sv_permsocks lists to find all the xprt's and delete them.

So the sp_sockets lists don't really matter any more.  As a result,
we've mostly just ignored them and hoped they would go away.

Which has gotten us into trouble; witness for example ebc63e531cc6
"svcrpc: fix list-corrupting race on nfsd shutdown", the result of Ben
Greear noticing that a still-running svc_xprt_enqueue() could re-add an
xprt to an sp_sockets list just before it was deleted.  The fix was to
remove it from the list at the end of svc_delete_xprt().  But that only
made corruption less likely--I can see nothing that prevents a
svc_xprt_enqueue() from adding another xprt to the list at the same
moment that we're removing this xprt from the list.  In fact, despite
the earlier xpo_detach(), I don't even see what guarantees that
svc_xprt_enqueue() couldn't still be running on this xprt.

So, instead, note that svc_xprt_enqueue() essentially does:
	lock sp_lock
		if XPT_BUSY unset
			add to sp_sockets
	unlock sp_lock

So, if we do:

	set XPT_BUSY on every xprt.
	Empty every sp_sockets list, under the sp_socks locks.

Then we're left knowing that the sp_sockets lists are all empty and will
stay that way, since any svc_xprt_enqueue() will check XPT_BUSY under
the sp_lock and see it set.

And *then* we can continue deleting the xprt's.

(Thanks to Jeff Layton for being correctly suspicious of this code....)
