Subject: [PATCH 3.4 009/176] nfsd: Fix slot wake up race in the nfsv4.1 callback code

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@...marydata.com>

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().
