Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 47/95] fuse: fix possibly missed wake-up after abort

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 2d84a2d19b6150c6dbac1e6ebad9c82e4c123772 ]

In current fuse_drop_waiting() implementation it's possible that
fuse_wait_aborted() will not be woken up in the unlikely case that
fuse_abort_conn() + fuse_wait_aborted() runs in between checking
fc->connected and calling atomic_dec(&fc->num_waiting).

Do the atomic_dec_and_test() unconditionally, which also provides the
necessary barrier against reordering with the fc->connected check.

The explicit smp_mb() in fuse_wait_aborted() is not actually needed, since
the spin_unlock() in fuse_abort_conn() provides the necessary RELEASE
barrier after resetting fc->connected.  However, this is not a performance
sensitive path, and adding the explicit barrier makes it easier to
document.
