Subject: [PATCH v2] rcu: Fix missed wakeup of exp_wq waiters

For the tasks waiting in exp_wq inside exp_funnel_lock(),
there is a chance that they might be indefinitely blocked
in below scenario:

1. There is a task waiting on exp sequence 0b'100' inside
   exp_funnel_lock(). This task blocks at wq index 1.

   synchronize_rcu_expedited()
     s = 0b'100'
     exp_funnel_lock()
       wait_event(rnp->exp_wq[rcu_seq_ctr(s) & 0x3]

2. The expedited grace period (which above task blocks for)
   completes and task (task1) holding exp_mutex queues
   worker and schedules out.

   synchronize_rcu_expedited()
     s = 0b'100'
     queue_work(rcu_gp_wq, &rew.rew_work)
       wake_up_worker()
         schedule()

3. kworker A picks up the queued work and completes the exp gp
   sequence and then blocks on exp_wake_mutex, which is held
   by another kworker, which is doing wakeups for expedited_sequence
   0.

   rcu_exp_wait_wake()
     rcu_exp_wait_wake()
       rcu_exp_gp_seq_end(rsp) // rsp->expedited_sequence is incremented
                               // to 0b'100'
       mutex_lock(&rcu_state.exp_wake_mutex)

4. task1 does not enter wait queue, as sync_exp_work_done() returns true,
   and releases exp_mutex.

   wait_event(rnp->exp_wq[rcu_seq_ctr(s) & 0x3],
     sync_exp_work_done(rsp, s));
   mutex_unlock(&rsp->exp_mutex);

5. Next exp GP completes, and sequence number is incremented:

   rcu_exp_wait_wake()
     rcu_exp_wait_wake()
       rcu_exp_gp_seq_end(rsp) // rsp->expedited_sequence = 0b'200'

6. kworker A acquires exp_wake_mutex. As it uses current
   expedited_sequence, it wakes up workers from wrong wait queue
   index - it should have worken wait queue corresponding to
   0b'100' sequence, but wakes up the ones for 0b'200' sequence.
   This results in task at step 1 indefinitely blocked.

   rcu_exp_wait_wake()
     wake_up_all(&rnp->exp_wq[rcu_seq_ctr(rsp->expedited_sequence) & 0x3]);

This issue manifested as DPM device timeout during suspend, as scsi
device was stuck in _synchronize_rcu_expedited().

schedule()
synchronize_rcu_expedited()
synchronize_rcu()
scsi_device_quiesce()
scsi_bus_suspend()
dpm_run_callback()
__device_suspend()

Fix this by using the correct exp sequence number, the one which
owner of the exp_mutex initiated and passed to kworker,
to index the wait queue, inside rcu_exp_wait_wake().
