Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] fscache: Use wait_on_bit() to wait for the freeing of relinquished volume

From: Hou Tao <houtao1@...wei.com>

The freeing of relinquished volume will wake up the pending volume
acquisition by using wake_up_bit(), however it is mismatched with
wait_var_event() used in fscache_wait_on_volume_collision() and it will
never wake up the waiter in the wait-queue because these two functions
operate on different wait-queues.

According to the implementation in fscache_wait_on_volume_collision(),
if the wake-up of pending acquisition is delayed longer than 20 seconds
(e.g., due to the delay of on-demand fd closing), the first
wait_var_event_timeout() will timeout and the following wait_var_event()
will hang forever as shown below:

 FS-Cache: Potential volume collision new=00000024 old=00000022

  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0

Considering that wake_up_bit() is more selective, so fixing it by using
wait_on_bit() instead of wait_var_event() to wait for the freeing of
relinquished volume. In addition because waitqueue_active() is used in
wake_up_bit() and clear_bit() doesn't imply any memory barrier, so also
adding smp_mb__after_atomic() before wake_up_bit().
