[PATCH] RPC: killing RPC tasks races fixed

From: Stanislav Kinsbursky <hidden>
Date: 2011-03-17 12:16:57
Also in: linux-nfs, lkml
Subsystem: kernel nfsd, sunrpc, and lockd servers, networking [general], nfs, sunrpc, and lockd clients, the rest · Maintainers: Chuck Lever, Jeff Layton, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Trond Myklebust, Anna Schumaker, Linus Torvalds

task->tk_waitqueue must be checked for NULL before trying to wake up task in
rpc_killall_tasks() because it can be NULL.

Here is an example:

CPU 0               	CPU 1				CPU 2
--------------------	---------------------	--------------------------
nfs4_run_open_task
rpc_run_task
rpc_execute
rpc_set_active
rpc_make_runnable
(waiting)
			rpc_async_schedule
			nfs4_open_prepare
			nfs_wait_on_sequence
						nfs_umount_begin
						rpc_killall_tasks
						rpc_wake_up_task
						rpc_wake_up_queued_task
						spin_lock(tk_waitqueue == NULL)
						BUG()
			rpc_sleep_on
			spin_lock(&q->lock)
			__rpc_sleep_on
			task->tk_waitqueue = q
