sunrpc/cache: remove races with queuing an upcall. We currently queue an upcall after setting CACHE_PENDING, and dequeue after clearing CACHE_PENDING. So a request should only be present when CACHE_PENDING is set. However we don't combine the test and the enqueue/dequeue in a protected region, so it is possible (if unlikely) for a race to result in a request being queued without CACHE_PENDING set, or a request to be absent despite CACHE_PENDING. So: include a test for CACHE_PENDING inside the regions of enqueue and dequeue where queue_lock is held, and abort the operation if the value is not as expected. Also remove the early 'return' from cache_dequeue() to ensure that it always removes all entries: As there is no locking between setting CACHE_PENDING and calling sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall it is not inconceivable for some other thread to clear CACHE_PENDING and then someone else to set it and call sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall, both before the original threads completed the call. With this, it perfectly safe and correct to: - call cache_dequeue() if and only if we have just cleared CACHE_PENDING - call sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall() (via cache_make_upcall) if and only if we have just set CACHE_PENDING.
