[PATCH 1/2] fs: Fix aio rcu ioctx lookup

[Jan Kara]

From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx>

aio-dio-invalidate-failure GPFs in aio_put_req from io_submit.

lookup_ioctx doesn't implement the rcu lookup pattern properly.  rcu_read_lock
does not prevent refcount going to zero, so we might take a refcount on a zero
count ioctx.

Fix the bug by atomically testing for zero refcount before incrementing.

[JK: Added comment into the code]
