[PATCH 4.14 032/124] fuse: fix blocked_waitq wakeup

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Nov 19 2018 - 11:50:18 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 908a572b80f6e9577b45e81b3dfe2e22111286b8 upstream.

Using waitqueue_active() is racy. Make sure we issue a wake_up()
unconditionally after storing into fc->blocked. After that it's okay to
optimize with waitqueue_active() since the first wake up provides the
necessary barrier for all waiters, not the just the woken one.
