[PATCH 3.15 104/109] aio: protect reqs_available updates from changes in interrupt handlers

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 263782c1c95bbddbb022dc092fd89a36bb8d5577 upstream.

As of commit f8567a3845ac05bb28f3c1b478ef752762bd39ef it is now possible to
have put_reqs_available() called from irq context.  While put_reqs_available()
is per cpu, it did not protect itself from interrupts on the same CPU.  This
lead to aio_complete() corrupting the available io requests count when run
under a heavy O_DIRECT workloads as reported by Robert Elliott.  Fix this by
disabling irq updates around the per cpu batch updates of reqs_available.

Many thanks to Robert and folks for testing and tracking this down.
