[PATCH 5/5] cachefiles: Fix race between read_waiter and read_copier involving op->to_do

[David Howells]

From: Lei Xue <carmark.dlut@xxxxxxxxx>

There is a potential race in fscache operation enqueuing for reading and
copying multiple pages from cachefiles to netfs.  The problem can be seen
easily on a heavy loaded system (for example many processes reading files
continually on an NFS share covered by fscache triggered this problem within
a few minutes).

The race is due to cachefiles_read_waiter() adding the op to the monitor
to_do list and then then drop the object->work_lock spinlock before
completing fscache_enqueue_operation().  Once the lock is dropped,
cachefiles_read_copier() grabs the op, completes processing it, and
makes it through fscache_retrieval_complete() which sets the op->state to
the final state of FSCACHE_OP_ST_COMPLETE(4).  When cachefiles_read_waiter()
finally gets through the remainder of fscache_enqueue_operation()
it sees the invalid state, and hits the ASSERTCMP and the following
oops is seen:
