      SUNRPC: Fix a race to wake a sync task · ed0172af
      Benjamin Coddington authored
      We've observed NFS clients with sync tasks sleeping in __rpc_execute
      waiting on RPC_TASK_QUEUED that have not responded to a wake-up from
      rpc_make_runnable().  I suspect this problem usually goes unnoticed,
      because on a busy client the task will eventually be re-awoken by another
      task completion or xprt event.  However, if the state manager is draining
      the slot table, a sync task missing a wake-up can result in a hung client.
      
      We've been able to prove that the waker in rpc_make_runnable() successfully
      calls wake_up_bit() (ie- there's no race to tk_runstate), but the
      wake_up_bit() call fails to wake the waiter.  I suspect the waker is
      missing the load of the bit's wait_queue_head, so waitqueue_active() is
      false.  There are some very helpful comments about this problem above
      wake_up_bit(), prepare_to_wait(), and waitqueue_active().
      
      Fix this by inserting smp_mb__after_atomic() before the wake_up_bit(),
      which pairs with prepare_to_wait() calling set_current_state().
