Olga Kornievskaia 48cb99e745 pNFS: fix a missing wake up while waiting on NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN 
[ Upstream commit 5248d8474e ]

It is possible to have a task get stuck on waiting on the
NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN in the following scenario

1. cpu a: waiter test NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN (1) and plh_outstanding (1)
2. cpu b: atomic_dec_and_test() -> clear bit -> wake up
3. cpu c: sets NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN again
4. cpu a: calls wait_on_bit() sleeps forever.

To expand on this we have say 2 outstanding pnfs write IO that get
ESTALE which causes both to call pnfs_destroy_layout() and set the
NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN bit but the 1st one doesn't call the
pnfs_put_layout_hdr() yet (as that would prevent the 2nd ESTALE write
from trying to call pnfs_destroy_layout()). If the 1st ESTALE write
is the one that initially sets the NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN so that new IO
on this file initiates new LAYOUTGET. Another new write would find
NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN set and phl_outstanding>0 (step 1) and would
wait_on_bit(). LAYOUTGET completes doing step 2. Now, the 2nd of
ESTALE writes is calling pnfs_destory_layout() and set the
NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN bit (step 3). Finally, the waiting write wakes up
to check the bit and goes back to sleep.

The problem revolves around the fact that if NFS_LAYOUT_INVALID_STID
was already set, it should not do the work of
pnfs_mark_layout_stateid_invalid(), thus NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN will not
be set more than once for an invalid layout.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
