Linux kernel source tree

Due to the code that queues a subreq on the active subrequest list getting
moved to netfs_issue_read(), the NETFS_RREQ_ALL_QUEUED flag may now get set
before the list-add actually happens. This is not a problem if the
collection worker happens after the list-add, but it's a race - and, for
9P, where the read from the server is synchronous and done in the
submitting thread, this is a lot more likely.
The result is that, if the timing is wrong, a ref gets leaked because the
collector thinks that all the subreqs have completed (because it can't see
the last one yet) and clears NETFS_RREQ_IN_PROGRESS - at which point, the
collection worker no longer goes into the collector.
This can be provoked with AFS by injecting an msleep() right before the
final subreq is queued.
Fix this by splitting the queuing part out of netfs_issue_read() into a new
function, netfs_queue_read(), and calling it separately. The setting of
NETFS_RREQ_ALL_QUEUED is then done by netfs_queue_read() whilst it is
holding the spinlock (that's probably unnecessary, but shouldn't hurt).
It might be better to set a flag on the final subreq, but this could be a
problem if an error occurs and we can't queue it.

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.
