Ilya Dryomov 264c83c2fe libceph: avoid KEEPALIVE_PENDING races in ceph_con_keepalive()
commit 4aac9228d1 upstream.

con_fault() can transition the connection into STANDBY right after
ceph_con_keepalive() clears STANDBY in clear_standby():

    libceph user thread               ceph-msgr worker

ceph_con_keepalive()
  mutex_lock(&con->mutex)
  clear_standby(con)
  mutex_unlock(&con->mutex)
                                mutex_lock(&con->mutex)
                                con_fault()
                                  ...
                                  if KEEPALIVE_PENDING isn't set
                                    set state to STANDBY
                                  ...
                                mutex_unlock(&con->mutex)
  set KEEPALIVE_PENDING
  set WRITE_PENDING

This triggers warnings in clear_standby() when either ceph_con_send()
or ceph_con_keepalive() get to clearing STANDBY next time.

I don't see a reason to condition queue_con() call on the previous
value of KEEPALIVE_PENDING, so move the setting of KEEPALIVE_PENDING
into the critical section -- unlike WRITE_PENDING, KEEPALIVE_PENDING
could have been a non-atomic flag.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
