[PATCH 1/1] bcache: use llist_for_each_entry_safe() in __closure_wake_up()

[Coly Li <colyli@suse.de>]

Commit 09b3efec ("bcache: Don't reinvent the wheel but use existing llist
API") replaces the following while loop by llist_for_each_entry(),

-
-	while (reverse) {
-		cl = container_of(reverse, struct closure, list);
-		reverse = llist_next(reverse);
-
+	llist_for_each_entry(cl, reverse, list) {
 		closure_set_waiting(cl, 0);
 		closure_sub(cl, CLOSURE_WAITING + 1);
 	}

This modification introduces a potential race by iterating a corrupted
list. Here is how it happens.

In the above modification, closure_sub() may wake up a process which is
waiting on reverse list. If this process decides to wait again by calling
closure_wait(), its cl->list will be added to another wait list. Then
when llist_for_each_entry() continues to iterate next node, it will travel
on another new wait list which is added in closure_wait(), not the
original reverse list in __closure_wake_up(). It is more probably to
happen on UP machine because the waked up process may preempt the process
which wakes up it.

Use llist_for_each_entry_safe() will fix the issue, the safe version fetch
next node before waking up a process. Then the copy of next node will make
sure list iteration stays on original reverse list.
