If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Trond Myklebust commit 1166fde6a923c30f4351515b6a9a1efc513e7d00 upstream. We need to be careful when testing task->tk_waitqueue in rpc_wake_up_task_queue_locked, because it can be changed while we are holding the queue->lock. By adding appropriate memory barriers, we can ensure that it is safe to test task->tk_waitqueue for equality if the RPC_TASK_QUEUED bit is set.
