CacheFiles: Fix incorrect test for in-memory object collision
When CacheFiles cache objects are in use, they have in-memory representations, as defined by the cachefiles_object struct. These are kept in a tree rooted in the cache and indexed by dentry pointer (since there's a unique mapping between object index key and dentry). Collisions can occur between a representation already in the tree and a new representation being set up because it takes time to dispose of an old representation - particularly if it must be unlinked or renamed. When such a collision occurs, cachefiles_mark_object_active() is meant to check to see if the old, already-present representation is in the process of being discarded (ie. FSCACHE_OBJECT_IS_LIVE is not set on it) - and, if so, wait for the representation to be removed (ie. CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE is then cleared). However, the test for whether the old representation is still live is checking the new object - which always will be live at this point. This leads to an oops looking like: CacheFiles: Error: Unexpected object collision object: OBJ1b354 objstate=LOOK_UP_OBJECT fl=8 wbusy=2 ev=0[0] ops=0 inp=0 exc=0 parent=ffff88053f5417c0 cookie=ffff880538f202a0 [pr=ffff8805381b7160 nd=ffff880509c6eb78 fl=27] key=[8] '2490000000000000' xobject: OBJ1a600 xobjstate=DROP_OBJECT fl=70 wbusy=2 ev=0[0] xops=0 inp=0 exc=0 xparent=ffff88053f5417c0 xcookie=ffff88050f4cbf70 [pr=ffff8805381b7160 nd= (null) fl=12] ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/cachefiles/namei.c:200! ...
