9P: Fix race in p9_read_work()
Race scenario between p9_read_work() and p9_poll_mux() Data arrive, Rworksched is set, p9_read_work() is called. thread A thread B p9_read_work() . reads data . checks if new data ready. No. . gets preempted . More data arrive, p9_poll_mux() is called. . . . p9_poll_mux() . . if (!test_and_set_bit(Rworksched, . &m->wsched)) { . schedule_work(&m->rq); . } . . -> does not schedule work because . Rworksched is set . . clear_bit(Rworksched, &m->wsched); return; No work has been scheduled, and yet data are waiting. Currently p9_read_work() checks if there is data to read, and if not, it clears Rworksched. I think it should clear Rworksched first, and then check if there is data to read.
