This patch fix a lost wake-up problem caused by the race between mca_cannibalize_lock and bch_cannibalize_unlock. Consider two processes, A and B. Process A is executing mca_cannibalize_lock, while process B takes c->btree_cache_alloc_lock and is executing bch_cannibalize_unlock. The problem happens that after process A executes cmpxchg and will execute prepare_to_wait. In this timeslice process B executes wake_up, but after that process A executes prepare_to_wait and set the state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. Then process A goes to sleep but no one will wake up it. This problem may cause bcache device to dead. Signed-off-by: Guoju Fang <fangguoju@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Coly Li <colyli@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
