[ 071/108] SUNRPC: We must not use list_for_each_entry_safe() in rpc_wake_up()

[Greg KH]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 540a0f7584169651f485e8ab67461fcb06934e38 upstream.

The problem is that for the case of priority queues, we
have to assume that __rpc_remove_wait_queue_priority will move new
elements from the tk_wait.links lists into the queue->tasks[] list.
We therefore cannot use list_for_each_entry_safe() on queue->tasks[],
since that will skip these new tasks that __rpc_remove_wait_queue_priority
is adding.

Without this fix, rpc_wake_up and rpc_wake_up_status will both fail
to wake up all functions on priority wait queues, which can result
in some nasty hangs.
