Replace the use of llist with list.
llist_for_each_entry_safe can trigger a bug in GCC 4.1, so it's best
to remove it and use a doubly linked list, which is used extensively
in the kernel already.
Specifically this bug can be triggered by hot-unplugging a disk,
either by doing xm block-detach or by save/restore cycle.
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff0
IP: [<ffffffffa0047223>] blkif_free+0x63/0x130 [xen_blkfront]
The crash call trace is:
...
bad_area_nosemaphore+0x13/0x20
do_page_fault+0x25e/0x4b0
page_fault+0x25/0x30
? blkif_free+0x63/0x130 [xen_blkfront]
blkfront_resume+0x46/0xa0 [xen_blkfront]
xenbus_dev_resume+0x6c/0x140
pm_op+0x192/0x1b0
device_resume+0x82/0x1e0
dpm_resume+0xc9/0x1a0
dpm_resume_end+0x15/0x30
do_suspend+0x117/0x1e0
When drilling down to the assembler code, on newer GCC it does
.L29:
cmpq $-16, %r12 #, persistent_gnt check
je .L30 #, out of the loop
.L25:
... code in the loop
testq %r13, %r13 # n
je .L29 #, back to the top of the loop
cmpq $-16, %r12 #, persistent_gnt check
movq 16(%r12), %r13 # <variable>.node.next, n
jne .L25 #, back to the top of the loop
.L30:
While on GCC 4.1, it is:
L78:
... code in the loop
testq %r13, %r13 # n
je .L78 #, back to the top of the loop
movq 16(%rbx), %r13 # <variable>.node.next, n
jmp .L78 #, back to the top of the loop
Which basically means that the exit loop condition instead of
being:
&(pos)->member != NULL;
is:
;
which makes the loop unbound.
Since we always manipulate the list while holding the io_lock, there's
no need for additional locking (llist used previously is safe to use
concurrently without additional locking).
Should be backported to 3.8 stable.
