vol: Re-evaluate conditons for cond vars Most users of cond vars follow this general pattern when waiting for a condition: while (!condition) { CV_WAIT(cv, mutex); } But a few places in src/vol do this: if (!condition) { CV_WAIT(cv, mutex); } It is important to always re-check for the relevant condition after waiting for a CV, even if it seems like we only need to wait exactly once, because pthread_cond_wait() is allowed to wake up its caller spuriously even the CV hasn't been signalled. On Solaris, this can actually happen if the calling thread is interrupted by a signal. In VInitPreAttachVolumes() for DAFS, currently this can cause a segfault if CV_WAIT returns while 'vq' is empty. We will try to queue_Remove() the head of the queue itself, resulting in vq.head.next being set to NULL, which will segfault when we try to pull the next item off of the queue. We generally cannot be interrupted by a signal when using opr's softsig, because signals are only delivered to the softsig thread and blocked in all other threads. It is technically possible to trigger this situation on Solaris by sending the (unblockable) SIGCANCEL signal, though this would be very unusual. To make sure issues like this cannot happen and to avoid weird corner cases, adjust all of our CV waiters to wait for a CV using a while() loop or similar pattern. Spurious wakeups may be impossible with LWP, but just try to make all code use a similar structure to be safe. Thanks for mvit...@sinenomine.net for finding and investigating the relevant issue.
