ceph: fix iterate_caps removal race
We need to be able to iterate over all caps on a session with a possibly slow callback on each cap. To allow this, we used to prevent cap reordering while we were iterating. However, we were not safe from races with removal: removing the 'next' cap would make the next pointer from list_for_each_entry_safe be invalid, and cause a lock up or similar badness. Instead, we keep an iterator pointer in the session pointing to the current cap. As before, we avoid reordering. For removal, if the cap isn't the current cap we are iterating over, we are fine. If it is, we clear cap->ci (to mark the cap as pending removal) but leave it in the session list. In iterate_caps, we can safely finish removal and get the next cap pointer. While we're at it, clean up put_cap to not take a cap reservation context, as it was never used. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>
