[PATCH] SUNRPC: Fix potential deadlock in RPC code
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In rpc_wake_up() and rpc_wake_up_status(), it is possible for the call to
__rpc_wake_up_task() to fail if another thread happens to be calling
rpc_wake_up_task() on the same rpc_task.

Problem noticed by Bruno Faccini.
