[ Upstream commit ad25f5cb39872ca14bcbe00816ae65c22fe04b89 ]

There's a locking issue with the per-netns list of calls in rxrpc.  The
pieces of code that add and remove a call from the list use write_lock()
and the calls procfile uses read_lock() to access it.  However, the timer
callback function may trigger a removal by trying to queue a call for
processing and finding that it's already queued - at which point it has a
spare refcount that it has to do something with.  Unfortunately, if it puts
the call and this reduces the refcount to 0, the call will be removed from
the list.  Unfortunately, since the _bh variants of the locking functions
aren't used, this can deadlock.

================================

<title>list: fix a data-race around ep-&gt;rdllist</title>

[ Upstream commit d679ae94fdd5d3ab00c35078f5af5f37e068b03d ]

ep_poll() first calls ep_events_available() with no lock held and checks
if ep-&gt;rdllist is empty by list_empty_careful(), which reads
rdllist-&gt;prev.  Thus all accesses to it need some protection to avoid
store/load-tearing.

Note INIT_LIST_HEAD_RCU() already has the annotation for both prev
and next.

Commit bf3b9f6372c4 ("epoll: Add busy poll support to epoll with socket
fds.") added the first lockless ep_events_available(), and commit
c5a282e9635e ("fs/epoll: reduce the scope of wq lock in epoll_wait()")
made some ep_events_available() calls lockless and added single call under
a lock, finally commit e59d3c64cba6 ("epoll: eliminate unnecessary lock
for zero timeout") made the last ep_events_available() lockless.

[ Upstream commit 0425473037db40d9e322631f2d4dc6ef51f97e88 ]

Introduce list_is_head() in the similar (*) way as it's done for
list_entry_is_head().  Make use of it in the list.h.

*) it's done as inliner and not a macro to be aligned with other
   list_is_*() APIs; while at it, make all three to have the same
   style.

<title>list.h: Update comment to explicitly note circular lists</title>

<content type='text'>
The students in the Operating System Lecture Section at the
American University of Sharjah were confused by the header comment
in include/linux/list.h, which says "Simple doubly linked list
implementation".  This comment means "simple" as in "not complex",
but "simple" is often used in this context to mean "not circular".
This commit therefore avoids this ambiguity by explicitly calling out
"circular".

<title>include/linux/list.h: add a macro to test if entry is pointing to the head</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e130816164e244b692921de49771eeb28205152d</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a macro to test if entry is pointing to the head of the list which is
useful in cases like:

  list_for_each_entry(pos, &amp;head, member) {
    if (cond)
      break;
  }
  if (list_entry_is_head(pos, &amp;head, member))
    return -ERRNO;

that allows to avoid additional variable to be added to track if loop has
not been stopped in the middle.

While here, convert list_for_each_entry*() family of macros to use a new one.

hash_for_each_safe() and hash_for_each_possible_safe()
need to be passed a temp 'struct hlist_node' pointer, but
do not say that in the documentation - they just say
a 'struct'.

Also the documentation for hlist_for_each_entry_safe()
describes @n as "another" hlist_node, but in reality it is
the only one.
