svcrpc: ensure cache_check caller sees updated entry
Supposes cache_check runs simultaneously with an update on a different CPU: cache_check task doing update ^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1. test for CACHE_VALID 1'. set entry->data & !CACHE_NEGATIVE 2. use entry->data 2'. set CACHE_VALID If the two memory writes performed in step 1' and 2' appear misordered with respect to the reads in step 1 and 2, then the caller could get stale data at step 2 even though it saw CACHE_VALID set on the cache entry. Add memory barriers to prevent this. Reviewed-by:NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by:
