Subject: [PATCH] dm-io: Fix a race condition in the wake up code for sync_io
There's a race condition between the atomic_dec_and_test(&io->count)
in dec_count() and the waking of the sync_io() thread. If the thread
is spuriously woken immediately after the decrement it may exit,
making the on the stack io struct invalid, yet the dec_count could
still be using it.
There are smaller fixes than the one here (eg, just take the io object
off the stack). But I feel this code could use a clean up.
- simplify dec_count().
- It always calls a callback fn now.
- It always frees the io object back to the pool.
- sync_io()
- Take the io object off the stack and allocate it from the pool the
same as async_io.
- Use a completion object rather than an explicit io_schedule()
loop. The callback triggers the completion.

----------------------------------
We should consider the condition of that if the sync io has been finished before execute "wait_for_completion_io",
the thread will be hang.
so we should add the io->count judgement to consider whether to exeute the function wait_for_completion_io.

Also - there is another race - after atomic_set(&io->wakeup, 1), the
target process may terminate, so wake_up_process(sleeper) operates on
non-existing process. You need to declare a special wait queue or use
wait_on_atomic_t+wake_up_atomic_t (that uses uses pre-initialized hash of
wait queues) to avoid that race.
But as I said - the completion approach is better. It doesn't suffer from
these problems.
