sunrpc: remove xpt_pool
The xpt_pool field is only used for reporting BUGs. And it isn't used correctly. In particular, when it is cleared in svc_xprt_received before XPT_BUSY is cleared, there is no guarantee that either the compiler or the CPU might not re-order to two assignments, just setting xpt_pool to NULL after XPT_BUSY is cleared. If a different cpu were running svc_xprt_enqueue at this moment, it might see XPT_BUSY clear and then xpt_pool non-NULL, and so BUG. This could be fixed by calling smp_mb__before_clear_bit() before the clear_bit. However as xpt_pool isn't really used, it seems safest to simply remove xpt_pool. Another alternate would be to change the clear_bit to clear_bit_unlock, and the test_and_set_bit to test_and_set_bit_lock. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: J.
