[dm-devel] [PATCH v2 04/11] multipathd: reset __delayed_reconfig from ev_add_map()

[mwilck@suse.com]

From: Martin Wilck <mwilck@suse.com>

With the previous patch, one race condition between child() and
the uevent handler (ev_add_map()) remains: 1. child() sets
__delayed_reconfig, 2. ev_add_map() calls schedule_reconfigure() and
thus DAEMON_CONFIGURE, 3. child() sets DAEMON_IDLE. This would cause
the pending reconfigure request to be missed.

To fix this, reset __delayed_reconfig immediately from ev_add_map()
(and likewise, missing_uev_wait_tick()). This way the wait loop in
child() terminates on the reconfigure_pending condition.

Also, these schedule_reconfigure() callers don't really request a
reconfigure() call; they just unblock processing previously requested
reconfigure() calls. Add a new helper, unblock_reconfigure(), that
does just that.
