staging: lustre: race condition for check/use cfs_fail_val
There are some race conditions when check/use cfs_fail_val.
For example: when inject failure stub for LFSCK test as following:
764 if (OBD_FAIL_CHECK(OBD_FAIL_LFSCK_DELAY2) &&
765 cfs_fail_val > 0) {
766 struct l_wait_info lwi;
767
768 lwi = LWI_TIMEOUT(cfs_time_seconds(cfs_fail_val),
769 NULL, NULL);
770 l_wait_event(thread->t_ctl_waitq,
771 !thread_is_running(thread),
772 &lwi);
773
774 if (unlikely(!thread_is_running(thread))) {
775 CDEBUG(D_LFSCK, "%s: scan dir exit for engine "
776 "stop, parent "DFID", cookie "LPX64"n",
777 lfsck_lfsck2name(lfsck),
778 PFID(lfsck_dto2fid(dir)),
779 lfsck->li_cookie_dir);
780 RETURN(0);
781 }
782 }
The "cfs_fail_val" may be changed as zero by others after the check
at the line 765 but before using it at the line 768. Then the LFSCK
engine will fall into "wait" until someone run "lfsck_stop".
