Subject: [PATCH 3/3] sunrpc: split cache_detail queue into request and reader lists
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 07:26:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220-sunrpc-cache-v1-3-47d04014c245@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260220-sunrpc-cache-v1-0-47d04014c245@kernel.org>

Replace the single interleaved queue (which mixed cache_request and
cache_reader entries distinguished by a ->reader flag) with two
dedicated lists: cd->requests for upcall requests and cd->readers
for open file handles.

Readers now track their position via a monotonically increasing
sequence number (next_seqno) rather than by their position in the
shared list. Each cache_request is assigned a seqno when enqueued,
and a new cache_next_request() helper finds the next request at or
after a given seqno.

This eliminates the cache_queue wrapper struct entirely, simplifies
the reader-skipping loops in cache_read/cache_poll/cache_ioctl/
cache_release, and makes the data flow easier to reason about.

Also, remove an obsolete comment. CACHE_UPCALLING hasn't existed
since before the git era started.
