Michael Ellerman 38b407be17 powerpc/spufs: Rework fcheck() usage
Currently the spu coredump code triggers an RCU warning:

  =============================
  WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
  5.7.0-rc3-01755-g7cd49f0b7ec7 #1 Not tainted
  -----------------------------
  include/linux/fdtable.h:95 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

  other info that might help us debug this:

  rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
  1 lock held by spu-coredump/1343:
   #0: c0000007fa22f430 (sb_writers#2){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: .do_coredump+0x1010/0x13c8

  stack backtrace:

    interrupt_return+0x14/0x1c0

This comes from fcheck_files() via fcheck().

It's pretty clearly documented that fcheck() must be wrapped with
rcu_read_lock(), adding that fixes the RCU warning.

hch points out that once we've released the RCU read lock the file may
be closed and freed, which would leave us with a pointer to a freed
spu_context.

To avoid that, take a reference to the spu_context while we hold the
RCU read lock, and drop that reference later once we're done with the
context.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
