    libceph: add lingering request reference when registered · 96e4dac6
    Alex Elder authored
    When an osd request is set to linger, the osd client holds onto the
    request so it can be re-submitted following certain osd map changes.
    The osd client holds a reference to the request until it is
    unregistered.  This is used by rbd for watch requests.
    
    Currently, the reference is taken when the request is marked with
    the linger flag.  This means that if an error occurs after that
    time but before the the request completes successfully, that
    reference is leaked.
    
    There's really no reason to take the reference until the request is
    registered in the the osd client's list of lingering requests, and
    that only happens when the lingering (watch) request completes
    successfully.
    
    So take that reference only when it gets registered following
    succesful completion, and drop it (as before) when the request
    gets unregistered.  This avoids the reference problem on error
    in rbd.
    
    Rearrange ceph_osdc_unregister_linger_request() to avoid using
    the request pointer after it may have been freed.
    
    And hold an extra reference in kick_requests() while handling
    a linger request that has not yet been registered, to ensure
    it doesn't go away.
    
    This resolves:
