  - netfs: Fix race between cache write completion and ALL_QUEUED being set When netfslib is issuing     subrequests, the subrequests start processing immediately and may complete before we reach the end of the     issuing function. At the end of the issuing function we set NETFS_RREQ_ALL_QUEUED to indicate to the     collector that we aren't going to issue any more subreqs and that it can do the final notifications and     cleanup. Now, this isn't a problem if the request is synchronous (NETFS_RREQ_OFFLOAD_COLLECTION is unset)     as the result collection will be done in-thread and we're guaranteed an opportunity to run the collector.
    However, if the request is asynchronous, collection is primarily triggered by the termination of     subrequests queuing it on a workqueue. Now, a race can occur here if the app thread sets ALL_QUEUED after     the last subrequest terminates. This can happen most easily with the copy2cache code (as used by Ceph)     where, in the collection routine of a read request, an asynchronous write request is spawned to copy data     to the cache. Folios are added to the write request as they're unlocked, but there may be a delay before     ALL_QUEUED is set as the write subrequests may complete before we get there. If all the write subreqs have     finished by the ALL_QUEUED point, no further events happen and the collection never happens, leaving the     request hanging. Fix this by queuing the collector after setting ALL_QUEUED. This is a bit heavy-handed     and it may be sufficient to do it only if there are no extant subreqs. Also add a tracepoint to cross-     reference both requests in a copy-to-request operation and add a trace to the netfs_rreq tracepoint to     indicate the setting of ALL_QUEUED. (CVE-2025-38492)
