  - ceph: fix hanging __ceph_get_caps() with stale mds_wanted A reader can hang forever in __ceph_get_caps()
    when the client no longer holds `FILE_RD`, but local cap state still says that the capability is already
    wanted (via `mds_wanted`). One way to trigger this is through MDS cap revocation. If another client
    performs a conflicting operation, the MDS can revoke `FILE_RD` from the reader; the next read then has to
    reacquire `FILE_RD`. If the cap update that should request `FILE_RD` never reaches the MDS after
    `cap->mds_wanted` was raised, the reader is left holding only non-file caps while local `mds_wanted` still
    includes the file read caps. In that state, try_get_cap_refs() sees `need <= mds_wanted` and returns 0, so
    __ceph_get_caps() just waits on `i_cap_wq`. If the cap update that was supposed to request `FILE_RD never
    reaches the MDS after `cap->mds_wanted was` raised, no further request is sent and the waiter can sleep
    indefinitely until unrelated cap traffic happens to wake it up. The ordering issue is that
    `cap->mds_wanted` is updated in __prep_cap() before the `CEPH_MSG_CLIENT_CAPS message` is actually queued
    for send. That makes one field serve two different meanings at once: what this client wants, and what the
    client believes the MDS already knows it wants. A proper fix would be to split those states and track
    whether a cap update is actually in flight or has been observed by the MDS. However, simply moving the
    `cap->mds_wanted assignment` later would not be sufficient: queueing the message in the messenger does not
    guarantee that the MDS processed that specific wanted set, and reconnect or message loss can still
    invalidate that assumption. Fixing that properly would require a larger rework of the cap state machine.
    To allow simpler backports to stable kernels, this patch implements a simpler workaround: - stop waiting
    forever in __ceph_get_caps(); after a bounded wait, fall back to the renew path - make ceph_renew_caps()
    issue a synchronous `OPEN` request whenever the inode still does not actually hold the wanted caps,
    instead of only calling ceph_check_caps() The extra issued-vs-wanted check in ceph_renew_caps() is
    necessary because the previous test only checked whether the inode still had any real caps at all. That is
    not enough after revocation: the client can still hold something like `pLs` and yet be missing `FILE_RD`
    completely. In that case, falling back to ceph_check_caps() is not sufficient, because it still trusts
    `cap->mds_wanted` and may resend nothing. By requiring `(issued & wanted) == wanted` before taking the
    asynchronous path, the code only uses ceph_check_caps() when the `wanted caps` are already actually
    issued. Otherwise, it sends the synchronous `OPEN` renew. This preserves the existing asynchronous fast
    path when the wanted caps are already issued, avoids changing cap-state semantics, and fixes the hang by
    guaranteeing that a stalled waiter eventually retries through a path that does not rely on the stale
    `mds_wanted` state. [ idryomov: move CEPH_GET_CAPS_WAIT_TIMEOUT from libceph.h to mds_client.h, formatting
