Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH 2/2] cache: Reuse entry in pending list.
Currently, sadump_virt_phys_base() fails to calculate phys_base as
below:
$ /pub/repos/makedumpfile/makedumpfile -f -p -d 31 -x /pub3/vmcores/comparevmcore_data/vmlinux-2.6.18-363.el5 /pub3/vmcores/comparevmcore_data/vmcore-2.6.18-363.el5-sadump /pub3/vmcores/comparevmcore_data/vmcore-pd31
Switched running mode from cyclic to non-cyclic,
because the cyclic mode doesn't support sadump format.

By git bisect, I found this bug is caused by the following commit:
commit 0aff0e5174d0708bf1bfb039ab863e1fea8a1029
Author: Petr Tesarik <ptesarik@suse.cz>

[PATCH] keep dumpfile pages in a cache.
Then, I found this bug happens in the following senario.
If one of the readpage_xxx() methods fails reading 8 pages in a row, 8
entries in pool are fully contained in pending list. Then,
cache_alloc() returns NULL and this continues forever in the
execution. In other words, there's assumption in cache_alloc() that if
pool is fully used, they are fully in used list, not in pending list
at all. However, the buggy path here breaks the assumption. This patch
changes cache_alloc() so that it first tries to reuse enty in pending
list if exists.
In fact, I found this bug in ad-hoc phys_base calculation performed in
sadump_virt_phys_base(). However, I fixed cache side since this bug
can occur in general on every vmcore format. Crash dump can contain
broken data in any part of vmcore and so requested physical address to
read can be broken likewise.
