5e11934d13 NFS: Fix put_nfs_open_context
We need to grab the inode->i_lock atomically with the last reference put in
order to remove the open context that is being freed from the
nfsi->open_files list.

Fix by converting the kref to a standard atomic counter and then using
atomic_dec_and_lock()...

Thanks to Arnd Bergmann for pointing out the problem.

e4eff1a622 SUNRPC: Clean up the sillyrename code
Fix a couple of bugs:
 - Don't rely on the parent dentry still being valid when the call completes.
   Fixes a race with shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree()

 - Don't remove the file if the filehandle has been labelled as stale.

Fix a couple of inefficiencies
 - Remove the global list of sillyrenamed files. Instead we can cache the
   sillyrename information in the dentry->d_fsdata
 - Move common code from unlink_setup/unlink_done into fs/nfs/unlink.c

3ea97309e6 NFS: Remake nfsroot_mount as a permanent part of NFS client
In preparation for supporting NFSv2 and NFSv3 mount option handling in the
kernel NFS client, convert mount_clnt.c to be a permanent part of the NFS
client, instead of built only when CONFIG_ROOT_NFS is enabled.

In addition, we also replace the "struct sockaddr_in *" argument with
something more generic, to help support IPv6 at some later point.

412c77cee6 NFSv4: Defer inode revalidation when setting up a delegation
Currently we force a synchronous call to __nfs_revalidate_inode() in
nfs_inode_set_delegation(). This not only ensures that we cannot call
nfs_inode_set_delegation from an asynchronous context, but it also slows
down any call to open().

89a09141df [PATCH] nfs: fix congestion control
The current NFS client congestion logic is severly broken, it marks the
backing device congested during each nfs_writepages() call but doesn't
mirror this in nfs_writepage() which makes for deadlocks.  Also it
implements its own waitqueue.

Replace this by a more regular congestion implementation that puts a cap on
the number of active writeback pages and uses the bdi congestion waitqueue.

Also always use an interruptible wait since it makes sense to be able to
SIGKILL the process even for mounts without 'intr'.

If invalidate_inode_pages2() fails, then it should in principle just be
because the current process was signalled.  In that case, we just want to

Also add a helper to allow the O_DIRECT code to simply mark the page cache as
invalid once it is finished writing, instead of calling
invalidate_inode_pages2() itself.

24c8dbbb5f NFS: Generalise the nfs_client structure
Generalise the nfs_client structure by:

 (1) Moving nfs_client to a more general place (nfs_fs_sb.h).

 (2) Renaming its maintenance routines to be non-NFS4 specific.

 (3) Move those maintenance routines to a new non-NFS4 specific file (client.c)
     and move the declarations to internal.h.

 (4) Make nfs_find/get_client() take a full sockaddr_in to include the port
     number (will be required for NFS2/3).

 (5) Make nfs_find/get_client() take the NFS protocol version (again will be
     required to differentiate NFS2, 3 & 4 client records).

Also:

 (6) Make nfs_client construction proceed akin to inodes, marking them as under
     construction and providing a function to indicate completion.

 (7) Make nfs_get_client() wait interruptibly if it finds a client that it can
     share, but that client is currently being constructed.

 (8) Make nfs4_create_client() use (6) and (7) instead of locking cl_sem.

7f1cbe51ff [PATCH] headers_check: reduce user-visible noise in <linux/nfs_fs.h>
We don't need any of this crap included from the user-visible part of nfs_fs.h
-- remove it all.

In fact, we probably don't need anything but NFS_SUPER_MAGIC to be defined; is
there any need for anything else?  And magic numbers should probably move to
<linux/magic.h> rather than being strewn across various fs-specific include
files which exist in userspace for solely that purpose.

With this patch, 'make header_check' works again at least on PowerPC.

e9f7bee1df [PATCH] NFS: large non-page-aligned direct I/O clobbers memory
The logic in nfs_direct_read_schedule and nfs_direct_write_schedule can
allow data->npages to be one larger than rpages.  This causes a page
pointer to be written beyond the end of the pagevec in nfs_read_data (or
nfs_write_data).

Fix this by making nfs_(read|write)_alloc() calculate the size of the
pagevec array, and initialise data->npages.

Also get rid of the redundant argument to nfs_commit_alloc().

invalidate its page cache. Fix up update_changeattr() and
nfs_mark_for_revalidate() so that they do so.

4b6f5d20b0 [PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const
This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const.  Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups

The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)

c42de9dd67 NFS: Fix a race in nfs_sync_inode()
Kudos to Neil Brown for spotting the problem:

"in nfs_sync_inode, there is effectively the sequence:

   nfs_wait_on_requests
   nfs_flush_inode
   nfs_commit_inode

 This seems a bit racy to me as if the only requests are on the
 ->commit list, and nfs_commit_inode is called separately after
 nfs_wait_on_requests completes, and before nfs_commit_inode start
 (say: by nfs_write_inode) then none of these function will return
 >0, yet there will be some pending request that aren't waited for."

The solution is to search for requests to wait upon, search for dirty
requests, and search for uncommitted requests while holding the
nfsi->req_lock

The patch also cleans up nfs_sync_inode(), getting rid of the redundant
FLUSH_WAIT flag. It turns out that we were always setting it.
