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'.

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to

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

Generalise the nfs_client structure by:

(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.

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.

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.

Currently NFS O_DIRECT writes use FILE_SYNC so that a COMMIT is not
necessary. This simplifies the internal logic, but this could be a
difficult workload for some servers.
Instead, let's send UNSTABLE writes, and after they all complete, send a
COMMIT for the dirty range. After the COMMIT returns successfully, then do
the wake_up or fire off aio_complete().
Test plan:
Async direct I/O tests against Solaris (or any server that requires
committed unstable writes). Reboot server during test.

Duplicate infrastructure from direct read path that will allow write
path to generate multiple write requests concurrently. This will
enable us to add support for aio in this path.
Temporarily we will lose the ability to do UNSTABLE writes followed by
a COMMIT in the direct write path. However, all applications I am
aware of that use NFS O_DIRECT currently write in relatively small
chunks, so this should not be inconvenient in any way.

This patch inverts the callback hierarchy for NFS write calls.
Instead of having the NFSv2/v3/v4-specific code set up the RPC callback
ops, we allow the original caller to do so. This allows for more
flexibility w.r.t. how to set up and tear down the nfs_write_data
structure while still allowing the NFSv3/v4 code to perform error
handling.
The greater flexibility is needed by the asynchronous O_DIRECT code, which
wants to be able to hold on to the original nfs_write_data structures after
the WRITE RPC call has completed in order to be able to replay them if the
COMMIT call determines that the server has rebooted.
