c8ab5f2a13 lockd: don't depend on lockd main loop to end grace
End lockd's grace period using schedule_delayed_work() instead of a
check on every pass through the main loop.

After a later patch, we'll depend on lockd to end its grace period even
if it's not currently handling requests; so it shouldn't depend on being
woken up from the main loop to do so.

Also, Nakano Hiroaki (who independently produced a similar patch)
noticed that the current behavior is buggy in the face of jiffies
wraparound:

	"lockd uses time_before() to determine whether the grace period
	has expired. This would seem to be enough to avoid timer
	wrap-around issues, but, unfortunately, that is not the case.
	The time_* family of comparison functions can be safely used to
	compare jiffies relatively close in time, but they stop working
	after approximately LONG_MAX/2 ticks. nfsd can suffer this
	problem because the time_before() comparison in lockd() is not
	performed until the first request comes in, which means that if
	there is no lockd traffic for more than LONG_MAX/2 ticks we are
	screwed.

	"The implication of this is that once time_before() starts
	misbehaving any attempt from a NFS client to execute fcntl()
	will be received with a NLM_LCK_DENIED_GRACE_PERIOD message for
	25 days (assuming HZ=1000). In other words, the 50 seconds grace
	period could turn into a grace period of 50 days or more.

	"Note: This bug was analyzed independently by Oda-san
	<oda@valinux.co.jp> and myself."

8fafa90082 locks: allow lockd to process blocked locks during grace period
The check here is currently harmless but unnecessary, since, as the
comment notes, there aren't any blocked-lock callbacks to process
during the grace period anyway.

And eventually we want to allow multiple grace periods that come and go
for different filesystems over the course of the lifetime of lockd, at
which point this check is just going to get in the way.

54a66e5480 knfsd: allocate readahead cache in individual chunks
I had a report from someone building a large NFS server that they were
unable to start more than 585 nfsd threads. It was reported against an
older kernel using the slab allocator, and I tracked it down to the
large allocation in nfsd_racache_init failing.

It appears that the slub allocator handles large allocations better,
but large contiguous allocations can often be problematic. There
doesn't seem to be any reason that the racache has to be allocated as a
single large chunk. This patch breaks this up so that the racache is
built up from separate allocations.

(Thanks also to Takashi Iwai for a bugfix.)

bfcd17a6c5 Configure out file locking features
This patch adds the CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING option which allows to remove
support for advisory locks. With this patch enabled, the flock()
system call, the F_GETLK, F_SETLK and F_SETLKW operations of fcntl()
and NFS support are disabled. These features are not necessarly needed
on embedded systems. It allows to save ~11 Kb of kernel code and data:

   text          data     bss     dec     hex filename

04716e6621 nfsd: permit unauthenticated stat of export root
RFC 2623 section 2.3.2 permits the server to bypass gss authentication
checks for certain operations that a client may perform when mounting.
In the case of a client that doesn't have some form of credentials
available to it on boot, this allows it to perform the mount unattended.
(Presumably real file access won't be needed until a user with
credentials logs in.)

Being slightly more lenient allows lots of old clients to access
krb5-only exports, with the only loss being a small amount of
information leaked about the root directory of the export.

This affects only v2 and v3; v4 still requires authentication for all
access.

Thanks to Peter Staubach testing against a Solaris client, which
suggesting addition of v3 getattr, to the list, and to Trond for noting
that doing so exposes no additional information.

3d431a7427 avr32: nmi_enter() without nmi_exit()
While updating the rcu code, I noticed that do_nmi() for AVR32 is odd:
There is an nmi_enter() call without an nmi_exit().
This can't be correct, it breaks rcu (at least the preempt version) and
lockdep.

73d4393d1d avr32: fix sys_sync_file_range() call convention
On AVR32, all parameters beyond the 5th are passed on the stack. System
calls don't use the stack -- they borrow a callee-saved register
instead. This means that syscalls that take 6 parameters must be called
through a stub that pushes the last parameter on the stack.

This patch adds a stub for sync_file_range syscall on AVR32
architecture.  Tested with uClibc snapshot.
