Even if the server is crazy, we should be able to mark the stateid as being
bad, to ensure it gets recovered.

If the CLOSE or OPEN_DOWNGRADE call triggers a state recovery, and has
to be resent, then we must release the seqid. Otherwise the open
recovery will wait for the close to finish, which causes a deadlock.
This is mainly a NFSv4.1 problem, although it can theoretically happen
with NFSv4.0 too, in a OPEN_DOWNGRADE situation.

Move call to get the lease time and the setup of the state
renewal out of nfs4_create_session so that it can be called
after clearing the DRAINING flag. We use the getattr RPC
to obtain the lease time, which requires a sequence slot.

We should not assume that nfs41_init_clientid() will always want to
initialise the session. If it is being called due to a server reboot, then
we just want to reset the session after re-establishing the clientid.
Fix this by getting rid of the 'reset' parameter in
nfs4_proc_create_session(), and instead relying on whether or not the
session slot table pointer is non-NULL.

Implements RECLAIM_COMPLETE as an asynchronous RPC.
NFS4ERR_DELAY is retried, NFS4ERR_DEADSESSION invokes the error handling
but does not result in a retry, since we don't want to have a lingering
RECLAIM_COMPLETE call sent in the middle of a possible new state recovery
cycle. If a session reset occurs, a new wave of reclaim operations will
follow, containing their own RECLAIM_COMPLETE call. We don't want a
retry to get on the way of recovery by incorrectly indicating to the
server that we're done reclaiming state.
A subsequent patch invokes the functionality.

If the session is reset during state recovery, the state manager thread can
sleep on the slot_tbl_waitq causing a deadlock.
Add a completion framework to the session. Have the state manager thread set
a new session state (NFS4CLNT_SESSION_DRAINING) and wait for the session slot
table to drain.
Signal the state manager thread in nfs41_sequence_free_slot when the
NFS4CLNT_SESSION_DRAINING bit is set and the session is drained.

Commit 008f55d0e019943323c20a03493a2ba5672a4cc8 (nfs41: recover lease in
_nfs4_lookup_root) forces the state manager to always run on mount. This is
a bug in the case of NFSv4.0, which doesn't require us to send a
setclientid until we want to grab file state.
In any case, this is completely the wrong place to be doing state
management. Moving that code into nfs4_init_session...

At mount, nfs_alloc_client sets the cl_state NFS4CLNT_LEASE_EXPIRED bit
and nfs4_alloc_session sets the NFS4CLNT_SESSION_SETUP bit, so both bits are
set when nfs4_lookup_root calls nfs4_recover_expired_lease which schedules
the nfs4_state_manager and waits for it to complete.
Place the session setup after the clientid establishment in nfs4_state_manager
so that the session is setup right after the clientid has been established
without rescheduling the state manager.
Unlike nfsv4.0, the nfs_client struct is not ready to use until the session
has been established. Postpone marking the nfs_client struct to NFS_CS_READY
until after a successful CREATE_SESSION call so that other threads cannot use
the client until the session is established.
If the EXCHANGE_ID call fails and the session has not been setup (the
NFS4CLNT_SESSION_SETUP bit is set), mark the client with the error and return.
If the session setup CREATE_SESSION call fails with NFS4ERR_STALE_CLIENTID
which could occur due to server reboot or network partition inbetween the
EXCHANGE_ID and CREATE_SESSION call, reset the NFS4CLNT_LEASE_EXPIRED and
NFS4CLNT_SESSION_SETUP bits and try again.
If the CREATE_SESSION call fails with other errors, mark the client with
the error and return.

NFSv4 defines a number of state errors which the client does not currently
handle. Among those we should worry about are:
NFS4ERR_ADMIN_REVOKED - the server's administrator revoked our locks
and/or delegations.
NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID - the client and server are out of sync, possibly
due to a delegation return racing with an OPEN
request.
NFS4ERR_OPENMODE - the client attempted to do something not sanctioned
by the open mode of the stateid. Should normally just
occur as a result of a delegation return race.

Consider the case where the user has mounted the remote filesystem
server:/foo on the two local directories /bar and /baz using the
nosharedcache mount option. The files /bar/file and /baz/file are
represented by different inodes in the local namespace, but refer to the
same file /foo/file on the server.
Consider the case where a process opens both /bar/file and /baz/file, then
closes /bar/file: because the nfs4_state is not shared between /bar/file
and /baz/file, the kernel will see that the nfs4_state for /bar/file is no
longer referenced, so it will send off a CLOSE rpc call. Unless the
open_owners differ, then that CLOSE call will invalidate the open state on
/baz/file too.
Conclusion: we cannot share open state owners between two different
non-shared mount instances of the same filesystem.

Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().
In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

The attached patch makes NFS share superblocks between mounts from the same
server and FSID over the same protocol.
It does this by creating each superblock with a false root and returning the
real root dentry in the vfsmount presented by get_sb(). The root dentry set
starts off as an anonymous dentry if we don't already have the dentry for its
inode, otherwise it simply returns the dentry we already have.
We may thus end up with several trees of dentries in the superblock, and if at
some later point one of anonymous tree roots is discovered by normal filesystem
activity to be located in another tree within the superblock, the anonymous
root is named and materialises attached to the second tree at the appropriate
point.
Why do it this way? Why not pass an extra argument to the mount() syscall to
indicate the subpath and then pathwalk from the server root to the desired
directory? You can't guarantee this will work for two reasons:
(1) The root and intervening nodes may not be accessible to the client.
With NFS2 and NFS3, for instance, mountd is called on the server to get
the filehandle for the tip of a path. mountd won't give us handles for
anything we don't have permission to access, and so we can't set up NFS
inodes for such nodes, and so can't easily set up dentries (we'd have to
have ghost inodes or something).
With this patch we don't actually create dentries until we get handles
from the server that we can use to set up their inodes, and we don't
actually bind them into the tree until we know for sure where they go.
(2) Inaccessible symbolic links.
If we're asked to mount two exports from the server, eg:
mount warthog:/warthog/aaa/xxx /mmm
mount warthog:/warthog/bbb/yyy /nnn
We may not be able to access anything nearer the root than xxx and yyy,
but we may find out later that /mmm/www/yyy, say, is actually the same
directory as the one mounted on /nnn. What we might then find out, for
example, is that /warthog/bbb was actually a symbolic link to
/warthog/aaa/xxx/www, but we can't actually determine that by talking to
the server until /warthog is made available by NFS.
This would lead to having constructed an errneous dentry tree which we
can't easily fix. We can end up with a dentry marked as a directory when
it should actually be a symlink, or we could end up with an apparently
hardlinked directory.
With this patch we need not make assumptions about the type of a dentry
for which we can't retrieve information, nor need we assume we know its
place in the grand scheme of things until we actually see that place.
This patch reduces the possibility of aliasing in the inode and page caches for
inodes that may be accessed by more than one NFS export. It also reduces the
number of superblocks required for NFS where there are many NFS exports being
used from a server (home directory server + autofs for example).
This in turn makes it simpler to do local caching of network filesystems, as it
can then be guaranteed that there won't be links from multiple inodes in
separate superblocks to the same cache file.
Obviously, cache aliasing between different levels of NFS protocol could still
be a problem, but at least that gives us another key to use when indexing the
cache.
This patch makes the following changes:
(1) The server record construction/destruction has been abstracted out into
its own set of functions to make things easier to get right. These have
been moved into fs/nfs/client.c.
All the code in fs/nfs/client.c has to do with the management of
connections to servers, and doesn't touch superblocks in any way; the
remaining code in fs/nfs/super.c has to do with VFS superblock management.
(2) The sequence of events undertaken by NFS mount is now reordered:
(a) A volume representation (struct nfs_server) is allocated.
(b) A server representation (struct nfs_client) is acquired. This may be
allocated or shared, and is keyed on server address, port and NFS
version.
(c) If allocated, the client representation is initialised. The state
member variable of nfs_client is used to prevent a race during
initialisation from two mounts.
(d) For NFS4 a simple pathwalk is performed, walking from FH to FH to find
the root filehandle for the mount (fs/nfs/getroot.c). For NFS2/3 we
are given the root FH in advance.
(e) The volume FSID is probed for on the root FH.
(f) The volume representation is initialised from the FSINFO record
retrieved on the root FH.
(g) sget() is called to acquire a superblock. This may be allocated or
shared, keyed on client pointer and FSID.
(h) If allocated, the superblock is initialised.
(i) If the superblock is shared, then the new nfs_server record is
discarded.
(j) The root dentry for this mount is looked up from the root FH.
(k) The root dentry for this mount is assigned to the vfsmount.
(3) nfs_readdir_lookup() creates dentries for each of the entries readdir()
returns; this function now attaches disconnected trees from alternate
roots that happen to be discovered attached to a directory being read (in
the same way nfs_lookup() is made to do for lookup ops).
The new d_materialise_unique() function is now used to do this, thus
permitting the whole thing to be done under one set of locks, and thus
avoiding any race between mount and lookup operations on the same
directory.
(4) The client management code uses a new debug facility: NFSDBG_CLIENT which
is set by echoing 1024 to /proc/net/sunrpc/nfs_debug.
(5) Clone mounts are now called xdev mounts.
(6) Use the dentry passed to the statfs() op as the handle for retrieving fs
statistics rather than the root dentry of the superblock (which is now a
dummy).
