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

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

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().

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.

fad6149041 nfs: Use UNSTABLE + COMMIT for NFS O_DIRECT writes
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.

Based on an earlier patch by Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com>
