The root cause of the NFS hang we were observing appears to be a rare
deadlock between the kernel provided usermodehelper API and the linux NFS
client. The deadlock can arise because both of these services use the
generic linux work queues. The usermodehelper API run the specified user
application in the context of the work queue. And NFS submits both cleanup
and reconnect work to the generic work queue for handling. Normally this
is fine but a deadlock can result in the following situation.
- NFS client is in a disconnected state
- [events/0] runs a usermodehelper app with an NFS dependent operation,
this triggers an NFS reconnect.
- NFS reconnect happens to be submitted to [events/0] work queue.
- Deadlock, the [events/0] work queue will never process the
reconnect because it is blocked on the previous NFS dependent
operation which will not complete.`
The solution is simply to run reconnect requests on rpciod.

Instead of taking the mutex every time we just need to increment/decrement
rpciod_users, we can optmise by using atomic_inc_not_zero and
atomic_dec_and_test.

The kref now does most of what cl_count + cl_user used to do. The only
remaining role for cl_count is to tell us if we are in a 'shutdown'
phase. We can provide that information using a single bit field instead
of a full atomic counter.
Also rename rpc_destroy_client() to rpc_close_client(), which reflects
better what its role is these days.

Replace it with explicit calls to rpc_shutdown_client() or
rpc_destroy_client() (for the case of asynchronous calls).

Its use is at best racy, and there is only one user (lockd), which has
additional locking that makes the whole thing redundant.

Also ensure that nfs_inode ncommit and npages are large enough to represent
all possible values for the number of pages.

Also get rid of a redundant call to nfs_setattr_update_inode(). The call to
nfs3_proc_setattr() already takes care of that.

The Linux NFS4 client simply skips over the bitmask in an O_EXCL open
call and so it doesn't bother to reset any fields that may be holding
the verifier. This patch has us save the first two words of the bitmask
(which is all the current client has #defines for). The client then
later checks this bitmask and turns on the appropriate flags in the
sattr->ia_verify field for the following SETATTR call.
This patch only currently checks to see if the server used the atime
and mtime slots for the verifier (which is what the Linux server uses
for this). I'm not sure of what other fields the server could
reasonably use, but adding checks for others should be trivial.

nfs_symlink() allocates a GFP_KERNEL page for the pagecache. Most
pagecache pages are allocated using GFP_HIGHUSER, and there's no reason
not to do that in nfs_symlink() as well.

We don't need to revalidate the fsid on the root directory. It suffices to
revalidate it on the current directory.

nfs4_do_close() does not currently have any way to ensure that the user
won't attempt to unmount the partition while the asynchronous RPC call
is completing. This again may cause Oopses in nfs_update_inode().
Add a vfsmount argument to nfs4_close_state to ensure that the partition
remains mounted while we're closing the file.

A number of race conditions may currently ensue if the user presses ^C
and then unmounts the partition while an asynchronous open() is in
progress.

Since PG_uptodate may now end up getting set during the call to
nfs_wb_page(), we can avoid putting a read request on the wire in those
situations.

The write may fail, so we should not mark the page as uptodate until we are
certain that the data has been accepted and written to disk by the server.

There is no need to fail the entire O_DIRECT read/write just because

Add the termios2 structure ready for enabling on most platforms. One or
two like Sparc are plain weird so have been left alone. Most can use the
same structure as ktermios for termios2 (ie the newer ioctl uses the
structure matching the current kernel structure)

Many places in kernel use seq_file API to iterate over a regular list_head.
The code for such iteration is identical in all the places, so it's worth
introducing a common helpers.
This makes code about 300 lines smaller:
The first version of this patch made the helper functions static inline
in the seq_file.h header. This patch moves them to the fs/seq_file.c as
Andrew proposed. The vmlinux .text section sizes are as follows:
2.6.22-rc1-mm1: 0x001794d5
with the previous version: 0x00179505
with this patch: 0x00179135
The config file used was make allnoconfig with the "y" inclusion of all
the possible options to make the files modified by the patch compile plus
drivers I have on the test node.

This is a hybrid version of the patch to add the LZO1X compression
algorithm to the kernel. Nitin and myself have merged the best parts of
the various patches to form this version which we're both happy with (and
are jointly signing off).
The performance of this version is equivalent to the original minilzo code
it was based on. Bytecode comparisons have also been made on ARM, i386 and
x86_64 with favourable results.
There are several users of LZO lined up including jffs2, crypto and reiser4
since its much faster than zlib.
