changeset a6d85430424d44e946e0946bfaad607115510989 in upstream

The recent fix for a circular lock dependency unfortunately introduced a
potential memory leak in the event where the call to nlmsvc_lookup_host
fails for some reason.

Thanks to Roel Kluin for spotting this.

commit 255129d1e9ca0ed3d69d5517fae3e03d7ab4b806 in upstream.

The problem is that the garbage collector for the 'host' structures
nlm_gc_hosts(), holds nlm_host_mutex while calling down to
nlmsvc_mark_resources, which, eventually takes the file-&gt;f_mutex.

We cannot therefore call nlmsvc_lookup_host() from within
nlmsvc_create_block, since the caller will already hold file-&gt;f_mutex, so
the attempt to grab nlm_host_mutex may deadlock.

Fix the problem by calling nlmsvc_lookup_host() outside the file-&gt;f_mutex.

Remove includes of &lt;linux/smp_lock.h&gt; where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.

Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,

Rewrite nlmsvc_lock() to use the asynchronous interface.

As with testlock, we answer nlm requests in nlmsvc_lock by first looking up
the block and then using the results we find in the block if B_QUEUED is
set, and calling vfs_lock_file() otherwise.

If this a new lock request and we get -EINPROGRESS return on a non-blocking
request then we defer the request.

Also modify nlmsvc_unlock() to call the filesystem method if appropriate.

Normally we could skip ever having to allocate a block in the case where
the client asks for a non-blocking lock, or asks for a blocking lock that
succeeds immediately.

However we're going to want to always look up a block first in order to
check whether we're revisiting a deferred lock call, and to be prepared to
handle the case where the filesystem returns -EINPROGRESS--in that case we
want to make sure the lock we've given the filesystem is the one embedded
in the block that we'll use to track the deferred request.

Rewrite nlmsvc_testlock() to use the new asynchronous interface: instead of
immediately doing a posix_test_lock(), we first look for a matching block.
If the subsequent test_lock returns anything other than -EINPROGRESS, we
then remove the block we've found and return the results.

If it returns -EINPROGRESS, then we defer the lock request.

In the case where the block we find in the first step has B_QUEUED set,
we bypass the vfs_test_lock entirely, instead using the block to decide how
to respond:
	with nlm_lck_denied if B_TIMED_OUT is set.
	with nlm_granted if B_GOT_CALLBACK is set.
	by dropping if neither B_TIMED_OUT nor B_GOT_CALLBACK is set
