<content type='text'>
Rewrite grace period code to unify management of grace period across
lockd and nfsd.  The current code has lockd and nfsd cooperate to
compute a grace period which is satisfactory to them both, and then
individually enforce it.  This creates a slight race condition, since
the enforcement is not coordinated.  It's also more complicated than
necessary.

Here instead we have lockd and nfsd each inform common code when they
enter the grace period, and when they're ready to leave the grace
period, and allow normal locking only after both of them are ready to
leave.

We also expect the locks_start_grace()/locks_end_grace() interface here
to be simpler to build on for future cluster/high-availability work,
which may require (for example) putting individual filesystems into
grace, or enforcing grace periods across multiple cluster nodes.

Fix nlm_fopen() to return NLM_FAILED (or NLM_LCK_DENIED_NOLOCKS) instead
of NLM_LCK_DENIED.  The latter means the lock request failed because of a
conflicting lock (i.e.  a temporary error), which is wrong in this case.

Also fix the client to return ENOLCK instead of EAGAIN if a blocking lock
request returns with NLM_LOCK_DENIED.

Rename nfsd_permission() specific MAY_* flags to NFSD_MAY_* to make it
clear, that these are not used outside nfsd, and to avoid name and
number space conflicts with the VFS.

[comment from hch: rename MAY_READ, MAY_WRITE and MAY_EXEC as well]

Both lockd and (in the nfsv4 case) nfsd enforce a "grace period" after reboot,
during which clients may reclaim locks from the previous server instance, but
may not acquire new locks.

Currently the lockd and nfsd enforce grace periods of different lengths.  This
may cause problems when we reboot a server with both v2/v3 and v4 clients.
For example, if the lockd grace period is shorter (as is likely the case),
then a v3 client might acquire a new lock that conflicts with a lock already
held (but not yet reclaimed) by a v4 client.

This patch calculates a lease time that lockd and nfsd can both use.

<title>[PATCH] knfsd: Allow lockd to drop replies as appropriate</title>

It is possible for the -&gt;fopen callback from lockd into nfsd to find that an
answer cannot be given straight away (an upcall is needed) and so the request
has to be 'dropped', to be retried later.  That error status is not currently
propagated back.

So:
  Change nlm_fopen to return nlm error codes (rather than a private
  protocol) and define a new nlm_drop_reply code.
  Cause nlm_drop_reply to cause the rpc request to get rpc_drop_reply
  when this error comes back.
  Cause svc_process to drop a request which returns a status of
  rpc_drop_reply.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
