Make the struct cache_detail *tmpl argument of the function
cache_create_net as const as it is only getting passed to kmemup having
the argument as const void *.
Add const to the prototype too.

Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields:
 "The nfsd update this round is mainly a lot of miscellaneous cleanups
  and bugfixes.

  A couple changes could theoretically break working setups on upgrade.
  I don't expect complaints in practice, but they seem worth calling out
  just in case:

   - NFS security labels are now off by default; a new security_label
     export flag reenables it per export. But, having them on by default
     is a disaster, as it generally only makes sense if all your clients
     and servers have similar enough selinux policies. Thanks to Jason
     Tibbitts for pointing this out.

   - NFSv4/UDP support is off. It was never really supported, and the
     spec explicitly forbids it. We only ever left it on out of
     laziness; thanks to Jeff Layton for finally fixing that"

* tag 'nfsd-4.11' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux: (34 commits)

When the first time pynfs runs after rpc/nfsd startup, always get the warning,

"Got error: Connection closed"

I found the problem is caused by,
1. A new startup of nfsd, rpc.mountd, etc,
2. A rpc request from client (pynfs test, or normal mounting),
3. An ip_map cache is created but invalid, so upcall to rpc.mountd,
4. rpc.mountd process the ip_map upcall, before write the valid data to nfsd,
   do auth_reload(), and check_useipaddr(),
5. For the first time, old_use_ipaddr = -1, it causes rpc.mountd do write_flush    that doing cache_clean,
6. The ip_map cache will be treat as expired and clean,
7. When rpc.mountd write the valid data to nfsd, a new ip_map is created
   and updated, the cache_check of old ip_map(doing the upcall) will
   return -ETIMEDOUT.
8. RPC layer return SVC_CLOSE and close the xprt after commit 4d712ef1db05
   "svcauth_gss: Close connection when dropping an incoming message"

NeilBrown suggest in another email,

"If CACHE_VALID is not set, then there is no data in the cache item,
 so there is nothing to expire. So it would be nice if cache items that
 don't have CACHE_VALID are never treated as expired."

v3, change the order of the two patches
v2, change the checking of CACHE_PENDING to CACHE_VALID

<title>svcrpc: free contexts immediately on PROC_DESTROY</title>

<id>2b477c00f3bd87c3286f5940cb4174d8b01ee0d5</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently handle a client PROC_DESTROY request by turning it
CACHE_NEGATIVE, setting the expired time to now, and then waiting for
cache_clean to clean it up later.  Since we forgot to set the cache's
nextcheck value, that could take up to 30 minutes.  Also, though there's
probably no real bug in this case, setting CACHE_NEGATIVE directly like
this probably isn't a great idea in general.

So let's just remove the entry from the cache directly, and move this
bit of cache manipulation to a helper function.

Since we need to change the implementation, stop exposing internals.

Provide kref_read() to read the current reference count; typically
used for debug messages.

Kills two anti-patterns:

The caches used to store sunrpc authentication information can be
flushed by writing a timestamp to a file in /proc.

This timestamp has a one-second resolution and any entry in cache that
was last_refreshed *before* that time is treated as expired.

This is problematic as it is not possible to reliably flush the cache
without interrupting NFS service.
If the current time is written to the "flush" file, any entry that was
added since the current second started will still be treated as valid.
If one second beyond than the current time is written to the file
then no entries can be valid until the second ticks over.  This will
mean that no NFS request will be handled for up to 1 second.

To resolve this issue we make two changes:

1/ treat an entry as expired if the timestamp when it was last_refreshed
  is before *or the same as* the expiry time.  This means that current
  code which writes out the current time will now flush the cache
  reliably.

2/ when a new entry in added to the cache -  set the last_refresh timestamp
  to 1 second *beyond* the current flush time, when that not in the
  past.
  This ensures that newly added entries will always be valid.

Now that we have a very reliable way to flush the cache, and also
since we are using "since-boot" timestamps which are monotonic,
change cache_purge() to set the smallest future flush_time which
will work, and leave it there: don't revert to '1'.

Also disable the setting of the 'flush_time' far into the future.
That has never been useful and is now awkward as it would cause
last_refresh times to be strange.
Finally: if a request is made to set the 'flush_time' to the current
second, assume the intent is to flush the cache and advance it, if
necessary, to 1 second beyond the current 'flush_time' so that all
active entries will be deemed to be expired.

As part of this we need to add a 'cache_detail' arg to cache_init()
and cache_fresh_locked() so they can find the current -&gt;flush_time.

Switch using list_head for cache_head in cache_detail,
it is useful of remove an cache_head entry directly from cache_detail.

v8, using hash list, not head list
