If a request is re-encoded and then retransmitted, we need to make sure
that we also re-encode the bvec, in case the page lists have changed.

Expose a function that allows a removal of xprt from the rpc_clnt.

When called from NFS that's running a trunked transport then don't
decrement the active transport counter.

We must ensure that all sockets are closed before we call xprt_free()
and release the reference to the net namespace. The problem is that
calling fput() will defer closing the socket until delayed_fput() gets
called.
Let's fix the situation by allowing rpciod and the transport teardown
code (which runs on the system wq) to call __fput_sync(), and directly
close the socket.

If -&gt;request_prepare() detects an error, it sets -&gt;rq_task-&gt;tk_status.
This is easy for callers to ignore.
The only caller is xprt_request_enqueue_receive() and it does ignore the
error, as does call_encode() which calls it.  This can result in a
request being queued to receive a reply without an allocated receive buffer.

So instead of setting rq_task-&gt;tk_status, return an error, and store in
-&gt;tk_status only in call_encode();

The call to xprt_request_enqueue_receive() is now earlier in
call_encode(), where the error can still be handled.

 "Highlights include:

  Features:

   - Switch NFS to use readahead instead of the obsolete readpages.

   - Readdir fixes to improve cacheability of large directories when
     there are multiple readers and writers.

   - Readdir performance improvements when doing a seekdir() immediately
     after opening the directory (common when re-exporting NFS).

   - NFS swap improvements from Neil Brown.

   - Loosen up memory allocation to permit direct reclaim and write back
     in cases where there is no danger of deadlocking the writeback code
     or NFS swap.

   - Avoid sillyrename when the NFSv4 server claims to support the
     necessary features to recover the unlinked but open file after
     reboot.

  Bugfixes:

   - Patch from Olga to add a mount option to control NFSv4.1 session
     trunking discovery, and default it to being off.

   - Fix a lockup in nfs_do_recoalesce().

   - Two fixes for list iterator variables being used when pointing to
     the list head.

   - Fix a kernel memory scribble when reading from a non-socket
     transport in /sys/kernel/sunrpc.

   - Fix a race where reconnecting to a server could leave the TCP
     socket stuck forever in the connecting state.

   - Patch from Neil to fix a shutdown race which can leave the SUNRPC
     transport timer primed after we free the struct xprt itself.

   - Patch from Xin Xiong to fix reference count leaks in the NFSv4.2
     copy offload.

   - Sunrpc patch from Olga to avoid resending a task on an offlined
     transport.

  Cleanups:

xprt_destory() claims XPRT_LOCKED and then calls del_timer_sync().
Both xprt_unlock_connect() and xprt_release() call
 -&gt;release_xprt()
which drops XPRT_LOCKED and *then* xprt_schedule_autodisconnect()
which calls mod_timer().

This may result in mod_timer() being called *after* del_timer_sync().
When this happens, the timer may fire long after the xprt has been freed,
and run_timer_softirq() will probably crash.

The pairing of -&gt;release_xprt() and xprt_schedule_autodisconnect() is
always called under -&gt;transport_lock.  So if we take -&gt;transport_lock to
call del_timer_sync(), we can be sure that mod_timer() will run first
(if it runs at all).

rpc tasks can be marked as RPC_TASK_SWAPPER.  This causes GFP_MEMALLOC
to be used for some allocations.  This is needed in some cases, but not
in all where it is currently provided, and in some where it isn't
provided.

Currently *all* tasks associated with a rpc_client on which swap is
enabled get the flag and hence some GFP_MEMALLOC support.

GFP_MEMALLOC is provided for -&gt;buf_alloc() but only swap-writes need it.
However xdr_alloc_bvec does not get GFP_MEMALLOC - though it often does
need it.

xdr_alloc_bvec is called while the XPRT_LOCK is held.  If this blocks,
then it blocks all other queued tasks.  So this allocation needs
GFP_MEMALLOC for *all* requests, not just writes, when the xprt is used
for any swap writes.

Similarly, if the transport is not connected, that will block all
requests including swap writes, so memory allocations should get
GFP_MEMALLOC if swap writes are possible.

So with this patch:
 1/ we ONLY set RPC_TASK_SWAPPER for swap writes.
 2/ __rpc_execute() sets PF_MEMALLOC while handling any task
    with RPC_TASK_SWAPPER set, or when handling any task that
    holds the XPRT_LOCKED lock on an xprt used for swap.
    This removes the need for the RPC_IS_SWAPPER() test
    in -&gt;buf_alloc handlers.
 3/ xprt_prepare_transmit() sets PF_MEMALLOC after locking
    any task to a swapper xprt.  __rpc_execute() will clear it.
 3/ PF_MEMALLOC is set for all the connect workers.
