commit 24ca9a847791fd53d9b217330b15f3c285827a18 upstream.

By returning '0' instead of 'EAGAIN' when the tests in xs_nospace() fail
to find evidence of socket congestion, we are making the RPC engine believe
that the message was incorrectly sent and so it disconnects the socket
instead of just retrying.

The bug appears to have been introduced by commit
5e3771ce2d6a69e10fcc870cdf226d121d868491 (SUNRPC: Ensure that xs_nospace
return values are propagated).

<title>SUNRPC: Support for RPC over AF_LOCAL transports</title>

<content type='text'>
TI-RPC introduces the capability of performing RPC over AF_LOCAL
sockets.  It uses this mainly for registering and unregistering
local RPC services securely with the local rpcbind, but we could
also conceivably use it as a generic upcall mechanism.

This patch provides a client-side only implementation for the moment.
We might also consider a server-side implementation to provide
AF_LOCAL access to NLM (for statd downcalls, and such like).

Autobinding is not supported on kernel AF_LOCAL transports at this
time.  Kernel ULPs must specify the pathname of the remote endpoint
when an AF_LOCAL transport is created.  rpcbind supports registering
services available via AF_LOCAL, so the kernel could handle it with
some adjustment to -&gt;rpcbind and -&gt;set_port.  But we don't need this
feature for doing upcalls via well-known named sockets.

This has not been tested with ULPs that move a substantial amount of
data.  Thus, I can't attest to how robust the write_space and
congestion management logic is.

<content type='text'>
Clean up: Use a more generic name for xs_encode_tcp_fragment_header();
it's appropriate to use for all stream transport types.  We're about
to add new stream transport.

Also, move it to a place where it is more easily shared amongst the
various send_request methods.  And finally, replace the "htonl" macro
invocation with its modern equivalent.

The TCP connection state code depends on the state_change() callback
being called when the SYN_SENT state is set. However the networking layer
doesn't actually call us back in that case.

If we call xs_close(), we're in one of two situations:
 - Autoclose, which means we don't expect to resend a request
 - bind+connect failed, which probably means the port is in use

Fix up conflicts in fs/nfsd/vfs.c with the vfs-scale work.  The
vfs-scale work touched some msnfs cases, and this merge removes support

Multiple backchannels can share the same tcp connection; from rfc 5661 section
2.10.3.1:

	A connection's association with a session is not exclusive.  A
	connection associated with the channel(s) of one session may be
	simultaneously associated with the channel(s) of other sessions
	including sessions associated with other client IDs.

However, multiple backchannels share a connection, they must all share
the same xid stream (hence the same rpc_xprt); the only way we have to
match replies with calls at the rpc layer is using the xid.

So, keep the rpc_xprt around as long as the connection lasts, in case
we're asked to use the connection as a backchannel again.

Requests to create new backchannel clients over a given server
connection should results in creating new clients that reuse the
existing rpc_xprt.

But to start, just reject attempts to associate multiple rpc_xprt's with
the same underlying bc_xprt.
