One of the huge annoyances in dealing with knfsd is the 90s grace period
that's imposed when the server reboots. This is not just an annoyance,
but means a siginificant amount of "downtime" in many production
environments.

This patchset aimed at reducing this pain. It adds a couple of /proc
knobs that tell the lockd and nfsd lock managers to lift the grace
period.

It also changes the UMH upcalls to pass a little bit of extra info in
the form of environment variables so that the upcall program can
determine whether there are still any clients that may be in the process
of reclaiming.

For now, this is an RFC. Does anyone have comments on the general
approach here?

Jeff Layton (4):
  lockd: add a /proc/fs/lockd/nlm_end_grace file
  nfsd: add a v4_end_grace file to /proc/fs/nfsd
  nfsd: remove redundant boot_time parm from grace_done client tracking
    op
  nfsd: pass extra info in env vars to upcalls to allow for early grace
    period end
