Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] nfsd: use workqueue enable/disable APIs for v4_end_grace sync
Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2025 13:42:00 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251213184200.585652-3-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251213184200.585652-1-cel@kernel.org>
From: NeilBrown <neil@brown.name>
"nfsd: provide locking for v4_end_grace" introduced a
client_tracking_active flag protected by nn->client_lock to prevent
the laundromat from being scheduled before client tracking
initialization or after shutdown begins. That commit is suitable for
backporting to LTS kernels that predate commit 86898fa6b8cd
("workqueue: Implement disable/enable for (delayed) work items").
However, the workqueue subsystem in recent kernels provides
enable_delayed_work() and disable_delayed_work_sync() for this
purpose. Using this mechanism enable us to remove the
client_tracking_active flag and associated spinlock operations
while preserving the same synchronization guarantees, which is
a cleaner long-term approach.
