[PATCH 3.9-stable] NFSv4.1 Fix a pNFS session draining deadlock

[Jonghwan Choi]

This patch looks like it should be in the 3.9-stable tree, should we apply
it?

------------------

From: "Andy Adamson <andros@netapp.com>"

commit 774d5f14ee1ecac55f42a84ff35eb00b896b00b6 upstream

On a CB_RECALL the callback service thread flushes the inode using
filemap_flush prior to scheduling the state manager thread to return the
delegation. When pNFS is used and I/O has not yet gone to the data server
servicing the inode, a LAYOUTGET can preceed the I/O. Unlike the async
filemap_flush call, the LAYOUTGET must proceed to completion.

If the state manager starts to recover data while the inode flush is sending
the LAYOUTGET, a deadlock occurs as the callback service thread holds the
single callback session slot until the flushing is done which blocks the
state
manager thread, and the state manager thread has set the session draining
bit
which puts the inode flush LAYOUTGET RPC to sleep on the forechannel slot
table waitq.

Separate the draining of the back channel from the draining of the fore
channel
by moving the NFS4_SESSION_DRAINING bit from session scope into the fore
and back slot tables.  Drain the back channel first allowing the LAYOUTGET
call to proceed (and fail) so the callback service thread frees the callback
slot. Then proceed with draining the forechannel.

It's a condition which appears to be extremely rare: so far, we've only
seen it during extreme stress testing at NetApp. For that reason, and
because it is NFSv4.1 only, I'm inclined to wait until we see real-world
cases before making it a stable patch.

Thanks for letting us know, I'll not apply it unless you say we should
later on.
