The current shrinker implementation requires the registered callback
to have global state to work from. This makes it difficult to shrink
caches that are not global (e.g. per-filesystem caches). Pass the shrinker
structure to the callback so that users can embed the shrinker structure
in the context the shrinker needs to operate on and get back to it in the
callback via container_of().

Introduce a set of functions in the kernel's RPC implementation for
converting between a socket address and either a standard
presentation address string or an RPC universal address.
The universal address functions will be used to encode and decode
RPCB_FOO and NFSv4 SETCLIENTID arguments. The other functions are
part of a previous promise to deliver shared functions that can be
used by upper-layer protocols to display and manipulate IP
addresses.
The kernel's current address printf formatters were designed
specifically for kernel to user-space APIs that require a particular
string format for socket addresses, thus are somewhat limited for the
purposes of sunrpc.ko. The formatter for IPv6 addresses, %pI6, does
not support short-handing or scope IDs. Also, these printf formatters
are unique per address family, so a separate formatter string is
required for printing AF_INET and AF_INET6 addresses.

At mount, nfs_alloc_client sets the cl_state NFS4CLNT_LEASE_EXPIRED bit
and nfs4_alloc_session sets the NFS4CLNT_SESSION_SETUP bit, so both bits are
set when nfs4_lookup_root calls nfs4_recover_expired_lease which schedules
the nfs4_state_manager and waits for it to complete.
Place the session setup after the clientid establishment in nfs4_state_manager
so that the session is setup right after the clientid has been established
without rescheduling the state manager.
Unlike nfsv4.0, the nfs_client struct is not ready to use until the session
has been established. Postpone marking the nfs_client struct to NFS_CS_READY
until after a successful CREATE_SESSION call so that other threads cannot use
the client until the session is established.
If the EXCHANGE_ID call fails and the session has not been setup (the
NFS4CLNT_SESSION_SETUP bit is set), mark the client with the error and return.
If the session setup CREATE_SESSION call fails with NFS4ERR_STALE_CLIENTID
which could occur due to server reboot or network partition inbetween the
EXCHANGE_ID and CREATE_SESSION call, reset the NFS4CLNT_LEASE_EXPIRED and
NFS4CLNT_SESSION_SETUP bits and try again.

Add NFS mount options to allow the local caching support to be enabled.
The attached patch makes it possible for the NFS filesystem to be told to make
use of the network filesystem local caching service (FS-Cache).
To be able to use this, a recent nfsutils package is required.
There are three variant NFS mount options that can be added to a mount command
to control caching for a mount. Only the last one specified takes effect:
(*) Adding "fsc" will request caching.
(*) Adding "fsc=<string>" will request caching and also specify a uniquifier.
(*) Adding "nofsc" will disable caching.
For example:
mount warthog:/ /a -o fsc
The cache of a particular superblock (NFS FSID) will be shared between all
mounts of that volume, provided they have the same connection parameters and
are not marked 'nosharecache'.
Where it is otherwise impossible to distinguish superblocks because all the
parameters are identical, but the 'nosharecache' option is supplied, a
uniquifying string must be supplied, else only the first mount will be
permitted to use the cache.
If there's a key collision, then the second mount will disable caching and give
a warning into the kernel log.

Define and create superblock-level cache index objects (as managed by
nfs_server structs).
Each superblock object is created in a server level index object and is itself
an index into which inode-level objects are inserted.
Ideally there would be one superblock-level object per server, and the former
would be folded into the latter; however, since the "nosharecache" option
exists this isn't possible.
The superblock object key is a sequence consisting of:
(1) Certain superblock s_flags.
(2) Various connection parameters that serve to distinguish superblocks for
sget().
(3) The volume FSID.
(4) The security flavour.
(5) The uniquifier length.
(6) The uniquifier text. This is normally an empty string, unless the fsc=xyz
mount option was used to explicitly specify a uniquifier.
The key blob is of variable length, depending on the length of (6).
The superblock object is given no coherency data to carry in the auxiliary data
permitted by the cache. It is assumed that the superblock is always coherent.
This patch also adds uniquification handling such that two otherwise identical
superblocks, at least one of which is marked "nosharecache", won't end up
trying to share the on-disk cache. It will be possible to manually provide a
uniquifier through a mount option with a later patch to avoid the error
otherwise produced.

The following patch is a combination of a patch by myself and Peter
Staubach.
Trond: If we allow other processes to dirty pages while a process is doing
a consistency sync to disk, we can end up never making progress.
Peter: Attached is a patch which addresses a continuing problem with
the NFS client generating out of order WRITE requests. While
this is compliant with all of the current protocol
specifications, there are servers in the market which can not
handle out of order WRITE requests very well. Also, this may
lead to sub-optimal block allocations in the underlying file
system on the server. This may cause the read throughputs to
be reduced when reading the file from the server.
Peter: There has been a lot of work recently done to address out of
order issues on a systemic level. However, the NFS client is
still susceptible to the problem. Out of order WRITE
requests can occur when pdflush is in the middle of writing
out pages while the process dirtying the pages calls
generic_file_buffered_write which calls
generic_perform_write which calls
balance_dirty_pages_rate_limited which ends up calling
writeback_inodes which ends up calling back into the NFS
client to writes out dirty pages for the same file that
pdflush happens to be working with.

Instead of causing umount requests to block on server->active_wq while the
asynchronous sillyrename deletes are executing, we can use the sb->s_active
counter to obtain a reference to the super_block, and then release that
reference in nfs_async_unlink_release().

Since O_DIRECT is a standard feature that is enabled in most distros,
eliminate the CONFIG_NFS_DIRECTIO build option, and change the
fs/nfs/Makefile to always build in the NFS direct I/O engine.

During a remount based on the mount options displayed in /proc/mounts, we
want to preserve the original behavior of the mount request. Let's save
the original setting of the "port=" mount option in the mount's nfs_server
structure.
This allows us to simplify the default behavior of port setting for NFSv4
mounts: by default, NFSv2/3 mounts first try an RPC bind to determine the
NFS server's port, unless the user specified the "port=" mount option;
Users can force the client to skip the RPC bind by explicitly specifying
"port=<value>".
NFSv4, by contrast, assumes the NFS server port is 2049 and skips the RPC
bind, unless the user specifies "port=". Users can force an RPC bind for
NFSv4 by explicitly specifying "port=0".
I added a couple of extra comments to clarify this behavior.

Clean up: make data types of fields in nfs_parsed_mount_options more
consistent with other uses.
