The data in Kerberos gss tokens can be rotated. But we were lazy and
rejected any nonzero rotation value. It wasn't necessary for the
implementations we were testing against at the time.
But it appears that Windows does use a nonzero value here.
So, implement rotation to bring ourselves into compliance with the spec
and to interoperate with Windows.

The fs_location->hosts list is split on colons, but this doesn't work when
IPv6 addresses are used (they contain colons).
This patch adds the function nfsd4_encode_components_esc() to
allow the caller to specify escape characters when splitting on 'sep'.
In order to fix referrals, this patch must be used with the mountd patch
that similarly fixes IPv6 [] escaping.

It's possible that lockd or another lock manager might still be on the
list after we call nfsd4_end_grace. If the laundromat thread runs
again at that point, then we could end up calling nfsd4_end_grace more
than once.
That's not only inefficient, but calling nfsd4_recdir_purge_old more
than once could be problematic. Fix this by adding a new global
"grace_ended" flag and use that to determine whether we've already
called nfsd4_grace_end.

Allow a v3 unchecked open of a non-regular file succeed as if it were a
lookup; typically a client in such a case will want to fall back on a
local open, so succeeding and giving it the filehandle is more useful
than failing with nfserr_exist, which makes it appear that nothing at
all exists by that name.
Similarly for v4, on an open-create, return the same errors we would on
an attempt to open a non-regular file, instead of returning
nfserr_exist.
This fixes a problem found doing a v4 open of a symlink with
O_RDONLY|O_CREAT, which resulted in the current client returning EEXIST.
Thanks also to Trond for analysis.

Add abort flag and use it to terminate processing when an exchange
is timed out or is reset. The abort flag is used in place of the
transport_generic_free_cmd function call in the reset and timeout
cases, because calling that function in that context would free
memory that was in use. The aborted flag allows the lifetime to
be managed in a more normal way, while truncating the processing.
This change eliminates a source of memory corruption which
manifested in a variety of ugly ways.

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them. This is preparation for that.
This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:
- some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
bit count instruction, for example.
- I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have
more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
this.
(and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
right thing to do, of course)

From Eric Dumazet.

Fixes from Eric Dumazet.
13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
to transmit the PPP frame.
But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.
Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should
only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.
David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until
it's downstream can't take data any more.
