nfsd cannot currently use svc_set_num_threads_sync. It instead uses svc_set_num_threads which does *not* wait for threads to all exit, and has a separate mechanism (nfsd_shutdown_complete) to wait for completion. The reason that nfsd is unlike other services is that nfsd threads can exit separately from svc_set_num_threads being called - they die on receipt of SIGKILL. Also, when the last thread exits, the service must be shut down (sockets closed). For this, the nfsd_mutex needs to be taken, and as that mutex needs to be held while svc_set_num_threads is called, the one cannot wait for the other. This patch changes the nfsd thread so that it can drop the ref on the service without blocking on nfsd_mutex, so that svc_set_num_threads_sync can be used: - if it can drop a non-last reference, it does that. This does not trigger shutdown and does not require a mutex. This will likely happen for all but the last thread signalled, and for all threads being shut down by nfsd_shutdown_threads() - if it can get the mutex without blocking (trylock), it does that and then drops the reference. This will likely happen for the last thread killed by SIGKILL - Otherwise there might be an unrelated task holding the mutex, possibly in another network namespace, or nfsd_shutdown_threads() might be just about to get a reference on the service, after which we can drop ours safely. We cannot conveniently get wakeup notifications on these events, and we are unlikely to need to, so we sleep briefly and check again. With this we can discard nfsd_shutdown_complete and nfsd_complete_shutdown(), and switch to svc_set_num_threads_sync.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
