Benjamin Coddington f30cb757f6 NFS: Always wait for I/O completion before unlock
NFS attempts to wait for read and write completion before unlocking in
order to ensure that the data returned was protected by the lock.  When
this waiting is interrupted by a signal, the unlock may be skipped, and
messages similar to the following are seen in the kernel ring buffer:

[20.167876] Leaked locks on dev=0x0:0x2b ino=0x8dd4c3:
[20.168286] POSIX: fl_owner=ffff880078b06940 fl_flags=0x1 fl_type=0x0 fl_pid=20183
[20.168727] POSIX: fl_owner=ffff880078b06680 fl_flags=0x1 fl_type=0x0 fl_pid=20185

For NFSv3, the missing unlock will cause the server to refuse conflicting
locks indefinitely.  For NFSv4, the leftover lock will be removed by the
server after the lease timeout.

This patch fixes this issue by skipping the usual wait in
nfs_iocounter_wait if the FL_CLOSE flag is set when signaled.  Instead, the
wait happens in the unlock RPC task on the NFS UOC rpc_waitqueue.

For NFSv3, use lockd's new nlmclnt_operations along with
nfs_async_iocounter_wait to defer NLM's unlock task until the lock
context's iocounter reaches zero.

For NFSv4, call nfs_async_iocounter_wait() directly from unlock's
current rpc_call_prepare.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
