The <linux/module.h> pretty much brings in the kitchen sink along
with it, so it should be avoided wherever reasonably possible in
terms of being included from other commonly used <linux/something.h>
files, as it results in a measureable increase on compile times.
The worst culprit was probably device.h since it is used everywhere.
This file also had an implicit dependency/usage of mutex.h which was
masked by module.h, and is also fixed here at the same time.
There are over a dozen other headers that simply declare the
struct instead of pulling in the whole file, so follow their lead
and simply make it a few more.
Most of the implicit dependencies on module.h being present by
these headers pulling it in have been now weeded out, so we can
finally make this change with hopefully minimal breakage.

The xpt_pool field is only used for reporting BUGs.
And it isn't used correctly.
In particular, when it is cleared in svc_xprt_received before
XPT_BUSY is cleared, there is no guarantee that either the
compiler or the CPU might not re-order to two assignments, just
setting xpt_pool to NULL after XPT_BUSY is cleared.
If a different cpu were running svc_xprt_enqueue at this moment,
it might see XPT_BUSY clear and then xpt_pool non-NULL, and
so BUG.
This could be fixed by calling
smp_mb__before_clear_bit()
before the clear_bit. However as xpt_pool isn't really used,
it seems safest to simply remove xpt_pool.
Another alternate would be to change the clear_bit to
clear_bit_unlock, and the test_and_set_bit to test_and_set_bit_lock.

The svc_xprt_names() function can overflow its buffer if it's so near
the end of the passed in buffer that the "name too long" string still
doesn't fit. Of course, it could never tell if it was near the end
of the passed in buffer, since its only caller passes in zero as the
buffer length.
Let's make this API a little safer.
Change svc_xprt_names() so it *always* checks for a buffer overflow,
and change its only caller to pass in the correct buffer length.
If svc_xprt_names() does overflow its buffer, it now fails with an
ENAMETOOLONG errno, instead of trying to write a message at the end
of the buffer. I don't like this much, but I can't figure out a clean
way that's always safe to return some of the names, *and* an
indication that the buffer was not long enough.
The displayed error when doing a 'cat /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist' is
"File name too long".

The svc_addr_len() helper function returns -EAFNOSUPPORT if it doesn't
recognize the address family of the passed-in socket address. However,
the return type of this function is size_t, which means -EAFNOSUPPORT
is turned into a very large positive value in this case.
The check in svc_udp_recvfrom() to see if the return value is less
than zero therefore won't work at all.
Additionally, handle_connect_req() passes this value directly to
memset(). This could cause memset() to clobber a large chunk of memory
if svc_addr_len() has returned an error. Currently the address family
of these addresses, however, is known to be supported long before
handle_connect_req() is called, so this isn't a real risk.
Change the error return value of svc_addr_len() to zero, which fits in
the range of size_t, and is safer to pass to memset() directly.

This patch moves the transport sockaddr to the svc_xprt
structure. Convenience functions are added to set and
get the local and remote addresses of a transport from
the transport provider as well as determine the length
of a sockaddr.
A transport is responsible for setting the xpt_local
and xpt_remote addresses in the svc_xprt structure as
part of transport creation and xpo_accept processing. This
cannot be done in a generic way and in fact varies
between TCP, UDP and RDMA. A set of xpo_ functions
(e.g. getlocalname, getremotename) could have been
added but this would have resulted in additional
caching and copying of the addresses around. Note that
the xpt_local address should also be set on listening
endpoints; for TCP/RDMA this is done as part of
endpoint creation.
For connected transports like TCP and RDMA, the addresses
never change and can be set once and copied into the
rqstp structure for each request. For UDP, however, the
local and remote addresses may change for each request. In
this case, the address information is obtained from the
UDP recvmsg info and copied into the rqstp structure from
there.
A svc_xprt_local_port function was also added that returns
the local port given a transport. This is used by
svc_create_xprt when returning the port associated with
a newly created transport, and later when creating a
generic find transport service to check if a service is
already listening on a given port.

Previously, the accept logic looked into the socket state to determine
whether to call accept or recv when data-ready was indicated on an endpoint.
Since some transports don't use sockets, this logic now uses a flag
bit (SK_LISTENER) to identify listening endpoints. A transport function
(xpo_accept) allows each transport to define its own accept processing.
A transport's initialization logic is reponsible for setting the
SK_LISTENER bit. I didn't see any way to do this in transport independent
logic since the passive side of a UDP connection doesn't listen and
always recv's.
In the svc_recv function, if the SK_LISTENER bit is set, the transport
xpo_accept function is called to handle accept processing.
Note that all functions are defined even if they don't make sense
for a given transport. For example, accept doesn't mean anything for
UDP. The function is defined anyway and bug checks if called. The
UDP transport should never set the SK_LISTENER bit.

The transport class (svc_xprt_class) represents a type of transport, e.g.

operations kept in the svc_xprt_ops structure.
A transport class can be dynamically registered and unregisterd. The
svc_xprt_class represents the module that implements the transport
type and keeps reference counts on the module to avoid unloading while
there are active users.
The endpoint (svc_xprt) is a generic, transport independent endpoint that can
be used to send and receive data for an RPC service. It inherits it's
operations from the transport class.
A transport driver module registers and unregisters itself with svc sunrpc
by calling svc_reg_xprt_class, and svc_unreg_xprt_class respectively.
