The root cause of the NFS hang we were observing appears to be a rare
deadlock between the kernel provided usermodehelper API and the linux NFS

generic linux work queues. The usermodehelper API run the specified user
application in the context of the work queue. And NFS submits both cleanup
and reconnect work to the generic work queue for handling. Normally this
is fine but a deadlock can result in the following situation.
- NFS client is in a disconnected state
- [events/0] runs a usermodehelper app with an NFS dependent operation,
this triggers an NFS reconnect.
- NFS reconnect happens to be submitted to [events/0] work queue.
- Deadlock, the [events/0] work queue will never process the
reconnect because it is blocked on the previous NFS dependent
operation which will not complete.`
The solution is simply to run reconnect requests on rpciod.

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered

pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.
I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.
So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,

Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().
In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

Make the RPC client select privileged ephemeral source ports at

same port when reconnecting for the same mount point, but using
a different port for fresh mounts.
The Linux TCP implementation already does this for nonprivileged

of a random ephemeral port number by leaving the port INUSE until

xprt_release, where each request is finally released. Add a callout

The next method we abstract is the one that releases a transport,
allowing another task to have access to the transport.
Again, one generic version of this is provided for transports that
don't need the RPC client to perform congestion control, and one
version is for transports that can use the original Van Jacobson
implementation in xprt.c.

The next several patches introduce an API that allows transports to
choose whether the RPC client provides congestion control or whether
the transport itself provides it.
The first method we abstract is the one that serializes access to the
RPC transport to prevent the bytes from different requests from mingling
together. This method provides proper request serialization and the
opportunity to prevent new requests from being started because the
transport is congested.
The normal situation is for the transport to handle congestion control
itself. Although NFS over UDP was first, it has been recognized after
years of experience that having the transport provide congestion control
is much better than doing it in the RPC client. Thus TCP, and probably
every future transport implementation, will use the default method,
xprt_lock_write, provided in xprt.c, which does not provide any kind
of congestion control. UDP can continue using the xprt.c-provided
Van Jacobson congestion avoidance implementation.

Prepare the way to remove the "xprt->nocong" variable by adding a callout
to the RPC client transport switch API to handle setting RPC retransmit
timeouts.
Add a pair of generic helper functions that provide the ability to set a
simple fixed timeout, or to set a timeout based on the state of a round-
trip estimator.

Split the RPC client's main socket write path into a TCP version and a UDP
version to eliminate another dependency on the "xprt->stream" variable.
