The in-kernel portmapper does not require a reserved port for making

Tens of runs of the Connectathon locking suite with TCP and UDP
against several other NFS server implementations using NFSv3,
not NFSv4 (which doesn't require rpcbind).

Implement a best practice: don't use exponential backoff when computing
retransmit timeout values on TCP connections, but simply retransmit
at regular intervals.
This also fixes a bug introduced when xprt_reset_majortimeo() was added.

Implement a best practice: for soft mounts, an rpcbind timeout should
cause an RPC request to fail.
This also provides an FSM hook for retrying an rpcbind with a different
rpcbind protocol version. We'll use this later to try multiple rpcbind
protocol versions when binding. To enable this, expose the RPC error
code returned during a portmap request to the FSM so it can make some
decision about how to report, retry, or fail the request.

The sunrpc stats are collected in unsigned integers, but they are printed
with '%d'. That can result in negative numbers in /proc/net/rpc when the
highest bit of a counter is set. The following patch changes '%d' to '%u'
where appropriate.

When registering an RPC cache, cache_register() always sets the owner as the
sunrpc module. However, there are RPC caches owned by other modules. With
the incorrect owner setting, the real owning module can be removed potentially
with an open reference to the cache from userspace.
For example, if one were to stop the nfs server and unmount the nfsd
filesystem, the nfsd module could be removed eventhough rpc.idmapd had
references to the idtoname and nametoid caches (i.e.
/proc/net/rpc/nfs4.<cachename>/channel is still open). This resulted in a
system panic on one of our machines when attempting to restart the nfs
services after reloading the nfsd module.
The following patch adds a 'struct module *owner' field in struct
cache_detail. The owner is further assigned to the struct proc_dir_entry
in cache_register() so that the module cannot be unloaded while user-space
daemons have an open reference on the associated file under /proc.

Since the patch to add a NULL short-circuit to crypto_free_tfm() went in,
there's no longer any need for callers of that function to check for NULL.
This patch removes the redundant NULL checks and also a few similar checks
for NULL before calls to kfree() that I ran into while doing the
crypto_free_tfm bits.
I've succesfuly compile tested this patch, and a kernel with the patch
applied boots and runs just fine.
When I posted the patch to LKML (and other lists/people on Cc) it drew the
following comments :

"I've no problem with the auth_gss or nfsv4 bits.--b."

1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:
frozen(process) Check for frozen process
freezing(process) Check if a process is being frozen
freeze(process) Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
thaw_process(process) Restart process
frozen_process(process) Process is frozen now
2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
kernel sources except sched.h
3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver
4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.
5. Some whitespace cleanup
6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
PF_FROZEN).
This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

rpc_create_client was modified recently to do its own (synchronous) NULL ping
of the server. We'd rather do that on our own, asynchronously, so that we
don't have to block the nfsd thread doing the probe, and so that setclientid
handling (hence, client mounts) can proceed normally whether the callback is
succesful or not. (We can still function fine without the callback
channel--we just won't be able to give out delegations till it's verified to
work.)

Make the socket transport kick the event queue to start socket connects
immediately. This should improve responsiveness of applications that are

the connect worker is even allowed to run.

I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
university students again. The documentation could be extended for more
sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.
I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.
You can see result of the modified documentation build at
http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz
Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more
section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
cleanup work.
