When rpc.statd starts up in user space at boot time, it attempts to write the latest NSM local state number into /proc/sys/fs/nfs/nsm_local_state. If lockd.ko isn't loaded yet (as is the case in most configurations), that file doesn't exist, thus the kernel's NSM state remains set to its initial value of zero during lockd operation. This is a problem because rpc.statd and lockd use the NSM state number to prevent repeated lock recovery on rebooted hosts. If lockd sends a zero NSM state, but then a delayed SM_NOTIFY with a real NSM state number is received, there is no way for lockd or rpc.statd to distinguish that stale SM_NOTIFY from an actual reboot. Thus lock recovery could be performed after the rebooted host has already started reclaiming locks, and those locks will be lost. We could change /etc/init.d/nfslock so it always modprobes lockd.ko before starting rpc.statd. However, if lockd.ko is ever unloaded and reloaded, we are back at square one, since the NSM state is not preserved across an unload/reload cycle. This may happen frequently on clients that use automounter. A period of NFS inactivity causes lockd.ko to be unloaded, and the kernel loses its NSM state setting. Instead, let's use the fact that rpc.statd plants the local system's NSM state in every SM_MON (and SM_UNMON) reply. lockd performs a synchronous SM_MON upcall to the local rpc.statd _before_ sending its first NLM request to a new remote. This would permit rpc.statd to provide the current NSM state to lockd, even after lockd.ko had been unloaded and reloaded. Note that NLMPROC_LOCK arguments are constructed before the nsm_monitor() call, so we have to rearrange argument construction very slightly to make this all work out. And, the kernel appears to treat NSM state as a u32 (see struct nlm_args and nsm_res). Make nsm_local_state a u32 as well, to ensure we don't get bogus comparison results.
