The commit 4ada539ed7 lead to the unpleasant
possibility of an asynchronous rpc_task being required to call
rpciod_down() when it is complete. This again means that the rpciod
workqueue may get to call destroy_workqueue on itself -> hang...
Change rpciod_up/rpciod_down to just get/put the module, and then
create/destroy the workqueues on module load/unload.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f22 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.
This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

Currently rpc_malloc sets req->rq_buffer internally. Make this a more
generic interface: return a pointer to the new buffer (or NULL) and
make the caller set req->rq_buffer and req->rq_bufsize. This looks much
more like kmalloc and eliminates the side effects.
To fix a potential deadlock, this patch also replaces GFP_NOFS with
GFP_NOWAIT in rpc_malloc. This prevents async RPCs from sleeping outside
the RPC's task scheduler while allocating their buffer.

Use RCU to ensure that we can safely call rpc_finish_wakeup after we've
called __rpc_do_wake_up_task. If not, there is a theoretical race, in which
the rpc_task finishes executing, and gets freed first.
Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
The sunrpc scheduler contains a race condition that can let an RPC
task end up being neither running nor on any wait queue. The race takes
place between rpc_make_runnable (called from rpc_wake_up_task) and
__rpc_execute under the following condition:
First __rpc_execute calls tk_action which puts the task on some wait
queue. The task is dequeued by another process before __rpc_execute
continues its execution. While executing rpc_make_runnable exactly after
setting the task `running' bit and before clearing the `queued' bit
__rpc_execute picks up execution, clears `running' and subsequently
both functions fall through, both under the false assumption somebody
else took the job.
Swapping rpc_test_and_set_running with rpc_clear_queued in
rpc_make_runnable fixes that hole. This introduces another possible
race condition that can be handled by checking for `queued' after
setting the `running' bit.
Bug noticed on a 4-way x86_64 system under XEN with an NFSv4 server
on the same physical machine, apparently one of the few ways to hit
this race condition at all.

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).

Add RPC client transport switch support for replacing buffer management
on a per-transport basis.
In the current IPv4 socket transport implementation, RPC buffers are
allocated as needed for each RPC message that is sent. Some transport
implementations may choose to use pre-allocated buffers for encoding,
sending, receiving, and unmarshalling RPC messages, however. For
transports capable of direct data placement, the buffers can be carved
out of a pre-registered area of memory rather than from a slab cache.
Test-plan:

"iozone". Use oprofile and other tools to look for significant regression
in CPU utilization.

The NFSv4 model requires us to complete all RPC calls that might
establish state on the server whether or not the user wants to
interrupt it. We may also need to schedule new work (including
new RPC calls) in order to cancel the new state.
The asynchronous RPC model will allow us to ensure that RPC calls
always complete, but in order to allow for "synchronous" RPC, we
want to add the ability to wait for completion.
The waits are, of course, interruptible.
