commit 0b760113a3a155269a3fba93a409c640031dd68f upstream.

If the NLM daemon is killed on the NFS server, we can currently end up
hanging forever on an 'unlock' request, instead of aborting. Basically,
if the rpcbind request fails, or the server keeps returning garbage, we
really want to quit instead of retrying.

<title>lockd: fix regression in lockd's handling of blocked locks</title>

commit 9d9b87c1218be78ddecbc85ec3bb91c79c1d56ab upstream.

If a client requests a blocking lock, is denied, then requests it again,
then here in nlmsvc_lock() we will call vfs_lock_file() without FL_SLEEP
set, because we've already queued a block and don't need the locks code
to do it again.

But that means vfs_lock_file() will return -EAGAIN instead of
FILE_LOCK_DENIED.  So we still need to translate that -EAGAIN return
into a nlm_lck_blocked error in this case, and put ourselves back on
lockd's block list.

The bug was introduced by bde74e4bc64415b1 "locks: add special return
value for asynchronous locks".

Thanks to Frank van Maarseveen for the report; his original test
case was essentially

	for i in `seq 30`; do flock /nfsmount/foo sleep 10 &amp; done

Use a special error value FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED to mean that a locking
operation returned asynchronously.  This is returned by

  posix_lock_file() for sleeping locks to mean that the lock has been
  queued on the block list, and will be woken up when it might become
  available and needs to be retried (either fl_lmops-&gt;fl_notify() is
  called or fl_wait is woken up).

  f_op-&gt;lock() to mean either the above, or that the filesystem will
  call back with fl_lmops-&gt;fl_grant() when the result of the locking
  operation is known.  The filesystem can do this for sleeping as well
  as non-sleeping locks.

This is to make sure, that return values of -EAGAIN and -EINPROGRESS by
filesystems are not mistaken to mean an asynchronous locking.

This also makes error handling in fs/locks.c and lockd/svclock.c slightly
cleaner.

Fix nlm_fopen() to return NLM_FAILED (or NLM_LCK_DENIED_NOLOCKS) instead
of NLM_LCK_DENIED.  The latter means the lock request failed because of a
conflicting lock (i.e.  a temporary error), which is wrong in this case.

Also fix the client to return ENOLCK instead of EAGAIN if a blocking lock
request returns with NLM_LOCK_DENIED.

Push it into those callback functions that actually need it.

Note that all the NFS operations use their own locking, so don't need the
BKL. Ditto for the rpcbind client.

fcntl(F_GETLK) on an nfs client incorrectly returns
the values for the conflicting lock. fl_len value is
always 1.
If the conflicting lock is (0, 4095) the F_GETLK
request for (1024, 10) returns (0, 1), which doesn't
even cover the requested range, and is quite confusing.
The fix is trivial, set fl_end from the fl_end value
recieved from the nfs server.

Pass a more generic socket address type to nlmsvc_unlock_all_by_ip() to
allow for future support of IPv6.  Also provide additional sanity
checking in failover_unlock_ip() when constructing the server's IP
address.

As an added bonus, provide clean kerneldoc comments on related NLM
interfaces which were recently added.
