As reported by David Jeffery: "a signal was sent to lockd while lockd
was shutting down from a request to stop nfs.  The signal causes lockd
to call restart_grace() which puts the lockd_net structure on the grace
list.  If this signal is received at the wrong time, it will occur after
lockd_down_net() has called locks_end_grace() but before
lockd_down_net() stops the lockd thread.  This leads to lockd putting
the lockd_net structure back on the grace list, then exiting without
anything removing it from the list."

So, perform the final locks_end_grace() from the the lockd thread; this
ensures it's serialized with respect to restart_grace().

A null check followed by a return is being performed already, so block
is always non-null at the second check on block, hence we can remove
this redundant null-check (Detected by PVS-Studio).  Also re-work
comment to clean up a check-patch warning.

<title>lockd: Introduce nlmclnt_operations</title>

NFS would enjoy the ability to modify the behavior of the NLM client's
unlock RPC task in order to delay the transmission of the unlock until IO
that was submitted under that lock has completed.  This ability can ensure
that the NLM client will always complete the transmission of an unlock even
if the waiting caller has been interrupted with fatal signal.

For this purpose, a pointer to a struct nlmclnt_operations can be assigned
in a nfs_module's nfs_rpc_ops that will install those nlmclnt_operations on
the nlm_host.  The struct nlmclnt_operations defines three callback
operations that will be used in a following patch:

nlmclnt_alloc_call - used to call back after a successful allocation of
	a struct nlm_rqst in nlmclnt_proc().

nlmclnt_unlock_prepare - used to call back during NLM unlock's
	rpc_call_prepare.  The NLM client defers calling rpc_call_start()
	until this callback returns false.

nlmclnt_release_call - used to call back when the NLM client's struct
	nlm_rqst is freed.

We are going to split &lt;linux/sched/signal.h&gt; out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/signal.h&gt; file that just
maps to &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

<title>netns: make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned int</title>

<id>c7d03a00b56fc23c3a01a8353789ad257363e281</id>
<content type='text'>
Make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned.

There are 2 reasons to do so:

1)
This field is really an index into an zero based array and
thus is unsigned entity. Using negative value is out-of-bound
access by definition.

2)
On x86_64 unsigned 32-bit data which are mixed with pointers
via array indexing or offsets added or subtracted to pointers
are preffered to signed 32-bit data.

"int" being used as an array index needs to be sign-extended
to 64-bit before being used.

	void f(long *p, int i)
	{
		g(p[i]);
	}

  roughly translates to

	movsx	rsi, esi
	mov	rdi, [rsi+...]
	call 	g

MOVSX is 3 byte instruction which isn't necessary if the variable is
unsigned because x86_64 is zero extending by default.

Now, there is net_generic() function which, you guessed it right, uses
"int" as an array index:

	static inline void *net_generic(const struct net *net, int id)
	{
		...
		ptr = ng-&gt;ptr[id - 1];
		...
	}

And this function is used a lot, so those sign extensions add up.

Patch snipes ~1730 bytes on allyesconfig kernel (without all junk
messing with code generation):

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)

Unfortunately some functions actually grow bigger.
This is a semmingly random artefact of code generation with register
allocator being used differently. gcc decides that some variable
needs to live in new r8+ registers and every access now requires REX
prefix. Or it is shifted into r12, so [r12+0] addressing mode has to be
used which is longer than [r8]

However, overall balance is in negative direction:

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)

<title>treewide: remove redundant #include &lt;linux/kconfig.h&gt;</title>

Kernel source files need not include &lt;linux/kconfig.h&gt; explicitly
because the top Makefile forces to include it with:

  -include $(srctree)/include/linux/kconfig.h

This commit removes explicit includes except the following:

  * arch/s390/include/asm/facilities_src.h
  * tools/testing/radix-tree/linux/kernel.h

These two are used for host programs.

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "Assorted cleanups and fixes.

  Probably the most interesting part long-term is -&gt;d_init() - that will
  have a bunch of followups in (at least) ceph and lustre, but we'll
  need to sort the barrier-related rules before it can get used for
  really non-trivial stuff.

  Another fun thing is the merge of -&gt;d_iput() callers (dentry_iput()
  and dentry_unlink_inode()) and a bunch of -&gt;d_compare() ones (all
  except the one in __d_lookup_lru())"

* 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (26 commits)
  fs/dcache.c: avoid soft-lockup in dput()
  vfs: new d_init method
  vfs: Update lookup_dcache() comment
  bdev: get rid of -&gt;bd_inodes
  Remove last traces of -&gt;sync_page
  new helper: d_same_name()
  dentry_cmp(): use lockless_dereference() instead of smp_read_barrier_depends()
  vfs: clean up documentation
  vfs: document -&gt;d_real()

  ufs: get rid of redundant checks

  file_inode(f)-&gt;i_mapping is f-&gt;f_mapping

<title>lockd: unregister notifier blocks if the service fails to come up completely</title>

If the lockd service fails to start up then we need to be sure that the
notifier blocks are not registered, otherwise a subsequent start of the
service could cause the same notifier to be registered twice, leading to
soft lockups.
