xs_create_sock() is supposed to return a pointer or an ERR_PTR-encoded
error, but it currently returns 0 if xs_bind() fails.

<title>SUNRPC: Close a race in __rpc_wait_for_completion_task()</title>

<id>bf294b41cefcb22fc3139e0f42c5b3f06728bd5e</id>
<content type='text'>
Although they run as rpciod background tasks, under normal operation
(i.e. no SIGKILL), functions like nfs_sillyrename(), nfs4_proc_unlck()
and nfs4_do_close() want to be fully synchronous. This means that when we
exit, we want all references to the rpc_task to be gone, and we want
any dentry references etc. held by that task to be released.

For this reason these functions call __rpc_wait_for_completion_task(),
followed by rpc_put_task() in the expectation that the latter will be
releasing the last reference to the rpc_task, and thus ensuring that the
callback_ops-&gt;rpc_release() has been called synchronously.

This patch fixes a race which exists due to the fact that
rpciod calls rpc_complete_task() (in order to wake up the callers of
__rpc_wait_for_completion_task()) and then subsequently calls
rpc_put_task() without ensuring that these two steps are done atomically.

In order to avoid adding new spin locks, the patch uses the existing
waitqueue spin lock to order the rpc_task reference count releases between
the waiting process and rpciod.
The common case where nobody is waiting for completion is optimised for by
checking if the RPC_TASK_ASYNC flag is cleared and/or if the rpc_task
reference count is 1: in those cases we drop trying to grab the spin lock,
and immediately free up the rpc_task.

Those few processes that need to put the rpc_task from inside an
asynchronous context and that do not care about ordering are given a new
helper: rpc_put_task_async().

The information required to find the nfs_client cooresponding to the incoming
back channel request is contained in the NFS layer. Perform minimal checking
in the RPC layer pg_authenticate method, and push more detailed checking into
the NFS layer where the nfs_client can be found.

* 'for-2.6.38' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux: (62 commits)
  nfsd4: fix callback restarting
  nfsd: break lease on unlink, link, and rename
  nfsd4: break lease on nfsd setattr
  nfsd: don't support msnfs export option
  nfsd4: initialize cb_per_client

  nfsd4: simplify nfsd4_cb_prepare
  nfsd4: give out delegations more quickly in 4.1 case
  nfsd4: add helper function to run callbacks
  nfsd4: make sure sequence flags are set after destroy_session
  nfsd4: re-probe callback on connection loss
  nfsd4: set sequence flag when backchannel is down
  nfsd4: keep finer-grained callback status
  rpc: allow xprt_class-&gt;setup to return a preexisting xprt
  rpc: keep backchannel xprt as long as server connection
  rpc: move sk_bc_xprt to svc_xprt
  nfsd4: allow backchannel recovery
  nfsd4: support BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION
  nfsd4: modify session list under cl_lock
  Documentation: fl_mylease no longer exists
  ...

Fix up conflicts in fs/nfsd/vfs.c with the vfs-scale work.  The
vfs-scale work touched some msnfs cases, and this merge removes support
for that entirely, so the conflict was trivial to resolve.

Multiple backchannels can share the same tcp connection; from rfc 5661 section
2.10.3.1:

	A connection's association with a session is not exclusive.  A
	connection associated with the channel(s) of one session may be
	simultaneously associated with the channel(s) of other sessions
	including sessions associated with other client IDs.

However, multiple backchannels share a connection, they must all share
the same xid stream (hence the same rpc_xprt); the only way we have to
match replies with calls at the rpc layer is using the xid.

So, keep the rpc_xprt around as long as the connection lasts, in case
we're asked to use the connection as a backchannel again.

Requests to create new backchannel clients over a given server
connection should results in creating new clients that reuse the
existing rpc_xprt.

But to start, just reject attempts to associate multiple rpc_xprt's with
the same underlying bc_xprt.

This seems obviously transport-level information even if it's currently
