The rpc server tries to ensure that there will be room to send a reply
before it receives a request.

It does this by tracking, in xpt_reserved, an upper bound on the total
size of the replies that is has already committed to for the socket.

Currently it is adding in the estimate for a new reply *before* it
checks whether there is space available.  If it finds that there is not
space, it then subtracts the estimate back out.

This may lead the subsequent svc_xprt_enqueue to decide that there is
space after all.

The results is a svc_recv() that will repeatedly return -EAGAIN, causing
server threads to loop without doing any actual work.

<title>svcrpc: sends on closed socket should stop immediately</title>

svc_tcp_sendto sets XPT_CLOSE if we fail to transmit the entire reply.
However, the XPT_CLOSE won't be acted on immediately.  Meanwhile other
threads could send further replies before the socket is really shut
down.  This can manifest as data corruption: for example, if a truncated
read reply is followed by another rpc reply, that second reply will look
to the client like further read data.

Symptoms were data corruption preceded by svc_tcp_sendto logging
something like

	kernel: rpc-srv/tcp: nfsd: sent only 963696 when sending 1048708 bytes - shutting down socket

<title>svcrpc: fix BUG() in svc_tcp_clear_pages</title>

Examination of svc_tcp_clear_pages shows that it assumes sk_tcplen is
consistent with sk_pages[] (in particular, sk_pages[n] can't be NULL if
sk_tcplen would lead us to expect n pages of data).

svc_tcp_restore_pages zeroes out sk_pages[] while leaving sk_tcplen.
This is OK, since both functions are serialized by XPT_BUSY.  However,
that means the inconsistency must be repaired before dropping XPT_BUSY.

Therefore we should be ensuring that svc_tcp_save_pages repairs the
problem before exiting svc_tcp_recv_record on error.

Symptoms were a BUG() in svc_tcp_clear_pages.

Implement the new swapfile a_ops for NFS and hook up -&gt;direct_IO.  This
will set the NFS socket to SOCK_MEMALLOC and run socket reconnect under
PF_MEMALLOC as well as reset SOCK_MEMALLOC before engaging the protocol
-&gt;connect() method.

PF_MEMALLOC should allow the allocation of struct socket and related
objects and the early (re)setting of SOCK_MEMALLOC should allow us to
receive the packets required for the TCP connection buildup.

Without this patch kernel will panic on LockD start, because lockd_up() checks
lockd_up_net() result for negative value.
From my pow it's better to return negative value from rpcbind routines instead
of replacing all such checks like in lockd_up().

rpciod is trying to allocate memory for a new socket to talk to the
server. The VM ends up calling -&gt;releasepage to get more memory, and it
tries to do a blocking commit. That commit can't succeed however without
a connected socket, so we deadlock.

Fix this by setting PF_FSTRANS on the workqueue task prior to doing the
socket allocation, and having nfs_release_page check for that flag when
deciding whether to do a commit call. Also, set PF_FSTRANS
unconditionally in rpc_async_schedule since that function can also do
allocations sometimes.
