NFSv4.1: Prevent deadlocks between state recovery and file locking
We currently have a deadlock in which the state recovery thread
ends up blocking due to one of the locks which it is trying to
recover holding the nfs_inode->rwsem.
The situation is as follows: the state recovery thread is
scheduled in order to recover from a reboot. It immediately
drains the session, forcing all ordinary NFSv4.1 calls to
nfs41_setup_sequence() to be put to sleep. This includes the
file locking process that holds the nfs_inode->rwsem.
When the thread gets to nfs4_reclaim_locks(), it tries to
grab a write lock on nfs_inode->rwsem, and boom...
Fix is to have the lock drop the nfs_inode->rwsem while it is
doing RPC calls. We use a sequence lock in order to signal to
the locking process whether or not a state recovery thread has
run on that inode, in which case it should retry the lock.
