      NFS: Fix a soft lockup in the delegation recovery code · 6f9449be
      Trond Myklebust authored
      Fix a soft lockup when NFS client delegation recovery is attempted
      but the inode is in the process of being freed. When the
      igrab(inode) call fails, and we have to restart the recovery process,
      we need to ensure that we won't attempt to recover the same delegation
      again.
      
      Fixes: 45870d69 ("NFSv4.1: Test delegation stateids when server...")

      NFSv4.1: Avoid false retries when RPC calls are interrupted · 3453d570
      Trond Myklebust authored
      A 'false retry' in NFSv4.1 occurs when the client attempts to transmit a
      new RPC call using a slot+sequence number combination that references an
      already cached one. Currently, the Linux NFS client will do this if a
      user process interrupts an RPC call that is in progress.
      The problem with doing so is that we defeat the main mechanism used by
      the server to differentiate between a new call and a replayed one. Even
      if the server is able to perfectly cache the arguments of the old call,
      it cannot know if the client intended to replay or send a new call.
      
      The obvious fix is to bump the sequence number pre-emptively if an
      RPC call is interrupted, but in order to deal with the corner cases
      where the interrupted call is not actually received and processed by
      the server, we need to interpret the error NFS4ERR_SEQ_MISORDERED
      as a sign that we need to either wait or locate a correct sequence
      number that lies between the value we sent, and the last value that
      was acked by a SEQUENCE call on that slot.
