    [PATCH] 2.5.25 Clean up RPC receive code · 1eedbd78
    Trond Myklebust authored
      Divorces task xid<->request slot mapping from the internals of the
    rpc_waitqueue xprt->pending. Instead xprt_lookup_rqst() is made to
    search a dedicated list (xprt->recv) on which the request slot is
    placed immediately after being allocated to a task. The new queue is
    protected using the spinlock xprt->sock_lock rather than the generic
    RPC task lock.
    
      Both udp_data_ready() and tcp_data_ready() (well tcp_read_request()
    actually) now need to protect against the request being removed from
    the xprt->recv list while they copy the RPC reply data from the skb.
    On the other hand, they no longer need to worry about the task
    disappearing from xprt->pending. This means that rpc_lock_task() hack
    can be replaced by the spinlock xprt->sock_lock.
