    NFS: Add sequence_priviliged_ops for nfs4_proc_sequence() · 6bdb5f21
    Bryan Schumaker authored
    If I mount an NFS v4.1 server to a single client multiple times and then
    run xfstests over each mountpoint I usually get the client into a state
    where recovery deadlocks.  The server informs the client of a
    cb_path_down sequence error, the client then does a
    bind_connection_to_session and checks the status of the lease.
    
    I found that bind_connection_to_session sets the NFS4_SESSION_DRAINING
    flag on the client, but this flag is never unset before
    nfs4_check_lease() reaches nfs4_proc_sequence().  This causes the client
    to deadlock, halting all NFS activity to the server.  nfs4_proc_sequence()
    is only called by the state manager, so I can change it to run in privileged
    mode to bypass the NFS4_SESSION_DRAINING check and avoid the deadlock.
