NFS: Treat ENETUNREACH errors as fatal in containers

Propagate the NFS_MOUNT_NETUNREACH_FATAL flag to work with the generic
NFS client. If the flag is set, the client will receive ENETDOWN and
ENETUNREACH errors from the RPC layer, and is expected to treat them as
being fatal.

SUNRPC: only put task on cl_tasks list after the RPC call slot is reserved.

Under heavy write load, we've seen the cl_tasks list grows to
millions of entries. Even though the list is extremely long,
the system still runs fine until the user wants to get the
information of all active RPC tasks by doing:

When this happens, tasks_start acquires the cl_lock to walk the
cl_tasks list, returning one entry at a time to the caller. The
cl_lock is held until all tasks on this list have been processed.

While the cl_lock is held, completed RPC tasks have to spin wait
in rpc_task_release_client for the cl_lock. If there are millions
of entries in the cl_tasks list it will take a long time before
tasks_stop is called and the cl_lock is released.

The spin wait tasks can use up all the available CPUs in the system,
preventing other jobs to run, this causes the system to temporarily
lock up.

This patch fixes this problem by delaying inserting the RPC
task on the cl_tasks list until the RPC call slot is reserved.
This limits the length of the cl_tasks to the number of call
slots available in the system.

SUNRPC: Fix RPC client cleaned up the freed pipefs dentries

RPC client pipefs dentries cleanup is in separated rpc_remove_pipedir()
workqueue,which takes care about pipefs superblock locking.
In some special scenarios, when kernel frees the pipefs sb of the
current client and immediately alloctes a new pipefs sb,
rpc_remove_pipedir function would misjudge the existence of pipefs
sb which is not the one it used to hold. As a result,
the rpc_remove_pipedir would clean the released freed pipefs dentries.

To fix this issue, rpc_remove_pipedir should check whether the
current pipefs sb is consistent with the original pipefs sb.

When we create a TCP transport, the connect timeout parameters are

case, where we may have multiple mirrors, and we would like to fail over
quickly to the next mirror if a data server is down.

This patch adds the ability to specify the connection parameters at RPC
client creation time.

NFSv4.1: fix handling of backchannel binding in BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION

Currently, if the client sends BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION with
NFS4_CDFC4_FORE_OR_BOTH but only gets NFS4_CDFS4_FORE back it ignores
that it wasn't able to enable a backchannel.

To make sure, the client sends BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION as the first
operation on the connections (ie., no other session compounds haven't
been sent before), and if the client's request to bind the backchannel
is not satisfied, then reset the connection and retry.

SUNRPC: defer slow parts of rpc_free_client() to a workqueue.

The rpciod workqueue is on the write-out path for freeing dirty memory,
so it is important that it never block waiting for memory to be
allocated - this can lead to a deadlock.

rpc_execute() - which is often called by an rpciod work item - calls
rcp_task_release_client() which can lead to rpc_free_client().

rpc_free_client() makes two calls which could potentially block wating
for memory allocation.

rpc_clnt_debugfs_unregister() calls into debugfs and will block while
any of the debugfs files are being accessed. In particular it can block
while any of the 'open' methods are being called and all of these use
malloc for one thing or another. So this can deadlock if the memory
allocation waits for NFS to complete some writes via rpciod.

rpc_clnt_remove_pipedir() can take the inode_lock() and while it isn't
obvious that memory allocations can happen while the lock it held, it is
safer to assume they might and to not let rpciod call
rpc_clnt_remove_pipedir().

So this patch moves these two calls (together with the final kfree() and
rpciod_down()) into a work-item to be run from the system work-queue.
rpciod can continue its important work, and the final stages of the free
can happen whenever they happen.

I have seen this deadlock on a 4.12 based kernel where debugfs used
synchronize_srcu() when removing objects. synchronize_srcu() requires a
workqueue and there were no free workther threads and none could be
allocated. While debugsfs no longer uses SRCU, I believe the deadlock
is still possible.

NFSv4.1: Don't rebind to the same source port when reconnecting to the server

NFSv2, v3 and NFSv4 servers often have duplicate replay caches that look
at the source port when deciding whether or not an RPC call is a replay
of a previous call. This requires clients to perform strange TCP gymnastics
in order to ensure that when they reconnect to the server, they bind
to the same source port.

NFSv4.1 and NFSv4.2 have sessions that provide proper replay semantics,
that do not look at the source port of the connection. This patch therefore
ensures they can ignore the rebind requirement.
