Subject: NFS: Add sequence_priviliged_ops for nfs4_proc_sequence()
From: Bryan Schumaker <[email protected]>
commit 6bdb5f213c4344324f600dde885f25768fbd14db upstream.
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.
