7c1d71cf56 SUNRPC: Don't disconnect more than once if retransmitting NFSv4 requests
NFSv4 requires us to ensure that we break the TCP connection before we're
allowed to retransmit a request. However in the case where we're
retransmitting several requests that have been sent on the same
connection, we need to ensure that we don't interfere with the attempt to
reconnect and/or break the connection again once it has been established.

We therefore introduce a 'connection' cookie that is bumped every time a
connection is broken. This allows requests to track if they need to force a
disconnection.

b6ddf64ffe SUNRPC: Fix up xprt_write_space()
The rest of the networking layer uses SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE to signal whether
or not we have someone waiting for buffer memory. Convert the SUNRPC layer
to use the same idiom.
Remove the unlikely()s in xs_udp_write_space and xs_tcp_write_space. In
fact, the most common case will be that there is nobody waiting for buffer
space.

SOCK_NOSPACE is there to tell the TCP layer whether or not the cwnd was
limited by the application window. Ensure that we follow the same idiom as
the rest of the networking layer here too.

Finally, ensure that we clear SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE once we wake up, so that
write_space() doesn't keep waking things up on xprt->pending.

b454ae9060 SUNRPC: fewer conditionals in the format_ip_address routines
Clean up: have the set up routines explicitly pass the strings to be used

and dependencies on rpc_xprt.prot, which is overloaded.

Tighten up type checking on the address_strings array while we're at it.

c5a4dd8b7c SUNRPC: Eliminate side effects from rpc_malloc
Currently rpc_malloc sets req->rq_buffer internally.  Make this a more
generic interface:  return a pointer to the new buffer (or NULL) and
make the caller set req->rq_buffer and req->rq_bufsize.  This looks much
more like kmalloc and eliminates the side effects.

To fix a potential deadlock, this patch also replaces GFP_NOFS with
GFP_NOWAIT in rpc_malloc.  This prevents async RPCs from sleeping outside
the RPC's task scheduler while allocating their buffer.

2bea90d43a SUNRPC: RPC buffer size estimates are too large
The RPC buffer size estimation logic in net/sunrpc/clnt.c always
significantly overestimates the requirements for the buffer size.
A little instrumentation demonstrated that in fact rpc_malloc was never
allocating the buffer from the mempool, but almost always called kmalloc.

To compute the size of the RPC buffer more precisely, split p_bufsiz into
two fields; one for the argument size, and one for the result size.

Then, compute the sum of the exact call and reply header sizes, and split
the RPC buffer precisely between the two.  That should keep almost all RPC
buffers within the 2KiB buffer mempool limit.

And, we can finally be rid of RPC_SLACK_SPACE!

 out of a pre-registered area of memory rather than from a slab cache.

ead5e1c26f SUNRPC: Provide a callback to allow free pages allocated during xdr encoding
For privacy, we need to allocate pages to store the encrypted data (passed
 in pages can't be used without the risk of corrupting data in the page cache).
 So we need a way to free that memory after the request has been transmitted.

5e5ce5be6f RPC: allow call_encode() to delay transmission of an RPC call.
Currently, call_encode will cause the entire RPC call to abort if it returns
 an error. This is unnecessarily rigid, and gets in the way of attempts
 to allow the NFSv4 layer to order RPC calls that carry sequence ids.
