The TEST_STATEID and FREE_STATEID operations can return
-NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID, -NFS4ERR_OLD_STATEID, or -NFS4ERR_DEADSESSION.

nfs41_{test,free}_stateid() should not pass these errors to
nfs4_handle_exception() during state recovery, since that will
recursively kick off state recovery again, resulting in a deadlock.

In particular, when the TEST_STATEID operation returns NFS4_OK,
res.status can contain one of these errors.  _nfs41_test_stateid()
replaces NFS4_OK with the value in res.status, which is then returned
to callers.

But res.status is not passed through nfs4_stat_to_errno(), and thus is
a positive NFS4ERR value.  Currently callers are only interested in
!NFS4_OK, and nfs4_handle_exception() ignores positive values.

Thus the res.status values are currently ignored by
nfs4_handle_exception() and won't cause the deadlock above.  Thanks to
this missing negative, it is only when these operations fail (which
is very rare) that a deadlock can occur.

Bryan agrees the original intent was to return res.status as a
negative NFS4ERR value to callers of nfs41_test_stateid().

mark_matching_lsegs_invalid() resets the mds_threshold counters and can
dereference the layout hdr on an initial empty plh_segs list. It returns 0 both
in the case of an initial empty list and in a non-emtpy list that was cleared
by calls to mark_lseg_invalid.

Don't send a LAYOUTRETURN if the list was initially empty.

When the file layout driver is fencing a DS, _pnfs_return_layout can be

copy_tree() can theoretically fail in a case other than ENOMEM, but always
returns NULL which is interpreted by callers as -ENOMEM.  Change it to return
an explicit error.

Also change clone_mnt() for consistency and because union mounts will add new
error cases.

Add a helper that abstracts out the jump to an already parsed struct path
from ->follow_link operation from procfs.  Not only does this clean up
the code by moving the two sides of this game into a single helper, but

Currently the non-nd_set_link based versions of ->follow_link are expected
to do a path_put(&nd->path) on failure.  This calling convention is unexpected,
undocumented and doesn't match what the nd_set_link-based instances do.

Move the path_put out of the only non-nd_set_link based ->follow_link
instance into the caller.

all callers want the same thing, actually - a kinda-sorta analog of
kern_path_create().  I.e. they want parent vfsmount/dentry (with
->i_mutex held, to make sure the child dentry is still their child)

Since commit 197e37d9, the banner comment on lookup_open() no longer matches
what the function returns.  It used to return a struct file pointer or NULL and
now it returns an integer and is passed the struct file pointer it is to use
amongst its arguments.  Update the comment to reflect this.
