      sunrpc: fix possible overrun on read of /proc/sys/sunrpc/transports · 27df6f25

David Wagner added (among other things) that copy_to_user could be
probably used here.

Ingo Oeser suggested to use simple_read_from_buffer() here.

The conclusion is that proc_do_xprt doesn't check for userside buffer
size indeed so fix this by using Ingo's suggestion.

      nfsd: fix compound state allocation error handling · c228c24b
      Andy Adamson authored 
      Move the cstate_alloc call so that if it fails, the response is setup to
encode the NFS error. The out label now means that the
nfsd4_compound_state has not been allocated.

      svcrdma: Fix race between svc_rdma_recvfrom thread and the dto_tasklet · 24b8b447
      Tom Tucker authored 
      RDMA_READ completions are kept on a separate queue from the general
I/O request queue. Since a separate lock is used to protect the RDMA_READ
completion queue, a race exists between the dto_tasklet and the
svc_rdma_recvfrom thread where the dto_tasklet sets the XPT_DATA
bit and adds I/O to the read-completion queue. Concurrently, the
recvfrom thread checks the generic queue, finds it empty and resets
the XPT_DATA bit. A subsequent svc_xprt_enqueue will fail to enqueue
the transport for I/O and cause the transport to "stall".

The fix is to protect both lists with the same lock and set the XPT_DATA
bit with this lock held.
