Bruce Fields suggested this (Thanks!):
maybe we need to be doing a mnt_want_write on open_upgrade and mnt_put_write on downgrade?

This patch adds a call to mnt_want_write and file_take_write (which is
doing the actual work).

The counter-calls mnt_drop_write a file_release_write are now being properly
called by drop_file_write_access in the exact path printed by the warning
above.

Make certain all transports pending free are flushed from the wq

Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>

When adapters have differing IRD limits, the RDMA transport will fail to
connect properly. The RDMA transport should use the client's advertised
inbound read limit when computing its outbound read limit. For iWARP
transports, there is currently no standard for exchanging IRD/ORD
during connection establishment so the 'responder_resources' field in the
connect event is the local device's limit. The RDMA transport can be
configured to use a smaller ORD by writing the desired number to the
/proc/sys/sunrpc/svc_rdma/max_outbound_read_requests file.

knfsd currently uses 2 signal masks when processing requests. A "loose"
mask (SHUTDOWN_SIGS) that it uses when receiving network requests, and
then a more "strict" mask (ALLOWED_SIGS, which is just SIGKILL) that it
allows when doing the actual operation on the local storage.

This is apparently unnecessarily complicated. The underlying filesystem
should be able to sanely handle a signal in the middle of an operation.
This patch removes the signal mask handling from knfsd altogether. When
knfsd is started as a kthread, all signals are ignored. It then allows
all of the signals in SHUTDOWN_SIGS. There's no need to set the mask
as well.

Thanks to Frank Van Maarseveen for the original problem report: "A
privileged process on an NFS client which drops privileges after using
them to change the current working directory, will experience incorrect
EACCES after an NFS server reboot. This problem can also occur after
memory pressure on the server, particularly when the client side is
quiet for some time."

This occurs because the filehandle points to a directory whose parents
are no longer in the dentry cache, and we're attempting to reconnect the
directory to its parents without adequate permissions to perform lookups
in the parent directories.

We can therefore fix the problem by acquiring the necessary capabilities
before attempting the reconnection.  We do this only in the
no_subtree_check case, since the documented behavior of the
subtree_check export option requires the server to check that the user
has lookup permissions on all parents.

The subtree_check case still has a problem, since reconnect_path()
unnecessarily requires both read and lookup permissions on all parent
directories.  However, a fix in that case would be more delicate, and
use of subtree_check is already discouraged for other reasons.

When I update kernel 2.6.25 from 2.6.24, gdb does not work.

But 2.6.24 kernel's ptrace() returns EIO.
It is issue of compatibility.

Vegard Nossum reported crashes during cpu hotplug tests:

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121413950227884&w=4

In function _cpu_up, the panic happens when calling
__raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time. Kernel doesn't panic when
calling it at the first time. If just say because of nr_cpu_ids, that's
not right.

By checking the source code, I found that function do_boot_cpu is the culprit.
Consider below call chain:
 _cpu_up=>__cpu_up=>smp_ops.cpu_up=>native_cpu_up=>do_boot_cpu.

So do_boot_cpu is called in the end. In do_boot_cpu, if
boot_error==true, cpu_clear(cpu, cpu_possible_map) is executed. So later
on, when _cpu_up calls __raw_notifier_call_chain at the second time to
report CPU_UP_CANCELED, because this cpu is already cleared from
cpu_possible_map, get_cpu_sysdev returns NULL.

Many resources are related to cpu_possible_map, so it's better not to
change it.

Below patch against 2.6.26-rc7 fixes it by removing the bit clearing in
cpu_possible_map.
