Both lockd and (in the nfsv4 case) nfsd enforce a "grace period" after reboot,
during which clients may reclaim locks from the previous server instance, but
may not acquire new locks.
Currently the lockd and nfsd enforce grace periods of different lengths. This
may cause problems when we reboot a server with both v2/v3 and v4 clients.
For example, if the lockd grace period is shorter (as is likely the case),
then a v3 client might acquire a new lock that conflicts with a lock already
held (but not yet reclaimed) by a v4 client.
This patch calculates a lease time that lockd and nfsd can both use.

There's a clear subfunctionality of reconnecting a given dentry to the main
dentry tree in find_exported_dentry, that can be called both for the dentry
we're looking for or it's parent directory.
This patch splits the subfunctionality out into a separate helper to make the
code more readable and document it's intent. As a nice side-optimization we
can avoid getting a superfluous dentry reference count in the case we need to
reconnect a directory on it's own.

Currently NFSD calls directly into filesystems through the export_operations
structure. I plan to change this interface in various ways in later patches,
and want to avoid the export of the default operations to NFSD, so this patch
adds two simple exportfs_encode_fh/exportfs_decode_fh helpers for NFSD to call
instead of poking into exportfs guts.

When the exportfs interface was added the expectation was that filesystems
provide an operation to convert from a file handle to an inode/dentry, but it
kept a backwards compat option that still calls into iget.
Calling into iget from non-filesystem code is very bad, because it gives too
little information to filesystem, and simply crashes if the filesystem doesn't
implement the ->read_inode routine.
Fortunately there are only two filesystems left using this fallback: efs and
jfs. This patch moves a copy of export_iget to each of those to implement the
get_dentry method.
While this is a temporary increase of lines of code in the kernel it allows
for a much cleaner interface and important code restructuring in later
patches.

drivers/isdn/capi/capi.c:552: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
Of course, the code here might actually be buggy, in which case this patch
should not be applied?
Answer:
No this field is ignored inside linux kernel.Yes this is ugly, but it's
the CAPI spec for all OS.
CAPI DATA_B3 Request/Indication CAPI Message has a mandatory field which
represent the 32 bit buffer address of the payload data. In linux the
payload data do not use a sperate buffer, data follows directely after the
CAPI Message in the same skb and we use this assumption inside the drivers,
so we can ignore this field.
Inside the linux CAPI implemetation we never use this field, so it could
also have no value, but since random data in a message is bad as well (e.g.
displayed in CAPI traces) we set is to the most adequate value.
Outside the kernel the capi20 library sets the correct addresses (there is
an optional second field for 64 bit adresses for 64 bit systems, we do not
use here).

Pointed out by Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>.
The bug was introduced in 2.6.22 by me.
cleanup_workqueue_thread() does flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) in a loop until
->worklist becomes empty. This is live-lockable, a re-niced caller can get
CPU after wake_up() and insert a new barrier before the lower-priority
cwq->thread has a chance to clear ->current_work.
Change cleanup_workqueue_thread() to do flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) only once.
We can rely on the fact that run_workqueue() won't return until it flushes
all works. So it is safe to call kthread_stop() after that, the "should
stop" request won't be noticed until run_workqueue() returns.
