sunrpc/cache: centralise handling of size limit on deferred list.
We limit the number of 'defer' requests to DFR_MAX.
The imposition of this limit is spread about a bit - sometime we don't
add new things to the list, sometimes we remove old things.
Also it is currently applied to requests which we are 'waiting' for
rather than 'deferring'. This doesn't seem ideal as 'waiting'
requests are naturally limited by the number of threads.
So gather the DFR_MAX handling code to one place and only apply it to
requests that are actually being deferred.
This means that not all 'cache_deferred_req' structures go on the

sunrpc: Simplify cache_defer_req and related functions.
The return value from cache_defer_req is somewhat confusing.
Various different error codes are returned, but the single caller is
only interested in success or failure.
In fact it can measure this success or failure itself by checking
CACHE_PENDING, which makes the point of the code more explicit.
So change cache_defer_req to return 'void' and test CACHE_PENDING
after it completes, to see if the request was actually deferred or
not.
Similarly setup_deferral and cache_wait_req don't need a return value,
so make them void and remove some code.
The call to cache_revisit_request (to guard against a race) is only
needed for the second call to setup_deferral, so move it out of
setup_deferral to after that second call. With the first call the
race is handled differently (by explicitly calling
'wait_for_completion').

reliable, so I reverted it.
That was throwing out the baby with the bathwater; we still do want to
return expired, but let's do that using the simpler approach of just
assuming any stateid is expired if it looks like it was given out by the
current server instance, but we can't find it any more.

set a flag, kick off a null call, and allow the null call to do the work

Use a spinlock to ensure the callback work gets a consistent view of the
callback parameters.
This allows, for example, changing the callback from contexts where
sleeping is not allowed. I hope it will also keep the locking simple as
we add more session and trunking features, by serializing most of the

sunrpc: fix race in new cache_wait code.
If we set up to wait for a cache item to be filled in, and then find
that it is no longer pending, it could be that some other thread is
in 'cache_revisit_request' and has moved our request to its 'pending' list.
So when our setup_deferral calls cache_revisit_request it will find nothing to
put on the pending list, and do nothing.
We then return from cache_wait_req, thus leaving the 'sleeper'
on-stack structure open to being corrupted by subsequent stack usage.
However that 'sleeper' could still be on the 'pending' list that the
other thread is looking at and so any corruption could cause it to behave badly.
To avoid this race we simply take the same path as if the
'wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout' was interrupted and if the
sleeper is no longer on the list (which it won't be) we wait on the
completion - which will ensure that any other cache_revisit_request
will have let go of the sleeper.

There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls
preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than
the total number of available non-highmem memory pages. If that's
the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn
can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation.
To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument
before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of
saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of
a hibernation image. Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to
allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by
preallocate_image_memory() is too low.

stall, memory allocation would stall because pages could not be
cleaned, and lock contention on the AIL during inode IO completion
processing was being seen to slow everything down even further.
By making the log Io completion workqueue a high priority workqueue,
they are queued ahead of all data/metadata IO completions and
processed before the data/metadata completions. Hence the log never
gets stalled, and operations needed to clean memory can continue as
quickly as possible. This avoids the livelock conditions and allos
the system to keep running under heavy load as per normal.

execve: make responsive to SIGKILL with large arguments
An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings
can take a really long time in the execve system call. It runs
uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings. This change
makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL.
Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for
SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending(). It would be perfectly
correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in
execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending().
We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible
consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that
an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.
