40859d7ee6 NFS: support large reads and writes on the wire
Most NFS server implementations allow up to 64KB reads and writes on the
 wire.  The Solaris NFS server allows up to a megabyte, for instance.

 Now the Linux NFS client supports transfer sizes up to 1MB, too.  This will
 help reduce protocol and context switch overhead on read/write intensive NFS
 workloads, and support larger atomic read and write operations on servers
 that support them.

 Test-plan:
 Connectathon and iozone on mount point with wsize=rsize>32768 over TCP.
 Tests with NFS over UDP to verify the maximum RPC payload size cap.

963d8fe533 RPC: Clean up RPC task structure
Shrink the RPC task structure. Instead of storing separate pointers
 for task->tk_exit and task->tk_release, put them in a structure.

 Also pass the user data pointer as a parameter instead of passing it via
 task->tk_calldata. This enables us to nest callbacks.

d530838bfa NFSv4: Fix problem with OPEN_DOWNGRADE
RFC 3530 states that for OPEN_DOWNGRADE "The share_access and share_deny
 bits specified must be exactly equal to the union of the share_access and
 share_deny bits specified for some subset of the OPENs in effect for
 current openowner on the current file.

 Setattr is currently violating the NFSv4 rules for OPEN_DOWNGRADE in that
 it may cause a downgrade from OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_BOTH to
 OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE despite the fact that there exists no open file
 with O_WRONLY access mode.

 Fix the problem by replacing nfs4_find_state() with a modified version of
 nfs_find_open_context().

10d2c46f94 [PATCH] NFS: fix client oops when debugging is on
nfs_readpage_release() causes an oops while accessing a file with NFS
debugging turned on (echo 32767 > /proc/sys/sunrpc/nfs_debug) and a kernel
built with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB.

This patch moves the debugging statement above nfs_release_request() to
avoid accessing freed memory.

dc59250c6e [PATCH] NFS: Introduce the use of inode->i_lock to protect fields in nfsi
Down the road we want to eliminate the use of the global kernel lock entirely
from the NFS client.  To do this, we need to protect the fields in the
nfs_inode structure adequately.  Start by serializing updates to the
"cache_validity" field.

Note this change addresses an SMP hang found by njw@osdl.org, where processes
deadlock because nfs_end_data_update and nfs_revalidate_mapping update the
"cache_validity" field without proper serialization.

Test plan:
 Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.  Run Nick Wilson's breaknfs program on
 large SMP clients.

5529680981 [PATCH] NFS: split nfsi->flags into two fields
Certain bits in nfsi->flags can be manipulated with atomic bitops, and some
are better manipulated via logical bitmask operations.

This patch splits the flags field into two.  The next patch introduces atomic
bitops for one of the fields.

Test plan:
 Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.

c6a556b88a [PATCH] NFS: Make searching and waiting on busy writeback requests more efficient.
Basically copies the VFS's method for tracking writebacks and applies
 it to the struct nfs_page.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
