Subject: [PATCH 0/5] nfs_page_group_lock cleanup

These patches clean up some issues surrouding nfs_page_group_lock:

- normalize wait/nonblock argument
- make nonblocking calls really nonblocking
- handle errors
- ensure that we don't call blocking nfs_page_group_lock when holding the
inode spinlock

This cleanup was inspired by Fengguang Wu's report that we were sleeping with
locks held in nfs_lock_and_join_requests.

Weston Andros Adamson (5):
nfs: change nfs_page_group_lock argument
nfs: fix nonblocking calls to nfs_page_group_lock
nfs: use blocking page_group_lock in add_request
nfs: fix error handling in lock_and_join_requests
nfs: don't sleep with inode lock in lock_and_join_requests

Subject: [PATCH 3/5] nfs: use blocking page_group_lock in add_request

__nfs_pageio_add_request was calling nfs_page_group_lock nonblocking, but
this can return -EAGAIN which would end up passing -EIO to the application.

There is no reason not to block in this path, so change the two calls to
do so. Also, there is no need to check the return value of
nfs_page_group_lock when nonblock=false, so remove the error handling code.

Subject: [PATCH 1/5] nfs: change nfs_page_group_lock argument

Flip the meaning of the second argument from 'wait' to 'nonblock' to
match related functions. Update all five calls to reflect this change.

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] nfs: fix nonblocking calls to nfs_page_group_lock

nfs_page_group_lock was calling wait_on_bit_lock even when told not to
block. Fix by first trying test_and_set_bit, followed by wait_on_bit_lock
if and only if blocking is allowed. Return -EAGAIN if nonblocking and the
test_and_set of the bit was already locked.

This fixes handling of errors from nfs_page_group_lock in
nfs_lock_and_join_requests. It now releases the inode lock and the

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] nfs: don't sleep with inode lock in lock_and_join_requests

This handles the 'nonblock=false' case in nfs_lock_and_join_requests.
If the group is already locked and blocking is allowed, drop the inode lock
and wait for the group lock to be cleared before trying it all again.
This should fix warnings found in peterz's tree (sched/wait branch), where
might_sleep() checks are added to wait.[ch].
