Subject: [RFC PATCH] SUNRPC: protect transport processing with rw sem

There could be a service transport, which is processed by service thread and
racing in the same time with per-net service shutdown like listed below:

CPU#0: CPU#1:

svc_recv svc_close_net
svc_get_next_xprt (list_del_init(xpt_ready))
svc_close_list (set XPT_BUSY and XPT_CLOSE)
svc_clear_pools(xprt was gained on CPU#0 already)
svc_delete_xprt (set XPT_DEAD)
svc_handle_xprt (is XPT_CLOSE => svc_delete_xprt()
BUG()

There could be different solutions of the problem.
Probably, the patch doesn't implement the best one, but I hope the simple one.
IOW, it protects critical section (dequeuing of pending transport and
enqueuing it back to the pool) by per-service rw semaphore, taken for read.
On per-net transports shutdown, this semaphore have to be taken for write.

It's actually per-thread (per-struct svc_rqst) here.

There's no down_write in this patch. Did you forget this part?

The server rpc code goes to some care not to write to any global
structure, to prevent server threads running on multiple cores from
bouncing cache lines between them.

But my understanding is that even down_read() does modify the semaphore.
So we might want something like the percpu semaphore describe in
Documentation/percpu-rw-semaphore.txt.
