Actually implement multiple pools.  On NUMA machines, allocate a svc_pool per
NUMA node; on SMP a svc_pool per CPU; otherwise a single global pool.  Enqueue
sockets on the svc_pool corresponding to the CPU on which the socket bh is run
(i.e.  the NIC interrupt CPU).  Threads have their cpu mask set to limit them
to the CPUs in the svc_pool that owns them.

This is the patch that allows an Altix to scale NFS traffic linearly
beyond 4 CPUs and 4 NICs.

Incorporates changes and feedback from Neil Brown, Trond Myklebust, and
Christoph Hellwig.

Split out the list of idle threads and pending sockets from svc_serv into a
new svc_pool structure, and allocate a fixed number (in this patch, 1) of
pools per svc_serv.  The new structure contains a lock which takes over
several of the duties of svc_serv->sv_lock, which is now relegated to
protecting only sv_tempsocks, sv_permsocks, and sv_tmpcnt in svc_serv.

The point is to move the hottest fields out of svc_serv and into svc_pool,
allowing a following patch to arrange for a svc_pool per NUMA node or per CPU.
 This is a major step towards making the NFS server NUMA-friendly.

Following are 11 patches from Greg Banks which combine to make knfsd more
Numa-aware.  They reduce hitting on 'global' data structures, and create some
data-structures that can be node-local.

knfsd threads are bound to a particular node, and the thread to handle a new
request is chosen from the threads that are attach to the node that received
the interrupt.

The distribution of threads across nodes can be controlled by a new file in
the 'nfsd' filesystem, though the default approach of an even spread is
probably fine for most sites.

Some (old) numbers that show the efficacy of these patches: N == number of
NICs == number of CPUs == nmber of clients.  Number of NUMA nodes == N/2

N	Throughput, MiB/s	CPU usage, % (max=N*100)
	Before	After		Before	After
	---	------	----		-----	-----
	4	312	435		350	228
	6	500	656		501	418
	8	562	804		690	589

This patch:

Move the aging of RPC/TCP connection sockets from the main svc_recv() loop to
a timer which uses a mark-and-sweep algorithm every 6 minutes.  This reduces
the amount of work that needs to be done in the main RPC loop and the length
of time we need to hold the (effectively global) svc_serv->sv_lock.

If lockd_up fails - what should we expect?  Do we have to later call
lockd_down?

Well the nfs client thinks "no", the nfs server thinks "yes".  lockd thinks
"yes".

The only answer that really makes sense is "no" !!

So:
  Make lockd_up only increment  nlmsvc_users on success.
  Make nfsd handle errors from lockd_up properly.
  Make sure lockd_up(0) never fails when lockd is running
    so that the 'reclaimer' call to lockd_up doesn't need to
    be error checked.

We have an array 'nfsd_version' which lists the available versions of nfsd,
and 'nfsd_versions' (poor choice there :-() which lists the currently active
versions.

Then we have a bitmap - nfsd_versbits which says which versions are wanted.
The bits in this bitset cause content to be copied from nfsd_version to
nfsd_versions when nfsd starts.

This patch removes nfsd_versbits and moves information directly from
nfsd_version to nfsd_versions when requests for version changes arrive.

Note that this doesn't make it possible to change versions while the server is
running.  This is because serv->sv_xdrsize is calculated when a service is
created, and used when threads are created, and xdrsize depends on the active
versions.

Currently lockd listens on UDP always, and TCP if CONFIG_NFSD_TCP is set.

However as lockd performs services of the client as well, this is a problem.
If CONFIG_NfSD_TCP is not set, and a tcp mount is used, the server will not be
able to call back to lockd.

So:
 - add an option to lockd_up saying which protocol is needed
 - Always open sockets for which an explicit port was given, otherwise
   only open a socket of the type required
 - Change nfsd to do one lockd_up per socket rather than one per thread.

This
 - removes the dependancy on CONFIG_NFSD_TCP
 - means that lockd may open sockets other than at startup
 - means that lockd will *not* listen on UDP if the only
   mounts are TCP mount (and nfsd hasn't started).

The latter is the only one that concerns me at all - I don't know if this
might be a problem with some servers.

A simple module to test Linux Kernel Dump mechanism.  This module uses
jprobes to install/activate pre-defined crash points.  At different crash
points, various types of crashing scenarios are created like a BUG(),
panic(), exception, recursive loop and stack overflow.  The user can
activate a crash point with specific type by providing parameters at the
time of module insertion.  Please see the file header for usage
information.  The module is based on the Linux Kernel Dump Test Tool by
Fernando <http://lkdtt.sourceforge.net>.

This module could be merged with mainline. Jprobes is used here so that the
context in which crash point is hit, could be maintained. This implements
all the crash points as done by LKDTT except the one in the middle of
tasklet_action().

In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that:

o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe.
  The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an
  architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have
  to specify the ".symbols"
o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to
  specify an offset into a symbol.
o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported.
  However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified,
  probe registration fails with an -EINVAL.
o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So
  CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS
o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of
  the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution
  happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig
o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it
  work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't
  work, say, on powerpc)
