fsdevel experts TL;DR: patch 8/8 is the only one that touches the
VFS. The other patches prepare NFSD for 8/8.
Attempt to address occasional reports of test failures caused by
NFSv4 OPEN(CREATE) failing internally only after the target file
object has already been created.
The basic approach is to re-organize the NFSv4 OPEN code path so
that common failure modes occur /before/ the call to vfs_create()
rather than afterwards. In addition, the local file is opened and
created atomically so that another client can't race and de-permit
that file just after it is created but before the server has opened
it.
This series was posted a few weeks ago as an RFC. Since then, Red
Hat QE has used a Lustre racer-based reproducer to confirm that
the issue is not reproducible. Therefore I'd like to include this
series in the NFSD 5.19 pull request.
