[RFC PATCH 2/7] NFSD: Limit the number of concurrent async COPY operations

[cel@xxxxxxxxxx]

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx>

Nothing appears to limit the number of concurrent async COPY
operations that clients can start. In addition, AFAICT each async
COPY can copy an unlimited number of 4MB chunks, so can run for a
long time. Thus IMO async COPY can become a DoS vector.

Add a restriction mechanism that bounds the number of concurrent
background COPY operations. Start simple and try to be fair -- this
patch implements a per-namespace limit.

An async COPY request that occurs while this limit is exceeded gets
NFS4ERR_DELAY. The requesting client can choose to send the request
again after a delay or fall back to a traditional read/write style
copy.

If there is need to make the mechanism more sophisticated, we can
visit that in future patches.
