This might be worth another sentence or two. I believe the references
are:
- 1 reference as long as a delegation is still in force (taken
when it's alloc'd, put when it's returned or revoked)
- 1 reference as long as a recall rpc is in progress (taken when
the lease is broken, put when the rpc exits.
- 1 more ephemeral reference for each nfsd thread currently
doing something with that delegation without holding
cl_lock?
(By the way, I wonder if that list_for_each_entry() at the end of
nfsd4_process_cb_update actually does anything: hasn't
nfsd4_cb_recall_release() already run and removed any delegation from
the cl_callbacks list? I may just be forgetting how this works.)
