Subject: pNFS: Fix a hang in nfs4_evict_inode()
From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit f63955721a8020e979b99cc417dcb6da3106aa24 upstream.
We are not allowed to call pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() without
also holding a reference to the layout header, since doing so could lead
to the reference count going to zero when we call
pnfs_layout_remove_lseg(). This again can lead to a hang when we get to
nfs4_evict_inode() and are unable to clear the layout pointer.
pnfs_layout_return_unused_byserver() is guilty of this behaviour, and
has been seen to trigger the refcount warning prior to a hang.
