Chuck Lever 2ee368b447 NFSD: Fix nfsd4_shutdown_copy() 
[ Upstream commit 62a8642ba0 ]

nfsd4_shutdown_copy() is just this:

	while ((copy = nfsd4_get_copy(clp)) != NULL)
		nfsd4_stop_copy(copy);

nfsd4_get_copy() bumps @copy's reference count, preventing
nfsd4_stop_copy() from releasing @copy.

A while loop like this usually works by removing the first element
of the list, but neither nfsd4_get_copy() nor nfsd4_stop_copy()
alters the async_copies list.

Best I can tell, then, is that nfsd4_shutdown_copy() continues to
loop until other threads manage to remove all the items from this
list. The spinning loop blocks shutdown until these items are gone.

Possibly the reason we haven't seen this issue in the field is
because client_has_state() prevents __destroy_client() from calling
nfsd4_shutdown_copy() if there are any items on this list. In a
subsequent patch I plan to remove that restriction.

Fixes: e0639dc580 ("NFSD introduce async copy feature")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
