This is the fourth respin of the patch to convert oplock breaks to use the slow_work facility. A customer of ours was testing a backport of one of the earlier patchsets, and hit a "Busy inodes after umount..." problem. An oplock break job had raced with a umount, and the superblock got torn down and its memory reused. When the oplock break job tried to dereference the inode->i_sb, the kernel oopsed. This patchset has the oplock break job hold an inode and vfsmount reference until the oplock break completes. With this, there should be no need to take a tcon reference (the vfsmount implicitly holds one already). Currently, when an oplock break comes in there's a chance that the oplock break job won't occur if the allocation of the oplock_q_entry fails. There are also some rather nasty races in the allocation and handling these structs. Rather than allocating oplock queue entries when an oplock break comes in, add a few extra fields to the cifsFileInfo struct. Get rid of the dedicated cifs_oplock_thread as well and queue the oplock break job to the slow_work thread pool. This approach also has the advantage that the oplock break jobs can potentially run in parallel rather than be serialized like they are today.
