[PATCH] NFS: Introduce the use of inode->i_lock to protect fields in nfsi
Down the road we want to eliminate the use of the global kernel lock entirely
from the NFS client. To do this, we need to protect the fields in the
nfs_inode structure adequately. Start by serializing updates to the
"cache_validity" field.
Note this change addresses an SMP hang found by njw@osdl.org, where processes
deadlock because nfs_end_data_update and nfs_revalidate_mapping update the
"cache_validity" field without proper serialization.
Test plan:
Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients. Run Nick Wilson's breaknfs program on
large SMP clients.
