Fix a filelayout GETDEVICEINFO call hang triggered from the LAYOUTGET pnfs_layout_process where the GETDEVICEINFO call is waiting for a session slot, and the LAYOUGET call is waiting for pnfs_layout_process to complete before freeing the slot GETDEVICEINFO is waiting for.. This occurs in testing against the pynfs pNFS server where the the on-wire reply highest_slotid and slot id are zero, and the target high slot id is 8 (negotiated in CREATE_SESSION). The internal fore channel slot table max_slotid, the maximum allowed table slotid value, has been reduced via nfs41_set_max_slotid_locked from 8 to 1. Thus there is one slot (slotid 0) available for use but it has not been freed by LAYOUTGET proir to the GETDEVICEINFO request. In order to ensure that layoutrecall callbacks are processed in the correct order, nfs4_proc_layoutget processing needs to be finished e.g. pnfs_layout_process) before giving up the slot that identifies the layoutget (see referring_call_exists). Move the filelayout_check_layout nfs4_find_get_device call outside of the pnfs_layout_process call tree.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
