[ Upstream commit 5a8a7ff57421b7de3ae72019938ffb5daaee36e7 ] Now that the network status notifiers use nlmsvc_serv rather then nlmsvc_rqst the management can be simplified. Notifier unregistration synchronises with any pending notifications so providing we unregister before nlm_serv is freed no further interlock is required. So we move the unregister call to just before the thread is killed (which destroys the service) and just before the service is destroyed in the failure-path of lockd_up(). Then nlm_ntf_refcnt and nlm_ntf_wq can be removed. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
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.
