Trond Myklebust b6bc6d20e0 NFSv4: Fix a potential sleep while atomic in nfs4_do_reclaim()
[ Upstream commit c77e22834ae9a11891cb613bd9a551be1b94f2bc ]

John Hubbard reports seeing the following stack trace:

nfs4_do_reclaim
   rcu_read_lock /* we are now in_atomic() and must not sleep */
       nfs4_purge_state_owners
           nfs4_free_state_owner
               nfs4_destroy_seqid_counter
                   rpc_destroy_wait_queue
                       cancel_delayed_work_sync
                           __cancel_work_timer
                               __flush_work
                                   start_flush_work
                                       might_sleep:
                                        (kernel/workqueue.c:2975: BUG)

The solution is to separate out the freeing of the state owners
from nfs4_purge_state_owners(), and perform that outside the atomic
context.

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.
