commit 5483b904bf336948826594610af4c9bbb0d9e3aa upstream. When find a task from wait queue to wake up, a non-privileged task may be found out, rather than the privileged. This maybe lead a deadlock same as commit dfe1fe75e00e ("NFSv4: Fix deadlock between nfs4_evict_inode() and nfs4_opendata_get_inode()"): Privileged delegreturn task is queued to privileged list because all the slots are assigned. If there has no enough slot to wake up the non-privileged batch tasks(session less than 8 slot), then the privileged delegreturn task maybe lost waked up because the found out task can't get slot since the session is on draining. So we should treate the privileged task as the emergency task, and execute it as for as we can.

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.
