[ Upstream commit d057cfec4940ce6eeffa22b4a71dec203b06cd55 ] nfsd currently maintains an open-coded read/write semaphore (refcount and wait queue) for each network namespace to ensure the nfs service isn't shut down while the notifier is running. This is excessive. As there is unlikely to be contention between notifiers and they run without sleeping, a single spinlock is sufficient to avoid problems.

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.
