The 'queue->nr' will wraparound from 0 to 255 when only current
priority queue has tasks. 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. When non-privileged task complete and release
the slot, a non-privileged maybe picked out. It maybe allocate slot
failed when the session on draining.
If the 'queue->nr' has wraparound to 255, and no enough slot to
service it, then the privileged delegreturn will lost to wake up.
So we should avoid the wraparound on 'queue->nr'.

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.
