NFS: don't let nfs_callback_svc exit on unexpected svc_recv errors (t…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
…ry #2)

When svc_recv returns an unexpected error, nfs_callback_svc will print a
warning and exit. This problematic for several reasons. In particular,
it will cause the reference counts for the thread to be wrong, and no
new thread will be started until all nfs4 mounts are unmounted.

Rather than exiting on error from svc_recv, have the thread do a 1s
sleep and then retry the loop. This is unlikely to cause any harm, and
if the error turns out to be something temporary then it may be able to
recover.
