nfsd4: remove state lock from nfs4_state_shutdown
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Protection of __nfs4_state_shutdown() with nfs4_lock_state() looks redundant.

This function is called by the last NFSd thread on it's exit and state lock
protects actually two functions (del_recall_lru is protected by recall_lock):
1) nfsd4_client_tracking_exit
2) __nfs4_state_shutdown_net

"nfsd4_client_tracking_exit" doesn't require state lock protection, because it's
state can be modified only by tracker callbacks.
Here a re they:
1) create: is called only from nfsd4_proc_compound.
2) remove: is called from either nfsd4_proc_compound or nfs4_laundromat.
3) check: is called only from nfsd4_proc_compound.
4) grace_done; called only from nfs4_laundromat.

nfsd4_proc_compound is called onll by NFSd kthread, which is exiting right
now.
nfs4_laundromat is called by laundry_wq. But laundromat_work was canceled
already.

"__nfs4_state_shutdown_net" also doesn't require state lock protection,
because all NFSd kthreads are dead, and no race can happen with NFSd start,
because "nfsd_up" flag is still set.
Moreover, all Nfsd shutdown is protected with global nfsd_mutex.
