[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: initialize recovery directory
NFSv4 clients are required to know what state they have on the server so that they can reclaim it on server reboot. However, it is possible for pathalogical combinations of server reboots and network partitions to leave a client in a state where it cannot know whether it has lost its state on the server. For this reason, rfc3530 requires that we store some information about clients to stable storage. So we maintain a directory /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery with a subdirectory for each client with active state. We leave open the possibility of including files underneath each such subdirectory with information about the client, but for now the subdirectories are empty. We create a client subdirectory whenever a client makes its first non-reclaim open_confirm. We remove a client subdirectory whenever either a) its lease expires, or b) the grace period ends without it reclaiming anything. When handling reclaims, we allow the reclaim if and only if the client doing the reclaim has a subdirectory. This patch adds just the code to scan the recovery directory on nfsd startup.
