For most NFSv4.1 servers, a NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION error is a rare failure that indicates that the server has lost session/open/lock state. However, recent testing by cperciva@ against the AmazonEFS server found several problems with client recovery from this due to it generating this failure frequently. Briefly, the problems fixed are: - If all session slots were in use at the time of the failure, some processes would continue to loop waiting for a slot on the old session forever. - If an RPC that doesn't use open/lock state failed with NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION, it would fail the RPC/syscall instead of initiating recovery and then looping to retry the RPC. - If a successful reply to an RPC for an old session wasn't processed until after a new session was created for a NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION error, it would erroneously update the new session and corrupt it. - The use of the first element of the session list in the nfs mount structure (which is always the current metadata session) was slightly racey. With changes for the above problems it became more racey, so all uses of this head pointer was wrapped with a NFSLOCKMNT()/NFSUNLOCKMNT(). - Although the kernel malloc() usually allocates more bytes than requested and, as such, this wouldn't have caused problems, the allocation of a session structure was 1 byte smaller than it should have been. (Null termination byte for the string not included in byte count.) There are probably still problems with a pNFS data server that fails with NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION, but I have no server that does this to test against (the AmazonEFS server doesn't do pNFS), so I can't fix these yet. Although this patch is fairly large, it should only affect the handling of NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION error replies from an NFSv4.1 server. Thanks go to cperciva@ for the extension testing he did to help isolate/fix these problems.
