Chuck Lever 9c8ecb9308 Revert "NFSD: Reschedule CB operations when backchannel rpc_clnt is shut down"
The reverted commit attempted to enable NFSD to retransmit pending
callback operations if an NFS client disconnects, but
unintentionally introduces a hazardous behavior regression if the
client becomes permanently unreachable while callback operations are
still pending.

A disconnect can occur due to network partition or if the NFS server
needs to force the NFS client to retransmit (for example, if a GSS
window under-run occurs).

Reverting the commit will make NFSD behave the same as it did in
v6.8 and before. Pending callback operations are permanently lost if
the client connection is terminated before the client receives them.

For some callback operations, this loss is not harmful.

However, for CB_RECALL, the loss means a delegation might be revoked
unnecessarily. For CB_OFFLOAD, pending COPY operations will never
complete unless the NFS client subsequently sends an OFFLOAD_STATUS
operation, which the Linux NFS client does not currently implement.

These issues still need to be addressed somehow.

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.
