NFSD: Revert 6c41d9a9
For some reason, the wait_on_bit() in nfsd4_deleg_getattr_conflict() is waiting forever, preventing a clean server shutdown. The requesting client might also hang waiting for a reply to the conflicting GETATTR. Invoking wait_on_bit() in an nfsd thread context is a hazard. The correct fix is to replace this wait_on_bit() call site with a mechanism that defers the conflicting GETATTR until the CB_GETATTR completes or is known to have failed. That will require some surgery and extended testing and it's late in the v6.7-rc cycle, so I'm reverting now in favor of trying again in a subsequent kernel release. This is my fault: I should have recognized the ramifications of calling wait_on_bit() in here before accepting this patch. Thanks to Dai Ngo <dai.ngo@oracle.com> for diagnosing the issue.
