Benjamin Coddington b1ece737f4 lockd: Introduce nlmclnt_operations
NFS would enjoy the ability to modify the behavior of the NLM client's
unlock RPC task in order to delay the transmission of the unlock until IO
that was submitted under that lock has completed.  This ability can ensure
that the NLM client will always complete the transmission of an unlock even
if the waiting caller has been interrupted with fatal signal.

For this purpose, a pointer to a struct nlmclnt_operations can be assigned
in a nfs_module's nfs_rpc_ops that will install those nlmclnt_operations on
the nlm_host.  The struct nlmclnt_operations defines three callback
operations that will be used in a following patch:

nlmclnt_alloc_call - used to call back after a successful allocation of
	a struct nlm_rqst in nlmclnt_proc().

nlmclnt_unlock_prepare - used to call back during NLM unlock's
	rpc_call_prepare.  The NLM client defers calling rpc_call_start()
	until this callback returns false.

nlmclnt_release_call - used to call back when the NLM client's struct
	nlm_rqst is freed.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
