Olga Kornievskaia e0639dc580 NFSD introduce async copy feature
Upon receiving a request for async copy, create a new kthread.  If we
get asynchronous request, make sure to copy the needed arguments/state
from the stack before starting the copy. Then start the thread and reply
back to the client indicating copy is asynchronous.

nfsd_copy_file_range() will copy in a loop over the total number of
bytes is needed to copy. In case a failure happens in the middle, we
ignore the error and return how much we copied so far. Once done
creating a workitem for the callback workqueue and send CB_OFFLOAD with
the results.

The lifetime of the copy stateid is bound to the vfs copy. This way we
don't need to keep the nfsd_net structure for the callback.  We could
keep it around longer so that an OFFLOAD_STATUS that came late would
still get results, but clients should be able to deal without that.

We handle OFFLOAD_CANCEL by sending a signal to the copy thread and
calling kthread_stop.

A client should cancel any ongoing copies before calling DESTROY_CLIENT;
if not, we return a CLIENT_BUSY error.

If the client is destroyed for some other reason (lease expiration, or
server shutdown), we must clean up any ongoing copies ourselves.

README

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.
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.
