nfsd4: remove state lock from nfs4_state_shutdown
Protection of __nfs4_state_shutdown() with nfs4_lock_state() looks redundant. This function is called by the last NFSd thread on it's exit and state lock protects actually two functions (del_recall_lru is protected by recall_lock): 1) nfsd4_client_tracking_exit 2) __nfs4_state_shutdown_net "nfsd4_client_tracking_exit" doesn't require state lock protection, because it's state can be modified only by tracker callbacks. Here a re they: 1) create: is called only from nfsd4_proc_compound. 2) remove: is called from either nfsd4_proc_compound or nfs4_laundromat. 3) check: is called only from nfsd4_proc_compound. 4) grace_done; called only from nfs4_laundromat. nfsd4_proc_compound is called onll by NFSd kthread, which is exiting right now. nfs4_laundromat is called by laundry_wq. But laundromat_work was canceled already. "__nfs4_state_shutdown_net" also doesn't require state lock protection, because all NFSd kthreads are dead, and no race can happen with NFSd start, because "nfsd_up" flag is still set. Moreover, all Nfsd shutdown is protected with global nfsd_mutex. Signed-off-by: Stanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
