[PATCH v4 2/8] NFSD: Count the delegations held by each client

Message-ID <[email protected]>
struct nfs4_client records the delegations it holds on cl_delegations
but keeps no count of them. deleg_reaper() walks nn->client_lru under
nn->client_lock, but cl_delegations is serialized by nn->deleg_lock,
which nests outside nn->client_lock. A caller there cannot take
nn->deleg_lock to count the list. The cost tells against the walk as
well: an O(n) count per client, on a pass that already visits every
client.

Add cl_deleg_count, maintained at the two sites that mutate
cl_delegations. Both hold nn->deleg_lock, so the counter is already
serialized against itself and needs no atomic of its own. The decrement
sits below the delegation_hashed() test, next to the list_del_init it
pairs with, so it runs only when the delegation really leaves the list.

A reader that holds only nn->client_lock is not synchronized against
either update site, so it can see a count that does not match the
list. Such a reader marks the access with data_race() and may not
depend on the value for correctness.

No functional change.
