For NFSv4 minor version 0, currently the cl_id_uniquifier allows the
Linux client to generate a unique nfs_client_id4 string whenever a
server replies with NFS4ERR_CLID_INUSE.
This implementation seems to be based on a flawed reading of RFC
3530. NFS4ERR_CLID_INUSE actually means that the client has presented
this nfs_client_id4 string with a different principal at some time in
the past, and that lease is still in use on the server.
For a Linux client this might be rather difficult to achieve: the
authentication flavor is named right in the nfs_client_id4.id
string. If we change flavors, we change strings automatically.
So, practically speaking, NFS4ERR_CLID_INUSE means there is some other
client using our string. There is not much that can be done to
recover automatically. Let's make it a permanent error.
Remove the recovery logic in nfs4_proc_setclientid(), and remove the
cl_id_uniquifier field from the nfs_client data structure. And,
remove the authentication flavor from the nfs_client_id4 string.
Keeping the authentication flavor in the nfs_client_id4.id string
means that we could have a separate lease for each authentication
flavor used by mounts on the client. But we want just one lease for
all the mounts on this client.

NFSv4 state recovery is not always successful. Failure is signalled
by setting the nfs_client.cl_cons_state to a negative (errno) value,
then waking waiters.
Currently this can happen only during mount processing. I'm about to
add an explicit case where state recovery failure during normal
operation should force all NFS requests waiting on that state recovery
to exit.

The gss_mech_list_pseudoflavors() function provides a list of
currently registered GSS pseudoflavors. This list does not include
any non-GSS flavors that have been registered with the RPC client.
nfs4_find_root_sec() currently adds these extra flavors by hand.
Instead, nfs4_find_root_sec() should be looking at the set of flavors
that have been explicitly registered via rpcauth_register(). And,
other areas of code will soon need the same kind of list that
contains all flavors the kernel currently knows about (see below).
Rather than cloning the open-coded logic in nfs4_find_root_sec() to
those new places, introduce a generic RPC function that generates a
full list of registered auth flavors and pseudoflavors.
A new rpc_authops method is added that lists a flavor's
pseudoflavors, if it has any. I encountered an interesting module
loader loop when I tried to get the RPC client to invoke
gss_mech_list_pseudoflavors() by name.
This patch is a pre-requisite for server trunking discovery, and a
pre-requisite for fixing up the in-kernel mount client to do better
automatic security flavor selection.

Clean up: Instead of open-coded flag manipulation, use test_bit() and

This also eliminates several unnecessary implicit integer type

The "state->flags & flags" test in nfs41_check_expired_stateid()
allows the state manager to squelch a TEST_STATEID operation when
it is known for sure that a state ID is no longer valid. If the
lease was purged, for example, the client already knows that state
ID is now defunct.
But open recovery is still needed for that inode.
To force a call to nfs4_open_expired(), change the default return
value for nfs41_check_expired_stateid() to force open recovery, and
the default return value for nfs41_check_locks() to force lock
recovery, if the requested flags are clear. Fix suggested by Bryan
Schumaker.
Also, the presence of a delegation state ID must not prevent normal
open recovery. The delegation state ID must be cleared if it was
revoked, but once cleared I don't think it's presence or absence has
any bearing on whether open recovery is still needed. So the logic
is adjusted to ignore the TEST_STATEID result for the delegation
state ID.

The result of a TEST_STATEID operation can indicate a few different
things:
o If NFS_OK is returned, then the client can continue using the
state ID under test, and skip recovery.
o RFC 5661 says that if the state ID was revoked, then the client
must perform an explicit FREE_STATEID before trying to re-open.
o If the server doesn't recognize the state ID at all, then no
FREE_STATEID is needed, and the client can immediately continue
with open recovery.
Let's err on the side of caution: if the server clearly tells us the
state ID is unknown, we skip the FREE_STATEID. For any other error,
we issue a FREE_STATEID. Sometimes that FREE_STATEID will be
unnecessary, but leaving unused state IDs on the server needlessly
ties up resources.

The TEST_STATEID and FREE_STATEID operations can return
-NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID, -NFS4ERR_OLD_STATEID, or -NFS4ERR_DEADSESSION.
nfs41_{test,free}_stateid() should not pass these errors to
nfs4_handle_exception() during state recovery, since that will
recursively kick off state recovery again, resulting in a deadlock.
In particular, when the TEST_STATEID operation returns NFS4_OK,
res.status can contain one of these errors. _nfs41_test_stateid()
replaces NFS4_OK with the value in res.status, which is then returned
to callers.
But res.status is not passed through nfs4_stat_to_errno(), and thus is
a positive NFS4ERR value. Currently callers are only interested in
!NFS4_OK, and nfs4_handle_exception() ignores positive values.
Thus the res.status values are currently ignored by
nfs4_handle_exception() and won't cause the deadlock above. Thanks to
this missing negative, it is only when these operations fail (which
is very rare) that a deadlock can occur.
Bryan agrees the original intent was to return res.status as a
negative NFS4ERR value to callers of nfs41_test_stateid().

Also change clone_mnt() for consistency and because union mounts will add new
