[ 04/76] NFS: Remove bad delegations during open recovery

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bryan Schumaker <bjschuma@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6938867edba929a65a167a97581231e76aeb10b4 upstream.

I put the client into an open recovery loop by:
	Client: Open file
		read half
	Server: Expire client (echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/nfsd/forget_clients)
	Client: Drop vm cache (echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches)
		finish reading file

This causes a loop because the client never updates the nfs4_state after
discovering that the delegation is invalid.  This means it will keep
trying to read using the bad delegation rather than attempting to re-open
the file.
