knfsd: nfsd: Handle ERESTARTSYS from syscalls.
OCFS2 can return -ERESTARTSYS from write requests (and possibly
elsewhere) if there is a signal pending.
If nfsd is shutdown (by sending a signal to each thread) while there
is still an IO load from the client, each thread could handle one last
request with a signal pending. This can result in -ERESTARTSYS
which is not understood by nfserrno() and so is reflected back to
the client as nfserr_io aka -EIO. This is wrong.
Instead, interpret ERESTARTSYS to mean "try again later" by returning
nfserr_jukebox. The client will resend and - if the server is
restarted - the write will (hopefully) be successful and everyone will
be happy.
The symptom that I narrowed down to this was:
copy a large file via NFS to an OCFS2 filesystem, and restart
the nfs server during the copy.
The 'cp' might get an -EIO, and the file will be corrupted -
presumably holes in the middle where writes appeared to fail.
