[ Upstream commit67f4b5dc49] Currently, when the writeback code detects a server reboot, it redirties any pages that were not committed to disk, and it sets the flag NFS_CONTEXT_RESEND_WRITES in the nfs_open_context of the file descriptor that dirtied the file. While this allows the file descriptor in question to redrive its own writes, it violates the fsync() requirement that we should be synchronising all writes to disk. While the problem is infrequent, we do see corner cases where an untimely server reboot causes the fsync() call to abandon its attempt to sync data to disk and causing data corruption issues due to missed error conditions or similar. In order to tighted up the client's ability to deal with this situation without introducing livelocks, add a counter that records the number of times pages are redirtied due to a server reboot-like condition, and use that in fsync() to redrive the sync to disk.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
