[PATCH 0/2] nfs: refactor bit operations using clear_and_wake_up_bit

[Arnaud Bonnet]

Several functions in nfs code use the exact following sequence of calls
when dealing with flags:
	
	clear_bit_unlock();
	smp_mb__after_atomic();
	wake_up_bit();

Since commit 8236b0ae31c8 ("bdi: wake up concurrent wb_shutdown()
callers.") came the helper clear_and_wake_up_bit() for this exact
purpose, and has since been adopted by several subsystems, including
vfs.

This function is already used in files such as nfs4state.c and
pnfs_nfs.c and this serie aims to continue this effort, which also
allows to remove some no longer used code.

Tested on x86 hardware using a loopback pNFS SCSI layout:
* doing image compression/decompression using xz and
* recompiling tinyconfig kernels on the remounted partition
No error reported under sanitizers.
