SUNRPC xptrdma: simplify build configuration
Trond and Bruce,
This is a patch for 2.6.25. This is the same version that was sent out
on December 12 for review (no comments to date).
To simplify the RPC/RDMA client and server build configuration, make
SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA a hidden config option that continues to depend on
SUNRPC and INFINIBAND. The value of SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA will be:
- N if either SUNRPC or INFINIBAND are N
- M if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are on (M or Y) and at least one is M
- Y if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are Y
In 2.6.25, all of the RPC/RDMA related files are grouped in
net/sunrpc/xprtrdma and the net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/Makefile builds both
the client and server RPC/RDMA support using this config option.

NFS: Fix a potential file corruption issue when writing
If the inode is flagged as having an invalid mapping, then we can't rely on
the PageUptodate() flag. Ensure that we don't use the "anti-fragmentation"
write optimisation in nfs_updatepage(), since that will cause NFS to write
out areas of the page that are no longer guaranteed to be up to date.
A potential corruption could occur in the following scenario:
client 1 client 2
=============== ===============
fd=open("f",O_CREAT|O_WRONLY,0644);
write(fd,"fubar\n",6); // cache last page
close(fd);
fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND);
write(fd,"foo\n",4);
close(fd);
fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND);
write(fd,"bar\n",4);
close(fd);
-----
The bug may lead to the file "f" reading 'fubar\n\0\0\0\nbar\n' because
client 2 does not update the cached page after re-opening the file for
write. Instead it keeps it marked as PageUptodate() until someone calls
invaldate_inode_pages2() (typically by calling read()).
