Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk@kernel.org> reports that a heavy NFSv4 WRITE workload against a slow NFS server causes his Raspberry Pi clients to stall. Krzysztof bisected it to commit37ac86c3a7("SUNRPC: Initialize rpc_rqst outside of xprt->reserve_lock") . I was able to reproduce similar behavior and it appears that rarely the RPC client layer is re-allocating an XID for an RPC that it has already partially sent. This results in the client ignoring the subsequent reply, which carries the original XID. For various reasons, checking !req->rq_xmit_bytes_sent in xprt_prepare_transmit is not a 100% reliable mechanism for determining when a fresh XID is needed. Trond's preference is to allocate the XID at the time each rpc_rqst slot is initialized. This patch should also address a gcc 4.1.2 complaint reported by Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
