nfsd4: fix hang on fast-booting nfs servers
The last_close field of a cache_detail is initialized to zero, so the condition detail->last_close < seconds_since_boot() - 30 may be false even for a cache that was never opened. However, we want to immediately fail upcalls to caches that were never opened: in the case of the auth_unix_gid cache, especially, which may never be opened by mountd (if the --manage-gids option is not set), we want to fail the upcall immediately. Otherwise client requests will be dropped unnecessarily on reboot. Also document these conditions. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
