Subject: [PATCH 3.16 169/357] nfs: use blocking page_group_lock in add_request

3.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Weston Andros Adamson <dros@...marydata.com>

commit bfd484a5606d6a0379a0a2f04251b1e5c1f8995c upstream.

__nfs_pageio_add_request was calling nfs_page_group_lock nonblocking, but
this can return -EAGAIN which would end up passing -EIO to the application.

There is no reason not to block in this path, so change the two calls to
do so. Also, there is no need to check the return value of
nfs_page_group_lock when nonblock=false, so remove the error handling code.
