Subject: [PATCH 3.16 168/357] nfs: fix nonblocking calls to nfs_page_group_lock

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

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


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

commit bc8a309e88a86205fc3e17f06e42a2e56fc6f807 upstream.

nfs_page_group_lock was calling wait_on_bit_lock even when told not to
block. Fix by first trying test_and_set_bit, followed by wait_on_bit_lock
if and only if blocking is allowed.  Return -EAGAIN if nonblocking and the
test_and_set of the bit was already locked.
