Subject: [PATCH 4.8 83/96] pNFS: Fix a deadlock between read resends and layoutreturn

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

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

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@...marydata.com>

commit 54e4a0dfa25d9365c4e80a639e80d9213eb6edbe upstream.

We must not call nfs_pageio_init_read() on a new nfs_pageio_descriptor
while holding a reference to a layout segment, as that can deadlock
pnfs_update_layout().

Fixes: d67ae825a59d6 ("pnfs/flexfiles: Add the FlexFile Layout Driver")
