nfsd: treat all shutdown signals as equivalent
knfsd currently uses 2 signal masks when processing requests. A "loose" mask (SHUTDOWN_SIGS) that it uses when receiving network requests, and then a more "strict" mask (ALLOWED_SIGS, which is just SIGKILL) that it allows when doing the actual operation on the local storage. This is apparently unnecessarily complicated. The underlying filesystem should be able to sanely handle a signal in the middle of an operation. This patch removes the signal mask handling from knfsd altogether. When knfsd is started as a kthread, all signals are ignored. It then allows all of the signals in SHUTDOWN_SIGS. There's no need to set the mask as well. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
