Some messages sent by the MDS entail a session sequence number
increment, and the MDS will drop certain types of requests on the floor
when the sequence numbers don't match.
In particular, a REQUEST_CLOSE message can cross with one of the
sequence morphing messages from the MDS which can cause the client to
stall, waiting for a response that will never come.
Originally, this meant an up to 5s delay before the recurring workqueue
job kicked in and resent the request, but a recent change made it so
that the client would never resend, causing a 60s stall unmounting and
sometimes a blockisting event.
Add a new helper for incrementing the session sequence and then testing
to see whether a REQUEST_CLOSE needs to be resent, and move the handling
of CEPH_MDS_SESSION_CLOSING into that function. Change all of the
bare sequence counter increments to use the new helper.
Reorganize check_session_state with a switch statement. It should no
longer be called when the session is CLOSING, so throw a warning if it
ever is (but still handle that case sanely).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
