2009-06-17NFS: add XDR decoder for mountd version 3 auth-flavor listsChuck Lever
Introduce an xdr_stream-based XDR decoder that can unpack the auth- flavor list returned in a MNT3 reply. The nfs_mount() function's caller allocates an array, and passes the size and a pointer to it. The decoder decodes all the flavors it can into the array, and returns the number of decoded flavors. If the caller is not interested in the auth flavors, it can pass a value of zero as the size of the pre-allocated array.

2009-06-17NFS: add new file handle decoders to in-kernel mountd clientChuck Lever

2009-06-17NFS: Add separate mountd status code decoders for each mountd versionChuck Lever
Introduce data structures and xdr_stream-based decoding functions for unmarshalling mountd status codes properly. Mountd version 3 uses specific standard error return codes that are not errno values and not NFS3ERR_ values. These have a well-defined standard mapping to local errno values. Introduce data structures and a decoder function that map these status codes to local errno values properly. This is new functionality (but not used yet). Version 1 mountd status values are defined by RFC 1094 as UNIX error values (errno values). Errno values on heterogeneous systems do not necessarily match each other. To avoid exposing possibly incorrect errno values to upper layers, the current XDR decoder converts all non-zero MNT version 1 status codes to -EACCES. The OpenGroup XNFS standard provides a mapping similar to but smaller than the version 3 error codes. Implement a decoder that uses the XNFS error codes, replacing the current decoder. For both mountd protocol versions, map unrecognized errors to -EACCES. Finally we introduce a replacement data structure for mnt_fhstatus at this time, which is used by the new XDR decoders. In addition to documenting that the status value returned by the XDR decoders is always an errno, this new structure will be expanded in subsequent patches.

Clear "ret" if the error return from svc_create_xprt(AF_INET6) was -EAFNOSUPORT. Otherwise, callback start-up will succeed, but nfs_callback_up() will return -EAFNOSUPPORT anyway, and the first NFSv4 mount attempt after a reboot will fail.

2009-06-17NFS: add support for splice writesSuresh Jayaraman
Adds support for splice writes. It effectively calls generic_file_splice_write() to do the writes. We need not worry about O_APPEND case as the combination of splice() writes and O_APPEND is disallowed. This patch propagates NFS write errors back to the caller. The number of bytes written via splice are being added to NFSIO_NORMALWRITTENBYTES as these are effectively cached writes.

2009-06-17NFSv4: Handle more errors when recovering open file and locking stateTrond Myklebust
It is possible for servers to return NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID when the state management code is recovering locks or is reclaiming state when returning a delegation. Ensure that we handle that case. While we're at it, add in handlers for NFS4ERR_STALE, NFS4ERR_ADMIN_REVOKED, NFS4ERR_OPENMODE, NFS4ERR_DENIED and NFS4ERR_STALE_STATEID, since the protocol appears to allow for them too. Also handle ENOMEM... Finally, rather than add new NFSv4.0-specific errors and error handling into the generic delegation code, move that open file and locking state error handling into the NFSv4 layer.

2009-06-16remove put_cpu_no_resched()Thomas Gleixner
put_cpu_no_resched() is an optimization of put_cpu() which unfortunately can cause high latencies. The nfs iostats code uses put_cpu_no_resched() in a code sequence where a reschedule request caused by an interrupt between the get_cpu() and the put_cpu_no_resched() can delay the reschedule for at least HZ. The other users of put_cpu_no_resched() optimize correctly in interrupt code, but there is no real harm in using the put_cpu() function which is an alias for preempt_enable(). The extra check of the preemmpt count is not as critical as the potential source of missing a reschedule. Debugged in the preempt-rt tree and verified in mainline.

2009-04-03NFS: Add mount options to enable local caching on NFSDavid Howells
Add NFS mount options to allow the local caching support to be enabled. The attached patch makes it possible for the NFS filesystem to be told to make use of the network filesystem local caching service (FS-Cache). To be able to use this, a recent nfsutils package is required. There are three variant NFS mount options that can be added to a mount command to control caching for a mount. Only the last one specified takes effect: (*) Adding "fsc" will request caching. (*) Adding "fsc=<string>" will request caching and also specify a uniquifier. (*) Adding "nofsc" will disable caching. For example: mount warthog:/ /a -o fsc The cache of a particular superblock (NFS FSID) will be shared between all mounts of that volume, provided they have the same connection parameters and are not marked 'nosharecache'. Where it is otherwise impossible to distinguish superblocks because all the parameters are identical, but the 'nosharecache' option is supplied, a uniquifying string must be supplied, else only the first mount will be permitted to use the cache. If there's a key collision, then the second mount will disable caching and give a warning into the kernel log.

2009-04-03NFS: Define and create inode-level cache objectsDavid Howells
Define and create inode-level cache data storage objects (as managed by nfs_inode structs). Each inode-level object is created in a superblock-level index object and is itself a data storage object into which pages from the inode are stored. The inode object key is the NFS file handle for the inode. The inode object is given coherency data to carry in the auxiliary data permitted by the cache. This is a sequence made up of: (1) i_mtime from the NFS inode. (2) i_ctime from the NFS inode. (3) i_size from the NFS inode. (4) change_attr from the NFSv4 attribute data. As the cache is a persistent cache, the auxiliary data is checked when a new NFS in-memory inode is set up that matches an already existing data storage object in the cache. If the coherency data is the same, the on-disk object is retained and used; if not, it is scrapped and a new one created.

Define and create superblock-level cache index objects (as managed by nfs_server structs). Each superblock object is created in a server level index object and is itself an index into which inode-level objects are inserted. Ideally there would be one superblock-level object per server, and the former would be folded into the latter; however, since the "nosharecache" option exists this isn't possible. The superblock object key is a sequence consisting of: (1) Certain superblock s_flags. (2) Various connection parameters that serve to distinguish superblocks for sget(). (3) The volume FSID. (4) The security flavour. (5) The uniquifier length. (6) The uniquifier text. This is normally an empty string, unless the fsc=xyz mount option was used to explicitly specify a uniquifier. The key blob is of variable length, depending on the length of (6). The superblock object is given no coherency data to carry in the auxiliary data permitted by the cache. It is assumed that the superblock is always coherent. This patch also adds uniquification handling such that two otherwise identical superblocks, at least one of which is marked "nosharecache", won't end up trying to share the on-disk cache. It will be possible to manually provide a uniquifier through a mount option with a later patch to avoid the error otherwise produced.

2009-03-31proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::ownerAlexey Dobriyan
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>
2009-03-28NFS: Simplify logic to compare socket addresses in client.cChuck Lever
Callback requests from IPv4 servers are now always guaranteed to be AF_INET, and never mapped IPv4 AF_INET6 addresses. Both nfs_match_client() and nfs_find_client() can now share the same address comparison logic, so fold them together. We can also dispense with of most of the conditional compilation in here.
