2010-07-30nfsd: minor nfsd read api cleanupJ. Bruce Fields
Christoph points that the NFSv2/v3 callers know which case they want here, so we may as well just call the file=NULL case directly instead of making this conditional. Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
2010-03-22nfsd: don't break lease while servicing a COMMITJeff Layton
This is the second attempt to fix the problem whereby a COMMIT call causes a lease break and triggers a possible deadlock. The problem is that nfsd attempts to break a lease on a COMMIT call. This triggers a delegation recall if the lease is held for a delegation. If the client is the one holding the delegation and it's the same one on which it's issuing the COMMIT, then it can't return that delegation until the COMMIT is complete. But, nfsd won't complete the COMMIT until the delegation is returned. The client and server are essentially deadlocked until the state is marked bad (due to the client not responding on the callback channel). The first patch attempted to deal with this by eliminating the open of the file altogether and simply had nfsd_commit pass a NULL file pointer to the vfs_fsync_range. That would conflict with some work in progress by Christoph Hellwig to clean up the fsync interface, so this patch takes a different approach. This declares a new NFSD_MAY_NOT_BREAK_LEASE access flag that indicates to nfsd_open that it should not break any leases when opening the file, and has nfsd_commit set that flag on the nfsd_open call. For now, this patch leaves nfsd_commit opening the file with write access since I'm not clear on what sort of access would be more appropriate.

2009-12-15nfsd: move most of nfsfh.h to fs/nfsdJ. Bruce Fields
Most of this can be trivially moved to a private header as well. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2009-12-15nfsd: filter readdir results in V4ROOT caseJ. Bruce Fields
As with lookup, we treat every boject as a mountpoint and pretend it doesn't exist if it isn't exported. The preexisting code here is confusing, but I haven't yet figured out how to make it clearer. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2009-11-13nfsd: make fs/nfsd/vfs.h for common includesJ. Bruce Fields
None of this stuff is used outside nfsd, so move it out of the common linux include directory. Actually, probably none of the stuff in include/linux/nfsd/nfsd.h really belongs there, so later we may remove that file entirely. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
