2007-07-31knfsd: eliminate unnecessary -ENOENT returns on export downcallsJ. Bruce Fields
A succesful downcall with a negative result (which indicates that the given filesystem is not exported to the given user) should not return an error. Currently mountd is depending on stdio to write these downcalls. With some versions of libc this appears to cause subsequent writes to attempt to write all accumulated data (for which writes previously failed) along with any new data. This can prevent the kernel from seeing responses to later downcalls. Symptoms will be that nfsd fails to respond to certain requests. Signed-off-by: "J.

2007-07-31knfsd: set the response bitmask for NFS4_CREATE_EXCLUSIVEJeff Layton
RFC 3530 says: If the server uses an attribute to store the exclusive create verifier, it will signify which attribute by setting the appropriate bit in the attribute mask that is returned in the results. Linux uses the atime and mtime to store the verifier, but sends a zeroed out bitmask back to the client. This patch makes sure that we set the correct bits in the bitmask in this situation.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either.

2007-07-19nfsd: fix possible read-ahead cache and export table corruptionJ. Bruce Fields
The value of nperbucket calculated here is too small--we should be rounding up instead of down--with the result that the index j in the following loop can overflow the raparm_hash array. At least in my case, the next thing in memory turns out to be export_table, so the symptoms I see are crashes caused by the appearance of four zeroed-out export entries in the first bucket of the hash table of exports (which were actually entries in the readahead cache, a pointer to which had been written to the export table in this initialization code). It looks like the bug was probably introduced with commit fce1456a19f5c08b688c29f00ef90fdfa074c79b ("knfsd: make the readahead params cache SMP-friendly").

2007-07-18locks: rename lease functions to reflect locks.c conventionsJ. Bruce Fields
We've been using the convention that vfs_foo is the function that calls a filesystem-specific foo method if it exists, or falls back on a generic method if it doesn't; thus vfs_foo is what is called when some other part of the kernel (normally lockd or nfsd) wants to get a lock, whereas foo is what filesystems call to use the underlying local functionality as part of their lock implementation. So rename setlease to vfs_setlease (which will call a filesystem-specific setlease after a later patch) and __setlease to setlease. Also, vfs_setlease need only be GPL-exported as long as it's only needed by lockd and nfsd. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

2007-07-17knfsd: nfsd: set rq_client to ip-address-determined-domainJ. Bruce Fields
We want it to be possible for users to restrict exports both by IP address and by pseudoflavor. The pseudoflavor information has previously been passed using special auth_domains stored in the rq_client field. After the preceding patch that stored the pseudoflavor in rq_pflavor, that's now superfluous; so now we use rq_client for the ip information, as auth_null and auth_unix do. However, we keep around the special auth_domain in the rq_gssclient field for backwards compatibility purposes, so we can still do upcalls using the old "gss/pseudoflavor" auth_domain if upcalls using the unix domain to give us an appropriate export. This allows us to continue supporting old mountd. In fact, for this first patch, we always use the "gss/pseudoflavor" auth_domain (and only it) if it is available; thus rq_client is ignored in the auth_gss case, and this patch on its own makes no change in behavior; that will be left to later patches. Note on idmap: I'm almost tempted to just replace the auth_domain in the idmap upcall by a dummy value--no version of idmapd has ever used it, and it's unlikely anyone really wants to perform idmapping differently depending on the where the client is (they may want to perform *credential* mapping differently, but that's a different matter--the idmapper just handles id's used in getattr and setattr). But I'm updating the idmapd code anyway, just out of general backwards-compatibility paranoia. Signed-off-by: "J.

2007-07-17knfsd: nfsd: make all exp_finding functions return -errno's on errJ. Bruce Fields
Currently exp_find(), exp_get_by_name(), and friends, return an export on success, and on failure return: errors -EAGAIN (drop this request pending an upcall) or -ETIMEDOUT (an upcall has timed out), or return NULL, which can mean either that there was a memory allocation failure, or that an export was not found, or that a passed-in export lacks an auth_domain. Many callers seem to assume that NULL means that an export was not found, which may lead to bugs in the case of a memory allocation failure. Modify these functions to distinguish between the two NULL cases by returning either -ENOENT or -ENOMEM. They now never return NULL. We get to simplify some code in the process. We return -ENOENT in the case of a missing auth_domain. This case should probably be removed (or converted to a bug) after confirming that it can never happen. Signed-off-by: "J.

2007-07-17knfsd: nfsd4: vary maximum delegation limit based on RAM sizeMeelap Shah
Our original NFSv4 delegation policy was to give out a read delegation on any open when it was possible to. Since the lifetime of a delegation isn't limited to that of an open, a client may quite reasonably hang on to a delegation as long as it has the inode cached. This becomes an obvious problem the first time a client's inode cache approaches the size of the server's total memory. Our first quick solution was to add a hard-coded limit. This patch makes a mild incremental improvement by varying that limit according to the server's total memory size, allowing at most 4 delegations per megabyte of RAM. My quick back-of-the-envelope calculation finds that in the worst case (where every delegation is for a different inode), a delegation could take about 1.5K, which would make the worst case usage about 6% of memory. The new limit works out to be about the same as the old on a 1-gig server.

Fix both the caller and the callee, by modifying nfsd4_set_nfs4_acl() to stop relying on the passed-in-pointers being left as NULL in the error case, and by modifying nfs4_acl_nfsv4_to_posix() to stop returning garbage in those pointers.

2007-07-17knfsd: lockd: nfsd4: use same grace period for lockd and nfsd4Marc Eshel
Both lockd and (in the nfsv4 case) nfsd enforce a "grace period" after reboot, during which clients may reclaim locks from the previous server instance, but may not acquire new locks. Currently the lockd and nfsd enforce grace periods of different lengths. This may cause problems when we reboot a server with both v2/v3 and v4 clients. For example, if the lockd grace period is shorter (as is likely the case), then a v3 client might acquire a new lock that conflicts with a lock already held (but not yet reclaimed) by a v4 client.

2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-07-13nfsd: fix nfsd_vfs_read() splice actor setupJens Axboe
When nfsd was transitioned to use splice instead of sendfile() for data transfers, a line setting the page index was lost. Restore it, so that nfsd is functional when that path is used. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-07-11SUNRPC: Add a convenient default for the hostname when calling rpc_create()Chuck Lever
A couple of callers just use a stringified IP address for the rpc client's hostname. Move the logic for constructing this into rpc_create(), so it can be shared. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2007-07-10pipe: change the ->pin() operation to ->confirm()Jens Axboe
The name 'pin' was badly chosen, it doesn't pin a pipe buffer in the most commonly used sense in the kernel. So change the name to 'confirm', after debating this issue with Hugh Dickins a bit. A good return from ->confirm() means that the buffer is really there, and that the contents are good. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-07-10splice: divorce the splice structure/function definitions from the pipe headerJens Axboe
We need to move even more stuff into the header so that folks can use the splice_to_pipe() implementation instead of open-coding a lot of pipe knowledge (see relay implementation), so move to our own header file finally. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-05-21Detach sched.h from mm.hAlexey Dobriyan
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock() mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why. This patch a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly. e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were getting them indirectly Net result is: a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if they don't need sched.h b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files: on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files, after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%). Cross-compile tested on all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs, alpha alpha-up arm i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig ia64 ia64-up m68k mips parisc parisc-up powerpc powerpc-up s390 s390-up sparc sparc-up sparc64 sparc64-up um-x86_64 x86_64 x86_64-up x86_64-defconfig x86_64-allnoconfig as well as my two usual configs.

2007-05-09knfsd: avoid Oops if buggy userspace performs confusing filehandle->dentry ↵NeilBrown
mapping When a lookup request arrives, nfsd uses information provided by userspace (mountd) to find the right filesystem. It then assumes that the same filehandle type as the incoming filehandle can be used to create an outgoing filehandle. However if mountd is buggy, or maybe just being creative, the filesystem may not support that filesystem type, and the kernel could oops, particularly if 'ex_uuid' is NULL but a FSID_UUID* filehandle type is used. So add some proper checking that the fsid version/type from the incoming filehandle is actually supportable, and ignore that information if it isn't supportable.

2007-05-09knfsd: various nfsd xdr cleanupsNeilBrown
1/ decode_sattr and decode_sattr3 never return NULL, so remove several checks for that. ditto for xdr_decode_hyper. 2/ replace some open coded XDR_QUADLEN calls with calls to XDR_QUADLEN 3/ in decode_writeargs, simply an 'if' to use a single calculation. .page_len is the length of that part of the packet that did not fit in the first page (the head). So the length of the data part is the remainder of the head, plus page_len. 3/ other minor cleanups.
