2010-09-07sunrpc/cache: allow threads to block while waiting for cache update.NeilBrown
The current practice of waiting for cache updates by queueing the whole request to be retried has (at least) two problems. 1/ With NFSv4, requests can be quite complex and re-trying a whole request when a later part fails should only be a last-resort, not a normal practice. 2/ Large requests, and in particular any 'write' request, will not be queued by the current code and doing so would be undesirable. In many cases only a very sort wait is needed before the cache gets valid data. So, providing the underlying transport permits it by setting ->thread_wait, arrange to wait briefly for an upcall to be completed (as reflected in the clearing of CACHE_PENDING). If the short wait was not long enough and CACHE_PENDING is still set, fall back on the old approach. The 'thread_wait' value is set to 5 seconds when there are spare threads, and 1 second when there are no spare threads. These values are probably much higher than needed, but will ensure some forward progress. Note that as we only request an update for a non-valid item, and as non-valid items are updated in place it is extremely unlikely that cache_check will return -ETIMEDOUT. Normally cache_defer_req will sleep for a short while and then find that the item is_valid. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>

2010-07-06sunrpc: make the cache cleaner workqueue deferrableArtem Bityutskiy
This patch makes the cache_cleaner workqueue deferrable, to prevent unnecessary system wake-ups, which is very important for embedded battery-powered devices. do_cache_clean() is called every 30 seconds at the moment, and often makes the system wake up from its power-save sleep state. With this change, when the workqueue uses a deferrable timer, the do_cache_clean() invocation will be delayed and combined with the closest "real" wake-up. This improves the power consumption situation. Note, I tried to create a DECLARE_DELAYED_WORK_DEFERRABLE() helper macro, similar to DECLARE_DELAYED_WORK(), but failed because of the way the timer wheel core stores the deferrable flag (it is the LSBit in the time->base pointer). My attempt to define a static variable with this bit set ended up with the "initializer element is not constant" error. Thus, I have to use run-time initialization, so I created a new cache_initialize() function which is called once when sunrpc is being initialized.

2010-03-15sunrpc: never return expired entries in sunrpc_cache_lookupNeilBrown
If sunrpc_cache_lookup finds an expired entry, remove it from the cache and return a freshly created non-VALID entry instead. This ensures that we only ever get a usable entry, or an entry that will become usable once an update arrives. i.e. we will never need to repeat the lookup. This allows us to remove the 'is_expired' test from cache_check (i.e. from cache_is_valid). cache_check should never get an expired entry as 'lookup' will never return one. If it does happen - due to inconvenient timing - then just accept it as still valid, it won't be very much past it's use-by date. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2010-03-14sunrpc/cache: factor out cache_is_expiredNeilBrown

2010-03-14sunrpc: don't keep expired entries in the auth caches.NeilBrown
currently expired entries remain in the auth caches as long as there is a reference. This was needed long ago when the auth_domain cache used the same cache infrastructure. But since that (being a very different sort of cache) was separated, this test is no longer needed. So remove the test on refcnt and tidy up the surrounding code. This allows the cache_dequeue call (which needed to be there to drop a potentially awkward reference) can be moved outside of the spinlock which is a better place for it.

2009-09-18sunrpc/cache: avoid variable over-loading in cache_defer_reqNeilBrown
In cache_defer_req, 'dreq' is used for two significantly different values that happen to be of the same type.

2009-09-11sunrpc/cache: simplify cache_fresh_locked and cache_fresh_unlocked.NeilBrown

So remove the first call. Then remove the 'new' parameter, then remove the return value for cache_fresh_locked which is only used to provide the value for 'new'.

2009-09-11sunrpc/cache: change cache_defer_req to return -ve error, not boolean.NeilBrown
As "cache_defer_req" does not sound like a predicate, having it return a boolean value can be confusing. It is more consistent to return 0 for success and negative for error. Exactly what error code to return is not important as we don't differentiate between reasons why the request wasn't deferred, we only care about whether it was deferred or not.

2009-08-09SUNRPC: Allow the cache_detail to specify alternative upcall mechanismsTrond Myklebust
For events that are rare, such as referral DNS lookups, it makes limited sense to have a daemon constantly listening for upcalls on a channel. An alternative in those cases might simply be to run the app that fills the cache using call_usermodehelper_exec() and friends. The following patch allows the cache_detail to specify alternative upcall mechanisms for these particular cases. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2009-08-09SUNRPC: Remove the global temporary write buffer in net/sunrpc/cache.cTrond Myklebust
While we do want to protect against multiple concurrent readers and writers on each upcall/downcall pipe, we don't want to limit concurrent reading and writing to separate caches. This patch therefore replaces the static buffer 'write_buf', which can only be used by one writer at a time, with use of the page cache as the temporary buffer for downcalls. We still fall back to using the the old global buffer if the downcall is larger than PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, since this is apparently needed by the SPKM security context initialisation. It then replaces the use of the global 'queue_io_mutex' with the inode->i_mutex in cache_read() and cache_write(). Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2009-08-04sunrpc/cache: make sure deferred requests eventually get revisited.NeilBrown
While deferred requests normally get revisited quite quickly, it is possible for a request to remain in the deferral queue when the cache item is discarded. We can easily make sure that doesn't happen by calling cache_revisit_request just before the final 'put'. Also there is a small chance that a race would cause one thread to defer a request against a cache item while another thread is failing to queue an upcall for that item. So when the upcall fails, make sure to revisit all deferred requests. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

2009-03-30proc 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>
