The idea is to separate service destruction and per-net operations,
because these are two different things and the mix looks ugly.
Notes:
1) For NFS server this patch looks ugly (sorry for that). But these
place will be rewritten soon during NFSd containerization.
2) LockD per-net counter increase int lockd_up() was moved prior to
make_socks() to make lockd_down_net() call safe in case of error.

This new routine is responsible for service registration in a specified
network context.
The idea is to separate service creation from per-net operations.
Note also: since registering service with svc_bind() can fail, the
service will be destroyed and during destruction it will try to
unregister itself from rpcbind. In this case unregistration has to be
skipped.

v2: dereference of most probably already released nlm_host removed in
nlmclnt_done() and reclaimer().
These routines are called from locks reclaimer() kernel thread. This thread
works in "init_net" network context and currently relays on persence on lockd
thread and it's per-net resources. Thus lockd_up() and lockd_down() can't relay
on current network context. So let's pass corrent one into them.

It's sort of ridiculous that we've never had a working reply cache for
NFSv4.
On the other hand, we may still not: our current reply cache is likely
not very good, especially in the TCP case (which is the only case that
matters for v4). What we really need here is some serious testing.
Anyway, here's a start.

As promised in feature-removal-schedule.txt it is time to
remove the nfsctl system call.
Userspace has perferred to not use this call throughout 2.6 and it has been
excluded in the default configuration since 2.6.36 (9 months ago).
So this patch removes all the code that was being compiled out.
There are still references to sys_nfsctl in various arch systemcall tables
and related code. These should be cleaned out too, probably in the next
merge window.

Currently we use -EAGAIN returns to determine when to drop a deferred
request. On its own, that is error-prone, as it makes us treat -EAGAIN
returns from other functions specially to prevent inadvertent dropping.
So, use a flag on the request instead.
Returning an error on request deferral is still required, to prevent
further processing, but we no longer need worry that an error return on
its own could result in a drop.

Commit 59db4a0c102e0de226a3395dbf25ea51bf845937 "nfsd: move more into
nfsd_startup()" inadvertently moved nfsd_versions after
nfsd_create_svc(). On older distributions using an rpc.nfsd that does
not explicitly set the list of nfsd versions, this results in
svc-create_pooled() being called with an empty versions array. The
resulting incomplete initialization leads to a NULL dereference in
svc_process_common() the first time a client accesses the server.
Move nfsd_reset_versions() back before the svc_create_pooled(); this
time, put it closer to the svc_create_pooled() call, to make this
mistake more difficult in the future.

Right now, nfsd keeps a lockd reference for each socket that it has
open. This is unnecessary and complicates the error handling on
startup and shutdown. Change it to just do a lockd_up when starting
the first nfsd thread just do a single lockd_down when taking down the
last nfsd thread. Because of the strange way the sv_count is handled
this requires an extra flag to tell whether the nfsd_serv holds a
reference for lockd or not.

If someone tries to shut down the laundry_wq while it isn't up it'll
cause an oops.
This can happen because write_ports can create a nfsd_svc before we
really start the nfs server, and we may fail before the server is ever
started.
Also make sure state is shutdown on error paths in nfsd_svc().
Use a common global nfsd_up flag instead of nfs4_init, and create common
helper functions for nfsd start/shutdown, as there will be other work
that we want done only when we the number of nfsd threads transitions
between zero and nonzero.

The /proc/fs/nfsd/versions file calls nfsd_vers() to check whether
the particular nfsd version is present/available. The problem is
that once I turn off e.g. NFSD-V4 this call returns -1 which is
true from the callers POV which is wrong.
The proposal is to report false in that case.

Add a config option (CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS) to turn on some debug checking
for credential management. The additional code keeps track of the number of
pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that
this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes
all references, not just those from task_structs).
Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security
pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid.
This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd
kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the
credential struct has been previously released):

Use NFSD_SLOT_CACHE_SIZE size buffers for sessions DRC instead of holding nfsd
pages in cache.
Connectathon testing has shown that 1024 bytes for encoded compound operation
responses past the sequence operation is sufficient, 512 bytes is a little too
small. Set NFSD_SLOT_CACHE_SIZE to 1024.
Allocate memory for the session DRC in the CREATE_SESSION operation
to guarantee that the memory resource is available for caching responses.
Allocate each slot individually in preparation for slot table size negotiation.
Remove struct nfsd4_cache_entry and helper functions for the old page-based
DRC.
The iov_len calculation in nfs4svc_encode_compoundres is now always
correct. Replay is now done in nfsd4_sequence under the state lock, so
the session ref count is only bumped on non-replay. Clean up the
nfs4svc_encode_compoundres session logic.

Currently when we write a number to 'threads' in nfsdfs,
we take the nfsd_mutex, update the number of threads, then take the
mutex again to read the number of threads.
Mostly this isn't a big deal. However if we are write '0', and
portmap happens to be dead, then we can get unpredictable behaviour.
If the nfsd threads all got killed quickly and the last thread is
waiting for portmap to respond, then the second time we take the mutex
we will block waiting for the last thread.
However if the nfsd threads didn't die quite that fast, then there
will be no contention when we try to take the mutex again.
Unpredictability isn't fun, and waiting for the last thread to exit is
pointless, so avoid taking the lock twice.
To achieve this, get nfsd_svc return a non-negative number of active
threads when not returning a negative error.

Stop gathering the data that feeds the 'th' line in /proc/net/rpc/nfsd
because the questionable data provided is not worth the scalability
impact of calculating it. Instead, always report zeroes. The current
approach suffers from three major issues:
1. update_thread_usage() increments buckets by call service
time or call arrival time...in jiffies. On lightly loaded
machines, call service times are usually < 1 jiffy; on
heavily loaded machines call arrival times will be << 1 jiffy.
So a large portion of the updates to the buckets are rounded
down to zero, and the histogram is undercounting.
2. As seen previously on the nfs mailing list, the format in which
the histogram is presented is cryptic, difficult to explain,
and difficult to use.
3. Updating the histogram requires taking a global spinlock and
dirtying the global variables nfsd_last_call, nfsd_busy, and
nfsdstats *twice* on every RPC call, which is a significant
scaling limitation.
Testing on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients each doing
1K streaming reads at full line rate, shows the stats update code
(inlined into nfsd()) takes about 1.7% of each CPU. This patch drops
the contribution from nfsd() into the profile noise.
This patch is a forward-ported version of knfsd-remove-nfsd-threadstats
which has been shipping in the SGI "Enhanced NFS" product since 2006.
In that time, exactly one customer has noticed that the threadstats
were missing. It has been previously posted:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.nfs/10376
and more recently requested to be posted again.
