2006-04-11[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: add missing rpciod_down()NeilBrown
We should be shutting down rpciod for the callback channel when we shut down the server. Also note that we do rpciod_up() and create the callback client *before* setting cb_set--the cb_set only determines whether the initial null was succesful. So cb_set is not a reliable determiner of whether we need to clean up, only cb_client is. Signed-off-by: J.

In v4 we grab an extra page just for the padding of returned data. The formula that the rpc server uses to allocate pages for the response doesn't take into account this extra page.

2006-04-11[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: nfsd_setuser doesn't really need to modify rqstp->rq_cred.NeilBrown
In addition to setting the processes filesystem id's, nfsd_setuser also modifies the value of the rq_cred which stores the id's that originally came from the rpc call, for example to reflect root squashing. There's no real reason to do that--the only case where rqstp->rq_cred is actually used later on is in the NFSv4 SETCLIENTID/SETCLIENTID_CONFIRM operations, and there the results are the opposite of what we want--those two operations don't deal with the filesystem at all, they only record the credentials used with the rpc call for later reference (so that we may require the same credentials be used on later operations), and the credentials shouldn't vary just because there was or wasn't a previous operation in the compound that referred to some export This fixes a bug which caused mounts from Solaris clients to fail.

2006-04-11[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: oops exporting nonexistent directoryNeilBrown
Export a directory that does not exist: exportfs -orw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check client:/home/NFS4 Try to mount from client with nfs4. Mount hangs (I'm not sure why - that's another issue). While client is hung, back on server mkdir /home/NFS4 The server panics in dput. I traced the problem back to svc_export_parse() calling path_release() even though path_lookup() failed (it happens to fill in the nameidata structure with a negative dentry - so the test after out: succeeds). After patching, an recreating the problem, the client mount still takes some time before finally exiting with a message "couldn't read superblock".

2006-04-11[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: fix acl xattr length returnNeilBrown
We should be using the length from the second vfs_getxattr, in case it changed. (Note: there's still a small race here; we could end up returning -ENOMEM if the length increased between the first and second call. I don't know whether it's worth spending a lot of effort to fix that.) This makes XFS ACLs usable on NFS exports, which they currently aren't, since XFS appears to be returning a too-large value for vfs_getxattr() when it's passed a NULL buffer. So there's probably an XFS bug here too, though since getxattr with a NULL buffer is usually used to decide how much memory to allocate, it may be a fairly harmless bug in most cases.

2006-04-11[PATCH] knfsd: locks: flag NFSv4-owned locksNeilBrown
Use the fl_lmops field to identify which locks are ours, instead of trying to look them up in our private hash. This is safer and more efficient. Earlier versions of this patch used a lock flag instead, but Trond pointed out that adding a new flag for each lock manager wasn't going to scale well, and suggested this approach instead; a separate patch converts lockd to using fl_lmops in the same way. In the NFSv4 case this looks like a bit of a hack, since the NFSv4 server isn't currently actually defining a lock_manager_operations struct, so we end up defining one *just* to serve as a cookie to identify our locks. But it works, and we actually do expect to start using the lock_manager_operations at some point anyway.

2006-04-11[PATCH] knfsd: Correct reserved reply space for read requests.NeilBrown
NFSd makes sure there is enough space to hold the maximum possible reply before accepting a request. The units for this maximum is (4byte) words. However in three places, particularly for read request, the number given is a number of bytes. This means too much space is reserved which is slightly wasteful. This is the sort of patch that could uncover a deeper bug, and it is not critical, so it would be best for it to spend a while in -mm before going in to mainline.

2006-04-11[PATCH] fuse: account background requestsMiklos Szeredi
The previous patch removed limiting the number of outstanding requests. This patch adds a much simpler limiting, that is also compatible with file locking operations. A task may have at most one synchronous request allocated. So these requests need not be otherwise limited. However the number of background requests (release, forget, asynchronous reads, interrupted requests) can grow indefinitely. This can be used by a malicous user to cause FUSE to allocate arbitrary amounts of unswappable kernel memory, denying service. For this reason add a limit for the number of background requests, and block allocations of new requests until the number goes bellow the limit. Also use this mechanism to block all requests until the INIT reply is received.

2006-04-11[PATCH] fuse: clean up request accountingMiklos Szeredi
FUSE allocated most requests from a fixed size pool filled at mount time. However in some cases (release/forget) non-pool requests were used. File locking operations aren't well served by the request pool, since they may block indefinetly thus exhausting the pool. This patch removes the request pool and always allocates requests on demand.

2006-04-11[PATCH] fuse: simplify lockingMiklos Szeredi
This is in preparation for removing the global spinlock in favor of a per-mount one. The only critical part is the interaction between fuse_dev_release() and fuse_fill_super(): fuse_dev_release() must see the assignment to file->private_data, otherwise it will leak the reference to fuse_conn. This is ensured by the fput() operation, which will synchronize the assignment with other CPU's that may do a final fput() soon after this. Also redundant locking is removed from fuse_fill_super(), where exclusion is already ensured by the BKL held for this function by the VFS.

2006-04-11[PATCH] fuse: add O_ASYNC support to FUSE deviceJeff Dike
This adds asynchronous notification to FUSE - a FUSE server can request O_ASYNC on a /dev/fuse file descriptor and receive SIGIO when there is input available. One subtlety - fuse_dev_fasync, which is called when O_ASYNC is requested, does no locking, unlink the other methods. I think it's unnecessary, as the fuse_conn.fasync list is manipulated only by fasync_helper and kill_fasync, which provide their own locking. It would also be wrong to use the fuse_lock, as it's a spin lock and fasync_helper can sleep. My one concern with this is the fuse_conn going away underneath fuse_dev_fasync - sys_fcntl takes a reference on the file struct, so this seems not to be a problem.

2006-04-11[PATCH] fuse: fix fuse_dev_poll() return valueMiklos Szeredi
fuse_dev_poll() returned an error value instead of a poll mask. Luckily (or unluckily) -ENODEV does contain the POLLERR bit. There's also a race if filesystem is unmounted between fuse_get_conn() and spin_lock(), in which case this event will be missed by poll().

2006-04-11[PATCH] fuse: fix oops in fuse_send_readpages()Miklos Szeredi
During heavy parallel filesystem activity it was possible to Oops the kernel. The reason is that read_cache_pages() could skip pages which have already been inserted into the cache by another task. Occasionally this may result in zero pages actually being sent, while fuse_send_readpages() relies on at least one page being in the request. So check this corner case and just free the request instead of trying to send it. Reported and tested by Konstantin Isakov.

2006-04-11[PATCH] inotify: check for NULL inode in inotify_d_instantiateArnd Bergmann
The spufs file system creates files in a directory before instantiating the directory itself, which causes a NULL pointer access in inotify_d_instantiate since c32ccd87bfd1414b0aabfcd8dbc7539ad23bcbaa.

2006-04-11[PATCH] process accounting: take original leader's start_time in non-leader execRoland McGrath
The only record we have of the real-time age of a process, regardless of execs it's done, is start_time. When a non-leader thread exec, the original start_time of the process is lost. Things looking at the real-time age of the process are fooled, for example the process accounting record when the process finally dies. This change makes the oldest start_time stick around with the process after a non-leader exec. This way the association between PID and start_time is kept constant, which seems correct to me.
