20d27e929f NFS: Add a client-side function to display NFS file handles
For debugging, introduce a simplistic function to print NFS file
handles on the system console.  The main function is hooked into the
dprintk debugging facility, but you can directly call the helper,
_nfs_display_fhandle(), if you want to print a handle unconditionally.

28cd1b3f26 NFS: make cb_ident_idr per net ns
This patch makes ID's infrastructure network namespace aware. This was done
mainly because of nfs_client_lock, which is desired to be per network
namespace, but protects NFS clients ID's.

NOTE: NFS client's net pointer have to be set prior to ID initialization,
proper assignment was moved.

6b13168b36 NFS: make nfs_client_list per net ns
This patch splits global list of NFS clients into per-net-ns array of lists.
This looks more strict and clearer.
BTW, this patch also makes "/proc/fs/nfsfs/servers" entry content depends on
/proc mount owner pid namespace. See below for details.

NOTE: few words about how was /proc/fs/nfsfs/ entries content show per network
namespace done. This is a little bit tricky and not the best is could be. But
it's cheap (proper fix for /proc conteinerization is a hard nut to crack).
The idea is simple: take proper network namespace from pid namespace
child reaper nsproxy of /proc/ mount creator.
This actually means, that if there are 2 containers with different net
namespace sharing pid namespace, then read of /proc/fs/nfsfs/ entries will
always return content, taken from net namespace of pid namespace creator task
(and thus second namespace set wil be unvisible).

9e2e74dba6 NFS: blocklayout pipe creation per network namespace context introduced
This patch implements blocklayout pipe creation and registration per each
existent network namespace.
This was achived by registering NFS per-net operations, responsible for
blocklayout pipe allocation/register and unregister/destruction instead of
initialization and destruction of static "bl_device_pipe" pipe (this one was
removed).
Note, than pointer to network blocklayout pipe is stored in per-net "nfs_net"
structure, because allocating of one more per-net structure for blocklayout
module looks redundant.
This patch also changes dev_remove() function prototype (and all it's callers,
where it' requied) by adding network namespace pointer parameter, which is used
to discover proper blocklayout pipe for rpc_queue_upcall() call.

1b340d0118 NFS: DNS resolver cache per network namespace context introduced
This patch implements DNS resolver cache creation and registration for each
alive network namespace context.
This was done by registering NFS per-net operations, responsible for DNS cache
allocation/register and unregister/destructioning instead of initialization and
destruction of static "nfs_dns_resolve" cache detail (this one was removed).
Pointer to network dns resolver cache is stored in new per-net "nfs_net"
structure.
This patch also changes nfs_dns_resolve_name() function prototype (and it's
calls) by adding network pointer parameter, which is used to get proper DNS
resolver cache pointer for do_cache_lookup_wait() call.

Note: empty nfs_dns_resolver_init() and nfs_dns_resolver_destroy() functions
will be used in next patch in the series.

6926afd192 NFSv4: Save the owner/group name string when doing open
...so that we can do the uid/gid mapping outside the asynchronous RPC
context.
This fixes a bug in the current NFSv4 atomic open code where the client
isn't able to determine what the true uid/gid fields of the file are,
(because the asynchronous nature of the OPEN call denies it the ability
to do an upcall) and so fills them with default values, marking the
inode as needing revalidation.
Unfortunately, in some cases, the VFS will do some additional sanity
checks on the file, and may override the server's decision to allow
the open because it sees the wrong owner/group fields.

d310310cbf Freezer / sunrpc / NFS: don't allow TASK_KILLABLE sleeps to block the freezer
Allow the freezer to skip wait_on_bit_killable sleeps in the sunrpc
layer. This should allow suspend and hibernate events to proceed, even
when there are RPC's pending on the wire.

Also, wrap the TASK_KILLABLE sleeps in NFS layer in freezer_do_not_count
and freezer_count calls. This allows the freezer to skip tasks that are
sleeping while looping on EJUKEBOX or NFS4ERR_DELAY sorts of errors.

1788ea6e3b nfs: when attempting to open a directory, fall back on normal lookup (try #5)
commit d953126 changed how nfs_atomic_lookup handles an -EISDIR return
from an OPEN call. Prior to that patch, that caused the client to fall
back to doing a normal lookup. When that patch went in, the code began
returning that error to userspace. The d_revalidate codepath however
never had the corresponding change, so it was still possible to end up
with a NULL ctx->state pointer after that.

That patch caused a regression. When we attempt to open a directory that
does not have a cached dentry, that open now errors out with EISDIR. If
you attempt the same open with a cached dentry, it will succeed.

Fix this by reverting the change in nfs_atomic_lookup and allowing
attempts to open directories to fall back to a normal lookup

Also, add a NFSv4-specific f_ops->open routine that just returns
-ENOTDIR. This should never be called if things are working properly,
but if it ever is, then the dprintk may help in debugging.

To facilitate this, a new file_operations field is also added to the
nfs_rpc_ops struct.

0f66b5984d NFS41: do not update isize if inode needs layoutcommit
nfs_update_inode will update isize if there is no queued pages. For pNFS,
layoutcommit is supposed to change file size on server, the same effect as queued
pages. nfs_update_inode may be called when dirty pages are written back (nfsi->npages==0)
but layoutcommit is not sent, and it will change client file size according to server
file size. Then client ends up losing what it just writes back in pNFS path.
So we should skip updating client file size if file needs layoutcommit.

  the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
  page lock to follow page->mapping.

The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.

In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.

The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

4541d16c02 pnfs: change how lsegs are removed from layout list
This is to prepare the way for sensible io draining.  Instead of just
removing the lseg from the list, we instead clear the VALID flag
(preventing new io from grabbing references to the lseg) and remove
the reference holding it in the list.  Thus the lseg will be removed
once any io in progress completes and any references still held are
dropped.

nfs_readdir_clear_array directly, when dealing with an anonymous

This patch creates a new idmapper system that uses the request-key function to

idmapper was single threaded, which prevented more than one request from running

The upcall result is stored on a keyring of type id_resolver.  See the file

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

26821ed40b make sure data is on disk before calling ->write_inode
Similar to the fsync issue fixed a while ago in commit
2daea67e96 we need to write for data to
actually hit the disk before writing out the metadata to guarantee
data integrity for filesystems that modify the inode in the data I/O
completion path.  Currently XFS and NFS handle this manually, and AFS
has a write_inode method that does nothing but waiting for data, while
others are possibly missing out on this.

Fortunately this change has a lot less impact than the fsync change
as none of the write_inode methods starts data writeout of any form
by itself.

f895c53f8a NFS: Make close(2) asynchronous when closing NFS O_DIRECT files
For NFSv2 and v3:

O_DIRECT writes are always synchronous, and aren't cached, so nothing
should be flushed when closing an NFS O_DIRECT file descriptor.  Thus
there are no write errors to report on close(2).

In addition, there's no cached data to verify on the next open(2),
so we don't need clean GETATTR results at close time to compare with.

Thus, there's no need for the nfs_revalidate_inode() call when closing
an NFS O_DIRECT file.  This reduces the number of synchronous
on-the-wire requests for a simple open-write-close of an NFS O_DIRECT
file by roughly 20%.

For NFSv4:

Call nfs4_do_close() with wait set to zero when closing an NFS
O_DIRECT file.  The CLOSE will go on the wire, but the application
won't wait for it to complete.

72cb77f4a5 NFS: Throttle page dirtying while we're flushing to disk
The following patch is a combination of a patch by myself and Peter
Staubach.

Trond: If we allow other processes to dirty pages while a process is doing
a consistency sync to disk, we can end up never making progress.

Peter: Attached is a patch which addresses a continuing problem with
the NFS client generating out of order WRITE requests.  While
this is compliant with all of the current protocol
specifications, there are servers in the market which can not
handle out of order WRITE requests very well.  Also, this may
lead to sub-optimal block allocations in the underlying file
system on the server.  This may cause the read throughputs to
be reduced when reading the file from the server.

Peter: There has been a lot of work recently done to address out of
order issues on a systemic level.  However, the NFS client is
still susceptible to the problem.  Out of order WRITE
requests can occur when pdflush is in the middle of writing
out pages while the process dirtying the pages calls
generic_file_buffered_write which calls
generic_perform_write which calls
balance_dirty_pages_rate_limited which ends up calling
writeback_inodes which ends up calling back into the NFS
client to writes out dirty pages for the same file that
pdflush happens to be working with.

9e6e70f8d8 NFSv4: Support NFSv4 optional attributes in the struct nfs_fattr
Currently, filling struct nfs_fattr is more or less an all or nothing
operation, since NFSv2 and NFSv3 have only mandatory attributes.
In NFSv4, some attributes are optional, and so we may simply not be able to
fill in those fields. Furthermore, NFSv4 allows you to specify which
attributes you are interested in retrieving, thus permitting you to
optimise away retrieval of attributes that you know will no change...

37d9d76d8b NFS: flush cached directory information slightly more readily.
If cached directory contents becomes incorrect, there is no way to
flush the contents.  This contrasts with files where file locking is
the recommended way to ensure cache consistency between multiple
applications (a read-lock always flushes the cache).

Also while changes to files often change the size of the file (thus
triggering a cache flush), changes to directories often do not change
the apparent size (as the size is often rounded to a block size).

So it is particularly important with directories to avoid the
possibility of an incorrect cache wherever possible.

When the link count on a directory changes it implies a change in the
number of child directories, and so a change in the contents of this
directory.  So use that as a trigger to flush cached contents.

When the ctime changes but the mtime does not, there are two possible
reasons.
 1/ The owner/mode information has been changed.
 2/ utimes has been used to set the mtime backwards.

In the first case, a data-cache flush is not required.
In the second case it is.

So on the basis that correctness trumps performance, flush the
directory contents cache in this case also.

64672d55d9 optimize attribute timeouts for "noac" and "actimeo=0"
Hi.

I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where
a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0"
mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were
seeing in the file attributes.  It turned out that this solution
did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local
attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out.
(With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always
appear to be timed out.)

In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem
is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one
error in it.  It is assuming that the cache is valid in the
region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo].  The
cache should be considered valid only in the region,
[read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo).  With this
change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally
expected.

This problem was previously addressed by special casing the
attrtimeo == 0 case.  However, since the problem is only an off-
by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one
error and thus, not require the special case.

    Thanx...

        ps

011935a0a7 NFS: Fix a resolution problem with nfs_inode->cache_change_attribute
The cache_change_attribute is used to decide whether or not a directory has
changed, in which case we may need to look it up again. Again, the use of
'jiffies' leads to an issue of resolution.

Once again, the fix is to change nfs_inode->cache_change_attribute, and
just make it a simple counter.

4704f0e274 NFS: Fix the resolution problem with nfs_inode_attrs_need_update()
It appears that 'jiffies' timestamps do not have high enough resolution for
nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(). One problem is that a GETATTR can be
launched within < 1 jiffy of the last operation that updated the attribute.
Another problem is that RPC calls can take < 1 jiffy to execute.

We can fix this by switching the variables to use a simple global counter
that gets incremented every time we start another GETATTR call.

03254e65a6 NFS: Fix attribute updates
This fixes a regression seen when running the Connectathon testsuite
against an ext3 filesystem. The reason was that the inode was constantly
being marked as 'just updated' by the jiffy wraparound test.
This again meant that newer GETATTR calls were failing to pass the
nfs_inode_attrs_need_update() test unless the changes caused a ctime update
on the server, since they were perceived as having been started before the
latest inode update.

Given that nfs_inode_attrs_need_update() already checks for wraparound
of nfsi->last_updated, we can drop the buggy "protection" in
nfs_update_inode().

Also make a slight micro-optimisation of nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(): we
are more often going to see time_after(fattr->time_start, nfsi->last_updated)
be true, rather than seeing an update of ctime/size, so put that test
first to ensure that we optimise away the ctime/size tests.

4dc05efb86 NFS: Convert __nfs_revalidate_inode() to use nfs_refresh_inode()
In the case where there are parallel RPC calls to the same inode, we may
receive stale metadata due to the lack of ordering, hence the sanity
checking of metadata in nfs_refresh_inode().
Currently, __nfs_revalidate_inode() is calling nfs_update_inode() directly,
without any further sanity checks, and hence may end up setting the inode
up with stale metadata.

Fix is to use nfs_refresh_inode() instead of nfs_update_inode().

a10ad17630 NFS: Fix the NFS attribute update
Currently nfs_refresh_inode() will only update the inode metadata if it
sees that the RPC call that returned the nfs_fattr was started
after the last update of the inode. This means that if we have parallel
RPC calls to the same inode (when sending WRITE calls, for instance), we
may often miss updates.

This patch attempts to recover those missed updates by also accepting
them if the ctime in the nfs_fattr is more recent than the inode's
cached ctime.
It also recovers the case where the file size has increased, but the
ctime has not been updated due to limited ctime resolution.
