e0bb89ef03 [PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: don't drop silently on upcall deferral
To avoid tying up server threads when nfsd makes an upcall (to mountd, to get
export options, to idmapd, for nfsv4 name<->id mapping, etc.), we temporarily
"drop" the request and save enough information so that we can revisit it
later.

Certain failures during the deferral process can cause us to really drop the
request and never revisit it.

This is often less than ideal, and is unacceptable in the NFSv4 case--rfc 3530
forbids the server from dropping a request without also closing the
connection.

As a first step, we modify the deferral code to return -ETIMEDOUT (which is
translated to nfserr_jukebox in the v3 and v4 cases, and remains a drop in the
v2 case).

7b2b1fee30 [PATCH] knfsd: knfsd: cache ipmap per TCP socket
Speed up high call-rate workloads by caching the struct ip_map for the peer on
the connected struct svc_sock instead of looking it up in the ip_map cache
hashtable on every call.  This helps workloads using AUTH_SYS authentication
over TCP.

Testing was on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients, each with 16
synthetic client threads simulating an rsync (i.e.  recursive directory
listing) workload reading from an i386 RH9 install image (161480 regular files
in 10841 directories) on the server.  That tree is small enough to fill in the
server's RAM so no disk traffic was involved.  This setup gives a sustained
call rate in excess of 60000 calls/sec before being CPU-bound on the server.

Profiling showed strcmp(), called from ip_map_match(), was taking 4.8% of each
CPU, and ip_map_lookup() was taking 2.9%.  This patch drops both contribution
into the profile noise.

Note that the above result overstates this value of this patch for most
workloads.  The synthetic clients are all using separate IP addresses, so
there are 64 entries in the ip_map cache hash.  Because the kernel measured
contained the bug fixed in commit

commit 1f1e030bf7

and was running on 64bit little-endian machine, probably all of those 64
entries were on a single chain, thus increasing the cost of ip_map_lookup().

With a modern kernel you would need more clients to see the same amount of
performance improvement.  This patch has helped to scale knfsd to handle a
deployment with 2000 NFS clients.

efc36aa560 [PATCH] knfsd: Change the store of auth_domains to not be a 'cache'
The 'auth_domain's are simply handles on internal data structures.  They do
not cache information from user-space, and forcing them into the mold of a
'cache' misrepresents their true nature and causes confusion.

1f1e030bf7 [PATCH] knfsd: fix hash function for IP addresses on 64bit little-endian machines.
The hash.h hash_long function, when used on a 64 bit machine, ignores many
of the middle-order bits.  (The prime chosen it too bit-sparse).

IP addresses for clients of an NFS server are very likely to differ only in
the low-order bits.  As addresses are stored in network-byte-order, these
bits become middle-order bits in a little-endian 64bit 'long', and so do
not contribute to the hash.  Thus you can have the situation where all
clients appear on one hash chain.

So, until hash_long is fixed (or maybe forever), us a hash function that
works well on IP addresses - xor the bytes together.

Thanks to "Iozone" <capps@iozone.org> for identifying this problem.

f35279d3f7 [PATCH] sunrpc: cache_register can use wrong module reference
When registering an RPC cache, cache_register() always sets the owner as the
sunrpc module.  However, there are RPC caches owned by other modules.  With
the incorrect owner setting, the real owning module can be removed potentially
with an open reference to the cache from userspace.

For example, if one were to stop the nfs server and unmount the nfsd
filesystem, the nfsd module could be removed eventhough rpc.idmapd had
references to the idtoname and nametoid caches (i.e.
/proc/net/rpc/nfs4.<cachename>/channel is still open).  This resulted in a
system panic on one of our machines when attempting to restart the nfs
services after reloading the nfsd module.

The following patch adds a 'struct module *owner' field in struct
cache_detail.  The owner is further assigned to the struct proc_dir_entry
in cache_register() so that the module cannot be unloaded while user-space
daemons have an open reference on the associated file under /proc.

543537bd92 [PATCH] create a kstrdup library function
This patch creates a new kstrdup library function and changes the "local"
implementations in several places to use this function.

Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems.  The sound part
had already been acknowledged by Takashi Iwai and the net part by David S.
Miller.

I left UML alone for now because I would need more time to read the code
carefully before making changes there.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
