4f22ccc346 SUNRPC: mark bulk read/write data in xdrbuf
Adds a flag word to the xdrbuf struct which indicates any bulk
disposition of the data. This enables RPC transport providers to
marshal it efficiently/appropriately, and may enable other

0ac83779fa NFS: Add new 'mountaddr=' mount option
I got the 'mounthost=' option wrong - it shouldn't look for an address
value, but rather a hostname value.  However, the in-kernel mount client
and NFS client cannot resolve a hostname by themselves; they rely on
user-land to pass in the resolved address.

Create a new mount option that does take an address so that the mount
program's address can be passed in.  The mount hostname is now ignored
by the kernel.

aad7000735 [NFS] [PATCH] NFS: initialize default port in kernel mount client
If no mount server port number is specified, the previous change to the
kernel mount client inadvertently allows the NFS server's port number to be
the used as the mount server's port number. If the user specifies an NFS

The fix below sets the mount server's port to 0 if no mount server

b79dc8ced1 SUNRPC: RPC bind failures should be permanent for NULL requests
The purpose of an RPC ping (a NULL request) is to determine whether the
remote end is operating and supports the RPC program and version of the
request.

If we do an RPC bind and the remote's rpcbind service says "this
program or service isn't supported" then we have our answer already,
and we should give up immediately.

This is good for the kernel mount client, as it will cause the request
to fail, and then allow an immediate retry with different options.

906462af4c SUNRPC: Split another new rpcbind retry error code from EACCES
Add more new error code processing to the kernel's rpcbind client
and to call_bind_status() to distinguish two cases:

Case 1: the remote has replied that the program/version tuple is not
registered (returns EACCES)

Case 2: retry with a lesser rpcbind version (rpcb now returns EPFNOSUPPORT)

This change allows more specific error processing for each of these two
cases.  We now fail case 2 instead of retrying... it's a server
configuration error not to support even rpcbind version 2.  And don't
expose this new error code to user land -- convert it to EIO before
failing the RPC.

ddc01c0813 [NFS] [PATCH] NFS: show addr=ipaddr in /proc/mounts rather than
A minor thing, but useful when working with a server with multiple
addrs. This looks like it might also be necessary if Miklos' effort
to eliminate /etc/mtab ever comes to fruition.

When displaying mount options in /proc/mounts, the kernel prints
"addr=hostname". This info is redundant since we already have the
hostname displayed as part of the "device" section of the mount. This
patch changes it to display the IP address to which the socket is
connected.

c7e1596111 Re: [NFS] [PATCH] Attribute timeout handling and wrapping u32 jiffies
I would like to discuss the idea that the current checks for attribute
timeout using time_after are inadequate for 32bit architectures, since
time_after works correctly only when the two timestamps being compared
are within 2^31 jiffies of each other. The signed overflow caused by
comparing values more than 2^31 jiffies apart will flip the result,
causing incorrect assumptions of validity.

2^31 jiffies is a fairly large period of time (~25 days) when compared
to the lifetime of most kernel data structures, but for long lived NFS
mounts that can sit idle for months (think that for some reason autofs
cannot be used), it is easy to compare inode attribute timestamps with
very disparate or even bogus values (as in when jiffies have wrapped
many times, where the comparison doesn't even make sense).

Currently the code tests for attribute timeout by simply adding the
desired amount of jiffies to the stored timestamp and comparing that
with the current timestamp of obtained attribute data with time_after.
This is incorrect, as it returns true for the desired timeout period
and another full 2^31 range of jiffies.

In testing with artificial jumps (several small jumps, not one big
crank) of the jiffies I was able to reproduce a problem found in a
server with very long lived NFS mounts, where attributes would not be
refreshed even after touching files and directories in the server:

Initial uptime:
03:42:01 up 6 min, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.12, 0.07

NFS volume is mounted and time is advanced:
03:38:09 up 25 days, 2 min, 0 users, load average: 1.22, 1.05, 1.08

# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:38 /local/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar

# touch /local/A/foo/bar

# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:47 /local/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar

We can see the local mtime is updated, but the NFS mount still shows
the old value. The patch below makes it work:

Initial setup...
07:11:02 up 25 days, 1 min,  0 users,  load average: 0.15, 0.03, 0.04

# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Jan 11 07:11 /local/A/foo/bar

4e769b934e 64 bit ino support for NFS client
Hi.

Attached is a patch to modify the NFS client code to support
64 bit ino's, as appropriate for the system and the NFS
protocol version.

The code basically just expand the NFS interfaces for routines
which handle ino's from using ino_t to u64 and then uses the
fileid in the nfs_inode instead of i_ino in the inode.  The
code paths that were updated are in the getattr method and
the readdir methods.

This should be no real change on 64 bit platforms.  Since
the ino_t is an unsigned long, it would already be 64 bits
wide.

    Thanx...

50e437d522 SUNRPC: Convert rpc_pipefs to use the generic filesystem notification hooks
This will allow rpc.gssd to use inotify instead of dnotify in order to
locate new rpc upcall pipes.

This also requires the exporting of __audit_inode_child(), which is used by
fsnotify_create() and fsnotify_mkdir(). Ccing David Woodhouse.

7b159fc18d NFS: Fall back to synchronous writes when a background write errors...
This helps prevent huge queues of background writes from building up
whenever the server runs out of disk or quota space, or if someone changes
the file access modes behind our backs.

ed90ef51a3 NFS: Clean up NFS writeback flush code
The only user of nfs_sync_mapping_range() is nfs_getattr(), which uses it
to flush out the entire inode without sending a commit. We therefore
replace nfs_sync_mapping_range with a more appropriate helper.
