32a88aa1b6 fs: Assign bdi in super_block
We do this automatically in get_sb_bdev() from the set_bdev_super()
callback. Filesystems that have their own private backing_dev_info
must assign that in ->fill_super().

Note that ->s_bdi assignment is required for proper writeback!

4cfd74fc99 NFS: Mount option parser should detect missing "port="
The meaning of not specifying the "port=" mount option is different
for "-t nfs" and "-t nfs4" mounts.  The default port value for
NFSv2/v3 mounts is 0, but the default for NFSv4 mounts is 2049.

To support "-t nfs -o vers=4", the mount option parser must detect
when "port=" is missing so that the correct default port value can be
set depending on which NFS version is requested.

dbab8360ed NFS: out of date comment regarding O_EXCL above nfs3_proc_create()
Hi Trond,

Recently we were observing the behaviour difference between a 2.4.x and
2.6.x kernel with respect to O_EXCL. A comment from 2.4.x era, "For now,
we don't implement O_EXCL." seems inaccurate in TOT.

If so, here's a patch to remove the comment.

This patch is against:

7111dc7392 NFSv4: Fix an infinite looping problem with the nfs4_state_manager
Commit 76db6d9500 (nfs41: add session setup
to the state manager) introduces an infinite loop possibility in the NFSv4
state manager. By first checking nfs4_has_session() before clearing the
NFS4CLNT_SESSION_SETUP flag, it allows for a situation where someone sets
that flag, but it never gets cleared, and so the state manager loops.

In fact commit c3fad1b1aa (nfs41: add session
reset to state manager) causes this to happen every time we get a network
partition error.

5eecfde615 NFS: Handle a zero-length auth flavor list
Some releases of Linux rpc.mountd (nfs-utils 1.1.4 and later) return an
empty auth flavor list if no sec= was specified for the export.  This is
notably broken server behavior.

The new auth flavor list checking added in a recent commit rejects this
case.  The OpenSolaris client does too.

The broken mountd implementation is already widely deployed.  To avoid
a behavioral regression, the kernel's mount client skips flavor checking
(ie reverts to the pre-2.6.32 behavior) if mountd returns an empty
flavor list.

1ae88b2e44 NFS: Fix an O_DIRECT Oops...
We can't call nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release() without
first initialising and referencing args.context. Doing so inside
nfs_direct_read_schedule_segment()/nfs_direct_write_schedule_segment()
causes an Oops.

We should rather be calling nfs_readdata_free()/nfs_writedata_free() in
those cases.

Looking at the O_DIRECT code, the "struct nfs_direct_req" is already
referencing the nfs_open_context for us. Since the readdata and writedata
structures carry a reference to that, we can simplify things by getting rid
of the extra nfs_open_context references, so that we can replace all
instances of nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release().

38c73044f5 NFS: read-modify-write page updating
Hi.

I have a proposal for possibly resolving this issue.

I believe that this situation occurs due to the way that the
Linux NFS client handles writes which modify partial pages.

The Linux NFS client handles partial page modifications by
allocating a page from the page cache, copying the data from
the user level into the page, and then keeping track of the
offset and length of the modified portions of the page.  The
page is not marked as up to date because there are portions
of the page which do not contain valid file contents.

When a read call comes in for a portion of the page, the
contents of the page must be read in the from the server.
However, since the page may already contain some modified
data, that modified data must be written to the server
before the file contents can be read back in the from server.
And, since the writing and reading can not be done atomically,
the data must be written and committed to stable storage on
the server for safety purposes.  This means either a
FILE_SYNC WRITE or a UNSTABLE WRITE followed by a COMMIT.
This has been discussed at length previously.

This algorithm could be described as modify-write-read.  It
is most efficient when the application only updates pages
and does not read them.

My proposed solution is to add a heuristic to decide whether
to do this modify-write-read algorithm or switch to a read-
modify-write algorithm when initially allocating the page
in the write system call path.  The heuristic uses the modes
that the file was opened with, the offset in the page to
read from, and the size of the region to read.

If the file was opened for reading in addition to writing
and the page would not be filled completely with data from
the user level, then read in the old contents of the page
and mark it as Uptodate before copying in the new data.  If
the page would be completely filled with data from the user
level, then there would be no reason to read in the old
contents because they would just be copied over.

This would optimize for applications which randomly access
and update portions of files.  The linkage editor for the
C compiler is an example of such a thing.

I tested the attached patch by using rpmbuild to build the
current Fedora rawhide kernel.  The kernel without the
patch generated about 269,500 WRITE requests.  The modified
kernel containing the patch generated about 261,000 WRITE
requests.  Thus, about 8,500 fewer WRITE requests were
generated.  I suspect that many of these additional
WRITE requests were probably FILE_SYNC requests to WRITE
a single page, but I didn't test this theory.

The difference between this patch and the previous one was
to remove the unneeded PageDirty() test.  I then retested to
ensure that the resulting system continued to behave as
desired.

	Thanx...

a02d692611 SUNRPC: Provide functions for managing universal addresses
Introduce a set of functions in the kernel's RPC implementation for
converting between a socket address and either a standard
presentation address string or an RPC universal address.

The universal address functions will be used to encode and decode
RPCB_FOO and NFSv4 SETCLIENTID arguments.  The other functions are
part of a previous promise to deliver shared functions that can be
used by upper-layer protocols to display and manipulate IP
addresses.

The kernel's current address printf formatters were designed
specifically for kernel to user-space APIs that require a particular
string format for socket addresses, thus are somewhat limited for the
purposes of sunrpc.ko.  The formatter for IPv6 addresses, %pI6, does
not support short-handing or scope IDs.  Also, these printf formatters
are unique per address family, so a separate formatter string is
required for printing AF_INET and AF_INET6 addresses.

ec88f28d1e NFS: Use the authentication flavor list returned by mountd
Commit a14017db added support in the kernel's NFS mount client to
decode the authentication flavor list returned by mountd.

The NFS client can now use this list to determine whether the
authentication flavor requested by the user is actually supported
by the server.

Note we don't actually negotiate the security flavor if none was
specified by the user.  Instead, we try to use AUTH_SYS, and fail if
the server does not support it.  This prevents us from negotiating
an inappropriate security flavor (some servers list AUTH_NULL first).

If the server does not support AUTH_SYS, the user must provide an
appropriate security flavor by specifying the "sec=" mount option.

059f90b323 NFS: Fix auth flavor len accounting
Previous logic in the NFS mount parsing code path assumed
auth_flavor_len was set to zero for simple authentication flavors
(like AUTH_UNIX), and 1 for compound flavors (like AUTH_GSS).

At some earlier point (maybe even before the option parsers were
merged?) specific checks for auth_flavor_len being zero were removed
from the functions that validate the mount option that sets the mount
point's authentication flavor.

Since we are populating an array for authentication flavors, the
auth_flavor_len should always be set to the number of flavors.  Let's
eliminate some cleverness here, and prepare for new logic that needs
to know the number of flavors in the auth_flavors[] array.

(auth_flavors[] is an array because at some point we want to allow a
list of acceptable authentication flavors to be specified via the sec=
mount option.  For now it remains a single element array).

0b524123c9 NFS: Add ability to send MOUNTPROC_UMNT to the kernel's mountd client
After certain failure modes of an NFS mount, an NFS client should send
a MOUNTPROC_UMNT request to remove the just-added mount entry from the
server's mount table.  While no-one should rely on the accuracy of the
server's mount table, sending a UMNT is simply being a good internet
neighbor.

Since NFS mount processing is handled in the kernel now, we will need
a function in the kernel's mountd client that can post a MOUNTRPC_UMNT
request, in order to handle these failure modes.

f3f4f4ed26 NFS: Fix up new minorversion= option
The new minorversion= mount option (commit 3fd5be9e) was merged at
the same time as the recent sloppy parser fixes (commit a5a16bae),
so minorversion= still uses the old value parsing logic.

If the minorversion= option specifies a bogus value, it should fail
with "bad value" not "bad option."
