c18c821fd4 nfsd41: Fix a crash when a callback is retried
If a callback is retried at nfsd4_cb_recall_done() due to
some error, the returned rpc reply crashes here:

@@ -514,6 +514,7 @@ decode_cb_sequence(struct xdr_stream *xdr, struct nfsd4_cb_sequence *res,
 	u32 dummy;
 	__be32 *p;

 +	BUG_ON(!res);
 	if (res->cbs_minorversion == 0)
 		return 0;

[BUG_ON added for demonstration]

This is because the nfsd4_cb_done_sequence() has NULLed out
the task->tk_msg.rpc_resp pointer.

Also eventually the rpc would use the new slot without making
sure it is free by calling nfsd41_cb_setup_sequence().

This problem was introduced by a 4.1 protocol addition patch:
	[0421b5c5] nfsd41: Backchannel: Implement cb_recall over NFSv4.1

Which was overlooking the possibility of an RPC callback retries.
For not-4.1 case redoing the _prepare is harmless.

774f8bbd9e nfsd: fix startup/shutdown order bug
We must create the server before we can call init_socks or check the
number of threads.

Symptoms were a NULL pointer dereference in nfsd_svc().  Problem
identified by Jeff Layton.

Also fix a minor cleanup-on-error case in nfsd_startup().

6904996101 gcc-4.6: nfsd: fix initialized but not read warnings
Fixes at least one real minor bug: the nfs4 recovery dir sysctl
would not return its status properly.

Also I finished Al's 1e41568d73 ("Take ima_path_check() in nfsd
past dentry_open() in nfsd_open()") commit, it moved the IMA
code, but left the old path initializer in there.

The rest is just dead code removed I think, although I was not
fully sure about the "is_borc" stuff. Some more review
would be still good.

Found by gcc 4.6's new warnings.

f9d7562fdb nfsd4: share file descriptors between stateid's
The vfs doesn't really allow us to "upgrade" a file descriptor from
read-only to read-write, and our attempt to do so in nfs4_upgrade_open
is ugly and incomplete.

Move to a different scheme where we keep multiple opens, shared between
open stateid's, in the nfs4_file struct.  Each file will be opened at
most 3 times (for read, write, and read-write), and those opens will be
shared between all clients and openers.  On upgrade we will do another
open if necessary instead of attempting to upgrade an existing open.
We keep count of the number of readers and writers so we know when to
close the shared files.

0292191417 nfsd4: fix openmode checking on IO using lock stateid
It is legal to perform a write using the lock stateid that was
originally associated with a read lock, or with a file that was
originally opened for read, but has since been upgraded.

So, when checking the openmode, check the mode associated with the
open stateid from which the lock was derived.

c3e4808086 nfsd4: don't pretend to support write delegations
The delegation code mostly pretends to support either read or write
delegations.  However, correct support for write delegations would
require, for example, breaking of delegations (and/or implementation of
cb_getattr) on stat.  Currently all that stops us from handing out
delegations is a subtle reference-counting issue.

Avoid confusion by adding an earlier check that explicitly refuses write
delegations.

For now, though, I'm not going so far as to rip out existing
half-support for write delegations, in case we get around to using that
soon.

fa0a21269f nfsd: bypass readahead cache when have struct file
The readahead cache compensates for the fact that the NFS server
currently does an open and close on every IO operation in the NFSv2 and
NFSv3 case.

In the NFSv4 case we have long-lived struct files associated with client
opens, so there's no need for this.  In fact, concurrent IO's using
trying to modify the same file->f_ra may cause problems.

So, don't bother with the readahead cache in that case.

Note eventually we'll likely do this in the v2/v3 case as well by
keeping a cache of struct files instead of struct file_ra_state's.

ac77efbe2b nfsd: just keep single lockd reference for nfsd
Right now, nfsd keeps a lockd reference for each socket that it has
open. This is unnecessary and complicates the error handling on
startup and shutdown. Change it to just do a lockd_up when starting
the first nfsd thread just do a single lockd_down when taking down the
last nfsd thread. Because of the strange way the sv_count is handled
this requires an extra flag to tell whether the nfsd_serv holds a
reference for lockd or not.

0cd14a061e nfsd: fix error handling in __write_ports_addxprt
__write_ports_addxprt calls nfsd_create_serv. That increases the
refcount of nfsd_serv (which is tracked in sv_nrthreads). The service
only decrements the thread count on error, not on success like
__write_ports_addfd does, so using this interface leaves the nfsd
thread count high.

Fix this by having this function call svc_destroy() on error to release
the reference (and possibly to tear down the service) and simply
decrement the refcount without tearing down the service on success.

This makes the sv_threads handling work basically the same in both
__write_ports_addxprt and __write_ports_addfd.

78a8d7c8ca nfsd: fix error handling when starting nfsd with rpcbind down
The refcounting for nfsd is a little goofy. What happens is that we
create the nfsd RPC service, attach sockets to it but don't actually
start the threads until someone writes to the "threads" procfile. To do
this, __write_ports_addfd will create the nfsd service and then will
decrement the refcount when exiting but won't actually destroy the
service.

This is fine when there aren't errors, but when there are this can
cause later attempts to start nfsd to fail. nfsd_serv will be set,
and that causes __write_versions to return EBUSY.

Fix this by calling svc_destroy on nfsd_serv when this function is
going to return error.

4ad9a344be nfsd4: fix v4 state shutdown error paths
If someone tries to shut down the laundry_wq while it isn't up it'll
cause an oops.

This can happen because write_ports can create a nfsd_svc before we
really start the nfs server, and we may fail before the server is ever
started.

Also make sure state is shutdown on error paths in nfsd_svc().

Use a common global nfsd_up flag instead of nfs4_init, and create common
helper functions for nfsd start/shutdown, as there will be other work
that we want done only when we the number of nfsd threads transitions
between zero and nonzero.

43a9aa64a2 NFSD: Fill in WCC data for REMOVE, RMDIR, MKNOD, and MKDIR
Some well-known NFSv3 clients drop their directory entry caches when
they receive replies with no WCC data.  Without this data, they
employ extra READ, LOOKUP, and GETATTR requests to ensure their
directory entry caches are up to date, causing performance to suffer
needlessly.

In order to return WCC data, our server has to have both the pre-op
and the post-op attribute data on hand when a reply is XDR encoded.
The pre-op data is filled in when the incoming fh is locked, and the
post-op data is filled in when the fh is unlocked.

Unfortunately, for REMOVE, RMDIR, MKNOD, and MKDIR, the directory fh
is not unlocked until well after the reply has been XDR encoded.  This
means that encode_wcc_data() does not have wcc_data for the parent
directory, so none is returned to the client after these operations
complete.

By unlocking the parent directory fh immediately after the internal
operations for each NFS procedure is complete, the post-op data is
filled in before XDR encoding starts, so it can be returned to the
client properly.

15c6fd9786 kill spurious reference to vmtruncate
Lots of filesystems calls vmtruncate despite not implementing the old
->truncate method.  Switch them to use simple_setsize and add some
comments about the truncate code where it seems fitting.

7bb46a6734 fs: introduce new truncate sequence
Introduce a new truncate calling sequence into fs/mm subsystems. Rather than
setattr > vmtruncate > truncate, have filesystems call their truncate sequence
from ->setattr if filesystem specific operations are required. vmtruncate is
deprecated, and truncate_pagecache and inode_newsize_ok helpers introduced
previously should be used.

simple_setattr is introduced for simple in-ram filesystems to implement
the new truncate sequence. Eventually all filesystems should be converted
to implement a setattr, and the default code in notify_change should go
away.

simple_setsize is also introduced to perform just the ATTR_SIZE portion
of simple_setattr (ie. changing i_size and trimming pagecache).

To implement the new truncate sequence:
- filesystem specific manipulations (eg freeing blocks) must be done in
  the setattr method rather than ->truncate.
- vmtruncate can not be used by core code to trim blocks past i_size in
  the event of write failure after allocation, so this must be performed
  in the fs code.
- convert usage of helpers block_write_begin, nobh_write_begin,
  cont_write_begin, and *blockdev_direct_IO* to use _newtrunc postfixed
  variants. These avoid calling vmtruncate to trim blocks (see previous).
- inode_setattr should not be used. generic_setattr is a new function
  to be used to copy simple attributes into the generic inode.
- make use of the better opportunity to handle errors with the new sequence.

Big problem with the previous calling sequence: the filesystem is not called
until i_size has already changed.  This means it is not allowed to fail the
call, and also it does not know what the previous i_size was. Also, generic
code calling vmtruncate to truncate allocated blocks in case of error had
no good way to return a meaningful error (or, for example, atomically handle
block deallocation).
