* nfsd41: create_session operationAndy Adamson2009-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the create_session operation confoming to http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-minorversion1-26 Look up the client id (generated by the server on exchange_id, given by the client on create_session). If neither a confirmed or unconfirmed client is found then the client id is stale If a confirmed cilent is found (i.e. we already received create_session for it) then compare the sequence id to determine if it's a replay or possibly a mis-ordered rpc. If the seqid is in order, update the confirmed client seqid and procedd with updating the session parameters. If an unconfirmed client_id is found then verify the creds and seqid. If both match move the client id to confirmed state and proceed with processing the create_session. Currently, we do not support persistent sessions, and RDMA. alloc_init_session generates a new sessionid and creates a session structure. NFSD_PAGES_PER_SLOT is used for the max response cached calculation, and for the counting of DRC pages using the hard limits set in struct srv_serv. A note on NFSD_PAGES_PER_SLOT: Other patches in this series allow for NFSD_PAGES_PER_SLOT + 1 pages to be cached in a DRC slot when the response size is less than NFSD_PAGES_PER_SLOT * PAGE_SIZE but xdr_buf pages are used. e.g. a READDIR operation will encode a small amount of data in the xdr_buf head, and then the READDIR in the xdr_buf pages. So, the hard limit calculation use of pages by a session is underestimated by the number of cached operations using the xdr_buf pages. Yet another patch caches no pages for the solo sequence operation, or any compound where cache_this is False. So the hard limit calculation use of pages by a session is overestimated by the number of these operations in the cache. TODO: improve resource pre-allocation and negotiate session parameters accordingly. Respect and possibly adjust backchannel attributes.

* nfsd41: DRC save, restore, and clear functionsAndy Adamson2009-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cache all the result pages, including the rpc header in rq_respages[0], for a request in the slot table cache entry. Cache the statp pointer from nfsd_dispatch which points into rq_respages[0] just past the rpc header. When setting a cache entry, calculate and save the length of the nfs data minus the rpc header for rq_respages[0]. When replaying a cache entry, replace the cached rpc header with the replayed request rpc result header, unless there is not enough room in the cached results first page. In that case, use the cached rpc header. The sessions fore channel maxresponse size cached is set to NFSD_PAGES_PER_SLOT * PAGE_SIZE. For compounds we are cacheing with operations such as READDIR that use the xdr_buf->pages to hold data, we choose to cache the extra page of data rather than copying data from xdr_buf->pages into the xdr_buf->head page.

* nfsd41: exchange_id operationAndy Adamson2009-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the exchange_id operation confoming to http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-minorversion1-28 Based on the client provided name, hash a client id. If a confirmed one is found, compare the op's creds and verifier. If the creds match and the verifier is different then expire the old client (client re-incarnated), otherwise, if both match, assume it's a replay and ignore it. If an unconfirmed client is found, then copy the new creds and verifer if need update, otherwise assume replay. The client is moved to a confirmed state on create_session. In the nfs41 branch set the exchange_id flags to EXCHGID4_FLAG_USE_NON_PNFS | EXCHGID4_FLAG_SUPP_MOVED_REFER (pNFS is not supported, Referrals are supported, Migration is not.). Address various scenarios from section 18.35 of the spec: 1. Check for EXCHGID4_FLAG_UPD_CONFIRMED_REC_A and set EXCHGID4_FLAG_CONFIRMED_R as appropriate. 2. Return error codes per 18.35.4 scenarios. 3. Update client records or generate new client ids depending on scenario. Note: 18.35.4 case 3 probably still needs revisiting.

* nfsd41: sessionid hashingMarc Eshel2009-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simple sessionid hashing using its monotonically increasing sequence number. Locking considerations: sessionid_hashtbl access is controlled by the sessionid_lock spin lock. It must be taken for insert, delete, and lookup. nfsd4_sequence looks up the session id and if the session is found, it calls nfsd4_get_session (still under the sessionid_lock). nfsd4_destroy_session calls nfsd4_put_session after unhashing it, so when the session's kref reaches zero it's going to get freed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is an inconsistency seen in the behaviour of nfs compared to other local filesystems on linux when changing owner or group of a directory. If the directory has SUID/SGID flags set, on changing owner or group on the directory, the flags are stripped off on nfs. These flags are maintained on other filesystems such as ext3. To reproduce on a nfs share or local filesystem, run the following commands mkdir test; chmod +s+g test; chown user1 test; ls -ld test On the nfs share, the flags are stripped and the output seen is drwxr-xr-x 2 user1 root 4096 Feb 23 2009 test On other local filesystems(ex: ext3), the flags are not stripped and the output seen is drwsr-sr-x 2 user1 root 4096 Feb 23 13:57 test chown_common() called from sys_chown() will only strip the flags if the inode is not a directory. static int chown_common(struct dentry * dentry, uid_t user, gid_t group) { .. if (!S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode)) newattrs.ia_valid |= ATTR_KILL_SUID | ATTR_KILL_SGID | ATTR_KILL_PRIV; .. } See: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7990989775/xsh/chown.html "If the path argument refers to a regular file, the set-user-ID (S_ISUID) and set-group-ID (S_ISGID) bits of the file mode are cleared upon successful return from chown(), unless the call is made by a process with appropriate privileges, in which case it is implementation-dependent whether these bits are altered. If chown() is successfully invoked on a file that is not a regular file, these bits may be cleared. These bits are defined in <sys/stat.h>."

* svcrpc: take advantage of tcp autotuningOlga Kornievskaia2009-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow the NFSv4 server to make use of TCP autotuning behaviour, which was previously disabled by setting the sk_userlocks variable. Set the receive buffers to be big enough to receive the whole RPC request, and set this for the listening socket, not the accept socket. Remove the code that readjusts the receive/send buffer sizes for the accepted socket. Previously this code was used to influence the TCP window management behaviour, which is no longer needed when autotuning is enabled. This can improve IO bandwidth on networks with high bandwidth-delay products, where a large tcp window is required. It also simplifies performance tuning, since getting adequate tcp buffers previously required increasing the number of nfsd threads.

* knfsd: avoid overloading the CPU scheduler with enormous load averagesGreg Banks2009-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Avoid overloading the CPU scheduler with enormous load averages when handling high call-rate NFS loads. When the knfsd bottom half is made aware of an incoming call by the socket layer, it tries to choose an nfsd thread and wake it up. As long as there are idle threads, one will be woken up. If there are lot of nfsd threads (a sensible configuration when the server is disk-bound or is running an HSM), there will be many more nfsd threads than CPUs to run them. Under a high call-rate low service-time workload, the result is that almost every nfsd is runnable, but only a handful are actually able to run. This situation causes two significant problems: 1. The CPU scheduler takes over 10% of each CPU, which is robbing the nfsd threads of valuable CPU time. 2. At a high enough load, the nfsd threads starve userspace threads of CPU time, to the point where daemons like portmap and rpc.mountd do not schedule for tens of seconds at a time. Clients attempting to mount an NFS filesystem timeout at the very first step (opening a TCP connection to portmap) because portmap cannot wake up from select() and call accept() in time. Disclaimer: these effects were observed on a SLES9 kernel, modern kernels' schedulers may behave more gracefully. The solution is simple: keep in each svc_pool a counter of the number of threads which have been woken but have not yet run, and do not wake any more if that count reaches an arbitrary small threshold. 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. The server was running 128 nfsds. Profiling showed schedule() taking 6.7% of every CPU, and __wake_up() taking 5.2%. This patch drops those contributions to 3.0% and 2.2%. Load average was over 120 before the patch, and 20.9 after. This patch is a forward-ported version of knfsd-avoid-nfsd-overload which has been shipping in the SGI "Enhanced NFS" product since 2006.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stop gathering the data that feeds the 'th' line in /proc/net/rpc/nfsd because the questionable data provided is not worth the scalability impact of calculating it. Instead, always report zeroes. The current approach suffers from three major issues: 1. update_thread_usage() increments buckets by call service time or call arrival time...in jiffies. On lightly loaded machines, call service times are usually < 1 jiffy; on heavily loaded machines call arrival times will be << 1 jiffy. So a large portion of the updates to the buckets are rounded down to zero, and the histogram is undercounting. 2. As seen previously on the nfs mailing list, the format in which the histogram is presented is cryptic, difficult to explain, and difficult to use. 3. Updating the histogram requires taking a global spinlock and dirtying the global variables nfsd_last_call, nfsd_busy, and nfsdstats *twice* on every RPC call, which is a significant scaling limitation. Testing on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients each doing 1K streaming reads at full line rate, shows the stats update code (inlined into nfsd()) takes about 1.7% of each CPU. This patch drops the contribution from nfsd() into the profile noise. This patch is a forward-ported version of knfsd-remove-nfsd-threadstats which has been shipping in the SGI "Enhanced NFS" product since 2006. In that time, exactly one customer has noticed that the threadstats were missing.

* nfsd4: don't do lookup within readdir in recovery codeJ. Bruce Fields2009-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main nfsd code was recently modified to no longer do lookups from withing the readdir callback, to avoid locking problems on certain filesystems. This (rather hacky, and overdue for replacement) NFSv4 recovery code has the same problem. Fix it to build up a list of names (instead of dentries) and do the lookups afterwards. Reported symptoms were a deadlock in the xfs code (called from nfsd4_recdir_load), with /var/lib/nfs on xfs. Signed-off-by: J.

* nfsd4: support putpubfh operationJ. Bruce Fields2009-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently putpubfh returns NFSERR_OPNOTSUPP, which isn't actually allowed for v4. The right error is probably NFSERR_NOTSUPP. But let's just implement it; though rarely seen, it can be used by Solaris (with a special mount option), is mandated by the rfc, and is trivial for us to support. Thanks to Yang Hongyang for pointing out the original problem, and to Mike Eisler, Tom Talpey, Trond Myklebust, and Dave Noveck for further argument.... Signed-off-by: J.

* Short write in nfsd becomes a full write to the clientDavid Shaw2009-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a filesystem being written to via NFS returns a short write count (as opposed to an error) to nfsd, nfsd treats that as a success for the entire write, rather than the short count that actually succeeded. For example, given a 8192 byte write, if the underlying filesystem only writes 4096 bytes, nfsd will ack back to the nfs client that all 8192 bytes were written. The nfs client does have retry logic for short writes, but this is never called as the client is told the complete write succeeded. There are probably other ways it could happen, but in my case it happened with a fuse (filesystem in userspace) filesystem which can rather easily have a partial write. Here is a patch to properly return the short write count to the client. Signed-off-by: David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
