* cifs: convert oplock breaks to use slow_work facility (try #4)Jeff Layton2009-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the fourth respin of the patch to convert oplock breaks to use the slow_work facility. A customer of ours was testing a backport of one of the earlier patchsets, and hit a "Busy inodes after umount..." problem. An oplock break job had raced with a umount, and the superblock got torn down and its memory reused. When the oplock break job tried to dereference the inode->i_sb, the kernel oopsed. This patchset has the oplock break job hold an inode and vfsmount reference until the oplock break completes. With this, there should be no need to take a tcon reference (the vfsmount implicitly holds one already). Currently, when an oplock break comes in there's a chance that the oplock break job won't occur if the allocation of the oplock_q_entry fails. There are also some rather nasty races in the allocation and handling these structs. Rather than allocating oplock queue entries when an oplock break comes in, add a few extra fields to the cifsFileInfo struct. Get rid of the dedicated cifs_oplock_thread as well and queue the oplock break job to the slow_work thread pool. This approach also has the advantage that the oplock break jobs can potentially run in parallel rather than be serialized like they are today.

* cifs: protect GlobalOplock_Q with its own spinlockJeff Layton2009-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | Right now, the GlobalOplock_Q is protected by the GlobalMid_Lock. That lock is also used for completely unrelated purposes (mostly for managing the global mid queue). Give the list its own dedicated spinlock (cifs_oplock_lock) and rename the list to cifs_oplock_list to eliminate the camel-case.

* [CIFS] Make socket retry timeouts consistent between blocking and ↵Steve French2009-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | nonblocking cases We have used approximately 15 second timeouts on nonblocking sends in the past, and also 15 second SMB timeout (waiting for server responses, for most request types). Now that we can do blocking tcp sends, make blocking send timeout approximately the same (15 seconds). Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
* cifs: turn smb_send into a wrapper around smb_sendvJeff Layton2009-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cifs: turn smb_send into a wrapper around smb_sendv Rename smb_send2 to smb_sendv to make it consistent with kernel naming conventions for functions that take a vector. There's no need to have 2 functions to handle sending SMB calls. Turn smb_send into a wrapper around smb_sendv. This also allows us to properly mark the socket as needing to be reconnected when there's a partial send from smb_send. Also, in practice we always use the address and noblocksnd flag that's attached to the TCP_Server_Info. There's no need to pass them in as separate args to smb_sendv.

* cifs: fix wait_for_response to time out sleeping processes correctlyJeff Layton2008-12-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cifs: fix wait_for_response to time out sleeping processes correctly The current scheme that CIFS uses to sleep and wait for a response is not quite what we want. After sending a request, wait_for_response puts the task to sleep with wait_event(). One of the conditions for wait_event is a timeout (using time_after()). The problem with this is that there is no guarantee that the process will ever be woken back up. If the server stops sending data, then cifs_demultiplex_thread will leave its response queue sleeping. I think the only thing that saves us here is the fact that cifs_dnotify_thread periodically (every 15s) wakes up sleeping processes on all response_q's that have calls in flight. This makes for unnecessary wakeups of some processes. It also means large variability in the timeouts since they're all woken up at once. Instead of this, put the tasks to sleep with wait_event_timeout. This makes them wake up on their own if they time out. With this change, cifs_dnotify_thread should no longer be needed. I've been testing this in conjunction with some other patches that I'm working on. It doesn't seem to affect performance at all with with heavy I/O. Identical iozone -ac runs complete in almost exactly the same time (<1% difference in times). Thanks to Wasrshi Nimara for initially pointing this out. Wasrshi, it would be nice to know whether this patch also helps your testcase.

* [CIFS] Reduce number of socket retries in large write pathSteve French2008-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CIFS in some heavy stress conditions cifs could get EAGAIN repeatedly in smb_send2 which led to repeated retries and eventually failure of large writes which could lead to data corruption. There are three changes that were suggested by various network developers: 1) convert cifs from non-blocking to blocking tcp sendmsg (we left in the retry on failure) 2) change cifs to not set sendbuf and rcvbuf size for the socket (let tcp autotune the buffer sizes since that works much better in the TCP stack now) 3) if we have a partial frame sent in smb_send2, mark the tcp session as invalid (close the socket and reconnect) so we do not corrupt the remaining part of the SMB with the beginning of the next SMB. This does not appear to hurt performance measurably and has been run in various scenarios, but it definately removes a corruption that we were seeing in some high stress test cases.
