Hi.
I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where
a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0"
mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were
seeing in the file attributes. It turned out that this solution
did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local
attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out.
(With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always
appear to be timed out.)
In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem
is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one
error in it. It is assuming that the cache is valid in the
region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo]. The
cache should be considered valid only in the region,
[read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo). With this
change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally
expected.
This problem was previously addressed by special casing the
attrtimeo == 0 case. However, since the problem is only an off-
by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one
error and thus, not require the special case.
Thanx...

The most important property we need from nfs_attr_generation_counter is
monotonicity, which is not guaranteed by the current system of smp memory
barriers. We should convert it to an atomic_long_t, and drop the memory
barriers.

The cache_change_attribute is used to decide whether or not a directory has
changed, in which case we may need to look it up again. Again, the use of
'jiffies' leads to an issue of resolution.
Once again, the fix is to change nfs_inode->cache_change_attribute, and
just make it a simple counter.

It appears that 'jiffies' timestamps do not have high enough resolution for
nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(). One problem is that a GETATTR can be
launched within < 1 jiffy of the last operation that updated the attribute.
Another problem is that RPC calls can take < 1 jiffy to execute.
We can fix this by switching the variables to use a simple global counter
that gets incremented every time we start another GETATTR call.

This fixes a regression seen when running the Connectathon testsuite
against an ext3 filesystem. The reason was that the inode was constantly
being marked as 'just updated' by the jiffy wraparound test.
This again meant that newer GETATTR calls were failing to pass the
nfs_inode_attrs_need_update() test unless the changes caused a ctime update
on the server, since they were perceived as having been started before the
latest inode update.
Given that nfs_inode_attrs_need_update() already checks for wraparound
of nfsi->last_updated, we can drop the buggy "protection" in
nfs_update_inode().
Also make a slight micro-optimisation of nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(): we
are more often going to see time_after(fattr->time_start, nfsi->last_updated)
be true, rather than seeing an update of ctime/size, so put that test
first to ensure that we optimise away the ctime/size tests.

Currently, if two processes are both trying to revalidate metadata for the
same inode, they will find themselves being serialised. There is no good
justification for this now that we have improved our ability to detect
stale attribute data, so we should remove that serialisation.

If we're merely checking the inode attributes because we suspect that the

be doing weak cache consistency updates or clearing the cache_validity

In the case where there are parallel RPC calls to the same inode, we may
receive stale metadata due to the lack of ordering, hence the sanity
checking of metadata in nfs_refresh_inode().
Currently, __nfs_revalidate_inode() is calling nfs_update_inode() directly,
without any further sanity checks, and hence may end up setting the inode
up with stale metadata.
Fix is to use nfs_refresh_inode() instead of nfs_update_inode().

If we believe that the attributes are old (see nfs_refresh_inode()), then
we shouldn't force an update.
Also ensure that we hold the inode->i_lock across attribute checks and the
call to nfs_refresh_inode_locked() to ensure that we don't race with other
attribute updates.

Currently nfs_refresh_inode() will only update the inode metadata if it
sees that the RPC call that returned the nfs_fattr was started
after the last update of the inode. This means that if we have parallel
RPC calls to the same inode (when sending WRITE calls, for instance), we
may often miss updates.
This patch attempts to recover those missed updates by also accepting
them if the ctime in the nfs_fattr is more recent than the inode's
cached ctime.
It also recovers the case where the file size has increased, but the
ctime has not been updated due to limited ctime resolution.

Try to avoid taking and dropping the inode->i_lock more than once. Do so by
moving the code in nfs_refresh_inode() that needs to be done under the
spinlock into a function nfs_refresh_inode_locked(), and then having both
nfs_refresh_inode() and nfs_post_op_update_inode() call it directly.

The main problem is dealing with inode->i_size: we need to set the
inode->i_lock on all attribute updates, and so vmtruncate won't cut it.
Make an NFS-private version of vmtruncate that has the necessary locking
semantics.
The result should be that the following inode attribute updates are
protected by inode->i_lock
nfsi->cache_validity
nfsi->read_cache_jiffies
nfsi->attrtimeo
nfsi->attrtimeo_timestamp
nfsi->change_attr

Both the 'noac' and 'actimeo=0' mount options should ensure that attributes
are not cached, however a bug in nfs_attribute_timeout() means that
currently, the attributes may in fact get cached for up to one jiffy. This
has been seen to cause corruption in some applications.
The reason for the bug is that the time_in_range() test returns 'true' as
long as the current time lies between nfsi->read_cache_jiffies and
nfsi->read_cache_jiffies + nfsi->attrtimeo. In other words, if jiffies
equals nfsi->read_cache_jiffies, then we still cache the attribute data.

The NFSv4 protocol allows clients to negotiate security protocols on the
fly in the case where an administrator on the server changes the export
settings and/or in the case where we may have a filesystem migration event.
Instead of having the NFS client code cache credentials that are tied to a
particular AUTH method it is therefore preferable to have a generic credential
that can be converted into whatever AUTH is in use by the RPC client when
the read/write/sillyrename/... is put on the wire.
We do this by means of the new "generic" credential, which basically just
caches the minimal information that is needed to look up an RPCSEC_GSS,
AUTH_SYS, or AUTH_NULL credential.

NFS post-rpciod cleanups often involve tasks that cannot be safely
performed within the rpciod context (due to deadlock concerns). We
therefore add a dedicated NFS workqueue that can perform tasks like
cleaning up state after an interrupted NFSv4 open() call, or calling
put_nfs_open_context() after an asynchronous read or write call.

We can't allow rpc callback functions like task->tk_ops->rpc_call_prepare()
and task->tk_ops->rpc_call_done() to call mntput() in any way, since
that will cause a deadlock when the call to rpc_shutdown_client() attempts
to wait on 'task' to complete.
We can avoid the above deadlock by moving calls to mntput to
task->tk_ops->rpc_release() callback, since at that time the task will be
marked as completed, and so rpc_shutdown_client won't attempt to wait on
it.

When we detect that we've crossed a mountpoint on the remote server, we
must take care not to use that inode to revalidate the fsid on our
current superblock. To do so, we label the inode as a remote mountpoint,
and check for that in nfs_update_inode().

POSIX requires that ctime and mtime, as reported by the stat(2) call,
reflect the activity of the most recent write(2). To that end, nfs_getattr()
flushes pending dirty writes to a file before doing a GETATTR to allow the
NFS server to set the file's size, ctime, and mtime properly.
However, nfs_getattr() can be starved when a constant stream of application
writes to a file prevents nfs_wb_nocommit() from completing. This usually
results in hangs of programs doing a stat against an NFS file that is being
written. "ls -l" is a common victim of this behavior.
To prevent starvation, hold the file's i_mutex in nfs_getattr() to
freeze applications writes temporarily so the client can more quickly obtain
clean values for a file's size, mtime, and ctime.

Everywhere else in the NFS client I checked already correctly converts the

lookup() and sillyrename() can race one another because the sillyrename()
completion cannot take the parent directory's inode->i_mutex since the
latter may be held by whoever is calling dput().
We therefore have little option but to add extra locking to ensure that
nfs_lookup() and nfs_atomic_open() do not race with the sillyrename
completion.
If somebody has looked up the sillyrenamed file in the meantime, we just
transfer the sillydelete information to the new dentry.
