* NFSv4: Allow attribute caching with 'noac' mounts if client holds a delegationTrond Myklebust2010-05-14

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

| * make sure data is on disk before calling ->write_inodeChristoph Hellwig2010-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Similar to the fsync issue fixed a while ago in commit 2daea67e966dc0c42067ebea015ddac6834cef88 we need to write for data to actually hit the disk before writing out the metadata to guarantee data integrity for filesystems that modify the inode in the data I/O completion path. Currently XFS and NFS handle this manually, and AFS has a write_inode method that does nothing but waiting for data, while others are possibly missing out on this. Fortunately this change has a lot less impact than the fsync change as none of the write_inode methods starts data writeout of any form by itself.

* | NFS: Make close(2) asynchronous when closing NFS O_DIRECT filesChuck Lever2010-02-10
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For NFSv2 and v3: O_DIRECT writes are always synchronous, and aren't cached, so nothing should be flushed when closing an NFS O_DIRECT file descriptor. Thus there are no write errors to report on close(2). In addition, there's no cached data to verify on the next open(2), so we don't need clean GETATTR results at close time to compare with. Thus, there's no need for the nfs_revalidate_inode() call when closing an NFS O_DIRECT file. This reduces the number of synchronous on-the-wire requests for a simple open-write-close of an NFS O_DIRECT file by roughly 20%. For NFSv4: Call nfs4_do_close() with wait set to zero when closing an NFS O_DIRECT file. The CLOSE will go on the wire, but the application won't wait for it to complete.

* NFSv4: Add 'server capability' flags for NFSv4 recommended attributesTrond Myklebust2009-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If the NFSv4 server doesn't support a POSIX attribute, the generic NFS code needs to know that, so that it don't keep trying to poll for it. However, by the same count, if the NFSv4 server does support that attribute, then we should ensure that the inode metadata is appropriately labelled as being untrusted. For instance, if we don't know the correct value of the file's uid, we should certainly not be caching ACLs or ACCESS results. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

* NFS: Throttle page dirtying while we're flushing to diskTrond Myklebust2009-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch is a combination of a patch by myself and Peter Staubach. Trond: If we allow other processes to dirty pages while a process is doing a consistency sync to disk, we can end up never making progress. Peter: Attached is a patch which addresses a continuing problem with the NFS client generating out of order WRITE requests. While this is compliant with all of the current protocol specifications, there are servers in the market which can not handle out of order WRITE requests very well. Also, this may lead to sub-optimal block allocations in the underlying file system on the server. This may cause the read throughputs to be reduced when reading the file from the server. Peter: There has been a lot of work recently done to address out of order issues on a systemic level. However, the NFS client is still susceptible to the problem. Out of order WRITE requests can occur when pdflush is in the middle of writing out pages while the process dirtying the pages calls generic_file_buffered_write which calls generic_perform_write which calls balance_dirty_pages_rate_limited which ends up calling writeback_inodes which ends up calling back into the NFS client to writes out dirty pages for the same file that pdflush happens to be working with.

* NFS: flush cached directory information slightly more readily.NeilBrown2009-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If cached directory contents becomes incorrect, there is no way to flush the contents. This contrasts with files where file locking is the recommended way to ensure cache consistency between multiple applications (a read-lock always flushes the cache). Also while changes to files often change the size of the file (thus triggering a cache flush), changes to directories often do not change the apparent size (as the size is often rounded to a block size). So it is particularly important with directories to avoid the possibility of an incorrect cache wherever possible. When the link count on a directory changes it implies a change in the number of child directories, and so a change in the contents of this directory. So use that as a trigger to flush cached contents. When the ctime changes but the mtime does not, there are two possible reasons. 1/ The owner/mode information has been changed. 2/ utimes has been used to set the mtime backwards. In the first case, a data-cache flush is not required. In the second case it is. So on the basis that correctness trumps performance, flush the directory contents cache in this case also.

* optimize attribute timeouts for "noac" and "actimeo=0"Peter Staubach2008-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

* NFS: Fix attribute updatesTrond Myklebust2008-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* NFS: Fix the NFS attribute updateTrond Myklebust2008-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

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 nfsi->last_updated nfsi->cache_change_attribute nfsi->access_cache nfsi->access_cache_entry_lru nfsi->access_cache_inode_lru nfsi->acl_access nfsi->acl_default nfsi->nfs_page_tree nfsi->ncommit nfsi->npages nfsi->open_files nfsi->silly_list nfsi->acl nfsi->open_states inode->i_size inode->i_atime inode->i_mtime inode->i_ctime inode->i_nlink inode->i_uid inode->i_gid The following is protected by dir->i_mutex nfsi->cookieverf Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
