* truncate: use new helpersnpiggin@suse.de2009-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update some fs code to make use of new helper functions introduced in the previous patch. Should be no significant change in behaviour (except CIFS now calls send_sig under i_lock, via inode_newsize_ok).

* NFS: Add a dns resolver for use with NFSv4 referrals and migrationTrond Myklebust2009-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The NFSv4 and NFSv4.1 protocols both allow for the redirection of a client from one server to another in order to support filesystem migration and replication. For full protocol support, we need to add the ability to convert a DNS host name into an IP address that we can feed to the RPC client. We'll reuse the sunrpc cache, now that it has been converted to work with rpc_pipefs. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* 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: Optimise NFS close()Trond Myklebust2009-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | Close-to-open cache consistency rules really only require us to flush out writes on calls to close(), and require us to revalidate attributes on the very last close of the file. Currently we appear to be doing a lot of extra attribute revalidation and cache flushes. 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | Currently, filling struct nfs_fattr is more or less an all or nothing operation, since NFSv2 and NFSv3 have only mandatory attributes. In NFSv4, some attributes are optional, and so we may simply not be able to fill in those fields. Furthermore, NFSv4 allows you to specify which attributes you are interested in retrieving, thus permitting you to optimise away retrieval of attributes that you know will no change...

* 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.

* NFS: Fix a resolution problem with nfs_inode->cache_change_attributeTrond Myklebust2008-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* NFS: Fix the resolution problem with nfs_inode_attrs_need_update()Trond Myklebust2008-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

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

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | NFS: Ensure nfs_wcc_update_inode always converts file size to loff_tChuck Lever2008-01-30
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | The nfs_wcc_update_inode() function omits logic to convert the type of the NFS on-the-wire value of a file's size (__u64) to the type of file size value stored in struct inode (loff_t, which is signed). Everywhere else in the NFS client I checked already correctly converts the file size type. This effects only very large files.
