* [PATCH] Really ignore kmem_cache_destroy return valueAlexey Dobriyan2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Rougly half of callers already do it by not checking return value * Code in drivers/acpi/osl.c does the following to be sure: (void)kmem_cache_destroy(cache); * Those who check it printk something, however, slab_error already printed the name of failed cache. * XFS BUGs on failed kmem_cache_destroy which is not the decision low-level filesystem driver should make.

* [PATCH] Allow file systems to manually d_move() inside of ->rename()Mark Fasheh2006-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some file systems want to manually d_move() the dentries involved in a rename. We can do this by making use of the FS_ODD_RENAME flag if we just have nfs_rename() unconditionally do the d_move(). While there, we rename the flag to be more descriptive. OCFS2 uses this to protect that part of the rename operation with a cluster lock.

| | | | | | | | | RFC3530 states that the registered port 2049 for the NFS protocol should be the default configuration in order to allow clients not to use the RPC binding protocols.

* NFS: nfs_lookup - don't hash dentry when optimising away the lookupTrond Myklebust2006-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the open intents tell us that a given lookup is going to result in a, exclusive create, we currently optimize away the lookup call itself. The reason is that the lookup would not be atomic with the create RPC call, so why do it in the first place? A problem occurs, however, if the VFS aborts the exclusive create operation after the lookup, but before the call to create the file/directory: in this case we will end up with a hashed negative dentry in the dcache that has never been looked up. Fix this by only actually hashing the dentry once the create operation has been successfully completed. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

* NFS: Fix double d_drop in nfs_instantiate() error pathChuck Lever2006-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the LOOKUP or GETATTR in nfs_instantiate fail, nfs_instantiate will do a d_drop before returning. But some callers already do a d_drop in the case of an error return. Make certain we do only one d_drop in all error paths. This issue was introduced because over time, the symlink proc API diverged slightly from the create/mkdir/mknod proc API. To prevent other coding mistakes of this type, change the symlink proc API to be more like create/mkdir/mknod and move the nfs_instantiate call into the symlink proc routines so it is used in exactly the same way for create, mkdir, mknod, and symlink.

* NFS: remove a no-longer-needed error check in nfs_symlink()Chuck Lever2006-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the early days of NFS, there was no duplicate reply cache on the server. Thus retransmitted non-idempotent requests often found that the request had already completed on the server. To avoid passing an unanticipated return code to unsuspecting applications, NFS clients would often shunt error codes that implied the request had been retried but already completed. Thanks to NFS over TCP, duplicate reply caches on the server, and network performance and reliability improvements, it is safe to remove such checks. Test plan: None.

* NFS: Share NFS superblocks per-protocol per-server per-FSIDDavid Howells2006-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch makes NFS share superblocks between mounts from the same server and FSID over the same protocol. It does this by creating each superblock with a false root and returning the real root dentry in the vfsmount presented by get_sb(). The root dentry set starts off as an anonymous dentry if we don't already have the dentry for its inode, otherwise it simply returns the dentry we already have. We may thus end up with several trees of dentries in the superblock, and if at some later point one of anonymous tree roots is discovered by normal filesystem activity to be located in another tree within the superblock, the anonymous root is named and materialises attached to the second tree at the appropriate point. Why do it this way? Why not pass an extra argument to the mount() syscall to indicate the subpath and then pathwalk from the server root to the desired directory? You can't guarantee this will work for two reasons: (1) The root and intervening nodes may not be accessible to the client. With NFS2 and NFS3, for instance, mountd is called on the server to get the filehandle for the tip of a path. mountd won't give us handles for anything we don't have permission to access, and so we can't set up NFS inodes for such nodes, and so can't easily set up dentries (we'd have to have ghost inodes or something). With this patch we don't actually create dentries until we get handles from the server that we can use to set up their inodes, and we don't actually bind them into the tree until we know for sure where they go. (2) Inaccessible symbolic links. If we're asked to mount two exports from the server, eg: mount warthog:/warthog/aaa/xxx /mmm mount warthog:/warthog/bbb/yyy /nnn We may not be able to access anything nearer the root than xxx and yyy, but we may find out later that /mmm/www/yyy, say, is actually the same directory as the one mounted on /nnn. What we might then find out, for example, is that /warthog/bbb was actually a symbolic link to /warthog/aaa/xxx/www, but we can't actually determine that by talking to the server until /warthog is made available by NFS. This would lead to having constructed an errneous dentry tree which we can't easily fix. We can end up with a dentry marked as a directory when it should actually be a symlink, or we could end up with an apparently hardlinked directory. With this patch we need not make assumptions about the type of a dentry for which we can't retrieve information, nor need we assume we know its place in the grand scheme of things until we actually see that place. This patch reduces the possibility of aliasing in the inode and page caches for inodes that may be accessed by more than one NFS export. It also reduces the number of superblocks required for NFS where there are many NFS exports being used from a server (home directory server + autofs for example). This in turn makes it simpler to do local caching of network filesystems, as it can then be guaranteed that there won't be links from multiple inodes in separate superblocks to the same cache file. Obviously, cache aliasing between different levels of NFS protocol could still be a problem, but at least that gives us another key to use when indexing the cache. This patch makes the following changes: (1) The server record construction/destruction has been abstracted out into its own set of functions to make things easier to get right. These have been moved into fs/nfs/client.c. All the code in fs/nfs/client.c has to do with the management of connections to servers, and doesn't touch superblocks in any way; the remaining code in fs/nfs/super.c has to do with VFS superblock management. (2) The sequence of events undertaken by NFS mount is now reordered: (a) A volume representation (struct nfs_server) is allocated. (b) A server representation (struct nfs_client) is acquired. This may be allocated or shared, and is keyed on server address, port and NFS version. (c) If allocated, the client representation is initialised. The state member variable of nfs_client is used to prevent a race during initialisation from two mounts. (d) For NFS4 a simple pathwalk is performed, walking from FH to FH to find the root filehandle for the mount (fs/nfs/getroot.c). For NFS2/3 we are given the root FH in advance. (e) The volume FSID is probed for on the root FH. (f) The volume representation is initialised from the FSINFO record retrieved on the root FH. (g) sget() is called to acquire a superblock. This may be allocated or shared, keyed on client pointer and FSID. (h) If allocated, the superblock is initialised. (i) If the superblock is shared, then the new nfs_server record is discarded. (j) The root dentry for this mount is looked up from the root FH. (k) The root dentry for this mount is assigned to the vfsmount. (3) nfs_readdir_lookup() creates dentries for each of the entries readdir() returns; this function now attaches disconnected trees from alternate roots that happen to be discovered attached to a directory being read (in the same way nfs_lookup() is made to do for lookup ops). The new d_materialise_unique() function is now used to do this, thus permitting the whole thing to be done under one set of locks, and thus avoiding any race between mount and lookup operations on the same directory. (4) The client management code uses a new debug facility: NFSDBG_CLIENT which is set by echoing 1024 to /proc/net/sunrpc/nfs_debug. (5) Clone mounts are now called xdev mounts. (6) Use the dentry passed to the statfs() op as the handle for retrieving fs statistics rather than the root dentry of the superblock (which is now a dummy).

The retransmission management variables are also moved to the common struct as they're required to set up the cl_rpcclient connection. The NFS2/3 client and client_acl connections are thenceforth derived by cloning the cl_rpcclient connection and post-applying the authorisation flavour. The code for setting up the initial common connection has been moved to client.c as nfs_create_rpc_client(). All the NFS program definition tables are also moved there as that's where they're now required rather than super.c.
