* NFS: Add mount options to enable local caching on NFSDavid Howells2009-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add NFS mount options to allow the local caching support to be enabled. The attached patch makes it possible for the NFS filesystem to be told to make use of the network filesystem local caching service (FS-Cache). To be able to use this, a recent nfsutils package is required. There are three variant NFS mount options that can be added to a mount command to control caching for a mount. Only the last one specified takes effect: (*) Adding "fsc" will request caching. (*) Adding "fsc=<string>" will request caching and also specify a uniquifier. (*) Adding "nofsc" will disable caching. For example: mount warthog:/ /a -o fsc The cache of a particular superblock (NFS FSID) will be shared between all mounts of that volume, provided they have the same connection parameters and are not marked 'nosharecache'. Where it is otherwise impossible to distinguish superblocks because all the parameters are identical, but the 'nosharecache' option is supplied, a uniquifying string must be supplied, else only the first mount will be permitted to use the cache. If there's a key collision, then the second mount will disable caching and give a warning into the kernel log.

* NFS: Define and create inode-level cache objectsDavid Howells2009-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Define and create inode-level cache data storage objects (as managed by nfs_inode structs). Each inode-level object is created in a superblock-level index object and is itself a data storage object into which pages from the inode are stored. The inode object key is the NFS file handle for the inode. The inode object is given coherency data to carry in the auxiliary data permitted by the cache. This is a sequence made up of: (1) i_mtime from the NFS inode. (2) i_ctime from the NFS inode. (3) i_size from the NFS inode. (4) change_attr from the NFSv4 attribute data. As the cache is a persistent cache, the auxiliary data is checked when a new NFS in-memory inode is set up that matches an already existing data storage object in the cache. If the coherency data is the same, the on-disk object is retained and used; if not, it is scrapped and a new one created.

* NFS: Define and create superblock-level objectsDavid Howells2009-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Define and create superblock-level cache index objects (as managed by nfs_server structs). Each superblock object is created in a server level index object and is itself an index into which inode-level objects are inserted. Ideally there would be one superblock-level object per server, and the former would be folded into the latter; however, since the "nosharecache" option exists this isn't possible. The superblock object key is a sequence consisting of: (1) Certain superblock s_flags. (2) Various connection parameters that serve to distinguish superblocks for sget(). (3) The volume FSID. (4) The security flavour. (5) The uniquifier length. (6) The uniquifier text. This is normally an empty string, unless the fsc=xyz mount option was used to explicitly specify a uniquifier. The key blob is of variable length, depending on the length of (6). The superblock object is given no coherency data to carry in the auxiliary data permitted by the cache. It is assumed that the superblock is always coherent. This patch also adds uniquification handling such that two otherwise identical superblocks, at least one of which is marked "nosharecache", won't end up trying to share the on-disk cache. It will be possible to manually provide a uniquifier through a mount option with a later patch to avoid the error otherwise produced.

They do this by blacklisting the ipv6.ko module. This causes the creation of the NFSv4 callback service listener to fail if CONFIG_IPV6_MODULE is set, but the module cannot be loaded. Now that the kernel's PF_INET6 RPC listeners are completely separate from PF_INET listeners, we can always start PF_INET. Then the NFS client can try to start a PF_INET6 listener, but it isn't required to be available.

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.

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

There should be no functional change. This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to the VM (and also can provide more information eg. virtual_address to the driver, which might be important in some special cases). This is required for a subsequent fix. And will also make it easier to merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Addresses: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11061 sockaddr structures can't be reliably compared using memcmp() because there are padding bytes in the structure which can't be guaranteed to be the same even when the sockaddr structures refer to the same socket. Instead compare all the relevant fields. In the case of IPv6 sin6_flowinfo is not compared because it only affects QoS and sin6_scope_id is only compared if the address is "link local" because "link local" addresses need only be unique to a specific link.

* NFS: Handle -ESTALE error in access()Suresh Jayaraman2009-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hi Trond, I have been looking at a bugreport where trying to open applications on KDE on a NFS mounted home fails temporarily. There have been multiple reports on different kernel versions pointing to this common issue: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12557 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269954 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508866.html This issue can be reproducible consistently by doing this on a NFS mounted home (KDE): 1. Open 2 xterm sessions 2. From one of the xterm session, do "ssh -X <remote host>" 3. "stat ~/.Xauthority" on the remote SSH session 4. Close the two xterm sessions 5. On the server do a "stat ~/.Xauthority" 6. Now on the client, try to open xterm This will fail. Even if the filehandle had become stale, the NFS client should invalidate the cache/inode and should repeat LOOKUP. Looking at the packet capture when the failure occurs shows that there were two subsequent ACCESS() calls with the same filehandle and both fails with -ESTALE error. I have tested the fix below. Now the client issue a LOOKUP after the ACCESS() call fails with -ESTALE. If all this makes sense to you, can you consider this for inclusion? Thanks, If the server returns an -ESTALE error due to stale filehandle in response to an ACCESS() call, we need to invalidate the cache and inode so that LOOKUP() can be retried. Without this change, the nfs client retries ACCESS() with the same filehandle, fails again and could lead to temporary failure of applications running on nfs mounted home.
