| | * NFSv4: Only increment the sequence id if the server saw itTrond Myklebust2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is quite possible that the OPEN, CLOSE, LOCK, LOCKU,... compounds fail before the actual stateful operation has been executed (for instance in the PUTFH call). There is no way to tell from the overall status result which operations were executed from the COMPOUND. The fix is to move incrementing of the sequence id into the XDR layer, so that we do it as we process the results from the stateful operation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There should be no need to invalidate a perfectly good state owner just because of a stale filehandle.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the case of readpage() we need to ensure that the pages get unlocked, and that the error is flagged. In the case of O_DIRECT, we need to ensure that the pages are all released. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
| | * NFS: Fix nfs_wb_page() to always exit with an error or a clean pageTrond Myklebust2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible for nfs_wb_page() to sometimes exit with 0 return value, yet the page is left in a dirty state. For instance in the case where the server rebooted, and the COMMIT request failed, then all the previously "clean" pages which were cached by the server, but were not guaranteed to have been writted out to disk, have to be redirtied and resent to the server. The fix is to have nfs_wb_page_priority() check that the page is clean before it exits... This fixes a condition that triggers the BUG_ON(PagePrivate(page)) in nfs_create_request() when we're in the nfs_readpage() path. Also eliminate a redundant BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page)) while we're at it. It turns out that clear_page_dirty_for_io() has the exact same test.

Let's save the original setting of the "port=" mount option in the mount's nfs_server structure. This allows us to simplify the default behavior of port setting for NFSv4 mounts: by default, NFSv2/3 mounts first try an RPC bind to determine the NFS server's port, unless the user specified the "port=" mount option; Users can force the client to skip the RPC bind by explicitly specifying "port=<value>". NFSv4, by contrast, assumes the NFS server port is 2049 and skips the RPC bind, unless the user specifies "port=". Users can force an RPC bind for NFSv4 by explicitly specifying "port=0". I added a couple of extra comments to clarify this behavior.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the NFS readdir decoders have a workaround for buggy servers that send an empty readdir response with the EOF bit unset. If the server sends a malformed response in some cases, this workaround kicks in and just returns an empty response rather than returning a proper error to the caller. This patch does 3 things: 1) have malformed responses with no entries return error (-EIO) 2) preserve existing workaround for servers that send empty responses with the EOF marker unset. 3) Add some comments to clarify the logic in decode_readdir().

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.

As long as the softirq is able to signal that the wakeup is due to a timeout (which it can do by setting task->tk_status to -ETIMEDOUT) then the callback functions can just run as standard task->tk_callback functions (in the rpciod/process context). The only possible border-line case would be xprt_timer() for the case of UDP, when the callback is used to reduce the size of the transport congestion window. In testing, however, the effect of moving that update to a callback would appear to be minor. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

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.

This problematic for several reasons. In particular, it will cause the reference counts for the thread to be wrong, and no new thread will be started until all nfs4 mounts are unmounted. Rather than exiting on error from svc_recv, have the thread do a 1s sleep and then retry the loop. This is unlikely to cause any harm, and if the error turns out to be something temporary then it may be able to recover. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J.

* | | | | | NFS: convert nfs4 callback thread to kthread APIJeff Layton2008-04-23

This patch converts the NFSv4 callback kernel thread to the kthread API. In addition to being generally cleaner this also removes the dependency on signals when shutting down the thread. Note that this patch depends on the recent patches to svc_recv() to make it check kthread_should_stop() periodically. Those patches are in Bruce's tree at the moment and are slated for 2.6.26 along with the lockd conversion, so this conversion is probably also appropriate for 2.6.26.
