* SUNRPC: Don't spam gssd with upcall requests when the kerberos key expiredTrond Myklebust2010-05-14
| | | | | | | Now that the rpc.gssd daemon can explicitly tell us that the key expired, we should cache that information to avoid spamming gssd. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* SUNRPC: Reorder the struct rpc_task fieldsTrond Myklebust2010-05-14
| | | | | | | This improves the packing of the rpc_task, and ensures that on 64-bit platforms the size reduces to 216 bytes. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

* SUNRPC: Replace jiffies-based metrics with ktime-based metricsChuck Lever2010-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently RPC performance metrics that tabulate elapsed time use jiffies time values. This is problematic on systems that use slow jiffies (for instance 100HZ systems built for paravirtualized environments). It is also a problem for computing precise latency statistics for advanced network transports, such as InfiniBand, that can have round-trip latencies significanly faster than a single clock tick. For the RPC client, adopt the high resolution time stamp mechanism already used by the network layer and blktrace: ktime. We use ktime format time stamps for all internal computations, and convert to milliseconds for presentation. As a result, we need only addition operations in the performance critical paths; multiply/divide is required only for presentation. We could report RTT metrics in microseconds. In fact the mountstats format is versioned to accomodate exactly this kind of interface improvement. For now, however, we'll stay with millisecond precision for presentation to maintain backwards compatibility with the handful of currently deployed user space tools. At a later point, we'll move to an API such as BDI_STATS where a finer timestamp precision can be reported.

* gss_krb5: Use confounder length in wrap codeKevin Coffman2010-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All encryption types use a confounder at the beginning of the wrap token. In all encryption types except arcfour-hmac, the confounder is the same as the blocksize. arcfour-hmac has a blocksize of one, but uses an eight byte confounder. Add an entry to the crypto framework definitions for the confounder length and change the wrap/unwrap code to use the confounder length rather than assuming it is always the blocksize.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The text based upcall now indicates which Kerberos encryption types are supported by the kernel rpcsecgss code. This is used by gssd to determine which encryption types it should attempt to negotiate when creating a context with a server. The server principal's database and keytab encryption types are what limits what it should negotiate. Therefore, its keytab should be created with only the enctypes listed by this file.

* | SUNRPC: Allow RPCs to fail quickly if the server is unreachableChuck Lever2009-12-03
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel sometimes makes RPC calls to services that aren't running. Because the kernel's RPC client always assumes the hard retry semantic when reconnecting a connection-oriented RPC transport, the underlying reconnect logic takes a long while to time out, even though the remote may have responded immediately with ECONNREFUSED. In certain cases, like upcalls to our local rpcbind daemon, or for NFS mount requests, we'd like the kernel to fail immediately if the remote service isn't reachable. This allows another transport to be tried immediately, or the pending request can be abandoned quickly. Introduce a per-request flag which controls how call_transmit_status() behaves when request transmission fails because the server cannot be reached. We don't want soft connection semantics to apply to other errors. The default case of the switch statement in call_transmit_status() no longer falls through; the fall through code is copied to the default case, and a "break;" is added. The transport's connection re-establishment timeout is also ignored for such requests. We want the request to fail immediately, so the reconnect delay is skipped. Additionally, we don't want a connect failure here to further increase the reconnect timeout value, since this request will not be retried.
