* SUNRPC: switchable buffer allocationChuck Lever2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add RPC client transport switch support for replacing buffer management on a per-transport basis. In the current IPv4 socket transport implementation, RPC buffers are allocated as needed for each RPC message that is sent. Some transport implementations may choose to use pre-allocated buffers for encoding, sending, receiving, and unmarshalling RPC messages, however. For transports capable of direct data placement, the buffers can be carved out of a pre-registered area of memory rather than from a slab cache. Test-plan: Millions of fsx operations. Performance characterization with "sio" and "iozone". Use oprofile and other tools to look for significant regression in CPU utilization.

* SUNRPC: Provide a callback to allow free pages allocated during xdr encodingJ. Bruce Fields2005-10-19
| | | | | | | | | For privacy, we need to allocate pages to store the encrypted data (passed in pages can't be used without the risk of corrupting data in the page cache). So we need a way to free that memory after the request has been transmitted. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* RPC: allow call_encode() to delay transmission of an RPC call.Trond Myklebust2005-10-18
| | | | | | | | Currently, call_encode will cause the entire RPC call to abort if it returns an error. This is unnecessarily rigid, and gets in the way of attempts to allow the NFSv4 layer to order RPC calls that carry sequence ids. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* [PATCH] RPC: parametrize various transport connect timeoutsChuck Lever2005-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each transport implementation can now set unique bind, connect, reestablishment, and idle timeout values. These are variables, allowing the values to be modified dynamically. This permits exponential backoff of any of these values, for instance. As an example, we implement exponential backoff for the connection reestablishment timeout. Test-plan: Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily). Connectathon with UDP and TCP.

* [PATCH] RPC: clean up after nocong was removedChuck Lever2005-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | Clean-up: Move some macros that are specific to the Van Jacobson implementation into xprt.c. Get rid of the cong_wait field in rpc_xprt, which is no longer used. Get rid of xprt_clear_backlog. Test-plan: Compile with CONFIG_NFS enabled. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* [PATCH] RPC: add a release_rqst callout to the RPC transport switchChuck Lever2005-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The final place where congestion control state is adjusted is in xprt_release, where each request is finally released. Add a callout there to allow transports to perform additional processing when a request is about to be released. Test-plan: Use WAN simulation to cause sporadic bursty packet loss. Look for significant regression in performance or client stability. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
* [PATCH] RPC: add generic interface for adjusting the congestion windowChuck Lever2005-09-23

* [PATCH] RPC: separate xprt_timer implementationsChuck Lever2005-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow transports to hook the retransmit timer interrupt. Some transports calculate their congestion window here so that a retransmit timeout has immediate effect on the congestion window. Test-plan: Use WAN simulation to cause sporadic bursty packet loss.

* [PATCH] RPC: expose API for serializing access to RPC transportsChuck Lever2005-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The next method we abstract is the one that releases a transport, allowing another task to have access to the transport. Again, one generic version of this is provided for transports that don't need the RPC client to perform congestion control, and one version is for transports that can use the original Van Jacobson implementation in xprt.c.

* [PATCH] RPC: expose API for serializing access to RPC transportsChuck Lever2005-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The next several patches introduce an API that allows transports to choose whether the RPC client provides congestion control or whether the transport itself provides it. The first method we abstract is the one that serializes access to the RPC transport to prevent the bytes from different requests from mingling together. This method provides proper request serialization and the opportunity to prevent new requests from being started because the transport is congested. The normal situation is for the transport to handle congestion control itself. Although NFS over UDP was first, it has been recognized after years of experience that having the transport provide congestion control is much better than doing it in the RPC client. Thus TCP, and probably every future transport implementation, will use the default method, xprt_lock_write, provided in xprt.c, which does not provide any kind of congestion control. UDP can continue using the xprt.c-provided Van Jacobson congestion avoidance implementation. Test-plan: Use WAN simulation to cause sporadic bursty packet loss.

* [PATCH] RPC: add API to set transport-specific timeoutsChuck Lever2005-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prepare the way to remove the "xprt->nocong" variable by adding a callout to the RPC client transport switch API to handle setting RPC retransmit timeouts. Add a pair of generic helper functions that provide the ability to set a simple fixed timeout, or to set a timeout based on the state of a round- trip estimator.

* [PATCH] RPC: kick off socket connect operations fasterChuck Lever2005-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make the socket transport kick the event queue to start socket connects immediately. This should improve responsiveness of applications that are sensitive to slow mount operations (like automounters). We are now also careful to cancel the connect worker before destroying the xprt. This eliminates a race where xprt_destroy can finish before the connect worker is even allowed to run. Test-plan: Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
