SUNRPC: Rename skb_reader_t and friends

2006-12-06T15:46:52+00:00

Clean-up:  hch suggested that the RPC client shouldn't pollute the name
space used by the generic skb manipulation routines in net/core/skbuff.c.

Rename a couple of types in xdr.h to adhere to this convention.

SUNRPC: skb_read_bits is the same as xs_tcp_copy_data

2006-12-06T15:46:52+00:00

Clean-up: eliminate xs_tcp_copy_data -- it's exactly the same logic as the
common routine skb_read_bits.  The UDP and TCP socket read code now share
the same routine for copying data into an xdr_buf.

Now that skb_read_bits() is exported, rename it to avoid confusing it with
a generic skb_* function.  As these functions are XDR-specific, they should
not have names that suggest they are of generic use.  Also rename
skb_read_and_csum_bits() to be consistent.

rpc: move process_xdr_buf

2006-12-06T15:46:44+00:00

Since process_xdr_buf() is useful outside of the kerberos-specific code, we
move it to net/sunrpc/xdr.c, export it, and rename it in keeping with xdr_*
naming convention of xdr.c.

[PATCH] knfsd: Allow lockd to drop replies as appropriate

2006-10-17T15:18:46+00:00

It is possible for the ->fopen callback from lockd into nfsd to find that an
answer cannot be given straight away (an upcall is needed) and so the request
has to be 'dropped', to be retried later.  That error status is not currently
propagated back.

So:
  Change nlm_fopen to return nlm error codes (rather than a private
  protocol) and define a new nlm_drop_reply code.
  Cause nlm_drop_reply to cause the rpc request to get rpc_drop_reply
  when this error comes back.
  Cause svc_process to drop a request which returns a status of
  rpc_drop_reply.

NFS: support large reads and writes on the wire

2006-01-06T19:58:49+00:00

 Most NFS server implementations allow up to 64KB reads and writes on the
 wire.  The Solaris NFS server allows up to a megabyte, for instance.

 Now the Linux NFS client supports transfer sizes up to 1MB, too.  This will
 help reduce protocol and context switch overhead on read/write intensive NFS
 workloads, and support larger atomic read and write operations on servers
 that support them.

 Test-plan:
 Connectathon and iozone on mount point with wsize=rsize>32768 over TCP.
 Tests with NFS over UDP to verify the maximum RPC payload size cap.
