      lockd: Don't bother with RPC ping for NSM upcalls · 0e5c2632
      Chuck Lever authored 
      Cut NSM upcall RPC traffic in half -- don't do a NULL call first.
The cases where a ping would be helpful are rare.

      lockd: Update NSM state from SM_MON replies · 6c9dc425
      Chuck Lever authored 
      When rpc.statd starts up in user space at boot time, it attempts to
write the latest NSM local state number into
/proc/sys/fs/nfs/nsm_local_state.

If lockd.ko isn't loaded yet (as is the case in most configurations),
that file doesn't exist, thus the kernel's NSM state remains set to
its initial value of zero during lockd operation.

This is a problem because rpc.statd and lockd use the NSM state number
to prevent repeated lock recovery on rebooted hosts.  If lockd sends
a zero NSM state, but then a delayed SM_NOTIFY with a real NSM state
number is received, there is no way for lockd or rpc.statd to
distinguish that stale SM_NOTIFY from an actual reboot.  Thus lock
recovery could be performed after the rebooted host has already
started reclaiming locks, and those locks will be lost.

We could change /etc/init.d/nfslock so it always modprobes lockd.ko
before starting rpc.statd.  However, if lockd.ko is ever unloaded
and reloaded, we are back at square one, since the NSM state is not
preserved across an unload/reload cycle.  This may happen frequently
on clients that use automounter.  A period of NFS inactivity causes
lockd.ko to be unloaded, and the kernel loses its NSM state setting.

Instead, let's use the fact that rpc.statd plants the local system's
NSM state in every SM_MON (and SM_UNMON) reply.  lockd performs a
synchronous SM_MON upcall to the local rpc.statd _before_ sending its
first NLM request to a new remote.  This would permit rpc.statd to
provide the current NSM state to lockd, even after lockd.ko had been
unloaded and reloaded.

Note that NLMPROC_LOCK arguments are constructed before the
nsm_monitor() call, so we have to rearrange argument construction very
slightly to make this all work out.

And, the kernel appears to treat NSM state as a u32 (see struct
nlm_args and nsm_res).  Make nsm_local_state a u32 as well, to ensure
we don't get bogus comparison results.

      NFS: Fix false error return from nfs_callback_up() if ipv6.ko is not available · 18fc3164
      Chuck Lever authored 
      Clear "ret" if the error return from svc_create_xprt(AF_INET6) was
-EAFNOSUPORT.  Otherwise, callback start-up will succeed, but
nfs_callback_up() will return -EAFNOSUPPORT anyway, and the first
NFSv4 mount attempt after a reboot will fail.

Bug introduced by commit f738f517 in 2.6.30-rc1.

      NFS: Return error code from nfs_callback_up() to user space · a21bdd9b
      Chuck Lever authored 
      If the kernel cannot start the NFSv4 callback service during a mount
request, it returns -ENOMEM to user space, resulting in this message:

   mount.nfs4: Cannot allocate memory

Adjust nfs_alloc_client() and nfs_get_client() to pass NFSv4 callback
start-up errors back to user space so a less mysterious error message
can be displayed by the mount command.

      NFS: Do not display the setting of the "intr" mount option · c381ad2c
      Chuck Lever authored 
      The "intr" mount option has been deprecated for a while, but
/proc/mounts continues to display "nointr" whether "intr" or "nointr"
has been specified for a mount point.

Since these options do not have any effect, simply do not display
them.

      NFS: add support for splice writes · bf40d343
      Suresh Jayaraman authored 
      Adds support for splice writes. It effectively calls
generic_file_splice_write() to do the writes.

We need not worry about O_APPEND case as the combination of splice()
writes and O_APPEND is disallowed. This patch propagates NFS write
errors back to the caller. The number of bytes written via splice are
being added to NFSIO_NORMALWRITTENBYTES as these are effectively
cached writes.
