The SK_BUSY bit in svc_sock->sk_flags ensures that we do not attempt to enqueue a socket twice. Currently, setting and clearing the bit is protected by svc_serv->sv_lock. As I intend to reduce the data that the lock protects so it's not held when svc_sock_enqueue() tests and sets SK_BUSY, that test and set needs to be atomic. Signed-off-by:

Convert the svc_sock->sk_reserved variable from an int protected by svc_serv->sv_lock, to an atomic. This reduces (by 1) the number of places we need to take the (effectively global) svc_serv->sv_lock. Signed-off-by:

Protect the svc_sock->sk_deferred list with a new lock svc_sock->sk_defer_lock instead of svc_serv->sv_lock. Using the more fine-grained lock reduces the number of places we need to take the svc_serv lock. Signed-off-by:

Following are 11 patches from Greg Banks which combine to make knfsd more Numa-aware. They reduce hitting on 'global' data structures, and create some data-structures that can be node-local. knfsd threads are bound to a particular node, and the thread to handle a new request is chosen from the threads that are attach to the node that received the interrupt. The distribution of threads across nodes can be controlled by a new file in the 'nfsd' filesystem, though the default approach of an even spread is probably fine for most sites. Some (old) numbers that show the efficacy of these patches: N == number of NICs == number of CPUs == nmber of clients. Number of NUMA nodes == N/2 N Throughput, MiB/s CPU usage, % (max=N*100) Before After Before After --- ------ ---- ----- ----- 4 312 435 350 228 6 500 656 501 418 8 562 804 690 589 This patch: Move the aging of RPC/TCP connection sockets from the main svc_recv() loop to a timer which uses a mark-and-sweep algorithm every 6 minutes. This reduces the amount of work that needs to be done in the main RPC loop and the length of time we need to hold the (effectively global) svc_serv->sv_lock. [akpm@osdl.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by:

If lockd_up fails - what should we expect? Do we have to later call lockd_down? Well the nfs client thinks "no", the nfs server thinks "yes". lockd thinks "yes". The only answer that really makes sense is "no" !! So: Make lockd_up only increment nlmsvc_users on success. Make nfsd handle errors from lockd_up properly. Make sure lockd_up(0) never fails when lockd is running so that the 'reclaimer' call to lockd_up doesn't need to be error checked. Cc: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@fieldses.org> Signed-off-by: -

We should be checking the return value of lockd_up when adding a new socket to nfsd. So move the lockd_up before the svc_addsock and check the return value. The move is because lockd_down is easy, but there is no easy way to remove a recently added socket. Cc: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@fieldses.org> Signed-off-by:

e_start acquires svc_export_cache.hash_lock, and e_stop releases it. Add lock annotations to these two functions so that sparse can check callers for lock pairing, and so that sparse will not complain about these functions since they intentionally use locks in this manner. Signed-off-by:

Userspace should create and bind a socket (but not connectted) and write the 'fd' to portlist. This will cause the nfs server to listen on that socket. To close a socket, the name of the socket - as read from 'portlist' can be written to 'portlist' with a preceding '-'. Signed-off-by:

This file will list all ports that nfsd has open. Default when TCP enabled will be ipv4 udp 0.0.0.0 2049 ipv4 tcp 0.0.0.0 2049 Later, the list of ports will be settable. 'portlist' chosen rather than 'ports', to avoid unnecessary confusion with non-mainline patches which created 'ports' with different semantics. [akpm@osdl.org: cleanups, build fix] Signed-off-by:

We have an array 'nfsd_version' which lists the available versions of nfsd, and 'nfsd_versions' (poor choice there :-() which lists the currently active versions. Then we have a bitmap - nfsd_versbits which says which versions are wanted. The bits in this bitset cause content to be copied from nfsd_version to nfsd_versions when nfsd starts. This patch removes nfsd_versbits and moves information directly from nfsd_version to nfsd_versions when requests for version changes arrive. Note that this doesn't make it possible to change versions while the server is running. This is because serv->sv_xdrsize is calculated when a service is created, and used when threads are created, and xdrsize depends on the active versions. Signed-off-by:

Currently lockd listens on UDP always, and TCP if CONFIG_NFSD_TCP is set. However as lockd performs services of the client as well, this is a problem. If CONFIG_NfSD_TCP is not set, and a tcp mount is used, the server will not be able to call back to lockd. So: - add an option to lockd_up saying which protocol is needed - Always open sockets for which an explicit port was given, otherwise only open a socket of the type required - Change nfsd to do one lockd_up per socket rather than one per thread. This - removes the dependancy on CONFIG_NFSD_TCP - means that lockd may open sockets other than at startup - means that lockd will *not* listen on UDP if the only mounts are TCP mount (and nfsd hasn't started). The latter is the only one that concerns me at all - I don't know if this might be a problem with some servers. Signed-off-by:

nfsd has some cleanup that it wants to do when the last thread exits, and there will shortly be some more. So collect this all into one place and define a callback for an rpc service to call when the service is about to be destroyed. [akpm@osdl.org: cleanups, build fix] Signed-off-by:

As reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6970, ISDN can issue excessively-long udelays, which triggers a build-time error on ARM. This is very sucky of ISDN, but I doubt if anyone is going to suddenly fix it. So change the macro to do the microsecond counting itself.

A simple module to test Linux Kernel Dump mechanism. This module uses jprobes to install/activate pre-defined crash points. At different crash points, various types of crashing scenarios are created like a BUG(), panic(), exception, recursive loop and stack overflow. The user can activate a crash point with specific type by providing parameters at the time of module insertion. Please see the file header for usage information. The module is based on the Linux Kernel Dump Test Tool by Fernando <http://lkdtt.sourceforge.net>. This module could be merged with mainline. Jprobes is used here so that the context in which crash point is hit, could be maintained. This implements all the crash points as done by LKDTT except the one in the middle of tasklet_action().

Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli authored
In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that: o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe. The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have to specify the ".symbols" o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to specify an offset into a symbol. o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported. However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified, probe registration fails with an -EINVAL. o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't work, say, on powerpc) Signed-off-by:

The problem with remembering a user space process by its pid is that it is possible that the process will exit, pid wrap around will occur. Converting to a struct pid avoid that problem, and paves the way for implementing a pid namespace. Also since usb is the only user of kill_proc_info_as_uid rename kill_proc_info_as_uid to kill_pid_info_as_uid and have the new version take a struct pid. Signed-off-by:

This has been needed for a long time, but now with the advent of a reference counted struct pid there are real consequences for getting this wrong. Someone I think it was Oleg Nesterov pointed out that this construct was missing locking, when I introduced struct pid. After taking time to review the locking construct already present I figured out which lock needs to be taken. The other paths that access f_owner.pid take either the f_owner read or the write lock.
