The following patch converts the NFSv2/v3 locking code to use the same mechanism as NFSv4 for sending asynchronous RPC calls and then waiting for them to complete. This ensures that the UNLOCK and CANCEL RPC calls will complete even if the user interrupts the call, yet satisfies the above request for synchronous behaviour on process exit.

When we replace the existing synchronous RPC calls with asynchronous calls, the reference count will be needed in order to allow us to examine the result of the RPC call. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

We want to ensure that req->rq_private_buf.len is updated before req->rq_received, so that call_decode() doesn't use an old value for req->rq_rcv_buf.len. In 'call_decode()' itself, instead of using task->tk_status (which is set using req->rq_received) must use the actual value of req->rq_private_buf.len when deciding whether or not the received RPC reply is too short. Finally ensure that we set req->rq_rcv_buf.len to zero when retrying a request. A typo meant that we were resetting req->rq_private_buf.len in call_decode(), and then clobbering that value with the old rq_rcv_buf.len again in xprt_transmit().

It is quite possible that the OPEN, CLOSE, LOCK, LOCKU,... compounds fail before the actual stateful operation has been executed (for instance in the PUTFH call). There is no way to tell from the overall status result which operations were executed from the COMPOUND. The fix is to move incrementing of the sequence id into the XDR layer, so that we do it as we process the results from the stateful operation.

There should be no need to invalidate a perfectly good state owner just because of a stale filehandle. Doing so can cause the state recovery code to break, since nfs4_get_renew_cred() and nfs4_get_setclientid_cred() rely on finding active state owners.

In the case of readpage() we need to ensure that the pages get unlocked, and that the error is flagged. In the case of O_DIRECT, we need to ensure that the pages are all released. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

It is possible for nfs_wb_page() to sometimes exit with 0 return value, yet the page is left in a dirty state. For instance in the case where the server rebooted, and the COMMIT request failed, then all the previously "clean" pages which were cached by the server, but were not guaranteed to have been writted out to disk, have to be redirtied and resent to the server. The fix is to have nfs_wb_page_priority() check that the page is clean before it exits... This fixes a condition that triggers the BUG_ON(PagePrivate(page)) in nfs_create_request() when we're in the nfs_readpage() path. Also eliminate a redundant BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page)) while we're at it. It turns out that clear_page_dirty_for_io() has the exact same test.

..and always destroy using a 'soft' RPC call. Destroying GSS credentials isn't mandatory; the server can always cope with a few credentials not getting destroyed in a timely fashion. This actually fixes a hang situation. Basically, some servers will decide that the client is crazy if it tries to destroy an RPC context for which they have sent an RPCSEC_GSS_CREDPROBLEM, and so will refuse to talk to it for a while. The regression therefor probably was introduced by commit 0df7fb74. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

The rest of the networking layer uses SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE to signal whether or not we have someone waiting for buffer memory. Convert the SUNRPC layer to use the same idiom. Remove the unlikely()s in xs_udp_write_space and xs_tcp_write_space. In fact, the most common case will be that there is nobody waiting for buffer space. SOCK_NOSPACE is there to tell the TCP layer whether or not the cwnd was limited by the application window. Ensure that we follow the same idiom as the rest of the networking layer here too. Finally, ensure that we clear SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE once we wake up, so that write_space() doesn't keep waking things up on xprt->pending. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

Bruce Fields says: "By the way, we've got another config-related nit here: http://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156 You can build lockd without CONFIG_SYSCTL set, but then the module will fail to load." For now, disable the sysctl registration calls in lockd if CONFIG_SYSCTL is not enabled. This allows the kernel to build properly if PROC_FS or SYSCTL is not enabled, but an NFS client is desired. In the long run, we would like to be able to build the kernel with an NFS client but without lockd. This makes sense, for example, if you want an NFSv4-only NFS client, as NFSv4 doesn't use NLM at all.

During a remount based on the mount options displayed in /proc/mounts, we want to preserve the original behavior of the mount request. Let's save the original setting of the "port=" mount option in the mount's nfs_server structure. This allows us to simplify the default behavior of port setting for NFSv4 mounts: by default, NFSv2/3 mounts first try an RPC bind to determine the NFS server's port, unless the user specified the "port=" mount option; Users can force the client to skip the RPC bind by explicitly specifying "port=<value>". NFSv4, by contrast, assumes the NFS server port is 2049 and skips the RPC bind, unless the user specifies "port=". Users can force an RPC bind for NFSv4 by explicitly specifying "port=0". I added a couple of extra comments to clarify this behavior.

Currently, the NFS readdir decoders have a workaround for buggy servers that send an empty readdir response with the EOF bit unset. If the server sends a malformed response in some cases, this workaround kicks in and just returns an empty response rather than returning a proper error to the caller. This patch does 3 things: 1) have malformed responses with no entries return error (-EIO) 2) preserve existing workaround for servers that send empty responses with the EOF marker unset. 3) Add some comments to clarify the logic in decode_readdir().

Ignoring the return value from nfs_pageio_add_request can cause deadlocks. In read path: call nfs_pageio_add_request from readpage_async_filler assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that can't be merged with the current request. so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc. assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set. This causes nfs_pageio_add_request to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original request. BUT, since return code is ignored, readpage_async_filler assumes it has been added, and does nothing further, leaving page locked. do_generic_mapping_read will eventually call lock_page, resulting in deadlock In write path: page is marked dirty by generic_perform_write nfs_writepages is called call nfs_pageio_add_request from nfs_page_async_flush assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that can't be merged with the current request. so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc. assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set. This causes nfs_page_async_flush to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original request, yet marking the request as locked (PG_BUSY) and in writeback, clearing dirty marks. The next time a write is done to the page, deadlock will result as nfs_write_end calls nfs_update_request Signed-off-by: Fred Isaman <iisaman@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
