7fe5c398fc NFS: Optimise NFS close()
Close-to-open cache consistency rules really only require us to flush out

9e6e70f8d8 NFSv4: Support NFSv4 optional attributes in the struct nfs_fattr
Currently, filling struct nfs_fattr is more or less an all or nothing
operation, since NFSv2 and NFSv3 have only mandatory attributes.
In NFSv4, some attributes are optional, and so we may simply not be able to
fill in those fields. Furthermore, NFSv4 allows you to specify which
attributes you are interested in retrieving, thus permitting you to
optimise away retrieval of attributes that you know will no change...

4704f0e274 NFS: Fix the resolution problem with nfs_inode_attrs_need_update()
It appears that 'jiffies' timestamps do not have high enough resolution for
nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(). One problem is that a GETATTR can be
launched within < 1 jiffy of the last operation that updated the attribute.
Another problem is that RPC calls can take < 1 jiffy to execute.

We can fix this by switching the variables to use a simple global counter
that gets incremented every time we start another GETATTR call.

d1ce02e168 NFS: SETCLIENTID truncates client ID and netid
The sc_name field is currently 56 bytes long.  This is not large enough
to hold a pair of IPv6 addresses, the authentication type, the protocol
name, and a uniquifier number.  The maximum possible size of the name
string using IPv6 addresses is just under 110 bytes, so I increased the
size of the sc_name field to accomodate this maximum.

In addition, the strings in the nfs4_setclientid structure are
constructed with scnprintf(), which wants to terminate its output with
'\0'.  The sc_netid field was large enough only for a three byte netid
string and a '\0' so inet6 netids were being truncated.  Perhaps we
don't need the overhead of scnprintf() to do a simple string copy, but
I fixed this by increasing the size of the buffer by one byte.

Since all three of the string buffers in nfs4_setclientid are
constructed with scnprintf(), I increased the size of all three by one
byte to document the requirement, although I don't think either the
universal address field or the name field will be so small that these
strings get truncated in this way.

The size of the Linux client's client ID on the wire will be larger
than before.  RFC 3530 suggests the size limit for client IDs is 1024,
and we are still well below that.

nfs3_proc_access [nfs] 272 => 256
nfs3_proc_getacl [nfs] 384 => 368

2116271a34 NFS: Add correct bounds checking to NFSv2 locks
NFSv2 file locking currently fails the Connectathon tests, because the
calls to the VFS locking code do not return an EINVAL error if the
struct file_lock overflows the 32-bit boundaries.

The problem is due to the fact that we occasionally call helpers from
fs/locks.c in order to avoid RPC calls to the server when we know that a
local process holds the lock. These helpers are, of course, always
64-bit enabled, so EINVAL is not returned in cases when it would if
the call had gone to the NLM code.

For consistency, we therefore add support for a bounds-checking helper.

c1d519312d NFSv4: Only increment the sequence id if the server saw it
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.

aa53ed541a NFS4: on a O_EXCL OPEN make sure SETATTR sets the fields holding the verifier
The Linux NFS4 client simply skips over the bitmask in an O_EXCL open
call and so it doesn't bother to reset any fields that may be holding
the verifier. This patch has us save the first two words of the bitmask
(which is all the current client has #defines for). The client then
later checks this bitmask and turns on the appropriate flags in the
sattr->ia_verify field for the following SETATTR call.

This patch only currently checks to see if the server used the atime
and mtime slots for the verifier (which is what the Linux server uses
for this). I'm not sure of what other fields the server could
reasonably use, but adding checks for others should be trivial.

4f390c152b NFS: Fix double d_drop in nfs_instantiate() error path
If the LOOKUP or GETATTR in nfs_instantiate fail, nfs_instantiate will do a
d_drop before returning.  But some callers already do a d_drop in the case
of an error return.  Make certain we do only one d_drop in all error paths.

This issue was introduced because over time, the symlink proc API diverged
slightly from the create/mkdir/mknod proc API.  To prevent other coding
mistakes of this type, change the symlink proc API to be more like
create/mkdir/mknod and move the nfs_instantiate call into the symlink proc
routines so it is used in exactly the same way for create, mkdir, mknod,
and symlink.

allow data->npages to be one larger than rpages.  This causes a page

3cedf13af9 NFSv4: increase client-provided nfs4 clientid size
Neil Brown observed that the current limit of 32 bytes isn't enough to hold two
ip addresses and the rest of the stuff we're putting in it, so it's often
truncated to the point where it's unlikely to be unique.  This can cause
spurious CLID_INUSE's from the server.

607f31e80b Revert "Merge branch 'odirect'"
This reverts ccf01ef7aa commit.

No idea how git managed this one: when I asked it to merge the odirect
topic branch it actually generated a patch which reverted the change.

Reverting the 'merge' will once again reveal Chuck's recent NFS/O_DIRECT
work to the world.

06cf6f2ed0 NFS: Eliminate nfs_get_user_pages()
Neil Brown observed that the kmalloc() in nfs_get_user_pages() is more
likely to fail if the I/O is large enough to require the allocation of more
than a single page to keep track of all the pinned pages in the user's
buffer.

Instead of tracking one large page array per dreq/iocb, track pages per
nfs_read/write_data, just like the cached I/O path does.  An array for
pages is already allocated for us by nfs_readdata_alloc() (and the write
and commit equivalents).

This is also required for adding support for vectored I/O to the NFS direct
I/O path.

The original reason to pin the user buffer and allocate all the NFS data
structures before trying to schedule I/O was to ensure all needed resources
are allocated on the client before starting to send requests.  This reduces
the chance that resource exhaustion on the client will cause a short read
or write.

On the other hand, for an application making very large application I/O
requests, this means that it will be nearly impossible for the application
to make forward progress on a resource-limited client.

Thus, moving the buffer pinning functionality into the I/O scheduling
loops should be good for scalability.  The next patch will do the same for
NFS data structure allocation.

6b97fd3da1 NFSv4: Follow a referral
Respond to a moved error on NFS lookup by setting up the referral.
Note: We don't actually follow the referral during lookup/getattr, but
later when we detect fsid mismatch in inode revalidation (similar to the
processing done for cloning submounts). Referrals will have fake attributes
until they are actually followed or traversed.
