4a06825839 SUNRPC: Transport fault injection
It has been exceptionally useful to exercise the logic that handles
local immediate errors and RDMA connection loss.  To enable
developers to test this regularly and repeatably, add logic to
simulate connection loss every so often.

Fault injection is disabled by default. It is enabled with

  $ sudo echo xxx > /sys/kernel/debug/sunrpc/inject_fault/disconnect

where "xxx" is a large positive number of transport method calls
before a disconnect. A value of several thousand is usually a good
number that allows reasonable forward progress while still causing a
lot of connection drops.

These hooks are disabled when SUNRPC_DEBUG is turned off.

3f94009816 sunrpc: make debugfs file creation failure non-fatal
v2: gracefully handle the case where some dentry pointers end up NULL
    and be more dilligent about zeroing out dentry pointers

We currently have a problem that SELinux policy is being enforced when
creating debugfs files. If a debugfs file is created as a side effect of
doing some syscall, then that creation can fail if the SELinux policy
for that process prevents it.

This seems wrong. We don't do that for files under /proc, for instance,
so Bruce has proposed a patch to fix that.

While discussing that patch however, Greg K.H. stated:

    "No kernel code should care / fail if a debugfs function fails, so
     please fix up the sunrpc code first."

This patch converts all of the sunrpc debugfs setup code to be void
return functins, and the callers to not look for errors from those
functions.

This should allow rpc_clnt and rpc_xprt creation to work, even if the
kernel fails to create debugfs files for some reason.

0695314ef0 SUNRPC: Fix a regression when reconnecting
If the task needs to give up the socket lock in order to allow a
reconnect to occur, then it must also clear the 'rq_bytes_sent' field
so that when it retransmits, it knows to start from the beginning.

718ba5b873 SUNRPC: Add helpers to prevent socket create from racing
The socket lock is currently held by the task that is requesting the
connection be established. While that is efficient in the case where
the connection happens quickly, it is racy in the case where it doesn't.
What we really want is for the connect helper to be able to block access
to the socket while it is being set up.

This patch does so by arranging to transfer the socket lock from the
task that is requesting the connect attempt, and then releasing that
lock once everything is done.
This scheme also gives us automatic protection against collisions with
the RPC close code, so we can kill the cancel_delayed_work_sync()
call in xs_close().

388f0c7767 sunrpc: add a debugfs rpc_xprt directory with an info file in it
Add a new directory heirarchy under the debugfs sunrpc/ directory:

    sunrpc/
        rpc_xprt/
            <xprt id>/

Within that directory, we can put files that give info about the
xprts. We do have the (minor) problem that there is no succinct,
unique identifier for rpc_xprts. So we generate them synthetically
with a static atomic_t counter.

For now, this directory just holds an "info" file, but we may add
other files to it in the future.

3c45ddf823 svcrdma: Select NFSv4.1 backchannel transport based on forward channel
The current code always selects XPRT_TRANSPORT_BC_TCP for the back
channel, even when the forward channel was not TCP (eg, RDMA). When
a 4.1 mount is attempted with RDMA, the server panics in the TCP BC
code when trying to send CB_NULL.

Instead, construct the transport protocol number from the forward
channel transport or'd with XPRT_TRANSPORT_BC. Transports that do
not support bi-directional RPC will not have registered a "BC"
transport, causing create_backchannel_client() to fail immediately.

requests already waiting in the xprt->backlog queue. The reason for

by xprt_free_slot(), but a new task then steals the slot.

If the socket is full, we're better off just waiting until it empties,
or until the connection is broken. The reason why we generally don't
want to time out is that the call to xprt->ops->release_xprt() will

Let's make an exception for soft RPC calls, since they have to provide
timeout guarantees.

87ed50036b SUNRPC: Ensure we release the socket write lock if the rpc_task exits early
If the rpc_task exits while holding the socket write lock before it has
allocated an rpc slot, then the usual mechanism for releasing the write
lock in xprt_release() is defeated.

The problem occurs if the call to xprt_lock_write() initially fails, so
that the rpc_task is put on the xprt->sending wait queue. If the task
exits after being assigned the lock by __xprt_lock_write_func, but
before it has retried the call to xprt_lock_and_alloc_slot(), then
it calls xprt_release() while holding the write lock, but will
immediately exit due to the test for task->tk_rqstp != NULL.

f39c1bfb5a SUNRPC: Fix a UDP transport regression
Commit 43cedbf0e8 (SUNRPC: Ensure that
we grab the XPRT_LOCK before calling xprt_alloc_slot) is causing
hangs in the case of NFS over UDP mounts.

Since neither the UDP or the RDMA transport mechanism use dynamic slot
allocation, we can skip grabbing the socket lock for those transports.
Add a new rpc_xprt_op to allow switching between the TCP and UDP/RDMA
case.

Note that the NFSv4.1 back channel assigns the slot directly
through rpc_run_bc_task, so we can ignore that case.

New features include:
 - Rewrite the O_DIRECT code so that it can share the same coalescing and
   pNFS functionality as the page cache code.
 - Allow the server to provide hints as to when we should use pNFS, and
   when it is more efficient to read and write through the metadata
   server.
 - NFS cache consistency updates:
   - Use the ctime to emulate a change attribute for NFSv2/v3 so that
     all NFS versions can share the same cache management code.
   - New cache management code will only look at the change attribute
     and size attribute when deciding whether or not our cached data
     is still valid or not.
   - Don't request NFSv4 post-op attributes on writes in cases such as
     O_DIRECT, where we don't care about data cache consistency, or
     when we have a write delegation, and know that our cache is
     still consistent.
   - Don't request NFSv4 post-op attributes on operations such as
     COMMIT, where there are no expected metadata updates.
   - Don't request NFSv4 directory post-op attributes in cases where
     the operations themselves already return change attribute updates:
     i.e.  operations such as OPEN, CREATE, REMOVE, LINK and RENAME.
 - Speed up 'ls' and friends by using READDIR rather than READDIRPLUS
   if we detect no attempts to lookup filenames.
 - Improve the code sharing between NFSv2/v3 and v4 mounts
 - NFSv4.1 state management efficiency improvements
 - More patches in preparation for NFSv4/v4.1 migration functionality.

1afeaf5c29 sunrpc: fix loss of task->tk_status after rpc_delay call in xprt_alloc_slot
xprt_alloc_slot will call rpc_delay() to make the task wait a bit before
retrying when it gets back an -ENOMEM error from xprt_dynamic_alloc_slot.
The problem is that rpc_delay will clear the task->tk_status, causing
call_reserveresult to abort the task.

The solution is simply to let call_reserveresult handle the ENOMEM error
directly.

15a4520621 SUNRPC: add sending,pending queue and max slot to xprt stats
With static RPC slots, the xprt backlog queue stats were useful in showing
when the transport (TCP) was starved by lack of RPC slots. The new dynamic
RPC slot code, commit d9ba131d8f, always
provides an RPC slot and so only uses the xprt backlog queue when the
tcp_max_slot_table_entries value has been hit or when an allocation error
occurs. All requests are now placed on the xprt sending or pending queue which
need to be monitored for debugging.

The max_slot stat shows the maximum number of dynamic RPC slots reached which is
useful when debugging performance issues.

Add the new fields at the end of the mountstats xprt stanza so that mountstats
outputs the previous correct values and ignores the new fields. Bump
NFS_IOSTATS_VERS.

99de8ea962 rpc: keep backchannel xprt as long as server connection
Multiple backchannels can share the same tcp connection; from rfc 5661 section
2.10.3.1:

	A connection's association with a session is not exclusive.  A
	connection associated with the channel(s) of one session may be
	simultaneously associated with the channel(s) of other sessions
	including sessions associated with other client IDs.

However, multiple backchannels share a connection, they must all share
the same xid stream (hence the same rpc_xprt); the only way we have to
match replies with calls at the rpc layer is using the xid.

So, keep the rpc_xprt around as long as the connection lasts, in case
we're asked to use the connection as a backchannel again.

Requests to create new backchannel clients over a given server
connection should results in creating new clients that reuse the
existing rpc_xprt.

But to start, just reject attempts to associate multiple rpc_xprt's with
the same underlying bc_xprt.

ff8399709e SUNRPC: Replace jiffies-based metrics with ktime-based metrics
Currently RPC performance metrics that tabulate elapsed time use
jiffies time values.  This is problematic on systems that use slow
jiffies (for instance 100HZ systems built for paravirtualized
environments).  It is also a problem for computing precise latency
statistics for advanced network transports, such as InfiniBand,
that can have round-trip latencies significanly faster than a single
clock tick.

For the RPC client, adopt the high resolution time stamp mechanism
already used by the network layer and blktrace: ktime.

We use ktime format time stamps for all internal computations, and
convert to milliseconds for presentation.  As a result, we need only
addition operations in the performance critical paths; multiply/divide
is required only for presentation.

We could report RTT metrics in microseconds.  In fact the mountstats
format is versioned to accomodate exactly this kind of interface
improvement.

For now, however, we'll stay with millisecond precision for
presentation to maintain backwards compatibility with the handful of
currently deployed user space tools.  At a later point, we'll move to
an API such as BDI_STATS where a finer timestamp precision can be
reported.

55ae1aabfb nfs41: Add backchannel processing support to RPC state machine
Adds rpc_run_bc_task() which is called by the NFS callback service to
process backchannel requests.  It performs similar work to rpc_run_task()
though "schedules" the backchannel task to be executed starting at the
call_trasmit state in the RPC state machine.

It also introduces some miscellaneous updates to the argument validation,
call_transmit, and transport cleanup functions to take into account
that there are now forechannel and backchannel tasks.

Backchannel requests do not carry an RPC message structure, since the
payload has already been XDR encoded using the existing NFSv4 callback
mechanism.

Introduce a new transmit state for the client to reply on to backchannel
requests.  This new state simply reserves the transport and issues the
reply.  In case of a connection related error, disconnects the transport and
drops the reply.  It requires the forechannel to re-establish the connection
and the server to retransmit the request, as stated in NFSv4.1 section
2.9.2 "Client and Server Transport Behavior".

Note: There is no need to loop attempting to reserve the transport.  If EAGAIN
is returned by xprt_prepare_transmit(), return with tk_status == 0,
setting tk_action to call_bc_transmit.  rpc_execute() will invoke it again
after the task is taken off the sleep queue.

b22602a673 SUNRPC: Ensure all transports set rq_xtime consistently
The RPC client uses the rq_xtime field in each RPC request to determine the
round-trip time of the request.  Currently, the rq_xtime field is
initialized by each transport just before it starts enqueing a request to
be sent.  However, transports do not handle initializing this value
consistently; sometimes they don't initialize it at all.

To make the measurement of request round-trip time consistent for all
RPC client transport capabilities, pull rq_xtime initialization into the
RPC client's generic transport logic.  Now all transports will get a
standardized RTT measure automatically, from:

  xprt_transmit()

to

  xprt_complete_rqst()

This makes round-trip time calculation more accurate for the TCP transport.
The socket ->sendmsg() method can return "-EAGAIN" if the socket's output
buffer is full, so the TCP transport's ->send_request() method may call
the ->sendmsg() method repeatedly until it gets all of the request's bytes
queued in the socket's buffer.

Currently, the TCP transport sets the rq_xtime field every time through
that loop so the final value is the timestamp just before the *last* call
to the underlying socket's ->sendmsg() method.  After this patch, the
rq_xtime field contains a timestamp that reflects the time just before the
*first* call to ->sendmsg().

This is consequential under heavy workloads because large requests often
take multiple ->sendmsg() calls to get all the bytes of a request queued.
The TCP transport causes the request to sleep until the remote end of the
socket has received enough bytes to clear space in the socket's local
output buffer.  This delay can be quite significant.

The method introduced by this patch is a more accurate measure of RTT
for stream transports, since the server can cause enough back pressure
to delay (ie increase the latency of) requests from the client.

Additionally, this patch corrects the behavior of the RDMA transport, which
entirely neglected to initialize the rq_xtime field.  RPC performance
metrics for RDMA transports now display correct RPC request round trip
times.

NFSv4 requires us to ensure that we break the TCP connection before we're

retransmitting several requests that have been sent on the same
connection, we need to ensure that we don't interfere with the attempt to
reconnect and/or break the connection again once it has been established.

We therefore introduce a 'connection' cookie that is bumped every time a
connection is broken. This allows requests to track if they need to force a
disconnection.

Finally ensure that we set req->rq_rcv_buf.len to zero when retrying a

5d00837b90 SUNRPC: Run rpc timeout functions as callbacks instead of in softirqs
An audit of the current RPC timeout functions shows that they don't really
ever need to run in the softirq context. As long as the softirq is
able to signal that the wakeup is due to a timeout (which it can do by
setting task->tk_status to -ETIMEDOUT) then the callback functions can just
run as standard task->tk_callback functions (in the rpciod/process
context).

The only possible border-line case would be xprt_timer() for the case of
UDP, when the callback is used to reduce the size of the transport
congestion window. In testing, however, the effect of moving that update
to a callback would appear to be minor.

c1384c9c4c SUNRPC: fix hang due to eventd deadlock...
Brian Behlendorf writes:

The root cause of the NFS hang we were observing appears to be a rare
deadlock between the kernel provided usermodehelper API and the linux NFS
client.  The deadlock can arise because both of these services use the
generic linux work queues.  The usermodehelper API run the specified user
application in the context of the work queue.  And NFS submits both cleanup
and reconnect work to the generic work queue for handling.  Normally this
is fine but a deadlock can result in the following situation.

  - NFS client is in a disconnected state
  - [events/0] runs a usermodehelper app with an NFS dependent operation,
    this triggers an NFS reconnect.
  - NFS reconnect happens to be submitted to [events/0] work queue.
  - Deadlock, the [events/0] work queue will never process the
    reconnect because it is blocked on the previous NFS dependent
    operation which will not complete.`

The solution is simply to run reconnect requests on rpciod.

To fix a potential deadlock, this patch also replaces GFP_NOFS with

2bea90d43a SUNRPC: RPC buffer size estimates are too large
The RPC buffer size estimation logic in net/sunrpc/clnt.c always
significantly overestimates the requirements for the buffer size.
A little instrumentation demonstrated that in fact rpc_malloc was never
allocating the buffer from the mempool, but almost always called kmalloc.

To compute the size of the RPC buffer more precisely, split p_bufsiz into
two fields; one for the argument size, and one for the result size.

Then, compute the sum of the exact call and reply header sizes, and split
the RPC buffer precisely between the two.  That should keep almost all RPC
buffers within the 2KiB buffer mempool limit.

And, we can finally be rid of RPC_SLACK_SPACE!

241c39b9ac RPC: Fix the TCP resend semantics for NFSv4
Fix a regression due to the patch "NFS: disconnect before retrying NFSv4
requests over TCP"

The assumption made in xprt_transmit() that the condition
	"req->rq_bytes_sent == 0 and request is on the receive list"
should imply that we're dealing with a retransmission is false.
Firstly, it may simply happen that the socket send queue was full
at the time the request was initially sent through xprt_transmit().
Secondly, doing this for each request that was retransmitted implies
that we disconnect and reconnect for _every_ request that happened to
be retransmitted irrespective of whether or not a disconnection has
already occurred.

Fix is to move this logic into the call_status request timeout handler.

43d78ef2ba NFS: disconnect before retrying NFSv4 requests over TCP
RFC3530 section 3.1.1 states an NFSv4 client MUST NOT send a request
twice on the same connection unless it is the NULL procedure.  Section
3.1.1 suggests that the client should disconnect and reconnect if it
wants to retry a request.

Implement this by adding an rpc_clnt flag that an ULP can use to
specify that the underlying transport should be disconnected on a
major timeout.  The NFSv4 client asserts this new flag, and requests
no retries after a minor retransmit timeout.

Note that disconnecting on a retransmit is in general not safe to do
if the RPC client does not reuse the TCP port number when reconnecting.

65f27f3844 WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.

For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.

To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.

Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).

However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().

In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

enough, the server will start serving old replies out of its DRC.
