2008-10-28NFS: Convert nfs_attr_generation_counter into an atomic_longTrond Myklebust
The most important property we need from nfs_attr_generation_counter is monotonicity, which is not guaranteed by the current system of smp memory barriers. We should convert it to an atomic_long_t, and drop the memory barriers. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-10-14NFS: Fix a resolution problem with nfs_inode->cache_change_attributeTrond Myklebust
The cache_change_attribute is used to decide whether or not a directory has changed, in which case we may need to look it up again. Again, the use of 'jiffies' leads to an issue of resolution. Once again, the fix is to change nfs_inode->cache_change_attribute, and just make it a simple counter. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-10-14NFS: Fix the resolution problem with nfs_inode_attrs_need_update()Trond Myklebust
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. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-10-09NFS: Fix attribute updatesTrond Myklebust
This fixes a regression seen when running the Connectathon testsuite against an ext3 filesystem. The reason was that the inode was constantly being marked as 'just updated' by the jiffy wraparound test. This again meant that newer GETATTR calls were failing to pass the nfs_inode_attrs_need_update() test unless the changes caused a ctime update on the server, since they were perceived as having been started before the latest inode update. Given that nfs_inode_attrs_need_update() already checks for wraparound of nfsi->last_updated, we can drop the buggy "protection" in nfs_update_inode(). Also make a slight micro-optimisation of nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(): we are more often going to see time_after(fattr->time_start, nfsi->last_updated) be true, rather than seeing an update of ctime/size, so put that test first to ensure that we optimise away the ctime/size tests.

2008-10-07NFS: Allow concurrent inode revalidationTrond Myklebust
Currently, if two processes are both trying to revalidate metadata for the same inode, they will find themselves being serialised. There is no good justification for this now that we have improved our ability to detect stale attribute data, so we should remove that serialisation.

2008-10-07NFS: Don't clear nfsi->cache_validity in nfs_check_inode_attributes()Trond Myklebust
If we're merely checking the inode attributes because we suspect that the 'updated' attributes returned by the RPC call are stale, then we shouldn't be doing weak cache consistency updates or clearing the cache_validity flags. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-10-07NFS: Convert __nfs_revalidate_inode() to use nfs_refresh_inode()Trond Myklebust
In the case where there are parallel RPC calls to the same inode, we may receive stale metadata due to the lack of ordering, hence the sanity checking of metadata in nfs_refresh_inode(). Currently, __nfs_revalidate_inode() is calling nfs_update_inode() directly, without any further sanity checks, and hence may end up setting the inode up with stale metadata. Fix is to use nfs_refresh_inode() instead of nfs_update_inode(). Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-10-07NFS: Fix nfs_post_op_update_inode_force_wcc()Trond Myklebust
If we believe that the attributes are old (see nfs_refresh_inode()), then we shouldn't force an update. Also ensure that we hold the inode->i_lock across attribute checks and the call to nfs_refresh_inode_locked() to ensure that we don't race with other attribute updates. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-10-07NFS: Fix the NFS attribute updateTrond Myklebust
Currently nfs_refresh_inode() will only update the inode metadata if it sees that the RPC call that returned the nfs_fattr was started after the last update of the inode. This means that if we have parallel RPC calls to the same inode (when sending WRITE calls, for instance), we may often miss updates. This patch attempts to recover those missed updates by also accepting them if the ctime in the nfs_fattr is more recent than the inode's cached ctime. It also recovers the case where the file size has increased, but the ctime has not been updated due to limited ctime resolution. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-10-07NFS: Clean up nfs_refresh_inode() and nfs_post_op_update_inode()Trond Myklebust
Try to avoid taking and dropping the inode->i_lock more than once. Do so by moving the code in nfs_refresh_inode() that needs to be done under the spinlock into a function nfs_refresh_inode_locked(), and then having both nfs_refresh_inode() and nfs_post_op_update_inode() call it directly.

2008-07-15NFS: Remove BKL requirement from attribute updatesTrond Myklebust
The main problem is dealing with inode->i_size: we need to set the inode->i_lock on all attribute updates, and so vmtruncate won't cut it. Make an NFS-private version of vmtruncate that has the necessary locking semantics. The result should be that the following inode attribute updates are protected by inode->i_lock nfsi->cache_validity nfsi->read_cache_jiffies nfsi->attrtimeo nfsi->attrtimeo_timestamp nfsi->change_attr nfsi->last_updated nfsi->cache_change_attribute nfsi->access_cache nfsi->access_cache_entry_lru nfsi->access_cache_inode_lru nfsi->acl_access nfsi->acl_default nfsi->nfs_page_tree nfsi->ncommit nfsi->npages nfsi->open_files nfsi->silly_list nfsi->acl nfsi->open_states inode->i_size inode->i_atime inode->i_mtime inode->i_ctime inode->i_nlink inode->i_uid inode->i_gid The following is protected by dir->i_mutex nfsi->cookieverf Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-05-16NFS: Ensure that 'noac' and/or 'actimeo=0' turn off attribute cachingTrond Myklebust
Both the 'noac' and 'actimeo=0' mount options should ensure that attributes are not cached, however a bug in nfs_attribute_timeout() means that currently, the attributes may in fact get cached for up to one jiffy. This has been seen to cause corruption in some applications. The reason for the bug is that the time_in_range() test returns 'true' as long as the current time lies between nfsi->read_cache_jiffies and nfsi->read_cache_jiffies + nfsi->attrtimeo. In other words, if jiffies equals nfsi->read_cache_jiffies, then we still cache the attribute data. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-03-14SUNRPC: Add a helper rpcauth_lookup_generic_cred()Trond Myklebust
The NFSv4 protocol allows clients to negotiate security protocols on the fly in the case where an administrator on the server changes the export settings and/or in the case where we may have a filesystem migration event. Instead of having the NFS client code cache credentials that are tied to a particular AUTH method it is therefore preferable to have a generic credential that can be converted into whatever AUTH is in use by the RPC client when the read/write/sillyrename/... is put on the wire. We do this by means of the new "generic" credential, which basically just caches the minimal information that is needed to look up an RPCSEC_GSS, AUTH_SYS, or AUTH_NULL credential.

2008-03-07NFS: Fix the fsid revalidation in nfs_update_inode()Trond Myklebust
When we detect that we've crossed a mountpoint on the remote server, we must take care not to use that inode to revalidate the fsid on our current superblock. To do so, we label the inode as a remote mountpoint, and check for that in nfs_update_inode(). Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-02-25NFS: Add an nfsiod workqueueTrond Myklebust
NFS post-rpciod cleanups often involve tasks that cannot be safely performed within the rpciod context (due to deadlock concerns). We therefore add a dedicated NFS workqueue that can perform tasks like cleaning up state after an interrupted NFSv4 open() call, or calling put_nfs_open_context() after an asynchronous read or write call.

2008-02-25NFS: Fix a deadlock with lazy umountTrond Myklebust
We can't allow rpc callback functions like task->tk_ops->rpc_call_prepare() and task->tk_ops->rpc_call_done() to call mntput() in any way, since that will cause a deadlock when the call to rpc_shutdown_client() attempts to wait on 'task' to complete. We can avoid the above deadlock by moving calls to mntput to task->tk_ops->rpc_release() callback, since at that time the task will be marked as completed, and so rpc_shutdown_client won't attempt to wait on it.

2008-01-30NFS: Prevent nfs_getattr() hang during heavy write workloadsChuck Lever
POSIX requires that ctime and mtime, as reported by the stat(2) call, reflect the activity of the most recent write(2). To that end, nfs_getattr() flushes pending dirty writes to a file before doing a GETATTR to allow the NFS server to set the file's size, ctime, and mtime properly. However, nfs_getattr() can be starved when a constant stream of application writes to a file prevents nfs_wb_nocommit() from completing. This usually results in hangs of programs doing a stat against an NFS file that is being written. "ls -l" is a common victim of this behavior. To prevent starvation, hold the file's i_mutex in nfs_getattr() to freeze applications writes temporarily so the client can more quickly obtain clean values for a file's size, mtime, and ctime.

2008-01-30NFS: Ensure nfs_wcc_update_inode always converts file size to loff_tChuck Lever
The nfs_wcc_update_inode() function omits logic to convert the type of the NFS on-the-wire value of a file's size (__u64) to the type of file size value stored in struct inode (loff_t, which is signed). Everywhere else in the NFS client I checked already correctly converts the file size type. This effects only very large files.

2007-10-19NFS: Fix a race in sillyrenameTrond Myklebust
lookup() and sillyrename() can race one another because the sillyrename() completion cannot take the parent directory's inode->i_mutex since the latter may be held by whoever is calling dput(). We therefore have little option but to add extra locking to ensure that nfs_lookup() and nfs_atomic_open() do not race with the sillyrename completion. If somebody has looked up the sillyrenamed file in the meantime, we just transfer the sillydelete information to the new dentry.
