2006-03-20SUNRPC: eliminate rpc_call()Chuck Lever
Clean-up: replace rpc_call() helper with direct call to rpc_call_sync. This makes NFSv2 and NFSv3 synchronous calls more computationally efficient, and reduces stack consumption in functions that used to invoke rpc_call more than once. Test plan: Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled. Connectathon on NFS version 2, version 3, and version 4 mount points.

2005-08-18[PATCH] NFS: Introduce the use of inode->i_lock to protect fields in nfsiChuck Lever
Down the road we want to eliminate the use of the global kernel lock entirely from the NFS client. To do this, we need to protect the fields in the nfs_inode structure adequately. Start by serializing updates to the "cache_validity" field. Note this change addresses an SMP hang found by njw@osdl.org, where processes deadlock because nfs_end_data_update and nfs_revalidate_mapping update the "cache_validity" field without proper serialization. Test plan: Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients. Run Nick Wilson's breaknfs program on large SMP clients.

2005-08-18[PATCH] NFS: split nfsi->flags into two fieldsChuck Lever
Certain bits in nfsi->flags can be manipulated with atomic bitops, and some are better manipulated via logical bitmask operations. This patch splits the flags field into two. The next patch introduces atomic bitops for one of the fields. Test plan: Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.

2005-06-22[PATCH] NFS: Cache the NFSv3 acls.Andreas Gruenbacher
Attach acls to inodes in the icache to avoid unnecessary GETACL RPC round-trips. As long as the client doesn't retrieve any acls itself, only the default acls of exiting directories and the default and access acls of new directories will end up in the cache, which preserves some memory compared to always caching the access and default acl of all files.

2005-06-22[PATCH] NFS: Fix handling of the umask when an NFSv3 default acl is present.Andreas Gruenbacher
NFSv3 has no concept of a umask on the server side: The client applies the umask locally, and sends the effective permissions to the server. This behavior is wrong when files are created in a directory that has a default ACL. In this case, the umask is supposed to be ignored, and only the default ACL determines the file's effective permissions. Usually its the server's task to conditionally apply the umask. But since the server knows nothing about the umask, we have to do it on the client side. This patch tries to fetch the parent directory's default ACL before creating a new file, computes the appropriate create mode to send to the server, and finally sets the new file's access and default acl appropriately. Many thanks to Buck Huppmann <buchk@pobox.com> for sending the initial version of this patch, as well as for arguing why we need this change.

2005-06-22[PATCH] NFS: Add support for NFSv3 ACLsAndreas Gruenbacher
This adds acl support fo nfs clients via the NFSACL protocol extension, by implementing the getxattr, listxattr, setxattr, and removexattr iops for the system.posix_acl_access and system.posix_acl_default attributes. This patch implements a dumb version that uses no caching (and thus adds some overhead). (Another patch in this patchset adds caching as well.)
