2008-07-09rpc: minor cleanup of scheduler callback code\\\"J. Bruce Fields\\\
Try to make the comment here a little more clear and concise. Also, this macro definition seems unnecessary. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-02-28SUNRPC: Add a timer function to wait queues.Trond Myklebust
This is designed to replace the timeout timer in the individual rpc_tasks. By putting the timer function in the wait queue, we will eventually be able to reduce the total number of timers in use by the RPC subsystem. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-02-25SUNRPC: Run rpc timeout functions as callbacks instead of in softirqsTrond Myklebust
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. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-02-25SUNRPC: Add a new helper rpc_wake_up_queued_task()Trond Myklebust
In all cases where we currently use rpc_wake_up_task(), we almost always know on which waitqueue the rpc_task is actually sleeping. This will allows us to simplify the queue locking in a future patch. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-02-25SUNRPC: Allow the rpc_release() callback to be run on another workqueueTrond Myklebust
A lot of the work done by the rpc_release() callback is inappropriate for rpciod as it will often involve things like starting a new rpc call in order to clean up state after an interrupted NFSv4 open() call, or calls to mntput(), etc. This patch allows the caller of rpc_run_task() to specify that the rpc_release callback should run on a different workqueue than the default rpciod_workqueue.

2007-12-06NFS: Switch from intr mount option to TASK_KILLABLEMatthew Wilcox
By using the TASK_KILLABLE infrastructure, we can get rid of the 'intr' mount option. We have to use _killable everywhere instead of _interruptible as we get rid of rpc_clnt_sigmask/sigunmask. Signed-off-by: Liam R. Howlett <howlett@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com>
2007-07-10SUNRPC: Remove the tk_auth macro...Trond Myklebust
We should almost always be deferencing the rpc_auth struct by means of the credential's cr_auth field instead of the rpc_clnt->cl_auth anyway. Fix up that historical mistake, and remove the macro that propagated it. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2007-04-30SUNRPC: Eliminate side effects from rpc_mallocChuck Lever
Currently rpc_malloc sets req->rq_buffer internally. Make this a more generic interface: return a pointer to the new buffer (or NULL) and make the caller set req->rq_buffer and req->rq_bufsize. This looks much more like kmalloc and eliminates the side effects. To fix a potential deadlock, this patch also replaces GFP_NOFS with GFP_NOWAIT in rpc_malloc. This prevents async RPCs from sleeping outside the RPC's task scheduler while allocating their buffer.

2007-02-20[PATCH] Fix build errors if bitop functions are do {} while macrosRalf Baechle
If one of clear_bit, change_bit or set_bit is defined as a do { } while (0) function usage of these functions in parenthesis like (foo_bit(23, &var)) while be expaned to something like (do { ... } while (0)}). resulting in a build error.

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.

2006-03-20SUNRPC: introduce per-task RPC iostatsChuck Lever
Account for various things that occur while an RPC task is executed. Separate timers for RPC round trip and RPC execution time show how long RPC requests wait in queue before being sent. Eventually these will be accumulated at xprt_release time in one place where they can be viewed from userland. Test plan: Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled.

2006-01-06SUNRPC: switchable buffer allocationChuck Lever
Add RPC client transport switch support for replacing buffer management on a per-transport basis. In the current IPv4 socket transport implementation, RPC buffers are allocated as needed for each RPC message that is sent. Some transport implementations may choose to use pre-allocated buffers for encoding, sending, receiving, and unmarshalling RPC messages, however. For transports capable of direct data placement, the buffers can be carved out of a pre-registered area of memory rather than from a slab cache. Test-plan: Millions of fsx operations. Performance characterization with "sio" and "iozone". Use oprofile and other tools to look for significant regression in CPU utilization.

2006-01-06NFSv4: stateful NFSv4 RPC call interfaceTrond Myklebust
The NFSv4 model requires us to complete all RPC calls that might establish state on the server whether or not the user wants to interrupt it. We may also need to schedule new work (including new RPC calls) in order to cancel the new state. The asynchronous RPC model will allow us to ensure that RPC calls always complete, but in order to allow for "synchronous" RPC, we want to add the ability to wait for completion. The waits are, of course, interruptible. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2006-01-06RPC: Clean up RPC task structureTrond Myklebust
Shrink the RPC task structure. Instead of storing separate pointers for task->tk_exit and task->tk_release, put them in a structure. Also pass the user data pointer as a parameter instead of passing it via task->tk_calldata. This enables us to nest callbacks. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
