  • The DNS resolver's use of the sunrpc cache involves a 'ttl' number
    (relative) rather that a timeout (absolute). This confused me when
    I wrote
    commit c5b29f885afe890f953f7f23424045cdad31d3e4
    "sunrpc: use seconds since boot in expiry cache"

    and I managed to break it. The effect is that any TTL is interpreted
    as 0, and nothing useful gets into the cache.

    This patch removes the use of get_expiry() - which really expects an
    expiry time - and uses get_uint() instead, treating the int correctly
    as a ttl.

    This fixes a regression that has been present since 2.6.37, causing
    certain NFS accesses in certain environments to incorrectly fail.

  • This patch exports symbols needed by the v4 module. In addition, I also
    switch over to using IS_ENABLED() to check if CONFIG_NFS_V4 or
    CONFIG_NFS_V4_MODULE are set.

    The module (nfs4.ko) will be created in the same directory as nfs.ko and
    will be automatically loaded the first time you try to mount over NFS v4.

  • Fix a number of "warning: symbol 'foo' was not declared. Should it be
    static?" conditions.

    Fix 2 cases of "warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer"

    in network context instead of using hard-coded "init_net".

  • This patch subscribes DNS resolver caches to RPC pipefs notifications. Notifier
    is registering on NFS module load. This notifier callback is responsible for
    creation/destruction of PipeFS DNS resolver cache directory.
    Note that no locking required in notifier callback because PipeFS superblock
    pointer is passed as an argument from it's creation or destruction routine and
    thus we can be sure about it's validity.

  • This patch implements DNS resolver cache creation and registration for each
    alive network namespace context.
    This was done by registering NFS per-net operations, responsible for DNS cache
    allocation/register and unregister/destructioning instead of initialization and
    destruction of static "nfs_dns_resolve" cache detail (this one was removed).
    Pointer to network dns resolver cache is stored in new per-net "nfs_net"
    structure.
    This patch also changes nfs_dns_resolve_name() function prototype (and it's
    calls) by adding network pointer parameter, which is used to get proper DNS
    resolver cache pointer for do_cache_lookup_wait() call.

    Note: empty nfs_dns_resolver_init() and nfs_dns_resolver_destroy() functions
    will be used in next patch in the series.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • The NFSv4 and NFSv4.1 protocols both allow for the redirection of a client
    from one server to another in order to support filesystem migration and
    replication. For full protocol support, we need to add the ability to
    convert a DNS host name into an IP address that we can feed to the RPC
    client.

    We'll reuse the sunrpc cache, now that it has been converted to work with
    rpc_pipefs.
