It's sort of ridiculous that we've never had a working reply cache for
NFSv4.On the other hand, we may still not: our current reply cache is likely
not very good, especially in the TCP case (which is the only case that
matters for v4). What we really need here is some serious testing.Anyway, here's a start.

…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 allmodconfig8. 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.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Lots of include/linux/nfsd/* headers are only used by
nfsd module. Move them to the source directorySigned-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

Now that the headers are fixed and carry their own wait, all fs/nfsd/
source files can include a minimal set of headers. and still compile just
fine.This patch should improve the compilation speed of the nfsd module.

Fix a regression in the reply cache introduced when the code was
converted to use proper Linux lists. When a new entry needs to be
inserted, the case where all the entries are currently being used
by threads is not correctly detected. This can result in memory
corruption and a crash. In the current code this is an extremely
unlikely corner case; it would require the machine to have 1024
nfsd threads and all of them to be busy at the same time. However,
upcoming reply cache changes make this more likely; a crash due to
this problem was actually observed in field.Signed-off-by: Greg Banks

If the reply cache initialization fails due to a kmalloc failure,
currently we try to soldier on with a reduced (or nonexistant) reply
cache.Better to just fail immediately: the failure is then much easier to
understand and debug, and it could save us complexity in some later
code. (But actually, it doesn't help currently because the cache is
also turned off in some odd failure cases; we should probably find a
better way to handle those failure cases some day.)Fix some minor style problems while we're at it, and rename
nfsd_cache_init() to remove the need for a comment describing it.Acked-by: NeilBrown

Expand the rq_addr field to allow it to contain larger addresses.
Specifically, we replace a 'sockaddr_in' with a 'sockaddr_storage', then
everywhere the 'sockaddr_in' was referenced, we use instead an accessor
function (svc_addr_in) which safely casts the _storage to _in.Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

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!
