Maintaining two parallel ways of doing synchronous writes is rather
pointless. This patch gets rid of the legacy nfs_writepage_sync(), and
replaces it with the faster asynchronous writes.Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

If the LOOKUP or GETATTR in nfs_instantiate fail, nfs_instantiate will do a
d_drop before returning. But some callers already do a d_drop in the case
of an error return. Make certain we do only one d_drop in all error paths.This issue was introduced because over time, the symlink proc API diverged
slightly from the create/mkdir/mknod proc API. To prevent other coding
mistakes of this type, change the symlink proc API to be more like
create/mkdir/mknod and move the nfs_instantiate call into the symlink proc
routines so it is used in exactly the same way for create, mkdir, mknod,
and symlink.Test plan:

The logic in nfs_direct_read_schedule and nfs_direct_write_schedule can
allow data->npages to be one larger than rpages. This causes a page
pointer to be written beyond the end of the pagevec in nfs_read_data (or
nfs_write_data).Fix this by making nfs_(read|write)_alloc() calculate the size of the
pagevec array, and initialise data->npages.Also get rid of the redundant argument to nfs_commit_alloc().

Neil Brown observed that the current limit of 32 bytes isn't enough to hold two
ip addresses and the rest of the stuff we're putting in it, so it's often
truncated to the point where it's unlikely to be unique. This can cause
spurious CLID_INUSE's from the server.Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields

Neil Brown observed that the kmalloc() in nfs_get_user_pages() is more
likely to fail if the I/O is large enough to require the allocation of more
than a single page to keep track of all the pinned pages in the user's
buffer.Instead of tracking one large page array per dreq/iocb, track pages per
nfs_read/write_data, just like the cached I/O path does. An array for
pages is already allocated for us by nfs_readdata_alloc() (and the write
and commit equivalents).This is also required for adding support for vectored I/O to the NFS direct
I/O path.The original reason to pin the user buffer and allocate all the NFS data
structures before trying to schedule I/O was to ensure all needed resources
are allocated on the client before starting to send requests. This reduces
the chance that resource exhaustion on the client will cause a short read
or write.On the other hand, for an application making very large application I/O
requests, this means that it will be nearly impossible for the application
to make forward progress on a resource-limited client.Thus, moving the buffer pinning functionality into the I/O scheduling
loops should be good for scalability. The next patch will do the same for
NFS data structure allocation.Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

Respond to a moved error on NFS lookup by setting up the referral.
Note: We don't actually follow the referral during lookup/getattr, but
later when we detect fsid mismatch in inode revalidation (similar to the
processing done for cloning submounts). Referrals will have fake attributes
until they are actually followed or traversed.Signed-off-by: Manoj Naik

NFSv4 allows for the fact that filesystems may be replicated across
several servers or that they may be migrated to a backup server in case of
failure of the primary server.
fs_locations is an NFSv4 operation for retrieving information about the
location of migrated and/or replicated filesystems.Based on an initial implementation by Jiaying Zhang

Same callback hierarchy inversion as for the NFS write calls. This patch is
not strictly speaking needed by the O_DIRECT code, but avoids confusing
differences between the asynchronous read and write code.Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust
-
This patch inverts the callback hierarchy for NFS write calls.
Instead of having the NFSv2/v3/v4-specific code set up the RPC callback
ops, we allow the original caller to do so. This allows for more
flexibility w.r.t. how to set up and tear down the nfs_write_data
structure while still allowing the NFSv3/v4 code to perform error
handling.The greater flexibility is needed by the asynchronous O_DIRECT code, which
wants to be able to hold on to the original nfs_write_data structures after
the WRITE RPC call has completed in order to be able to replay them if the
COMMIT call determines that the server has rebooted.Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

Most NFS server implementations allow up to 64KB reads and writes on the
wire. The Solaris NFS server allows up to a megabyte, for instance.Now the Linux NFS client supports transfer sizes up to 1MB, too. This will
help reduce protocol and context switch overhead on read/write intensive NFS
workloads, and support larger atomic read and write operations on servers
that support them.Test-plan:

Once the state_owner and lock_owner semaphores get removed, it will be
possible for other OPEN requests to reopen the same file if they have
lower sequence ids than our CLOSE call.
This patch ensures that we recheck the file state once
nfs_wait_on_sequence() has completed waiting.Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust
-
NFSv4 file state-changing functions such as OPEN, CLOSE, LOCK,... are all
labelled with "sequence identifiers" in order to prevent the server from
reordering RPC requests, as this could cause its file state to
become out of sync with the client.Currently the NFS client code enforces this ordering locally using
semaphores to restrict access to structures until the RPC call is done.
This, of course, only works with synchronous RPC calls, since the
user process must first grab the semaphore.
By dropping semaphores, and instead teaching the RPC engine to hold
the RPC calls until they are ready to be sent, we can extend this
process to work nicely with asynchronous RPC calls too.This patch adds a new list called "rpc_sequence" that defines the order
of the RPC calls to be sent. We add one such list for each state_owner.
When an RPC call is ready to be sent, it checks if it is top of the
rpc_sequence list. If so, it proceeds. If not, it goes back to sleep,
and loops until it hits top of the list.
Once the RPC call has completed, it can then bump the sequence id counter,
and remove itself from the rpc_sequence list, and then wake up the next
sleeper.Note that the state_owner sequence ids and lock_owner sequence ids are
all indexed to the same rpc_sequence list, so OPEN, LOCK,... requests
are all ordered w.r.t. each other.Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust
