The original purpose of the per-superblock d_anon list was to
keep disconnected dentries in the cache between consecutive
requests to the NFS server. Dentries can be disconnected if
a client holds a file open and repeatedly performs IO on it,
and if the server drops the dentry, whether due to memory
pressure, server restart, or "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches".This purpose was thwarted by commit 75a6f82a0d10 ("freeing unlinked
file indefinitely delayed") which caused disconnected dentries
to be freed as soon as their refcount reached zero.This means that, when a dentry being used by nfsd gets disconnected, a
new one needs to be allocated for every request (unless requests
overlap). As the dentry has no name, no parent, and no children,
there is little of value to cache. As small memory allocations are
typically fast (from per-cpu free lists) this likely has little cost.This means that the original purpose of s_anon is no longer relevant:
there is no longer any need to keep disconnected dentries on a list so
they appear to be hashed.However, s_anon now has a new use. When you mount an NFS filesystem,
the dentry stored in s_root is just a placebo. The "real" root dentry
is allocated using d_obtain_root() and so it kept on the s_anon list.
I don't know the reason for this, but suspect it related to NFSv4
where a mount of "server:/some/path" require NFS to look up the root
filehandle on the server, then walk down "/some" and "/path" to get
the filehandle to mount.Whatever the reason, NFS depends on the s_anon list and on
shrink_dcache_for_umount() pruning all dentries on this list. So we
cannot simply remove s_anon.We could just leave the code unchanged, but apart from that being
potentially confusing, the (unfair) bit-spin-lock which protects
s_anon can become a bottle neck when lots of disconnected dentries are
being created.So this patch renames s_anon to s_roots, and stops storing
disconnected dentries on the list. Only dentries obtained with
d_obtain_root() are now stored on this list. There are many fewer of
these (only NFS and NILFS2 use the call, and only during filesystem
mount) so contention on the bit-lock will not be a problem.Possibly an alternate solution should be found for NFS and NILFS2, but
that would require understanding their needs first.Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

This is a simple extension to the block layout driver to use SCSI
persistent reservations for access control and fencing, as well as
SCSI VPD pages for device identification.For this we need to pass the nfs4_client to the proc_getdeviceinfo method
to generate the reservation key, and add a new fence_client method
to allow for fence actions in the layout driver.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

A dhcp server may provide parameters to a client from a pool of IP
addresses and using a shared rootfs, or provide a specific set of
parameters for a specific client, usually using the MAC address to
identify each client individually. The dhcp protocol also specifies
a client-id field which can be used to determine the correct
parameters to supply when no MAC address is available. There is
currently no way to tell the kernel to supply a specific client-id,
only the userspace dhcp clients support this feature, but this can
not be used when the network is needed before userspace is available
such as when the root filesystem is on NFS.This patch is to be able to do something like "ip=dhcp,client_id_type,
client_id_value", as a kernel parameter to enable the kernel to
identify itself to the server.Signed-off-by: Li RongQing

The main advantge of this new upcall mechanism is that it can handle
big tickets as seen in Kerberos implementations where tickets carry
authorization data like the MS-PAC buffer with AD or the Posix Authorization
Data being discussed in IETF on the krbwg working group.The Gssproxy program is used to perform the accept_sec_context call on the
kernel's behalf. The code is changed to also pass the input buffer straight
to upcall mechanism to avoid allocating and copying many pages as tokens can
be as big (potentially more in future) as 64KiB.Signed-off-by: Simo Sorce

Our server rejects compounds containing more than one write operation.
It's unclear whether this is really permitted by the spec; with 4.0,
it's possibly OK, with 4.1 (which has clearer limits on compound
parameters), it's probably not OK. No client that we're aware of has
ever done this, but in theory it could be useful.The source of the limitation: we need an array of iovecs to pass to the
write operation. In the worst case that array of iovecs could have
hundreds of elements (the maximum rwsize divided by the page size), so
it's too big to put on the stack, or in each compound op. So we instead
keep a single such array in the compound argument.We fill in that array at the time we decode the xdr operation.
But we decode every op in the compound before executing any of them. So
once we've used that array we can't decode another write.If we instead delay filling in that array till the time we actually
perform the write, we can reuse it.Another option might be to switch to decoding compound ops one at a
time. I considered doing that, but it has a number of other side
effects, and I'd rather fix just this one problem for now.Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields

Pull NFS client updates from Trond Myklebust:
"Features include:- Remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL dependency from NFSv4.1
Aside from the issues discussed at the LKS, distros are shipping
NFSv4.1 with all the trimmings.
- Fix fdatasync()/fsync() for the corner case of a server reboot.
- NFSv4 OPEN access fix: finally distinguish correctly between
open-for-read and open-for-execute permissions in all situations.
- Ensure that the TCP socket is closed when we're in CLOSE_WAIT
- More idmapper bugfixes
- Lots of pNFS bugfixes and cleanups to remove unnecessary state and
make the code easier to read.
- In cases where a pNFS read or write fails, allow the client to
resume trying layoutgets after two minutes of read/write-
through-mds.
- More net namespace fixes to the NFSv4 callback code.
- More net namespace fixes to the NFSv3 locking code.
- More NFSv4 migration preparatory patches.
Including patches to detect network trunking in both NFSv4 and
NFSv4.1
- pNFS block updates to optimise LAYOUTGET calls."* tag 'nfs-for-3.7-1' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/linux-nfs: (113 commits)
pnfsblock: cleanup nfs4_blkdev_get
NFS41: send real read size in layoutget
NFS41: send real write size in layoutget
NFS: track direct IO left bytes
NFSv4.1: Cleanup ugliness in pnfs_layoutgets_blocked()
NFSv4.1: Ensure that the layout sequence id stays 'close' to the current
NFSv4.1: Deal with seqid wraparound in the pNFS return-on-close code
NFSv4 set open access operation call flag in nfs4_init_opendata_res
NFSv4.1: Remove the dependency on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
NFSv4 reduce attribute requests for open reclaim
NFSv4: nfs4_open_done first must check that GETATTR decoded a file type
NFSv4.1: Deal with wraparound when updating the layout "barrier" seqid
NFSv4.1: Deal with wraparound issues when updating the layout stateid
NFSv4.1: Always set the layout stateid if this is the first layoutget
NFSv4.1: Fix another refcount issue in pnfs_find_alloc_layout
NFSv4: don't put ACCESS in OPEN compound if O_EXCL
NFSv4: don't check MAY_WRITE access bit in OPEN
NFS: Set key construction data for the legacy upcall
NFSv4.1: don't do two EXCHANGE_IDs on mount
NFS: nfs41_walk_client_list(): re-lock before iterating

This is to complete part of the Userspace API (UAPI) disintegration for which
the preparatory patches were pulled recently. After these patches, userspace
headers will be segregated into:include/uapi/linux/.../foo.h
for the userspace interface stuff, and:
include/linux/.../foo.h
for the strictly kernel internal stuff.

An optional boot parameter is introduced to allow client
administrators to specify a string that the Linux NFS client can
insert into its nfs_client_id4 id string, to make it both more
globally unique, and to ensure that it doesn't change even if the
client's nodename changes.If this boot parameter is not specified, the client's nodename is
used, as before.Client installation procedures can create a unique string (typically,
a UUID) which remains unchanged during the lifetime of that client
instance. This works just like creating a UUID for the label of the
system's root and boot volumes.Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

On small systems (e.g. embedded ones) IP addresses are often configured
by bootloaders and get assigned to kernel via parameter "ip=". If set to
"ip=dhcp", even nameserver entries from DHCP daemons are handled. These
entries exported in /proc/net/pnp are commonly linked by /etc/resolv.conf.To configure nameservers for networks without DHCP, this patch adds option
and to kernel-parameter 'ip='.Signed-off-by: Christoph Fritz

These are only needed by nfs-utils. But I needed to remind myself how
they worked recently and thought this might be helpful. It's short and
incomplete for now as I was only interested in startup, shutdown, and
configuration of listening sockets.Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields

The pnfs-objects protocol mandates that we autologin into devices not
present in the system, according to information specified in the
get_device_info returned from the server.The Protocol specifies two login hints.
1. An IP address:port combination
2. A string URI which is constructed as a URL with a protocol prefix
followed by :// and a string as address. For each protocol prefix
the string-address format might be different.We only support the second option. The first option is just redundant
to the second one.
NOTE: The Kernel part of autologin does not parse the URI string. It
just channels it to a user-mode script. So any new login protocols should
only update the user-mode script which is a part of the nfs-utils package,
but the Kernel need not change.We implement the autologin by using the call_usermodehelper() API.
(Thanks to Steve Dickson for pointing it out)
So there is no running daemon needed, and/or special setup.We Add the osd_login_prog Kernel module parameters which defaults to:
/sbin/osd_loginKernel try's to upcall the program specified in osd_login_prog. If the file is
not found or the execution fails Kernel will disable any farther upcalls, by
zeroing out osd_login_prog, Until Admin re-enables it by setting the
osd_login_prog parameter to a proper program.Also add text about the osd_login program command line API to:
Documentation/filesystems/nfs/pnfs.txt
and documentation of the new osd_login_prog module parameter to:

There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
they were part of.Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle
