Trond Myklebust 632e3bdc50 SUNRPC: Ensure client closes the socket when server initiates a close
If the server decides to close the RPC socket, we currently don't actually
 respond until either another RPC call is scheduled, or until xprt_autoclose()
 gets called by the socket expiry timer (which may be up to 5 minutes
 later).

 This patch ensures that xprt_autoclose() is called much sooner if the
 server closes the socket.

Chuck Lever f518e35aec SUNRPC: get rid of cl_chatty
Clean up: Every ULP that uses the in-kernel RPC client, except the NLM
 client, sets cl_chatty.  There's no reason why NLM shouldn't set it, so
 just get rid of cl_chatty and always be verbose.

 Test-plan:
 Compile with CONFIG_NFS enabled.

Chuck Lever 922004120b SUNRPC: transport switch API for setting port number
At some point, transport endpoint addresses will no longer be IPv4.  To hide
 the structure of the rpc_xprt's address field from ULPs and port mappers,
 add an API for setting the port number during an RPC bind operation.

 Test-plan:
 Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily).  Connectathon
 with UDP and TCP.  NFSv2/3 and NFSv4 mounting should be carefully checked.
 Probably need to rig a server where certain services aren't running, or
 that returns an error for some typical operation.

Chuck Lever 0210714834 SUNRPC: switchable buffer allocation
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.

Trond Myklebust 44c288732f NFSv4: stateful NFSv4 RPC call interface
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.

Olaf Kirch 93fbf1a5de [PATCH] Keep nfsd from exiting when seeing recv() errors
I submitted this one previously - svc_tcp_recvfrom currently returns
any errors to the caller, including ECONNRESET and the like.

This is something svc_recv isn't able to deal with:

	len = svsk->sk_recvfrom(rqstp);
	[...]
	if (len == 0 || len == -EAGAIN) {
		[...]
		return -EAGAIN;
	}

	[...]
	return len;

The nfsd main loop will exit when it sees an error code other than
EAGAIN.

The following patch fixes this problem

svc_recv is not equipped to deal with error codes other than EAGAIN,
and will propagate anything else (such as ECONNRESET) up to nfsd,
causing it to exit.

NeilBrown 1f1e030bf7 [PATCH] knfsd: fix hash function for IP addresses on 64bit little-endian machines.
The hash.h hash_long function, when used on a 64 bit machine, ignores many
of the middle-order bits.  (The prime chosen it too bit-sparse).

IP addresses for clients of an NFS server are very likely to differ only in
the low-order bits.  As addresses are stored in network-byte-order, these
bits become middle-order bits in a little-endian 64bit 'long', and so do
not contribute to the hash.  Thus you can have the situation where all
clients appear on one hash chain.

So, until hash_long is fixed (or maybe forever), us a hash function that
works well on IP addresses - xor the bytes together.

Thanks to "Iozone" <capps@iozone.org> for identifying this problem.

Eric Dumazet 90ddc4f047 [NET]: move struct proto_ops to const
I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)

This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.

This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)

I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.

This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
speedup some socket system calls.

Being kernel-threads, nfsd servers don't get pre-empted (depending on

new request to serve), to make sure we play nice.

Herbert Xu fb286bb299 [NET]: Detect hardware rx checksum faults correctly
Here is the patch that introduces the generic skb_checksum_complete
which also checks for hardware RX checksum faults.  If that happens,
it'll call netdev_rx_csum_fault which currently prints out a stack
trace with the device name.  In future it can turn off RX checksum.

I've converted every spot under net/ that does RX checksum checks to
use skb_checksum_complete or __skb_checksum_complete with the
exceptions of:

* Those places where checksums are done bit by bit.  These will call
netdev_rx_csum_fault directly.

* The following have not been completely checked/converted:

ipmr
ip_vs
netfilter
dccp

If the call to xprt_transmit() fails due to socket buffer space
exhaustion, we do not need to re-encode the RPC message when we

Re-encoding can actually end up triggering the WARN_ON() in

auth->au_rslack has changed.
It can also cause us to increment the RPCSEC_GSS sequence number
beyond the limits of the allowed window.

Christoph Hellwig 49705b7743 [PATCH] sanitize lookup_hash prototype
->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to
pass down lookup intents.  Unfortunately some callers of lookup_hash don't
actually pass this one down.  For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct
nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only
used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation.  All other
callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the
lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives
the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it.  All callers already have
the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem.

At the same time I'd like to deprecate the lookup_hash interface as there
are better exported interfaces for filesystem usage.  Before it can
actually be removed I need to fix up rpc_pipefs.

 Currently we calculate the au_rslack estimate when we check the verifier.
 Normally this only depends on the verifier size.  In the integrity case we add
 a few bytes to allow for a length and sequence number.

 It's a bit simpler to calculate only the verifier size when we check the
 verifier, and delay the full calculation till we unwrap.

Steve Dickson 747c5534c9 RPC: stops the release_pipe() funtion from being called twice
This patch stops the release_pipe() funtion from being called
 twice by invalidating the ops pointer in the rpc_inode
 when rpc_pipe_release() is called.

Trond Myklebust 5e5ce5be6f RPC: allow call_encode() to delay transmission of an RPC call.
Currently, call_encode will cause the entire RPC call to abort if it returns
 an error. This is unnecessarily rigid, and gets in the way of attempts
 to allow the NFSv4 layer to order RPC calls that carry sequence ids.

Chuck Lever ea635a517e SUNRPC: Retry rpcbind requests if the server's portmapper isn't up
After a server crash/reboot, rebinding should always retry, otherwise
 requests on "hard" mounts will fail when they shouldn't.

 Test plan:
 Run a lock-intensive workload against a server while rebooting the server
 repeatedly.

Al Viro dd0fc66fb3 [PATCH] gfp flags annotations - part 1
- added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t;

 - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly
   the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change
   generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with
   typedef) and documents what's going on far better.
