Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever: - filehandle signing to defend against filehandle-guessing attacks (Benjamin Coddington) The server now appends a SipHash-2-4 MAC to each filehandle when the new "sign_fh" export option is enabled. NFSD then verifies filehandles received from clients against the expected MAC; mismatches return NFS error STALE - convert the entire NLMv4 server-side XDR layer from hand-written C to xdrgen-generated code, spanning roughly thirty patches (Chuck Lever) XDR functions are generally boilerplate code and are easy to get wrong. The goals of this conversion are improved memory safety, lower maintenance burden, and groundwork for eventual Rust code generation for these functions. - improve pNFS block/SCSI layout robustness with two related changes (Dai Ngo) SCSI persistent reservation fencing is now tracked per client and per device via an xarray, to avoid both redundant preempt operations on devices already fenced and a potential NFSD deadlock when all nfsd threads are waiting for a layout return. - scalability and infrastructure improvements Sincere thanks to all contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug reporters who participated in the v7.1 NFSD development cycle. * tag 'nfsd-7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux: (83 commits) NFSD: Docs: clean up pnfs server timeout docs nfsd: fix comment typo in nfsxdr nfsd: fix comment typo in nfs3xdr NFSD: convert callback RPC program to per-net namespace NFSD: use per-operation statidx for callback procedures svcrdma: Use contiguous pages for RDMA Read sink buffers SUNRPC: Add svc_rqst_page_release() helper SUNRPC: xdr.h: fix all kernel-doc warnings svcrdma: Factor out WR chain linking into helper svcrdma: Add Write chunk WRs to the RPC's Send WR chain svcrdma: Clean up use of rdma->sc_pd->device svcrdma: Clean up use of rdma->sc_pd->device in Receive paths svcrdma: Add fair queuing for Send Queue access SUNRPC: Optimize rq_respages allocation in svc_alloc_arg SUNRPC: Track consumed rq_pages entries svcrdma: preserve rq_next_page in svc_rdma_save_io_pages SUNRPC: Handle NULL entries in svc_rqst_release_pages SUNRPC: Allocate a separate Reply page array SUNRPC: Tighten bounds checking in svc_rqst_replace_page NFSD: Sign filehandles ...

xprtrdma: Close lost-wakeup race in xprt_rdma_alloc_slot

2026-04-13T18:56:20+00:00

xprt_rdma_alloc_slot() and xprt_rdma_free_slot() lack serialization between the buffer pool and the backlog queue. A buffer freed after rpcrdma_buffer_get() finds the pool empty but before rpc_sleep_on() places the task on the backlog is returned to the pool with no waiter to wake, leaving the task stuck on the backlog indefinitely. After joining the backlog, re-check the pool and route any recovered buffer through xprt_wake_up_backlog(), whose queue lock serializes with concurrent wakeups and avoids double-assignment of slots. Because xprt_rdma_free_slot() does not hold reserve_lock, the XPRT_CONGESTED double-check in xprt_throttle_congested() is ineffective: a task can join the backlog through that path after free_slot has already found it empty and cleared the bit. Avoid this by using xprt_add_backlog_noncongested(), which queues the task without setting XPRT_CONGESTED, so every allocation reaches xprt_rdma_alloc_slot() and its post-sleep re-check.

folio_batch: rename pagevec.h to folio_batch.h

struct pagevec was removed in commit 1e0877d58b1e ("mm: remove struct pagevec"). Rename include/linux/pagevec.h to reflect reality and update includes tree-wide. Add the new filename to MAINTAINERS explicitly, as it no longer matches the "include/linux/page[-_]*" pattern in MEMORY MANAGEMENT - CORE.

SUNRPC: Add svc_rqst_page_release() helper

2026-04-03T13:26:17+00:00

svc_rqst_replace_page() releases displaced pages through a per-rqst folio batch, but exposes the add-or-flush sequence directly. svc_tcp_restore_pages() releases displaced pages individually with put_page(). Introduce svc_rqst_page_release() to encapsulate the batched release mechanism. Convert svc_rqst_replace_page() and svc_tcp_restore_pages() to use it. The latter now benefits from the same batched release that svc_rqst_replace_page() already uses. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

svcrdma: Add Write chunk WRs to the RPC's Send WR chain

2026-03-30T01:25:09+00:00

Previously, Write chunk RDMA Writes were posted via a separate ib_post_send() call with their own completion handler. Each Write chunk incurred a doorbell and generated a completion event. Link Write chunk WRs onto the RPC Reply's Send WR chain so that a single ib_post_send() call posts both the RDMA Writes and the Send WR. A single completion event signals that all operations have finished. This reduces both doorbell rate and completion rate, as well as eliminating the latency of a round-trip between the Write chunk completion and the subsequent Send WR posting. The lifecycle of Write chunk resources changes: previously, the svc_rdma_write_done() completion handler released Write chunk resources when RDMA Writes completed. With WR chaining, resources remain live until the Send completion. A new sc_write_info_list tracks Write chunk metadata attached to each Send context, and svc_rdma_write_chunk_release() frees these resources when the Send context is released. The svc_rdma_write_done() handler now handles only error cases. On success it returns immediately since the Send completion handles resource release. On failure (WR flush), it closes the connection to signal to the client that the RPC Reply is incomplete. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

svcrdma: Add fair queuing for Send Queue access

2026-03-30T01:25:09+00:00

When the Send Queue fills, multiple threads may wait for SQ slots. The previous implementation had no ordering guarantee, allowing starvation when one thread repeatedly acquires slots while others wait indefinitely. Introduce a ticket-based fair queuing system. Each waiter takes a ticket number and is served in FIFO order. This ensures forward progress for all waiters when SQ capacity is constrained. The implementation has two phases: 1. Fast path: attempt to reserve SQ slots without waiting 2. Slow path: take a ticket, wait for turn, then wait for slots The ticket system adds two atomic counters to the transport: - sc_sq_ticket_head: next ticket to issue - sc_sq_ticket_tail: ticket currently being served A dedicated wait queue (sc_sq_ticket_wait) handles ticket ordering, separate from sc_send_wait which handles SQ capacity. This separation ensures that send completions (the high-frequency wake source) wake only the current ticket holder rather than all queued waiters. Ticket handoff wakes only the ticket wait queue, and each ticket holder that exits via connection close propagates the wake to the next waiter in line. When a waiter successfully reserves slots, it advances the tail counter and wakes the next waiter. This creates an orderly handoff that prevents starvation while maintaining good throughput on the fast path when contention is low. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

SUNRPC: Optimize rq_respages allocation in svc_alloc_arg

2026-03-30T01:25:09+00:00

svc_alloc_arg() invokes alloc_pages_bulk() with the full rq_maxpages count (~259 for 1MB messages) for the rq_respages array, causing a full-array scan despite most slots holding valid pages. svc_rqst_release_pages() NULLs only the range [rq_respages, rq_next_page) after each RPC, so only that range contains NULL entries. Limit the rq_respages fill in svc_alloc_arg() to that range instead of scanning the full array. svc_init_buffer() initializes rq_next_page to span the entire rq_respages array, so the first svc_alloc_arg() call fills all slots.

SUNRPC: Track consumed rq_pages entries

2026-03-30T01:25:09+00:00

The rq_pages array holds pages allocated for incoming RPC requests. Two transport receive paths NULL entries in rq_pages to prevent svc_rqst_release_pages() from freeing pages that the transport has taken ownership of: - svc_tcp_save_pages() moves partial request data pages to svsk->sk_pages during multi-fragment TCP reassembly. - svc_rdma_clear_rqst_pages() moves request data pages to head->rc_pages because they are targets of active RDMA Read WRs. A new rq_pages_nfree field in struct svc_rqst records how many entries were NULLed. svc_alloc_arg() uses it to refill only those entries rather than scanning the full rq_pages array. In steady state, the transport NULLs a handful of entries per RPC, so the allocator visits only those entries instead of the full ~259 slots (for 1MB messages).
