2006-09-23NFS: Rename nfs_server::nfs4_stateDavid Howells6-33/+33
Rename nfs_server::nfs4_state to nfs_client as it will be used to represent the client state for NFS2 and NFS3 also. Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-09-23NFS: Rename struct nfs4_client to struct nfs_clientDavid Howells11-97/+97

2006-09-23NFS: Fix up split of fs/nfs/inode.cDavid Howells4-42/+39
Fix ups for the splitting of the superblock stuff out of fs/nfs/inode.c, including: (*) Move the callback tcpport module param into callback.c. (*) Move the idmap cache timeout module param into idmap.c. (*) Changes to internal.h: (*) namespace-nfs4.c was renamed to nfs4namespace.c. (*) nfs_stat_to_errno() is in nfs2xdr.c, not nfs4xdr.c. (*) nfs4xdr.c is contingent on CONFIG_NFS_V4. (*) nfs4_path() is only uses if CONFIG_NFS_V4 is set. Plus also: (*) The sec_flavours[] table should really be const.

2006-09-23NFS: Add an ACCESS cache memory shrinkerTrond Myklebust3-0/+52
A pinned inode may in theory end up filling memory with cached ACCESS calls. This patch ensures that the VM may shrink away the cache in these particular cases. The shrinker works by iterating through the list of inodes on the global nfs_access_lru_list, and removing the least recently used access cache entry until it is done (or until the entire cache is empty).

2006-09-08[PATCH] NFS: large non-page-aligned direct I/O clobbers memoryTrond Myklebust3-69/+42
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().

2006-08-24NFS: Check lengths more thoroughly in NFS4 readdir XDR decodeDavid Howells1-10/+11
Check the bounds of length specifiers more thoroughly in the XDR decoding of NFS4 readdir reply data. Currently, if the server returns a bitmap or attr length that causes the current decode point pointer to wrap, this could go undetected (consider a small "negative" length on a 32-bit machine). Also add a check into the main XDR decode handler to make sure that the amount of data is a multiple of four bytes (as specified by RFC-1014). This makes sure that we can do u32* pointer subtraction in the NFS client without risking an undefined result (the result is undefined if the pointers are not correctly aligned with respect to one another).

2006-06-30[PATCH] zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_unstable to per zone counterChristoph Lameter1-4/+2
Conversion of nr_unstable to a per zone counter We need to do some special modifications to the nfs code since there are multiple cases of disposition and we need to have a page ref for proper accounting. This converts the last critical page state of the VM and therefore we need to remove several functions that were depending on GET_PAGE_STATE_LAST in order to make the kernel compile again. We are only left with event type counters in page state.

This makes nr_dirty a per zone counter. Looping over all processors is avoided during writeback state determination.

2006-06-28[PATCH] fix static linking of NFSDavid Brownell6-9/+9
Builds on ARM report link problems with common configurations like statically linked NFS (for nfsroot).

2006-06-24NFS: Eliminate nfs_get_user_pages()Chuck Lever1-94/+111
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.

2006-06-24NFS: "open code" the NFS direct write reschedulerChuck Lever1-8/+43
An NFSv3/v4 client must reschedule on-the-wire writes if the writes are UNSTABLE, and the server reboots before the client can complete a subsequent COMMIT request. To support direct asynchronous scatter-gather writes, the write rescheduler in fs/nfs/direct.c must not depend on the I/O parameters in the controlling nfs_direct_req structure. iovecs can be somewhat arbitrarily complex, so there could be an unbounded amount of information to save for a rarely encountered requirement. Refactor the direct write rescheduler so it uses information from each nfs_write_data structure to reschedule writes, instead of caching that information in the controlling nfs_direct_req structure.

2006-06-23[PATCH] vfs: add lock owner argument to flush operationMiklos Szeredi1-2/+2
Pass the POSIX lock owner ID to the flush operation. This is useful for filesystems which don't want to store any locking state in inode->i_flock but want to handle locking/unlocking POSIX locks internally. FUSE is one such filesystem but I think it possible that some network filesystems would need this also. Also add a flag to indicate that a POSIX locking request was generated by close(), so filesystems using the above feature won't send an extra locking request in this case.

2006-06-23[PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentryDavid Howells1-2/+3
Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock pointer. This complements the get_sb() patch. That reduced the significance of sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there. However, NFS does require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation. This permits the root in the vfsmount to be used instead. linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build successfully. Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.
