2017-04-20sunrpc: don't check for failure from mempool_alloc()NeilBrown1-8/+0
When mempool_alloc() is allowed to sleep (GFP_NOIO allows sleeping) it cannot fail. So rpc_alloc_task() cannot fail, so rpc_new_task doesn't need to test for failure. Consequently rpc_new_task() cannot fail, so the callers don't need to test. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@primarydata.com>

2016-12-02sunrpc: Don't engage exponential backoff when connection attempt is rejected.NeilBrown1-0/+2
xs_connect() contains an exponential backoff mechanism so the repeated connection attempts are delayed by longer and longer amounts. This is appropriate when the connection failed due to a timeout, but it not appropriate when a definitive "no" answer is received. In such cases, call_connect_status() imposes a minimum 3-second back-off, so not having the exponetial back-off will never result in immediate retries. The current situation is a problem when the NFS server tries to register with rpcbind but rpcbind isn't running. All connection attempts are made on the same "xprt" and as the connection is never "closed", the exponential back delays successive attempts to register, or de-register, different protocols. This results in a multi-minute delay with no benefit. So, when call_connect_status() receives a definitive "no", use xprt_conditional_disconnect() to cancel the previous connection attempt. This will set XPRT_CLOSE_WAIT so that xprt->ops->close() calls xs_close() which resets the reestablish_timeout. To ensure xprt_conditional_disconnect() does the right thing, we ensure that rq_connect_cookie is set before a connection attempt, and allow xprt_conditional_disconnect() to complete even when the transport is not fully connected.

2016-09-19SUNRPC: Separate buffer pointers for RPC Call and Reply messagesChuck Lever1-1/+1
For xprtrdma, the RPC Call and Reply buffers are involved in real I/O operations. To start with, the DMA direction of the I/O for a Call is opposite that of a Reply. In the current arrangement, the Reply buffer address is on a four-byte alignment just past the call buffer. Would be friendlier on some platforms if that was at a DMA cache alignment instead. Because the current arrangement allocates a single memory region which contains both buffers, the RPC Reply buffer often contains a page boundary in it when the Call buffer is large enough (which is frequent). It would be a little nicer for setting up DMA operations (and possible registration of the Reply buffer) if the two buffers were separated, well-aligned, and contained as few page boundaries as possible. Now, I could just pad out the single memory region used for the pair of buffers. But frequently that would mean a lot of unused space to ensure the Reply buffer did not have a page boundary. Add a separate pointer to rpc_rqst that points right to the RPC Reply buffer. This makes no difference to xprtsock, but it will help xprtrdma in subsequent patches.

2016-09-19SUNRPC: Generalize the RPC buffer allocation APIChuck Lever1-4/+8
xprtrdma needs to allocate the Call and Reply buffers separately. TBH, the reliance on using a single buffer for the pair of XDR buffers is transport implementation-specific. Transports that want to allocate separate Call and Reply buffers will ignore the "size" argument anyway. Don't bother passing it. The buf_alloc method can't return two pointers. Instead, make the method's return value an error code, and set the rq_buffer pointer in the method itself. This gives call_allocate an opportunity to terminate an RPC instead of looping forever when a permanent problem occurs. If a request is just bogus, or the transport is in a state where it can't allocate resources for any request, there needs to be a way to kill the RPC right there and not loop. This immediately fixes a rare problem in the backchannel send path, which loops if the server happens to send a CB request whose call+reply size is larger than a page (which it shouldn't do yet). One more issue: looks like xprt_inject_disconnect was incorrectly placed in the failure path in call_allocate. It needs to be in the success path, as it is for other call-sites.

It has been exceptionally useful to exercise the logic that handles local immediate errors and RDMA connection loss. To enable developers to test this regularly and repeatably, add logic to simulate connection loss every so often. Fault injection is disabled by default. It is enabled with $ sudo echo xxx > /sys/kernel/debug/sunrpc/inject_fault/disconnect where "xxx" is a large positive number of transport method calls before a disconnect. A value of several thousand is usually a good number that allows reasonable forward progress while still causing a lot of connection drops. These hooks are disabled when SUNRPC_DEBUG is turned off.

2015-06-11sunrpc: keep a count of swapfiles associated with the rpc_clntJeff Layton1-9/+58
Jerome reported seeing a warning pop when working with a swapfile on NFS. The nfs_swap_activate can end up calling sk_set_memalloc while holding the rcu_read_lock and that function can sleep. To fix that, we need to take a reference to the xprt while holding the rcu_read_lock, set the socket up for swapping and then drop that reference. But, xprt_put is not exported and having NFS deal with the underlying xprt is a bit of layering violation anyway. Fix this by adding a set of activate/deactivate functions that take a rpc_clnt pointer instead of an rpc_xprt, and have nfs_swap_activate and nfs_swap_deactivate call those. Also, add a per-rpc_clnt atomic counter to keep track of the number of active swapfiles associated with it. When the counter does a 0->1 transition, we enable swapping on the xprt, when we do a 1->0 transition we disable swapping on it. This also allows us to be a bit more selective with the RPC_TASK_SWAPPER flag. If non-swapper and swapper clnts are sharing a xprt, then we only need to flag the tasks from the swapper clnt with that flag.

2015-03-31sunrpc: make debugfs file creation failure non-fatalJeff Layton1-3/+1
We currently have a problem that SELinux policy is being enforced when creating debugfs files. If a debugfs file is created as a side effect of doing some syscall, then that creation can fail if the SELinux policy for that process prevents it. This seems wrong. We don't do that for files under /proc, for instance, so Bruce has proposed a patch to fix that. While discussing that patch however, Greg K.H. stated: "No kernel code should care / fail if a debugfs function fails, so please fix up the sunrpc code first." This patch converts all of the sunrpc debugfs setup code to be void return functins, and the callers to not look for errors from those functions. This should allow rpc_clnt and rpc_xprt creation to work, even if the kernel fails to create debugfs files for some reason. Symptoms were failing krb5 mounts on systems using gss-proxy and selinux.

2014-09-25rpc: Add -EPERM processing for xs_udp_send_request()Jason Baron1-0/+2
If an iptables drop rule is added for an nfs server, the client can end up in a softlockup. Because of the way that xs_sendpages() is structured, the -EPERM is ignored since the prior bits of the packet may have been successfully queued and thus xs_sendpages() returns a non-zero value. Then, xs_udp_send_request() thinks that because some bits were queued it should return -EAGAIN. We then try the request again and again, resulting in cpu spinning. Reproducer: 1) open a file on the nfs server '/nfs/foo' (mounted using udp) 2) iptables -A OUTPUT -d <nfs server ip> -j DROP 3) write to /nfs/foo 4) close /nfs/foo 5) iptables -D OUTPUT -d <nfs server ip> -j DROP The softlockup occurs in step 4 above. The previous patch, allows xs_sendpages() to return both a sent count and any error values that may have occurred. Thus, if we get an -EPERM, return that to the higher level code. With this patch in place we can successfully abort the above sequence and avoid the softlockup. I also tried the above test case on an nfs mount on tcp and although the system does not softlockup, I still ended up with the 'hung_task' firing after 120 seconds, due to the i/o being stuck. The tcp case appears a bit harder to fix, since -EPERM appears to get ignored much lower down in the stack and does not propogate up to xs_sendpages(). This case is not quite as insidious as the softlockup and it is not addressed here.
