2010-10-26NTLM auth and sign - Allocate session key/client response dynamicallyShirish Pargaonkar1-3/+3
Start calculating auth response within a session. Move/Add pertinet data structures like session key, server challenge and ntlmv2_hash in a session structure. We should do the calculations within a session before copying session key and response over to server data structures because a session setup can fail. Only after a very first smb session succeeds, it copy/make its session key, session key of smb connection. This key stays with the smb connection throughout its life. sequence_number within server is set to 0x2. The authentication Message Authentication Key (mak) which consists of session key followed by client response within structure session_key is now dynamic. Every authentication type allocates the key + response sized memory within its session structure and later either assigns or frees it once the client response is sent and if session's session key becomes connetion's session key. ntlm/ntlmi authentication functions are rearranged. A function named setup_ntlm_resp(), similar to setup_ntlmv2_resp(), replaces function cifs_calculate_session_key(). size of CIFS_SESS_KEY_SIZE is changed to 16, to reflect the byte size of the key it holds.

Change name of variable mac_key to session key. The reason mac_key was changed to session key is, this structure does not hold message authentication code, it holds the session key (for ntlmv2, ntlmv1 etc.). mac is generated as a signature in cifs_calc* functions.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.hTejun Heo1-0/+1
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-09-24cifs: convert oplock breaks to use slow_work facility (try #4)Jeff Layton1-50/+0
This is the fourth respin of the patch to convert oplock breaks to use the slow_work facility. A customer of ours was testing a backport of one of the earlier patchsets, and hit a "Busy inodes after umount..." problem. An oplock break job had raced with a umount, and the superblock got torn down and its memory reused. When the oplock break job tried to dereference the inode->i_sb, the kernel oopsed. This patchset has the oplock break job hold an inode and vfsmount reference until the oplock break completes. With this, there should be no need to take a tcon reference (the vfsmount implicitly holds one already). Currently, when an oplock break comes in there's a chance that the oplock break job won't occur if the allocation of the oplock_q_entry fails. There are also some rather nasty races in the allocation and handling these structs. Rather than allocating oplock queue entries when an oplock break comes in, add a few extra fields to the cifsFileInfo struct. Get rid of the dedicated cifs_oplock_thread as well and queue the oplock break job to the slow_work thread pool. This approach also has the advantage that the oplock break jobs can potentially run in parallel rather than be serialized like they are today.

cifs: turn smb_send into a wrapper around smb_sendv Rename smb_send2 to smb_sendv to make it consistent with kernel naming conventions for functions that take a vector. There's no need to have 2 functions to handle sending SMB calls. Turn smb_send into a wrapper around smb_sendv. This also allows us to properly mark the socket as needing to be reconnected when there's a partial send from smb_send. Also, in practice we always use the address and noblocksnd flag that's attached to the TCP_Server_Info. There's no need to pass them in as separate args to smb_sendv.

2008-12-26cifs: fix wait_for_response to time out sleeping processes correctlyJeff Layton1-5/+2
cifs: fix wait_for_response to time out sleeping processes correctly The current scheme that CIFS uses to sleep and wait for a response is not quite what we want. After sending a request, wait_for_response puts the task to sleep with wait_event(). One of the conditions for wait_event is a timeout (using time_after()). The problem with this is that there is no guarantee that the process will ever be woken back up. If the server stops sending data, then cifs_demultiplex_thread will leave its response queue sleeping. I think the only thing that saves us here is the fact that cifs_dnotify_thread periodically (every 15s) wakes up sleeping processes on all response_q's that have calls in flight. This makes for unnecessary wakeups of some processes. It also means large variability in the timeouts since they're all woken up at once. Instead of this, put the tasks to sleep with wait_event_timeout. This makes them wake up on their own if they time out. With this change, cifs_dnotify_thread should no longer be needed. I've been testing this in conjunction with some other patches that I'm working on. It doesn't seem to affect performance at all with with heavy I/O. Identical iozone -ac runs complete in almost exactly the same time (<1% difference in times). Thanks to Wasrshi Nimara for initially pointing this out. Wasrshi, it would be nice to know whether this patch also helps your testcase.

2008-10-29[CIFS] Reduce number of socket retries in large write pathSteve French1-10/+31
CIFS in some heavy stress conditions cifs could get EAGAIN repeatedly in smb_send2 which led to repeated retries and eventually failure of large writes which could lead to data corruption. There are three changes that were suggested by various network developers: 1) convert cifs from non-blocking to blocking tcp sendmsg (we left in the retry on failure) 2) change cifs to not set sendbuf and rcvbuf size for the socket (let tcp autotune the buffer sizes since that works much better in the TCP stack now) 3) if we have a partial frame sent in smb_send2, mark the tcp session as invalid (close the socket and reconnect) so we do not corrupt the remaining part of the SMB with the beginning of the next SMB. This does not appear to hurt performance measurably and has been run in various scenarios, but it definately removes a corruption that we were seeing in some high stress test cases.
