2007-09-28NFS: Fix an Oops in encode_lookup()Trond Myklebust1-0/+2
It doesn't look as if the NFS file name limit is being initialised correctly in the struct nfs_server. Make sure that we limit whatever is being set in nfs_probe_fsinfo() and nfs_init_server(). Also ensure that readdirplus and nfs4_path_walk respect our file name limits. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-07-19SUNRPC: Clean up the sillyrename codeTrond Myklebust1-2/+2
Fix a couple of bugs: - Don't rely on the parent dentry still being valid when the call completes. Fixes a race with shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree() - Don't remove the file if the filehandle has been labelled as stale. Fix a couple of inefficiencies - Remove the global list of sillyrenamed files. Instead we can cache the sillyrename information in the dentry->d_fsdata - Move common code from unlink_setup/unlink_done into fs/nfs/unlink.c Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2007-05-21Detach sched.h from mm.hAlexey Dobriyan1-0/+1
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock() mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why. This patch a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly. e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were getting them indirectly Net result is: a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if they don't need sched.h b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files: on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files, after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

2007-04-30NFS: Fix directory caching problem - with test case and patch.Neil Brown1-0/+4
Try running this script in an NFS mounted directory (Client relatively recent - 2.6.18 has the problem as does 2.6.20). ------------------------------------------------------ #!/bin/bash # # This script will produce the following errormessage from tar: # # tar: newdir/innerdir/innerfile: file changed as we read it # create dirs rm -rf nfstest mkdir -p nfstest/dir/innerdir # create files (should not be empty) echo "Hello World!" >nfstest/dir/file echo "Hello World!" >nfstest/dir/innerdir/innerfile # problem only happens if we sleep before chmod sleep 1 # change file modes chmod -R a+r nfstest # rename dir mv nfstest/dir nfstest/newdir # tar it tar -cf nfstest/nfstest.tar -C nfstest newdir # restore old dir name mv nfstest/newdir nfstest/dir -------------------------------------------------------- What happens: The 'chmod -R' does a readdir_plus in each directory and the results get cached in the page cache. It then updates the ctime on each file by one second. When this happens, the post-op attributes are used to update the ctime stored on the client to match the value in the kernel. The 'mv' calls shrink_dcache_parent on the directory tree which flushes all the dentries (so a new lookup will be required) but doesn't flush the inodes or pagecache. The 'tar' does a readdir on each directory, but (in the case of 'innerdir' at least) satisfies it from the pagecache and uses the READDIRPLUS data to update all the inodes. In the case of 'innerdir/innerfile', the ctime is out of date. 'tar' then calls 'lstat' on innerdir/innerfile getting an old ctime. It then opens the file (triggering a GETATTR), reads the content, and then calls fstat to see if anything has changed. It finds that ctime has changed and so complains. The problem seems to be that the cache readdirplus info is kept around for too long. My patch below discards pagecache data for directories when dentry_iput is called on them. This effectively removes the symptom which convinces me that I correctly understand the problem. However I'm not convinced that is a proper solution, as there could easily be other races that trigger the same problem without being affected by this 'fix'. One possibility would be to require that readdirplus pagecache data be only used *once* to instantiate an inode. Somehow it should then be invalidated so that if the dentry subsequently disappears, it will cause a new request to the server to fill in the stat data. Another possibility is to compare the cache_change_attribute on the inode with something similar for the readdirplus info and reject the info from readdirplus if it is too old. I haven't tried to implement these and would value other opinions before I do. Thanks, NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2007-04-30NFS: Set meaningful value for fattr->time_start in readdirplus results.Neil Brown1-0/+16
Don't use uninitialsed value for fattr->time_start in readdirplus results. The 'fattr' structure filled in by nfs3_decode_direct does not get a value for ->time_start set. Thus if an entry is for an inode that we already have in cache, when nfs_readdir_lookup calls nfs_fhget, it will call nfs_refresh_inode and may update the inode with out-of-date information. Directories are read a page at a time, so each page could have a different timestamp that "should" be used to set the time_start for the fattr for info in that page. However storing the timestamp per page is awkward. (We could stick in the first 4 bytes and only read 4092 bytes, but that is a bigger code change than I am interested it). This patch ignores the readdir_plus attributes if a readdir finds the information already in cache, and otherwise sets ->time_start to the time the readdir request was sent to the server. It might be nice to store - in the directory inode - the time stamp for the earliest readdir request that is still in the page cache, so that we don't ignore attribute data that we don't have to. This patch doesn't do that. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2006-09-22NFS: nfs_lookup - don't hash dentry when optimising away the lookupTrond Myklebust1-3/+11
If the open intents tell us that a given lookup is going to result in a, exclusive create, we currently optimize away the lookup call itself. The reason is that the lookup would not be atomic with the create RPC call, so why do it in the first place? A problem occurs, however, if the VFS aborts the exclusive create operation after the lookup, but before the call to create the file/directory: in this case we will end up with a hashed negative dentry in the dcache that has never been looked up.

Make certain we do only one d_drop in all error paths. This issue was introduced because over time, the symlink proc API diverged slightly from the create/mkdir/mknod proc API. To prevent other coding mistakes of this type, change the symlink proc API to be more like create/mkdir/mknod and move the nfs_instantiate call into the symlink proc routines so it is used in exactly the same way for create, mkdir, mknod, and symlink.

2006-09-22NFS: remove a no-longer-needed error check in nfs_symlink()Chuck Lever1-6/+2
In the early days of NFS, there was no duplicate reply cache on the server. Thus retransmitted non-idempotent requests often found that the request had already completed on the server. To avoid passing an unanticipated return code to unsuspecting applications, NFS clients would often shunt error codes that implied the request had been retried but already completed. Thanks to NFS over TCP, duplicate reply caches on the server, and network performance and reliability improvements, it is safe to remove such checks. Test plan: None.

2006-09-22NFS: Share NFS superblocks per-protocol per-server per-FSIDDavid Howells1-6/+10
The attached patch makes NFS share superblocks between mounts from the same server and FSID over the same protocol. It does this by creating each superblock with a false root and returning the real root dentry in the vfsmount presented by get_sb(). The root dentry set starts off as an anonymous dentry if we don't already have the dentry for its inode, otherwise it simply returns the dentry we already have. We may thus end up with several trees of dentries in the superblock, and if at some later point one of anonymous tree roots is discovered by normal filesystem activity to be located in another tree within the superblock, the anonymous root is named and materialises attached to the second tree at the appropriate point. Why do it this way? Why not pass an extra argument to the mount() syscall to indicate the subpath and then pathwalk from the server root to the desired directory? You can't guarantee this will work for two reasons: (1) The root and intervening nodes may not be accessible to the client. With NFS2 and NFS3, for instance, mountd is called on the server to get the filehandle for the tip of a path. mountd won't give us handles for anything we don't have permission to access, and so we can't set up NFS inodes for such nodes, and so can't easily set up dentries (we'd have to have ghost inodes or something). With this patch we don't actually create dentries until we get handles from the server that we can use to set up their inodes, and we don't actually bind them into the tree until we know for sure where they go. (2) Inaccessible symbolic links. If we're asked to mount two exports from the server, eg: mount warthog:/warthog/aaa/xxx /mmm mount warthog:/warthog/bbb/yyy /nnn We may not be able to access anything nearer the root than xxx and yyy, but we may find out later that /mmm/www/yyy, say, is actually the same directory as the one mounted on /nnn. What we might then find out, for example, is that /warthog/bbb was actually a symbolic link to /warthog/aaa/xxx/www, but we can't actually determine that by talking to the server until /warthog is made available by NFS. This would lead to having constructed an errneous dentry tree which we can't easily fix. We can end up with a dentry marked as a directory when it should actually be a symlink, or we could end up with an apparently hardlinked directory. With this patch we need not make assumptions about the type of a dentry for which we can't retrieve information, nor need we assume we know its place in the grand scheme of things until we actually see that place. This patch reduces the possibility of aliasing in the inode and page caches for inodes that may be accessed by more than one NFS export. It also reduces the number of superblocks required for NFS where there are many NFS exports being used from a server (home directory server + autofs for example). This in turn makes it simpler to do local caching of network filesystems, as it can then be guaranteed that there won't be links from multiple inodes in separate superblocks to the same cache file. Obviously, cache aliasing between different levels of NFS protocol could still be a problem, but at least that gives us another key to use when indexing the cache. This patch makes the following changes: (1) The server record construction/destruction has been abstracted out into its own set of functions to make things easier to get right. These have been moved into fs/nfs/client.c. All the code in fs/nfs/client.c has to do with the management of connections to servers, and doesn't touch superblocks in any way; the remaining code in fs/nfs/super.c has to do with VFS superblock management. (2) The sequence of events undertaken by NFS mount is now reordered: (a) A volume representation (struct nfs_server) is allocated. (b) A server representation (struct nfs_client) is acquired. This may be allocated or shared, and is keyed on server address, port and NFS version. (c) If allocated, the client representation is initialised. The state member variable of nfs_client is used to prevent a race during initialisation from two mounts. (d) For NFS4 a simple pathwalk is performed, walking from FH to FH to find the root filehandle for the mount (fs/nfs/getroot.c). For NFS2/3 we are given the root FH in advance. (e) The volume FSID is probed for on the root FH. (f) The volume representation is initialised from the FSINFO record retrieved on the root FH. (g) sget() is called to acquire a superblock. This may be allocated or shared, keyed on client pointer and FSID. (h) If allocated, the superblock is initialised. (i) If the superblock is shared, then the new nfs_server record is discarded. (j) The root dentry for this mount is looked up from the root FH. (k) The root dentry for this mount is assigned to the vfsmount. (3) nfs_readdir_lookup() creates dentries for each of the entries readdir() returns; this function now attaches disconnected trees from alternate roots that happen to be discovered attached to a directory being read (in the same way nfs_lookup() is made to do for lookup ops). The new d_materialise_unique() function is now used to do this, thus permitting the whole thing to be done under one set of locks, and thus avoiding any race between mount and lookup operations on the same directory. (4) The client management code uses a new debug facility: NFSDBG_CLIENT which is set by echoing 1024 to /proc/net/sunrpc/nfs_debug. (5) Clone mounts are now called xdev mounts. (6) Use the dentry passed to the statfs() op as the handle for retrieving fs statistics rather than the root dentry of the superblock (which is now a dummy).

2006-09-22NFS: Move rpc_ops from nfs_server to nfs_clientDavid Howells1-1/+1
Move the rpc_ops from the nfs_server struct to the nfs_client struct as they're common to all server records of a particular NFS protocol version. Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-09-22NFS: Add an ACCESS cache memory shrinkerTrond Myklebust1-0/+44
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).

2006-09-22NFS: Add a new ACCESS rpc call cache to the linux nfs clientTrond Myklebust1-17/+116
The current access cache only allows one entry at a time to be cached for each inode. Add a per-inode red-black tree in order to allow more than one to be cached at a time. Should significantly cut down the time spent in path traversal for shared directories such as ${PATH}, /usr/share, etc. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-07-05NFS: Optimise away an excessive GETATTR call when a file is symlinkedTrond Myklebust1-1/+3
In the case when compiling via a symlink tree, we want to ensure that the close-to-open GETATTR call is applied only to the final file, and not to the symlink. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2006-06-09NFS: Separate metadata and page cache revalidation mechanismsTrond Myklebust1-1/+1
Separate out the function of revalidating the inode metadata, and revalidating the mapping. The former may be called by lookup(), and only really needs to check that permissions, ctime, etc haven't changed whereas the latter needs only done when we want to read data from the page cache, and may need to sync and then invalidate the mapping.

2006-03-28[PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ constArjan van de Ven1-1/+1
This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus cache clean) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-20NFS: directory trace messagesChuck Lever1-30/+66
Reuse NFSDBG_DIRCACHE and NFSDBG_LOOKUPCACHE to provide additional diagnostic messages that trace the operation of the NFS client's directory behavior. A few new messages are now generated when NFSDBG_VFS is active, as well, to trace normal VFS activity. This compromise provides better trace debugging for those who use pre-built kernels, without adding a lot of extra noise to the standard debug settings. Test-plan: Enable NFS trace debugging with flags 1, 2, or 4. You should be able to see different types of trace messages with each flag setting.

2006-03-20NFS: add I/O performance countersChuck Lever1-0/+8
Invoke the byte and event counter macros where we want to count bytes and events. Clean-up: fix a possible NULL dereference in nfs_lock, and simplify nfs_file_open. Test-plan: fsx and iozone on UP and SMP systems, with and without pre-emption. Watch for memory overwrite bugs, and performance loss (significantly more CPU required per op).
