      SUNRPC: Use soft connects for autobinding over TCP · 012da158
      Chuck Lever authored 
      Autobinding is handled by the rpciod process, not in user processes
that are generating regular RPC requests.  Thus autobinding is usually
not affected by signals targetting user processes, such as KILL or
timer expiration events.

In addition, an RPC request generated by a user process that has
RPC_TASK_SOFTCONN set and needs to perform an autobind will hang if
the remote rpcbind service is not available.

For rpcbind queries on connection-oriented transports, let's use the
new soft connect semantic to return control to the user's process
quickly, if the kernel's rpcbind client can't connect to the remote
rpcbind service.

Logic is introduced in call_bind_status() to handle connection errors
that occurred during an asynchronous rpcbind query.  The logic
abandons the rpcbind query if the RPC request has SOFTCONN set, and
retries after a few seconds in the normal case.

      SUNRPC: Use a cached RPC client and transport for rpcbind upcalls · c526611d
      Chuck Lever authored 
      The kernel's rpcbind client creates and deletes an rpc_clnt and its
underlying transport socket for every upcall to the local rpcbind
daemon.

When starting a typical NFS server on IPv4 and IPv6, the NFS service
itself does three upcalls (one per version) times two upcalls (one
per transport) times two upcalls (one per address family), making 12,
plus another one for the initial call to unregister previous NFS
services.  Starting the NLM service adds an additional 13 upcalls,
for similar reasons.

(Currently the NFS service doesn't start IPv6 listeners, but it will
soon enough).

Instead, let's create an rpc_clnt for rpcbind upcalls during the
first local rpcbind query, and cache it.  This saves the overhead of
creating and destroying an rpc_clnt and a socket for every upcall.

The new logic also prevents the kernel from attempting an RPCB_SET or
RPCB_UNSET if it knows from the start that the local portmapper does
not support rpcbind protocol version 4.  This will cut down on the
number of rpcbind upcalls in legacy environments.

      SUNRPC: Simplify synopsis of rpcb_local_clnt() · 5a462115
      Chuck Lever authored 
      Clean up: At one point, rpcb_local_clnt() handled IPv6 loopback
addresses too, but it doesn't any more; only IPv4 loopback is used
now.  Get rid of the @addr and @addrlen arguments to
rpcb_local_clnt().

      SUNRPC: Allow RPCs to fail quickly if the server is unreachable · 09a21c41
      Chuck Lever authored 
      The kernel sometimes makes RPC calls to services that aren't running.
Because the kernel's RPC client always assumes the hard retry semantic
when reconnecting a connection-oriented RPC transport, the underlying
reconnect logic takes a long while to time out, even though the remote
may have responded immediately with ECONNREFUSED.

In certain cases, like upcalls to our local rpcbind daemon, or for NFS
mount requests, we'd like the kernel to fail immediately if the remote
service isn't reachable.  This allows another transport to be tried
immediately, or the pending request can be abandoned quickly.

Introduce a per-request flag which controls how call_transmit_status()
behaves when request transmission fails because the server cannot be
reached.

We don't want soft connection semantics to apply to other errors.  The
default case of the switch statement in call_transmit_status() no
longer falls through; the fall through code is copied to the default
case, and a "break;" is added.

The transport's connection re-establishment timeout is also ignored for
such requests.  We want the request to fail immediately, so the
reconnect delay is skipped.  Additionally, we don't want a connect
failure here to further increase the reconnect timeout value, since
this request will not be retried.

      SUNRPC: Check explicitly for tk_status == 0 in call_transmit_status() · 206a134b
      Chuck Lever authored 
      The success case, where task->tk_status == 0, is by far the most
frequent case in call_transmit_status().

The default: arm of the switch statement in call_transmit_status()
handles the 0 case.  default: was moved close to the top of the switch
statement in call_transmit_status() under the theory that the compiler
places object code for the earliest arms of a switch statement first,
making the CPU do less work.

The default: arm of a switch statement, however, is executed only
after all the other cases have been checked.  Even if the compiler
rearranges the object code, the default: arm is the "last resort",
meaning all of the other cases have been explicitly exhausted.  That
makes the current arrangement about as inefficient as it gets for the
common case.

To fix this, add an explicit check for zero before the switch
statement.  That forces the compiler to do the zero check first, no
matter what optimizations it might try to do to the switch statement.

      NFS: Revert default r/wsize behavior · dd47f96c
      Chuck Lever authored 
      When the "rsize=" or "wsize=" mount options are not specified,
text-based mounts have slightly different behavior than legacy binary
mounts.  Text-based mounts use the smaller of the server's maximum
and the client's maximum, but binary mounts use the smaller of the
server's _preferred_ size and the client's maximum.

This difference is actually pretty subtle.  Most servers advertise
the same value as their maximum and their preferred transfer size, so
the end result is the same in most cases.

The reason for this difference is that for text-based mounts, if
r/wsize are not specified, they are set to the largest value supported
by the client.  For legacy mounts, the values are set to zero if these
options are not specified.

nfs_server_set_fsinfo() can negotiate the transfer size defaults
correctly in any case.  There's no need to specify any particular
value as default in the text-based option parsing logic.

Note that nfs4 doesn't use nfs_server_set_fsinfo(), but the mount.nfs4
command does set rsize and wsize to 0 if the user didn't specify these
options.  So, make the same change for text-based NFSv4 mounts.

Thanks to James Pearson <james-p@moving-picture.com> for reporting and
diagnosing the problem.

      NFS: convert proto= option to use netids rather than a protoname · ee671b01
      Jeff Layton authored 
      Solaris uses netids as values for the proto= option, so that when
someone specifies "tcp6" they get traffic over TCP + IPv6. Until
recently, this has never really been an issue for Linux since it didn't
support NFS over IPv6. The netid and the protocol name were generally
always the same (modulo any strange configuration in /etc/netconfig).

The solaris manpage documents their proto= option as:

    proto= _netid_ | rdma

This patch is intended to bring Linux closer to how the Solaris proto=
option works, by declaring a static netid mapping in the kernel and
converting the proto= and mountproto= options to follow it and display
the proper values in /proc/mounts.

Much of this functionality will need to be provided by a userspace
mount.nfs patch. Chuck Lever has a patch to change mount.nfs in
the same way. In principle, we could do *all* of this in userspace but
that would mean that the options in /proc/mounts may not match the
options used by userspace.

The alternative to the static mapping here is to add a mechanism to
upcall to userspace for netid's. I'm not opposed to that option, but
it'll probably mean more overhead (and quite a bit more code). Rather
than shoot for that at first, I figured it was probably better to
start simply.

Comments welcome.
