      SMB3: Add mount parameter to allow user to override max credits · 141891f4
      Steve French authored
      Add mount option "max_credits" to allow setting maximum SMB3
      credits to any value from 10 to 64000 (default is 32000).
      This can be useful to workaround servers with problems allocating
      credits, or to throttle the client to use smaller amount of
      simultaneous i/o or to workaround server performance issues.
      
      Also adds a cap, so that even if the server granted us more than
      65000 credits due to a server bug, we would not use that many.

      fs/cifs: reopen persistent handles on reconnect · 52ace1ef
      Steve French authored
      Continuous Availability features like persistent handles
      require that clients reconnect their open files, not
      just the sessions, soon after the network connection comes
      back up, otherwise the server will throw away the state
      (byte range locks, leases, deny modes) on those handles
      after a timeout.
      
      Add code to reconnect handles when use_persistent set
      (e.g. Continuous Availability shares) after tree reconnect.

      Clarify locking of cifs file and tcon structures and make more granular · 3afca265
      Steve French authored
      Remove the global file_list_lock to simplify cifs/smb3 locking and
      have spinlocks that more closely match the information they are
      protecting.
      
      Add new tcon->open_file_lock and file->file_info_lock spinlocks.
      Locks continue to follow a heirachy,
      	cifs_socket --> cifs_ses --> cifs_tcon --> cifs_file
      where global tcp_ses_lock still protects socket and cifs_ses, while the
      the newer locks protect the lower level structure's information
      (tcon and cifs_file respectively).

      fs/cifs: keep guid when assigning fid to fileinfo · 94f87371
      Aurelien Aptel authored
      When we open a durable handle we give a Globally Unique
      Identifier (GUID) to the server which we must keep for later reference
      e.g. when reopening persistent handles on reconnection.
      
      Without this the GUID generated for a new persistent handle was lost and
      16 zero bytes were used instead on re-opening.

      cifs: Limit the overall credit acquired · 7d414f39
      Ross Lagerwall authored
      The kernel client requests 2 credits for many operations even though
      they only use 1 credit (presumably to build up a buffer of credit).
      Some servers seem to give the client as much credit as is requested.  In
      this case, the amount of credit the client has continues increasing to
      the point where (server->credits * MAX_BUFFER_SIZE) overflows in
      smb2_wait_mtu_credits().
      
      Fix this by throttling the credit requests if an set limit is reached.
      For async requests where the credit charge may be > 1, request as much
      credit as what is charged.
      The limit is chosen somewhat arbitrarily. The Windows client
      defaults to 128 credits, the Windows server allows clients up to
      512 credits (or 8192 for Windows 2016), and the NetApp server
      (and at least one other) does not limit clients at all.
      Choose a high enough value such that the client shouldn't limit
      performance.
      
      This behavior was seen with a NetApp filer (NetApp Release 9.0RC2).

      Display number of credits available · 9742805d
      Steve French authored
      In debugging smb3, it is useful to display the number
      of credits available, so we can see when the server has not granted
      sufficient operations for the client to make progress, or alternatively
      the client has requested too many credits (as we saw in a recent bug)
      so we can compare with the number of credits the server thinks
      we have.
      
      Add a /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData line to display the client view
      on how many credits are available.

      mm: split gfp_mask and mapping flags into separate fields · 9c5d760b
      Michal Hocko authored
      mapping->flags currently encodes two different things into a single flag.
      It contains sticky gfp_mask for page cache allocations and AS_ codes used
      to report errors/enospace and other states which are mapping specific.
      Condensing the two semantically unrelated things saves few bytes but it
      also complicates other things.  For one thing the gfp flags space is
      reduced and in fact we are already running out of available bits.  It can
      be assumed that more gfp flags will be necessary later on.
      
      To not introduce the address_space grow (at least on x86_64) we can stick
      it right after private_lock because we have a hole there.

      kthread: better support freezable kthread workers · dbf52682
      Petr Mladek authored
      This patch allows to make kthread worker freezable via a new @flags
      parameter. It will allow to avoid an init work in some kthreads.
      
      It currently does not affect the function of kthread_worker_fn()
      but it might help to do some optimization or fixes eventually.
      
      I currently do not know about any other use for the @flags
      parameter but I believe that we will want more flags
      in the future.
      
      Finally, I hope that it will not cause confusion with @flags member
      in struct kthread. Well, I guess that we will want to rework the
      basic kthreads implementation once all kthreads are converted into
      kthread workers or workqueues. It is possible that we will merge
      the two structures.

      kthread: allow to modify delayed kthread work · 9a6b06c8
      Petr Mladek authored
      There are situations when we need to modify the delay of a delayed kthread
      work. For example, when the work depends on an event and the initial delay
      means a timeout. Then we want to queue the work immediately when the event
      happens.
      
      This patch implements kthread_mod_delayed_work() as inspired workqueues.
      It cancels the timer, removes the work from any worker list and queues it
      again with the given timeout.
      
      A very special case is when the work is being canceled at the same time.
      It might happen because of the regular kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()
      or by another kthread_mod_delayed_work(). In this case, we do nothing and
      let the other operation win. This should not normally happen as the caller
      is supposed to synchronize these operations a reasonable way.

      kthread: allow to cancel kthread work · 37be45d4
      Petr Mladek authored
      We are going to use kthread workers more widely and sometimes we will need
      to make sure that the work is neither pending nor running.
      
      This patch implements cancel_*_sync() operations as inspired by
      workqueues.  Well, we are synchronized against the other operations via
      the worker lock, we use del_timer_sync() and a counter to count parallel
      cancel operations.  Therefore the implementation might be easier.
      
      First, we check if a worker is assigned.  If not, the work has newer been
      queued after it was initialized.
      
      Second, we take the worker lock.  It must be the right one.  The work must
      not be assigned to another worker unless it is initialized in between.
      
      Third, we try to cancel the timer when it exists.  The timer is deleted
      synchronously to make sure that the timer call back is not running.  We
      need to temporary release the worker->lock to avoid a possible deadlock
      with the callback.  In the meantime, we set work->canceling counter to
      avoid any queuing.
      
      Fourth, we try to remove the work from a worker list. It might be
      the list of either normal or delayed works.
      
      Fifth, if the work is running, we call kthread_flush_work().  It might
      take an arbitrary time.  We need to release the worker-lock again.  In the
      meantime, we again block any queuing by the canceling counter.
      
      As already mentioned, the check for a pending kthread work is done under a
      lock.  In compare with workqueues, we do not need to fight for a single
      PENDING bit to block other operations.  Therefore we do not suffer from
      the thundering storm problem and all parallel canceling jobs might use
      kthread_flush_work().  Any queuing is blocked until the counter gets zero.

      kthread: initial support for delayed kthread work · 22597dc3
      Petr Mladek authored
      We are going to use kthread_worker more widely and delayed works
      will be pretty useful.
      
      The implementation is inspired by workqueues.  It uses a timer to queue
      the work after the requested delay.  If the delay is zero, the work is
      queued immediately.
      
      In compare with workqueues, each work is associated with a single worker
      (kthread).  Therefore the implementation could be much easier.  In
      particular, we use the worker->lock to synchronize all the operations with
      the work.  We do not need any atomic operation with a flags variable.
      
      In fact, we do not need any state variable at all.  Instead, we add a list
      of delayed works into the worker.  Then the pending work is listed either
      in the list of queued or delayed works.  And the existing check of pending
      works is the same even for the delayed ones.
      
      A work must not be assigned to another worker unless reinitialized.
      Therefore the timer handler might expect that dwork->work->worker is valid
      and it could simply take the lock.  We just add some sanity checks to help
      with debugging a potential misuse.

      kthread: detect when a kthread work is used by more workers · 8197b3d4
      Petr Mladek authored
      Nothing currently prevents a work from queuing for a kthread worker when
      it is already running on another one.  This means that the work might run
      in parallel on more than one worker.  Also some operations are not
      reliable, e.g.  flush.
      
      This problem will be even more visible after we add kthread_cancel_work()
      function.  It will only have "work" as the parameter and will use
      worker->lock to synchronize with others.
      
      Well, normally this is not a problem because the API users are sane.
      But bugs might happen and users also might be crazy.
      
      This patch adds a warning when we try to insert the work for another
      worker.  It does not fully prevent the misuse because it would make the
      code much more complicated without a big benefit.
      
      It adds the same warning also into kthread_flush_work() instead of the
      repeated attempts to get the right lock.
      
      A side effect is that one needs to explicitly reinitialize the work if it
      must be queued into another worker.  This is needed, for example, when the
      worker is stopped and started again.  It is a bit inconvenient.  But it
      looks like a good compromise between the stability and complexity.
      
      I have double checked all existing users of the kthread worker API and
      they all seems to initialize the work after the worker gets started.
      
      Just for completeness, the patch adds a check that the work is not already
      in a queue.
      
      The patch also puts all the checks into a separate function.  It will be
      reused when implementing delayed works.

      kthread: add kthread_create_worker*() · fbae2d44
      Petr Mladek authored
      Kthread workers are currently created using the classic kthread API,
      namely kthread_run().  kthread_worker_fn() is passed as the @threadfn
      parameter.
      
      This patch defines kthread_create_worker() and
      kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() functions that hide implementation details.
      
      They enforce using kthread_worker_fn() for the main thread.  But I doubt
      that there are any plans to create any alternative.  In fact, I think that
      we do not want any alternative main thread because it would be hard to
      support consistency with the rest of the kthread worker API.
      
      The naming and function of kthread_create_worker() is inspired by the
      workqueues API like the rest of the kthread worker API.
      
      The kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() variant is motivated by the original
      kthread_create_on_cpu().  Note that we need to bind per-CPU kthread
      workers already when they are created.  It makes the life easier.
      kthread_bind() could not be used later for an already running worker.
      
      This patch does _not_ convert existing kthread workers.  The kthread
      worker API need more improvements first, e.g.  a function to destroy the
      worker.
      
      IMPORTANT:
      
      kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() allows to use any format of the worker
      name, in compare with kthread_create_on_cpu().  The good thing is that it
      is more generic.  The bad thing is that most users will need to pass the
      cpu number in two parameters, e.g.  kthread_create_worker_on_cpu(cpu,
      "helper/%d", cpu).
      
      To be honest, the main motivation was to avoid the need for an empty
      va_list.  The only legal way was to create a helper function that would be
      called with an empty list.  Other attempts caused compilation warnings or
      even errors on different architectures.
      
      There were also other alternatives, for example, using #define or
      splitting __kthread_create_worker().  The used solution looked like the
      least ugly.

      kthread/smpboot: do not park in kthread_create_on_cpu() · a65d4096
      Petr Mladek authored
      kthread_create_on_cpu() was added by the commit 2a1d4460
      ("kthread: Implement park/unpark facility").  It is currently used only
      when enabling new CPU.  For this purpose, the newly created kthread has to
      be parked.
      
      The CPU binding is a bit tricky.  The kthread is parked when the CPU has
      not been allowed yet.  And the CPU is bound when the kthread is unparked.
      
      The function would be useful for more per-CPU kthreads, e.g.
      bnx2fc_thread, fcoethread.  For this purpose, the newly created kthread
      should stay in the uninterruptible state.
      
      This patch moves the parking into smpboot.  It binds the thread already
      when created.  Then the function might be used universally.  Also the
      behavior is consistent with kthread_create() and kthread_create_on_node().

      kthread: kthread worker API cleanup · 3989144f
      Petr Mladek authored
      A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
      of the subsystem.
      
      The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues.  Each
      worker has a dedicated kthread.  It runs a generic function that process
      queued works.  It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.
      
      This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
      the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
      kthread_:
      
      __init_kthread_worker()		-> __kthread_init_worker()
      init_kthread_worker()		-> kthread_init_worker()
      init_kthread_work()		-> kthread_init_work()
      insert_kthread_work()		-> kthread_insert_work()
      queue_kthread_work()		-> kthread_queue_work()
      flush_kthread_work()		-> kthread_flush_work()
      flush_kthread_worker()		-> kthread_flush_worker()
      
      Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
      as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
      precedence over the subsystem names.
      
      Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
      naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
      reasons for this solution:
      
        + "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
          aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
          stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".
      
        + INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros
      
        + init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
          functions. It looks much better if all the functions
          use the same scheme.
      
        + There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
          be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
          to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
          functions use the same naming scheme.
      
        + there are several precedents for such init() function
          names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
          jump_label_init_type(),  regmap_init_mmio_clk(),
      
        + It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.
