Certain client rpc's which contain both lengthy page-contained
metadata and a non-empty xdr_tail buffer require careful handling
to avoid overlapped memory copying. Rearranging of existing rpcrdma
marshaling code avoids it; this fixes an NFSv4 symlink creation error
detected with connectathon basic/test8 to multiple servers.

The easiest fix is simply to get rid of the special casing in NFS, and

The following patch is a combination of a patch by myself and Peter
Staubach.

Trond: If we allow other processes to dirty pages while a process is doing
a consistency sync to disk, we can end up never making progress.

Peter: Attached is a patch which addresses a continuing problem with
the NFS client generating out of order WRITE requests.  While
this is compliant with all of the current protocol
specifications, there are servers in the market which can not
handle out of order WRITE requests very well.  Also, this may
lead to sub-optimal block allocations in the underlying file
system on the server.  This may cause the read throughputs to
be reduced when reading the file from the server.

Peter: There has been a lot of work recently done to address out of
order issues on a systemic level.  However, the NFS client is
still susceptible to the problem.  Out of order WRITE
requests can occur when pdflush is in the middle of writing
out pages while the process dirtying the pages calls
generic_file_buffered_write which calls
generic_perform_write which calls
balance_dirty_pages_rate_limited which ends up calling
writeback_inodes which ends up calling back into the NFS
client to writes out dirty pages for the same file that
pdflush happens to be working with.

Certain asynchronous operations such as write() do not expect
(or care) that other metadata such as the file owner, mode, acls, ...
change. All they want to do is update and/or check the change attribute,
ctime, and mtime.
By skipping the file owner and group update, we also avoid having to do a
potential idmapper upcall for these asynchronous RPC calls.

attributes you are interested in retrieving, thus permitting you to

If cached directory contents becomes incorrect, there is no way to
flush the contents.  This contrasts with files where file locking is
the recommended way to ensure cache consistency between multiple
applications (a read-lock always flushes the cache).

Also while changes to files often change the size of the file (thus
triggering a cache flush), changes to directories often do not change
the apparent size (as the size is often rounded to a block size).

So it is particularly important with directories to avoid the
possibility of an incorrect cache wherever possible.

When the link count on a directory changes it implies a change in the
number of child directories, and so a change in the contents of this
directory.  So use that as a trigger to flush cached contents.

When the ctime changes but the mtime does not, there are two possible
reasons.
 1/ The owner/mode information has been changed.
 2/ utimes has been used to set the mtime backwards.

In the first case, a data-cache flush is not required.
In the second case it is.

So on the basis that correctness trumps performance, flush the
directory contents cache in this case also.

To clear out old state, the UDP connect workers unconditionally invoke
xs_close() before proceeding with a new connect.  Nowadays this causes
a spurious wake-up of the task waiting for the connect to complete.

This is a little racey, but usually harmless.  The waiting task
immediately retries the connect via a call_bind/call_connect sequence,
which usually finds the transport already in the connected state
because the connect worker has finished in the background.

To avoid a spurious wake-up, factor the xs_close() logic that resets
the underlying socket into a helper, and have the UDP connect workers
call that helper instead of xs_close().

sockaddr structures can't be reliably compared using memcmp() because
there are padding bytes in the structure which can't be guaranteed to
be the same even when the sockaddr structures refer to the same
socket. Instead compare all the relevant fields. In the case of IPv6
sin6_flowinfo is not compared because it only affects QoS and
sin6_scope_id is only compared if the address is "link local" because
"link local" addresses need only be unique to a specific link.

Hi Trond,

I have been looking at a bugreport where trying to open applications on KDE
on a NFS mounted home fails temporarily. There have been multiple reports on
different kernel versions pointing to this common issue:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12557
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269954
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508866.html

This issue can be reproducible consistently by doing this on a NFS mounted
home (KDE):
1. Open 2 xterm sessions
2. From one of the xterm session, do "ssh -X <remote host>"
3. "stat ~/.Xauthority" on the remote SSH session
4. Close the two xterm sessions
5. On the server do a "stat ~/.Xauthority"
6. Now on the client, try to open xterm
This will fail.

Even if the filehandle had become stale, the NFS client should invalidate
the cache/inode and should repeat LOOKUP. Looking at the packet capture when
the failure occurs shows that there were two subsequent ACCESS() calls with
the same filehandle and both fails with -ESTALE error.

I have tested the fix below. Now the client issue a LOOKUP after the
ACCESS() call fails with -ESTALE. If all this makes sense to you, can you
consider this for inclusion?

Thanks,


If the server returns an -ESTALE error due to stale filehandle in response to
an ACCESS() call, we need to invalidate the cache and inode so that LOOKUP()
can be retried. Without this change, the nfs client retries ACCESS() with the
same filehandle, fails again and could lead to temporary failure of
applications running on nfs mounted home.

The NFS mount command may pass an AF_INET server address to lockd.  If
lockd happens to be using a PF_INET6 listener, the nlm_cmp_addr() in
nlmclnt_grant() will fail to match requests from that host because they
will all have a mapped IPv4 AF_INET6 address.

Adopt the same solution used in nfs_sockaddr_match_ipaddr() for NFSv4

before doing the comparison.

We should probably not be testing any flags after we've cleared the
RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag, since rpc_make_runnable() is then free to assign the
rpc_task to another workqueue, which may then destroy it.

We can fix any races with rpc_make_runnable() by ensuring that we only
clear the RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag while holding the rpc_wait_queue->lock that
the task is supposed to be sleeping on (and then checking whether or not
the task really is sleeping).

Prevent the kernel from being crashed by a divide-by-zero operation when
supplied an incorrectly filled 'struct fb_var_screeninfo' from userland.

Previously i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params) was using the global
'yres' symbol previously defined at i810_main.c:145 as a module parameter
value holder (i810_main.c:2174).  If i810fb is compiled-in or if this
param doesn't get a default value, this direct usage leads to a
divide-by-zero at i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params).  The patch simply
replace the 'yres' global, perhaps undefined symbol usage by a given
parameter structure lookup.

This problem occurs with directfb, mplayer -vo fbdev, SDL library.
It was also reported ( but non solved ) at:

Fix a problem in the IDR system, where an idr_remove_all() hands a data
element to call_rcu() (via free_layer()) before making that data element
inaccessible to new readers.  This is very bad, and results in readers
still having a reference to this data element at the end of the grace
period.

Tests on large machines that concurrently map and unmap user-space memory
within the same multithreaded process result in crashes within about five
minutes.  Applying this patch increases the kernel's longevity to the
three-to-eight-hour range.

There appear to be other similar problems in idr_get_empty_slot() and
sub_remove(), but I fixed the easy one in idr_remove_all() first.  It is
therefore no surprise that failures still occur.
