      NFS: nfs_lookup - don't hash dentry when optimising away the lookup · fd684071
      Trond Myklebust 提交于
      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.
      Fix this by only actually hashing the dentry once the create operation has
      been successfully completed.

      NFS: Fix double d_drop in nfs_instantiate() error path · 4f390c15
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      If the LOOKUP or GETATTR in nfs_instantiate fail, nfs_instantiate will do a
      d_drop before returning.  But some callers already do a d_drop in the case
      of an error return.  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.

      NFS: remove a no-longer-needed error check in nfs_symlink() · d3db90e2
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      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.

      NFS: Share NFS superblocks per-protocol per-server per-FSID · 54ceac45
      David Howells 提交于
      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).

      NFS: Add an ACCESS cache memory shrinker · 979df72e

      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

      cache entry until it is done (or until the entire cache is empty).

      [PATCH] NFS: Introduce the use of inode->i_lock to protect fields in nfsi · dc59250c
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      Down the road we want to eliminate the use of the global kernel lock entirely
      from the NFS client.  To do this, we need to protect the fields in the
      nfs_inode structure adequately.  Start by serializing updates to the
      "cache_validity" field.
      
      Note this change addresses an SMP hang found by njw@osdl.org, where processes
      deadlock because nfs_end_data_update and nfs_revalidate_mapping update the
      "cache_validity" field without proper serialization.

       Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.  Run Nick Wilson's breaknfs program on
       large SMP clients.

      [PATCH] NFS: use atomic bitops to manipulate flags in nfsi->flags · 412d582e
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      Introduce atomic bitops to manipulate the bits in the nfs_inode structure's
      "flags" field.
      
      Using bitops means we can use a generic wait_on_bit call instead of an ad hoc
      locking scheme in fs/nfs/inode.c, so we can remove the "nfs_i_wait" field from
      nfs_inode at the same time.
      
      The other new flags field will continue to use bitmask and logic AND and OR.
      This permits several flags to be set at the same time efficiently.  The
      following patch adds a spin lock to protect these flags, and this spin lock
      will later cover other fields in the nfs_inode structure, amortizing the cost
      of using this type of serialization.
