      [PATCH] knfsd: knfsd: cache ipmap per TCP socket · 7b2b1fee
      Greg Banks 提交于
      Speed up high call-rate workloads by caching the struct ip_map for the peer on
      the connected struct svc_sock instead of looking it up in the ip_map cache
      hashtable on every call.  This helps workloads using AUTH_SYS authentication
      over TCP.
      
      Testing was on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients, each with 16
      synthetic client threads simulating an rsync (i.e.  recursive directory
      listing) workload reading from an i386 RH9 install image (161480 regular files
      in 10841 directories) on the server.  That tree is small enough to fill in the
      server's RAM so no disk traffic was involved.  This setup gives a sustained
      call rate in excess of 60000 calls/sec before being CPU-bound on the server.
      
      Profiling showed strcmp(), called from ip_map_match(), was taking 4.8% of each
      CPU, and ip_map_lookup() was taking 2.9%.  This patch drops both contribution
      into the profile noise.
      
      Note that the above result overstates this value of this patch for most
      workloads.  The synthetic clients are all using separate IP addresses, so
      there are 64 entries in the ip_map cache hash.  Because the kernel measured
      contained the bug fixed in commit
      
      commit 1f1e030b
      
      and was running on 64bit little-endian machine, probably all of those 64
      entries were on a single chain, thus increasing the cost of ip_map_lookup().
      
      With a modern kernel you would need more clients to see the same amount of
      performance improvement.  This patch has helped to scale knfsd to handle a
      deployment with 2000 NFS clients.

      [PATCH] sunrpc: cache_register can use wrong module reference · f35279d3
      Bruce Allan 提交于
      When registering an RPC cache, cache_register() always sets the owner as the
      sunrpc module.  However, there are RPC caches owned by other modules.  With
      the incorrect owner setting, the real owning module can be removed potentially
      with an open reference to the cache from userspace.
      
      For example, if one were to stop the nfs server and unmount the nfsd
      filesystem, the nfsd module could be removed eventhough rpc.idmapd had
      references to the idtoname and nametoid caches (i.e.
      /proc/net/rpc/nfs4.<cachename>/channel is still open).  This resulted in a
      system panic on one of our machines when attempting to restart the nfs
      services after reloading the nfsd module.
      
      The following patch adds a 'struct module *owner' field in struct
      cache_detail.  The owner is further assigned to the struct proc_dir_entry
      in cache_register() so that the module cannot be unloaded while user-space
      daemons have an open reference on the associated file under /proc.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
