      param: use ops in struct kernel_param, rather than get and set fns directly · 9bbb9e5a
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      This is more kernel-ish, saves some space, and also allows us to
      expand the ops without breaking all the callers who are happy for the
      new members to be NULL.
      
      The few places which defined their own param types are changed to the
      new scheme (more which crept in recently fixed in following patches).
      
      Since we're touching them anyway, we change get() and set() to take a
      const struct kernel_param (which they really are).  This causes some
      harmless warnings until we fix them (in following patches).
      
      To reduce churn, module_param_call creates the ops struct so the callers
      don't have to change (and casts the functions to reduce warnings).
      The modern version which takes an ops struct is called module_param_cb.

      SUNRPC: Allow RPCs to fail quickly if the server is unreachable · 09a21c41
      Chuck Lever 提交于
      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.

      sysctl net: Remove unused binary sysctl code · f8572d8f

      Now that sys_sysctl is a compatiblity wrapper around /proc/sys
      all sysctl strategy routines, and all ctl_name and strategy
      entries in the sysctl tables are unused, and can be
      revmoed.
      
      In addition neigh_sysctl_register has been modified to no longer
      take a strategy argument and it's callers have been modified not
      to pass one.

      NFS/RPC: fix problems with reestablish_timeout and related code. · 61d0a8e6
      Neil Brown 提交于
      
      [[resending with correct cc:  - "vfs.kernel.org" just isn't right!]]
      
      xprt->reestablish_timeout is used to cause TCP connection attempts to
      back off if the connection fails so as not to hammer the network,
      but to still allow immediate connections when there is no reason to
      believe there is a problem.
      
      It is not used for the first connection (when transport->sock is NULL)
      but only on reconnects.
      
      It is currently set:
      
       a/ to 0 when xs_tcp_state_change finds a state of TCP_FIN_WAIT1
          on the assumption that the client has closed the connection
          so the reconnect should be immediate when needed.
       b/ to at least XS_TCP_INIT_REEST_TO when xs_tcp_state_change
          detects TCP_CLOSING or TCP_CLOSE_WAIT on the assumption that the
          server closed the connection so a small delay at least is
          required.
       c/ as above when xs_tcp_state_change detects TCP_SYN_SENT, so that
          it is never 0 while a connection has been attempted, else
          the doubling will produce 0 and there will be no backoff.
       d/ to double is value (up to a limit) when delaying a connection,
          thus providing exponential backoff and
       e/ to XS_TCP_INIT_REEST_TO in xs_setup_tcp as simple initialisation.
      
      So you can see it is highly dependant on xs_tcp_state_change being
      called as expected.  However experimental evidence shows that
      xs_tcp_state_change does not see all state changes.
      ("rpcdebug -m rpc trans" can help show what actually happens).
      
      Results show:
       TCP_ESTABLISHED is reported when a connection is made.  TCP_SYN_SENT
       is never reported, so rule 'c' above is never effective.
      
       When the server closes the connection, TCP_CLOSE_WAIT and
       TCP_LAST_ACK *might* be reported, and TCP_CLOSE is always
       reported.  This rule 'b' above will sometimes be effective, but
       not reliably.
      
       When the client closes the connection, it used to result in
       TCP_FIN_WAIT1, TCP_FIN_WAIT2, TCP_CLOSE.  However since commit
       f75e6745 (SUNRPC: Fix the problem of EADDRNOTAVAIL syslog floods on
       reconnect) we don't see *any* events on client-close.  I think this
       is because xs_restore_old_callbacks is called to disconnect
       xs_tcp_state_change before the socket is closed.
       In any case, rule 'a' no longer applies.
      
      So all that is left are rule d, which successfully doubles the
      timeout which is never rest, and rule e which initialises the timeout.
      
      Even if the rules worked as expected, there would be a problem because
      a successful connection does not reset the timeout, so a sequence
      of events where the server closes the connection (e.g. during failover
      testing) will cause longer and longer timeouts with no good reason.
      
      This patch:
      
       - sets reestablish_timeout to 0 in xs_close thus effecting rule 'a'
       - sets it to 0 in xs_tcp_data_ready to ensure that a successful
         connection resets the timeout
       - sets it to at least XS_TCP_INIT_REEST_TO after it is doubled,
         thus effecting rule c
      
      I have not reimplemented rule b and the new version of rule c
      seems sufficient.
      
      I suspect other code in xs_tcp_data_ready needs to be revised as well.
      For example I don't think connect_cookie is being incremented as often
      as it should be.
