On a system with nfs mounts, if a task unshares its mount namespace,
a oops can occur when the system is rebooted if the task is the last
to unreference the nfs mount. It will try to create a rpc request
using utsname() which has been invalidated by free_nsproxy().

The patch fixes the issue by using the global init_utsname() which is
always valid. the capability of identifying rpc clients per uts namespace
stills needs some extra work so this should not be a problem.

This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by the string based mounts.

nfs_mount() statically returns -EACCES for every error returned
by the remote mounted. This is incorrect because -EACCES is
an non-fatal error to the mount.nfs command. This error causes
mount.nfs to retry the mount even in the case when the exported
directory does not exist.

This patch maps the errors returned by the remote mountd into
valid errno values, exactly how it was done pre-string based
mounts. By returning the correct errno enables mount.nfs
to do the right thing.

Despite the fact that cloned rpc clients won't have the cl_autobind flag
set, they may still find themselves calling rpcb_getport_async(). For this
to happen, it suffices for a _parent_ rpc_clnt to use autobinding, in which
case any clone may find itself triggering the !xprt_bound() case in
call_bind().

The correct fix for this is to walk back up the tree of cloned rpc clients,
in order to find the parent that 'owns' the transport, either because it
has clnt->cl_autobind set, or because it originally created the
transport...

The sc_name field is currently 56 bytes long.  This is not large enough
to hold a pair of IPv6 addresses, the authentication type, the protocol
name, and a uniquifier number.  The maximum possible size of the name
string using IPv6 addresses is just under 110 bytes, so I increased the
size of the sc_name field to accomodate this maximum.

In addition, the strings in the nfs4_setclientid structure are
constructed with scnprintf(), which wants to terminate its output with
'\0'.  The sc_netid field was large enough only for a three byte netid
string and a '\0' so inet6 netids were being truncated.  Perhaps we
don't need the overhead of scnprintf() to do a simple string copy, but
I fixed this by increasing the size of the buffer by one byte.

Since all three of the string buffers in nfs4_setclientid are
constructed with scnprintf(), I increased the size of all three by one
byte to document the requirement, although I don't think either the
universal address field or the name field will be so small that these
strings get truncated in this way.

The size of the Linux client's client ID on the wire will be larger
than before.  RFC 3530 suggests the size limit for client IDs is 1024,
and we are still well below that.

Allow mount to do authenticated mounts below the root of the exported tree.
The wording in RFC 2623, sec 2.3.2. allows fsinfo with UNIX authentication
on the root of the export. Mounts are not always done on the root
of the exported tree. Especially autoumounts often mount below the root of
the exported tree.
Some server implementations (justly) require full authentication for the
so-called deep mounts. The old code used AUTH_SYS only. This caused deep
mounts to fail on systems requiring stronger authentication..
The client should try both authentication types and use the first one that
succeeds.
This method was already partially implemented. This patch completes
the implementation for NFS2 and NFS3.
This patch was developed to allow Debian systems to automount home directories
on Solaris servers with krb5 authentication.

If we're merely checking the inode attributes because we suspect that the

Signed-off-by: NTrond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

In the case where there are parallel RPC calls to the same inode, we may
receive stale metadata due to the lack of ordering, hence the sanity
checking of metadata in nfs_refresh_inode().
Currently, __nfs_revalidate_inode() is calling nfs_update_inode() directly,
without any further sanity checks, and hence may end up setting the inode
up with stale metadata.

Fix is to use nfs_refresh_inode() instead of nfs_update_inode().
Signed-off-by: NTrond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

If we believe that the attributes are old (see nfs_refresh_inode()), then
we shouldn't force an update.
Also ensure that we hold the inode->i_lock across attribute checks and the
call to nfs_refresh_inode_locked() to ensure that we don't race with other
attribute updates.
Signed-off-by: NTrond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

Currently nfs_refresh_inode() will only update the inode metadata if it
sees that the RPC call that returned the nfs_fattr was started
after the last update of the inode. This means that if we have parallel
RPC calls to the same inode (when sending WRITE calls, for instance), we
may often miss updates.

This patch attempts to recover those missed updates by also accepting
them if the ctime in the nfs_fattr is more recent than the inode's
cached ctime.
It also recovers the case where the file size has increased, but the
ctime has not been updated due to limited ctime resolution.
Signed-off-by: NTrond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

Try to avoid taking and dropping the inode->i_lock more than once. Do so by
moving the code in nfs_refresh_inode() that needs to be done under the

I think the problem comes from "markers: fix duplicate modpost entry"
(commit d35cb360)

Especially :

  -   add_marker(mod, marker, fmt);
  +   if (!mod->skip)
  +     add_marker(mod, marker, fmt);
    }
    return;
   fail:

Here is a fix that should take care if this problem.

The atmel-mci driver sometimes fails data transfers like this:

   mmcblk0: error -5 transferring data
   end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 2749769
   end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 2749777

It turns out that this might be caused by the BLKR register (which
contains the block size and the number of blocks being transfered) being
initialized too late. This patch moves the initialization of BLKR so
that it contains the correct value before the block transfer command is
sent.

This error is difficult to reproduce, but if you insert a long delay
(mdelay(10) or thereabouts) between the calls to atmci_start_command()
and atmci_submit_data(), all transfers seem to fail without this patch,
while I haven't seen any failures with this patch.
