You can use nfsd/portlist to give nfsd additional sockets to listen on.
In theory you can also remove listening sockets this way.  But nobody's
ever done that as far as I can tell.

Also this was partially broken in 2.6.25, by
a217813f "knfsd: Support adding
transports by writing portlist file".

(Note that we decide whether to take the "delfd" case by checking for a
digit--but what's actually expected in that case is something made by
svc_one_sock_name(), which won't begin with a digit.)

So, let's just rip out this stuff.

Nothing special here - just do exactly the same operations, but only for

BTW, BUG_ON() checks for empty service transports lists were returned into

This patch moves the transport sockaddr to the svc_xprt
structure.  Convenience functions are added to set and
get the local and remote addresses of a transport from
the transport provider as well as determine the length
of a sockaddr.

A transport is responsible for setting the xpt_local
and xpt_remote addresses in the svc_xprt structure as
part of transport creation and xpo_accept processing. This
cannot be done in a generic way and in fact varies
between TCP, UDP and RDMA. A set of xpo_ functions
(e.g. getlocalname, getremotename) could have been
added but this would have resulted in additional
caching and copying of the addresses around.  Note that
the xpt_local address should also be set on listening
endpoints; for TCP/RDMA this is done as part of
endpoint creation.

For connected transports like TCP and RDMA, the addresses
never change and can be set once and copied into the
rqstp structure for each request. For UDP, however, the
local and remote addresses may change for each request. In
this case, the address information is obtained from the
UDP recvmsg info and copied into the rqstp structure from
there.

A svc_xprt_local_port function was also added that returns
the local port given a transport. This is used by
svc_create_xprt when returning the port associated with
a newly created transport, and later when creating a
generic find transport service to check if a service is
already listening on a given port.

Previously, the accept logic looked into the socket state to determine
whether to call accept or recv when data-ready was indicated on an endpoint.
Since some transports don't use sockets, this logic now uses a flag
bit (SK_LISTENER) to identify listening endpoints. A transport function
(xpo_accept) allows each transport to define its own accept processing.
A transport's initialization logic is reponsible for setting the
SK_LISTENER bit. I didn't see any way to do this in transport independent
logic since the passive side of a UDP connection doesn't listen and
always recv's.

In the svc_recv function, if the SK_LISTENER bit is set, the transport
xpo_accept function is called to handle accept processing.

Note that all functions are defined even if they don't make sense
for a given transport. For example, accept doesn't mean anything for
UDP. The function is defined anyway and bug checks if called. The
UDP transport should never set the SK_LISTENER bit.

If you lose this race, it can iput a socket inode twice and you get a BUG
in fs/inode.c

When I added the option for user-space to close a socket, I added some
cruft to svc_delete_socket so that I could call that function when closing
a socket per user-space request.

This was the wrong thing to do.  I should have just set SK_CLOSE and let
normal mechanisms do the work.

Not only wrong, but buggy.  The locking is all wrong and it openned up a
race where-by a socket could be closed twice.

So this patch:
  Introduces svc_close_socket which sets SK_CLOSE then either leave
  the close up to a thread, or calls svc_delete_socket if it can
  get SK_BUSY.

  Adds a bias to sk_busy which is removed when SK_DEAD is set,
  This avoid races around shutting down the socket.

  Changes several 'spin_lock' to 'spin_lock_bh' where the _bh
  was missing.

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.

Following are 11 patches from Greg Banks which combine to make knfsd more
Numa-aware.  They reduce hitting on 'global' data structures, and create some
data-structures that can be node-local.

knfsd threads are bound to a particular node, and the thread to handle a new
request is chosen from the threads that are attach to the node that received
the interrupt.

The distribution of threads across nodes can be controlled by a new file in
the 'nfsd' filesystem, though the default approach of an even spread is
probably fine for most sites.

Some (old) numbers that show the efficacy of these patches: N == number of
NICs == number of CPUs == nmber of clients.  Number of NUMA nodes == N/2

N	Throughput, MiB/s	CPU usage, % (max=N*100)
	Before	After		Before	After
	---	------	----		-----	-----
	4	312	435		350	228
	6	500	656		501	418
	8	562	804		690	589

This patch:

Move the aging of RPC/TCP connection sockets from the main svc_recv() loop to
a timer which uses a mark-and-sweep algorithm every 6 minutes.  This reduces
the amount of work that needs to be done in the main RPC loop and the length
of time we need to hold the (effectively global) svc_serv->sv_lock.
