An RPC Call message that is sent inline but that has a data payload
(ie, one or more items in rq_snd_buf's page list) must be "pulled
up:"

- call_allocate has to reserve enough RPC Call buffer space to
accommodate the data payload

- call_transmit has to memcopy the rq_snd_buf's page list and tail
into its head iovec before it is sent

As the inline threshold is increased beyond its current 1KB default,
however, this means data payloads of more than a few KB are copied
by the host CPU. For example, if the inline threshold is increased
just to 4KB, then NFS WRITE requests up to 4KB would involve a
memcpy of the NFS WRITE's payload data into the RPC Call buffer.
This is an undesirable amount of participation by the host CPU.

The inline threshold may be much larger than 4KB in the future,
after negotiation with a peer server.

Instead of copying the components of rq_snd_buf into its head iovec,
construct a gather list of these components, and send them all in
place. The same approach is already used in the Linux server's
RPC-over-RDMA reply path.

This mechanism also eliminates the need for rpcrdma_tail_pullup,
which is used to manage the XDR pad and trailing inline content when
a Read list is present.

This requires that the pages in rq_snd_buf's page list be DMA-mapped
during marshaling, and unmapped when a data-bearing RPC is
completed. This is slightly less efficient for very small I/O
payloads, but significantly more efficient as data payload size and
inline threshold increase past a kilobyte.

Currently, each regbuf is allocated and DMA mapped at the same time.
This is done during transport creation.

When a device driver is unloaded, every DMA-mapped buffer in use by
a transport has to be unmapped, and then remapped to the new
device if the driver is loaded again. Remapping will have to be done
_after_ the connect worker has set up the new device.

But there's an ordering problem:

call_allocate, which invokes xprt_rdma_allocate which calls
rpcrdma_alloc_regbuf to allocate Send buffers, happens _before_
the connect worker can run to set up the new device.

Instead, at transport creation, allocate each buffer, but leave it
unmapped. Once the RPC carries these buffers into ->send_request, by
which time a transport connection should have been established,
check to see that the RPC's buffers have been DMA mapped. If not,
map them there.

When device driver unplug support is added, it will simply unmap all
the transport's regbufs, but it doesn't have to deallocate the
underlying memory.

While trying NFSv4.0/RDMA with sec=krb5p, I noticed small NFS READ
operations failed. After the client unwrapped the NFS READ reply
message, the NFS READ XDR decoder was not able to decode the reply.
The message was "Server cheating in reply", with the reported
number of received payload bytes being zero. Applications reported
a read(2) that returned -1/EIO.

The problem is rpcrdma_inline_fixup() sets the tail.iov_len to zero
when the incoming reply fits entirely in the head iovec. The zero
tail.iov_len confused xdr_buf_trim(), which then mangled the actual
reply data instead of simply removing the trailing GSS checksum.

As near as I can tell, RPC transports are not supposed to update the
head.iov_len, page_len, or tail.iov_len fields in the receive XDR
buffer when handling an incoming RPC reply message. These fields
contain the length of each component of the XDR buffer, and hence
the maximum number of bytes of reply data that can be stored in each
XDR buffer component. I've concluded this because:

- This is how xdr_partial_copy_from_skb() appears to behave
- rpcrdma_inline_fixup() already does not alter page_len
- call_decode() compares rq_private_buf and rq_rcv_buf and WARNs
   if they are not exactly the same

Unfortunately, as soon as I tried the simple fix to just remove the
line that sets tail.iov_len to zero, I saw that the logic that
appends the implicit Write chunk pad inline depends on inline_fixup
setting tail.iov_len to zero.

To address this, re-organize the tail iovec handling logic to use
the same approach as with the head iovec: simply point tail.iov_base
to the correct bytes in the receive buffer.

While I remember all this, write down the conclusion in documenting
comments.

Currently, all three chunk list encoders each use a portion of the
one rl_segments array in rpcrdma_req. This is because the MWs for
each chunk list were preserved in rl_segments so that ro_unmap could
find and invalidate them after the RPC was complete.

However, now that MWs are placed on a per-req linked list as they
are registered, there is no longer any information in rpcrdma_mr_seg
that is shared between ro_map and ro_unmap_{sync,safe}, and thus
nothing in rl_segments needs to be preserved after
rpcrdma_marshal_req is complete.

Thus the rl_segments array can be used now just for the needs of
each rpcrdma_convert_iovs call. Once each chunk list is encoded, the
next chunk list encoder is free to re-use all of rl_segments.

This means all three chunk lists in one RPC request can now each
encode a full size data payload with no increase in the size of
rl_segments.

This is a key requirement for Kerberos support, since both the Call
and Reply for a single RPC transaction are conveyed via Long
messages (RDMA Read/Write). Both can be large.

Also fix up the places in the send_request path that do want a

this is a sign that there is a send or receive queue resource

There needs to be a safe method of releasing registered memory
resources when an RPC terminates. Safe can mean a number of things:

+ Doesn't have to sleep

+ Doesn't rely on having a QP in RTS

ro_unmap_safe will be that safe method. It can be used in cases
where synchronous memory invalidation can deadlock, or needs to have
an active QP.

The important case is fencing an RPC's memory regions after it is
signaled (^C) and before it exits. If this is not done, there is a
window where the server can write an RPC reply into memory that the
client has released and re-used for some other purpose.

Note that this is a full solution for FRWR, but FMR and physical
still have some gaps where a particularly bad server can wreak
some havoc on the client. These gaps are not made worse by this
patch and are expected to be exceptionally rare and timing-based.

rpcrdma_marshal_req() makes a simplifying assumption: that NFS
operations with large Call messages have small Reply messages, and
vice versa. Therefore with RPC-over-RDMA, only one chunk type is
ever needed for each Call/Reply pair, because one direction needs
chunks, the other direction will always fit inline.

In fact, this assumption is asserted in the code:

  if (rtype != rpcrdma_noch && wtype != rpcrdma_noch) {
  	dprintk("RPC:       %s: cannot marshal multiple chunk lists\n",
		__func__);
	return -EIO;
  }

But RPCGSS_SEC breaks this assumption. Because krb5i and krb5p
perform data transformation on RPC messages before they are
transmitted, direct data placement techniques cannot be used, thus
RPC messages must be sent via a Long call in both directions.
All such calls are sent with a Position Zero Read chunk, and all
such replies are handled with a Reply chunk. Thus the client must
provide every Call/Reply pair with both a Read list and a Reply
chunk.

Without any special security in effect, NFSv4 WRITEs may now also
use the Read list and provide a Reply chunk. The marshal_req
logic was preventing that, meaning an NFSv4 WRITE with a large
payload that included a GETATTR result larger than the inline
threshold would fail.

The code that encodes each chunk list is now completely contained in
its own function. There is some code duplication, but the trade-off
is that the overall logic should be more clear.

Note that all three chunk lists now share the rl_segments array.
Some additional per-req accounting is necessary to track this
usage. For the same reasons that the above simplifying assumption
has held true for so long, I don't expect more array elements are
needed at this time.

When deciding whether to send a Call inline, rpcrdma_marshal_req
doesn't take into account header bytes consumed by chunk lists.
This results in Call messages on the wire that are sometimes larger
than the inline threshold.

Likewise, when a Write list or Reply chunk is in play, the server's
reply has to emit an RDMA Send that includes a larger-than-minimal
RPC-over-RDMA header.

The actual size of a Call message cannot be estimated until after
the chunk lists have been registered. Thus the size of each
RPC-over-RDMA header can be estimated only after chunks are
registered; but the decision to register chunks is based on the size
of that header. Chicken, meet egg.

The best a client can do is estimate header size based on the
largest header that might occur, and then ensure that inline content
is always smaller than that.

A single memory allocation is used for the pair of buffers wherein
the RPC client builds an RPC call message and decodes its matching
reply. These buffers are sized based on the maximum possible size
of the RPC call and reply messages for the operation in progress.

This means that as the call buffer increases in size, the start of
the reply buffer is pushed farther into the memory allocation.

RPC requests are growing in size. It used to be that both the call
and reply buffers fit inside a single page.

But these days, thanks to NFSv4 (and especially security labels in
NFSv4.2) the maximum call and reply sizes are large. NFSv4.0 OPEN,
for example, now requires a 6KB allocation for a pair of call and
reply buffers, and NFSv4 LOOKUP is not far behind.

As the maximum size of a call increases, the reply buffer is pushed
far enough into the buffer's memory allocation that a page boundary
can appear in the middle of it.

When the maximum possible reply size is larger than the client's
RDMA receive buffers (currently 1KB), the client has to register a
Reply chunk for the server to RDMA Write the reply into.

The logic in rpcrdma_convert_iovs() assumes that xdr_buf head and
tail buffers would always be contained on a single page. It supplies
just one segment for the head and one for the tail.

FMR, for example, registers up to a page boundary (only a portion of
the reply buffer in the OPEN case above). But without additional
segments, it doesn't register the rest of the buffer.

When the server tries to write the OPEN reply, the RDMA Write fails
with a remote access error since the client registered only part of
the Reply chunk.

rpcrdma_convert_iovs() must split the XDR buffer into multiple
segments, each of which are guaranteed not to contain a page
boundary. That way fmr_op_map is given the proper number of segments
to register the whole reply buffer.

There is a window between the time the RPC reply handler wakes the
waiting RPC task and when xprt_release() invokes ops->buf_free.
During this time, memory regions containing the data payload may
still be accessed by a broken or malicious server, but the RPC
application has already been allowed access to the memory containing
the RPC request's data payloads.

The server should be fenced from client memory containing RPC data
payloads _before_ the RPC application is allowed to continue.

This change also more strongly enforces send queue accounting. There
is a maximum number of RPC calls allowed to be outstanding. When an
RPC/RDMA transport is set up, just enough send queue resources are
allocated to handle registration, Send, and invalidation WRs for
each those RPCs at the same time.

Before, additional RPC calls could be dispatched while invalidation
WRs were still consuming send WQEs. When invalidation WRs backed
up, dispatching additional RPCs resulted in a send queue overrun.

Now, the reply handler prevents RPC dispatch until invalidation is
complete. This prevents RPC call dispatch until there are enough
send queue resources to proceed.

Still to do: If an RPC exits early (say, ^C), the reply handler has
no opportunity to perform invalidation. Currently, xprt_rdma_free()
still frees remaining RDMA resources, which could deadlock.
Additional changes are needed to handle invalidation properly in this
case.

Currently xprtrdma appends an extra chunk element to the RPC/RDMA
read chunk list of each NFSv4 WRITE compound. The extra element
contains the final GETATTR operation in the compound.

The result is an extra RDMA READ operation to transfer a very short
piece of each NFS WRITE compound (typically 16 bytes). This is
inefficient.

It is also incorrect.

The client is sending the trailing GETATTR at the same Position as
the preceding WRITE data payload. Whether or not RFC 5667 allows
the GETATTR to appear in a read chunk, RFC 5666 requires that these
two separate RPC arguments appear at two distinct Positions.

It can also be argued that the GETATTR operation is not bulk data,
and therefore RFC 5667 forbids its appearance in a read chunk at
all.

Although RFC 5667 is not precise about when using a read list with
NFSv4 COMPOUND is allowed, the intent is that only data arguments
not touched by NFS (ie, read and write payloads) are to be sent
using RDMA READ or WRITE.

The NFS client constructs GETATTR arguments itself, and therefore is
required to send the trailing GETATTR operation as additional inline
content, not as a data payload.

NB: This change is not backwards compatible. Some older servers do
not accept inline content following the read list. The Linux NFS
server should handle this content correctly as of commit
a97c331f ("svcrdma: Handle additional inline content").

The client has been setting up a reply chunk for NFS READs that are
smaller than the inline threshold. This is not efficient: both the
server and client CPUs have to copy the reply's data payload into
and out of the memory region that is then transferred via RDMA.

Using the write list, the data payload is moved by the device and no
extra data copying is necessary.

When the size of the RPC message is near the inline threshold (1KB),
the client would allow messages to be sent that were a few bytes too
large.

When marshaling RPC/RDMA requests, ensure the combined size of
RPC/RDMA header and RPC header do not exceed the inline threshold.
Endpoints typically reject RPC/RDMA messages that exceed the size
of their receive buffers.

The two server implementations I test with (Linux and Solaris) use
receive buffers that are larger than the client’s inline threshold.
Thus so far this has been benign, observed only by code inspection.
