Send along the already-allocated fattr along with nfs4_fs_locations, and drop the memcpy of fattr.

Pass updated i_size in fscache_unuse_cookie() when called from nfs_fscache_release_file(), which ensures the size of an fscache object gets written to the cache storage. Failing to do so results in unnessary reads from the NFS server, even when the data is cached, due to a cachefiles object coherency check failing with a trace similar to the following: cachefiles_coherency: o=0000000e BAD osiz B=afbb3 c=0 This problem can be reproduced as follows: #!/bin/bash v=4.2; NFS_SERVER=127.0.0.1 set -e; trap cleanup EXIT; rc=1 function cleanup { umount /mnt/nfs > /dev/null 2>&1 RC_STR="TEST PASS" [ $rc -eq 1 ] && RC_STR="TEST FAIL" echo "$RC_STR on $(uname -r) with NFSv$v and server $NFS_SERVER" } mount -o vers=$v,fsc $NFS_SERVER:/export /mnt/nfs rm -f /mnt/nfs/file1.bin > /dev/null 2>&1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/nfs/file1.bin bs=4096 count=1 > /dev/null 2>&1 echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches echo Read file 1st time from NFS server into fscache dd if=/mnt/nfs/file1.bin of=/dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 umount /mnt/nfs && mount -o vers=$v,fsc $NFS_SERVER:/export /mnt/nfs echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches echo Read file 2nd time from fscache dd if=/mnt/nfs/file1.bin of=/dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 echo Check mountstats for NFS read grep -q "READ: 0" /proc/self/mountstats # (1st number) == 0 [ $? -eq 0 ] && rc=0 Fixes: a6b5a28e "nfs: Convert to new fscache volume/cookie API" Signed-off-by: Dave Wysochanski <dwysocha@redhat.com> Tested-by: Daire Byrne <daire@dneg.com> Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@Netapp.com>

To enable NFSv4 to work correctly, NFSv4 client identifiers have to be globally unique and persistent over client reboots. We believe that in many cases, a good default identifier can be chosen and set when a client system is imaged. Because there are many different ways a system can be imaged, provide an explanation of how NFSv4 client identifiers and principals can be set by install scripts and imaging tools. Additional cases, such as NFSv4 clients running in containers, also need unique and persistent identifiers. The Linux NFS community sets forth this explanation to aid those who create and manage container environments.

NFSv4 can lose locks if, for example there is a network partition for longer than the lease period. When this happens a warning message NFS: __nfs4_reclaim_open_state: Lock reclaim failed! is generated, possibly once for each lock (though rate limited). This is potentially misleading as is can be read as suggesting that lock reclaim was attempted. However the default behaviour is to not attempt to recover locks (except due to server report). This patch changes the reporting to produce at most one message for each attempt to recover all state from a given server. The message reports the server name and the number of locks lost if that number is non-zero. It reports that locks were lost and give no suggestion as to whether there was an attempt or not.

Enable access to the NFSv4 acl via the NFSv4.1 'dacl' and 'sacl' attributes. This allows the server to authenticate the DACL and the SACL operations separately, since reading and/or editing the SACL is usually considered to be a privileged operation. It also allows the propagation of automatic inheritance information that was not supported by the NFSv4.0 'acl' attribute.

When we handle an error by redirtying the page, we're not corrupting the mapping, so we don't want the error to be recorded in the mapping. If the caller has specified a sync_mode of WB_SYNC_NONE, we can just return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE. However if we're dealing with WB_SYNC_ALL, we need to ensure that retries happen when the errors are non-fatal.

Commit 587f03de caused pnfs_update_layout() to stop returning ENOMEM when the memory allocation fails, and hence causes it to fall back to trying to do I/O through the MDS. There is no guarantee that this will fare any better. If we're failing the pNFS layout allocation, then we should just redirty the page and retry later.

Any errors reported by the write() system call need to be cleared from the file descriptor's error tracking. The current call to nfs_wb_all() causes the error to be reported, but since it doesn't call file_check_and_advance_wb_err(), we can end up reporting the same error a second time when the application calls fsync(). Note that since Linux 4.13, the rule is that EIO may be reported for write(), but it must be reported by a subsequent fsync(), so let's just drop reporting it in write. The check for nfs_ctx_key_to_expire() is just a duplicate to the one already in nfs_write_end(), so let's drop that too.

We're having unresolved issues with the glock holder auto-demotion mechanism introduced in commit dc732906. This mechanism was assumed to be essential for avoiding frequent short reads and writes until commit 296abc0d ("gfs2: No short reads or writes upon glock contention"). Since then, when the inode glock is lost, it is simply re-acquired and the operation is resumed. This means that apart from the performance penalty, we might as well drop the inode glock before faulting in pages, and re-acquire it afterwards.

In gfs2_file_buffered_write, to increase the likelihood that all the user memory we're trying to write will be resident in memory, carry out the write in chunks and fault in each chunk of user memory before trying to write it. Otherwise, some workloads will trigger frequent short "internal" writes, causing filesystem blocks to be allocated and then partially deallocated again when writing into holes, which is wasteful and breaks reservations. Neither the chunked writes nor any of the short "internal" writes are user visible. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>

Align the chunks that reads and writes are carried out in to the page cache rather than the user buffers. This will be more efficient in general, especially for allocating writes. Optimizing the case that the user buffer is gfs2 backed isn't very useful; we only need to make sure we won't deadlock. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>

Pull the return value test of the previous read or write operation out of should_fault_in_pages(). In a following patch, we'll fault in pages before the I/O and there will be no return value to check. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>

Instead of counting the number of bytes read from the filesystem, functions gfs2_file_direct_read and gfs2_file_read_iter count the number of bytes written into the user buffer. Conversely, functions gfs2_file_direct_write and gfs2_file_buffered_write count the number of bytes read from the user buffer. This is nothing but confusing, so change the read functions to count how many bytes they have read, and the write functions to count how many bytes they have written.
