Even if we're not able to cache all the entries in the readdir buffer, let's ensure that we do prime the dcache. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

Avoid clearing the entire readdir page cache if we're just doing forced readdirplus for the 'ls -l' heuristic. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

Trond Myklebust authored
Instead of using a linear index to address the pages, use the cookie of the first entry, since that is what we use to match the page anyway. This allows us to avoid re-reading the entire cache on a seekdir() type of operation. The latter is very common when re-exporting NFS, and is a major performance drain. The change does affect our duplicate cookie detection, since we can no longer rely on the page index as a linear offset for detecting whether we looped backwards. However since we no longer do a linear search through all the pages on each call to nfs_readdir(), this is less of a concern than it was previously. The other downside is that invalidate_mapping_pages() no longer can use the page index to avoid clearing pages that have been read. A subsequent patch will restore the functionality this provides to the 'ls -l' heuristic. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

If the revalidation was forced, due to the presence of a LOOKUP_EXCL or a LOOKUP_REVAL flag, then readdirplus won't help. It also can't help when we're doing a path component lookup. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

If the filesystem is case insensitive, then readdirplus can't help with cache misses, since it won't return case folded variants of the filename. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

Instead of pretending that we know the ratio of directory info vs readdirplus attribute info, just set the 'dircount' field to the same value as the 'maxcount' field. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

If attribute caching is turned off, then use of readdirplus is not going to help stat() performance. Readdirplus also doesn't help if a file is being written to, since we will have to flush those writes in order to sync the mtime/ctime.

The heuristic for readdirplus is designed to try to detect 'ls -l' and similar patterns. It does so by looking for cache hit/miss patterns in both the attribute cache and in the dcache of the files in a given directory, and then sets a flag for the readdirplus code to interpret. The problem with this approach is that a single attribute or dcache miss can cause the NFS code to force a refresh of the attributes for the entire set of files contained in the directory. To be able to make a more nuanced decision, let's sample the number of hits and misses in the set of open directory descriptors. That allows us to set thresholds at which we start preferring READDIRPLUS over regular READDIR, or at which we start to force a re-read of the remaining readdir cache using READDIRPLUS.

When reading a very large directory, we want to try to keep the page cache up to date if doing so is inexpensive. With the change to allow readdir to continue reading even when the cache is incomplete, we no longer need to fall back to uncached readdir in order to scale to large directories.

Ensure that if the cookie verifier changes when we use the zero-valued cookie, then we invalidate any cached pages. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>
-
Trond Myklebust authored
The current NFS readdir code will always try to maximise the amount of readahead it performs on the assumption that we can cache anything that isn't immediately read by the process. There are several cases where this assumption breaks down, including when the 'ls -l' heuristic kicks in to try to force use of readdirplus as a batch replacement for lookup/getattr. This patch therefore tries to tone down the amount of readahead we perform, and adjust it to try to match the amount of data being requested by user space.

Trond Myklebust authored
If the page cache entry that was last read gets invalidated for some reason, then make sure we can re-create it on the next call to readdir. This, combined with the cache page validation, allows us to reuse the cached value of page-index on successive calls to nfs_readdir. Credit is due to Benjamin Coddington for showing that the concept works, and that it allows for improved cache sharing between processes even in the case where pages are lost due to LRU or active invalidation.

The use of mapping_set_error() in conjunction with calls to filemap_check_errors() is problematic because every error gets reported as either an EIO or an ENOSPC by filemap_check_errors() in functions such as filemap_write_and_wait() or filemap_write_and_wait_range(). In almost all cases, we prefer to use the more nuanced wb errors.

Ensure that we always initialise the 'xattr_support' field in struct nfs_fsinfo, so that nfs_server_set_fsinfo() doesn't declare our NFSv2/v3 client to be capable of supporting the NFSv4.2 xattr protocol by setting the NFS_CAP_XATTR capability. This configuration can cause nfs_do_access() to set access mode bits that are unsupported by the NFSv3 ACCESS call, which may confuse spec-compliant servers.

In order to differentiate client state, assign a random uuid to the uniquifing portion of the client identifier when a network namespace is created. Containers may still override this value if they wish to maintain stable client identifiers by writing to /sys/fs/nfs/net/client/identifier, either by udev rules or other means.
