rpc tasks can be marked as RPC_TASK_SWAPPER. This causes GFP_MEMALLOC to be used for some allocations. This is needed in some cases, but not in all where it is currently provided, and in some where it isn't provided. Currently *all* tasks associated with a rpc_client on which swap is enabled get the flag and hence some GFP_MEMALLOC support. GFP_MEMALLOC is provided for ->buf_alloc() but only swap-writes need it. However xdr_alloc_bvec does not get GFP_MEMALLOC - though it often does need it. xdr_alloc_bvec is called while the XPRT_LOCK is held. If this blocks, then it blocks all other queued tasks. So this allocation needs GFP_MEMALLOC for *all* requests, not just writes, when the xprt is used for any swap writes. Similarly, if the transport is not connected, that will block all requests including swap writes, so memory allocations should get GFP_MEMALLOC if swap writes are possible. So with this patch: 1/ we ONLY set RPC_TASK_SWAPPER for swap writes. 2/ __rpc_execute() sets PF_MEMALLOC while handling any task with RPC_TASK_SWAPPER set, or when handling any task that holds the XPRT_LOCKED lock on an xprt used for swap. This removes the need for the RPC_IS_SWAPPER() test in ->buf_alloc handlers. 3/ xprt_prepare_transmit() sets PF_MEMALLOC after locking any task to a swapper xprt. __rpc_execute() will clear it. 3/ PF_MEMALLOC is set for all the connect workers.

NFS_RPC_SWAPFLAGS is only used for READ requests. It sets RPC_TASK_SWAPPER which gives some memory-allocation priority to requests. This is not needed for swap READ - though it is for writes where it is set via a different mechanism. RPC_TASK_ROOTCREDS causes the 'machine' credential to be used. This is not needed as the root credential is saved when the swap file is opened, and this is used for all IO. So NFS_RPC_SWAPFLAGS isn't needed, and as it is the only user of RPC_TASK_ROOTCREDS, that isn't needed either. Remove both.

Currently, tasks marked as "swapper" tasks get put to the front of non-priority rpc_queues, and are sorted earlier than non-swapper tasks on the transport's ->xmit_queue. This is pointless as currently *all* tasks for a mount that has swap enabled on *any* file are marked as "swapper" tasks. So the net result is that the non-priority rpc_queues are reverse-ordered (LIFO). This scheduling boost is not necessary to avoid deadlocks, and hurts fairness, so remove it. If there were a need to expedite some requests, the tk_priority mechanism is a more appropriate tool.

When memory is short, new worker threads cannot be created and we depend on the minimum one rpciod thread to be able to handle everything. So it must not block waiting for memory. xprt_dynamic_alloc_slot can block indefinitely. This can tie up all workqueue threads and NFS can deadlock. So when called from a workqueue, set __GFP_NORETRY. The rdma alloc_slot already does not block. However it sets the error to -EAGAIN suggesting this will trigger a sleep. It does not. As we can see in call_reserveresult(), only -ENOMEM causes a sleep. -EAGAIN causes immediate retry.

When memory is short, new worker threads cannot be created and we depend on the minimum one rpciod thread to be able to handle everything. So it must not block waiting for memory. mempools are particularly a problem as memory can only be released back to the mempool by an async rpc task running. If all available workqueue threads are waiting on the mempool, no thread is available to return anything. lookup_cred() can block on a mempool or kmalloc - and this can cause deadlocks. So add a new RPCAUTH_LOOKUP flag for async lookups and don't block on memory. If the -ENOMEM gets back to call_refreshresult(), wait a short while and try again. HZ>>4 is chosen as it is used elsewhere for -ENOMEM retries. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

The fscache cookie APIs including fscache_acquire_cookie() and fscache_relinquish_cookie() now have very good tracing. Thus, there is no real need for dfprintks in the NFS fscache interface.

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 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.

-
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.
