      Inconsistent setattr behaviour · 0953e620
      Sachin S. Prabhu authored 
      There is an inconsistency seen in the behaviour of nfs compared to other local
filesystems on linux when changing owner or group of a directory. If the
directory has SUID/SGID flags set, on changing owner or group on the directory,
the flags are stripped off on nfs. These flags are maintained on other
filesystems such as ext3.

To reproduce on a nfs share or local filesystem, run the following commands
mkdir test; chmod +s+g test; chown user1 test; ls -ld test

On the nfs share, the flags are stripped and the output seen is
drwxr-xr-x 2 user1 root 4096 Feb 23  2009 test

On other local filesystems(ex: ext3), the flags are not stripped and the output
seen is
drwsr-sr-x 2 user1 root 4096 Feb 23 13:57 test

chown_common() called from sys_chown() will only strip the flags if the inode is
not a directory.
static int chown_common(struct dentry * dentry, uid_t user, gid_t group)
{
..
        if (!S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode))
                newattrs.ia_valid |=
                        ATTR_KILL_SUID | ATTR_KILL_SGID | ATTR_KILL_PRIV;
..
}

See: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7990989775/xsh/chown.html

"If the path argument refers to a regular file, the set-user-ID (S_ISUID) and
set-group-ID (S_ISGID) bits of the file mode are cleared upon successful return
from chown(), unless the call is made by a process with appropriate privileges,
in which case it is implementation-dependent whether these bits are altered. If
chown() is successfully invoked on a file that is not a regular file, these
bits may be cleared. These bits are defined in <sys/stat.h>."

The behaviour as it stands does not appear to violate POSIX.  However the
actions performed are inconsistent when comparing ext3 and nfs.

      svcrpc: take advantage of tcp autotuning · 47a14ef1
      Olga Kornievskaia authored 
      Allow the NFSv4 server to make use of TCP autotuning behaviour, which
was previously disabled by setting the sk_userlocks variable.

Set the receive buffers to be big enough to receive the whole RPC
request, and set this for the listening socket, not the accept socket.

Remove the code that readjusts the receive/send buffer sizes for the
accepted socket. Previously this code was used to influence the TCP
window management behaviour, which is no longer needed when autotuning
is enabled.

This can improve IO bandwidth on networks with high bandwidth-delay
products, where a large tcp window is required.  It also simplifies
performance tuning, since getting adequate tcp buffers previously
required increasing the number of nfsd threads.

      nfsd4: don't check ip address in setclientid · 026722c2
      J. Bruce Fields authored 
      The spec allows clients to change ip address, so we shouldn't be
requiring that setclientid always come from the same address.  For
example, a client could reboot and get a new dhcpd address, but still
present the same clientid to the server.  In that case the server should
revoke the client's previous state and allow it to continue, instead of
(as it currently does) returning a CLID_INUSE error.

      knfsd: add file to export stats about nfsd pools · 03cf6c9f
      Greg Banks authored 
      Add /proc/fs/nfsd/pool_stats to export to userspace various
statistics about the operation of rpc server thread pools.

This patch is based on a forward-ported version of
knfsd-add-pool-thread-stats which has been shipping in the SGI
"Enhanced NFS" product since 2006 and which was previously
posted:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.nfs/10375

It has also been updated thus:

 * moved EXPORT_SYMBOL() to near the function it exports
 * made the new struct struct seq_operations const
 * used SEQ_START_TOKEN instead of ((void *)1)
 * merged fix from SGI PV 990526 "sunrpc: use dprintk instead of
   printk in svc_pool_stats_*()" by Harshula Jayasuriya.
 * merged fix from SGI PV 964001 "Crash reading pool_stats before
   nfsds are started".
