Prepare for more generic transport endpoint handling needed by transports that might use different forms of addressing, such as IPv6. Introduce a single function call to replace the two-call xprt_create_proto/rpc_create_client API. Define a new rpc_create_args structure that allows callers to pass in remote endpoint addresses of varying length. Test-plan: Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled. Signed-off-by:

IPv6 addresses are big (128 bytes). Now that no RPC client consumers treat the addr field in rpc_xprt structs as an opaque, and access it only via the API calls, we can safely widen the field in the rpc_xprt struct to accomodate larger addresses.

Provide an API for formatting the remote peer address for printing without exposing its internal structure. The address could be dynamic, so we support a function call to get the address rather than reading it straight out of a structure. Test-plan: Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily). Probably need to rig a server where certain services aren't running, or that returns an error for some typical operation. Signed-off-by:

Introduce a clean transport switch API for plugging in different types of rpcbind mechanisms. For instance, rpcbind can cleanly replace the existing portmapper client, or a transport can choose to implement RPC binding any way it likes.

Move connection and bind state that was maintained in the rpc_clnt structure to the rpc_xprt structure. This will allow the creation of a clean API for plugging in different types of bind mechanisms. This brings improvements such as the elimination of a single spin lock to control serialization for all in-kernel RPC binding. A set of per-xprt bitops is used to serialize tasks during RPC binding, just like it now works for making RPC transport connections.

Invoke security_d_instantiate() on root dentries after allocating them with dentry_alloc_anon(). Normally dentry_alloc_root() would do that, but we don't call that as we don't want to assign a name to the root dentry at this point (we may discover the real name later). Signed-Off-By:

The attached patch makes NFS share superblocks between mounts from the same server and FSID over the same protocol. It does this by creating each superblock with a false root and returning the real root dentry in the vfsmount presented by get_sb(). The root dentry set starts off as an anonymous dentry if we don't already have the dentry for its inode, otherwise it simply returns the dentry we already have. We may thus end up with several trees of dentries in the superblock, and if at some later point one of anonymous tree roots is discovered by normal filesystem activity to be located in another tree within the superblock, the anonymous root is named and materialises attached to the second tree at the appropriate point. Why do it this way? Why not pass an extra argument to the mount() syscall to indicate the subpath and then pathwalk from the server root to the desired directory? You can't guarantee this will work for two reasons: (1) The root and intervening nodes may not be accessible to the client. With NFS2 and NFS3, for instance, mountd is called on the server to get the filehandle for the tip of a path. mountd won't give us handles for anything we don't have permission to access, and so we can't set up NFS inodes for such nodes, and so can't easily set up dentries (we'd have to have ghost inodes or something). With this patch we don't actually create dentries until we get handles from the server that we can use to set up their inodes, and we don't actually bind them into the tree until we know for sure where they go. (2) Inaccessible symbolic links. If we're asked to mount two exports from the server, eg: mount warthog:/warthog/aaa/xxx /mmm mount warthog:/warthog/bbb/yyy /nnn We may not be able to access anything nearer the root than xxx and yyy, but we may find out later that /mmm/www/yyy, say, is actually the same directory as the one mounted on /nnn. What we might then find out, for example, is that /warthog/bbb was actually a symbolic link to /warthog/aaa/xxx/www, but we can't actually determine that by talking to the server until /warthog is made available by NFS. This would lead to having constructed an errneous dentry tree which we can't easily fix. We can end up with a dentry marked as a directory when it should actually be a symlink, or we could end up with an apparently hardlinked directory. With this patch we need not make assumptions about the type of a dentry for which we can't retrieve information, nor need we assume we know its place in the grand scheme of things until we actually see that place. This patch reduces the possibility of aliasing in the inode and page caches for inodes that may be accessed by more than one NFS export. It also reduces the number of superblocks required for NFS where there are many NFS exports being used from a server (home directory server + autofs for example). This in turn makes it simpler to do local caching of network filesystems, as it can then be guaranteed that there won't be links from multiple inodes in separate superblocks to the same cache file. Obviously, cache aliasing between different levels of NFS protocol could still be a problem, but at least that gives us another key to use when indexing the cache. This patch makes the following changes: (1) The server record construction/destruction has been abstracted out into its own set of functions to make things easier to get right. These have been moved into fs/nfs/client.c. All the code in fs/nfs/client.c has to do with the management of connections to servers, and doesn't touch superblocks in any way; the remaining code in fs/nfs/super.c has to do with VFS superblock management. (2) The sequence of events undertaken by NFS mount is now reordered: (a) A volume representation (struct nfs_server) is allocated. (b) A server representation (struct nfs_client) is acquired. This may be allocated or shared, and is keyed on server address, port and NFS version. (c) If allocated, the client representation is initialised. The state member variable of nfs_client is used to prevent a race during initialisation from two mounts. (d) For NFS4 a simple pathwalk is performed, walking from FH to FH to find the root filehandle for the mount (fs/nfs/getroot.c). For NFS2/3 we are given the root FH in advance. (e) The volume FSID is probed for on the root FH. (f) The volume representation is initialised from the FSINFO record retrieved on the root FH. (g) sget() is called to acquire a superblock. This may be allocated or shared, keyed on client pointer and FSID. (h) If allocated, the superblock is initialised. (i) If the superblock is shared, then the new nfs_server record is discarded. (j) The root dentry for this mount is looked up from the root FH. (k) The root dentry for this mount is assigned to the vfsmount. (3) nfs_readdir_lookup() creates dentries for each of the entries readdir() returns; this function now attaches disconnected trees from alternate roots that happen to be discovered attached to a directory being read (in the same way nfs_lookup() is made to do for lookup ops). The new d_materialise_unique() function is now used to do this, thus permitting the whole thing to be done under one set of locks, and thus avoiding any race between mount and lookup operations on the same directory. (4) The client management code uses a new debug facility: NFSDBG_CLIENT which is set by echoing 1024 to /proc/net/sunrpc/nfs_debug. (5) Clone mounts are now called xdev mounts. (6) Use the dentry passed to the statfs() op as the handle for retrieving fs statistics rather than the root dentry of the superblock (which is now a dummy). Signed-Off-By: -

Eliminate nfs_server::client_sys in favour of nfs_client::cl_rpcclient as we only really need one per server that we're talking to since it doesn't have any security on it. The retransmission management variables are also moved to the common struct as they're required to set up the cl_rpcclient connection. The NFS2/3 client and client_acl connections are thenceforth derived by cloning the cl_rpcclient connection and post-applying the authorisation flavour. The code for setting up the initial common connection has been moved to client.c as nfs_create_rpc_client(). All the NFS program definition tables are also moved there as that's where they're now required rather than super.c. Signed-Off-By:

Generalise the nfs_client structure by: (1) Moving nfs_client to a more general place (nfs_fs_sb.h). (2) Renaming its maintenance routines to be non-NFS4 specific. (3) Move those maintenance routines to a new non-NFS4 specific file (client.c) and move the declarations to internal.h. (4) Make nfs_find/get_client() take a full sockaddr_in to include the port number (will be required for NFS2/3). (5) Make nfs_find/get_client() take the NFS protocol version (again will be required to differentiate NFS2, 3 & 4 client records). Also: (6) Make nfs_client construction proceed akin to inodes, marking them as under construction and providing a function to indicate completion. (7) Make nfs_get_client() wait interruptibly if it finds a client that it can share, but that client is currently being constructed. (8) Make nfs4_create_client() use (6) and (7) instead of locking cl_sem. Signed-Off-By: -

The attached patch adds a new directory cache management function that prepares a disconnected anonymous function to be connected into the dentry tree. The anonymous dentry is transferred the name and parentage from another dentry. The following changes were made in [try #2]: (*) d_materialise_dentry() now switches the parentage of the two nodes around correctly when one or other of them is self-referential. The following changes were made in [try #7]: (*) d_instantiate_unique() has had the interior part split out as function __d_instantiate_unique(). Callers of this latter function must be holding the appropriate locks. (*) _d_rehash() has been added as a wrapper around __d_rehash() to call it with the most obvious hash list (the one from the name). d_rehash() now calls _d_rehash(). (*) d_materialise_dentry() is now __d_materialise_dentry() and is static. (*) d_materialise_unique() added to perform the combination of d_find_alias(), d_materialise_dentry() and d_add_unique() that the NFS client was doing twice, all within a single dcache_lock critical section. This reduces the number of times two different spinlocks were being accessed. The following further changes were made: (*) Add the dentries onto their parents d_subdirs lists. Signed-Off-By: -

A pinned inode may in theory end up filling memory with cached ACCESS calls. This patch ensures that the VM may shrink away the cache in these particular cases. The shrinker works by iterating through the list of inodes on the global nfs_access_lru_list, and removing the least recently used access cache entry until it is done (or until the entire cache is empty).
