3b68aaeaf5 SUNRPC: Always match an upcall message in gss_pipe_downcall()
It used to be possible for an rpc.gssd daemon to stuff the RPC credential
cache for any rpc client simply by creating RPCSEC_GSS contexts and then
doing downcalls. In practice, no daemons ever made use of this feature.

Remove this feature now, since it will be impossible to figure out which
mechanism a given context actually matches if we enable more
than one gss mechanism to use the same upcall pipe.

c1384c9c4c SUNRPC: fix hang due to eventd deadlock...
Brian Behlendorf writes:

The root cause of the NFS hang we were observing appears to be a rare
deadlock between the kernel provided usermodehelper API and the linux NFS
client.  The deadlock can arise because both of these services use the
generic linux work queues.  The usermodehelper API run the specified user
application in the context of the work queue.  And NFS submits both cleanup
and reconnect work to the generic work queue for handling.  Normally this
is fine but a deadlock can result in the following situation.

  - NFS client is in a disconnected state
  - [events/0] runs a usermodehelper app with an NFS dependent operation,
    this triggers an NFS reconnect.
  - NFS reconnect happens to be submitted to [events/0] work queue.
  - Deadlock, the [events/0] work queue will never process the
    reconnect because it is blocked on the previous NFS dependent
    operation which will not complete.`

The solution is simply to run reconnect requests on rpciod.

4c402b4097 SUNRPC: Remove rpc_clnt->cl_count
The kref now does most of what cl_count + cl_user used to do. The only
remaining role for cl_count is to tell us if we are in a 'shutdown'

of a full atomic counter.

Also rename rpc_destroy_client() to rpc_close_client(), which reflects
better what its role is these days.

05ed690efb knfsd: simplify a 'while' condition in svcsock.c
This while loop has an overly complex condition, which performs a couple of
assignments.  This hurts readability.

We don't really need a loop at all.  We can just return -EAGAIN and (providing
we set SK_DATA), the function will be called again.

So discard the loop, make the complex conditional become a few clear function
calls, and hopefully improve readability.

54f9247b3f knfsd: fix resource leak resulting in module refcount leak for rpcsec_gss_krb5.ko
I have been investigating a module reference count leak on the server for
rpcsec_gss_krb5.ko.  It turns out the problem is a reference count leak for
the security context in net/sunrpc/auth_gss/svcauth_gss.c.

The problem is that gss_write_init_verf() calls gss_svc_searchbyctx() which
does a rsc_lookup() but never releases the reference to the context.  There is
another issue that rpc.svcgssd sets an "end of time" expiration for the
context

By adding a cache_put() call in gss_svc_searchbyctx(), and setting an
expiration timeout in the downcall, cache_clean() does clean up the context
and the module reference count now goes to zero after unmount.

I also verified that if the context expires and then the client makes a new
request, a new context is established.

Here is the patch to fix the kernel, I will start a separate thread to discuss
what expiration time should be set by rpc.svcgssd.

cd123012d9 RPC: add wrapper for svc_reserve to account for checksum
When the kernel calls svc_reserve to downsize the expected size of an RPC
reply, it fails to account for the possibility of a checksum at the end of
the packet.  If a client mounts a NFSv2/3 with sec=krb5i/p, and does I/O
then you'll generally see messages similar to this in the server's ring
buffer:

RPC request reserved 164 but used 208

While I was never able to verify it, I suspect that this problem is also
the root cause of some oopses I've seen under these conditions:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227726

This is probably also a problem for other sec= types and for NFSv4.  The
large reserved size for NFSv4 compound packets seems to generally paper
over the problem, however.

This patch adds a wrapper for svc_reserve that accounts for the possibility
of a checksum.  It also fixes up the appropriate callers of svc_reserve to
call the wrapper.  For now, it just uses a hardcoded value that I
determined via testing.  That value may need to be revised upward as things
change, or we may want to eventually add a new auth_op that attempts to
calculate this somehow.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a good way to reliably determine
the expected checksum length prior to actually calculating it, particularly
with schemes like spkm3.

50953fe9e0 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

c5a4dd8b7c SUNRPC: Eliminate side effects from rpc_malloc
Currently rpc_malloc sets req->rq_buffer internally.  Make this a more
generic interface:  return a pointer to the new buffer (or NULL) and
make the caller set req->rq_buffer and req->rq_bufsize.  This looks much
more like kmalloc and eliminates the side effects.

To fix a potential deadlock, this patch also replaces GFP_NOFS with
GFP_NOWAIT in rpc_malloc.  This prevents async RPCs from sleeping outside
the RPC's task scheduler while allocating their buffer.

2bea90d43a SUNRPC: RPC buffer size estimates are too large
The RPC buffer size estimation logic in net/sunrpc/clnt.c always
significantly overestimates the requirements for the buffer size.
A little instrumentation demonstrated that in fact rpc_malloc was never
allocating the buffer from the mempool, but almost always called kmalloc.

To compute the size of the RPC buffer more precisely, split p_bufsiz into
two fields; one for the argument size, and one for the result size.

Then, compute the sum of the exact call and reply header sizes, and split
the RPC buffer precisely between the two.  That should keep almost all RPC
buffers within the 2KiB buffer mempool limit.

And, we can finally be rid of RPC_SLACK_SPACE!

604763722c [NET]: Treat CHECKSUM_PARTIAL as CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
When a transmitted packet is looped back directly, CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
maps to the semantics of CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.  Therefore we should
treat it as such in the stack.

b7aa0bf70c [NET]: convert network timestamps to ktime_t
We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain
'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct
sock.

This has some drawbacks :
- Fixed resolution of micro second.
- Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16

I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution
time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution.

As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits
a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other
structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in
ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...)

Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide
nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or
SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS)

Note : this patch includes a bug correction in
compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this
syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0)
