1ca277d88d NFS: Shrink the struct nfs_fattr
We don't need the bitmap[] field anymore, since the 'valid' field tells us
all we need to know about which attributes were filled in...
Also move the pre-op attributes in order to improve the structure packing.

9e6e70f8d8 NFSv4: Support NFSv4 optional attributes in the struct nfs_fattr
Currently, filling struct nfs_fattr is more or less an all or nothing
operation, since NFSv2 and NFSv3 have only mandatory attributes.
In NFSv4, some attributes are optional, and so we may simply not be able to
fill in those fields. Furthermore, NFSv4 allows you to specify which
attributes you are interested in retrieving, thus permitting you to
optimise away retrieval of attributes that you know will no change...

37d9d76d8b NFS: flush cached directory information slightly more readily.
If cached directory contents becomes incorrect, there is no way to
flush the contents.  This contrasts with files where file locking is
the recommended way to ensure cache consistency between multiple
applications (a read-lock always flushes the cache).

Also while changes to files often change the size of the file (thus
triggering a cache flush), changes to directories often do not change
the apparent size (as the size is often rounded to a block size).

So it is particularly important with directories to avoid the
possibility of an incorrect cache wherever possible.

When the link count on a directory changes it implies a change in the
number of child directories, and so a change in the contents of this
directory.  So use that as a trigger to flush cached contents.

When the ctime changes but the mtime does not, there are two possible
reasons.
 1/ The owner/mode information has been changed.
 2/ utimes has been used to set the mtime backwards.

In the first case, a data-cache flush is not required.
In the second case it is.

So on the basis that correctness trumps performance, flush the
directory contents cache in this case also.

d7371c41b0 Bug 11061, NFS mounts dropped
Addresses: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11061

sockaddr structures can't be reliably compared using memcmp() because
there are padding bytes in the structure which can't be guaranteed to
be the same even when the sockaddr structures refer to the same
socket. Instead compare all the relevant fields. In the case of IPv6
sin6_flowinfo is not compared because it only affects QoS and
sin6_scope_id is only compared if the address is "link local" because
"link local" addresses need only be unique to a specific link.

a71ee337b3 NFS: Handle -ESTALE error in access()
Hi Trond,

I have been looking at a bugreport where trying to open applications on KDE
on a NFS mounted home fails temporarily. There have been multiple reports on
different kernel versions pointing to this common issue:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12557
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269954
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508866.html

This issue can be reproducible consistently by doing this on a NFS mounted
home (KDE):
1. Open 2 xterm sessions
2. From one of the xterm session, do "ssh -X <remote host>"
3. "stat ~/.Xauthority" on the remote SSH session
4. Close the two xterm sessions
5. On the server do a "stat ~/.Xauthority"
6. Now on the client, try to open xterm
This will fail.

Even if the filehandle had become stale, the NFS client should invalidate
the cache/inode and should repeat LOOKUP. Looking at the packet capture when
the failure occurs shows that there were two subsequent ACCESS() calls with
the same filehandle and both fails with -ESTALE error.

I have tested the fix below. Now the client issue a LOOKUP after the
ACCESS() call fails with -ESTALE. If all this makes sense to you, can you
consider this for inclusion?

Thanks,


If the server returns an -ESTALE error due to stale filehandle in response to
an ACCESS() call, we need to invalidate the cache and inode so that LOOKUP()
can be retried. Without this change, the nfs client retries ACCESS() with the
same filehandle, fails again and could lead to temporary failure of
applications running on nfs mounted home.

ae46141ff0 NFSv3: Fix posix ACL code
Fix a memory leak due to allocation in the XDR layer. In cases where the
RPC call needs to be retransmitted, we end up allocating new pages without
clearing the old ones. Fix this by moving the allocation into
nfs3_proc_setacls().

Also fix an issue discovered by Kevin Rudd, whereby the amount of memory
reserved for the acls in the xdr_buf->head was miscalculated, and causing

54566b2c15 fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened.  They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim.  This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.

The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called.  It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock.  The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.

Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS.  Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function.  Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).

This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg.  ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

executed and does not return -NFS4ERR_DELAY the "exception.retry"
variable is not reset to 0, causing the loop to iterate again
(and as long as err != -NFS4ERR_DELAY, probably forever)

64672d55d9 optimize attribute timeouts for "noac" and "actimeo=0"
Hi.

I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where
a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0"
mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were
seeing in the file attributes.  It turned out that this solution
did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local
attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out.
(With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always
appear to be timed out.)

In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem
is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one
error in it.  It is assuming that the cache is valid in the
region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo].  The
cache should be considered valid only in the region,
[read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo).  With this
change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally
expected.

This problem was previously addressed by special casing the
attrtimeo == 0 case.  However, since the problem is only an off-
by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one
error and thus, not require the special case.

    Thanx...

        ps

d740351bf0 NFS: add "[no]resvport" mount option
The standard default security setting for NFS is AUTH_SYS.  An NFS
client connects to NFS servers via a privileged source port and a
fixed standard destination port (2049).  The client sends raw uid and
gid numbers to identify users making NFS requests, and the server
assumes an appropriate authority on the client has vetted these
values because the source port is privileged.

On Linux, by default in-kernel RPC services use a privileged port in
the range between 650 and 1023 to avoid using source ports of well-
known IP services.  Using such a small range limits the number of NFS
mount points and the number of unique NFS servers to which a client
can connect concurrently.

An NFS client can use unprivileged source ports to expand the range of
source port numbers, allowing more concurrent server connections and
more NFS mount points.  Servers must explicitly allow NFS connections
from unprivileged ports for this to work.

In the past, bumping the value of the sunrpc.max_resvport sysctl on
the client would permit the NFS client to use unprivileged ports.
Bumping this setting also changes the maximum port number used by
other in-kernel RPC services, some of which still required a port
number less than 1023.

This is exacerbated by the way source port numbers are chosen by the
Linux RPC client, which starts at the top of the range and works
downwards.  It means that bumping the maximum means all RPC services
requesting a source port will likely get an unprivileged port instead
of a privileged one.

Changing this setting effects all NFS mount points on a client.  A
sysadmin could not selectively choose which mount points would use
non-privileged ports and which could not.

Lastly, this mechanism of expanding the limit on the number of NFS
mount points was entirely undocumented.

To address the need for the NFS client to use a large range of source
ports without interfering with the activity of other in-kernel RPC
services, we introduce a new NFS mount option.  This option explicitly
tells only the NFS client to use a non-privileged source port when
communicating with the NFS server for one specific mount point.

This new mount option is called "resvport," like the similar NFS mount
option on FreeBSD and Mac OS X.  A sister patch for nfs-utils will be
submitted that documents this new option in nfs(5).

The default setting for this new mount option requires the NFS client
to use a privileged port, as before.  Explicitly specifying the
"noresvport" mount option allows the NFS client to use an unprivileged
source port for this mount point when connecting to the NFS server
port.

This mount option is supported only for text-based NFS mounts.

[ Sidebar: it is widely known that security mechanisms based on the
  use of privileged source ports are ineffective.  However, the NFS
  client can combine the use of unprivileged ports with the use of
  secure authentication mechanisms, such as Kerberos.  This allows a
  large number of connections and mount points while ensuring a useful
  level of security.

  Eventually we may change the default setting for this option
  depending on the security flavor used for the mount.  For example,
  if the mount is using only AUTH_SYS, then the default setting will
  be "resvport;" if the mount is using a strong security flavor such
  as krb5, the default setting will be "noresvport." ]

136221fc32 nfs: remove redundant tests on reading new pages
aops->readpages() and its NFS helper readpage_async_filler() will only
be called to do readahead I/O for newly allocated pages. So it's not
necessary to test for the always 0 dirty/uptodate page flags.

The removal of nfs_wb_page() call also fixes a readahead bug: the NFS
readahead has been synchronous since 2.6.23, because that call will
clear PG_readahead, which is the reminder for asynchronous readahead.

More background: the PG_readahead page flag is shared with PG_reclaim,
one for read path and the other for write path. clear_page_dirty_for_io()
unconditionally clears PG_readahead to prevent possible readahead residuals,
assuming itself to be always called in the write path. However, NFS is one
and the only exception in that it _always_ calls clear_page_dirty_for_io()
in the read path, i.e. for readpages()/readpage().

f696a3659f [PATCH] move executable checking into ->permission()
For execute permission on a regular files we need to check if file has
any execute bits at all, regardless of capabilites.

This check is normally performed by generic_permission() but was also
added to the case when the filesystem defines its own ->permission()
method.  In the latter case the filesystem should be responsible for
performing this check.

Move the check from inode_permission() inside filesystems which are
not calling generic_permission().

Create a helper function execute_ok() that returns true if the inode
is a directory or if any execute bits are present in i_mode.

Also fix up the following code:

 - coda control file is never executable
 - sysctl files are never executable
 - hfs_permission seems broken on MAY_EXEC, remove
 - hfsplus_permission is eqivalent to generic_permission(), remove

4f98a2fee8 vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets
Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file
systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap
("anon").  The latter includes tmpfs.

The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots
of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to
find the page cache pages that it should evict.

This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much
we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists.  The big
policy changes are in separate patches.

A scope delimiter is present, but there is no scope ID following it.
This is harmless, as it would simply set the scope ID to zero.  However,
in some cases we would like to flag this as an improperly formed
address.

We are now also careful to reject addresses where garbage follows the
address (up to the length of the string), instead of ignoring the
non-address characters; and where the scope ID is nonsense (not a valid
device name, but also not numeric).  Before, both of these cases would
result in a harmless zero scope ID.

03254e65a6 NFS: Fix attribute updates
This fixes a regression seen when running the Connectathon testsuite
against an ext3 filesystem. The reason was that the inode was constantly
being marked as 'just updated' by the jiffy wraparound test.
This again meant that newer GETATTR calls were failing to pass the
nfs_inode_attrs_need_update() test unless the changes caused a ctime update
on the server, since they were perceived as having been started before the
latest inode update.

Given that nfs_inode_attrs_need_update() already checks for wraparound
of nfsi->last_updated, we can drop the buggy "protection" in
nfs_update_inode().

Also make a slight micro-optimisation of nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(): we
are more often going to see time_after(fattr->time_start, nfsi->last_updated)
be true, rather than seeing an update of ctime/size, so put that test
first to ensure that we optimise away the ctime/size tests.

nfs_mount() statically returns -EACCES for every error returned
by the remote mounted. This is incorrect because -EACCES is

mount.nfs to retry the mount even in the case when the exported
directory does not exist.

This patch maps the errors returned by the remote mountd into
valid errno values, exactly how it was done pre-string based
mounts. By returning the correct errno enables mount.nfs
to do the right thing.

37ca8f5c60 nfs: authenticated deep mounting
Allow mount to do authenticated mounts below the root of the exported tree.
The wording in RFC 2623, sec 2.3.2. allows fsinfo with UNIX authentication
on the root of the export. Mounts are not always done on the root
of the exported tree. Especially autoumounts often mount below the root of
the exported tree.
Some server implementations (justly) require full authentication for the
so-called deep mounts. The old code used AUTH_SYS only. This caused deep
mounts to fail on systems requiring stronger authentication..
The client should try both authentication types and use the first one that
succeeds.
This method was already partially implemented. This patch completes
the implementation for NFS2 and NFS3.
This patch was developed to allow Debian systems to automount home directories
on Solaris servers with krb5 authentication.

44d5759d3f nfs: BUG_ON in nfs_follow_mountpoint
Unfortunately, BUG_ON(IS_ROOT(dentry)) can happen inside
nfs_follow_mountpoint with NFS running Fedora 8 using a
specific setup.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458622

So, the situation should be handled on NFS client gracefully.

691beb13cd NFS: Allow concurrent inode revalidation
Currently, if two processes are both trying to revalidate metadata for the
same inode, they will find themselves being serialised. There is no good
justification for this now that we have improved our ability to detect
stale attribute data, so we should remove that serialisation.

076f1fc94c NFS: Don't clear nfsi->cache_validity in nfs_check_inode_attributes()
If we're merely checking the inode attributes because we suspect that the
'updated' attributes returned by the RPC call are stale, then we shouldn't
be doing weak cache consistency updates or clearing the cache_validity
flags.

4dc05efb86 NFS: Convert __nfs_revalidate_inode() to use nfs_refresh_inode()
In the case where there are parallel RPC calls to the same inode, we may
receive stale metadata due to the lack of ordering, hence the sanity
checking of metadata in nfs_refresh_inode().
Currently, __nfs_revalidate_inode() is calling nfs_update_inode() directly,
without any further sanity checks, and hence may end up setting the inode
up with stale metadata.

Fix is to use nfs_refresh_inode() instead of nfs_update_inode().

d65f557f39 NFS: Fix nfs_post_op_update_inode_force_wcc()
If we believe that the attributes are old (see nfs_refresh_inode()), then
we shouldn't force an update.
Also ensure that we hold the inode->i_lock across attribute checks and the
call to nfs_refresh_inode_locked() to ensure that we don't race with other
attribute updates.
