8eab945c56 sunrpc: make the cache cleaner workqueue deferrable
This patch makes the cache_cleaner workqueue deferrable, to prevent
unnecessary system wake-ups, which is very important for embedded
battery-powered devices.

do_cache_clean() is called every 30 seconds at the moment, and often
makes the system wake up from its power-save sleep state. With this
change, when the workqueue uses a deferrable timer, the
do_cache_clean() invocation will be delayed and combined with the
closest "real" wake-up. This improves the power consumption situation.

Note, I tried to create a DECLARE_DELAYED_WORK_DEFERRABLE() helper
macro, similar to DECLARE_DELAYED_WORK(), but failed because of the
way the timer wheel core stores the deferrable flag (it is the
LSBit in the time->base pointer). My attempt to define a static
variable with this bit set ended up with the "initializer element is
not constant" error.

Thus, I have to use run-time initialization, so I created a new
cache_initialize() function which is called once when sunrpc is
being initialized.

d202cce896 sunrpc: never return expired entries in sunrpc_cache_lookup
If sunrpc_cache_lookup finds an expired entry, remove it from
the cache and return a freshly created non-VALID entry instead.
This ensures that we only ever get a usable entry, or an
entry that will become usable once an update arrives.
i.e. we will never need to repeat the lookup.

This allows us to remove the 'is_expired' test from cache_check
(i.e. from cache_is_valid).  cache_check should never get an expired
entry as 'lookup' will never return one.  If it does happen - due to
inconvenient timing - then just accept it as still valid, it won't be
very much past it's use-by date.

3af4974eb2 sunrpc: don't keep expired entries in the auth caches.
currently expired entries remain in the auth caches as long
as there is a reference.
This was needed long ago when the auth_domain cache used the same
cache infrastructure.  But since that (being a very different sort
of cache) was separated, this test is no longer needed.

So remove the test on refcnt and tidy up the surrounding code.

This allows the cache_dequeue call (which needed to be there to
drop a potentially awkward reference) can be moved outside of the
spinlock which is a better place for it.

cd68c374ea sunrpc/cache: avoid variable over-loading in cache_defer_req
In cache_defer_req, 'dreq' is used for two significantly different
values that happen to be of the same type.

This is both confusing, and makes it hard to extend the range of one of
the values as we will in the next patch.
So introduce 'discard' to take one of the values.

908329f2c0 sunrpc/cache: simplify cache_fresh_locked and cache_fresh_unlocked.
The extra call to cache_revisit_request in cache_fresh_unlocked is not
needed, as should have been fairly clear at the time of
   commit 4013edea9a

If there are requests to be revisited, then we can be sure that
CACHE_PENDING is set, so the second call is sufficient.

So remove the first call.
Then remove the 'new' parameter,
then remove the return value for cache_fresh_locked which is only used
to provide the value for 'new'.

9e4c6379a6 sunrpc/cache: change cache_defer_req to return -ve error, not boolean.
As "cache_defer_req" does not sound like a predicate, having it return
a boolean value can be confusing.  It is more consistent to return
0 for success and negative for error.

Exactly what error code to return is not important as we don't
differentiate between reasons why the request wasn't deferred,
we only care about whether it was deferred or not.

bc74b4f5e6 SUNRPC: Allow the cache_detail to specify alternative upcall mechanisms
For events that are rare, such as referral DNS lookups, it makes limited
sense to have a daemon constantly listening for upcalls on a channel. An
alternative in those cases might simply be to run the app that fills the

The following patch allows the cache_detail to specify alternative upcall
mechanisms for these particular cases.

da77005f0d SUNRPC: Remove the global temporary write buffer in net/sunrpc/cache.c
While we do want to protect against multiple concurrent readers and writers
on each upcall/downcall pipe, we don't want to limit concurrent reading and
writing to separate caches.

This patch therefore replaces the static buffer 'write_buf', which can only
be used by one writer at a time, with use of the page cache as the
temporary buffer for downcalls. We still fall back to using the the old
global buffer if the downcall is larger than PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, since this is
apparently needed by the SPKM security context initialisation.

It then replaces the use of the global 'queue_io_mutex' with the
inode->i_mutex in cache_read() and cache_write().

5c4d263903 sunrpc/cache: make sure deferred requests eventually get revisited.
While deferred requests normally get revisited quite quickly,
it is possible for a request to remain in the deferral queue
when the cache item is discarded.  We can easily make sure that
doesn't happen by calling cache_revisit_request just before
the final 'put'.

Also there is a small chance that a race would cause one thread to
defer a request against a cache item while another thread is failing
to queue an upcall for that item.  So when the upcall fails, make
sure to revisit all deferred requests.

99b7623380 proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.

We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.

But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.

->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.

rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.

Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.

So, let's nuke it.

Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

46121cf7d8 SUNRPC: fix print format for tk_pid
The tk_pid field is an unsigned short.  The proper print format specifier for
that type is %5u, not %4d.

Also clean up some miscellaneous print formatting nits.

01f3bd1f03 [PATCH] knfsd: svcrpc: remove another silent drop from deferral code
There's no point deferring something just to immediately fail the deferral,
especially now that we can do something more useful in the failure case by
returning an error.

e0bb89ef03 [PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: don't drop silently on upcall deferral
To avoid tying up server threads when nfsd makes an upcall (to mountd, to get
export options, to idmapd, for nfsv4 name<->id mapping, etc.), we temporarily
"drop" the request and save enough information so that we can revisit it
later.

Certain failures during the deferral process can cause us to really drop the
request and never revisit it.

This is often less than ideal, and is unacceptable in the NFSv4 case--rfc 3530
forbids the server from dropping a request without also closing the
connection.

As a first step, we modify the deferral code to return -ETIMEDOUT (which is
translated to nfserr_jukebox in the v3 and v4 cases, and remains a drop in the
v2 case).
