4bf259e3ae nfs: remove unnecessary NFS_INO_INVALID_ACL checks
Unless I'm mistaken, NFS_INO_INVALID_ACL is being checked twice during
getacl calls (i.e. first via nfs_revalidate_inode() and then by each all
site).

a5a16bae70 NFS: More "sloppy" parsing problems
Specifying "port=-5" with the kernel's current mount option parser
generates "unrecognized mount option".  If "sloppy" is set, this
causes the mount to succeed and use the default values; the desired
behavior is that, since this is a valid option with an invalid value,
the mount should fail, even with "sloppy."

To properly handle "sloppy" parsing, we need to distinguish between
correct options with invalid values, and incorrect options.  We will
need to parse integer values by hand, therefore, and not rely on
match_token().

For instance, these must all fail with "invalid value":

	port=12345678
	port=-5
	port=samuel

and not with "unrecognized option," as they do currently.

Thus, for the sake of match_token() we need to treat the values for
these options as strings, and do the conversion to integers using
strict_strtol().

This is basically the same solution we used for the earlier "retry="
fix (commit ecbb3845), except in this case the kernel actually has to
parse the value, rather than ignore it.

d23c45fd84 NFS: Invalid mount option values should always fail, even with "sloppy"
Ian Kent reports:

"I've noticed a couple of other regressions with the options vers
and proto option of mount.nfs(8).

The commands:

mount -t nfs -o vers=<invalid version> <server>:/<path> /<mountpoint>
mount -t nfs -o proto=<invalid proto> <server>:/<path> /<mountpoint>

both immediately fail.

But if the "-s" option is also used they both succeed with the
mount falling back to defaults (by the look of it).

In the past these failed even when the sloppy option was given, as
I think they should. I believe the sloppy option is meant to allow
the mount command to still function for mount options (for example
in shared autofs maps) that exist on other Unix implementations but
aren't present in the Linux mount.nfs(8). So, an invalid value
specified for a known mount option is different to an unknown mount
option and should fail appropriately."

See RH bugzilla 486266.

8e02f6b9aa NFS: Update MNT and MNT3 reply decoding functions
Solder xdr_stream-based XDR decoding functions into the in-kernel mountd
client that are more careful about checking data types and watching for
buffer overflows.  The new MNT3 decoder includes support for auth-flavor

The "_sz" macro for MNT3 replies was missing the size of the file handle.
I've added this back, and included the size of the auth flavor array.

a14017db28 NFS: add XDR decoder for mountd version 3 auth-flavor lists
Introduce an xdr_stream-based XDR decoder that can unpack the auth-
flavor list returned in a MNT3 reply.

The nfs_mount() function's caller allocates an array, and passes the
size and a pointer to it.  The decoder decodes all the flavors it can
into the array, and returns the number of decoded flavors.

If the caller is not interested in the auth flavors, it can pass a
value of zero as the size of the pre-allocated array.

fb12529577 NFS: Add separate mountd status code decoders for each mountd version
Introduce data structures and xdr_stream-based decoding functions for
unmarshalling mountd status codes properly.

Mountd version 3 uses specific standard error return codes that are
not errno values and not NFS3ERR_ values.  These have a well-defined
standard mapping to local errno values.  Introduce data structures
and a decoder function that map these status codes to local errno
values properly.  This is new functionality (but not used yet).

Version 1 mountd status values are defined by RFC 1094 as UNIX error
values (errno values).  Errno values on heterogeneous systems do not
necessarily match each other.  To avoid exposing possibly incorrect
errno values to upper layers, the current XDR decoder converts all
non-zero MNT version 1 status codes to -EACCES.

The OpenGroup XNFS standard provides a mapping similar to but smaller
than the version 3 error codes.  Implement a decoder that uses the XNFS
error codes, replacing the current decoder.

For both mountd protocol versions, map unrecognized errors to -EACCES.

Finally we introduce a replacement data structure for mnt_fhstatus
at this time, which is used by the new XDR decoders.  In addition to
documenting that the status value returned by the XDR decoders is
always an errno, this new structure will be expanded in subsequent
patches.

6c9dc42551 lockd: Update NSM state from SM_MON replies
When rpc.statd starts up in user space at boot time, it attempts to
write the latest NSM local state number into
/proc/sys/fs/nfs/nsm_local_state.

If lockd.ko isn't loaded yet (as is the case in most configurations),
that file doesn't exist, thus the kernel's NSM state remains set to
its initial value of zero during lockd operation.

This is a problem because rpc.statd and lockd use the NSM state number
to prevent repeated lock recovery on rebooted hosts.  If lockd sends
a zero NSM state, but then a delayed SM_NOTIFY with a real NSM state
number is received, there is no way for lockd or rpc.statd to
distinguish that stale SM_NOTIFY from an actual reboot.  Thus lock
recovery could be performed after the rebooted host has already
started reclaiming locks, and those locks will be lost.

We could change /etc/init.d/nfslock so it always modprobes lockd.ko
before starting rpc.statd.  However, if lockd.ko is ever unloaded
and reloaded, we are back at square one, since the NSM state is not
preserved across an unload/reload cycle.  This may happen frequently
on clients that use automounter.  A period of NFS inactivity causes
lockd.ko to be unloaded, and the kernel loses its NSM state setting.

Instead, let's use the fact that rpc.statd plants the local system's
NSM state in every SM_MON (and SM_UNMON) reply.  lockd performs a
synchronous SM_MON upcall to the local rpc.statd _before_ sending its
first NLM request to a new remote.  This would permit rpc.statd to
provide the current NSM state to lockd, even after lockd.ko had been
unloaded and reloaded.

Note that NLMPROC_LOCK arguments are constructed before the
nsm_monitor() call, so we have to rearrange argument construction very
slightly to make this all work out.

And, the kernel appears to treat NSM state as a u32 (see struct
nlm_args and nsm_res).  Make nsm_local_state a u32 as well, to ensure
we don't get bogus comparison results.

bf40d3435c NFS: add support for splice writes
Adds support for splice writes. It effectively calls
generic_file_splice_write() to do the writes.

We need not worry about O_APPEND case as the combination of splice()
writes and O_APPEND is disallowed. This patch propagates NFS write
errors back to the caller. The number of bytes written via splice are
being added to NFSIO_NORMALWRITTENBYTES as these are effectively
cached writes.

965b5d6791 NFSv4: Handle more errors when recovering open file and locking state
It is possible for servers to return NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID when
the state management code is recovering locks or is reclaiming state when
returning a delegation. Ensure that we handle that case.
While we're at it, add in handlers for NFS4ERR_STALE,
NFS4ERR_ADMIN_REVOKED, NFS4ERR_OPENMODE, NFS4ERR_DENIED and
NFS4ERR_STALE_STATEID, since the protocol appears to allow for them too.

Also handle ENOMEM...

Finally, rather than add new NFSv4.0-specific errors and error handling into
the generic delegation code, move that open file and locking state error
handling into the NFSv4 layer.

210ad6aedb ext4: avoid unnecessary spinlock in critical POSIX ACL path
If a filesystem supports POSIX ACL's, the VFS layer expects the filesystem
to do POSIX ACL checks on any files not owned by the caller, and it does
this for every single pathname component that it looks up.

That obviously can be pretty expensive if the filesystem isn't careful
about it, especially with locking. That's doubly sad, since the common
case tends to be that there are no ACL's associated with the files in
question.

ext4 already caches the ACL data so that it doesn't have to look it up
over and over again, but it does so by taking the inode->i_lock spinlock
on every lookup. Which is a noticeable overhead even if it's a private
lock, especially on CPU's where the serialization is expensive (eg Intel
Netburst aka 'P4').

For the special case of not actually having any ACL's, all that locking is
unnecessary. Even if somebody else were to be changing the ACL's on
another CPU, we simply don't care - if we've seen a NULL ACL, we might as
well use it.

So just load the ACL speculatively without any locking, and if it was
NULL, just use it. If it's non-NULL (either because we had a cached
entry, or because the cache hasn't been filled in at all), it means that
we'll need to get the lock and re-load it properly.

ext3.)

where you can see what appears to be a roughly 3% improvement in stat
and open/close latencies from just the removal of the locking overhead.

Of course, this only matters for files you don't own (the owner never
needs to do the ACL checks), but that's the common case for libraries,
header files, and executables. As well as for the base components of any
absolute pathname, even if you are the owner of the final file.

[ At some point we probably want to move this ACL caching logic entirely
  into the VFS layer (and only call down to the filesystem when
  uncached), but in the meantime this improves ext3 a bit.

  A similar fix to btrfs makes a much bigger difference (15x improvement
  in lmbench) due to broken caching. ]

005411c3e9 AFS: Correctly translate auth error aborts and don't failover in such cases
Authentication error abort codes should be translated to appropriate
Linux error codes, rather than all being translated to EREMOTEIO - which
indicates that the server had internal problems.

Additionally, a server shouldn't be marked unavailable and the next
server tried if an authentication error occurs.  This will quickly make
all the servers unavailable to the client.  Instead the error should be
returned straight to the user.

8b0b1db013 remove put_cpu_no_resched()
put_cpu_no_resched() is an optimization of put_cpu() which unfortunately
can cause high latencies.

The nfs iostats code uses put_cpu_no_resched() in a code sequence where a
reschedule request caused by an interrupt between the get_cpu() and the
put_cpu_no_resched() can delay the reschedule for at least HZ.

The other users of put_cpu_no_resched() optimize correctly in interrupt
code, but there is no real harm in using the put_cpu() function which is
an alias for preempt_enable().  The extra check of the preemmpt count is
not as critical as the potential source of missing a reschedule.

Debugged in the preempt-rt tree and verified in mainline.

Impact: remove a high latency source

4938d7e023 poll: avoid extra wakeups in select/poll
After introduction of keyed wakeups Davide Libenzi did on epoll, we are
able to avoid spurious wakeups in poll()/select() code too.

For example, typical use of poll()/select() is to wait for incoming
network frames on many sockets.  But TX completion for UDP/TCP frames call
sock_wfree() which in turn schedules thread.

When scheduled, thread does a full scan of all polled fds and can sleep
again, because nothing is really available.  If number of fds is large,
this cause significant load.

This patch makes select()/poll() aware of keyed wakeups and useless
wakeups are avoided.  This reduces number of context switches by about 50%
on some setups, and work performed by sofirq handlers.

84a8924560 writeback: skip new or to-be-freed inodes
1) I_FREEING tests should be coupled with I_CLEAR

The two I_FREEING tests are racy because clear_inode() can set i_state to
I_CLEAR between the clear of I_SYNC and the test of I_FREEING.

2) skip I_WILL_FREE inodes in generic_sync_sb_inodes() to avoid possible
   races with generic_forget_inode()

generic_forget_inode() sets I_WILL_FREE call writeback on its own, so
generic_sync_sb_inodes() shall not try to step in and create possible races:

  generic_forget_inode
    inode->i_state |= I_WILL_FREE;
    spin_unlock(&inode_lock);
                                       generic_sync_sb_inodes()
                                         spin_lock(&inode_lock);
                                         __iget(inode);
                                         __writeback_single_inode
                                           // see non zero i_count
 may WARN here ==>                         WARN_ON(inode->i_state & I_WILL_FREE);
                                         spin_unlock(&inode_lock);
 may call generic_forget_inode again ==> iput(inode);

The above race and warning didn't turn up because writeback_inodes() holds
the s_umount lock, so generic_forget_inode() finds MS_ACTIVE and returns
early.  But we are not sure the UBIFS calls and future callers will
guarantee that.  So skip I_WILL_FREE inodes for the sake of safety.

2ff05b2b4e oom: move oom_adj value from task_struct to mm_struct
The per-task oom_adj value is a characteristic of its mm more than the
task itself since it's not possible to oom kill any thread that shares the
mm.  If a task were to be killed while attached to an mm that could not be
freed because another thread were set to OOM_DISABLE, it would have
needlessly been terminated since there is no potential for future memory
freeing.

This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from
struct task_struct to struct mm_struct.  This requires task_lock() on a
task to check its oom_adj value to protect against exec, but it's already
necessary to take the lock when dereferencing the mm to find the total VM
size for the badness heuristic.

This fixes a livelock if the oom killer chooses a task and another thread
sharing the same memory has an oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE.  This occurs
because oom_kill_task() repeatedly returns 1 and refuses to kill the
chosen task while select_bad_process() will repeatedly choose the same
task during the next retry.

Taking task_lock() in select_bad_process() to check for OOM_DISABLE and in
oom_kill_task() to check for threads sharing the same memory will be
removed in the next patch in this series where it will no longer be
necessary.

Writing to /proc/pid/oom_adj for a kthread will now return -EINVAL since
these threads are immune from oom killing already.  They simply report an
oom_adj value of OOM_DISABLE.
