Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry

have d_op but not the particular operation.

Clean up.
The pointer returned by ->decode_dirent() is no longer used as a
pointer. The only call site (xdr_decode() in fs/nfs/dir.c) simply
extracts the errno value encoded in the pointer. Replace the
returned pointer with a standard integer errno return value.
Also, pass the "server" argument as part of the nfs_entry instead of
as a separate parameter. It's faster to derive "server" in
nfs_readdir_xdr_to_array() since we already have the directory's inode
handy. "server" ought to be invariant for a set of entries in the
same directory, right?
The legacy versions of decode_dirent() don't use "server" anyway, so
it's wasted work for them to derive and pass "server" for each entry.

To obey NFS cache semantics, the client must verify the cached
attributes when a file is opened. In most cases this is done by a call to
d_validate as one of the last steps in path_walk.
However for the root of a filesystem, d_validate is only ever called
on the mounted-on filesystem (except when the path ends '.' or '..').
So NFS has no chance to validate the attributes.
So, in nfs_opendir, we revalidate the attributes if the opened
directory is the mountpoint. This may cause double-validation for "."
and ".." lookups, but that is better than missing regular /path/name
lookups completely.

We just had a case in which a buggy server occasionally returns the wrong
attributes during an OPEN call. While the client does catch this sort of
condition in nfs4_open_done(), and causes the nfs4_atomic_open() to return
-EISDIR, the logic in nfs_atomic_lookup() is broken, since it causes a
fallback to an ordinary lookup instead of just returning the error.
When the buggy server then returns a regular file for the fallback lookup,
the VFS allows the open, and bad things start to happen, since the open
file doesn't have any associated NFSv4 state.
The fix is firstly to return the EISDIR/ENOTDIR errors immediately, and
secondly to ensure that we are always careful when dereferencing the
nfs_open_context state pointer.

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=12557https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269954http://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.

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...
