72cb77f4a5 NFS: Throttle page dirtying while we're flushing to disk
The following patch is a combination of a patch by myself and Peter
Staubach.

Trond: If we allow other processes to dirty pages while a process is doing
a consistency sync to disk, we can end up never making progress.

Peter: Attached is a patch which addresses a continuing problem with
the NFS client generating out of order WRITE requests.  While
this is compliant with all of the current protocol
specifications, there are servers in the market which can not
handle out of order WRITE requests very well.  Also, this may
lead to sub-optimal block allocations in the underlying file
system on the server.  This may cause the read throughputs to
be reduced when reading the file from the server.

Peter: There has been a lot of work recently done to address out of
order issues on a systemic level.  However, the NFS client is
still susceptible to the problem.  Out of order WRITE
requests can occur when pdflush is in the middle of writing
out pages while the process dirtying the pages calls
generic_file_buffered_write which calls
generic_perform_write which calls
balance_dirty_pages_rate_limited which ends up calling
writeback_inodes which ends up calling back into the NFS
client to writes out dirty pages for the same file that
pdflush happens to be working with.

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.

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

011935a0a7 NFS: Fix a resolution problem with nfs_inode->cache_change_attribute
The cache_change_attribute is used to decide whether or not a directory has
changed, in which case we may need to look it up again. Again, the use of
'jiffies' leads to an issue of resolution.

Once again, the fix is to change nfs_inode->cache_change_attribute, and
just make it a simple counter.

4704f0e274 NFS: Fix the resolution problem with nfs_inode_attrs_need_update()
It appears that 'jiffies' timestamps do not have high enough resolution for
nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(). One problem is that a GETATTR can be
launched within < 1 jiffy of the last operation that updated the attribute.
Another problem is that RPC calls can take < 1 jiffy to execute.

We can fix this by switching the variables to use a simple global counter
that gets incremented every time we start another GETATTR call.

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.

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().

a10ad17630 NFS: Fix the NFS attribute update
Currently nfs_refresh_inode() will only update the inode metadata if it
sees that the RPC call that returned the nfs_fattr was started
after the last update of the inode. This means that if we have parallel
RPC calls to the same inode (when sending WRITE calls, for instance), we
may often miss updates.

This patch attempts to recover those missed updates by also accepting
them if the ctime in the nfs_fattr is more recent than the inode's
cached ctime.
It also recovers the case where the file size has increased, but the
ctime has not been updated due to limited ctime resolution.

b0b539739f NFS: Ensure that 'noac' and/or 'actimeo=0' turn off attribute caching
Both the 'noac' and 'actimeo=0' mount options should ensure that attributes
are not cached, however a bug in nfs_attribute_timeout() means that
currently, the attributes may in fact get cached for up to one jiffy. This
has been seen to cause corruption in some applications.

The reason for the bug is that the time_in_range() test returns 'true' as
long as the current time lies between nfsi->read_cache_jiffies and
nfsi->read_cache_jiffies + nfsi->attrtimeo. In other words, if jiffies
equals nfsi->read_cache_jiffies, then we still cache the attribute data.

98a8e32394 SUNRPC: Add a helper rpcauth_lookup_generic_cred()
The NFSv4 protocol allows clients to negotiate security protocols on the
fly in the case where an administrator on the server changes the export
settings and/or in the case where we may have a filesystem migration event.

Instead of having the NFS client code cache credentials that are tied to a
particular AUTH method it is therefore preferable to have a generic credential
that can be converted into whatever AUTH is in use by the RPC client when
the read/write/sillyrename/... is put on the wire.

We do this by means of the new "generic" credential, which basically just
caches the minimal information that is needed to look up an RPCSEC_GSS,
AUTH_SYS, or AUTH_NULL credential.

28c494c5c8 NFS: Prevent nfs_getattr() hang during heavy write workloads
POSIX requires that ctime and mtime, as reported by the stat(2) call,
reflect the activity of the most recent write(2).  To that end, nfs_getattr()
flushes pending dirty writes to a file before doing a GETATTR to allow the
NFS server to set the file's size, ctime, and mtime properly.

However, nfs_getattr() can be starved when a constant stream of application
writes to a file prevents nfs_wb_nocommit() from completing.  This usually
results in hangs of programs doing a stat against an NFS file that is being
written.  "ls -l" is a common victim of this behavior.

To prevent starvation, hold the file's i_mutex in nfs_getattr() to
freeze applications writes temporarily so the client can more quickly obtain
clean values for a file's size, mtime, and ctime.

a49c3c7736 NFSv4: Ensure that we wait for the CLOSE request to complete
Otherwise, we do end up breaking close-to-open semantics. We also end up
breaking some of the silly-rename tests in Connectathon on some setups.

Please refer to the bug-report at
	http://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150

565277f63c NFS: Fix a race in sillyrename
lookup() and sillyrename() can race one another because the sillyrename()
completion cannot take the parent directory's inode->i_mutex since the
latter may be held by whoever is calling dput().

We therefore have little option but to add extra locking to ensure that
nfs_lookup() and nfs_atomic_open() do not race with the sillyrename
completion.
If somebody has looked up the sillyrenamed file in the meantime, we just
transfer the sillydelete information to the new dentry.

188b95dd8e NFS: if ATTR_KILL_S*ID bits are set, then skip mode change
If the ATTR_KILL_S*ID bits are set then any mode change is only for clearing
the setuid/setgid bits.  For NFS, skip the mode change and let the server
handle it.

4ba9b9d0ba Slab API: remove useless ctor parameter and reorder parameters
Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used.  And
the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions.  The object
pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.

Convert

        ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags)

to

        ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object)

throughout the kernel

f43bf0bebe NFS: Add a boot parameter to disable 64 bit inode numbers
This boot parameter will allow legacy 32-bit applications which call stat()
to continue to function even if the NFSv3/v4 server uses 64-bit inode
numbers.

2a3f5fd459 NFS: nfs_refresh_inode should clear cache_validity flags on success
If the cached attributes match the ones supplied in the fattr, then assume
we've revalidated the inode.

40d2470409 NFS: Fix a connectathon regression in NFSv3 and NFSv4
We're failing basic test6 against Linux servers because they lack a correct
change attribute. The fix is to assume that we always want to invalidate
the readdir caches when we call update_changeattr and/or
nfs_post_op_update_inode on a directory.
