Jeff Layton f97c650dda NLM: don't let lockd exit on unexpected svc_recv errors (try #2)
When svc_recv returns an unexpected error, lockd will print a warning
and exit. This problematic for several reasons. In particular, it will
cause the reference counts for the thread to be wrong, and can lead to a
potential BUG() call.

Rather than exiting on error from svc_recv, have the thread do a 1s
sleep and then retry the loop. This is unlikely to cause any harm, and
if the error turns out to be something temporary then it may be able to
recover.

Olga Kornievskaia ff7d9756b5 nfsd: use static memory for callback program and stats
There's no need to dynamically allocate this memory, and doing so may
create the possibility of races on shutdown of the rpc client.  (We've
witnessed it only after adding rpcsec_gss support to the server, after
which the rpc code can send destroys calls that expect to still be able
to access the rpc_stats structure after it has been destroyed.)

Such races are in theory possible if the module containing this "static"
memory is removed very quickly after an rpc client is destroyed, but
we haven't seen that happen.

Kevin Coffman 4ab4b0bedd sunrpc: make token header values less confusing
g_make_token_header() and g_token_size() add two too many, and
therefore their callers pass in "(logical_value - 2)" rather
than "logical_value" as hard-coded values which causes confusion.

This dates back to the original g_make_token_header which took an
optional token type (token_id) value and added it to the token.
This was removed, but the routine always adds room for the token_id
rather than not.

Chuck Lever 1a448fdb3c NFSD: Remove NFSv4 dependency on NFSv3
Clean up: Because NFSD_V4 "depends on" NFSD_V3, it appears as a child of
the NFSD_V3 menu entry, and is not visible if NFSD_V3 is unselected.

Replace the dependency on NFSD_V3 with a "select NFSD_V3".  This makes
NFSD_V4 look and work just like NFS_V3, while ensuring that NFSD_V3 is
enabled if NFSD_V4 is.

Sam Ravnborg adds:

"This use of select is questionable. In general it is bad to select
a symbol with dependencies.

In this case the dependencies of NFSD_V3 are duplicated for NFSD_V4
so we will not se erratic configurations but do you remember to
update NFSD_V4 when you add a depends on NFSD_V3?

But I see no other clean way to do it right now."

Later he said:

"My comment was more to say we have things to address in kconfig.
This is abuse in the acceptable range."

Chuck Lever 3329ba0523 SUNRPC: Remove PROC_FS dependency
Recently, commit 440bcc59 added a reverse dependency to fs/Kconfig to
ensure that PROC_FS was enabled if SUNRPC_GSS was enabled.

Apparently this isn't necessary because the auth_gss components under
net/sunrpc will build correctly even if PROC_FS is disabled, though
RPCSEC_GSS will not work without /proc.

It also violates the guideline in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt
that states "In general use select only for non-visible symbols (no prompts
anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies."

To address these issues, remove the dependency.

Chuck Lever 6ffd4be633 NFSD: Use "depends on" for PROC_FS dependency
Recently, commit 440bcc59 added a reverse dependency to fs/Kconfig to

There is a guideline in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt that
states "In general use select only for non-visible symbols (no prompts
anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies."

A quick grep around other Kconfig files reveals that no entry currently
uses "select PROC_FS" -- every one uses "depends on".  Thus CONFIG_NFSD_V4
should use "depends on PROC_FS" as well.

Felix Blyakher 9167f501c6 nfsd: initialize lease type in nfs4_open_delegation()
While lease is correctly checked by supplying the type argument to
vfs_setlease(), it's stored with fl_type uninitialized. This breaks the
logic when checking the type of the lease.  The fix is to initialize
fl_type.

The old code still happened to function correctly since F_RDLCK is zero,
and we only implement read delegations currently (nor write
delegations).  But that's no excuse for not fixing this.

Jeff Layton a277e33cbe NFS: convert nfs4 callback thread to kthread API
There's a general push to convert kernel threads to use the (much
cleaner) kthread API. This patch converts the NFSv4 callback kernel
thread to the kthread API. In addition to being generally cleaner this
also removes the dependency on signals when shutting down the thread.

Note that this patch depends on the recent patches to svc_recv() to
make it check kthread_should_stop() periodically. Those patches are
in Bruce's tree at the moment and are slated for 2.6.26 along with
the lockd conversion, so this conversion is probably also appropriate
for 2.6.26.

Jeff Layton 7b54fe61ff SUNRPC: allow svc_recv to break out of 500ms sleep when alloc_page fails
svc_recv() calls alloc_page(), and if it fails it does a 500ms
uninterruptible sleep and then reattempts. There doesn't seem to be any
real reason for this to be uninterruptible, so change it to an
interruptible sleep. Also check for kthread_stop() and signalled() after
setting the task state to avoid races that might lead to sleeping after
kthread_stop() wakes up the task.

I've done some very basic smoke testing with this, but obviously it's
hard to test the actual changes since this all depends on an
alloc_page() call failing.

lockd_down now blocks until lockd actually exits, so there's no longer
need for the waitqueue code at the end of lockd_down. This also means
that only one lockd can be running at a time which simplifies the code
within lockd's main loop.

This also adds a check for kthread_should_stop in the main loop of
nlmsvc_retry_blocked and after that function returns. There's no sense
continuing to retry blocks if lockd is coming down anyway.

Jeff Layton 7086721f9c SUNRPC: have svc_recv() check kthread_should_stop()
When using kthreads that call into svc_recv, we want to make sure that
they do not block there for a long time when we're trying to take down
the kthread.

This patch changes svc_recv() to check kthread_should_stop() at the same
places that it checks to see if it's signalled(). Also check just before
svc_recv() tries to schedule(). By making sure that we check it just
after setting the task state we can avoid having to use any locking or
signalling to ensure it doesn't block for a long time.

There's still a chance of a 500ms sleep if alloc_page() fails, but
that should be a rare occurrence and isn't a terribly long time in
the context of a kthread being taken down.

Jeff Layton 23d42ee278 SUNRPC: export svc_sock_update_bufs
Needed since the plan is to not have a svc_create_thread helper and to
have current users of that function just call kthread_run directly.

NeilBrown 1447d25eb3 knfsd: Remove NLM_HOST_MAX and associated logic.
Lockd caches information about hosts that have recently held locks to
expedite the taking of further locks.

It periodically discards this information for hosts that have not been
used for a few minutes.

lockd currently has a value NLM_HOST_MAX, and changes the 'garbage
collection' behaviour when the number of hosts exceeds this threshold.

However its behaviour is strange, and likely not what was intended.
When the number of hosts exceeds the max, it scans *less* often (every
2 minutes vs every minute) and allows unused host information to
remain around longer (5 minutes instead of 2).

Having this limit is of dubious value anyway, and we have not
suffered from the code not getting the limit right, so remove the
limit altogether.  We go with the larger values (discard 5 minute old
hosts every 2 minutes) as they are probably safer.

Maybe the periodic garbage collection should be replace to with
'shrinker' handler so we just respond to memory pressure....
