92e1d5be91 [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 2
Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

ef75c7974b NFS: Also use readdir info to revalidate positive dentries
If the fileid of the cached dentry fails to match that returned by
the readdir call, then we should also d_drop. Try to take into account the

ccfeb50623 NFS: Fix up "rm -rf"...
When a file is being scheduled for deletion by means of the sillyrename
mechanism, it makes sense to start out writeback of the dirty data as
soon as possible in order to ensure that the delete can occur. Examples of
cases where this is an issue include "rm -rf", which will busy-wait until
the file is closed, and the sillyrename completes.

9a53c3a783 [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: unlink: monitor i_nlink

performed in order to drop the inode from the filesystem.

We're shortly going to have keep filesystems from being remounted r/o between

So, add a little helper function to do the decrements.  We'll tie into it in a

fd6840714d NFS: nfs_lookup - don't hash dentry when optimising away the lookup
If the open intents tell us that a given lookup is going to result in a,
exclusive create, we currently optimize away the lookup call itself. The
reason is that the lookup would not be atomic with the create RPC call, so
why do it in the first place?

A problem occurs, however, if the VFS aborts the exclusive create operation
after the lookup, but before the call to create the file/directory: in this
case we will end up with a hashed negative dentry in the dcache that has
never been looked up.
Fix this by only actually hashing the dentry once the create operation has
been successfully completed.

4f390c152b NFS: Fix double d_drop in nfs_instantiate() error path
If the LOOKUP or GETATTR in nfs_instantiate fail, nfs_instantiate will do a
d_drop before returning.  But some callers already do a d_drop in the case
of an error return.  Make certain we do only one d_drop in all error paths.

This issue was introduced because over time, the symlink proc API diverged
slightly from the create/mkdir/mknod proc API.  To prevent other coding
mistakes of this type, change the symlink proc API to be more like
create/mkdir/mknod and move the nfs_instantiate call into the symlink proc
routines so it is used in exactly the same way for create, mkdir, mknod,
and symlink.

d3db90e270 NFS: remove a no-longer-needed error check in nfs_symlink()
In the early days of NFS, there was no duplicate reply cache on the server.
Thus retransmitted non-idempotent requests often found that the request had
already completed on the server.  To avoid passing an unanticipated return
code to unsuspecting applications, NFS clients would often shunt error
codes that implied the request had been retried but already completed.

Thanks to NFS over TCP, duplicate reply caches on the server, and network
performance and reliability improvements, it is safe to remove such checks.

Test plan:
None.

54ceac4515 NFS: Share NFS superblocks per-protocol per-server per-FSID
The attached patch makes NFS share superblocks between mounts from the same
server and FSID over the same protocol.

It does this by creating each superblock with a false root and returning the
real root dentry in the vfsmount presented by get_sb(). The root dentry set
starts off as an anonymous dentry if we don't already have the dentry for its
inode, otherwise it simply returns the dentry we already have.

We may thus end up with several trees of dentries in the superblock, and if at
some later point one of anonymous tree roots is discovered by normal filesystem
activity to be located in another tree within the superblock, the anonymous
root is named and materialises attached to the second tree at the appropriate
point.

Why do it this way? Why not pass an extra argument to the mount() syscall to
indicate the subpath and then pathwalk from the server root to the desired
directory? You can't guarantee this will work for two reasons:

 (1) The root and intervening nodes may not be accessible to the client.

     With NFS2 and NFS3, for instance, mountd is called on the server to get
     the filehandle for the tip of a path. mountd won't give us handles for
     anything we don't have permission to access, and so we can't set up NFS
     inodes for such nodes, and so can't easily set up dentries (we'd have to
     have ghost inodes or something).

     With this patch we don't actually create dentries until we get handles
     from the server that we can use to set up their inodes, and we don't
     actually bind them into the tree until we know for sure where they go.

 (2) Inaccessible symbolic links.

     If we're asked to mount two exports from the server, eg:

	mount warthog:/warthog/aaa/xxx /mmm
	mount warthog:/warthog/bbb/yyy /nnn

     We may not be able to access anything nearer the root than xxx and yyy,
     but we may find out later that /mmm/www/yyy, say, is actually the same
     directory as the one mounted on /nnn. What we might then find out, for
     example, is that /warthog/bbb was actually a symbolic link to
     /warthog/aaa/xxx/www, but we can't actually determine that by talking to
     the server until /warthog is made available by NFS.

     This would lead to having constructed an errneous dentry tree which we
     can't easily fix. We can end up with a dentry marked as a directory when
     it should actually be a symlink, or we could end up with an apparently
     hardlinked directory.

     With this patch we need not make assumptions about the type of a dentry
     for which we can't retrieve information, nor need we assume we know its
     place in the grand scheme of things until we actually see that place.

This patch reduces the possibility of aliasing in the inode and page caches for
inodes that may be accessed by more than one NFS export. It also reduces the
number of superblocks required for NFS where there are many NFS exports being
used from a server (home directory server + autofs for example).

This in turn makes it simpler to do local caching of network filesystems, as it
can then be guaranteed that there won't be links from multiple inodes in
separate superblocks to the same cache file.

Obviously, cache aliasing between different levels of NFS protocol could still
be a problem, but at least that gives us another key to use when indexing the
cache.

This patch makes the following changes:

 (1) The server record construction/destruction has been abstracted out into
     its own set of functions to make things easier to get right.  These have
     been moved into fs/nfs/client.c.

     All the code in fs/nfs/client.c has to do with the management of
     connections to servers, and doesn't touch superblocks in any way; the
     remaining code in fs/nfs/super.c has to do with VFS superblock management.

 (2) The sequence of events undertaken by NFS mount is now reordered:

     (a) A volume representation (struct nfs_server) is allocated.

     (b) A server representation (struct nfs_client) is acquired.  This may be
     	 allocated or shared, and is keyed on server address, port and NFS
     	 version.

     (c) If allocated, the client representation is initialised.  The state
     	 member variable of nfs_client is used to prevent a race during
     	 initialisation from two mounts.

     (d) For NFS4 a simple pathwalk is performed, walking from FH to FH to find
     	 the root filehandle for the mount (fs/nfs/getroot.c).  For NFS2/3 we
     	 are given the root FH in advance.

     (e) The volume FSID is probed for on the root FH.

     (f) The volume representation is initialised from the FSINFO record
     	 retrieved on the root FH.

     (g) sget() is called to acquire a superblock.  This may be allocated or
     	 shared, keyed on client pointer and FSID.

     (h) If allocated, the superblock is initialised.

     (i) If the superblock is shared, then the new nfs_server record is
     	 discarded.

     (j) The root dentry for this mount is looked up from the root FH.

     (k) The root dentry for this mount is assigned to the vfsmount.

 (3) nfs_readdir_lookup() creates dentries for each of the entries readdir()
     returns; this function now attaches disconnected trees from alternate
     roots that happen to be discovered attached to a directory being read (in
     the same way nfs_lookup() is made to do for lookup ops).

     The new d_materialise_unique() function is now used to do this, thus
     permitting the whole thing to be done under one set of locks, and thus
     avoiding any race between mount and lookup operations on the same
     directory.

 (4) The client management code uses a new debug facility: NFSDBG_CLIENT which
     is set by echoing 1024 to /proc/net/sunrpc/nfs_debug.

 (5) Clone mounts are now called xdev mounts.

 (6) Use the dentry passed to the statfs() op as the handle for retrieving fs
     statistics rather than the root dentry of the superblock (which is now a
     dummy).

34ea818846 NFSv4: Return any delegations before sillyrenaming the file
I missed this one... Any form of rename will result in a delegation
 recall, so it is more efficient to return the one we hold before
 trying the rename.

0c70b50150 NFS: nfs_lookup doesn't need to revalidate the parent directory's inode
nfs_lookup() used to consult a lookup cache before trying an actual wire
 lookup operation.  The lookup cache would be invalid, of course, if the
 parent directory's mtime had changed, so nfs_lookup performed an inode
 revalidation on the parent.

 Since nfs_lookup() doesn't use a cache anymore, the revalidation is no
 longer necessary.  There are cases where it will generate a lot of
 unnecessary GETATTR traffic.

 See http://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9

 Test-plan:
 Use lndir and "rm -rf" and watch for excess GETATTR traffic or application
 level errors.

6fe43f9e37 NFS: Fix rename of directory onto empty directory
If someone tries to rename a directory onto an empty directory, we
 currently fail and return EBUSY.
 This patch ensures that we try the rename if both source and target
 are directories, and that we fail with a correct error of EISDIR if
 the source is not a directory.

20509f1bc5 NFS: Drop inode after rename
When doing a rename on top of an existing file that is not in use,
 the inode of the overwritten file will remain in the icache.

 The fix is to decrement i_nlink of the overwritten inode, like we
 do for unlink, rmdir etc already.

 Problem diagnosed by Olaf Kirch. This patch is a slight variation
 on his fix.

dc59250c6e [PATCH] NFS: Introduce the use of inode->i_lock to protect fields in nfsi
Down the road we want to eliminate the use of the global kernel lock entirely
from the NFS client.  To do this, we need to protect the fields in the
nfs_inode structure adequately.  Start by serializing updates to the
"cache_validity" field.

Note this change addresses an SMP hang found by njw@osdl.org, where processes
deadlock because nfs_end_data_update and nfs_revalidate_mapping update the
"cache_validity" field without proper serialization.

Test plan:
 Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.  Run Nick Wilson's breaknfs program on
 large SMP clients.

412d582ec1 [PATCH] NFS: use atomic bitops to manipulate flags in nfsi->flags
Introduce atomic bitops to manipulate the bits in the nfs_inode structure's
"flags" field.

Using bitops means we can use a generic wait_on_bit call instead of an ad hoc
locking scheme in fs/nfs/inode.c, so we can remove the "nfs_i_wait" field from
nfs_inode at the same time.

The other new flags field will continue to use bitmask and logic AND and OR.
This permits several flags to be set at the same time efficiently.  The
following patch adds a spin lock to protect these flags, and this spin lock
will later cover other fields in the nfs_inode structure, amortizing the cost
of using this type of serialization.

Test plan:
 Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.
