* nfs: initialize the backing_dev_info when creating the serverJens Axboe2009-09-211-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | NFS may free the server structure without ever having used the bdi, so we either need to flag the bdi as being uninitialized or initialize it up front. This does the latter. This fixes a crash with mounting more than one NFS file system, should people ever need that kind of obscure NFS functionality.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The meaning of not specifying the "port=" mount option is different for "-t nfs" and "-t nfs4" mounts. The default port value for NFSv2/v3 mounts is 0, but the default for NFSv4 mounts is 2049. To support "-t nfs -o vers=4", the mount option parser must detect when "port=" is missing so that the correct default port value can be set depending on which NFS version is requested.

| * NFS: out of date comment regarding O_EXCL above nfs3_proc_create()Harshula Jayasuriya2009-09-081-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hi Trond, Recently we were observing the behaviour difference between a 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernel with respect to O_EXCL. A comment from 2.4.x era, "For now, we don't implement O_EXCL." seems inaccurate in TOT. If so, here's a patch to remove the comment.

| * NFS: Handle a zero-length auth flavor listChuck Lever2009-08-231-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some releases of Linux rpc.mountd (nfs-utils 1.1.4 and later) return an empty auth flavor list if no sec= was specified for the export. This is notably broken server behavior. The new auth flavor list checking added in a recent commit rejects this case. The OpenSolaris client does too. The broken mountd implementation is already widely deployed. To avoid a behavioral regression, the kernel's mount client skips flavor checking (ie reverts to the pre-2.6.32 behavior) if mountd returns an empty flavor list.

The universal address functions will be used to encode and decode RPCB_FOO and NFSv4 SETCLIENTID arguments. The other functions are part of a previous promise to deliver shared functions that can be used by upper-layer protocols to display and manipulate IP addresses. The kernel's current address printf formatters were designed specifically for kernel to user-space APIs that require a particular string format for socket addresses, thus are somewhat limited for the purposes of sunrpc.ko. The formatter for IPv6 addresses, %pI6, does not support short-handing or scope IDs. Also, these printf formatters are unique per address family, so a separate formatter string is required for printing AF_INET and AF_INET6 addresses.

The NFS client can now use this list to determine whether the authentication flavor requested by the user is actually supported by the server. Note we don't actually negotiate the security flavor if none was specified by the user. Instead, we try to use AUTH_SYS, and fail if the server does not support it. This prevents us from negotiating an inappropriate security flavor (some servers list AUTH_NULL first). If the server does not support AUTH_SYS, the user must provide an appropriate security flavor by specifying the "sec=" mount option.

At some earlier point (maybe even before the option parsers were merged?) specific checks for auth_flavor_len being zero were removed from the functions that validate the mount option that sets the mount point's authentication flavor. Since we are populating an array for authentication flavors, the auth_flavor_len should always be set to the number of flavors. Let's eliminate some cleverness here, and prepare for new logic that needs to know the number of flavors in the auth_flavors[] array. (auth_flavors[] is an array because at some point we want to allow a list of acceptable authentication flavors to be specified via the sec= mount option. For now it remains a single element array).

While no-one should rely on the accuracy of the server's mount table, sending a UMNT is simply being a good internet neighbor. Since NFS mount processing is handled in the kernel now, we will need a function in the kernel's mountd client that can post a MOUNTRPC_UMNT request, in order to handle these failure modes.

I have a proposal for possibly resolving this issue. I believe that this situation occurs due to the way that the Linux NFS client handles writes which modify partial pages. The Linux NFS client handles partial page modifications by allocating a page from the page cache, copying the data from the user level into the page, and then keeping track of the offset and length of the modified portions of the page. The page is not marked as up to date because there are portions of the page which do not contain valid file contents. When a read call comes in for a portion of the page, the contents of the page must be read in the from the server. However, since the page may already contain some modified data, that modified data must be written to the server before the file contents can be read back in the from server. And, since the writing and reading can not be done atomically, the data must be written and committed to stable storage on the server for safety purposes. This means either a FILE_SYNC WRITE or a UNSTABLE WRITE followed by a COMMIT. This has been discussed at length previously. This algorithm could be described as modify-write-read. It is most efficient when the application only updates pages and does not read them. My proposed solution is to add a heuristic to decide whether to do this modify-write-read algorithm or switch to a read- modify-write algorithm when initially allocating the page in the write system call path. The heuristic uses the modes that the file was opened with, the offset in the page to read from, and the size of the region to read. If the file was opened for reading in addition to writing and the page would not be filled completely with data from the user level, then read in the old contents of the page and mark it as Uptodate before copying in the new data. If the page would be completely filled with data from the user level, then there would be no reason to read in the old contents because they would just be copied over. This would optimize for applications which randomly access and update portions of files. The linkage editor for the C compiler is an example of such a thing. I tested the attached patch by using rpmbuild to build the current Fedora rawhide kernel. The kernel without the patch generated about 269,500 WRITE requests. The modified kernel containing the patch generated about 261,000 WRITE requests. Thus, about 8,500 fewer WRITE requests were generated. I suspect that many of these additional WRITE requests were probably FILE_SYNC requests to WRITE a single page, but I didn't test this theory. The difference between this patch and the previous one was to remove the unneeded PageDirty() test. I then retested to ensure that the resulting system continued to behave as desired.
