When the client is reading or writing using pNFS, and hits an error
on the DS, then it typically sends a LAYOUTERROR and/or LAYOUTRETURN
to the MDS, before redirtying the failed pages, and going for a new
round of reads/writebacks. The problem is that if the server has no
way to fix the DS, then we may need a way to interrupt this loop
after a set number of attempts have been made.
This patch adds an optional module parameter that allows the admin
to specify how many times to retry the read/writeback process before
failing with a fatal error.
The default behaviour is to retry forever.

In ff_layout_mirror_valid() we may not want to invalidate the layout
segment despite the call to GETDEVICEINFO failing. The reason is that
a read may still be able to make progress on another mirror.
So instead we let the caller (in this case nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds())
decide whether or not it needs to invalidate.

While we may want to skip attempting to connect to a downed mirror

When a read to the preferred mirror returns an error, the flexfiles
driver records the error in the inode list and currently marks the
layout for return before failing over the attempted read to the next
mirror.
What we actually want to do is fire off a LAYOUTERROR to notify the
MDS that there is an issue with the preferred mirror, then we fail
over. Only once we've failed to read from all mirrors should we
return the layout.
Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>
If a layout segment gets invalidated while a pNFS I/O operation
is queued for transmission, then we ideally want to abort
immediately. This is particularly the case when there is a large
number of I/O related RPCs queued in the RPC layer, and the layout
segment gets invalidated due to an ENOSPC error, or an EACCES (because
the client was fenced). We may end up forced to spam the MDS with a
lot of otherwise unnecessary LAYOUTERRORs after that I/O fails.

If the attempt to instantiate the mirror's layout DS pointer failed,

SUNRPC has two sorts of credentials, both of which appear as
"struct rpc_cred".
There are "generic credentials" which are supplied by clients
such as NFS and passed in 'struct rpc_message' to indicate
which user should be used to authorize the request, and there
are low-level credentials such as AUTH_NULL, AUTH_UNIX, AUTH_GSS
which describe the credential to be sent over the wires.
This patch replaces all the generic credentials by 'struct cred'
pointers - the credential structure used throughout Linux.
For machine credentials, there is a special 'struct cred *' pointer
which is statically allocated and recognized where needed as
having a special meaning. A look-up of a low-level cred will
map this to a machine credential.

Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@Netapp.com>
The SUNRPC credential framework was put together before
Linux has 'struct cred'. Now that we have it, it makes sense to
use it.
This first step just includes a suitable 'struct cred *' pointer
in every 'struct auth_cred' and almost every 'struct rpc_cred'.
The rpc_cred used for auth_null has a NULL 'struct cred *' as nothing
else really makes sense.
For rpc_cred, the pointer is reference counted.
For auth_cred it isn't. struct auth_cred are either allocated on
the stack, in which case the thread owns a reference to the auth,
or are part of 'struct generic_cred' in which case gc_base owns the
reference, and "acred" shares it.

But the bulk of it is the treewide conversions to use either the

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
- counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
- a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
- once counter reaches zero, its further
increments aren't allowed
- counter schema uses basic atomic operations
(set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)
Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.
