Nick Piggin 6fe6900e1e mm: make read_cache_page synchronous
Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.

I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
block2mtd.  All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
with a !uptodate page.

Jeff Layton 8426c39c12 [CIFS] Make sec=none force an anonymous mount
We had a customer report that attempting to make CIFS mount with a null
username (i.e. doing an anonymous mount) doesn't work. Looking through the
code, it looks like CIFS expects a NULL username from userspace in order
to trigger an anonymous mount. The mount.cifs code doesn't seem to ever
pass a null username to the kernel, however.

It looks also like the kernel can take a sec=none option, but it only seems
to look at it if the username is already NULL. This seems redundant and
effectively makes sec=none useless.

The following patch makes sec=none force an anonymous mount.

Roland Dreier 796e5661f6 [CIFS] Change semaphore to mutex for cifs lock_sem
Originally at http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/9/2/86

The recent change to "allow Windows blocking locks to be cancelled via a
CANCEL_LOCK call" introduced a new semaphore in struct cifsFileInfo,
lock_sem.  However, semaphores used as mutexes are deprecated these days,
and there's no reason to add a new one to the kernel.  Therefore, convert
lock_sem to a struct mutex (and also fix one indentation glitch on one of
the lines changed anyway).

Neil Brown 83672d392f NFS: Fix directory caching problem - with test case and patch.
Try running this script in an NFS mounted directory (Client relatively
recent - 2.6.18 has the problem as does 2.6.20).

------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
#
# This script will produce the following errormessage from tar:
#
#   tar: newdir/innerdir/innerfile: file changed as we read it

# create dirs
rm -rf nfstest
mkdir -p nfstest/dir/innerdir

# create files (should not be empty)
echo "Hello World!" >nfstest/dir/file
echo "Hello World!" >nfstest/dir/innerdir/innerfile

# problem only happens if we sleep before chmod
sleep 1

# change file modes
chmod -R a+r nfstest

# rename dir
mv nfstest/dir nfstest/newdir

# tar it
tar -cf nfstest/nfstest.tar -C nfstest newdir

# restore old dir name
mv nfstest/newdir nfstest/dir
--------------------------------------------------------

What happens:

The 'chmod -R' does a readdir_plus in each directory and the results
get cached in the page cache.  It then updates the ctime on each file
by one second.  When this happens, the post-op attributes are used to
update the ctime stored on the client to match the value in the kernel.

The 'mv' calls shrink_dcache_parent on the directory tree which
flushes all the dentries (so a new lookup will be required) but
doesn't flush the inodes or pagecache.

The 'tar' does a readdir on each directory, but (in the case of
'innerdir' at least) satisfies it from the pagecache and uses the
READDIRPLUS data to update all the inodes.  In the case of
'innerdir/innerfile', the ctime is out of date.

'tar' then calls 'lstat' on innerdir/innerfile getting an old ctime.
It then opens the file (triggering a GETATTR), reads the content, and
then calls fstat to see if anything has changed.  It finds that ctime
has changed and so complains.

The problem seems to be that the cache readdirplus info is kept around
for too long.

My patch below discards pagecache data for directories when
dentry_iput is called on them.  This effectively removes the symptom
which convinces me that I correctly understand the problem.  However
I'm not convinced that is a proper solution, as there could easily be
other races that trigger the same problem without being affected by
this 'fix'.

One possibility would be to require that readdirplus pagecache data be
only used *once* to instantiate an inode.  Somehow it should then be
invalidated so that if the dentry subsequently disappears, it will
cause a new request to the server to fill in the stat data.

Another possibility is to compare the cache_change_attribute on the
inode with something similar for the readdirplus info and reject the
info from readdirplus if it is too old.

I haven't tried to implement these and would value other opinions
before I do.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

Neil Brown 1f4eab7e7c NFS: Set meaningful value for fattr->time_start in readdirplus results.
Don't use uninitialsed value for fattr->time_start in readdirplus results.

The 'fattr' structure filled in by nfs3_decode_direct does not get a
value for ->time_start set.
Thus if an entry is for an inode that we already have in cache,
when nfs_readdir_lookup calls nfs_fhget, it will call nfs_refresh_inode
and may update the inode with out-of-date information.

Directories are read a page at a time, so each page could have a
different timestamp that "should" be used to set the time_start for
the fattr for info in that page.  However storing the timestamp per
page is awkward.  (We could stick in the first 4 bytes and only read 4092
bytes, but that is a bigger code change than I am interested it).

This patch ignores the readdir_plus attributes if a readdir finds the
information already in cache, and otherwise sets ->time_start to the time
the readdir request was sent to the server.

It might be nice to store - in the directory inode - the time stamp for
the earliest readdir request that is still in the page cache, so that we
don't ignore attribute data that we don't have to.  This patch doesn't do
that.

Steve Dickson 74dd34e6e8 NFS: Added support to turn off the NFSv3 READDIRPLUS RPC.
READDIRPLUS can be a performance hindrance when the client is working with
large directories. In addition, some servers still have bugs in their
implementations (e.g. Tru64 returns wrong values for the fsid).

Add a mount flag to enable users to turn it off at mount time following the
implementation in Apple's NFS client.

Chuck Lever df8b172a88 NFS: switch NFSROOT to use new rpcbind client
It is arguable whether NFSROOT will support IPv6, and thus whether
rpcb_getport_external needs to support rpcbind versions greater than 2.

Chuck Lever 2bea90d43a SUNRPC: RPC buffer size estimates are too large
The RPC buffer size estimation logic in net/sunrpc/clnt.c always
significantly overestimates the requirements for the buffer size.
A little instrumentation demonstrated that in fact rpc_malloc was never
allocating the buffer from the mempool, but almost always called kmalloc.

To compute the size of the RPC buffer more precisely, split p_bufsiz into
two fields; one for the argument size, and one for the result size.

Then, compute the sum of the exact call and reply header sizes, and split
the RPC buffer precisely between the two.  That should keep almost all RPC
buffers within the 2KiB buffer mempool limit.

And, we can finally be rid of RPC_SLACK_SPACE!

Chuck Lever 511d2e8855 NLM: Shrink the maximum request size of NLM4 requests
NLM version 4 requests estimate the call and reply header sizes rather
conservatively, using the very maximum size allowed in the protocol even
though Linux always uses only a small fraction of the allowable space.

Reduce the size of caller and lock arguments to conserve RPC buffer space
while XDR encoding NLM4 arguments.  Add compile-time checks to ensure the
hostname string won't overflow NLM protocol maximums.

Trond Myklebust c63c7b0513 NFS: Fix a race when doing NFS write coalescing
Currently we do write coalescing in a very inefficient manner: one pass in
generic_writepages() in order to lock the pages for writing, then one pass
in nfs_flush_mapping() and/or nfs_sync_mapping_wait() in order to gather
the locked pages for coalescing into RPC requests of size "wsize".

In fact, it turns out there is actually a deadlock possible here since we
only start I/O on the second pass. If the user signals the process while
we're in nfs_sync_mapping_wait(), for instance, then we may exit before
starting I/O on all the requests that have been queued up.
