Chuck Lever 37498292aa NFSD: Create PF_INET6 listener in write_ports
Try to create a PF_INET6 listener for NFSD, if IPv6 is enabled in the
kernel.

Make sure nfsd_serv's reference count is decreased if
__write_ports_addxprt() failed to create a listener.  See
__write_ports_addfd().

Our current plan is to rely on rpc.nfsd to create appropriate IPv6
listeners when server-side NFS/IPv6 support is desired.  Legacy
behavior, via the write_threads or write_svc kernel APIs, will remain
the same -- only IPv4 listeners are created.

Chuck Lever 6871790815 SUNRPC: NFS kernel APIs shouldn't return ENOENT for "transport not found"
write_ports() converts svc_create_xprt()'s ENOENT error return to
EPROTONOSUPPORT so that rpc.nfsd (in user space) can report an error
message that makes sense.

It turns out that several of the other kernel APIs rpc.nfsd use can
also return ENOENT from svc_create_xprt(), by way of lockd_up().

On the client side, an NFSv2 or NFSv3 mount request can also return
the result of lockd_up().  This error may also be returned during an
NFSv4 mount request, since the NFSv4 callback service uses
svc_create_xprt() to create the callback listener.  An ENOENT error
return results in a confusing error message from the mount command.

Let's have svc_create_xprt() return EPROTONOSUPPORT instead of ENOENT.

NeilBrown 82e12fe924 nfsd: don't take nfsd_mutex twice when setting number of threads.
Currently when we write a number to 'threads' in nfsdfs,
we take the nfsd_mutex, update the number of threads, then take the
mutex again to read the number of threads.

Mostly this isn't a big deal.  However if we are write '0', and
portmap happens to be dead, then we can get unpredictable behaviour.
If the nfsd threads all got killed quickly and the last thread is
waiting for portmap to respond, then the second time we take the mutex
we will block waiting for the last thread.
However if the nfsd threads didn't die quite that fast, then there
will be no contention when we try to take the mutex again.

Unpredictability isn't fun, and waiting for the last thread to exit is
pointless, so avoid taking the lock twice.
To achieve this, get nfsd_svc return a non-negative number of active
threads when not returning a negative error.

Chuck Lever 261758b5c3 NFSD: Stricter buffer size checking in write_versions()
While it's not likely today that there are enough NFS versions to
overflow the output buffer in write_versions(), we should be more
careful about detecting the end of the buffer.

The number of NFS versions will only increase as NFSv4 minor versions
are added.

Note that this API doesn't behave the same as portlist.  Here we
attempt to display as many versions as will fit in the buffer, and do
not provide any indication that an overflow would have occurred.  I
don't have any good rationale for that.

Chuck Lever 335c54bdc4 NFSD: Prevent a buffer overflow in svc_xprt_names()
The svc_xprt_names() function can overflow its buffer if it's so near
the end of the passed in buffer that the "name too long" string still
doesn't fit.  Of course, it could never tell if it was near the end
of the passed in buffer, since its only caller passes in zero as the
buffer length.

Let's make this API a little safer.

Change svc_xprt_names() so it *always* checks for a buffer overflow,
and change its only caller to pass in the correct buffer length.

If svc_xprt_names() does overflow its buffer, it now fails with an
ENAMETOOLONG errno, instead of trying to write a message at the end
of the buffer.  I don't like this much, but I can't figure out a clean
way that's always safe to return some of the names, *and* an
indication that the buffer was not long enough.

The displayed error when doing a 'cat /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist' is
"File name too long".

Chuck Lever ea068bad27 NFSD: move lockd_up() before svc_addsock()
Clean up.

A couple of years ago, a series of commits, finishing with commit
5680c446, swapped the order of the lockd_up() and svc_addsock() calls
in __write_ports().  At that time lockd_up() needed to know the
transport protocol of the passed-in socket to start a listener on the
same transport protocol.

These days, lockd_up() doesn't take a protocol argument; it always
starts both a UDP and TCP listener.  It's now more straightforward to
try the lockd_up() first, then do a lockd_down() if the svc_addsock()
fails.

Careful review of this code shows that the svc_sock_names() call is
used only to close the just-opened socket in case lockd_up() fails.
So it is no longer needed if lockd_up() is done first.

Chuck Lever 367c8c7bd9 lockd: Pass "struct sockaddr *" to new failover-by-IP function
Pass a more generic socket address type to nlmsvc_unlock_all_by_ip() to
allow for future support of IPv6.  Also provide additional sanity
checking in failover_unlock_ip() when constructing the server's IP
address.

As an added bonus, provide clean kerneldoc comments on related NLM
interfaces which were recently added.

Jeff Layton 3dd98a3bcc knfsd: clean up nfsd filesystem interfaces
Several of the nfsd filesystem interfaces allow changes to parameters
that don't have any effect on a running nfsd service. They are only ever
checked when nfsd is started. This patch fixes it so that changes to
those procfiles return -EBUSY if nfsd is already running to make it
clear that changes on the fly don't work.

The patch should also close some relatively harmless races between
changing the info in those interfaces and starting nfsd, since these
variables are being moved under the protection of the nfsd_mutex.

Finally, the nfsv4recoverydir file always returns -EINVAL if read. This
patch fixes it to return the recoverydir path as expected.

Neil Brown bedbdd8bad knfsd: Replace lock_kernel with a mutex for nfsd thread startup/shutdown locking.
This removes the BKL from the RPC service creation codepath. The BKL
really isn't adequate for this job since some of this info needs
protection across sleeps.

Also, add some comments to try and clarify how the locking should work
and to make it clear that the BKL isn't necessary as long as there is
adequate locking between tasks when touching the svc_serv fields.

Use proc_create() to make sure that ->proc_fops be setup before gluing PDE to
main tree.
