J. Bruce Fields b12a05cbdf nfsd4: cl_count is unused
Now that the shutdown sequence guarantees callbacks are shut down before
the client is destroyed, we no longer have a use for cl_count.

We'll probably reinstate a reference count on the client some day, but
it will be held by users other than callbacks.

J. Bruce Fields b5a1a81e5c nfsd4: don't sleep in lease-break callback
The NFSv4 server's fl_break callback can sleep (dropping the BKL), in
order to allocate a new rpc task to send a recall to the client.

As far as I can tell this doesn't cause any races in the current code,
but the analysis is difficult.  Also, the sleep here may complicate the
move away from the BKL.

So, just schedule some work to do the job for us instead.  The work will
later also prove useful for restarting a call after the callback
information is changed.

J. Bruce Fields 9045b4b9f7 nfsd4: remove probe task's reference on client
Any null probe rpc will be synchronously destroyed by the
rpc_shutdown_client() in expire_client(), so the rpc task cannot outlast
the nfs4 client.  Therefore there's no need for that task to hold a
reference on the client.

Chuck Lever 58255a4e3c NFSD: NFSv4 callback client should use RPC_TASK_SOFTCONN
The server's callback client should stop trying to connect to the
client's callback server as soon as it gets ECONNREFUSED.

The NFS server's callback client does not call rpc_ping(), but appears
to have it's own "ping" procedure, so it wasn't covered by commit
caabea8a.

Ricardo Labiaga 2a1d1b5938 nfsd41: Backchannel: Setup sequence information
Follows the model used by the NFS client.  Setup the RPC prepare and done
function pointers so that we can populate the sequence information if
minorversion == 1.  rpc_run_task() is then invoked directly just like
existing NFS client operations do.

nfsd4_cb_prepare() determines if the sequence information needs to be setup.
If the slot is in use, it adds itself to the wait queue.

nfsd4_cb_done() wakes anyone sleeping on the callback channel wait queue
after our RPC reply has been received.  It also sets the task message
result pointer to NULL to clearly indicate we're done using it.

J. Bruce Fields 886e3b7fe6 nfsd4: fix null dereference creating nfsv4 callback client
On setting up the callback to the client, we attempt to use the same
authentication flavor the client did.  We find an rpc cred to use by
calling rpcauth_lookup_credcache(), which assumes that the given
authentication flavor has a credentials cache.  However, this is not
required to be true--in particular, auth_null does not use one.
Instead, we should call the auth's lookup_cred() method.

Without this, a client attempting to mount using nfsv4 and auth_null
triggers a null dereference.

Benny Halevy 97eb89bb0e nfsd: do_probe_callback should not clear rpc stats
Now that cb_stats are static (since commit
ff7d9756b5)
there's no need to clear them.

Initially I thought it might make sense to do
that every callback probing but since the stats
are per-program and they are shared between possibly
several client callback instances, zeroing them out
seems like the wrong thing to do.

Note that that commit also introduced a bug
since stats.program is also being cleared in the process
and it is not restored after the memset as it used to be.

witnessed it only after adding rpcsec_gss support to the server, after
which the rpc code can send destroys calls that expect to still be able
to access the rpc_stats structure after it has been destroyed.)

Such races are in theory possible if the module containing this "static"
memory is removed very quickly after an rpc client is destroyed, but
we haven't seen that happen.

J. Bruce Fields 404ec117be nfsd4: recognize callback channel failure earlier
When the callback channel fails, we inform the client of that by
returning a cb_path_down error the next time it tries to renew its
lease.

If we wait most of a lease period before deciding that a callback has
failed and that the callback channel is down, then we decrease the
chances that the client will find out in time to do anything about it.

So, mark the channel down as soon as we recognize that an rpc has
failed.  However, continue trying to recall delegations anyway, in hopes
it will come back up.  This will prevent more delegations from being
given out, and ensure cb_path_down is returned to renew calls earlier,
while still making the best effort to deliver recalls of existing
delegations.

Also fix a couple comments and remove a dprink that doesn't seem likely
to be useful.

J. Bruce Fields 63c86716ea nfsd: move callback rpc_client creation into separate thread
The whole reason to move this callback-channel probe into a separate
thread was because (for now) we don't have an easy way to create the
rpc_client asynchronously.  But I forgot to move the rpc_create() to the
spawned thread.  Doh!  Fix that.
