Chuck Lever 6c9dc42551 lockd: Update NSM state from SM_MON replies
When rpc.statd starts up in user space at boot time, it attempts to
write the latest NSM local state number into
/proc/sys/fs/nfs/nsm_local_state.

If lockd.ko isn't loaded yet (as is the case in most configurations),
that file doesn't exist, thus the kernel's NSM state remains set to
its initial value of zero during lockd operation.

This is a problem because rpc.statd and lockd use the NSM state number
to prevent repeated lock recovery on rebooted hosts.  If lockd sends
a zero NSM state, but then a delayed SM_NOTIFY with a real NSM state
number is received, there is no way for lockd or rpc.statd to
distinguish that stale SM_NOTIFY from an actual reboot.  Thus lock
recovery could be performed after the rebooted host has already
started reclaiming locks, and those locks will be lost.

We could change /etc/init.d/nfslock so it always modprobes lockd.ko
before starting rpc.statd.  However, if lockd.ko is ever unloaded
and reloaded, we are back at square one, since the NSM state is not
preserved across an unload/reload cycle.  This may happen frequently
on clients that use automounter.  A period of NFS inactivity causes
lockd.ko to be unloaded, and the kernel loses its NSM state setting.

Instead, let's use the fact that rpc.statd plants the local system's
NSM state in every SM_MON (and SM_UNMON) reply.  lockd performs a
synchronous SM_MON upcall to the local rpc.statd _before_ sending its
first NLM request to a new remote.  This would permit rpc.statd to
provide the current NSM state to lockd, even after lockd.ko had been
unloaded and reloaded.

Note that NLMPROC_LOCK arguments are constructed before the
nsm_monitor() call, so we have to rearrange argument construction very
slightly to make this all work out.

And, the kernel appears to treat NSM state as a u32 (see struct
nlm_args and nsm_res).  Make nsm_local_state a u32 as well, to ensure
we don't get bogus comparison results.

Miklos Szeredi cc77b1521d lockd: dont return EAGAIN for a permanent error
Fix nlm_fopen() to return NLM_FAILED (or NLM_LCK_DENIED_NOLOCKS) instead
of NLM_LCK_DENIED.  The latter means the lock request failed because of a
conflicting lock (i.e.  a temporary error), which is wrong in this case.

Also fix the client to return ENOLCK instead of EAGAIN if a blocking lock
request returns with NLM_LOCK_DENIED.

Felix Blyakher d67d1c7bf9 nfs: set correct fl_len in nlmclnt_test()
fcntl(F_GETLK) on an nfs client incorrectly returns
the values for the conflicting lock. fl_len value is
always 1.
If the conflicting lock is (0, 4095) the F_GETLK
request for (1024, 10) returns (0, 1), which doesn't
even cover the requested range, and is quite confusing.
The fix is trivial, set fl_end from the fl_end value
recieved from the nfs server.

The following patch converts the NFSv2/v3 locking code to use the same
mechanism as NFSv4 for sending asynchronous RPC calls and then waiting for
them to complete. This ensures that the UNLOCK and CANCEL RPC calls will
complete even if the user interrupts the call, yet satisfies the
above request for synchronous behaviour on process exit.

Chuck Lever 1093a60ef3 NLM/NFS: Use cached nlm_host when calling nlmclnt_proc()
Now that each NFS mount point caches its own nlm_host structure, it can be
passed to nlmclnt_proc() for each lock request.  By pinning an nlm_host for
each mount point, we trade the overhead of looking up or creating a fresh
nlm_host struct during every NLM procedure call for a little extra memory.

We also restrict the nlmclnt_proc symbol to limit the use of this call to
in-tree modules.

Note that nlm_lookup_host() (just removed from the client's per-request
NLM processing) could also trigger an nlm_host garbage collection.  Now
client-side nlm_host garbage collection occurs only during NFS mount
processing.  Since the NFS client now holds a reference on these nlm_host
structures, they wouldn't have been affected by garbage collection
anyway.

Given that nlm_lookup_host() reorders the global nlm_host chain after
every successful lookup, and that a garbage collection could be triggered
during the call, we've removed a significant amount of per-NLM-request
CPU processing overhead.

Sidebar: there are only a few remaining references to the internals of
NFS inodes in the client-side NLM code.  The only references I found are
related to extracting or comparing the inode's file handle via NFS_FH().
One is in nlmclnt_grant(); the other is in nlmclnt_setlockargs().

Trond Myklebust 963d8fe533 RPC: Clean up RPC task structure
Shrink the RPC task structure. Instead of storing separate pointers
 for task->tk_exit and task->tk_release, put them in a structure.

 Also pass the user data pointer as a parameter instead of passing it via
 task->tk_calldata. This enables us to nest callbacks.
