Andy Adamson 863a3c6c68 NFSv4.1: layoutcommit
The filelayout driver sends LAYOUTCOMMIT only when COMMIT goes to
the data server (as opposed to the MDS) and the data server WRITE
is not NFS_FILE_SYNC.

Only whole file layout support means that there is only one IOMODE_RW layout
segment.

Fred Isaman a861a1e1c3 NFSv4.1: add generic layer hooks for pnfs COMMIT
We create three major hooks for the pnfs code.

pnfs_mark_request_commit() is called during writeback_done from
nfs_mark_request_commit, which gives the driver an opportunity to
claim it wants control over commiting a particular req.

pnfs_choose_commit_list() is called from nfs_scan_list
to choose which list a given req should be added to, based on
where we intend to send it for COMMIT.  It is up to the driver
to have preallocated list headers for each destination it may need.

pnfs_commit_list() is how the driver actually takes control, it is
used instead of nfs_commit_list().

In order to pass information between the above functions, we create
a union in nfs_page to hold a lseg (which is possible because the req is
not on any list while in transition), and add some flags to indicate
if we need to use the pnfs code.

Bryan Schumaker 8ef2ce3e16 NFS: Detect loops in a readdir due to bad cookies
Some filesystems (such as ext4) can return the same cookie value for
multiple files.  If we try to start a readdir with one of these cookies,
the server will return the first file found with a cookie of the same
value.  This can cause the client to enter an infinite loop.

Bryan Schumaker 480c2006eb NFS: Create nfs_open_dir_context
nfs_opendir() created a context that held much more information than we
need for a readdir.  This patch introduces a slimmed-down
nfs_open_dir_context that contains only the cookie and the cred used for
RPC operations.  The new context will eventually be used to help detect
readdir loops.

Trond Myklebust 11de3b11e0 NFS: Fix a memory leak in nfs_readdir
We need to ensure that the entries in the nfs_cache_array get cleared
when the page is removed from the page cache. To do so, we use the
freepage address_space operation.

Change nfs_readdir_clear_array to use kmap_atomic(), so that the
function can be safely called from all contexts.

Finally, modify the cache_page_release helper to call
nfs_readdir_clear_array directly, when dealing with an anonymous
page from 'uncached_readdir'.

Trond Myklebust 1ae88b2e44 NFS: Fix an O_DIRECT Oops...
We can't call nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release() without
first initialising and referencing args.context. Doing so inside
nfs_direct_read_schedule_segment()/nfs_direct_write_schedule_segment()
causes an Oops.

We should rather be calling nfs_readdata_free()/nfs_writedata_free() in
those cases.

Looking at the O_DIRECT code, the "struct nfs_direct_req" is already
referencing the nfs_open_context for us. Since the readdata and writedata
structures carry a reference to that, we can simplify things by getting rid
of the extra nfs_open_context references, so that we can replace all
instances of nfs_readdata_release()/nfs_writedata_release().

Trond Myklebust 72cb77f4a5 NFS: Throttle page dirtying while we're flushing to disk
The following patch is a combination of a patch by myself and Peter
Staubach.

Trond: If we allow other processes to dirty pages while a process is doing
a consistency sync to disk, we can end up never making progress.

Peter: Attached is a patch which addresses a continuing problem with
the NFS client generating out of order WRITE requests.  While
this is compliant with all of the current protocol
specifications, there are servers in the market which can not
handle out of order WRITE requests very well.  Also, this may
lead to sub-optimal block allocations in the underlying file
system on the server.  This may cause the read throughputs to
be reduced when reading the file from the server.

Peter: There has been a lot of work recently done to address out of
order issues on a systemic level.  However, the NFS client is
still susceptible to the problem.  Out of order WRITE
requests can occur when pdflush is in the middle of writing
out pages while the process dirtying the pages calls
generic_file_buffered_write which calls
generic_perform_write which calls
balance_dirty_pages_rate_limited which ends up calling
writeback_inodes which ends up calling back into the NFS
client to writes out dirty pages for the same file that
pdflush happens to be working with.

Peter Staubach 64672d55d9 optimize attribute timeouts for "noac" and "actimeo=0"
Hi.

I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where
a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0"
mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were
seeing in the file attributes.  It turned out that this solution
did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local
attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out.
(With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always
appear to be timed out.)

In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem
is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one
error in it.  It is assuming that the cache is valid in the
region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo].  The
cache should be considered valid only in the region,
[read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo).  With this
change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally
expected.

This problem was previously addressed by special casing the
attrtimeo == 0 case.  However, since the problem is only an off-
by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one
error and thus, not require the special case.

    Thanx...

Chuck Lever 146ec944bb NFS: Move declaration of nfs_mount() to fs/nfs/internal.h
Clean up:  The nfs_mount() function is not to be used outside of the
NFS client.  Move its public declaration to fs/nfs/internal.h.

Neil Brown 504e518953 Make nfs_file_cred more robust.
As not all files have an associated open_context (e.g. device special
files), it is safest to test for the existence of the open context
before de-referencing it.

Trond Myklebust 4704f0e274 NFS: Fix the resolution problem with nfs_inode_attrs_need_update()
It appears that 'jiffies' timestamps do not have high enough resolution for
nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(). One problem is that a GETATTR can be
launched within < 1 jiffy of the last operation that updated the attribute.
Another problem is that RPC calls can take < 1 jiffy to execute.

We can fix this by switching the variables to use a simple global counter
that gets incremented every time we start another GETATTR call.

Trond Myklebust 691beb13cd NFS: Allow concurrent inode revalidation
Currently, if two processes are both trying to revalidate metadata for the
same inode, they will find themselves being serialised. There is no good
justification for this now that we have improved our ability to detect
stale attribute data, so we should remove that serialisation.
