Tools like tcpdump and rpcdebug can be very useful. But there are
plenty of environments where they are difficult or impossible to
use. For example, we've had customers report I/O failures during
workloads so heavy that collecting network traffic or enabling
RPC debugging are themselves onerous.
The kernel's static tracepoints are lightweight (less likely to
introduce timing changes) and efficient (the trace data is compact).
They also work in scenarios where capturing network traffic is not
possible due to lack of hardware support (some InfiniBand HCAs) or
where data or network privacy is a concern.
Introduce tracepoints that show when an NFS READ, WRITE, or COMMIT
is initiated, and when it completes. Record the arguments and
results of each operation, which are not shown by existing sunrpc
module's tracepoints.
For instance, the recorded offset and count can be used to match an
"initiate" event to a "done" event. If an NFS READ result returns
fewer bytes than requested or zero, seeing the EOF flag can be
probative. Seeing an NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID result is also indication
of a particular class of problems. The timing information attached
to each event record can often be useful as well.
Usage example:
[root@manet tmp]# trace-cmd record -e nfs:*initiate* -e nfs:*done
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/nfs/*initiate*/filter
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/nfs/*done/filter
Hit Ctrl^C to stop recording
^CKernel buffer statistics:
Note: "entries" are the entries left in the kernel ring buffer and are not
recorded in the trace data. They should all be zero.
CPU: 0
entries: 0
overrun: 0
commit overrun: 0
bytes: 3680
oldest event ts: 78.367422
now ts: 100.124419

The writeback code wants to send a commit after processing the pages,
which is why we want to delay releasing the struct path until after
that's done.
Also, the layout code expects that we do not free the inode before

Since commit 18290650b1 ("NFS: Move buffered I/O locking into
nfs_file_write()") nfs_file_write() has not flushed the correct byte
range during synchronous writes. generic_write_sync() expects that
iocb->ki_pos points to the right edge of the range rather than the
left edge.
To replicate the problem, open a file with O_DSYNC, have the client
write at increasing offsets, and then print the successful offsets.
Block port 2049 partway through that sequence, and observe that the
client application indicates successful writes in advance of what the
server received.

When a byte range lock (or flock) is taken out on an NFS file, the
validity of the cached data is checked and the inode is marked
NFS_INODE_INVALID_DATA. However the cached data isn't flushed from
the page cache.
This is sufficient for future read() requests or mmap() requests as
they call nfs_revalidate_mapping() which performs the flush if
necessary.
However an existing mapping is not affected. Accessing data through
that mapping will continue to return old data even though the inode is
marked NFS_INODE_INVALID_DATA.
This can easily be confirmed using the 'nfs' tool in
git://github.com/okirch/twopence-nfs.git
and running
nfs coherence FILENAME
on one client, and
nfs coherence -r FILENAME
on another client.
It appears that prior to Linux 2.6.0 this worked correctly.
However commit:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/history/history.git/commit/?id=ca9268fe3ddd075714005adecd4afbd7f9ab87d0
removed the call to inode_invalidate_pages() from nfs_zap_caches(). I
haven't tested this code, but inspection suggests that prior to this
commit, file locking would invalidate all inode pages.
This patch adds a call to nfs_revalidate_mapping() after a
successful SETLK so that invalid data is flushed. With this patch the
above test passes. To minimize impact (and possibly avoid a GETATTR
call) this only happens if the mapping might be mapped into
userspace.

For a while now any NFSv2 mount where sec= is specified uses
AUTH_NULL. If sec= is not specified, the mount uses AUTH_UNIX.
Commit e68fd7c807 ("mount: use sec= that was specified on the
command line") attempted to address a very similar problem with
NFSv3, and should have fixed this too, but it has a bug.
The MNTv1 MNT procedure does not return a list of security flavors,
so our client makes up a list containing just AUTH_NULL. This should
enable nfs_verify_authflavors() to assign the sec= specified flavor,
but instead, it incorrectly sets it to AUTH_NULL.
I expect this would also be a problem for any NFSv3 server whose
MNTv3 MNT procedure returned a security flavor list containing only
AUTH_NULL.

An NFSv4.1 client might close a file after the user who opened it has
logged off. In this case the user's credentials may no longer be
valid, if they are e.g. kerberos credentials that have expired.
NFSv4.1 has a mechanism to allow the client to use machine credentials
to close a file. However due to a short-coming in the RFC, a CLOSE
with those credentials may not be possible if the file in question
isn't exported to the same security flavor - the required PUTFH must
be rejected when this is the case.
Specifically if a server and client support kerberos in general and
have used it to form a machine credential, but the file is only
exported to "sec=sys", a PUTFH with the machine credentials will fail,
so CLOSE is not possible.
As RPC_AUTH_UNIX (used by sec=sys) credentials can never expire, there
is no value in using the machine credential in place of them.
So in that case, just use the users credentials for CLOSE etc, as you would
in NFSv4.0

There are a number of callers of nfs_pageio_complete() that want to
continue using the nfs_pageio_descriptor without needing to call
nfs_pageio_init() again. Examples include nfs_pageio_resend() and
nfs_pageio_cond_complete().
The problem is that nfs_pageio_complete() also calls
nfs_pageio_cleanup_mirroring(), which frees up the array of mirrors.
This can lead to writeback errors, in the next call to
nfs_pageio_setup_mirroring().
Fix by simply moving the allocation of the mirrors to
nfs_pageio_setup_mirroring().

Since nfs_page_group_destroy() does not take any locks on the requests
to be freed, we need to ensure that we don't inadvertently free the

is being released elsewhere.
Do this by:
1) Taking a reference to the request unless it is already being freed
2) Checking (under the page group lock) if PG_TEARDOWN is already set before
freeing an unreferenced request in nfs_destroy_unlinked_subrequests()

When locking the entire group in order to remove subrequests,
the locks are always taken in order, and with the page group
lock being taken after the page head is locked. The intention
is that:
1) The lock on the group head guarantees that requests may not
be removed from the group (although new entries could be appended
if we're not holding the group lock).
2) It is safe to drop and retake the page group lock while iterating
through the list, in particular when waiting for a subrequest lock.

We should no longer need the inode->i_lock, now that we've
straightened out the request locking. The locking schema is now:
1) Lock page head request
2) Lock the page group
3) Lock the subrequests one by one
Note that there is a subtle race with nfs_inode_remove_request() due
to the fact that the latter does not lock the page head, when removing
it from the struct page. Only the last subrequest is locked, hence
we need to re-check that the PagePrivate(page) is still set after
we've locked all the subrequests.
