The transport lock is needed to protect the xprt_adjust_cwnd() call
in xs_udp_timer, but it is not necessary for accessing the
rq_reply_bytes_recvd or tk_status fields. It is correct to sublimate
the lock into UDP's xs_udp_timer method, where it is required.
The ->timer method has to take the transport lock if needed, but it
can now sleep safely, or even call back into the RPC scheduler.
This is more a clean-up than a fix, but the "issue" was introduced
by my transport switch patches back in 2005.

xs_connect() contains an exponential backoff mechanism so the repeated
connection attempts are delayed by longer and longer amounts.
This is appropriate when the connection failed due to a timeout, but
it not appropriate when a definitive "no" answer is received. In such
cases, call_connect_status() imposes a minimum 3-second back-off, so
not having the exponetial back-off will never result in immediate
retries.
The current situation is a problem when the NFS server tries to
register with rpcbind but rpcbind isn't running. All connection
attempts are made on the same "xprt" and as the connection is never
"closed", the exponential back delays successive attempts to register,
or de-register, different protocols. This results in a multi-minute
delay with no benefit.
So, when call_connect_status() receives a definitive "no", use
xprt_conditional_disconnect() to cancel the previous connection attempt.
This will set XPRT_CLOSE_WAIT so that xprt->ops->close() calls xs_close()
which resets the reestablish_timeout.
To ensure xprt_conditional_disconnect() does the right thing, we
ensure that rq_connect_cookie is set before a connection attempt, and
allow xprt_conditional_disconnect() to complete even when the
transport is not fully connected.

xprtrdma needs to allocate the Call and Reply buffers separately.
TBH, the reliance on using a single buffer for the pair of XDR
buffers is transport implementation-specific.
Instead of passing just the rq_buffer into the buf_free method, pass
the task structure and let buf_free take care of freeing both
XDR buffers at once.
There's a micro-optimization here. In the common case, both
xprt_release and the transport's buf_free method were checking if
rq_buffer was NULL. Now the check is done only once per RPC.

rpciod can easily get congested due to the long list of queued rpc_tasks.

This fixes a regression introduced by commit caf4ccd4e8 ("SUNRPC:
Make xs_tcp_close() do a socket shutdown rather than a sock_release").
Prior to that commit, the autoclose feature would ensure that an
idle connection would result in the socket being both disconnected and
released, whereas now only gets disconnected.
While the current behaviour is harmless, it does leave the port bound
until either RPC traffic resumes or the RPC client is shut down.

If the sending queue has a task without ->rq_cong set at the front,
and then a number of tasks with ->rq_cong set such that they use
the entire congestion window, then the queue deadlocks. The first
entry cannot be processed until later entries complete.
This scenario has been seen with a client using UDP to access a server,
and the network connection breaking for a period of time - it doesn't
recover.
It never really makes sense for an ->rq_cong request to be on the ->sending
queue, but it can happen when a request is being retried, and finds
the transport if locked (XPRT_LOCKED). In this case we simple call
__xprt_put_cong() and the deadlock goes away.

It has been exceptionally useful to exercise the logic that handles
local immediate errors and RDMA connection loss. To enable
developers to test this regularly and repeatably, add logic to
simulate connection loss every so often.
Fault injection is disabled by default. It is enabled with
$ sudo echo xxx > /sys/kernel/debug/sunrpc/inject_fault/disconnect
where "xxx" is a large positive number of transport method calls
before a disconnect. A value of several thousand is usually a good
number that allows reasonable forward progress while still causing a
lot of connection drops.
These hooks are disabled when SUNRPC_DEBUG is turned off.

We currently have a problem that SELinux policy is being enforced when
creating debugfs files. If a debugfs file is created as a side effect of
doing some syscall, then that creation can fail if the SELinux policy
for that process prevents it.
This seems wrong. We don't do that for files under /proc, for instance,
so Bruce has proposed a patch to fix that.
While discussing that patch however, Greg K.H. stated:
"No kernel code should care / fail if a debugfs function fails, so
please fix up the sunrpc code first."
This patch converts all of the sunrpc debugfs setup code to be void
return functins, and the callers to not look for errors from those
functions.
This should allow rpc_clnt and rpc_xprt creation to work, even if the
kernel fails to create debugfs files for some reason.

If the task needs to give up the socket lock in order to allow a
reconnect to occur, then it must also clear the 'rq_bytes_sent' field
so that when it retransmits, it knows to start from the beginning.

Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@primarydata.com>
The socket lock is currently held by the task that is requesting the
connection be established. While that is efficient in the case where
the connection happens quickly, it is racy in the case where it doesn't.
What we really want is for the connect helper to be able to block access
to the socket while it is being set up.
This patch does so by arranging to transfer the socket lock from the
task that is requesting the connect attempt, and then releasing that
lock once everything is done.
This scheme also gives us automatic protection against collisions with
the RPC close code, so we can kill the cancel_delayed_work_sync()
call in xs_close().

The current code always selects XPRT_TRANSPORT_BC_TCP for the back
channel, even when the forward channel was not TCP (eg, RDMA). When
a 4.1 mount is attempted with RDMA, the server panics in the TCP BC
code when trying to send CB_NULL.
Instead, construct the transport protocol number from the forward
channel transport or'd with XPRT_TRANSPORT_BC. Transports that do
not support bi-directional RPC will not have registered a "BC"
transport, causing create_backchannel_client() to fail immediately.

If the rpc_task exits while holding the socket write lock before it has
allocated an rpc slot, then the usual mechanism for releasing the write
lock in xprt_release() is defeated.
The problem occurs if the call to xprt_lock_write() initially fails, so
that the rpc_task is put on the xprt->sending wait queue. If the task
exits after being assigned the lock by __xprt_lock_write_func, but
before it has retried the call to xprt_lock_and_alloc_slot(), then
it calls xprt_release() while holding the write lock, but will
immediately exit due to the test for task->tk_rqstp != NULL.

Commit 43cedbf0e8 (SUNRPC: Ensure that

Since neither the UDP or the RDMA transport mechanism use dynamic slot
allocation, we can skip grabbing the socket lock for those transports.
Add a new rpc_xprt_op to allow switching between the TCP and UDP/RDMA
case.
