      pnfs: avoid incorrect use of layout stateid · 38511722
      Fred Isaman authored
      The code could violate the following from RFC5661, section 12.5.3:
      "Once a client has no more layouts on a file, the layout stateid is no
      longer valid and MUST NOT be used."
      
      This can occur when a layout already has a lseg, starts another
      non-everlapping LAYOUTGET, and a CB_LAYOUTRECALL for the existing lseg
      is processed before we hit pnfs_layout_process().
      
      Solve by setting, each time the client has no more lsegs for a file, a
      flag which blocks further use of the layout and triggers its removal.
      
      This also fixes a second bug which occurs in the same instance as
      above.  If we actually use pnfs_layout_process, we add the new lseg to
      the layout, but the layout has been removed from the nfs_client list
      by the intervening CB_LAYOUTRECALL and will not be added back.  Thus
      the newly acquired lseg will not be properly returned in the event of
      a subsequent CB_LAYOUTRECALL.

      NFS: NFSROOT should default to "proto=udp" · 53d47375
      Chuck Lever authored
      There have been a number of recent reports that NFSROOT is no longer
      working with default mount options, but fails only with certain NICs.
      
      Brian Downing <bdowning@lavos.net> bisected to commit 56463e50 "NFS:
      Use super.c for NFSROOT mount option parsing".  Among other things,
      this commit changes the default mount options for NFSROOT to use TCP
      instead of UDP as the underlying transport.
      
      TCP seems less able to deal with NICs that are slow to initialize.
      The system logs that have accompanied reports of problems all show
      that NFSROOT attempts to establish a TCP connection before the NIC is
      fully initialized, and thus the TCP connection attempt fails.
      
      When a TCP connection attempt fails during a mount operation, the
      NFS stack needs to fail the operation.  Usually user space knows how
      and when to retry it.  The network layer does not report a distinct
      error code for this particular failure mode.  Thus, there isn't a
      clean way for the RPC client to see that it needs to retry in this
      case, but not in others.
      
      Because NFSROOT is used in some environments where it is not possible
      to update the kernel command line to specify "udp", the proper thing
      to do is change NFSROOT to use UDP by default, as it did before commit
      56463e50.
      
      To make it easier to see how to change default mount options for
      NFSROOT and to distinguish default settings from mandatory settings,
      I've adjusted a couple of areas to document the specifics.
      
      root_nfs_cat() is also modified to deal with commas properly when
      concatenating strings containing mount option lists.  This keeps
      root_nfs_cat() call sites simpler, now that we may be concatenating
      multiple mount option strings.

      nfs4_state_mark_reclaim_reboot(), so mark them as static.

      NFSv4/4.1: Fix nfs4_schedule_state_recovery abuses · 0400a6b0
      Trond Myklebust authored
      nfs4_schedule_state_recovery() should only be used when we need to force
      the state manager to check the lease. If we just want to start the
      state manager in order to handle a state recovery situation, we should be
      using nfs4_schedule_state_manager().
      
      This patch fixes the abuses of nfs4_schedule_state_recovery() by replacing
      its use with a set of helper functions that do the right thing.
