      NFS: Share NFS superblocks per-protocol per-server per-FSID · 54ceac45
      David Howells authored
      The attached patch makes NFS share superblocks between mounts from the same
      server and FSID over the same protocol.
      
      It does this by creating each superblock with a false root and returning the
      real root dentry in the vfsmount presented by get_sb(). The root dentry set
      starts off as an anonymous dentry if we don't already have the dentry for its
      inode, otherwise it simply returns the dentry we already have.
      
      We may thus end up with several trees of dentries in the superblock, and if at
      some later point one of anonymous tree roots is discovered by normal filesystem
      activity to be located in another tree within the superblock, the anonymous
      root is named and materialises attached to the second tree at the appropriate
      point.
      
      Why do it this way? Why not pass an extra argument to the mount() syscall to
      indicate the subpath and then pathwalk from the server root to the desired
      directory? You can't guarantee this will work for two reasons:
      
       (1) The root and intervening nodes may not be accessible to the client.
      
           With NFS2 and NFS3, for instance, mountd is called on the server to get
           the filehandle for the tip of a path. mountd won't give us handles for
           anything we don't have permission to access, and so we can't set up NFS
           inodes for such nodes, and so can't easily set up dentries (we'd have to
           have ghost inodes or something).
      
           With this patch we don't actually create dentries until we get handles
           from the server that we can use to set up their inodes, and we don't
           actually bind them into the tree until we know for sure where they go.
      
       (2) Inaccessible symbolic links.
      
           If we're asked to mount two exports from the server, eg:
      
      	mount warthog:/warthog/aaa/xxx /mmm
      	mount warthog:/warthog/bbb/yyy /nnn
      
           We may not be able to access anything nearer the root than xxx and yyy,
           but we may find out later that /mmm/www/yyy, say, is actually the same
           directory as the one mounted on /nnn. What we might then find out, for
           example, is that /warthog/bbb was actually a symbolic link to
           /warthog/aaa/xxx/www, but we can't actually determine that by talking to
           the server until /warthog is made available by NFS.
      
           This would lead to having constructed an errneous dentry tree which we
           can't easily fix. We can end up with a dentry marked as a directory when
           it should actually be a symlink, or we could end up with an apparently
           hardlinked directory.
      
           With this patch we need not make assumptions about the type of a dentry
           for which we can't retrieve information, nor need we assume we know its
           place in the grand scheme of things until we actually see that place.
      
      This patch reduces the possibility of aliasing in the inode and page caches for
      inodes that may be accessed by more than one NFS export. It also reduces the
      number of superblocks required for NFS where there are many NFS exports being
      used from a server (home directory server + autofs for example).
      
      This in turn makes it simpler to do local caching of network filesystems, as it
      can then be guaranteed that there won't be links from multiple inodes in
      separate superblocks to the same cache file.
      
      Obviously, cache aliasing between different levels of NFS protocol could still
      be a problem, but at least that gives us another key to use when indexing the
      cache.
      
      This patch makes the following changes:
      
       (1) The server record construction/destruction has been abstracted out into
           its own set of functions to make things easier to get right.  These have
           been moved into fs/nfs/client.c.
      
           All the code in fs/nfs/client.c has to do with the management of
           connections to servers, and doesn't touch superblocks in any way; the
           remaining code in fs/nfs/super.c has to do with VFS superblock management.
      
       (2) The sequence of events undertaken by NFS mount is now reordered:
      
           (a) A volume representation (struct nfs_server) is allocated.
      
           (b) A server representation (struct nfs_client) is acquired.  This may be
           	 allocated or shared, and is keyed on server address, port and NFS
           	 version.
      
           (c) If allocated, the client representation is initialised.  The state
           	 member variable of nfs_client is used to prevent a race during
           	 initialisation from two mounts.
      
           (d) For NFS4 a simple pathwalk is performed, walking from FH to FH to find
           	 the root filehandle for the mount (fs/nfs/getroot.c).  For NFS2/3 we
           	 are given the root FH in advance.
      
           (e) The volume FSID is probed for on the root FH.
      
           (f) The volume representation is initialised from the FSINFO record
           	 retrieved on the root FH.
      
           (g) sget() is called to acquire a superblock.  This may be allocated or
           	 shared, keyed on client pointer and FSID.
      
           (h) If allocated, the superblock is initialised.
      
           (i) If the superblock is shared, then the new nfs_server record is
           	 discarded.
      
           (j) The root dentry for this mount is looked up from the root FH.
      
           (k) The root dentry for this mount is assigned to the vfsmount.
      
       (3) nfs_readdir_lookup() creates dentries for each of the entries readdir()
           returns; this function now attaches disconnected trees from alternate
           roots that happen to be discovered attached to a directory being read (in
           the same way nfs_lookup() is made to do for lookup ops).
      
           The new d_materialise_unique() function is now used to do this, thus
           permitting the whole thing to be done under one set of locks, and thus
           avoiding any race between mount and lookup operations on the same
           directory.
      
       (4) The client management code uses a new debug facility: NFSDBG_CLIENT which
           is set by echoing 1024 to /proc/net/sunrpc/nfs_debug.
      
       (5) Clone mounts are now called xdev mounts.
      
       (6) Use the dentry passed to the statfs() op as the handle for retrieving fs
           statistics rather than the root dentry of the superblock (which is now a
           dummy).

      NFS: Eliminate client_sys in favour of cl_rpcclient · 5006a76c
      David Howells authored
      Eliminate nfs_server::client_sys in favour of nfs_client::cl_rpcclient as we
      only really need one per server that we're talking to since it doesn't have any
      security on it.
      
      The retransmission management variables are also moved to the common struct as
      they're required to set up the cl_rpcclient connection.
      
      The NFS2/3 client and client_acl connections are thenceforth derived by cloning
      the cl_rpcclient connection and post-applying the authorisation flavour.
      
      The code for setting up the initial common connection has been moved to
      client.c as nfs_create_rpc_client().  All the NFS program definition tables are
      also moved there as that's where they're now required rather than super.c.

      NFS: Generalise the nfs_client structure · 24c8dbbb
      David Howells authored
      Generalise the nfs_client structure by:
      
       (1) Moving nfs_client to a more general place (nfs_fs_sb.h).
      
       (2) Renaming its maintenance routines to be non-NFS4 specific.
      
       (3) Move those maintenance routines to a new non-NFS4 specific file (client.c)
           and move the declarations to internal.h.
      
       (4) Make nfs_find/get_client() take a full sockaddr_in to include the port
           number (will be required for NFS2/3).
      
       (5) Make nfs_find/get_client() take the NFS protocol version (again will be
           required to differentiate NFS2, 3 & 4 client records).
      
      Also:
      
       (6) Make nfs_client construction proceed akin to inodes, marking them as under
           construction and providing a function to indicate completion.
      
       (7) Make nfs_get_client() wait interruptibly if it finds a client that it can
           share, but that client is currently being constructed.
      
       (8) Make nfs4_create_client() use (6) and (7) instead of locking cl_sem.

      NFS: Add dentry materialisation op · 770bfad8
      David Howells authored
      The attached patch adds a new directory cache management function that prepares
      a disconnected anonymous function to be connected into the dentry tree. The
      anonymous dentry is transferred the name and parentage from another dentry.
      
      The following changes were made in [try #2]:
      
       (*) d_materialise_dentry() now switches the parentage of the two nodes around
           correctly when one or other of them is self-referential.
      
      The following changes were made in [try #7]:
      
       (*) d_instantiate_unique() has had the interior part split out as function
           __d_instantiate_unique(). Callers of this latter function must be holding
           the appropriate locks.
      
       (*) _d_rehash() has been added as a wrapper around __d_rehash() to call it
           with the most obvious hash list (the one from the name). d_rehash() now
           calls _d_rehash().
      
       (*) d_materialise_dentry() is now __d_materialise_dentry() and is static.
      
       (*) d_materialise_unique() added to perform the combination of d_find_alias(),
           d_materialise_dentry() and d_add_unique() that the NFS client was doing
           twice, all within a single dcache_lock critical section. This reduces the
           number of times two different spinlocks were being accessed.
      
      The following further changes were made:
      
       (*) Add the dentries onto their parents d_subdirs lists.

      A pinned inode may in theory end up filling memory with cached ACCESS

      The shrinker works by iterating through the list of inodes on the global

      cache entry until it is done (or until the entire cache is empty).

      |    [FBCON] Cursor handling clean up. I nuked several static variables.
      
      we have
      
      -static void fbcon_vbl_handler(int irq, void *dummy, struct pt_regs *fp)
      +static void fb_vbl_handler(int irq, void *dev_id, struct pt_regs *fp)
      
      and 3 years later a couple of instances missed back then still remains
      there.

      [PATCH] sun4: fix sbus_setup_iommu() · 5932ef07
      Al Viro authored
      iommu_init() and iounit_init() are never called for sun4, but that's not
      enough - these calls should be ifdefed out since the functions in question
      simply do not exist for CONFIG_SUN4 kernel.

      [PATCH] fix ancient breakage in ebus_init() · cc9bd99e
      Al Viro authored
      Back when pci_dev had base_address[], loop of form
      	base = &...->base_address[0];
      	for (.....) {
      		...
      		*base++ = addr;
      	}
      was fine, but when that array got spread in ->resource[...].start
      replacing the initialization with
      	base = &...->resource[0].start;
      was not a sufficient modification.  IOW this code got broken for cases
      when there had been more than one resource to fill.  All way back in
      2.3.41-pre3...
