<title>LOCKD: Don't call utsname()-&gt;nodename from nlmclnt_setlockargs</title>

Firstly, nlmclnt_setlockargs can be called from a reclaimer thread, in
which case we're in entirely the wrong namespace.

Secondly, commit 8aac62706adaaf0fab02c4327761561c8bda9448 (move
exit_task_namespaces() outside of exit_notify()) now means that
exit_task_work() is called after exit_task_namespaces(), which
triggers an Oops when we're freeing up the locks.

Fix this by ensuring that we initialise the nlm_host's rpc_client at mount
time, so that the cl_nodename field is initialised to the value of
utsname()-&gt;nodename that the net namespace uses. Then replace the
lockd callers of utsname()-&gt;nodename.

<title>LOCKD: Ensure that nlmclnt_block resets block-&gt;b_status after a server reboot</title>

<id>1dfd89af8697a299e7982ae740d4695ecd917eef</id>
<content type='text'>
After a server reboot, the reclaimer thread will recover all the existing
locks. For locks that are blocked, however, it will change the value
of block-&gt;b_status to nlm_lck_denied_grace_period in order to signal that
they need to wake up and resend the original blocking lock request.

Due to a bug, however, the block-&gt;b_status never gets reset after the
blocked locks have been woken up, and so the process goes into an
infinite loop of resends until the blocked lock is satisfied.

Pull nfsd changes from J Bruce Fields:
 "Miscellaneous bugfixes, plus:

   - An overhaul of the DRC cache by Jeff Layton.  The main effect is
     just to make it larger.  This decreases the chances of intermittent
     errors especially in the UDP case.  But we'll need to watch for any
     reports of performance regressions.

   - Containerized nfsd: with some limitations, we now support
     per-container nfs-service, thanks to extensive work from Stanislav
     Kinsbursky over the last year."

Some notes about conflicts, since there were *two* non-data semantic
conflicts here:

 - idr_remove_all() had been added by a memory leak fix, but has since
   become deprecated since idr_destroy() does it for us now.

 - xs_local_connect() had been added by this branch to make AF_LOCAL
   connections be synchronous, but in the meantime Trond had changed the
   calling convention in order to avoid a RCU dereference.

There were a couple of more obvious actual source-level conflicts due to
the hlist traversal changes and one just due to code changes next to
each other, but those were trivial.

* 'for-3.9' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux: (49 commits)
  SUNRPC: make AF_LOCAL connect synchronous
  nfsd: fix compiler warning about ambiguous types in nfsd_cache_csum
  svcrpc: fix rpc server shutdown races
  svcrpc: make svc_age_temp_xprts enqueue under sv_lock
  lockd: nlmclnt_reclaim(): avoid stack overflow
  nfsd: enable NFSv4 state in containers
  nfsd: disable usermode helper client tracker in container
  nfsd: use proper net while reading "exports" file
  nfsd: containerize NFSd filesystem
  nfsd: fix comments on nfsd_cache_lookup
  SUNRPC: move cache_detail-&gt;cache_request callback call to cache_read()
  SUNRPC: remove "cache_request" argument in sunrpc_cache_pipe_upcall() function
  SUNRPC: rework cache upcall logic
  SUNRPC: introduce cache_detail-&gt;cache_request callback
  NFS: simplify and clean cache library
  NFS: use SUNRPC cache creation and destruction helper for DNS cache
  nfsd4: free_stid can be static
  nfsd: keep a checksum of the first 256 bytes of request
  sunrpc: trim off trailing checksum before returning decrypted or integrity authenticated buffer
  sunrpc: fix comment in struct xdr_buf definition

Even though nlmclnt_reclaim() is only one call into the stack frame,
928 bytes on the stack seems like a lot. Recode to dynamically
allocate the request structure once from within the reclaimer task,
then pass this pointer into nlmclnt_reclaim() for reuse on
subsequent calls.

smatch analysis:

fs/lockd/clntproc.c:620 nlmclnt_reclaim() warn: 'reqst' puts
 928 bytes on stack

Also remove redundant assignment of 0 after memset.

v2: dereference of most probably already released nlm_host removed in
nlmclnt_done() and reclaimer().

These routines are called from locks reclaimer() kernel thread. This thread
works in "init_net" network context and currently relays on persence on lockd
thread and it's per-net resources. Thus lockd_up() and lockd_down() can't relay
on current network context. So let's pass corrent one into them.

<title>lockd: Create client-side nlm_host cache</title>

NFS clients don't need the garbage collection processing that is
performed on nlm_host structures.  The client picks up an nlm_host at
mount time and holds a reference to it until the file system is
unmounted.

Servers, on the other hand, don't have a precise way to tell when an
nlm_host is no longer being used, so zero refcount nlm_host entries
are left to expire in the cache after a time.

Basically there's nothing holding a reference to an nlm_host between
individual server-side NLM requests, but we can't afford the expense
of recreating them for every new NLM request from a client.  The
nlm_host cache adds some lifetime hysteresis to entries in the cache
so the next time a particular nlm_host is needed, it's likely to be
discovered by a lookup rather than created from whole cloth.

With the new implementation, client nlm_host cache items are no longer
garbage collected, and are destroyed directly by a new release
function specialized for client entries, nlmclnt_release_host().  They
are cached in their own data structure, and have their own lookup
logic, simplified and specialized for client nlm_host entries.

However, the client nlm_host cache still shares reboot recovery logic
with the server nlm_host cache.  The NSM "peer rebooted" downcall for
clients and servers still come through the same RPC call.  This is a
legacy formal API that would be difficult to alter, and besides, the
user space NSM implementation can't tell the difference between peers
that are clients or servers.

For this reason, the client cache continues to share the
nlm_host_mutex (and reboot recovery logic) with the server cache.
