<title>Revert "nfsd4: return default lease period"</title>

<id>3bf6b57ec2ec945e5a6edf5c202a754f1e852ecd</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit d6ebf5088f09472c1136cd506bdc27034a6763f8.

I forgot that the kernel's default lease period should never be
decreased!

After a kernel upgrade, the kernel has no way of knowing on its own what
the previous lease time was.  Unless userspace tells it otherwise, it
will assume the previous lease period was the same.

So if we decrease this value in a kernel upgrade, we end up enforcing a
grace period that's too short, and clients will fail to reclaim state in
time.  Symptoms may include EIO and log messages like "NFS:
nfs4_reclaim_open_state: Lock reclaim failed!"

There was no real justification for the lease period decrease anyway.

currently clobber all errors returned by vfs_clone_file_range() and
replace them with EINVAL.

totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.

Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things.  It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing
poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

<title>NFS/NFSD/SUNRPC: replace generic creds with 'struct cred'.</title>

<id>a52458b48af142bcc2b72fe810c0db20cfae7fdd</id>
<content type='text'>
SUNRPC has two sorts of credentials, both of which appear as
"struct rpc_cred".
There are "generic credentials" which are supplied by clients
such as NFS and passed in 'struct rpc_message' to indicate
which user should be used to authorize the request, and there
are low-level credentials such as AUTH_NULL, AUTH_UNIX, AUTH_GSS
which describe the credential to be sent over the wires.

This patch replaces all the generic credentials by 'struct cred'
pointers - the credential structure used throughout Linux.

For machine credentials, there is a special 'struct cred *' pointer
which is statically allocated and recognized where needed as
having a special meaning.  A look-up of a low-level cred will
map this to a machine credential.

When NFS creates a machine credential, it is a "generic" credential,
not tied to any auth protocol, and is really just a container for
the princpal name.
This doesn't get linked to a genuine credential until rpcauth_bindcred()
is called.
The lookup always succeeds, so various places that test if the machine
credential is NULL, are pointless.

As a step towards getting rid of generic credentials, this patch gets
rid of generic machine credentials.  The nfs_client and rpc_client
just hold a pointer to a constant principal name.
When a machine credential is wanted, a special static 'struct rpc_cred'
pointer is used. rpcauth_bindcred() recognizes this, finds the
principal from the client, and binds the correct credential.

Use cred-&gt;fsuid and cred-&gt;fsgid instead.
