<title>SUNRPC: Allow RPCs to fail quickly if the server is unreachable</title>

<content type='text'>
The kernel sometimes makes RPC calls to services that aren't running.
Because the kernel's RPC client always assumes the hard retry semantic
when reconnecting a connection-oriented RPC transport, the underlying
reconnect logic takes a long while to time out, even though the remote
may have responded immediately with ECONNREFUSED.

In certain cases, like upcalls to our local rpcbind daemon, or for NFS
mount requests, we'd like the kernel to fail immediately if the remote
service isn't reachable.  This allows another transport to be tried
immediately, or the pending request can be abandoned quickly.

Introduce a per-request flag which controls how call_transmit_status()
behaves when request transmission fails because the server cannot be
reached.

We don't want soft connection semantics to apply to other errors.  The
default case of the switch statement in call_transmit_status() no
longer falls through; the fall through code is copied to the default
case, and a "break;" is added.

The transport's connection re-establishment timeout is also ignored for
such requests.  We want the request to fail immediately, so the
reconnect delay is skipped.  Additionally, we don't want a connect
failure here to further increase the reconnect timeout value, since
this request will not be retried.

<title>nfs41: Add backchannel processing support to RPC state machine</title>
<updated>2009-06-17T21:11:24+00:00</updated>

<id>55ae1aabfb108106dd095de2578ceef1c755a8b8</id>
<content type='text'>
Adds rpc_run_bc_task() which is called by the NFS callback service to
process backchannel requests.  It performs similar work to rpc_run_task()
though "schedules" the backchannel task to be executed starting at the
call_trasmit state in the RPC state machine.

It also introduces some miscellaneous updates to the argument validation,
call_transmit, and transport cleanup functions to take into account
that there are now forechannel and backchannel tasks.

Backchannel requests do not carry an RPC message structure, since the
payload has already been XDR encoded using the existing NFSv4 callback
mechanism.

Introduce a new transmit state for the client to reply on to backchannel
requests.  This new state simply reserves the transport and issues the
reply.  In case of a connection related error, disconnects the transport and
drops the reply.  It requires the forechannel to re-establish the connection
and the server to retransmit the request, as stated in NFSv4.1 section
2.9.2 "Client and Server Transport Behavior".

Note: There is no need to loop attempting to reserve the transport.  If EAGAIN
is returned by xprt_prepare_transmit(), return with tk_status == 0,
setting tk_action to call_bc_transmit.  rpc_execute() will invoke it again
after the task is taken off the sleep queue.

Also, this macro definition seems unnecessary.

This is designed to replace the timeout timer in the individual rpc_tasks.
By putting the timer function in the wait queue, we will eventually be able
to reduce the total number of timers in use by the RPC subsystem.
