SUNRPC: Ensure client closes the socket when server initiates a close

2006-01-06T19:58:57+00:00

 If the server decides to close the RPC socket, we currently don't actually
 respond until either another RPC call is scheduled, or until xprt_autoclose()
 gets called by the socket expiry timer (which may be up to 5 minutes
 later).

 This patch ensures that xprt_autoclose() is called much sooner if the
 server closes the socket.

SUNRPC: transport switch API for setting port number

2006-01-06T19:58:56+00:00

 At some point, transport endpoint addresses will no longer be IPv4.  To hide
 the structure of the rpc_xprt's address field from ULPs and port mappers,
 add an API for setting the port number during an RPC bind operation.

 Test-plan:
 Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily).  Connectathon
 with UDP and TCP.  NFSv2/3 and NFSv4 mounting should be carefully checked.
 Probably need to rig a server where certain services aren't running, or
 that returns an error for some typical operation.

SUNRPC: switchable buffer allocation

2006-01-06T19:58:55+00:00

 Add RPC client transport switch support for replacing buffer management
 on a per-transport basis.

 In the current IPv4 socket transport implementation, RPC buffers are
 allocated as needed for each RPC message that is sent.  Some transport
 implementations may choose to use pre-allocated buffers for encoding,
 sending, receiving, and unmarshalling RPC messages, however.  For
 transports capable of direct data placement, the buffers can be carved
 out of a pre-registered area of memory rather than from a slab cache.

 Test-plan:
 Millions of fsx operations.  Performance characterization with "sio" and
 "iozone".  Use oprofile and other tools to look for significant regression
 in CPU utilization.

SUNRPC: Provide a callback to allow free pages allocated during xdr encoding

2005-10-19T06:19:43+00:00

 For privacy, we need to allocate pages to store the encrypted data (passed
 in pages can't be used without the risk of corrupting data in the page cache).
 So we need a way to free that memory after the request has been transmitted.

RPC: allow call_encode() to delay transmission of an RPC call.

2005-10-18T21:20:11+00:00

 Currently, call_encode will cause the entire RPC call to abort if it returns
 an error. This is unnecessarily rigid, and gets in the way of attempts
 to allow the NFSv4 layer to order RPC calls that carry sequence ids.

[PATCH] RPC: rationalize set_buffer_size

2005-09-23T16:38:55+00:00

 In fact, ->set_buffer_size should be completely functionless for non-UDP.

 Test-plan:
 Check socket buffer size on UDP sockets over time.

[PATCH] RPC: parametrize various transport connect timeouts

2005-09-23T16:38:53+00:00

 Each transport implementation can now set unique bind, connect,
 reestablishment, and idle timeout values.  These are variables,
 allowing the values to be modified dynamically.  This permits
 exponential backoff of any of these values, for instance.

 As an example, we implement exponential backoff for the connection
 reestablishment timeout.

 Test-plan:
 Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily).  Connectathon
 with UDP and TCP.

[PATCH] RPC: allow RPC client's port range to be adjustable

2005-09-23T16:38:50+00:00

 Select an RPC client source port between 650 and 1023 instead of between
 1 and 800.  The old range conflicts with a number of network services.
 Provide sysctls to allow admins to select a different port range.

 Note that this doesn't affect user-level RPC library behavior, which
 still uses 1 to 800.

 Based on a suggestion by Olaf Kirch .

 Test-plan:
 Repeated mount and unmount.  Destructive testing.  Idle timeouts.

[PATCH] RPC: clean up after nocong was removed

2005-09-23T16:38:48+00:00

 Clean-up:  Move some macros that are specific to the Van Jacobson
 implementation into xprt.c.  Get rid of the cong_wait field in
 rpc_xprt, which is no longer used.  Get rid of xprt_clear_backlog.

 Test-plan:
 Compile with CONFIG_NFS enabled.

[PATCH] RPC: remove xprt->nocong

2005-09-23T16:38:47+00:00

 Get rid of the "xprt->nocong" variable.

 Test-plan:
 Use WAN simulation to cause sporadic bursty packet loss with UDP mounts.
 Look for significant regression in performance or client stability.
