SUNRPC: Add rpcauth_list_flavors()

2012-07-16T19:12:15+00:00

The gss_mech_list_pseudoflavors() function provides a list of
currently registered GSS pseudoflavors.  This list does not include
any non-GSS flavors that have been registered with the RPC client.
nfs4_find_root_sec() currently adds these extra flavors by hand.

Instead, nfs4_find_root_sec() should be looking at the set of flavors
that have been explicitly registered via rpcauth_register().  And,
other areas of code will soon need the same kind of list that
contains all flavors the kernel currently knows about (see below).

Rather than cloning the open-coded logic in nfs4_find_root_sec() to
those new places, introduce a generic RPC function that generates a
full list of registered auth flavors and pseudoflavors.

A new rpc_authops method is added that lists a flavor's
pseudoflavors, if it has any.  I encountered an interesting module
loader loop when I tried to get the RPC client to invoke
gss_mech_list_pseudoflavors() by name.

This patch is a pre-requisite for server trunking discovery, and a
pre-requisite for fixing up the in-kernel mount client to do better
automatic security flavor selection.

vmscan: change shrinker API by passing shrink_control struct

2011-05-25T15:39:26+00:00

Change each shrinker's API by consolidating the existing parameters into
shrink_control struct.  This will simplify any further features added w/o
touching each file of shrinker.

SUNRPC: New xdr_streams XDR decoder API

2010-12-16T17:37:25+00:00

Now that all client-side XDR decoder routines use xdr_streams, there
should be no need to support the legacy calling sequence [rpc_rqst *,
__be32 *, RPC res *] anywhere.  We can construct an xdr_stream in the
generic RPC code, instead of in each decoder function.

This is a refactoring change.  It should not cause different behavior.

SUNRPC: New xdr_streams XDR encoder API

2010-12-16T17:37:25+00:00

Now that all client-side XDR encoder routines use xdr_streams, there
should be no need to support the legacy calling sequence [rpc_rqst *,
__be32 *, RPC arg *] anywhere.  We can construct an xdr_stream in the
generic RPC code, instead of in each encoder function.

Also, all the client-side encoder functions return 0 now, making a
return value superfluous.  Take this opportunity to convert them to
return void instead.

This is a refactoring change.  It should not cause different behavior.

This actually causes a build failure on a sparc32 defconfig build:

`rpcauth_remove_module' referenced in section `.init.text' of net/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of net/built-in.o

I applied the following patch for today:

sunrpc: increase MAX_HASHTABLE_BITS to 14

2010-09-12T23:55:26+00:00

The maximum size of the authcache is now set to 1024 (10 bits),
but on our server we need at least 4096 (12 bits). Increase
MAX_HASHTABLE_BITS to 14. This is a maximum of 16384 entries,
each containing a pointer (8 bytes on x86_64). This is
exactly the limit of kmalloc() (128K).
