commit 4bc1e68ed6a8b59be8a79eb719be515a55c7bc68 upstream.

The call to xprt_disconnect_done() that is triggered by a successful
connection reset will trigger another automatic wakeup of all tasks
on the xprt-&gt;pending rpc_wait_queue. In particular it will cause an
early wake up of the task that called xprt_connect().

All we really want to do here is clear all the socket-specific state
flags, so we split that functionality out of xs_sock_mark_closed()
into a helper that can be called by xs_abort_connection()

commit b9d2bb2ee537424a7f855e1f93eed44eb9ee0854 upstream.

This reverts commit 55420c24a0d4d1fce70ca713f84aa00b6b74a70e.
Now that we clear the connected flag when entering TCP_CLOSE_WAIT,
the deadlock described in this commit is no longer possible.
Instead, the resulting call to xs_tcp_shutdown() can interfere
with pending reconnection attempts.

commit f878b657ce8e7d3673afe48110ec208a29e38c4a upstream.

Chris Perl reports that we're seeing races between the wakeup call in
xs_error_report and the connect attempts. Basically, Chris has shown
that in certain circumstances, the call to xs_error_report causes the
rpc_task that is responsible for reconnecting to wake up early, thus
triggering a disconnect and retry.

Since the sk-&gt;sk_error_report() calls in the socket layer are always
followed by a tcp_done() in the cases where we care about waking up
the rpc_tasks, just let the state_change callbacks take responsibility
for those wake ups.

commit f39c1bfb5a03e2d255451bff05be0d7255298fa4 and
commit 84e28a307e376f271505af65a7b7e212dd6f61f4 upstream.

Commit 43cedbf0e8dfb9c5610eb7985d5f21263e313802 (SUNRPC: Ensure that
we grab the XPRT_LOCK before calling xprt_alloc_slot) is causing
hangs in the case of NFS over UDP mounts.

Since neither the UDP or the RDMA transport mechanism use dynamic slot
allocation, we can skip grabbing the socket lock for those transports.
Add a new rpc_xprt_op to allow switching between the TCP and UDP/RDMA
case.

Note that the NFSv4.1 back channel assigns the slot directly
through rpc_run_bc_task, so we can ignore that case.

commit a519fc7a70d1a918574bb826cc6905b87b482eb9 upstream.

Instead of doing a shutdown() call, we need to do an actual close().
Ditto if/when the server is sending us junk RPC headers.

rpciod is trying to allocate memory for a new socket to talk to the
server. The VM ends up calling -&gt;releasepage to get more memory, and it
tries to do a blocking commit. That commit can't succeed however without
a connected socket, so we deadlock.

Fix this by setting PF_FSTRANS on the workqueue task prior to doing the
socket allocation, and having nfs_release_page check for that flag when
deciding whether to do a commit call. Also, set PF_FSTRANS
unconditionally in rpc_async_schedule since that function can also do
allocations sometimes.

There's obviously no point to doing portmap calls over the sessions
backchannel.

net/sunrpc/svcsock.c:412:22: warning: incorrect type in assignment
(different address spaces)
 - svc_partial_recvfrom now takes a struct kvec, so the variable
   save_iovbase needs to be an ordinary (void *)

Make a bunch of variables in net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c static

Fix a couple of "warning: symbol 'foo' was not declared. Should it be
static?" reports.

Fix a couple of conflicting function declarations.

<title>SUNRPC: add sending,pending queue and max slot to xprt stats</title>

<content type='text'>
With static RPC slots, the xprt backlog queue stats were useful in showing
when the transport (TCP) was starved by lack of RPC slots. The new dynamic
RPC slot code, commit d9ba131d8f58c0d2ff5029e7002ab43f913b36f9, always
provides an RPC slot and so only uses the xprt backlog queue when the
tcp_max_slot_table_entries value has been hit or when an allocation error
occurs. All requests are now placed on the xprt sending or pending queue which
need to be monitored for debugging.

The max_slot stat shows the maximum number of dynamic RPC slots reached which is
useful when debugging performance issues.

Add the new fields at the end of the mountstats xprt stanza so that mountstats
outputs the previous correct values and ignores the new fields. Bump
NFS_IOSTATS_VERS.
