2010-09-22lockd: Remove BKL from the clientBryan Schumaker
This patch removes all calls to lock_kernel() from the client. This patch should be applied after the "fs/lock.c prepare for BKL removal" patch submitted by Arnd Bergmann on September 18.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-06-17lockd: Update NSM state from SM_MON repliesChuck Lever
When rpc.statd starts up in user space at boot time, it attempts to write the latest NSM local state number into /proc/sys/fs/nfs/nsm_local_state. If lockd.ko isn't loaded yet (as is the case in most configurations), that file doesn't exist, thus the kernel's NSM state remains set to its initial value of zero during lockd operation. This is a problem because rpc.statd and lockd use the NSM state number to prevent repeated lock recovery on rebooted hosts. If lockd sends a zero NSM state, but then a delayed SM_NOTIFY with a real NSM state number is received, there is no way for lockd or rpc.statd to distinguish that stale SM_NOTIFY from an actual reboot. Thus lock recovery could be performed after the rebooted host has already started reclaiming locks, and those locks will be lost. We could change /etc/init.d/nfslock so it always modprobes lockd.ko before starting rpc.statd. However, if lockd.ko is ever unloaded and reloaded, we are back at square one, since the NSM state is not preserved across an unload/reload cycle. This may happen frequently on clients that use automounter. A period of NFS inactivity causes lockd.ko to be unloaded, and the kernel loses its NSM state setting. Instead, let's use the fact that rpc.statd plants the local system's NSM state in every SM_MON (and SM_UNMON) reply. lockd performs a synchronous SM_MON upcall to the local rpc.statd _before_ sending its first NLM request to a new remote. This would permit rpc.statd to provide the current NSM state to lockd, even after lockd.ko had been unloaded and reloaded. Note that NLMPROC_LOCK arguments are constructed before the nsm_monitor() call, so we have to rearrange argument construction very slightly to make this all work out. And, the kernel appears to treat NSM state as a u32 (see struct nlm_args and nsm_res). Make nsm_local_state a u32 as well, to ensure we don't get bogus comparison results.

2008-07-15nfs: set correct fl_len in nlmclnt_test()Felix Blyakher

If the conflicting lock is (0, 4095) the F_GETLK request for (1024, 10) returns (0, 1), which doesn't even cover the requested range, and is quite confusing.

2008-04-19NLM/lockd: convert __nlm_async_call to use rpc_run_task()Trond Myklebust
Peter Staubach comments: > In the course of investigating testing failures in the locking phase of > the Connectathon testsuite, I discovered a couple of things. One was > that one of the tests in the locking tests was racy when it didn't seem > to need to be and two, that the NFS client asynchronously releases locks > when a process is exiting. ... > The Single UNIX Specification Version 3 specifies that: "All locks > associated with a file for a given process shall be removed when a file > descriptor for that file is closed by that process or the process holding > that file descriptor terminates.". > > This does not specify whether those locks must be released prior to the > completion of the exit processing for the process or not. However, > general assumptions seem to be that those locks will be released. This > leads to more deterministic behavior under normal circumstances. The following patch converts the NFSv2/v3 locking code to use the same mechanism as NFSv4 for sending asynchronous RPC calls and then waiting for them to complete. This ensures that the UNLOCK and CANCEL RPC calls will complete even if the user interrupts the call, yet satisfies the above request for synchronous behaviour on process exit.

2008-01-30NLM/NFS: Use cached nlm_host when calling nlmclnt_proc()Chuck Lever
Now that each NFS mount point caches its own nlm_host structure, it can be passed to nlmclnt_proc() for each lock request. By pinning an nlm_host for each mount point, we trade the overhead of looking up or creating a fresh nlm_host struct during every NLM procedure call for a little extra memory. We also restrict the nlmclnt_proc symbol to limit the use of this call to in-tree modules. Note that nlm_lookup_host() (just removed from the client's per-request NLM processing) could also trigger an nlm_host garbage collection. Now client-side nlm_host garbage collection occurs only during NFS mount processing. Since the NFS client now holds a reference on these nlm_host structures, they wouldn't have been affected by garbage collection anyway. Given that nlm_lookup_host() reorders the global nlm_host chain after every successful lookup, and that a garbage collection could be triggered during the call, we've removed a significant amount of per-NLM-request CPU processing overhead. Sidebar: there are only a few remaining references to the internals of NFS inodes in the client-side NLM code. The only references I found are related to extracting or comparing the inode's file handle via NFS_FH(). One is in nlmclnt_grant(); the other is in nlmclnt_setlockargs().
