2011-11-26nfs: when attempting to open a directory, fall back on normal lookup (try #5)Jeff Layton
commit 1788ea6e3b2a58cf4fb00206e362d9caff8d86a7 upstream. commit d953126 changed how nfs_atomic_lookup handles an -EISDIR return from an OPEN call. Prior to that patch, that caused the client to fall back to doing a normal lookup. When that patch went in, the code began returning that error to userspace. The d_revalidate codepath however never had the corresponding change, so it was still possible to end up with a NULL ctx->state pointer after that. That patch caused a regression. When we attempt to open a directory that does not have a cached dentry, that open now errors out with EISDIR. If you attempt the same open with a cached dentry, it will succeed. Fix this by reverting the change in nfs_atomic_lookup and allowing attempts to open directories to fall back to a normal lookup Also, add a NFSv4-specific f_ops->open routine that just returns -ENOTDIR. This should never be called if things are working properly, but if it ever is, then the dprintk may help in debugging. To facilitate this, a new file_operations field is also added to the nfs_rpc_ops struct.

2011-06-15NFSv4.1: allow nfs_fhget to succeed with mounted on fileidAndy Adamson
Commit 28331a46d88459788c8fca72dbb0415cd7f514c9 "Ensure we request the ordinary fileid when doing readdirplus" changed the meaning of NFS_ATTR_FATTR_FILEID which used to be set when FATTR4_WORD1_MOUNTED_ON_FILED was requested. Allow nfs_fhget to succeed with only a mounted on fileid when crossing a mountpoint or a referral. Ask for the fileid of the absent file system if mounted_on_fileid is not supported.

2011-06-15NFS41: do not update isize if inode needs layoutcommitPeng Tao
nfs_update_inode will update isize if there is no queued pages. For pNFS, layoutcommit is supposed to change file size on server, the same effect as queued pages. nfs_update_inode may be called when dirty pages are written back (nfsi->npages==0) but layoutcommit is not sent, and it will change client file size according to server file size. Then client ends up losing what it just writes back in pNFS path. So we should skip updating client file size if file needs layoutcommit.

2011-01-07fs: icache RCU free inodesNick Piggin
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-06pnfs: change how lsegs are removed from layout listFred Isaman
This is to prepare the way for sensible io draining. Instead of just removing the lseg from the list, we instead clear the VALID flag (preventing new io from grabbing references to the lseg) and remove the reference holding it in the list. Thus the lseg will be removed once any io in progress completes and any references still held are dropped.

We need to ensure that the entries in the nfs_cache_array get cleared when the page is removed from the page cache. To do so, we use the freepage address_space operation.

Finally, modify the cache_page_release helper to call nfs_readdir_clear_array directly, when dealing with an anonymous page from 'uncached_readdir'.

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.

Similar to the fsync issue fixed a while ago in commit 2daea67e966dc0c42067ebea015ddac6834cef88 we need to write for data to actually hit the disk before writing out the metadata to guarantee data integrity for filesystems that modify the inode in the data I/O completion path. Currently XFS and NFS handle this manually, and AFS has a write_inode method that does nothing but waiting for data, while others are possibly missing out on this. Fortunately this change has a lot less impact than the fsync change as none of the write_inode methods starts data writeout of any form by itself.

For NFSv2 and v3: O_DIRECT writes are always synchronous, and aren't cached, so nothing should be flushed when closing an NFS O_DIRECT file descriptor. Thus there are no write errors to report on close(2). In addition, there's no cached data to verify on the next open(2), so we don't need clean GETATTR results at close time to compare with. Thus, there's no need for the nfs_revalidate_inode() call when closing an NFS O_DIRECT file. This reduces the number of synchronous on-the-wire requests for a simple open-write-close of an NFS O_DIRECT file by roughly 20%. For NFSv4: Call nfs4_do_close() with wait set to zero when closing an NFS O_DIRECT file. The CLOSE will go on the wire, but the application won't wait for it to complete.
