fc0f684c21 NFS: Remove BKL from NFS lookup code
All dentry-related operations are already BKL-safe, since they are
protected by the VFS locking. No extra locks should be needed in the NFS
code.

In the case of nfs_revalidate_inode(), we're only doing an attribute
update (protected by the inode->i_lock).
In the case of nfs_lookup(), we're instantiating a new dentry, so there
should be no contention possible until after we call d_materialise_unique.

a3d01454bc NFS: Remove BKL requirement from attribute updates
The main problem is dealing with inode->i_size: we need to set the
inode->i_lock on all attribute updates, and so vmtruncate won't cut it.
Make an NFS-private version of vmtruncate that has the necessary locking
semantics.

The result should be that the following inode attribute updates are
protected by inode->i_lock
	nfsi->cache_validity
	nfsi->read_cache_jiffies
	nfsi->attrtimeo
	nfsi->attrtimeo_timestamp
	nfsi->change_attr
	nfsi->last_updated
	nfsi->cache_change_attribute
	nfsi->access_cache
	nfsi->access_cache_entry_lru
	nfsi->access_cache_inode_lru

	inode->i_size
	inode->i_atime
	inode->i_mtime
	inode->i_ctime
	inode->i_nlink

d67d1c7bf9 nfs: set correct fl_len in nlmclnt_test()
fcntl(F_GETLK) on an nfs client incorrectly returns
the values for the conflicting lock. fl_len value is
always 1.
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.
The fix is trivial, set fl_end from the fl_end value
recieved from the nfs server.

c2e1b09ff2 SUNRPC: Support registering IPv6 interfaces with local rpcbind daemon
Introduce a new API to register RPC services on IPv6 interfaces to allow
the NFS server and lockd to advertise on IPv6 networks.

Unlike rpcb_register(), the new rpcb_v4_register() function uses rpcbind
protocol version 4 to contact the local rpcbind daemon.  The version 4
SET/UNSET procedures allow services to register address families besides
AF_INET, register at specific network interfaces, and register transport
protocols besides UDP and TCP.  All of this functionality is exposed via
the new rpcb_v4_register() kernel API.

A user-space rpcbind daemon implementation that supports version 4 of the
rpcbind protocol is required in order to make use of this new API.

Note that rpcbind version 3 is sufficient to support the new rpcbind
facilities listed above, but most extant implementations use version 4.

f45663ce5f NFS: Allow either strict or sloppy mount option parsing
The kernel's NFS client mount option parser currently doesn't allow
unrecognized or incorrect mount options.  This prevents misspellings or
incorrectly specified mount options from possibly causing silent data
corruption.

However, NFS mount options are not standardized, so different operating
systems can use differently spelled mount options to support similar
features, or can support mount options which no other operating system
supports.

"Sloppy" mount option parsing, which allows the parser to ignore any
option it doesn't recognize, is needed to support automounters that often
use maps that are shared between heterogenous operating systems.

The legacy mount command ignores the validity of the values of mount
options entirely, except for the "sec=" and "proto=" options.  If an
incorrect value is specified, the out-of-range value is passed to the
kernel; if a value is specified that contains non-numeric characters,
it appears as though the legacy mount command sets that option to zero
(probably incorrect behavior in general).

In any case, this sets a precedent which we will partially follow for
the kernel mount option parser:

	+ if "sloppy" is not set, the parser will be strict about both
	  unrecognized options (same as legacy) and invalid option
	  values (stricter than legacy)

	+ if "sloppy" is set, the parser will ignore unrecognized
	  options and invalid option values (same as legacy)

An "invalid" option value in this case means that either the type
(integer, short, or string) or sign (for integer values) of the specified
value is incorrect.

This patch does two things: it changes the NFS client's mount option
parsing loop so that it parses the whole string instead of failing at
the first unrecognized option or invalid option value.  An unrecognized
option or an invalid option value cause the option to be skipped.

Then, the patch adds a "sloppy" mount option that allows the parsing
to succeed anyway if there were any problems during parsing.  When
parsing a set of options is complete, if there are errors and "sloppy"
was specified, return success anyway.  Otherwise, only return success
if there are no errors.

40fef8a649 SUNRPC: Use only rpcbind v2 for AF_INET requests
Some server vendors support the higher versions of rpcbind only for
AF_INET6.  The kernel doesn't need to use v3 or v4 for AF_INET anyway,
so change the kernel's rpcbind client to query AF_INET servers over
rpcbind v2 only.

This has a few interesting benefits:

1. If the rpcbind request is going over TCP, and the server doesn't
   support rpcbind versions 3 or 4, the client reduces by two the number
   of ephemeral ports left in TIME_WAIT for each rpcbind request.  This
   will help during NFS mount storms.

2. The rpcbind interaction with servers that don't support rpcbind
   versions 3 or 4 will use less network traffic.  Also helpful
   during mount storms.

3. We can eliminate the kernel build option that controls whether the
   kernel's rpcbind client uses rpcbind version 3 and 4 for AF_INET
   servers.  Less complicated kernel configuration...

		*timeout = NFS4_POLL_RETRY_MIN;

d8e7748ab8 NFS: handle interface identifiers in incoming IPv6 addresses
Add support in the kernel NFS client's address parser for interface
identifiers.

IPv6 link-local addresses require an additional "interface identifier",
which is a network device name or an integer that indexes the array of
local network interfaces.  They are suffixed to the address with a '%'.
For example:

	fe80::215:c5ff:fe3b:e1b2%2

indicates an interface index of 2.  Or

	fe80::215:c5ff:fe3b:e1b2%eth0

indicates that requests should be routed through the eth0 device.
Without the interface ID, link-local addresses are not usable for NFS.

Both the kernel NFS client mount option parser and the mount.nfs command
can take either form.  The mount.nfs command always passes the address
through getnameinfo(3), which usually re-writes interface indices as
device names.

d1aa082573 NFS: Support raw IPv6 address hostnames during NFS mount operation
Traditionally the mount command has looked for a ":" to separate the
server's hostname from the export path in the mounted on device name,
like this:

	mount server:/export /mounted/on/dir

The server's hostname is "server" and the export path is "/export".

You can also substitute a specific IPv4 network address for the server
hostname, like this:

	mount 192.168.0.55:/export /mounted/on/dir

Raw IPv6 addresses present a problem, however, because they look
something like this:

	fe80::200:5aff:fe00:30b

Note the use of colons.

To get around the presence of colons, copy the Solaris convention used for
mounting IPv6 servers by address: wrap a raw IPv6 address with square
brackets.

Also address a handful of coding style issues called out by checkpatch.pl in
fs/nfs/iostat.h.

46cb650c22 NFS: Remove the redundant file_open entry from struct nfs_rpc_ops
All instances are set to nfs_open(), so we should just remove the redundant
indirection. Ditto for the file_release op

b22602a673 SUNRPC: Ensure all transports set rq_xtime consistently
The RPC client uses the rq_xtime field in each RPC request to determine the
round-trip time of the request.  Currently, the rq_xtime field is
initialized by each transport just before it starts enqueing a request to
be sent.  However, transports do not handle initializing this value
consistently; sometimes they don't initialize it at all.

To make the measurement of request round-trip time consistent for all
RPC client transport capabilities, pull rq_xtime initialization into the
RPC client's generic transport logic.  Now all transports will get a
standardized RTT measure automatically, from:

  xprt_transmit()

to

  xprt_complete_rqst()

This makes round-trip time calculation more accurate for the TCP transport.
The socket ->sendmsg() method can return "-EAGAIN" if the socket's output
buffer is full, so the TCP transport's ->send_request() method may call
the ->sendmsg() method repeatedly until it gets all of the request's bytes
queued in the socket's buffer.

Currently, the TCP transport sets the rq_xtime field every time through
that loop so the final value is the timestamp just before the *last* call
to the underlying socket's ->sendmsg() method.  After this patch, the
rq_xtime field contains a timestamp that reflects the time just before the
*first* call to ->sendmsg().

This is consequential under heavy workloads because large requests often
take multiple ->sendmsg() calls to get all the bytes of a request queued.
The TCP transport causes the request to sleep until the remote end of the
socket has received enough bytes to clear space in the socket's local
output buffer.  This delay can be quite significant.

The method introduced by this patch is a more accurate measure of RTT
for stream transports, since the server can cause enough back pressure
to delay (ie increase the latency of) requests from the client.

Additionally, this patch corrects the behavior of the RDMA transport, which
entirely neglected to initialize the rq_xtime field.  RPC performance
metrics for RDMA transports now display correct RPC request round trip
times.

Try to make the comment here a little more clear and concise.

Also, this macro definition seems unnecessary.
