For the 'files' and 'flexfiles' layout types, we do not expect the reply
to be any larger than 4k. The block and scsi layout types are a little more
greedy, so we keep allocating the maximum response size for now.

Add a bvec array to struct xdr_buf, and have the client allocate it
when we need to receive data into pages.
Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>
If the RPC call relies on the receive call allocating pages as buffers,
then let's label it so that we
a) Don't leak memory by allocating pages for requests that do not expect
this behaviour
b) Can optimise for the common case where calls do not require allocation.

We no longer need priority semantics on the xprt->sending queue, because
the order in which tasks are sent is now dictated by their position in
the send queue.
Note that the backlog queue remains a priority queue, meaning that
slot resources are still managed in order of task priority.
Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>
Fix up the priority queue to not batch by owner, but by queue, so that
we allow '1 << priority' elements to be dequeued before switching to
the next priority queue.
The owner field is still used to wake up requests in round robin order
by owner to avoid single processes hogging the RPC layer by loading the
queues.

If the server is slow, we can find ourselves with quite a lot of entries
on the receive queue. Converting the search from an O(n) to O(log(n))
can make a significant difference, particularly since we have to hold
a number of locks while searching.

Treat socket write space handling in the same way we now treat transport
congestion: by denying the XPRT_LOCK until the transport signals that it

The theory was that we would need to grab the socket lock anyway, so we
might as well use it to gate the allocation of RPC slots for a TCP
socket.

Rather than forcing each and every RPC task to grab the socket write
lock in order to send itself, we allow whichever task is holding the
write lock to attempt to drain the entire transmit queue.

Avoid memory starvation by giving RPCs that are tagged with the
RPC_TASK_SWAPPER flag the highest priority.
Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>
Both RDMA and UDP transports require the request to get a "congestion control"
credit before they can be transmitted. Right now, this is done when
the request locks the socket. We'd like it to happen when a request attempts
to be transmitted for the first time.
In order to support retransmission of requests that already hold such
credits, we also want to ensure that they get queued first, so that we
don't deadlock with requests that have yet to obtain a credit.

One of the intentions with the priority queues was to ensure that no
single process can hog the transport. The field task->tk_owner therefore
identifies the RPC call's origin, and is intended to allow the RPC layer
to organise queues for fairness.
This commit therefore modifies the transmit queue to group requests
by task->tk_owner, and ensures that we round robin among those groups.

Remove the checks for whether or not we need to transmit, and whether

Fix up the back channel code to recognise that it has already been

When storing a struct rpc_rqst on the slot allocation list, we currently
use the same field 'rq_list' as we use to store the request on the
receive queue. Since the structure is never on both lists at the same
time, this is OK.
However, for clarity, let's make that a union with different names for
the different lists so that we can more easily distinguish between
the two states.

Allow the caller in clnt.c to call into the code to wait for a reply
after calling xprt_transmit(). Again, the reason is that the backchannel
code does not need this functionality.

If the previous message was only partially transmitted, we need to close
the socket in order to avoid corruption of the message stream. To do so,
we currently hijack the unlocking of the socket in order to schedule
the close.
Now that we track the message offset in the socket state, we can move
that kind of checking out of the socket lock code, which is needed to
allow messages to remain queued after dropping the socket lock.

Currently, we grab the socket bit lock before we allow the message
to be XDR encoded. That significantly slows down the transmission
rate, since we serialise on a potentially blocking operation.
Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>
If a message has been encoded using RPCSEC_GSS, the server is
maintaining a window of sequence numbers that it considers valid.
The client should normally be tracking that window, and needs to
verify that the sequence number used by the message being transmitted
still lies inside the window of validity.
So far, we've been able to assume this condition would be realised
automatically, since the client has been encoding the message only
after taking the socket lock. Once we change that condition, we
will need the explicit check.
