We currently revoke read delegations on any write open or any operation
that modifies file data or metadata (including rename, link, and
unlink). But if the delegation in question is the only read delegation
and is held by the client performing the operation, that's not really
necessary.
It's not always possible to prevent this in the NFSv4.0 case, because
there's not always a way to determine which client an NFSv4.0 delegation
came from. (In theory we could try to guess this from the transport
layer, e.g., by assuming all traffic on a given TCP connection comes
from the same client. But that's not really correct.)
In the NFSv4.1 case the session layer always tells us the client.
This patch should remove such self-conflicts in all cases where we can
reliably determine the client from the compound.
To do that we need to track "who" is performing a given (possibly
lease-breaking) file operation. We're doing that by storing the
information in the svc_rqst and using kthread_data() to map the current
task back to a svc_rqst.

Currently, nfsd4_encode_exchange_id() encodes the utsname nodename
string in the server_scope field. In a multi-host container
environemnt, if an nfsd container is restarted on a different host than
it was originally running on, clients will see a server_scope mismatch
and will not attempt to reclaim opens.
Instead, set the server_scope while we're in a process context during
service startup, so we get the utsname nodename of the current process
and store that in nfsd_net.

The raparms cache was set up in order to ensure that we carry readahead
information forward from one RPC call to the next. In other words, it
was set up because each RPC call was forced to open a struct file, then
close it, causing the loss of readahead information that is normally
cached in that struct file, and used to keep the page cache filled when
a user calls read() multiple times on the same file descriptor.
Now that we cache the struct file, and reuse it for all the I/O calls
to a given file by a given user, we no longer have to keep a separate
readahead cache.

Currently, NFSv2/3 reads and writes have to open a file, do the read or
write and then close it again for each RPC. This is highly inefficient,
especially when the underlying filesystem has a relatively slow open
routine.
This patch adds a new open file cache to knfsd. Rather than doing an
open for each RPC, the read/write handlers can call into this cache to
see if there is one already there for the correct filehandle and
NFS_MAY_READ/WRITE flags.
If there isn't an entry, then we create a new one and attempt to
perform the open. If there is, then we wait until the entry is fully
instantiated and return it if it is at the end of the wait. If it's
not, then we attempt to take over construction.
Since the main goal is to speed up NFSv2/3 I/O, we don't want to
close these files on last put of these objects. We need to keep them
around for a little while since we never know when the next READ/WRITE
will come in.
Cache entries have a hardcoded 1s timeout, and we have a recurring
workqueue job that walks the cache and purges any entries that have
expired.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

An NFSv4.1+ client negotiates the size of its duplicate reply cache size
in the initial CREATE_SESSION request. The server preallocates the
memory for the duplicate reply cache to ensure that we'll never fail to
record the response to a nonidempotent operation.
To prevent a few CREATE_SESSIONs from consuming all of memory we set an
upper limit based on nr_free_buffer_pages(). 1/2^10 has been too

A client can append random data to the end of an NFSv2 or NFSv3 RPC call
without our complaining; we'll just stop parsing at the end of the
expected data and ignore the rest.
Encoded arguments and replies are stored together in an array of pages,
and if a call is too large it could leave inadequate space for the
reply. This is normally OK because NFS RPC's typically have either
short arguments and long replies (like READ) or long arguments and short
replies (like WRITE). But a client that sends an incorrectly long reply
can violate those assumptions. This was observed to cause crashes.
Also, several operations increment rq_next_page in the decode routine
before checking the argument size, which can leave rq_next_page pointing
well past the end of the page array, causing trouble later in
svc_free_pages.
So, following a suggestion from Neil Brown, add a central check to
enforce our expectation that no NFSv2/v3 call has both a large call and
a large reply.
As followup we may also want to rewrite the encoding routines to check
more carefully that they aren't running off the end of the page array.
We may also consider rejecting calls that have any extra garbage
appended. That would be safer, and within our rights by spec, but given
the age of our server and the NFS protocol, and the fact that we've
never enforced this before, we may need to balance that against the
possibility of breaking some oddball client.

Currently, the maximum number of connections that nfsd will allow
is based on the number of threads spawned. While this is fine for a
default, there really isn't a clear relationship between the two.
The number of threads corresponds to the number of concurrent requests
that we want to allow the server to process at any given time. The
connection limit corresponds to the maximum number of clients that we
want to allow the server to handle. These are two entirely different
quantities.
Break the dependency on increasing threads in order to allow for more
connections, by adding a new per-net parameter that can be set to a
non-zero value. The default is still to base it on the number of threads,
so there should be no behavior change for anyone who doesn't use it.

PF_LESS_THROTTLE has a very specific use case: to avoid deadlocks
and live-locks while writing to the page cache in a loop-back
NFS mount situation.
It therefore makes sense to *only* set PF_LESS_THROTTLE in this
situation.
We now know when a request came from the local-host so it could be a
loop-back mount. We already know when we are handling write requests,
and when we are doing anything else.
So combine those two to allow nfsd to still be throttled (like any
other process) in every situation except when it is known to be
problematic.

Pull nfsd changes from J Bruce Fields:
"Miscellaneous bugfixes, plus:
- An overhaul of the DRC cache by Jeff Layton. The main effect is
just to make it larger. This decreases the chances of intermittent
errors especially in the UDP case. But we'll need to watch for any
reports of performance regressions.
- Containerized nfsd: with some limitations, we now support
per-container nfs-service, thanks to extensive work from Stanislav
Kinsbursky over the last year."
Some notes about conflicts, since there were *two* non-data semantic
conflicts here:
- idr_remove_all() had been added by a memory leak fix, but has since
become deprecated since idr_destroy() does it for us now.
- xs_local_connect() had been added by this branch to make AF_LOCAL
connections be synchronous, but in the meantime Trond had changed the
calling convention in order to avoid a RCU dereference.
There were a couple of more obvious actual source-level conflicts due to
the hlist traversal changes and one just due to code changes next to
each other, but those were trivial.

This patch makes main step in NFSd containerisation.
There could be different approaches to how to make NFSd able to handle
incoming RPC request from different network namespaces. The two main
options are:
1) Share NFSd kthreads betwween all network namespaces.
2) Create separated pool of threads for each namespace.
While first approach looks more flexible, second one is simpler and
non-racy. This patch implements the second option.
To make it possible to allocate separate pools of threads, we have to
make it possible to allocate separate NFSd service structures per net.

Commit 59db4a0c10 "nfsd: move more into
nfsd_startup()" inadvertently moved nfsd_versions after
nfsd_create_svc(). On older distributions using an rpc.nfsd that does
not explicitly set the list of nfsd versions, this results in
svc-create_pooled() being called with an empty versions array. The
resulting incomplete initialization leads to a NULL dereference in
svc_process_common() the first time a client accesses the server.
Move nfsd_reset_versions() back before the svc_create_pooled(); this
time, put it closer to the svc_create_pooled() call, to make this
mistake more difficult in the future.

Use NFSD_SLOT_CACHE_SIZE size buffers for sessions DRC instead of holding nfsd
pages in cache.
Connectathon testing has shown that 1024 bytes for encoded compound operation
responses past the sequence operation is sufficient, 512 bytes is a little too
small. Set NFSD_SLOT_CACHE_SIZE to 1024.
Allocate memory for the session DRC in the CREATE_SESSION operation
to guarantee that the memory resource is available for caching responses.
Allocate each slot individually in preparation for slot table size negotiation.
Remove struct nfsd4_cache_entry and helper functions for the old page-based
DRC.
The iov_len calculation in nfs4svc_encode_compoundres is now always
correct. Replay is now done in nfsd4_sequence under the state lock, so
the session ref count is only bumped on non-replay. Clean up the
nfs4svc_encode_compoundres session logic.
The nfsd4_compound_state statp pointer is also not used.
Remove nfsd4_set_statp().
Move useful nfsd4_cache_entry fields into nfsd4_slot.

Currently when we write a number to 'threads' in nfsdfs,
we take the nfsd_mutex, update the number of threads, then take the
mutex again to read the number of threads.
Mostly this isn't a big deal. However if we are write '0', and
portmap happens to be dead, then we can get unpredictable behaviour.
If the nfsd threads all got killed quickly and the last thread is
waiting for portmap to respond, then the second time we take the mutex
we will block waiting for the last thread.
However if the nfsd threads didn't die quite that fast, then there
will be no contention when we try to take the mutex again.
Unpredictability isn't fun, and waiting for the last thread to exit is
pointless, so avoid taking the lock twice.
To achieve this, get nfsd_svc return a non-negative number of active
threads when not returning a negative error.

Stop gathering the data that feeds the 'th' line in /proc/net/rpc/nfsd
because the questionable data provided is not worth the scalability
impact of calculating it. Instead, always report zeroes. The current
approach suffers from three major issues:
1. update_thread_usage() increments buckets by call service
time or call arrival time...in jiffies. On lightly loaded
machines, call service times are usually < 1 jiffy; on
heavily loaded machines call arrival times will be << 1 jiffy.
So a large portion of the updates to the buckets are rounded
down to zero, and the histogram is undercounting.
2. As seen previously on the nfs mailing list, the format in which
the histogram is presented is cryptic, difficult to explain,
and difficult to use.
3. Updating the histogram requires taking a global spinlock and
dirtying the global variables nfsd_last_call, nfsd_busy, and
nfsdstats *twice* on every RPC call, which is a significant
scaling limitation.
Testing on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients each doing
1K streaming reads at full line rate, shows the stats update code
(inlined into nfsd()) takes about 1.7% of each CPU. This patch drops
the contribution from nfsd() into the profile noise.
This patch is a forward-ported version of knfsd-remove-nfsd-threadstats
which has been shipping in the SGI "Enhanced NFS" product since 2006.
In that time, exactly one customer has noticed that the threadstats
were missing. It has been previously posted:

The Linux NFS server can be started via a user-space write to
/proc/fs/nfs/threads or to /proc/fs/nfs/portlist. In the first case,
all default listeners are started (both UDP and TCP). In the second,
a listener is started only for one specified transport.
The NFS server has to make sure lockd stays up until the last listener
transport goes away. To support both start-up interfaces, it should
do one lockd_up() for each NFSD listener.
The nfsd_init_socks() function used to do one lockd_up() call for each
svc_create_xprt(). Recently commit
26a4140923 mistakenly changed
nfsd_init_socks() to do only one lockd_up() call even though it still
does two svc_create_xprt() calls.
The end result is a lockd_down() BUG during NFSD shutdown processing
because nfsd_last_threads() does a lockd_down() call for each entry
on the sv_permsocks list, but the start-up code doesn't do a matching
number of lockd_up() calls.
Add a second lockd_up() in nfsd_init_socks() to make sure the number
of lockd_up() calls matches the number of entries on the NFS servers's
sv_permsocks list.

knfsd currently uses 2 signal masks when processing requests. A "loose"
mask (SHUTDOWN_SIGS) that it uses when receiving network requests, and
then a more "strict" mask (ALLOWED_SIGS, which is just SIGKILL) that it
allows when doing the actual operation on the local storage.
This is apparently unnecessarily complicated. The underlying filesystem
should be able to sanely handle a signal in the middle of an operation.
This patch removes the signal mask handling from knfsd altogether. When
knfsd is started as a kthread, all signals are ignored. It then allows
all of the signals in SHUTDOWN_SIGS. There's no need to set the mask
as well.

Several of the nfsd filesystem interfaces allow changes to parameters
that don't have any effect on a running nfsd service. They are only ever
checked when nfsd is started. This patch fixes it so that changes to
those procfiles return -EBUSY if nfsd is already running to make it
clear that changes on the fly don't work.
The patch should also close some relatively harmless races between
changing the info in those interfaces and starting nfsd, since these
variables are being moved under the protection of the nfsd_mutex.
Finally, the nfsv4recoverydir file always returns -EINVAL if read. This

Move sk_list and sk_ready to svc_xprt. This involves close because these

The svc_force_sock_close has been changed to svc_close_all and takes a list

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.
