We no longer need to worry about collisions between close() and the state

9512135df1 NFSv4: Fix a potential CLOSE race
Once the state_owner and lock_owner semaphores get removed, it will be
 possible for other OPEN requests to reopen the same file if they have
 lower sequence ids than our CLOSE call.
 This patch ensures that we recheck the file state once
 nfs_wait_on_sequence() has completed waiting.

cee54fc944 NFSv4: Add functions to order RPC calls
NFSv4 file state-changing functions such as OPEN, CLOSE, LOCK,... are all
 labelled with "sequence identifiers" in order to prevent the server from
 reordering RPC requests, as this could cause its file state to
 become out of sync with the client.

 Currently the NFS client code enforces this ordering locally using
 semaphores to restrict access to structures until the RPC call is done.
 This, of course, only works with synchronous RPC calls, since the
 user process must first grab the semaphore.
 By dropping semaphores, and instead teaching the RPC engine to hold
 the RPC calls until they are ready to be sent, we can extend this
 process to work nicely with asynchronous RPC calls too.

 This patch adds a new list called "rpc_sequence" that defines the order
 of the RPC calls to be sent. We add one such list for each state_owner.
 When an RPC call is ready to be sent, it checks if it is top of the
 rpc_sequence list. If so, it proceeds. If not, it goes back to sleep,
 and loops until it hits top of the list.
 Once the RPC call has completed, it can then bump the sequence id counter,
 and remove itself from the rpc_sequence list, and then wake up the next
 sleeper.

 Note that the state_owner sequence ids and lock_owner sequence ids are
 all indexed to the same rpc_sequence list, so OPEN, LOCK,... requests
 are all ordered w.r.t. each other.

278c995c8a [PATCH] RPC,NFS: new rpc_pipefs patch
Currently rpc_mkdir/rpc_rmdir and rpc_mkpipe/mk_unlink have an API that's
 a little unfortunate.  They take a path relative to the rpc_pipefs root and
 thus need to perform a full lookup.  If you look at debugfs or usbfs they
 always store the dentry for directories they created and thus can pass in
 a dentry + single pathname component pair into their equivalents of the
 above functions.

 And in fact rpc_pipefs actually stores a dentry for all but one component so
 this change not only simplifies the core rpc_pipe code but also the callers.

 Unfortuntately this code path is only used by the NFS4 idmapper and
 AUTH_GSSAPI for which I don't have a test enviroment.  Could someone give
 it a spin?  It's the last bit needed before we can rework the
 lookup_hash API

cc314eef01 Fix nasty ncpfs symlink handling bug.
This bug could cause oopses and page state corruption, because ncpfs
used the generic page-cache symlink handlign functions.  But those
functions only work if the page cache is guaranteed to be "stable", ie a
page that was installed when the symlink walk was started has to still
be installed in the page cache at the end of the walk.

We could have fixed ncpfs to not use the generic helper routines, but it
is in many ways much cleaner to instead improve on the symlink walking
helper routines so that they don't require that absolute stability.

We do this by allowing "follow_link()" to return a error-pointer as a
cookie, which is fed back to the cleanup "put_link()" routine.  This
also simplifies NFS symlink handling.

dc59250c6e [PATCH] NFS: Introduce the use of inode->i_lock to protect fields in nfsi
Down the road we want to eliminate the use of the global kernel lock entirely
from the NFS client.  To do this, we need to protect the fields in the
nfs_inode structure adequately.  Start by serializing updates to the
"cache_validity" field.

Note this change addresses an SMP hang found by njw@osdl.org, where processes
deadlock because nfs_end_data_update and nfs_revalidate_mapping update the
"cache_validity" field without proper serialization.

Test plan:
 Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.  Run Nick Wilson's breaknfs program on
 large SMP clients.

412d582ec1 [PATCH] NFS: use atomic bitops to manipulate flags in nfsi->flags
Introduce atomic bitops to manipulate the bits in the nfs_inode structure's
"flags" field.

Using bitops means we can use a generic wait_on_bit call instead of an ad hoc
locking scheme in fs/nfs/inode.c, so we can remove the "nfs_i_wait" field from
nfs_inode at the same time.

The other new flags field will continue to use bitmask and logic AND and OR.
This permits several flags to be set at the same time efficiently.  The
following patch adds a spin lock to protect these flags, and this spin lock
will later cover other fields in the nfs_inode structure, amortizing the cost
of using this type of serialization.

 Millions of fsx ops on SMP clients.

65e4308d25 [PATCH] NFS: Ensure we always update inode->i_mode when doing O_EXCL creates
When the client performs an exclusive create and opens the file for writing,
a Netapp filer will first create the file using the mode 01777. It does this
since an NFSv3/v4 exclusive create cannot immediately set the mode bits.
The 01777 mode then gets put into the inode->i_mode. After the file creation
is successful, we then do a setattr to change the mode to the correct value
(as per the NFS spec).

The problem is that nfs_refresh_inode() no longer updates inode->i_mode, so
the latter retains the 01777 mode. A bit later, the VFS notices this, and calls
remove_suid(). This of course now resets the file mode to inode->i_mode & 0777.
Hey presto, the file mode on the server is now magically changed to 0777. Duh...

055ffbea05 [PATCH] NFS: Fix handling of the umask when an NFSv3 default acl is present.
NFSv3 has no concept of a umask on the server side: The client applies
 the umask locally, and sends the effective permissions to the server.
 This behavior is wrong when files are created in a directory that has a
 default ACL.  In this case, the umask is supposed to be ignored, and
 only the default ACL determines the file's effective permissions.

 Usually its the server's task to conditionally apply the umask.  But
 since the server knows nothing about the umask, we have to do it on the
 client side.  This patch tries to fetch the parent directory's default
 ACL before creating a new file, computes the appropriate create mode to
 send to the server, and finally sets the new file's access and default
 acl appropriately.

 Many thanks to Buck Huppmann <buchk@pobox.com> for sending the initial
 version of this patch, as well as for arguing why we need this change.

b7fa0554cf [PATCH] NFS: Add support for NFSv3 ACLs
This adds acl support fo nfs clients via the NFSACL protocol extension, by
 implementing the getxattr, listxattr, setxattr, and removexattr iops for the
 system.posix_acl_access and system.posix_acl_default attributes.  This patch
 implements a dumb version that uses no caching (and thus adds some overhead).
 (Another patch in this patchset adds caching as well.)
