In nfs4_callback_devicenotify(), if we don't find a matching entry for
the deviceid, we're left with a pointer to 'struct nfs_server' that
actually points to the list of super blocks associated with our struct
nfs_client.
Furthermore, even if we have a valid pointer, nothing pins the super
block, and so the struct nfs_server could end up getting freed while
we're using it.
Since all we want is a pointer to the struct pnfs_layoutdriver_type,
let's skip all the iteration over super blocks, and just use APIs to
find the layout driver directly.

To move the list iterator variable into the list_for_each_entry_*()
macro in the future it should be avoided to use the list iterator
variable after the loop body.
To *never* use the list iterator variable after the loop it was
concluded to use a separate iterator variable instead of a
found boolean [1].
This removes the need to use a found variable and simply checking if
the variable was set, can determine if the break/goto was hit.

The commit handling code is not safe against memory-pressure deadlocks
when writing to swap. In particular, nfs_commitdata_alloc() blocks
indefinitely waiting for memory, and this can consume all available
workqueue threads.
swap-out most likely uses STABLE writes anyway as COND_STABLE indicates
that a stable write should be used if the write fits in a single
request, and it normally does. However if we ever swap with a small
wsize, or gather unusually large numbers of pages for a single write,
this might change.
For safety, make it explicit in the code that direct writes used for swap
must always use FLUSH_STABLE.

1/ Taking the i_rwsem for swap IO triggers lockdep warnings regarding
possible deadlocks with "fs_reclaim". These deadlocks could, I believe,
eventuate if a buffered read on the swapfile was attempted.
We don't need coherence with the page cache for a swap file, and
buffered writes are forbidden anyway. There is no other need for
i_rwsem during direct IO. So never take it for swap_rw()
2/ generic_write_checks() explicitly forbids writes to swap, and
performs checks that are not needed for swap. So bypass it

rpc tasks can be marked as RPC_TASK_SWAPPER. This causes GFP_MEMALLOC
to be used for some allocations. This is needed in some cases, but not
in all where it is currently provided, and in some where it isn't
provided.
Currently *all* tasks associated with a rpc_client on which swap is
enabled get the flag and hence some GFP_MEMALLOC support.
GFP_MEMALLOC is provided for ->buf_alloc() but only swap-writes need it.
However xdr_alloc_bvec does not get GFP_MEMALLOC - though it often does
need it.
xdr_alloc_bvec is called while the XPRT_LOCK is held. If this blocks,
then it blocks all other queued tasks. So this allocation needs
GFP_MEMALLOC for *all* requests, not just writes, when the xprt is used
for any swap writes.
Similarly, if the transport is not connected, that will block all
requests including swap writes, so memory allocations should get
GFP_MEMALLOC if swap writes are possible.
So with this patch:
1/ we ONLY set RPC_TASK_SWAPPER for swap writes.
2/ __rpc_execute() sets PF_MEMALLOC while handling any task
with RPC_TASK_SWAPPER set, or when handling any task that
holds the XPRT_LOCKED lock on an xprt used for swap.
This removes the need for the RPC_IS_SWAPPER() test
in ->buf_alloc handlers.
3/ xprt_prepare_transmit() sets PF_MEMALLOC after locking
any task to a swapper xprt. __rpc_execute() will clear it.
3/ PF_MEMALLOC is set for all the connect workers.

NFS_RPC_SWAPFLAGS is only used for READ requests.
It sets RPC_TASK_SWAPPER which gives some memory-allocation priority to
requests. This is not needed for swap READ - though it is for writes
where it is set via a different mechanism.
RPC_TASK_ROOTCREDS causes the 'machine' credential to be used.
This is not needed as the root credential is saved when the swap file is
opened, and this is used for all IO.
So NFS_RPC_SWAPFLAGS isn't needed, and as it is the only user of
RPC_TASK_ROOTCREDS, that isn't needed either.
Remove both.

Avoid clearing the entire readdir page cache if we're just doing forced

Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>
Instead of using a linear index to address the pages, use the cookie of
the first entry, since that is what we use to match the page anyway.
This allows us to avoid re-reading the entire cache on a seekdir() type
of operation. The latter is very common when re-exporting NFS, and is a
major performance drain.
The change does affect our duplicate cookie detection, since we can no
longer rely on the page index as a linear offset for detecting whether
we looped backwards. However since we no longer do a linear search
through all the pages on each call to nfs_readdir(), this is less of a
concern than it was previously.
The other downside is that invalidate_mapping_pages() no longer can use
the page index to avoid clearing pages that have been read. A subsequent
patch will restore the functionality this provides to the 'ls -l'
heuristic.

The heuristic for readdirplus is designed to try to detect 'ls -l' and
similar patterns. It does so by looking for cache hit/miss patterns in
both the attribute cache and in the dcache of the files in a given
directory, and then sets a flag for the readdirplus code to interpret.
The problem with this approach is that a single attribute or dcache miss
can cause the NFS code to force a refresh of the attributes for the
entire set of files contained in the directory.
To be able to make a more nuanced decision, let's sample the number of
hits and misses in the set of open directory descriptors. That allows us
to set thresholds at which we start preferring READDIRPLUS over regular
READDIR, or at which we start to force a re-read of the remaining
readdir cache using READDIRPLUS.

Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>
The current NFS readdir code will always try to maximise the amount of
readahead it performs on the assumption that we can cache anything that

There are several cases where this assumption breaks down, including
when the 'ls -l' heuristic kicks in to try to force use of readdirplus
as a batch replacement for lookup/getattr.
This patch therefore tries to tone down the amount of readahead we
perform, and adjust it to try to match the amount of data being
requested by user space.

If the page cache entry that was last read gets invalidated for some
reason, then make sure we can re-create it on the next call to readdir.
This, combined with the cache page validation, allows us to reuse the

Credit is due to Benjamin Coddington for showing that the concept works,
and that it allows for improved cache sharing between processes even in
the case where pages are lost due to LRU or active invalidation.
