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:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.nfs/10376
and more recently requested to be posted again.

The main nfsd code was recently modified to no longer do lookups from
withing the readdir callback, to avoid locking problems on certain
filesystems.
This (rather hacky, and overdue for replacement) NFSv4 recovery code has
the same problem. Fix it to build up a list of names (instead of
dentries) and do the lookups afterwards.
Reported symptoms were a deadlock in the xfs code (called from
nfsd4_recdir_load), with /var/lib/nfs on xfs.

Currently putpubfh returns NFSERR_OPNOTSUPP, which isn't actually
allowed for v4. The right error is probably NFSERR_NOTSUPP.
But let's just implement it; though rarely seen, it can be used by
Solaris (with a special mount option), is mandated by the rfc, and is
trivial for us to support.
Thanks to Yang Hongyang for pointing out the original problem, and to
Mike Eisler, Tom Talpey, Trond Myklebust, and Dave Noveck for further
argument....

If a filesystem being written to via NFS returns a short write count
(as opposed to an error) to nfsd, nfsd treats that as a success for
the entire write, rather than the short count that actually succeeded.
For example, given a 8192 byte write, if the underlying filesystem
only writes 4096 bytes, nfsd will ack back to the nfs client that all
8192 bytes were written. The nfs client does have retry logic for
short writes, but this is never called as the client is told the
complete write succeeded.
There are probably other ways it could happen, but in my case it
happened with a fuse (filesystem in userspace) filesystem which can
rather easily have a partial write.
Here is a patch to properly return the short write count to the
client.

Note that we exit this first big "if" with stp == NULL if and only if we
took the first branch; therefore, the second "if" is redundant, and we

sometimes HPUX nfs client sends a create request to linux nfs server(v2/v3).
the dump of the request is like:
obj_attributes
mode: value follows
set_it: value follows (1)
mode: 00
uid: no value
set_it: no value (0)
gid: value follows
set_it: value follows (1)
gid: 8030
size: value follows
set_it: value follows (1)
size: 0
atime: don't change
set_it: don't change (0)
mtime: don't change
set_it: don't change (0)
note that mode is 00(havs no rwx privilege even for the owner) and it requires
to set size to 0.
as current nfsd(v2/v3) implementation, the server does mainly 2 steps:
1) creates the file in mode specified by calling vfs_create().
2) sets attributes for the file by calling nfsd_setattr().
at step 2), it finally calls file system specific setattr() function which may
fail when checking permission because changing size needs WRITE privilege but
it has none since mode is 000.
for this case, a new file created, we may simply ignore the request of
setting size to 0, so that WRITE privilege is not needed and the open
succeeds.

The flags here attempt to make the code more general, but I find it
actually just adds confusion.
I think it's clearer to separate the logic for the open and lock cases
entirely. And eventually we may want to separate the stateowner and
stateid types as well, as many of the fields aren't shared between the
lock and open cases.
Also move to eliminate forward references.
Start with the stateid's.
