NeilBrown f16b6e8d83 sunrpc/cache: allow threads to block while waiting for cache update.
The current practice of waiting for cache updates by queueing the
whole request to be retried has (at least) two problems.

1/ With NFSv4, requests can be quite complex and re-trying a whole
  request when a later part fails should only be a last-resort, not a
  normal practice.

2/ Large requests, and in particular any 'write' request, will not be
  queued by the current code and doing so would be undesirable.

In many cases only a very sort wait is needed before the cache gets
valid data.

So, providing the underlying transport permits it by setting
 ->thread_wait,
arrange to wait briefly for an upcall to be completed (as reflected in
the clearing of CACHE_PENDING).
If the short wait was not long enough and CACHE_PENDING is still set,
fall back on the old approach.

The 'thread_wait' value is set to 5 seconds when there are spare
threads, and 1 second when there are no spare threads.

These values are probably much higher than needed, but will ensure
some forward progress.

Note that as we only request an update for a non-valid item, and as
non-valid items are updated in place it is extremely unlikely that
cache_check will return -ETIMEDOUT.  Normally cache_defer_req will
sleep for a short while and then find that the item is_valid.

Neil Brown b48fa6b991 sunrpc: centralise most calls to svc_xprt_received
svc_xprt_received must be called when ->xpo_recvfrom has finished
receiving a message, so that the XPT_BUSY flag will be cleared and
if necessary, requeued for further work.

This call is currently made in each ->xpo_recvfrom function, often
from multiple different points.  In each case it is the earliest point
on a particular path where it is known that the protection provided by
XPT_BUSY is no longer needed.

However there are (still) some error paths which do not call
svc_xprt_received, and requiring each ->xpo_recvfrom to make the call
does not encourage robustness.

So: move the svc_xprt_received call to be made just after the
call to ->xpo_recvfrom(), and move it of the various ->xpo_recvfrom
methods.

This means that it may not be called at the earliest possible instant,
but this is unlikely to be a measurable performance issue.

Note that there are still other calls to svc_xprt_received as it is
also needed when an xprt is newly created.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Neil Brown ab1b18f70a sunrpc: remove unnecessary svc_xprt_put
The 'struct svc_deferred_req's on the xpt_deferred queue do not
own a reference to the owning xprt.  This is seen in svc_revisit
which is where things are added to this queue.  dr->xprt is set to
NULL and the reference to the xprt it put.

So when this list is cleaned up in svc_delete_xprt, we mustn't
put the reference.

Also, replace the 'for' with a 'while' which is arguably
simpler and more likely to compile efficiently.

Chuck Lever 6871790815 SUNRPC: NFS kernel APIs shouldn't return ENOENT for "transport not found"
write_ports() converts svc_create_xprt()'s ENOENT error return to
EPROTONOSUPPORT so that rpc.nfsd (in user space) can report an error
message that makes sense.

It turns out that several of the other kernel APIs rpc.nfsd use can
also return ENOENT from svc_create_xprt(), by way of lockd_up().

On the client side, an NFSv2 or NFSv3 mount request can also return
the result of lockd_up().  This error may also be returned during an
NFSv4 mount request, since the NFSv4 callback service uses
svc_create_xprt() to create the callback listener.  An ENOENT error
return results in a confusing error message from the mount command.

Let's have svc_create_xprt() return EPROTONOSUPPORT instead of ENOENT.

Chuck Lever d6783b2b6c SUNRPC: Bury "#ifdef IPV6" in svc_create_xprt()
Clean up:  Bruce observed we have more or less common logic in each of
svc_create_xprt()'s callers:  the check to create an IPv6 RPC listener
socket only if CONFIG_IPV6 is set.  I'm about to add another case
that does just the same.

If we move the ifdefs into __svc_xpo_create(), then svc_create_xprt()
call sites can get rid of the "#ifdef" ugliness, and can use the same
logic with or without IPv6 support available in the kernel.

Xiaotian Feng b292cf9ce7 sunrpc: fix peername failed on closed listener
There're some warnings of "nfsd: peername failed (err 107)!"
socket error -107 means Transport endpoint is not connected.
This warning message was outputed by svc_tcp_accept() [net/sunrpc/svcsock.c],
when kernel_getpeername returns -107. This means socket might be CLOSED.

And svc_tcp_accept was called by svc_recv() [net/sunrpc/svc_xprt.c]

        if (test_bit(XPT_LISTENER, &xprt->xpt_flags)) {
        <snip>
                newxpt = xprt->xpt_ops->xpo_accept(xprt);
        <snip>

So this might happen when xprt->xpt_flags has both XPT_LISTENER and XPT_CLOSE.

Let's take a look at commit b0401d72, this commit has moved the close
processing after do recvfrom method, but this commit also introduces this
warnings, if the xpt_flags has both XPT_LISTENER and XPT_CLOSED, we should
close it, not accpet then close.

Chuck Lever 335c54bdc4 NFSD: Prevent a buffer overflow in svc_xprt_names()
The svc_xprt_names() function can overflow its buffer if it's so near
the end of the passed in buffer that the "name too long" string still
doesn't fit.  Of course, it could never tell if it was near the end
of the passed in buffer, since its only caller passes in zero as the
buffer length.

Let's make this API a little safer.

Change svc_xprt_names() so it *always* checks for a buffer overflow,
and change its only caller to pass in the correct buffer length.

If svc_xprt_names() does overflow its buffer, it now fails with an
ENAMETOOLONG errno, instead of trying to write a message at the end
of the buffer.  I don't like this much, but I can't figure out a clean
way that's always safe to return some of the names, *and* an
indication that the buffer was not long enough.

The displayed error when doing a 'cat /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist' is
"File name too long".

Note: this isn't an adequate solution on its own. It's acceptable as a way

Greg Banks 03cf6c9f49 knfsd: add file to export stats about nfsd pools
Add /proc/fs/nfsd/pool_stats to export to userspace various
statistics about the operation of rpc server thread pools.

This patch is based on a forward-ported version of
knfsd-add-pool-thread-stats which has been shipping in the SGI
"Enhanced NFS" product since 2006 and which was previously
posted:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.nfs/10375

It has also been updated thus:

 * moved EXPORT_SYMBOL() to near the function it exports

Greg Banks 59a252ff8c knfsd: avoid overloading the CPU scheduler with enormous load averages
Avoid overloading the CPU scheduler with enormous load averages
when handling high call-rate NFS loads.  When the knfsd bottom half
is made aware of an incoming call by the socket layer, it tries to
choose an nfsd thread and wake it up.  As long as there are idle
threads, one will be woken up.

If there are lot of nfsd threads (a sensible configuration when
the server is disk-bound or is running an HSM), there will be many
more nfsd threads than CPUs to run them.  Under a high call-rate
low service-time workload, the result is that almost every nfsd is
runnable, but only a handful are actually able to run.  This situation
causes two significant problems:

1. The CPU scheduler takes over 10% of each CPU, which is robbing
   the nfsd threads of valuable CPU time.

2. At a high enough load, the nfsd threads starve userspace threads
   of CPU time, to the point where daemons like portmap and rpc.mountd
   do not schedule for tens of seconds at a time.  Clients attempting
   to mount an NFS filesystem timeout at the very first step (opening
   a TCP connection to portmap) because portmap cannot wake up from
   select() and call accept() in time.

Disclaimer: these effects were observed on a SLES9 kernel, modern
kernels' schedulers may behave more gracefully.

The solution is simple: keep in each svc_pool a counter of the number
of threads which have been woken but have not yet run, and do not wake
any more if that count reaches an arbitrary small threshold.

Testing was on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients, each with 16
synthetic client threads simulating an rsync (i.e. recursive directory
listing) workload reading from an i386 RH9 install image (161480
regular files in 10841 directories) on the server.  That tree is small
enough to fill in the server's RAM so no disk traffic was involved.
This setup gives a sustained call rate in excess of 60000 calls/sec
before being CPU-bound on the server.  The server was running 128 nfsds.

Profiling showed schedule() taking 6.7% of every CPU, and __wake_up()
taking 5.2%.  This patch drops those contributions to 3.0% and 2.2%.
Load average was over 120 before the patch, and 20.9 after.

This patch is a forward-ported version of knfsd-avoid-nfsd-overload
which has been shipping in the SGI "Enhanced NFS" product since 2006.
It has been posted before:

Jeff Layton c9233eb7b0 sunrpc: add sv_maxconn field to svc_serv (try #3)
svc_check_conn_limits() attempts to prevent denial of service attacks
by having the service close old connections once it reaches a
threshold. This threshold is based on the number of threads in the
service:

	(serv->sv_nrthreads + 3) * 20

Once we reach this, we drop the oldest connections and a printk pops
to warn the admin that they should increase the number of threads.

Increasing the number of threads isn't an option however for services
like lockd. We don't want to eliminate this check entirely for such
services but we need some way to increase this limit.

This patch adds a sv_maxconn field to the svc_serv struct. When it's
set to 0, we use the current method to calculate the max number of
connections. RPC services can then set this on an as-needed basis.

Jeff Layton 7b54fe61ff SUNRPC: allow svc_recv to break out of 500ms sleep when alloc_page fails
svc_recv() calls alloc_page(), and if it fails it does a 500ms
uninterruptible sleep and then reattempts. There doesn't seem to be any
real reason for this to be uninterruptible, so change it to an
interruptible sleep. Also check for kthread_stop() and signalled() after
setting the task state to avoid races that might lead to sleeping after
kthread_stop() wakes up the task.

I've done some very basic smoke testing with this, but obviously it's
hard to test the actual changes since this all depends on an
alloc_page() call failing.

Jeff Layton 7086721f9c SUNRPC: have svc_recv() check kthread_should_stop()
When using kthreads that call into svc_recv, we want to make sure that
they do not block there for a long time when we're trying to take down
the kthread.

This patch changes svc_recv() to check kthread_should_stop() at the same
places that it checks to see if it's signalled(). Also check just before
svc_recv() tries to schedule(). By making sure that we check it just
after setting the task state we can avoid having to use any locking or
signalling to ensure it doesn't block for a long time.

There's still a chance of a 500ms sleep if alloc_page() fails, but
that should be a rare occurrence and isn't a terribly long time in
the context of a kthread being taken down.

Tom Tucker a217813f90 knfsd: Support adding transports by writing portlist file
Update the write handler for the portlist file to allow creating new
listening endpoints on a transport. The general form of the string is:

<transport_name><space><port number>

For example:

echo "tcp 2049" > /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist

This is intended to support the creation of a listening endpoint for
RDMA transports without adding #ifdef code to the nfssvc.c file.

Transports can also be removed as follows:

'-'<transport_name><space><port number>

For example:

echo "-tcp 2049" > /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist

Attempting to add a listener with an invalid transport string results
in EPROTONOSUPPORT and a perror string of "Protocol not supported".

Attempting to remove an non-existent listener (.e.g. bad proto or port)
results in ENOTCONN and a perror string of
"Transport endpoint is not connected"

Tom Tucker 9dbc240f19 svc: Move the sockaddr information to svc_xprt
This patch moves the transport sockaddr to the svc_xprt
structure.  Convenience functions are added to set and
get the local and remote addresses of a transport from
the transport provider as well as determine the length
of a sockaddr.

A transport is responsible for setting the xpt_local
and xpt_remote addresses in the svc_xprt structure as
part of transport creation and xpo_accept processing. This
cannot be done in a generic way and in fact varies
between TCP, UDP and RDMA. A set of xpo_ functions
(e.g. getlocalname, getremotename) could have been
added but this would have resulted in additional
caching and copying of the addresses around.  Note that
the xpt_local address should also be set on listening
endpoints; for TCP/RDMA this is done as part of
endpoint creation.

For connected transports like TCP and RDMA, the addresses
never change and can be set once and copied into the
rqstp structure for each request. For UDP, however, the
local and remote addresses may change for each request. In
this case, the address information is obtained from the
UDP recvmsg info and copied into the rqstp structure from
there.

A svc_xprt_local_port function was also added that returns
the local port given a transport. This is used by
svc_create_xprt when returning the port associated with
a newly created transport, and later when creating a
generic find transport service to check if a service is
already listening on a given port.
