Trond Myklebust d0dc3701cb NFSv4: Give the lock stateid its own sequence queue
Sharing the open sequence queue causes a deadlock when we try to take
both a lock sequence id and and open sequence id.

This fixes the regression reported by Dimitri Puzin and Jeff Garzik: See

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9712

for details.

Trond Myklebust e6e21970ba NFSv4: Fix open_to_lock_owner sequenceid allocation...
NFSv4 file locking is currently completely broken since it doesn't respect
the OPEN sequencing when it is given an unconfirmed lock_owner and needs to
do an open_to_lock_owner. Worse: it breaks the sunrpc rules by doing a
GFP_KERNEL allocation inside an rpciod callback.

Fix is to preallocate the open seqid structure in nfs4_alloc_lockdata if we
see that the lock_owner is unconfirmed.
Then, in nfs4_lock_prepare() we wait for either the open_seqid, if
the lock_owner is still unconfirmed, or else fall back to waiting on the
standard lock_seqid.

but task is already holding lock:

Looking at the code, it would seem that taking the clp->cl_sem in
nfs4_kill_renewd is completely redundant, since we're already guaranteed to
have exclusive access to the nfs_client (we're shutting down).

Sigh... commit 4584f520e1 (NFS: Fix NFS

Thanks to Coverity/Adrian Bunk and Frank Filz for spotting the bug.

Neil Brown 4c1fe2f78a kernel BUG at fs/nfs/namespace.c:108! - can be triggered by bad server
Hi Trond,

I have discovered that the BUG_ON in nfs_follow_mountpoint:

	BUG_ON(IS_ROOT(dentry));

can be triggered by a misbehaving server.

What happens is the client does a lookup and discoveres that the named
directory has a different fsid, so it initiates a mount.
It then performs a GETATTR on the mounted directory and gets a
different fsid again (due to a bug in the NFS server).
This causes nfs_follow_mountpoint to be called on the newly mounted
root, which triggers the BUG_ON.

To duplicate this, have a directory which contains some mountpoints,
and export that directory with the "crossmnt" flag using nfs-utils
1.1.1 (or 1.1.0 I think)

The GETATTR on the root of the mounted filesystem will return the
information for the top exportpoint, while a lookup will return the
correct information.  This difference causes the NFS client to BUG.

I think the best way to fix this is to trap this possibility early, so
just before completing the mount in the NFS client, check that it isn't
going to use nfs_mountpoint_inode_operations.
As long as i_op will never change once set (is that true?), this
should be adequately safe.

The following patch shows a possible approach, and it works for me.
i.e. when the NFS server is misbehaving, I get ESTALE on those
mountpoints, while when the NFS server is working correctly, I get
correct behaviour on the client.

Since 2.6.18, the superblock sb->s_root has been a dummy dentry with a

Commit eda3cef8dd ("NFS: Fix error

an error, then data->res.verf->committed is not tested (as it is not

Then commit 60fa3f769f ("NFS: Fix two bugs

other problems.

So move the test so that we never examine ->committed in an error case,
and fix a speeling error while we are there.

This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by commit
44dd151d5c

We cannot zero the user page in nfs_mark_uptodate() any more, since

  a) We'd be modifying the page without holding the page lock
  b) We can race with other updates of the page, most notably
     because of the call to nfs_wb_page() in nfs_writepage_setup().

Instead, we do the zeroing in nfs_update_request() if we see that we're
creating a request that might potentially be marked as up to date.

Christoph Lameter 4ba9b9d0ba Slab API: remove useless ctor parameter and reorder parameters
Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used.  And
the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions.  The object
pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.

Convert

        ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags)

to

        ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object)

throughout the kernel

Peter Zijlstra c4dc4beed2 nfs: remove congestion_end()
These patches aim to improve balance_dirty_pages() and directly address three
issues:
  1) inter device starvation
  2) stacked device deadlocks
  3) inter process starvation

1 and 2 are a direct result from removing the global dirty limit and using
per device dirty limits. By giving each device its own dirty limit is will
no longer starve another device, and the cyclic dependancy on the dirty limit
is broken.

In order to efficiently distribute the dirty limit across the independant
devices a floating proportion is used, this will allocate a share of the total
limit proportional to the device's recent activity.

3 is done by also scaling the dirty limit proportional to the current task's
recent dirty rate.

This patch:

nfs: remove congestion_end().  It's redundant, clear_bdi_congested() already
wakes the waiters.

We're failing basic test6 against Linux servers because they lack a correct
