Andy Adamson 2f425878b6 nfsd: don't use the deferral service, return NFS4ERR_DELAY
On an NFSv4.1 server cache miss that causes an upcall, NFS4ERR_DELAY will be
returned. It is up to the NFSv4.1 client to resend only the operations that
have not been processed.

Initialize rq_usedeferral to 1 in svc_process(). It sill be turned off in
nfsd4_proc_compound() only when NFSv4.1 Sessions are used.

Note: this isn't an adequate solution on its own. It's acceptable as a way
to get some minimal 4.1 up and working, but we're going to have to find a
way to avoid returning DELAY in all common cases before 4.1 can really be
considered ready.

 * made the new struct struct seq_operations const
 * used SEQ_START_TOKEN instead of ((void *)1)
 * merged fix from SGI PV 990526 "sunrpc: use dprintk instead of

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.

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.

Tom Tucker 1d8206b97a svc: Add an svc transport class
The transport class (svc_xprt_class) represents a type of transport, e.g.
udp, tcp, rdma.  A transport class has a unique name and a set of transport
operations kept in the svc_xprt_ops structure.

A transport class can be dynamically registered and unregisterd. The
svc_xprt_class represents the module that implements the transport
type and keeps reference counts on the module to avoid unloading while
there are active users.

The endpoint (svc_xprt) is a generic, transport independent endpoint that can
be used to send and receive data for an RPC service. It inherits it's
operations from the transport class.

A transport driver module registers and unregisters itself with svc sunrpc
by calling svc_reg_xprt_class, and svc_unreg_xprt_class respectively.
