      NFS: Do not set NFS_INO_INVALID_LABEL unless server supports labeled NFS · fd1defc2
      Trond Myklebust authored 
      

Commit aa9c2669 (NFS: Client implementation of Labeled-NFS) introduces
a performance regression. When nfs_zap_caches_locked is called, it sets
the NFS_INO_INVALID_LABEL flag irrespectively of whether or not the
NFS server supports security labels. Since that flag is never cleared,
it means that all calls to nfs_revalidate_inode() will now trigger
an on-the-wire GETATTR call.

This patch ensures that we never set the NFS_INO_INVALID_LABEL unless the
server advertises support for labeled NFS.
It also causes nfs_setsecurity() to clear NFS_INO_INVALID_LABEL when it
has successfully set the security label for the inode.
Finally it gets rid of the NFS_INO_INVALID_LABEL cruft from nfs_update_inode,
which has nothing to do with labeled NFS.

      sunrpc: turn warn_gssd() log message into a dprintk() · 0ea9de0e
      Jeff Layton authored 
      

The original printk() made sense when the GSSAPI codepaths were called
only when sec=krb5* was explicitly requested. Now however, in many cases
the nfs client will try to acquire GSSAPI credentials by default, even
when it's not requested.

Since we don't have a great mechanism to distinguish between the two
cases, just turn the pr_warn into a dprintk instead. With this change we
can also get rid of the ratelimiting.

We do need to keep the EXPORT_SYMBOL(gssd_running) in place since
auth_gss.ko needs it and sunrpc.ko provides it. We can however,
eliminate the gssd_running call in the nfs code since that's a bit of a
layering violation.

      NFS: fix the handling of NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA flag in nfs_revalidate_mapping · d529ef83
      Jeff Layton authored 
      

There is a possible race in how the nfs_invalidate_mapping function is
handled.  Currently, we go and invalidate the pages in the file and then
clear NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA.

The problem is that it's possible for a stale page to creep into the
mapping after the page was invalidated (i.e., via readahead). If another
writer comes along and sets the flag after that happens but before
invalidate_inode_pages2 returns then we could clear the flag
without the cache having been properly invalidated.

So, we must clear the flag first and then invalidate the pages. Doing
this however, opens another race:

It's possible to have two concurrent read() calls that end up in
nfs_revalidate_mapping at the same time. The first one clears the
NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA flag and then goes to call nfs_invalidate_mapping.

Just before calling that though, the other task races in, checks the
flag and finds it cleared. At that point, it trusts that the mapping is
good and gets the lock on the page, allowing the read() to be satisfied
from the cache even though the data is no longer valid.

These effects are easily manifested by running diotest3 from the LTP
test suite on NFS. That program does a series of DIO writes and buffered
reads. The operations are serialized and page-aligned but the existing
code fails the test since it occasionally allows a read to come out of
the cache incorrectly. While mixing direct and buffered I/O isn't
recommended, I believe it's possible to hit this in other ways that just
use buffered I/O, though that situation is much harder to reproduce.

The problem is that the checking/clearing of that flag and the
invalidation of the mapping really need to be atomic. Fix this by
serializing concurrent invalidations with a bitlock.

At the same time, we also need to allow other places that check
NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA to check whether we might be in the middle of
invalidating the file, so fix up a couple of places that do that
to look for the new NFS_INO_INVALIDATING flag.

Doing this requires us to be careful not to set the bitlock
unnecessarily, so this code only does that if it believes it will
be doing an invalidation.

      nfs: handle servers that support only ALLOW ACE type. · 7dd7d959

Currently we support ACLs if the NFS server file system supports both
ALLOW and DENY ACE types. This patch makes the Linux client work with
ACLs even if the server supports only 'ALLOW' ACE type.

      pnfs: Proper delay for NFS4ERR_RECALLCONFLICT in layout_get_done · ed7e5423
      Boaz Harrosh authored 
      

An NFS4ERR_RECALLCONFLICT is returned by server from a GET_LAYOUT
only when a Server Sent a RECALL do to that GET_LAYOUT, or
the RECALL and GET_LAYOUT crossed on the wire.
In any way this means we want to wait at most until in-flight IO
is finished and the RECALL can be satisfied.

So a proper wait here is more like 1/10 of a second, not 15 seconds
like we have now. In case of a server bug we delay exponentially
longer on each retry.

Current code totally craps out performance of very large files on
most pnfs-objects layouts, because of how the map changes when the
file has grown into the next raid group.

[Stable: This will patch back to 3.9. If there are earlier still
 maintained trees, please tell me I'll send a patch]

      pnfs: fix BUG in filelayout_recover_commit_reqs · 471252cd
      Weston Andros Adamson authored 
      

cond_resched_lock(cinfo->lock) is called everywhere else while holding
the cinfo->lock spinlock.  Not holding this lock while calling
transfer_commit_list in filelayout_recover_commit_reqs causes the BUG
below.

It's true that we can't hold this lock while calling pnfs_put_lseg,
because that might try to lock the inode lock - which might be the
same lock as cinfo->lock.

To reproduce, mount a 2 DS pynfs server and run an O_DIRECT command
that crosses a stripe boundary and is not page aligned, such as:

 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/f bs=17000 count=1 oflag=direct
