We want to use the nfsd4_compound_state to cache the nfs4_client in
order to optimise away extra lookups of the clid.
In the v4.0 case, we use this to ensure that we only have to look up the
client at most once per compound for each call into lookup_clientid. For
v4.1+ we set the pointer in the cstate during SEQUENCE processing so we
should never need to do a search for it.

I saw this pop up with some pynfs testing:
[ 123.609992] nfsd: non-standard errno: -7
...and -7 is -E2BIG. I think what happened is that XFS returned -E2BIG
due to some xattr operations with the ACL10 pynfs TEST (I guess it has
limited xattr size?).
Add a better mapping for that error since it's possible that we'll need
it. How about we convert it to NFSERR_FBIG? As Bruce points out, they
both have "BIG" in the name so it must be good.

Currently, the maximum number of connections that nfsd will allow
is based on the number of threads spawned. While this is fine for a
default, there really isn't a clear relationship between the two.
The number of threads corresponds to the number of concurrent requests
that we want to allow the server to process at any given time. The
connection limit corresponds to the maximum number of clients that we
want to allow the server to handle. These are two entirely different
quantities.
Break the dependency on increasing threads in order to allow for more
connections, by adding a new per-net parameter that can be set to a
non-zero value. The default is still to base it on the number of threads,
so there should be no behavior change for anyone who doesn't use it.

Current code depends on the client_mutex to guarantee a single struct

stop taking the client_mutex here later.
To prevent an i_lock/state_lock inversion, change nfsd4_init_file to
use ihold instead if igrab. That's also more efficient anyway as we
definitely hold a reference to the inode at that point.

Currently nfsd_symlink has a weird hack to serve callers who don't
null-terminate symlink data: it looks ahead at the next byte to see if
it's zero, and copies it to a new buffer to null-terminate if not.
That means callers don't have to null-terminate, but they *do* have to
ensure that the byte following the end of the data is theirs to read.
That's a bit subtle, and the NFSv4 code actually got this wrong.
So let's just throw out that code and let callers pass null-terminated
strings; we've already fixed them to do that.
Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
It's simple enough for NFSv2 to null-terminate the symlink data.
A bit weird (it depends on knowing that we've already read the following
byte, which is either padding or part of the mode), but no worse than
the conditional kstrdup it otherwise relies on in nfsd_symlink().
Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
An NFS operation that creates a new symlink includes the symlink data,
which is xdr-encoded as a length followed by the data plus 0 to 3 bytes
of zero-padding as required to reach a 4-byte boundary.
The vfs, on the other hand, wants null-terminated data.
The simple way to handle this would be by copying the data into a newly
allocated buffer with space for the final null.
The current nfsd_symlink code tries to be more clever by skipping that
step in the (likely) case where the byte following the string is already
0.
But that assumes that the byte following the string is ours to look at.
In fact, it might be the first byte of a page that we can't read, or of
some object that another task might modify.
Worse, the NFSv4 code tries to fix the problem by actually writing to
that byte.
In the NFSv2/v3 cases this actually appears to be safe:
- nfs3svc_decode_symlinkargs explicitly null-terminates the data
(after first checking its length and copying it to a new
page).
- NFSv2 limits symlinks to 1k. The buffer holding the rpc
request is always at least a page, and the link data (and
previous fields) have maximum lengths that prevent the request
from reaching the end of a page.
In the NFSv4 case the CREATE op is potentially just one part of a long
compound so can end up on the end of a page if you're unlucky.
The minimal fix here is to copy and null-terminate in the NFSv4 case.
The nfsd_symlink() interface here seems too fragile, though. It should
really either do the copy itself every time or just require a
null-terminated string.

Pull i2c new drivers from Wolfram Sang:
"Here is a pull request from i2c hoping for the "new driver" rule.
Originally, I wanted to send this request during the merge window, but
code checkers with very recent additions complained, so a few fixups
were needed. So, some more time went by and I merged rc1 to get a
stable base"
So the "new driver" rule is really about drivers that people absolutely
need for the kernel to work on new hardware, which is not so much the
case for i2c. So I considered not pulling this, but eventually
relented.
Just for FYI: the whole (and only) point of "new drivers" is not that
new drivers cannot regress things (they can, and they have - by
triggering badly tested code on machines that never triggered that code
before), but because they can bring to life machines that otherwise
wouldn't be useful at all without the drivers.
So the new driver rule is for essential things that actual consumers
would care about, ie devices like networking or disk drivers that matter
to normal people (not server people - they run old kernels anyway, so
mainlining new drivers is irrelevant for them).
