nfsd4_path() allocates a temporary filehandle and then fails to free it
before the function exits, leaking reference counts to the dentry and
export that it refers to.
Also, nfsd4_lookupp() puts the result of exp_pseudoroot() in a temporary
filehandle which it releases on success of exp_pseudoroot() but not on
failure; fix exp_pseudoroot to ensure that on failure it releases the
filehandle before returning.

Use NFSD_SLOT_CACHE_SIZE size buffers for sessions DRC instead of holding nfsd
pages in cache.
Connectathon testing has shown that 1024 bytes for encoded compound operation
responses past the sequence operation is sufficient, 512 bytes is a little too
small. Set NFSD_SLOT_CACHE_SIZE to 1024.
Allocate memory for the session DRC in the CREATE_SESSION operation
to guarantee that the memory resource is available for caching responses.
Allocate each slot individually in preparation for slot table size negotiation.
Remove struct nfsd4_cache_entry and helper functions for the old page-based
DRC.
The iov_len calculation in nfs4svc_encode_compoundres is now always
correct. Replay is now done in nfsd4_sequence under the state lock, so
the session ref count is only bumped on non-replay. Clean up the
nfs4svc_encode_compoundres session logic.
The nfsd4_compound_state statp pointer is also not used.

Instead of trying to share the generic 4.1 reply cache code for the
CREATE_SESSION reply cache, it's simpler to handle CREATE_SESSION
separately.
The nfs41 single slot clientid DRC holds the results of create session
processing. CREATE_SESSION can be preceeded by a SEQUENCE operation
(an embedded CREATE_SESSION) and the create session single slot cache must be
maintained. nfsd4_replay_cache_entry() and nfsd4_store_cache_entry() do not
implement the replay of an embedded CREATE_SESSION.
The clientid DRC slot does not need the inuse, cachethis or other fields that
the multiple slot session cache uses. Replace the clientid DRC cache struct
nfs4_slot cache with a new nfsd4_clid_slot cache. Save the xdr struct
nfsd4_create_session into the cache at the end of processing, and on a replay,
replace the struct for the replay request with the cached version all while
under the state lock.
nfsd4_proc_compound will handle both the solo and embedded CREATE_SESSION case
via the normal use of encode_operation.
Errors that do not change the create session cache:
A create session NFS4ERR_STALE_CLIENTID error means that a client record
(and associated create session slot) could not be found and therefore can't
be changed. NFSERR_SEQ_MISORDERED errors do not change the slot cache.
All other errors get cached.
Remove the clientid DRC specific check in nfs4svc_encode_compoundres to
put the session only if cstate.session is set which will now always be true.

ext4 supports a real NFSv4 change attribute, which is bumped whenever
the ctime would be updated, including times when two updates arrive
within a jiffy of each other. (Note that although ext4 has space for
nanosecond-precision ctime, the real resolution is lower: it actually
uses jiffies as the time-source.) This ensures clients will invalidate
their caches when they need to.
There is some fear that keeping the i_version up-to-date could have

Implement the create_session operation confoming to
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-minorversion1-26
Look up the client id (generated by the server on exchange_id,
given by the client on create_session).
If neither a confirmed or unconfirmed client is found
then the client id is stale
If a confirmed cilent is found (i.e. we already received
create_session for it) then compare the sequence id
to determine if it's a replay or possibly a mis-ordered rpc.
If the seqid is in order, update the confirmed client seqid
and procedd with updating the session parameters.
If an unconfirmed client_id is found then verify the creds
and seqid. If both match move the client id to confirmed state
and proceed with processing the create_session.
Currently, we do not support persistent sessions, and RDMA.
alloc_init_session generates a new sessionid and creates
a session structure.
NFSD_PAGES_PER_SLOT is used for the max response cached calculation, and for
the counting of DRC pages using the hard limits set in struct srv_serv.
A note on NFSD_PAGES_PER_SLOT:
Other patches in this series allow for NFSD_PAGES_PER_SLOT + 1 pages to be
cached in a DRC slot when the response size is less than NFSD_PAGES_PER_SLOT *
PAGE_SIZE but xdr_buf pages are used. e.g. a READDIR operation will encode a
small amount of data in the xdr_buf head, and then the READDIR in the xdr_buf
pages. So, the hard limit calculation use of pages by a session is
underestimated by the number of cached operations using the xdr_buf pages.
Yet another patch caches no pages for the solo sequence operation, or any
compound where cache_this is False. So the hard limit calculation use of
pages by a session is overestimated by the number of these operations in the
cache.

WRITEMEM zeroes the last word in the destination buffer
for padding purposes, but this must not be done if
no bytes are to be copied, as it would result
in zeroing of the word right before the array.
The current implementation works since it's always called
with non zero nbytes or it follows an encoding of the
string (or opaque) length which, if equal to zero,
can be overwritten with zero.
Nevertheless, it seems safer to check for this case.

This patch addresses a compatibility issue with a Linux NFS server and
AIX NFS client.
I have exported /export as fsid=0 with sec=krb5:krb5i
I have mount --bind /home onto /export/home
I have exported /export/home with sec=krb5i
The AIX client mounts / -o sec=krb5:krb5i onto /mnt
If I do an ls /mnt, the AIX client gets a permission error. Looking at
the network traceIwe see a READDIR looking for attributes
FATTR4_RDATTR_ERROR and FATTR4_MOUNTED_ON_FILEID. The response gives a
NFS4ERR_WRONGSEC which the AIX client is not expecting.
Since the AIX client is only asking for an attribute that is an
attribute of the parent file system (pseudo root in my example), it
seems reasonable that there should not be an error.
In discussing this issue with Bruce Fields, I initially proposed
ignoring the error in nfsd4_encode_dirent_fattr() if all that was being
asked for was FATTR4_RDATTR_ERROR and FATTR4_MOUNTED_ON_FILEID, however,
Bruce suggested that we avoid calling cross_mnt() if only these
attributes are requested.
The following patch implements bypassing cross_mnt() if only
FATTR4_RDATTR_ERROR and FATTR4_MOUNTED_ON_FILEID are called. Since there
is some complexity in the code in nfsd4_encode_fattr(), I didn't want to
duplicate code (and introduce a maintenance nightmare), so I added a
parameter to nfsd4_encode_fattr() that indicates whether it should
ignore cross mounts and simply fill in the attribute using the passed in
dentry as opposed to it's parent.
