Hi Trond,
I have been looking at a bugreport where trying to open applications on KDE
on a NFS mounted home fails temporarily. There have been multiple reports on
different kernel versions pointing to this common issue:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12557https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269954http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508866.html
This issue can be reproducible consistently by doing this on a NFS mounted
home (KDE):
1. Open 2 xterm sessions
2. From one of the xterm session, do "ssh -X <remote host>"
3. "stat ~/.Xauthority" on the remote SSH session
4. Close the two xterm sessions
5. On the server do a "stat ~/.Xauthority"
6. Now on the client, try to open xterm
This will fail.
Even if the filehandle had become stale, the NFS client should invalidate
the cache/inode and should repeat LOOKUP. Looking at the packet capture when
the failure occurs shows that there were two subsequent ACCESS() calls with
the same filehandle and both fails with -ESTALE error.
I have tested the fix below. Now the client issue a LOOKUP after the
ACCESS() call fails with -ESTALE. If all this makes sense to you, can you
consider this for inclusion?
Thanks,
If the server returns an -ESTALE error due to stale filehandle in response to
an ACCESS() call, we need to invalidate the cache and inode so that LOOKUP()
can be retried. Without this change, the nfs client retries ACCESS() with the
same filehandle, fails again and could lead to temporary failure of
applications running on nfs mounted home.

Fix a memory leak due to allocation in the XDR layer. In cases where the
RPC call needs to be retransmitted, we end up allocating new pages without
clearing the old ones. Fix this by moving the allocation into
nfs3_proc_setacls().
Also fix an issue discovered by Kevin Rudd, whereby the amount of memory
reserved for the acls in the xdr_buf->head was miscalculated, and causing

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.
The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).
This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

Hi.
I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where
a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0"
mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were
seeing in the file attributes. It turned out that this solution
did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local
attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out.
(With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always
appear to be timed out.)
In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem
is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one
error in it. It is assuming that the cache is valid in the
region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo]. The
cache should be considered valid only in the region,
[read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo). With this
change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally
expected.
This problem was previously addressed by special casing the
attrtimeo == 0 case. However, since the problem is only an off-
by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one
error and thus, not require the special case.
Thanx...

NFSv4 defines a number of state errors which the client does not currently
handle. Among those we should worry about are:
NFS4ERR_ADMIN_REVOKED - the server's administrator revoked our locks
and/or delegations.
NFS4ERR_BAD_STATEID - the client and server are out of sync, possibly
due to a delegation return racing with an OPEN
request.
NFS4ERR_OPENMODE - the client attempted to do something not sanctioned
by the open mode of the stateid. Should normally just
occur as a result of a delegation return race.

The standard default security setting for NFS is AUTH_SYS. An NFS
client connects to NFS servers via a privileged source port and a
fixed standard destination port (2049). The client sends raw uid and
gid numbers to identify users making NFS requests, and the server
assumes an appropriate authority on the client has vetted these
values because the source port is privileged.
On Linux, by default in-kernel RPC services use a privileged port in
the range between 650 and 1023 to avoid using source ports of well-
known IP services. Using such a small range limits the number of NFS
mount points and the number of unique NFS servers to which a client
can connect concurrently.
An NFS client can use unprivileged source ports to expand the range of
source port numbers, allowing more concurrent server connections and
more NFS mount points. Servers must explicitly allow NFS connections
from unprivileged ports for this to work.
In the past, bumping the value of the sunrpc.max_resvport sysctl on
the client would permit the NFS client to use unprivileged ports.
Bumping this setting also changes the maximum port number used by
other in-kernel RPC services, some of which still required a port
number less than 1023.
This is exacerbated by the way source port numbers are chosen by the
Linux RPC client, which starts at the top of the range and works
downwards. It means that bumping the maximum means all RPC services
requesting a source port will likely get an unprivileged port instead
of a privileged one.
Changing this setting effects all NFS mount points on a client. A
sysadmin could not selectively choose which mount points would use
non-privileged ports and which could not.
Lastly, this mechanism of expanding the limit on the number of NFS
mount points was entirely undocumented.
To address the need for the NFS client to use a large range of source
ports without interfering with the activity of other in-kernel RPC
services, we introduce a new NFS mount option. This option explicitly
tells only the NFS client to use a non-privileged source port when
communicating with the NFS server for one specific mount point.
This new mount option is called "resvport," like the similar NFS mount
option on FreeBSD and Mac OS X. A sister patch for nfs-utils will be
submitted that documents this new option in nfs(5).
The default setting for this new mount option requires the NFS client
to use a privileged port, as before. Explicitly specifying the
"noresvport" mount option allows the NFS client to use an unprivileged
source port for this mount point when connecting to the NFS server
port.
This mount option is supported only for text-based NFS mounts.
[ Sidebar: it is widely known that security mechanisms based on the
use of privileged source ports are ineffective. However, the NFS
client can combine the use of unprivileged ports with the use of
secure authentication mechanisms, such as Kerberos. This allows a
large number of connections and mount points while ensuring a useful
level of security.
Eventually we may change the default setting for this option
depending on the security flavor used for the mount. For example,
if the mount is using only AUTH_SYS, then the default setting will
be "resvport;" if the mount is using a strong security flavor such
as krb5, the default setting will be "noresvport." ]

aops->readpages() and its NFS helper readpage_async_filler() will only
be called to do readahead I/O for newly allocated pages. So it's not
necessary to test for the always 0 dirty/uptodate page flags.
The removal of nfs_wb_page() call also fixes a readahead bug: the NFS
readahead has been synchronous since 2.6.23, because that call will
clear PG_readahead, which is the reminder for asynchronous readahead.
More background: the PG_readahead page flag is shared with PG_reclaim,
one for read path and the other for write path. clear_page_dirty_for_io()
unconditionally clears PG_readahead to prevent possible readahead residuals,
assuming itself to be always called in the write path. However, NFS is one
and the only exception in that it _always_ calls clear_page_dirty_for_io()
in the read path, i.e. for readpages()/readpage().

A scope delimiter is present, but there is no scope ID following it.
This is harmless, as it would simply set the scope ID to zero. However,
in some cases we would like to flag this as an improperly formed
address.
We are now also careful to reject addresses where garbage follows the
address (up to the length of the string), instead of ignoring the
non-address characters; and where the scope ID is nonsense (not a valid
device name, but also not numeric). Before, both of these cases would

This fixes a regression seen when running the Connectathon testsuite
against an ext3 filesystem. The reason was that the inode was constantly
being marked as 'just updated' by the jiffy wraparound test.
This again meant that newer GETATTR calls were failing to pass the
nfs_inode_attrs_need_update() test unless the changes caused a ctime update
on the server, since they were perceived as having been started before the
latest inode update.
Given that nfs_inode_attrs_need_update() already checks for wraparound
of nfsi->last_updated, we can drop the buggy "protection" in
nfs_update_inode().
Also make a slight micro-optimisation of nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(): we
are more often going to see time_after(fattr->time_start, nfsi->last_updated)
be true, rather than seeing an update of ctime/size, so put that test
first to ensure that we optimise away the ctime/size tests.

Allow mount to do authenticated mounts below the root of the exported tree.
The wording in RFC 2623, sec 2.3.2. allows fsinfo with UNIX authentication
on the root of the export. Mounts are not always done on the root
of the exported tree. Especially autoumounts often mount below the root of
the exported tree.
Some server implementations (justly) require full authentication for the
so-called deep mounts. The old code used AUTH_SYS only. This caused deep
mounts to fail on systems requiring stronger authentication..
The client should try both authentication types and use the first one that
succeeds.
This method was already partially implemented. This patch completes
the implementation for NFS2 and NFS3.
This patch was developed to allow Debian systems to automount home directories
on Solaris servers with krb5 authentication.
Tested on kernel 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1

The fattrs used in the NFSv3 getacl/setacl calls are not being properly
initialized. This occasionally causes nfs_update_inode to fall into
NFSv4 specific codepaths when handling post-op attrs from these calls.
Thanks to Cai Qian for noticing the spurious NFSv4 messages in debug
output from a v3 mount...

Unfortunately, BUG_ON(IS_ROOT(dentry)) can happen inside
nfs_follow_mountpoint with NFS running Fedora 8 using a
specific setup.

So, the situation should be handled on NFS client gracefully.

Currently, if two processes are both trying to revalidate metadata for the
same inode, they will find themselves being serialised. There is no good
justification for this now that we have improved our ability to detect
stale attribute data, so we should remove that serialisation.

If we're merely checking the inode attributes because we suspect that the
'updated' attributes returned by the RPC call are stale, then we shouldn't
be doing weak cache consistency updates or clearing the cache_validity
flags.

In the case where there are parallel RPC calls to the same inode, we may
receive stale metadata due to the lack of ordering, hence the sanity
checking of metadata in nfs_refresh_inode().
Currently, __nfs_revalidate_inode() is calling nfs_update_inode() directly,
without any further sanity checks, and hence may end up setting the inode
up with stale metadata.
Fix is to use nfs_refresh_inode() instead of nfs_update_inode().

If we believe that the attributes are old (see nfs_refresh_inode()), then
we shouldn't force an update.
Also ensure that we hold the inode->i_lock across attribute checks and the
call to nfs_refresh_inode_locked() to ensure that we don't race with other
attribute updates.
Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
Currently nfs_refresh_inode() will only update the inode metadata if it
sees that the RPC call that returned the nfs_fattr was started
after the last update of the inode. This means that if we have parallel
RPC calls to the same inode (when sending WRITE calls, for instance), we
may often miss updates.
This patch attempts to recover those missed updates by also accepting
them if the ctime in the nfs_fattr is more recent than the inode's
cached ctime.
It also recovers the case where the file size has increased, but the
ctime has not been updated due to limited ctime resolution.

Try to avoid taking and dropping the inode->i_lock more than once. Do so by
moving the code in nfs_refresh_inode() that needs to be done under the
spinlock into a function nfs_refresh_inode_locked(), and then having both
nfs_refresh_inode() and nfs_post_op_update_inode() call it directly.

The point of introducing text-based mounts was to allow us to add
functionality without having to worry about legacy binary mount formats.
The mask should be there in order to ensure that binary formats don't start
enabling features that they cannot support. There is no justification for
applying it to the text mount path.

Add the flag NFS_MOUNT_LOOKUP_CACHE_NONEG to turn off the caching of
negative dentries. In reality what we do is to force
nfs_lookup_revalidate() to always discard negative dentries.
Add the flag NFS_MOUNT_LOOKUP_CACHE_NONE for enforcing stricter
revalidation of dentries. It forces the revalidate code to always do a
lookup instead of just checking the cached mtime of the parent directory.

Instead of causing umount requests to block on server->active_wq while the
asynchronous sillyrename deletes are executing, we can use the sb->s_active
counter to obtain a reference to the super_block, and then release that
reference in nfs_async_unlink_release().
