Trond Myklebust e9f7bee1df [PATCH] NFS: large non-page-aligned direct I/O clobbers memory
The logic in nfs_direct_read_schedule and nfs_direct_write_schedule can
allow data->npages to be one larger than rpages.  This causes a page
pointer to be written beyond the end of the pagevec in nfs_read_data (or
nfs_write_data).

Fix this by making nfs_(read|write)_alloc() calculate the size of the
pagevec array, and initialise data->npages.

Also get rid of the redundant argument to nfs_commit_alloc().

This is needed in order to handle any NFS4ERR_DELAY errors that might be

David Howells e8896495bc NFS: Check lengths more thoroughly in NFS4 readdir XDR decode
Check the bounds of length specifiers more thoroughly in the XDR decoding of
NFS4 readdir reply data.

Currently, if the server returns a bitmap or attr length that causes the
current decode point pointer to wrap, this could go undetected (consider a
small "negative" length on a 32-bit machine).

Also add a check into the main XDR decode handler to make sure that the amount
of data is a multiple of four bytes (as specified by RFC-1014).  This makes
sure that we can do u32* pointer subtraction in the NFS client without risking
an undefined result (the result is undefined if the pointers are not correctly
aligned with respect to one another).

Christoph Lameter fd39fc8561 [PATCH] zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_unstable to per zone counter
Conversion of nr_unstable to a per zone counter

We need to do some special modifications to the nfs code since there are
multiple cases of disposition and we need to have a page ref for proper
accounting.

This converts the last critical page state of the VM and therefore we need to
remove several functions that were depending on GET_PAGE_STATE_LAST in order
to make the kernel compile again.  We are only left with event type counters
in page state.

David Brownell 266bee8869 [PATCH] fix static linking of NFS
Builds on ARM report link problems with common configurations like
statically linked NFS (for nfsroot).  The symptom is that __init
section code references __exit section code; that won't work since
the exit sections are discarded (since they can never be called).

The best fix for these particular cases would be an "__init_or_exit"

Chuck Lever 06cf6f2ed0 NFS: Eliminate nfs_get_user_pages()
Neil Brown observed that the kmalloc() in nfs_get_user_pages() is more
likely to fail if the I/O is large enough to require the allocation of more
than a single page to keep track of all the pinned pages in the user's
buffer.

Instead of tracking one large page array per dreq/iocb, track pages per
nfs_read/write_data, just like the cached I/O path does.  An array for
pages is already allocated for us by nfs_readdata_alloc() (and the write
and commit equivalents).

This is also required for adding support for vectored I/O to the NFS direct
I/O path.

The original reason to pin the user buffer and allocate all the NFS data
structures before trying to schedule I/O was to ensure all needed resources
are allocated on the client before starting to send requests.  This reduces
the chance that resource exhaustion on the client will cause a short read
or write.

On the other hand, for an application making very large application I/O
requests, this means that it will be nearly impossible for the application
to make forward progress on a resource-limited client.

Thus, moving the buffer pinning functionality into the I/O scheduling
loops should be good for scalability.  The next patch will do the same for
NFS data structure allocation.

Chuck Lever fedb595c66 NFS: "open code" the NFS direct write rescheduler
An NFSv3/v4 client must reschedule on-the-wire writes if the writes are
UNSTABLE, and the server reboots before the client can complete a
subsequent COMMIT request.

To support direct asynchronous scatter-gather writes, the write
rescheduler in fs/nfs/direct.c must not depend on the I/O parameters
in the controlling nfs_direct_req structure.  iovecs can be somewhat
arbitrarily complex, so there could be an unbounded amount of information
to save for a rarely encountered requirement.

Refactor the direct write rescheduler so it uses information from each
nfs_write_data structure to reschedule writes, instead of caching that
information in the controlling nfs_direct_req structure.

Pass the POSIX lock owner ID to the flush operation.

This is useful for filesystems which don't want to store any locking state
in inode->i_flock but want to handle locking/unlocking POSIX locks
internally.  FUSE is one such filesystem but I think it possible that some
network filesystems would need this also.

Also add a flag to indicate that a POSIX locking request was generated by
close(), so filesystems using the above feature won't send an extra locking
request in this case.

require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation.  This permits
the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.

David Howells 454e2398be [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.

The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).

The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.

This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.

The patch also makes the following changes:

 (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
     pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
     very little.

 (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
     normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
     always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().

 (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
     dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().

     This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
     aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
     currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
     and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
     dentries being left unculled.

     However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
     implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
     simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
     inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
     with child trees.

     [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.

 (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
     changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

David Howells f7b422b17e NFS: Split fs/nfs/inode.c
As fs/nfs/inode.c is rather large, heterogenous and unwieldy, the attached
patch splits it up into a number of files:

 (*) fs/nfs/inode.c

     Strictly inode specific functions.

 (*) fs/nfs/super.c

     Superblock management functions for NFS and NFS4, normal access, clones
     and referrals.  The NFS4 superblock functions _could_ move out into a
     separate conditionally compiled file, but it's probably not worth it as
     there're so many common bits.

 (*) fs/nfs/namespace.c

     Some namespace-specific functions have been moved here.

 (*) fs/nfs/nfs4namespace.c

     NFS4-specific namespace functions (this could be merged into the previous
     file).  This file is conditionally compiled.

 (*) fs/nfs/internal.h

     Inter-file declarations, plus a few simple utility functions moved from
     fs/nfs/inode.c.

     Additionally, all the in-.c-file externs have been moved here, and those
     files they were moved from now includes this file.

For the most part, the functions have not been changed, only some multiplexor
functions have changed significantly.

I've also:

 (*) Added some extra banner comments above some functions.

 (*) Rearranged the function order within the files to be more logical and
     better grouped (IMO), though someone may prefer a different order.

 (*) Reduced the number of #ifdefs in .c files.

 (*) Added missing __init and __exit directives.

Manoj Naik 6b97fd3da1 NFSv4: Follow a referral
Respond to a moved error on NFS lookup by setting up the referral.
Note: We don't actually follow the referral during lookup/getattr, but
later when we detect fsid mismatch in inode revalidation (similar to the
processing done for cloning submounts). Referrals will have fake attributes
until they are actually followed or traversed.
