8b3e07ac90 svcrpc: fix rare race on unix_domain creation
Note that "new" here is not yet fully initialized; auth_domain_put
should be called only on auth_domains that have actually been added to
the hash.

Before this fix, two attempts to add the same domain at once could
cause the hlist_del in auth_domain_put to fail.

31f7aa65f5 svcrpc: modifying valid sunrpc cache entries is racy
Once a sunrpc cache entry is VALID, we should be replacing it (and
allowing any concurrent users to destroy it on last put) instead of
trying to update it in place.

Otherwise someone referencing the ip_map we're modifying here could try
to use the m_client just as we're putting the last reference.

The bug should only be seen by users of the legacy nfsd interfaces.

(Thanks to Neil for suggestion to use sunrpc_invalidate.)

If we drop a request in the sunrpc layer, either due kmalloc failure,
or due to a cache miss when we could not queue the request for later

Note that if the drop happens in the NFS layer, NFSERR_JUKEBOX

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

dc83d6e27f nfsd4: don't try to map gid's in generic rpc code
For nfsd we provide users the option of mapping uid's to server-side
supplementary group lists.  That makes sense for nfsd, but not
necessarily for other rpc users (such as the callback client).

So move that lookup to svcauth_unix_set_client, which is a
program-specific method.

For events that are rare, such as referral DNS lookups, it makes limited

def13d7401 svc: Move the authinfo cache to svc_xprt.
Move the authinfo cache to svc_xprt. This allows both the TCP and RDMA
transports to share this logic. A flag bit is used to determine if
auth information is to be cached or not. Previously, this code looked
at the transport protocol.

I've also changed the spin_lock/unlock logic so that a lock is not taken for
transports that are not caching auth info.

3ab4d8b121 knfsd: nfsd: set rq_client to ip-address-determined-domain
We want it to be possible for users to restrict exports both by IP address and
by pseudoflavor.  The pseudoflavor information has previously been passed
using special auth_domains stored in the rq_client field.  After the preceding
patch that stored the pseudoflavor in rq_pflavor, that's now superfluous; so
now we use rq_client for the ip information, as auth_null and auth_unix do.

However, we keep around the special auth_domain in the rq_gssclient field for
backwards compatibility purposes, so we can still do upcalls using the old
"gss/pseudoflavor" auth_domain if upcalls using the unix domain to give us an
appropriate export.  This allows us to continue supporting old mountd.

In fact, for this first patch, we always use the "gss/pseudoflavor"
auth_domain (and only it) if it is available; thus rq_client is ignored in the
auth_gss case, and this patch on its own makes no change in behavior; that
will be left to later patches.

Note on idmap: I'm almost tempted to just replace the auth_domain in the idmap
upcall by a dummy value--no version of idmapd has ever used it, and it's
unlikely anyone really wants to perform idmapping differently depending on the
where the client is (they may want to perform *credential* mapping
differently, but that's a different matter--the idmapper just handles id's
used in getattr and setattr).  But I'm updating the idmapd code anyway, just
out of general backwards-compatibility paranoia.

AUTH_UNIX authentication (the standard with NFS) has a limit of 16 groups ids.
 This causes problems for people in more than 16 groups.

So allow the server to map a uid into a list of group ids based on local

If there is no process on the server responding to upcalls, the gidlist in the
request will still be used.

e0bb89ef03 [PATCH] knfsd: nfsd: don't drop silently on upcall deferral
To avoid tying up server threads when nfsd makes an upcall (to mountd, to get
export options, to idmapd, for nfsv4 name<->id mapping, etc.), we temporarily
"drop" the request and save enough information so that we can revisit it
later.

Certain failures during the deferral process can cause us to really drop the
request and never revisit it.

This is often less than ideal, and is unacceptable in the NFSv4 case--rfc 3530
forbids the server from dropping a request without also closing the
connection.

As a first step, we modify the deferral code to return -ETIMEDOUT (which is
translated to nfserr_jukebox in the v3 and v4 cases, and remains a drop in the
v2 case).

7b2b1fee30 [PATCH] knfsd: knfsd: cache ipmap per TCP socket
Speed up high call-rate workloads by caching the struct ip_map for the peer on
the connected struct svc_sock instead of looking it up in the ip_map cache
hashtable on every call.  This helps workloads using AUTH_SYS authentication
over TCP.

Testing was on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients, each with 16
synthetic client threads simulating an rsync (i.e.  recursive directory
listing) workload reading from an i386 RH9 install image (161480 regular files
in 10841 directories) on the server.  That tree is small enough to fill in the
server's RAM so no disk traffic was involved.  This setup gives a sustained
call rate in excess of 60000 calls/sec before being CPU-bound on the server.

Profiling showed strcmp(), called from ip_map_match(), was taking 4.8% of each
CPU, and ip_map_lookup() was taking 2.9%.  This patch drops both contribution
into the profile noise.

Note that the above result overstates this value of this patch for most
workloads.  The synthetic clients are all using separate IP addresses, so
there are 64 entries in the ip_map cache hash.  Because the kernel measured
contained the bug fixed in commit

commit 1f1e030bf7

and was running on 64bit little-endian machine, probably all of those 64
entries were on a single chain, thus increasing the cost of ip_map_lookup().

With a modern kernel you would need more clients to see the same amount of
performance improvement.  This patch has helped to scale knfsd to handle a
deployment with 2000 NFS clients.

* add svc_getnl():
	Take network-endian value from buffer, convert to host-endian
	and return it.
* add svc_putnl():
	Take host-endian value, convert to network-endian and put it
	into a buffer.
* annotate svc_getu32()/svc_putu32() as dealing with network-endian.
* convert to svc_getnl(), svc_putnl().
