2006-12-06SUNRPC: skb_read_bits is the same as xs_tcp_copy_dataChuck Lever
Clean-up: eliminate xs_tcp_copy_data -- it's exactly the same logic as the common routine skb_read_bits. The UDP and TCP socket read code now share the same routine for copying data into an xdr_buf. Now that skb_read_bits() is exported, rename it to avoid confusing it with a generic skb_* function. As these functions are XDR-specific, they should not have names that suggest they are of generic use. Also rename skb_read_and_csum_bits() to be consistent.

The sealalg is checked in several places, giving the impression it could be either SEAL_ALG_NONE or SEAL_ALG_DES. But in fact SEAL_ALG_NONE seems to be sufficient only for making mic's, and all the contexts we get must be capable of wrapping as well. So the sealalg must be SEAL_ALG_DES. As with signalg, just check for the right value on the downcall and ignore it otherwise.

2006-12-06rpc: spkm3 updateOlga Kornievskaia
This updates the spkm3 code to bring it up to date with our current understanding of the spkm3 spec. In doing so, we're changing the downcall format used by gssd in the spkm3 case, which will cause an incompatilibity with old userland spkm3 support. Since the old code a) didn't implement the protocol correctly, and b) was never distributed except in the form of some experimental patches from the citi web site, we're assuming this is OK. We do detect the old downcall format and print warning (and fail). We also include a version number in the new downcall format, to be used in the future in case any further change is required. In some more detail: - fix integrity support - removed dependency on NIDs. instead OIDs are used - known OID values for algorithms added. - fixed some context fields and types Signed-off-by: J.

2006-10-17[PATCH] knfsd: Allow lockd to drop replies as appropriateNeilBrown
It is possible for the ->fopen callback from lockd into nfsd to find that an answer cannot be given straight away (an upcall is needed) and so the request has to be 'dropped', to be retried later. That error status is not currently propagated back. So: Change nlm_fopen to return nlm error codes (rather than a private protocol) and define a new nlm_drop_reply code. Cause nlm_drop_reply to cause the rpc request to get rpc_drop_reply when this error comes back. Cause svc_process to drop a request which returns a status of rpc_drop_reply.

2006-10-06[PATCH] knfsd: tidy up up meaning of 'buffer size' in nfsd/sunrpcNeilBrown
There is some confusion about the meaning of 'bufsz' for a sunrpc server. In some cases it is the largest message that can be sent or received. In other cases it is the largest 'payload' that can be included in a NFS message. In either case, it is not possible for both the request and the reply to be this large. One of the request or reply may only be one page long, which fits nicely with NFS. So we remove 'bufsz' and replace it with two numbers: 'max_payload' and 'max_mesg'. Max_payload is the size that the server requests. It is used by the server to check the max size allowed on a particular connection: depending on the protocol a lower limit might be used. max_mesg is the largest single message that can be sent or received. It is calculated as the max_payload, rounded up to a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, and with PAGE_SIZE added to overhead. Only one of the request and reply may be this size. The other must be at most one page. Cc: Greg Banks <gnb@sgi.com> Cc: "J.

2006-10-04[PATCH] knfsd: register all RPC programs with portmapper by defaultOlaf Kirch
The NFSACL patches introduced support for multiple RPC services listening on the same transport. However, only the first of these services was registered with portmapper. This was perfectly fine for nfsacl, as you traditionally do not want these to show up in a portmapper listing.

2006-10-04[PATCH] knfsd: knfsd: cache ipmap per TCP socketGreg Banks
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 1f1e030bf75774b6a283518e1534d598e14147d4 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.

The limit over UDP remains at 32K. Also, make some of the apparently arbitrary sizing constants clearer. The biggest change here involves replacing NFSSVC_MAXBLKSIZE by a function of the rqstp. This allows it to be different for different protocols (udp/tcp) and also allows it to depend on the servers declared sv_bufsiz. Note that we don't actually increase sv_bufsz for nfs yet.

2006-10-04[PATCH] knfsd: Avoid excess stack usage in svc_tcp_recvfromNeilBrown
.. by allocating the array of 'kvec' in 'struct svc_rqst'. As we plan to increase RPCSVC_MAXPAGES from 8 upto 256, we can no longer allocate an array of this size on the stack. So we allocate it in 'struct svc_rqst'. However svc_rqst contains (indirectly) an array of the same type and size (actually several, but they are in a union). So rather than waste space, we move those arrays out of the separately allocated union and into svc_rqst to share with the kvec moved out of svc_tcp_recvfrom (various arrays are used at different times, so there is no conflict).

2006-10-04[PATCH] knfsd: Replace two page lists in struct svc_rqst with oneNeilBrown
We are planning to increase RPCSVC_MAXPAGES from about 8 to about 256. This means we need to be a bit careful about arrays of size RPCSVC_MAXPAGES. struct svc_rqst contains two such arrays. However the there are never more that RPCSVC_MAXPAGES pages in the two arrays together, so only one array is needed. The two arrays are for the pages holding the request, and the pages holding the reply. Instead of two arrays, we can simply keep an index into where the first reply page is. This patch also removes a number of small inline functions that probably server to obscure what is going on rather than clarify it, and opencode the needed functionality. Also remove the 'rq_restailpage' variable as it is *always* 0. i.e. if the response 'xdr' structure has a non-empty tail it is always in the same pages as the head. check counters are initilised and incr properly check for consistant usage of ++ etc maybe extra some inlines for common approach general review Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: Magnus Maatta <novell@kiruna.se> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-10-02[PATCH] knfsd: move tempsock aging to a timerGreg Banks
Following are 11 patches from Greg Banks which combine to make knfsd more Numa-aware. They reduce hitting on 'global' data structures, and create some data-structures that can be node-local. knfsd threads are bound to a particular node, and the thread to handle a new request is chosen from the threads that are attach to the node that received the interrupt. The distribution of threads across nodes can be controlled by a new file in the 'nfsd' filesystem, though the default approach of an even spread is probably fine for most sites. Some (old) numbers that show the efficacy of these patches: N == number of NICs == number of CPUs == nmber of clients. Number of NUMA nodes == N/2 N Throughput, MiB/s CPU usage, % (max=N*100) Before After Before After --- ------ ---- ----- ----- 4 312 435 350 228 6 500 656 501 418 8 562 804 690 589 This patch: Move the aging of RPC/TCP connection sockets from the main svc_recv() loop to a timer which uses a mark-and-sweep algorithm every 6 minutes. This reduces the amount of work that needs to be done in the main RPC loop and the length of time we need to hold the (effectively global) svc_serv->sv_lock.
