2011-06-15NLM: Don't hang forever on NLM unlock requestsTrond Myklebust
If the NLM daemon is killed on the NFS server, we can currently end up hanging forever on an 'unlock' request, instead of aborting. Basically, if the rpcbind request fails, or the server keeps returning garbage, we really want to quit instead of retrying.

2011-05-27SUNRPC: Support for RPC over AF_LOCAL transportsChuck Lever
TI-RPC introduces the capability of performing RPC over AF_LOCAL sockets. It uses this mainly for registering and unregistering local RPC services securely with the local rpcbind, but we could also conceivably use it as a generic upcall mechanism. This patch provides a client-side only implementation for the moment. We might also consider a server-side implementation to provide AF_LOCAL access to NLM (for statd downcalls, and such like). Autobinding is not supported on kernel AF_LOCAL transports at this time. Kernel ULPs must specify the pathname of the remote endpoint when an AF_LOCAL transport is created. rpcbind supports registering services available via AF_LOCAL, so the kernel could handle it with some adjustment to ->rpcbind and ->set_port. But we don't need this feature for doing upcalls via well-known named sockets. This has not been tested with ULPs that move a substantial amount of data. Thus, I can't attest to how robust the write_space and congestion management logic is. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2011-04-24SUNRPC: Allow RPC calls to return ETIMEDOUT instead of EIOTrond Myklebust
On occasion, it is useful for the NFS layer to distinguish between soft timeouts and other EIO errors due to (say) encoding errors, or authentication errors. The following patch ensures that the default behaviour of the RPC layer remains to return EIO on soft timeouts (until we have audited all the callers).

2011-03-17RPC: killing RPC tasks races fixedStanislav Kinsbursky
RPC task RPC_TASK_QUEUED bit is set must be checked before trying to wake up task rpc_killall_tasks() because task->tk_waitqueue can not be set (equal to NULL). Also, as Trond Myklebust mentioned, such approach (instead of checking tk_waitqueue to NULL) allows us to "optimise away the call to rpc_wake_up_queued_task() altogether for those tasks that aren't queued". Here is an example of dereferencing of tk_waitqueue equal to NULL: CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 2 -------------------- --------------------- -------------------------- nfs4_run_open_task rpc_run_task rpc_execute rpc_set_active rpc_make_runnable (waiting) rpc_async_schedule nfs4_open_prepare nfs_wait_on_sequence nfs_umount_begin rpc_killall_tasks rpc_wake_up_task rpc_wake_up_queued_task spin_lock(tk_waitqueue == NULL) BUG() rpc_sleep_on spin_lock(&q->lock) __rpc_sleep_on task->tk_waitqueue = q Signed-off-by: Stanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@openvz.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2009-12-03SUNRPC: Use soft connect semantics when performing RPC pingChuck Lever
Currently, if a remote RPC service is unreachable, an RPC ping will hang until the underlying transport connect attempt times out. A more desirable behavior might be to have the ping fail immediately so upper layers can recover appropriately. In the case of an NFS mount, for instance, this would mean the mount(2) system call could fail immediately if the server isn't listening, rather than hanging uninterruptibly for more than 3 minutes. Change rpc_ping() so that it fails immediately for connection-oriented transports. rpc_create() will then fail immediately for such transports if an RPC ping was requested.

2009-12-03SUNRPC: Use soft connects for autobinding over TCPChuck Lever
Autobinding is handled by the rpciod process, not in user processes that are generating regular RPC requests. Thus autobinding is usually not affected by signals targetting user processes, such as KILL or timer expiration events. In addition, an RPC request generated by a user process that has RPC_TASK_SOFTCONN set and needs to perform an autobind will hang if the remote rpcbind service is not available. For rpcbind queries on connection-oriented transports, let's use the new soft connect semantic to return control to the user's process quickly, if the kernel's rpcbind client can't connect to the remote rpcbind service. Logic is introduced in call_bind_status() to handle connection errors that occurred during an asynchronous rpcbind query. The logic abandons the rpcbind query if the RPC request has SOFTCONN set, and retries after a few seconds in the normal case.

2009-12-03SUNRPC: Allow RPCs to fail quickly if the server is unreachableChuck Lever
The kernel sometimes makes RPC calls to services that aren't running. Because the kernel's RPC client always assumes the hard retry semantic when reconnecting a connection-oriented RPC transport, the underlying reconnect logic takes a long while to time out, even though the remote may have responded immediately with ECONNREFUSED. In certain cases, like upcalls to our local rpcbind daemon, or for NFS mount requests, we'd like the kernel to fail immediately if the remote service isn't reachable. This allows another transport to be tried immediately, or the pending request can be abandoned quickly. Introduce a per-request flag which controls how call_transmit_status() behaves when request transmission fails because the server cannot be reached. We don't want soft connection semantics to apply to other errors. The default case of the switch statement in call_transmit_status() no longer falls through; the fall through code is copied to the default case, and a "break;" is added. The transport's connection re-establishment timeout is also ignored for such requests. We want the request to fail immediately, so the reconnect delay is skipped. Additionally, we don't want a connect failure here to further increase the reconnect timeout value, since this request will not be retried.

2009-12-03SUNRPC: Check explicitly for tk_status == 0 in call_transmit_status()Chuck Lever
The success case, where task->tk_status == 0, is by far the most frequent case in call_transmit_status(). The default: arm of the switch statement in call_transmit_status() handles the 0 case. default: was moved close to the top of the switch statement in call_transmit_status() under the theory that the compiler places object code for the earliest arms of a switch statement first, making the CPU do less work. The default: arm of a switch statement, however, is executed only after all the other cases have been checked. Even if the compiler rearranges the object code, the default: arm is the "last resort", meaning all of the other cases have been explicitly exhausted. That makes the current arrangement about as inefficient as it gets for the common case. To fix this, add an explicit check for zero before the switch statement. That forces the compiler to do the zero check first, no matter what optimizations it might try to do to the switch statement.

2009-08-28SUNRPC: Fix rpc_task_force_reencodeTrond Myklebust
This patch fixes the bug that was reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14053 If we're in the case where we need to force a reencode and then resend of the RPC request, due to xprt_transmit failing with a networking error, then we _must_ retransmit the entire request.

2009-08-09SUNRPC: clean up rpc_setup_pipedir()Trond Myklebust
There is still a little wart or two there: Since we've already got a vfsmount, we might as well pass that in to rpc_create_client_dir. Another point is that if we open code __rpc_lookup_path() here, then we can avoid looking up the entire parent directory path over and over again: it doesn't change. Also get rid of rpc_clnt->cl_pathname, since it has no users... Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
