On an NFSv4.1 server cache miss that causes an upcall, NFS4ERR_DELAY will be
returned. It is up to the NFSv4.1 client to resend only the operations that
have not been processed.
Initialize rq_usedeferral to 1 in svc_process(). It sill be turned off in
nfsd4_proc_compound() only when NFSv4.1 Sessions are used.
Note: this isn't an adequate solution on its own. It's acceptable as a way
to get some minimal 4.1 up and working, but we're going to have to find a
way to avoid returning DELAY in all common cases before 4.1 can really be
considered ready.

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

Move error reporting for RPC registration to rpcb_register's caller.
This way the caller can choose to recover silently from certain
errors, but report errors it does not recognize. Error reporting

The kernel registers RPC services with the local portmapper with an
rpcbind SET upcall to the local portmapper. Traditionally, this used
rpcbind v2 (PMAP), but registering RPC services that support IPv6
requires rpcbind v3 or v4.
Since we now want separate PF_INET and PF_INET6 listeners for each
kernel RPC service, svc_register() will do only one of those
registrations at a time.
For PF_INET, it tries an rpcb v4 SET upcall first; if that fails, it
does a legacy portmap SET. This makes it entirely backwards
compatible with legacy user space, but allows a proper v4 SET to be
used if rpcbind is available.
For PF_INET6, it does an rpcb v4 SET upcall. If that fails, it fails
the registration, and thus the transport creation. This let's the
kernel detect if user space is able to support IPv6 RPC services, and
thus whether it should maintain a PF_INET6 listener for each service
at all.
This provides complete backwards compatibilty with legacy user space
that only supports rpcbind v2. The only down-side is that registering
a new kernel RPC service may take an extra exchange with the local
portmapper on legacy systems, but this is an infrequent operation and
is done over UDP (no lingering sockets in TIMEWAIT), so it shouldn't
be consequential.

Our initial implementation of svc_unregister() assumed that PMAP_UNSET
cleared all rpcbind registrations for a [program, version] tuple.
However, we now have evidence that PMAP_UNSET clears only "inet"
entries, and not "inet6" entries, in the rpcbind database.
For backwards compatibility with the legacy portmapper, the
svc_unregister() function also must work if user space doesn't support
rpcbind version 4 at all.
Thus we'll send an rpcbind v4 UNSET, and if that fails, we'll send a
PMAP_UNSET.
This simplifies the code in svc_unregister() and provides better
backwards compatibility with legacy user space that does not support
rpcbind version 4. We can get rid of the conditional compilation in
here as well.

The user space TI-RPC library uses an empty string for the universal
address when unregistering all target addresses for [program, version].
The kernel's rpcb client should behave the same way.
Here, we are switching between several registration methods based on
the protocol family of the incoming address. Rename the other rpcbind
v4 registration functions to make it clear that they, as well, are
switched on protocol family. In /etc/netconfig, this is either "inet"
or "inet6".
NB: The loopback protocol families are not supported in the kernel.

RFC 1833 has little to say about the contents of r_owner; it only
specifies that it is a string, and states that it is used to control
who can UNSET an entry.
Our port of rpcbind (from Sun) assumes this string contains a numeric
UID value, not alphabetical or symbolic characters, but checks this
value only for AF_LOCAL RPCB_SET or RPCB_UNSET requests. In all other
cases, rpcbind ignores the contents of the r_owner string.
The reference user space implementation of rpcb_set(3) uses a numeric
UID for all SET/UNSET requests (even via the network) and an empty
string for all other requests. We emulate that behavior here to
maintain bug-for-bug compatibility.

The RPC client returns -EPROTONOSUPPORT if there is a protocol version
mismatch (ie the remote RPC server doesn't support the RPC protocol
version sent by the client).
Helpers for the svc_register() function return -EPROTONOSUPPORT if they
don't recognize the passed-in IPPROTO_ value.
These are two entirely different failure modes.
Have the helpers return -ENOPROTOOPT instead of -EPROTONOSUPPORT. This
will allow callers to determine more precisely what the underlying
problem is, and decide to report or recover appropriately.

The kernel uses an IPv6 loopback address when registering its AF_INET6
RPC services so that it can tell whether the local portmapper is
actually IPv6-enabled.
Since the legacy portmapper doesn't listen on IPv6, however, this
causes a long timeout on older systems if the kernel happens to try
creating and registering an AF_INET6 RPC service. Originally I wanted
to use a connected transport (either TCP or connected UDP) so that the
upcall would fail immediately if the portmapper wasn't listening on
IPv6, but we never agreed on what transport to use.
In the end, it's of little consequence to the kernel whether the local
portmapper is listening on IPv6. It's only important whether the
portmapper supports rpcbind v4. And the kernel can't tell that at all
if it is sending requests via IPv6 -- the portmapper will just ignore
them.
So, send both rpcbind v2 and v4 SET/UNSET requests via IPv4 loopback
to maintain better backwards compatibility between new kernels and
legacy user space, and prevent multi-second hangs in some cases when
the kernel attempts to register RPC services.

We are about to convert to using separate RPC listener sockets for
PF_INET and PF_INET6. This echoes the way IPv6 is handled in user
space by TI-RPC, and eliminates the need for ULPs to worry about
mapped IPv4 AF_INET6 addresses when doing address comparisons.
Start by setting the IPV6ONLY flag on PF_INET6 RPC listener sockets.

The sv_family field is going away. Instead of using sv_family, have
the svc_register() function take a protocol family argument.
Since this argument represents a protocol family, and not an address
family, this argument takes an int, as this is what is passed to
sock_create_kern(). Also make sure svc_register's helpers are
checking for PF_FOO instead of AF_FOO. The value of [AP]F_FOO are
equivalent; this is simply a symbolic change to reflect the semantics
of the value stored in that variable.
sock_create_kern() should return EPFNOSUPPORT if the passed-in
protocol family isn't supported, but it uses EAFNOSUPPORT for this
case. We will stick with that tradition here, as svc_register()
is called by the RPC server in the same path as sock_create_kern().

In 2007, commit e65fe3976f594603ed7b1b4a99d3e9b867f573ea added
additional sanity checking to rpcb_decode_getaddr() to make sure we
were getting a reply that was long enough to be an actual universal
address. If the uaddr string isn't long enough, the XDR decoder
returns EIO.
However, an empty string is a valid RPCB_GETADDR response if the
requested service isn't registered. Moreover, "::.n.m" is also a
valid RPCB_GETADDR response for IPv6 addresses that is shorter
than rpcb_decode_getaddr()'s lower limit of 11. So this sanity
check introduced a regression for rpcbind requests against IPv6
remotes.
So revert the lower bound check added by commit
e65fe3976f594603ed7b1b4a99d3e9b867f573ea, and add an explicit check
for an empty uaddr string, similar to libtirpc's rpcb_getaddr(3).

This fixes a regression against FreeBSD servers as reported by Tomas
Kasparek. Apparently when using RPC over a TCP socket, the FreeBSD servers
don't ever react to the client closing the socket, and so commit
e06799f958bf7f9f8fae15f0c6f519953fb0257c (SUNRPC: Use shutdown() instead of
close() when disconnecting a TCP socket) causes the setup to hang forever
whenever the client attempts to close and then reconnect.
We break the deadlock by adding a 'linger2' style timeout to the socket,
after which, the client will abort the connection using a TCP 'RST'.
The default timeout is set to 15 seconds. A subsequent patch will put it
under user control by means of a systctl.

Allow the NFSv4 server to make use of TCP autotuning behaviour, which
was previously disabled by setting the sk_userlocks variable.
Set the receive buffers to be big enough to receive the whole RPC
request, and set this for the listening socket, not the accept socket.
Remove the code that readjusts the receive/send buffer sizes for the
accepted socket. Previously this code was used to influence the TCP
window management behaviour, which is no longer needed when autotuning
is enabled.
This can improve IO bandwidth on networks with high bandwidth-delay
products, where a large tcp window is required. It also simplifies
performance tuning, since getting adequate tcp buffers previously
required increasing the number of nfsd threads.

Avoid overloading the CPU scheduler with enormous load averages
when handling high call-rate NFS loads. When the knfsd bottom half
is made aware of an incoming call by the socket layer, it tries to
choose an nfsd thread and wake it up. As long as there are idle
threads, one will be woken up.
If there are lot of nfsd threads (a sensible configuration when
the server is disk-bound or is running an HSM), there will be many
more nfsd threads than CPUs to run them. Under a high call-rate
low service-time workload, the result is that almost every nfsd is
runnable, but only a handful are actually able to run. This situation
causes two significant problems:
1. The CPU scheduler takes over 10% of each CPU, which is robbing
the nfsd threads of valuable CPU time.
2. At a high enough load, the nfsd threads starve userspace threads
of CPU time, to the point where daemons like portmap and rpc.mountd
do not schedule for tens of seconds at a time. Clients attempting
to mount an NFS filesystem timeout at the very first step (opening
a TCP connection to portmap) because portmap cannot wake up from
select() and call accept() in time.
Disclaimer: these effects were observed on a SLES9 kernel, modern
kernels' schedulers may behave more gracefully.
The solution is simple: keep in each svc_pool a counter of the number
of threads which have been woken but have not yet run, and do not wake
any more if that count reaches an arbitrary small threshold.
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. The server was running 128 nfsds.
Profiling showed schedule() taking 6.7% of every CPU, and __wake_up()
taking 5.2%. This patch drops those contributions to 3.0% and 2.2%.
Load average was over 120 before the patch, and 20.9 after.
This patch is a forward-ported version of knfsd-avoid-nfsd-overload
which has been shipping in the SGI "Enhanced NFS" product since 2006.

Enforce the comment in xs_tcp_connect_worker4/xs_tcp_connect_worker6 that
we should delay, then retry on certain connection errors.

While we should definitely return socket errors to the task that is
currently trying to send data, there is no need to propagate the same error
to all the other tasks on xprt->pending. Doing so actually slows down
recovery, since it causes more than one tasks to attempt socket recovery.

Ensure that we pick up and handle socket errors as they occur.

If we get an ECONNREFUSED error, we currently go to sleep on the
'xprt->sending' wait queue. The problem is that no timeout is set there,
and there is nothing else that will wake the task up later.
We should deal with ECONNREFUSED in call_status, given that is where we
also deal with -EHOSTDOWN, and friends.

...so that we can distinguish between when we need to shutdown and when we
don't. Also remove the call to xs_tcp_shutdown() from xs_tcp_connect(),
since xprt_connect() makes the same test.

If the socket is unconnected, and xprt_transmit() returns ENOTCONN, we
currently give up the lock on the transport channel. Doing so means that
the lock automatically gets assigned to the next task in the xprt->sending
queue, and so that task needs to be woken up to do the actual connect.
The following patch aims to avoid that unnecessary task switch.
