An optional boot parameter is introduced to allow client
administrators to specify a string that the Linux NFS client can
insert into its nfs_client_id4 id string, to make it both more
globally unique, and to ensure that it doesn't change even if the
client's nodename changes.
If this boot parameter is not specified, the client's nodename is
used, as before.
Client installation procedures can create a unique string (typically,
a UUID) which remains unchanged during the lifetime of that client
instance. This works just like creating a UUID for the label of the
system's root and boot volumes.

"Server trunking" is a fancy named for a multi-homed NFS server.
Trunking might occur if a client sends NFS requests for a single
workload to multiple network interfaces on the same server. There
are some implications for NFSv4 state management that make it useful
for a client to know if a single NFSv4 server instance is
multi-homed. (Note this is only a consideration for NFSv4, not for
legacy versions of NFS, which are stateless).
If a client cares about server trunking, no NFSv4 operations can
proceed until that client determines who it is talking to. Thus
server IP trunking discovery must be done when the client first
encounters an unfamiliar server IP address.
The nfs_get_client() function walks the nfs_client_list and matches
on server IP address. The outcome of that walk tells us immediately
if we have an unfamiliar server IP address. It invokes
nfs_init_client() in this case. Thus, nfs4_init_client() is a good
spot to perform trunking discovery.
Discovery requires a client to establish a fresh client ID, so our
client will now send SETCLIENTID or EXCHANGE_ID as the first NFS
operation after a successful ping, rather than waiting for an
application to perform an operation that requires NFSv4 state.
The exact process for detecting trunking is different for NFSv4.0 and
NFSv4.1, so a minorversion-specific init_client callout method is
introduced.
CLID_INUSE recovery is important for the trunking discovery process.
CLID_INUSE is a sign the server recognizes the client's nfs_client_id4
id string, but the client is using the wrong principal this time for
the SETCLIENTID operation. The SETCLIENTID must be retried with a
series of different principals until one works, and then the rest of
trunking discovery can proceed.

Currently, when identifying itself to NFS servers, the Linux NFS
client uses a unique nfs_client_id4.id string for each server IP
address it talks with. For example, when client A talks to server X,
the client identifies itself using a string like "AX". The
requirements for these strings are specified in detail by RFC 3530
(and bis).
This form of client identification presents a problem for Transparent
State Migration. When client A's state on server X is migrated to
server Y, it continues to be associated with string "AX." But,
according to the rules of client string construction above, client
A will present string "AY" when communicating with server Y.
Server Y thus has no way to know that client A should be associated
with the state migrated from server X. "AX" is all but abandoned,
interfering with establishing fresh state for client A on server Y.
To support transparent state migration, then, NFSv4.0 clients must
instead use the same nfs_client_id4.id string to identify themselves
to every NFS server; something like "A".
Now a client identifies itself as "A" to server X. When a file
system on server X transitions to server Y, and client A identifies
itself as "A" to server Y, Y will know immediately that the state
associated with "A," whether it is native or migrated, is owned by
the client, and can merge both into a single lease.
As a pre-requisite to adding support for NFSv4 migration to the Linux
NFS client, this patch changes the way Linux identifies itself to NFS
servers via the SETCLIENTID (NFSv4 minor version 0) and EXCHANGE_ID
(NFSv4 minor version 1) operations.
In addition to removing the server's IP address from nfs_client_id4,
the Linux NFS client will also no longer use its own source IP address
as part of the nfs_client_id4 string. On multi-homed clients, the
value of this address depends on the address family and network
routing used to contact the server, thus it can be different for each
server.

Currently, the Linux client uses a unique nfs_client_id4.id string
when identifying itself to distinct NFS servers.
To support transparent state migration, the Linux client will have to
use the same nfs_client_id4 string for all servers it communicates
with (also known as the "uniform client string" approach). Otherwise
NFS servers can not recognize that open and lock state need to be
merged after a file system transition.
Unfortunately, there are some NFSv4.0 servers currently in the field
that do not tolerate the uniform client string approach.
Thus, by default, our NFSv4.0 mounts will continue to use the current
approach, and we introduce a mount option that switches them to use
the uniform model. Client administrators must identify which servers
can be mounted with this option. Eventually most NFSv4.0 servers will
be able to handle the uniform approach, and we can change the default.
The first mount of a server controls the behavior for all subsequent
mounts for the lifetime of that set of mounts of that server. After
the last mount of that server is gone, the client erases the data
structure that tracks the lease. A subsequent lease may then honor
a different "migration" setting.
This patch adds only the infrastructure for parsing the new mount
option. Support for uniform client strings is added in a subsequent
patch.

An ULP is supposed to be able to replace a GSS rpc_auth object with
another GSS rpc_auth object using rpcauth_create(). However,
rpcauth_create() in 3.5 reliably fails with -EEXIST in this case.
This is because when gss_create() attempts to create the upcall pipes,
sometimes they are already there. For example if a pipe FS mount
event occurs, or a previous GSS flavor was in use for this rpc_clnt.
It turns out that's not the only problem here. While working on a
fix for the above problem, we noticed that replacing an rpc_clnt's
rpc_auth is not safe, since dereferencing the cl_auth field is not
protected in any way.
So we're deprecating the ability of rpcauth_create() to switch an
rpc_clnt's security flavor during normal operation. Instead, let's
add a fresh API that clones an rpc_clnt and gives the clone a new
flavor before it's used.
This makes immediate use of the new __rpc_clone_client() helper.
This can be used in a similar fashion to rpcauth_create() when a
client is hunting for the correct security flavor. Instead of
replacing an rpc_clnt's security flavor in a loop, the ULP replaces
the whole rpc_clnt.
To fix the -EEXIST problem, any ULP logic that relies on replacing
an rpc_clnt's rpc_auth with rpcauth_create() must be changed to use
this API instead.

If the state manager thread is not actually able to fully recover from
some situation, it wakes up waiters, who kick off a new state manager
thread. Quite often the fresh invocation of the state manager is just
as successful.
This results in a livelock as the client dumps thousands of NFS
requests a second on the network in a vain attempt to recover. Not
very friendly.
To mitigate this situation, add a delay in the state manager after
an unhandled error, so that the client sends just a few requests
every second in this case.

Also few small changes:
1) current network namespace in nfs_callback_up() was replaced by transport net.
2) svc_shutdown_net() was moved prior to callback usage counter decrement

The OPEN operation has no way to differentiate an open for read and an
open for execution - both look like read to the server. This allowed
users to read files that didn't have READ access but did have EXEC access,
which is obviously wrong.
This patch adds an ACCESS call to the OPEN compound to handle the
difference between OPENs for reading and execution. Since we're going
through the trouble of calling ACCESS, we check all possible access bits
and cache the results hopefully avoiding an ACCESS call in the future.

I put the client into an open recovery loop by:
Client: Open file
read half
Server: Expire client (echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/nfsd/forget_clients)
Client: Drop vm cache (echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches)
finish reading file
This causes a loop because the client never updates the nfs4_state after
discovering that the delegation is invalid. This means it will keep
trying to read using the bad delegation rather than attempting to re-open
the file.

We already have a mechanism for blocking LAYOUTGET by means of the

provides at this point is to block layoutget once the layout segment

the pnfs_layout_hdr is destroyed before you can do pNFS on that file
again.
