2012-05-31nfsd: wrap accesses to st_access_bmapJeff Layton
Currently, we do this for the most part with "bare" bitops, but eventually we'll need to expand the share mode code to handle access and deny modes on other nodes. In order to facilitate that code in the future, move to some generic accessor functions. For now, these are mostly static inlines, but eventually we'll want to move these to "real" functions that are able to handle multi-node configurations or have a way to "swap in" new operations to be done in lieu of or in conjunction with these atomic bitops.

2012-05-31nfsd: consolidate set_access and set_denyJeff Layton
These functions are identical. Also, rename them to bmap_to_share_mode to better reflect what they do, and have them just return the result instead of passing in a pointer to the storage location. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
2012-05-31NFSD: SETCLIENTID_CONFIRM returns NFS4ERR_CLID_INUSE too oftenChuck Lever
According to RFC 3530bis, the only items SETCLIENTID_CONFIRM processing should be concerned with is the clientid, clientid verifier, and principal. The client's IP address is not supposed to be interesting. And, NFS4ERR_CLID_INUSE is meant only for principal mismatches. I triggered this logic with a prototype UCS client -- one that uses the same nfs_client_id4 string for all servers. The client mounted our server via its IPv4, then via its IPv6 address.

2012-05-31LockD: service start function introducedStanislav Kinsbursky
This is just a code move, which from my POV makes the code look better. I.e. now on start we have 3 different stages: 1) Service creation. 2) Service per-net data allocation. 3) Service start.

2012-05-31SUNRPC: move per-net operations from svc_destroy()Stanislav Kinsbursky
The idea is to separate service destruction and per-net operations, because these are two different things and the mix looks ugly. Notes: 1) For NFS server this patch looks ugly (sorry for that). But these place will be rewritten soon during NFSd containerization. 2) LockD per-net counter increase int lockd_up() was moved prior to make_socks() to make lockd_down_net() call safe in case of error.

2012-05-31SUNRPC: new svc_bind() routine introducedStanislav Kinsbursky
This new routine is responsible for service registration in a specified network context. The idea is to separate service creation from per-net operations. Note also: since registering service with svc_bind() can fail, the service will be destroyed and during destruction it will try to unregister itself from rpcbind. In this case unregistration has to be skipped. Signed-off-by: Stanislav Kinsbursky <skinsbursky@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@redhat.com>
2012-05-31nfsd: add IPv6 addr escaping to fs_location hostsWeston Andros Adamson
The fs_location->hosts list is split on colons, but this doesn't work when IPv6 addresses are used (they contain colons). This patch adds the function nfsd4_encode_components_esc() to allow the caller to specify escape characters when splitting on 'sep'.

2012-04-11nfsd: don't use locks_in_grace to determine whether to call nfs4_grace_endJeff Layton
It's possible that lockd or another lock manager might still be on the list after we call nfsd4_end_grace. If the laundromat thread runs again at that point, then we could end up calling nfsd4_end_grace more than once. That's not only inefficient, but calling nfsd4_recdir_purge_old more than once could be problematic. Fix this by adding a new global "grace_ended" flag and use that to determine whether we've already called nfsd4_grace_end. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: J.

2012-04-11nfsd: don't fail unchecked creates of non-special filesJ. Bruce Fields
Allow a v3 unchecked open of a non-regular file succeed as if it were a lookup; typically a client in such a case will want to fall back on a local open, so succeeding and giving it the filehandle is more useful than failing with nfserr_exist, which makes it appear that nothing at all exists by that name. Similarly for v4, on an open-create, return the same errors we would on an attempt to open a non-regular file, instead of returning nfserr_exist. This fixes a problem found doing a v4 open of a symlink with O_RDONLY|O_CREAT, which resulted in the current client returning EEXIST. Thanks also to Trond for analysis.

2012-04-06Make the "word-at-a-time" helper functions more commonly usableLinus Torvalds
I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses them. This is preparation for that. This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's architecture-specific for two reasons: - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast bit count instruction, for example. - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using this. (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the right thing to do, of course) Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Fix from Eric Dumazet. 11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't. Let the natural sequence generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE settings, guide the tcp_push() calls. Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch effectively into GSO/TSO clusters. From Eric Dumazet. 12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we cannot touch it after queueing it like that. Fixes from Eric Dumazet. 13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer to transmit the PPP frame. But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the TX queue right before returning from the transmit method. Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case when it gets backlogged to the downstream device. David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until it's downstream can't take data any more. 14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver changes, re-add.

2012-04-05tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() onceEric Dumazet
commit 2f533844242 (tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets) added a regression for splice() calls using SPLICE_F_MORE. We need to call tcp_flush() at the end of the last page processed in tcp_sendpages(), or else transmits can be deferred and future sends stall. Add a new internal flag, MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, acting like MSG_MORE, but with different semantic. For all sendpage() providers, its a transparent change.

2012-04-05simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()Stephen Boyd
Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire tree. Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we can replace all the users of this function with simple_open(). This replacement was done with the following semantic patch: <smpl> @ open @ identifier open_f != simple_open; identifier i, f; @@ -int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) -{ ( -if (i->i_private) -f->private_data = i->i_private; | -f->private_data = i->i_private; ) -return 0; -} @ has_open depends on open @ identifier fops; identifier open.open_f; @@ struct file_operations fops = { ... -.open = open_f, +.open = simple_open, ... }; </smpl> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2012-04-05hugetlbfs: remove unregister_filesystem() when initializing moduleHillf Danton
It was introduced by d1d5e05ffdc1 ("hugetlbfs: return error code when initializing module") but as Al pointed out, is a bad idea. Quoted comments from Al: "Note that unregister_filesystem() in module init is *always* wrong; it's not an issue here (it's done too early to care about and realistically the box is not going anywhere - it'll panic when attempt to exec /sbin/init fails, if not earlier), but it's a damn bad example. Consider a normal fs module. Somebody loads it and in parallel with that we get a mount attempt on that fs type. It comes between register and failure exits that causes unregister; at that point we are screwed since grabbing a reference to module as done by mount is enough to prevent exit, but not to prevent the failure of init. As the result, module will get freed when init fails, mounted fs of that type be damned." So remove it.
