2006-01-06SUNRPC: get rid of cl_chattyChuck Lever
Clean up: Every ULP that uses the in-kernel RPC client, except the NLM client, sets cl_chatty. There's no reason why NLM shouldn't set it, so just get rid of cl_chatty and always be verbose. Test-plan: Compile with CONFIG_NFS enabled. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-01-06SUNRPC: new interface to force an RPC rebindChuck Lever
We'd like to hide fields in rpc_xprt and rpc_clnt from upper layer protocols. Start by creating an API to force RPC rebind, replacing logic that simply sets cl_port to zero. Test-plan: Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily). Connectathon with UDP and TCP. NFSv2/3 and NFSv4 mounting should be carefully checked. Probably need to rig a server where certain services aren't running, or that returns an error for some typical operation.

2006-01-06SUNRPC: switchable buffer allocationChuck Lever
Add RPC client transport switch support for replacing buffer management on a per-transport basis. In the current IPv4 socket transport implementation, RPC buffers are allocated as needed for each RPC message that is sent. Some transport implementations may choose to use pre-allocated buffers for encoding, sending, receiving, and unmarshalling RPC messages, however. For transports capable of direct data placement, the buffers can be carved out of a pre-registered area of memory rather than from a slab cache. Test-plan: Millions of fsx operations. Performance characterization with "sio" and "iozone". Use oprofile and other tools to look for significant regression in CPU utilization.

2006-01-06SUNRPC: Ensure that SIGKILL will always terminate a synchronous RPC call.Trond Myklebust
...and make sure that the "intr" flag also enables SIGHUP and SIGTERM to interrupt RPC calls too (as per the Solaris implementation). Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2006-01-06RPC: Clean up RPC task structureTrond Myklebust
Shrink the RPC task structure. Instead of storing separate pointers for task->tk_exit and task->tk_release, put them in a structure. Also pass the user data pointer as a parameter instead of passing it via task->tk_calldata. This enables us to nest callbacks. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2005-11-09[PATCH] SUNRPC: don't reencode when looping in call transmit.Trond Myklebust
If the call to xprt_transmit() fails due to socket buffer space exhaustion, we do not need to re-encode the RPC message when we loop back through call_transmit. Re-encoding can actually end up triggering the WARN_ON() in call_decode() if we re-encode something like a read() request and auth->au_rslack has changed. It can also cause us to increment the RPCSEC_GSS sequence number beyond the limits of the allowed window.

2005-10-18SUNRPC: Retry wrap in case of memory allocation failure.J. Bruce Fields
For privacy we need to allocate extra pages to hold encrypted page data when wrapping requests. This allocation may fail, and we handle that case by waiting and retrying. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2005-10-18RPC: allow call_encode() to delay transmission of an RPC call.Trond Myklebust
Currently, call_encode will cause the entire RPC call to abort if it returns an error. This is unnecessarily rigid, and gets in the way of attempts to allow the NFSv4 layer to order RPC calls that carry sequence ids. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2005-10-18SUNRPC: Retry rpcbind requests if the server's portmapper isn't upChuck Lever
After a server crash/reboot, rebinding should always retry, otherwise requests on "hard" mounts will fail when they shouldn't. Test plan: Run a lock-intensive workload against a server while rebooting the server repeatedly.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC,NFS: new rpc_pipefs patchChristoph Hellwig
Currently rpc_mkdir/rpc_rmdir and rpc_mkpipe/mk_unlink have an API that's a little unfortunate. They take a path relative to the rpc_pipefs root and thus need to perform a full lookup. If you look at debugfs or usbfs they always store the dentry for directories they created and thus can pass in a dentry + single pathname component pair into their equivalents of the above functions. And in fact rpc_pipefs actually stores a dentry for all but one component so this change not only simplifies the core rpc_pipe code but also the callers. Unfortuntately this code path is only used by the NFS4 idmapper and AUTH_GSSAPI for which I don't have a test enviroment. Could someone give it a spin? It's the last bit needed before we can rework the lookup_hash API Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: rationalize set_buffer_sizeChuck Lever

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: parametrize various transport connect timeoutsChuck Lever
Each transport implementation can now set unique bind, connect, reestablishment, and idle timeout values. These are variables, allowing the values to be modified dynamically. This permits exponential backoff of any of these values, for instance. As an example, we implement exponential backoff for the connection reestablishment timeout. Test-plan: Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily). Connectathon with UDP and TCP.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: skip over transport-specific heads automaticallyChuck Lever

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: proper soft timeout behavior for rpcbindChuck Lever
Implement a best practice: for soft mounts, an rpcbind timeout should cause an RPC request to fail. This also provides an FSM hook for retrying an rpcbind with a different rpcbind protocol version. We'll use this later to try multiple rpcbind protocol versions when binding. To enable this, expose the RPC error code returned during a portmap request to the FSM so it can make some decision about how to report, retry, or fail the request. Test-plan: Hundreds of passes with connectathon NFSv3 locking suite, on the client and server.

2005-06-22[PATCH] RPC: Ensure rpc calls respects the RPC_NOINTR flagTrond Myklebust

2005-06-22[PATCH] RPC: [PATCH] improve rpcauthauth_create error returnsJ. Bruce Fields
Currently we return -ENOMEM for every single failure to create a new auth. This is actually accurate for auth_null and auth_unix, but for auth_gss it's a bit confusing. Allow rpcauth_create (and the ->create methods) to return errors. With this patch, the user may sometimes see an EINVAL instead. Whee. Signed-off-by: J.

support Ensure that we don't create an RPC client without checking that the server does indeed support the RPC program + version that we are trying to set up.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
