2005-10-18RPCSEC_GSS: client-side privacy supportJ. Bruce Fields
Add the code to the client side to handle privacy. This is dead code until we actually add privacy support to krb5. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2005-10-18RPCSEC_GSS: cleanup au_rslack calculationJ. Bruce Fields
Various xdr encode routines use au_rslack to guess where the reply argument will end up, so we can set up the xdr_buf to recieve data into the right place for zero copy. Currently we calculate the au_rslack estimate when we check the verifier. Normally this only depends on the verifier size. In the integrity case we add a few bytes to allow for a length and sequence number. It's a bit simpler to calculate only the verifier size when we check the verifier, and delay the full calculation till we unwrap. Signed-off-by: J.

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>
2005-10-18SUNRPC: Provide a callback to allow free pages allocated during xdr encodingJ. Bruce Fields
For privacy, we need to allocate pages to store the encrypted data (passed in pages can't be used without the risk of corrupting data in the page cache). So we need a way to free that memory after the request has been transmitted. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2005-10-18RPC: stops the release_pipe() funtion from being called twiceSteve Dickson

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

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: 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: make sure to get the same local port number when reconnectingChuck Lever
Implement a best practice: if the remote end drops our connection, try to reconnect using the same port number. This is important because the NFS server's Duplicate Reply Cache often hashes on the source port number. If the client reuses the port number when it reconnects, the server's DRC will be more effective. Based on suggestions by Mike Eisler, Olaf Kirch, and Alexey Kuznetsky. Test-plan: Destructive testing. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: allow RPC client's port range to be adjustableChuck Lever
Select an RPC client source port between 650 and 1023 instead of between 1 and 800. The old range conflicts with a number of network services. Provide sysctls to allow admins to select a different port range. Note that this doesn't affect user-level RPC library behavior, which still uses 1 to 800. Based on a suggestion by Olaf Kirch <okir@suse.de>. Test-plan: Repeated mount and unmount. Destructive testing. Idle timeouts.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: add a release_rqst callout to the RPC transport switchChuck Lever
The final place where congestion control state is adjusted is in xprt_release, where each request is finally released. Add a callout there to allow transports to perform additional processing when a request is about to be released. Test-plan: Use WAN simulation to cause sporadic bursty packet loss.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: separate xprt_timer implementationsChuck Lever

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: expose API for serializing access to RPC transportsChuck Lever
The next method we abstract is the one that releases a transport, allowing another task to have access to the transport. Again, one generic version of this is provided for transports that don't need the RPC client to perform congestion control, and one version is for transports that can use the original Van Jacobson implementation in xprt.c.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: expose API for serializing access to RPC transportsChuck Lever
The next several patches introduce an API that allows transports to choose whether the RPC client provides congestion control or whether the transport itself provides it. The first method we abstract is the one that serializes access to the RPC transport to prevent the bytes from different requests from mingling together. This method provides proper request serialization and the opportunity to prevent new requests from being started because the transport is congested. The normal situation is for the transport to handle congestion control itself. Although NFS over UDP was first, it has been recognized after years of experience that having the transport provide congestion control is much better than doing it in the RPC client. Thus TCP, and probably every future transport implementation, will use the default method, xprt_lock_write, provided in xprt.c, which does not provide any kind of congestion control. UDP can continue using the xprt.c-provided Van Jacobson congestion avoidance implementation. Test-plan: Use WAN simulation to cause sporadic bursty packet loss.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: add API to set transport-specific timeoutsChuck Lever
Prepare the way to remove the "xprt->nocong" variable by adding a callout to the RPC client transport switch API to handle setting RPC retransmit timeouts. Add a pair of generic helper functions that provide the ability to set a simple fixed timeout, or to set a timeout based on the state of a round- trip estimator.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: separate TCP and UDP socket write pathsChuck Lever

Compiler optimization removes unneeded code from xs_sendpages, as this function is now called with some constant arguments. We can now cleanly perform transport protocol-specific return code testing and error recovery in each path. Test-plan: Millions of fsx operations.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: proper soft timeout behavior for rpcbindChuck Lever

2005-09-07[PATCH] sunrpc: cache_register can use wrong module referenceBruce Allan
When registering an RPC cache, cache_register() always sets the owner as the sunrpc module. However, there are RPC caches owned by other modules. With the incorrect owner setting, the real owning module can be removed potentially with an open reference to the cache from userspace. For example, if one were to stop the nfs server and unmount the nfsd filesystem, the nfsd module could be removed eventhough rpc.idmapd had references to the idtoname and nametoid caches (i.e. /proc/net/rpc/nfs4.<cachename>/channel is still open). This resulted in a system panic on one of our machines when attempting to restart the nfs services after reloading the nfsd module. The following patch adds a 'struct module *owner' field in struct cache_detail. The owner is further assigned to the struct proc_dir_entry in cache_register() so that the module cannot be unloaded while user-space daemons have an open reference on the associated file under /proc.
