2008-04-24SUNRPC: Invalidate the RPCSEC_GSS session if the server dropped the requestTrond Myklebust
RFC 2203 requires the server to drop the request if it believes the RPCSEC_GSS context is out of sequence. The problem is that we have no way on the client to know why the server dropped the request. In order to avoid spinning forever trying to resend the request, the safe approach is therefore to always invalidate the RPCSEC_GSS context on every major timeout.

2008-04-23sunrpc: make token header values less confusingKevin Coffman
g_make_token_header() and g_token_size() add two too many, and therefore their callers pass in "(logical_value - 2)" rather than "logical_value" as hard-coded values which causes confusion. This dates back to the original g_make_token_header which took an optional token type (token_id) value and added it to the token.

2008-04-23SUNRPC: allow svc_recv to break out of 500ms sleep when alloc_page failsJeff Layton
svc_recv() calls alloc_page(), and if it fails it does a 500ms uninterruptible sleep and then reattempts. There doesn't seem to be any real reason for this to be uninterruptible, so change it to an interruptible sleep. Also check for kthread_stop() and signalled() after setting the task state to avoid races that might lead to sleeping after kthread_stop() wakes up the task. I've done some very basic smoke testing with this, but obviously it's hard to test the actual changes since this all depends on an alloc_page() call failing.

2008-04-23SUNRPC: have svc_recv() check kthread_should_stop()Jeff Layton
When using kthreads that call into svc_recv, we want to make sure that they do not block there for a long time when we're trying to take down the kthread. This patch changes svc_recv() to check kthread_should_stop() at the same places that it checks to see if it's signalled(). Also check just before svc_recv() tries to schedule(). By making sure that we check it just after setting the task state we can avoid having to use any locking or signalling to ensure it doesn't block for a long time. There's still a chance of a 500ms sleep if alloc_page() fails, but that should be a rare occurrence and isn't a terribly long time in the context of a kthread being taken down.

2008-04-19SUNRPC: Don't change the RPCSEC_GSS context on a credential that is in useTrond Myklebust
When a server rejects our credential with an AUTH_REJECTEDCRED or similar, we need to refresh the credential and then retry the request. However, we do want to allow any requests that are in flight to finish executing, so that we can at least attempt to process the replies that depend on this instance of the credential. The solution is to ensure that gss_refresh() looks up an entirely new RPCSEC_GSS credential instead of attempting to create a context for the existing invalid credential.

2008-04-19SUNRPC: Don't disconnect more than once if retransmitting NFSv4 requestsTrond Myklebust
NFSv4 requires us to ensure that we break the TCP connection before we're allowed to retransmit a request. However in the case where we're retransmitting several requests that have been sent on the same connection, we need to ensure that we don't interfere with the attempt to reconnect and/or break the connection again once it has been established. We therefore introduce a 'connection' cookie that is bumped every time a connection is broken. This allows requests to track if they need to force a disconnection.

2008-04-19SUNRPC: Fix read ordering problems with req->rq_private_buf.lenTrond Myklebust
We want to ensure that req->rq_private_buf.len is updated before req->rq_received, so that call_decode() doesn't use an old value for req->rq_rcv_buf.len. In 'call_decode()' itself, instead of using task->tk_status (which is set using req->rq_received) must use the actual value of req->rq_private_buf.len when deciding whether or not the received RPC reply is too short. Finally ensure that we set req->rq_rcv_buf.len to zero when retrying a request. A typo meant that we were resetting req->rq_private_buf.len in call_decode(), and then clobbering that value with the old rq_rcv_buf.len again in xprt_transmit().

2008-04-19SUNRPC: Don't attempt to destroy expired RPCSEC_GSS credentials..Trond Myklebust
..and always destroy using a 'soft' RPC call. Destroying GSS credentials isn't mandatory; the server can always cope with a few credentials not getting destroyed in a timely fashion. This actually fixes a hang situation. Basically, some servers will decide that the client is crazy if it tries to destroy an RPC context for which they have sent an RPCSEC_GSS_CREDPROBLEM, and so will refuse to talk to it for a while.

2008-04-19SUNRPC: Fix up xprt_write_space()Trond Myklebust

Remove the unlikely()s in xs_udp_write_space and xs_tcp_write_space. In fact, the most common case will be that there is nobody waiting for buffer space. SOCK_NOSPACE is there to tell the TCP layer whether or not the cwnd was limited by the application window. Ensure that we follow the same idiom as the rest of the networking layer here too. Finally, ensure that we clear SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE once we wake up, so that write_space() doesn't keep waking things up on xprt->pending. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-04-16IB/core: Add support for "send with invalidate" work requestsRoland Dreier
Add a new IB_WR_SEND_WITH_INV send opcode that can be used to mark a "send with invalidate" work request as defined in the iWARP verbs and the InfiniBand base memory management extensions. Also put "imm_data" and a new "invalidate_rkey" member in a new "ex" union in struct ib_send_wr. The invalidate_rkey member can be used to pass in an R_Key/STag to be invalidated. Add this new union to struct ib_uverbs_send_wr. Add code to copy the invalidate_rkey field in ib_uverbs_post_send(). Fix up low-level drivers to deal with the change to struct ib_send_wr, and just remove the imm_data initialization from net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/, since that code never does any send with immediate operations. Also, move the existing IB_DEVICE_SEND_W_INV flag to a new bit, since the iWARP drivers currently in the tree set the bit. The amso1100 driver at least will silently fail to honor the IB_SEND_INVALIDATE bit if passed in as part of userspace send requests (since it does not implement kernel bypass work request queueing). Remove the flag from all existing drivers that set it until we know which ones are OK. The values chosen for the new flag is not consecutive to avoid clashing with flags defined in the XRC patches, which are not merged yet but which are already in use and are likely to be merged soon.

2008-03-26SVCRDMA: Check num_sge when setting LAST_CTXT bitTom Tucker
The RDMACTXT_F_LAST_CTXT bit was getting set incorrectly when the last chunk in the read-list spanned multiple pages. This resulted in a kernel panic when the wrong context was used to build the RPC iovec page list. RDMA_READ is used to fetch RPC data from the client for NFS_WRITE requests. A scatter-gather is used to map the advertised client side buffer to the server-side iovec and associated page list. WR contexts are used to convey which scatter-gather entries are handled by each WR. When the write data is large, a single RPC may require multiple RDMA_READ requests so the contexts for a single RPC are chained together in a linked list. The last context in this list is marked with a bit RDMACTXT_F_LAST_CTXT so that when this WR completes, the CQ handler code can enqueue the RPC for processing. The code in rdma_read_xdr was setting this bit on the last two contexts on this list when the last read-list chunk spanned multiple pages. This caused the svc_rdma_recvfrom logic to incorrectly build the RPC and caused the kernel to crash because the second-to-last context doesn't contain the iovec page list. Modified the condition that sets this bit so that it correctly detects the last context for the RPC.

2008-03-24SVCRDMA: Use only 1 RDMA read scatter entry for iWARP adaptersRoland Dreier
The iWARP protocol limits RDMA read requests to a single scatter entry. NFS/RDMA has code in rdma_read_max_sge() that is supposed to limit the sge_count for RDMA read requests to 1, but the code to do that is inside an #ifdef RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP block. In the mainline kernel at least, RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP is an enum and not a preprocessor #define, so the #ifdef'ed code is never compiled. In my test of a kernel build with -j8 on an NFS/RDMA mount, this problem eventually leads to trouble starting with: svcrdma: Error posting send = -22 svcrdma : RDMA_READ error = -22 and things go downhill from there. The trivial fix is to delete the #ifdef guard. The check seems to be a remnant of when the NFS/RDMA code was not merged and needed to compile against multiple kernel versions, although I don't think it ever worked as intended. In any case now that the code is upstream there's no need to test whether the RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP constant is defined or not. Without this patch, my kernel build on an NFS/RDMA mount using NetEffect adapters quickly and 100% reproducibly failed with an error like: ld: final link failed: Software caused connection abort With the patch applied I was able to complete a kernel build on the same setup. (Tom Tucker says this is "actually an _ancient_ remnant when it had to compile against iWARP vs. non-iWARP enabled OFA trees.")

2008-03-14SUNRPC: Add a helper rpcauth_lookup_generic_cred()Trond Myklebust
The NFSv4 protocol allows clients to negotiate security protocols on the fly in the case where an administrator on the server changes the export settings and/or in the case where we may have a filesystem migration event. Instead of having the NFS client code cache credentials that are tied to a particular AUTH method it is therefore preferable to have a generic credential that can be converted into whatever AUTH is in use by the RPC client when the read/write/sillyrename/... is put on the wire. We do this by means of the new "generic" credential, which basically just caches the minimal information that is needed to look up an RPCSEC_GSS, AUTH_SYS, or AUTH_NULL credential.
