0ac83779fa NFS: Add new 'mountaddr=' mount option
I got the 'mounthost=' option wrong - it shouldn't look for an address
value, but rather a hostname value.  However, the in-kernel mount client
and NFS client cannot resolve a hostname by themselves; they rely on
user-land to pass in the resolved address.

Create a new mount option that does take an address so that the mount
program's address can be passed in.  The mount hostname is now ignored
by the kernel.

aad7000735 [NFS] [PATCH] NFS: initialize default port in kernel mount client
If no mount server port number is specified, the previous change to the
kernel mount client inadvertently allows the NFS server's port number to be
the used as the mount server's port number. If the user specifies an NFS
server port (-o port=x), the mount will fail.

The fix below sets the mount server's port to 0 if no mount server
port is specified by the user.

ddc01c0813 [NFS] [PATCH] NFS: show addr=ipaddr in /proc/mounts rather than
A minor thing, but useful when working with a server with multiple
addrs. This looks like it might also be necessary if Miklos' effort
to eliminate /etc/mtab ever comes to fruition.

When displaying mount options in /proc/mounts, the kernel prints
"addr=hostname". This info is redundant since we already have the
hostname displayed as part of the "device" section of the mount. This
patch changes it to display the IP address to which the socket is
connected.

e89a5a43b9 NFS: Fix the mount regression
This avoids the recent NFS mount regression (returning EBUSY when
mounting the same filesystem twice with different parameters).

The best I can do given the constraints appears to be to have the kernel
first look for a superblock that matches both the fsid and the
user-specified mount options, and then spawn off a new superblock if
that search fails.

Note that this is not the same as specifying nosharecache everywhere
since nosharecache will never attempt to match an existing superblock.

2) Don't allocate "struct shrinker".  It's not helpful.
3) Call them "register_shrinker" and "unregister_shrinker".
4) Call the function "shrink" not "shrinker".
5) Reduce the 17 lines of waffly comments to 13, but document it properly.

75180df2ed NFS: Add the mount option "nosharecache"
Prior to David Howell's mount changes in 2.6.18, users who mounted
different directories which happened to be from the same filesystem on the
server would get different super blocks, and hence could choose different
mount options. As long as there were no hard linked files that crossed from
one subtree to another, this was quite safe.
Post the changes, if the two directories are on the same filesystem (have
the same 'fsid'), they will share the same super block, and hence the same
mount options.

Add a flag to allow users to elect not to share the NFS super block with
another mount point, even if the fsids are the same. This will allow
users to set different mount options for the two different super blocks, as
was previously possible. It is still up to the user to ensure that there
are no cache coherency issues when doing this, however the default
behaviour will be to share super blocks whenever two paths result in
the same fsid.

The current NFS client congestion logic is severly broken, it marks the

implements its own waitqueue.

Replace this by a more regular congestion implementation that puts a cap on
the number of active writeback pages and uses the bdi congestion waitqueue.

Also always use an interruptible wait since it makes sense to be able to
SIGKILL the process even for mounts without 'intr'.

OCFS2 uses this to protect that part of the rename operation with a cluster
lock.

51b6ded4d9 NFSv4: When mounting with a port=0 argument, substitute port=2049
RFC3530 states that the registered port 2049 for the NFS protocol should be
the default configuration in order to allow clients not to use the RPC
binding protocols.
If the mount program sends us a port=0, we therefore substitute port=2049.

54ceac4515 NFS: Share NFS superblocks per-protocol per-server per-FSID
The attached patch makes NFS share superblocks between mounts from the same
server and FSID over the same protocol.

It does this by creating each superblock with a false root and returning the
real root dentry in the vfsmount presented by get_sb(). The root dentry set
starts off as an anonymous dentry if we don't already have the dentry for its
inode, otherwise it simply returns the dentry we already have.

We may thus end up with several trees of dentries in the superblock, and if at
some later point one of anonymous tree roots is discovered by normal filesystem
activity to be located in another tree within the superblock, the anonymous
root is named and materialises attached to the second tree at the appropriate
point.

Why do it this way? Why not pass an extra argument to the mount() syscall to
indicate the subpath and then pathwalk from the server root to the desired
directory? You can't guarantee this will work for two reasons:

 (1) The root and intervening nodes may not be accessible to the client.

     With NFS2 and NFS3, for instance, mountd is called on the server to get
     the filehandle for the tip of a path. mountd won't give us handles for
     anything we don't have permission to access, and so we can't set up NFS
     inodes for such nodes, and so can't easily set up dentries (we'd have to
     have ghost inodes or something).

     With this patch we don't actually create dentries until we get handles
     from the server that we can use to set up their inodes, and we don't
     actually bind them into the tree until we know for sure where they go.

 (2) Inaccessible symbolic links.

     If we're asked to mount two exports from the server, eg:

	mount warthog:/warthog/aaa/xxx /mmm
	mount warthog:/warthog/bbb/yyy /nnn

     We may not be able to access anything nearer the root than xxx and yyy,
     but we may find out later that /mmm/www/yyy, say, is actually the same
     directory as the one mounted on /nnn. What we might then find out, for
     example, is that /warthog/bbb was actually a symbolic link to
     /warthog/aaa/xxx/www, but we can't actually determine that by talking to
     the server until /warthog is made available by NFS.

     This would lead to having constructed an errneous dentry tree which we
     can't easily fix. We can end up with a dentry marked as a directory when
     it should actually be a symlink, or we could end up with an apparently
     hardlinked directory.

     With this patch we need not make assumptions about the type of a dentry
     for which we can't retrieve information, nor need we assume we know its
     place in the grand scheme of things until we actually see that place.

This patch reduces the possibility of aliasing in the inode and page caches for
inodes that may be accessed by more than one NFS export. It also reduces the
number of superblocks required for NFS where there are many NFS exports being
used from a server (home directory server + autofs for example).

This in turn makes it simpler to do local caching of network filesystems, as it
can then be guaranteed that there won't be links from multiple inodes in
separate superblocks to the same cache file.

Obviously, cache aliasing between different levels of NFS protocol could still
be a problem, but at least that gives us another key to use when indexing the
cache.

This patch makes the following changes:

 (1) The server record construction/destruction has been abstracted out into
     its own set of functions to make things easier to get right.  These have
     been moved into fs/nfs/client.c.

     All the code in fs/nfs/client.c has to do with the management of
     connections to servers, and doesn't touch superblocks in any way; the
     remaining code in fs/nfs/super.c has to do with VFS superblock management.

 (2) The sequence of events undertaken by NFS mount is now reordered:

     (a) A volume representation (struct nfs_server) is allocated.

     (b) A server representation (struct nfs_client) is acquired.  This may be
     	 allocated or shared, and is keyed on server address, port and NFS
     	 version.

     (c) If allocated, the client representation is initialised.  The state
     	 member variable of nfs_client is used to prevent a race during
     	 initialisation from two mounts.

     (d) For NFS4 a simple pathwalk is performed, walking from FH to FH to find
     	 the root filehandle for the mount (fs/nfs/getroot.c).  For NFS2/3 we
     	 are given the root FH in advance.

     (e) The volume FSID is probed for on the root FH.

     (f) The volume representation is initialised from the FSINFO record
     	 retrieved on the root FH.

     (g) sget() is called to acquire a superblock.  This may be allocated or
     	 shared, keyed on client pointer and FSID.

     (h) If allocated, the superblock is initialised.

     (i) If the superblock is shared, then the new nfs_server record is
     	 discarded.

     (j) The root dentry for this mount is looked up from the root FH.

     (k) The root dentry for this mount is assigned to the vfsmount.

 (3) nfs_readdir_lookup() creates dentries for each of the entries readdir()
     returns; this function now attaches disconnected trees from alternate
     roots that happen to be discovered attached to a directory being read (in
     the same way nfs_lookup() is made to do for lookup ops).

     The new d_materialise_unique() function is now used to do this, thus
     permitting the whole thing to be done under one set of locks, and thus
     avoiding any race between mount and lookup operations on the same
     directory.

 (4) The client management code uses a new debug facility: NFSDBG_CLIENT which
     is set by echoing 1024 to /proc/net/sunrpc/nfs_debug.

 (5) Clone mounts are now called xdev mounts.

 (6) Use the dentry passed to the statfs() op as the handle for retrieving fs
     statistics rather than the root dentry of the superblock (which is now a
     dummy).

5006a76cca NFS: Eliminate client_sys in favour of cl_rpcclient
Eliminate nfs_server::client_sys in favour of nfs_client::cl_rpcclient as we
only really need one per server that we're talking to since it doesn't have any
security on it.

The retransmission management variables are also moved to the common struct as
they're required to set up the cl_rpcclient connection.

The NFS2/3 client and client_acl connections are thenceforth derived by cloning
the cl_rpcclient connection and post-applying the authorisation flavour.

The code for setting up the initial common connection has been moved to
client.c as nfs_create_rpc_client().  All the NFS program definition tables are
also moved there as that's where they're now required rather than super.c.
