0c7d90cfed NFS: Use the dentry superblock directly in nfs_statfs()
Use the nominated dentry's superblock directly in the NFS statfs() op to get a
file handle, rather than using s_root (which will become a dummy dentry in a
future patch).

24c8dbbb5f NFS: Generalise the nfs_client structure
Generalise the nfs_client structure by:

 (1) Moving nfs_client to a more general place (nfs_fs_sb.h).

 (2) Renaming its maintenance routines to be non-NFS4 specific.

 (3) Move those maintenance routines to a new non-NFS4 specific file (client.c)
     and move the declarations to internal.h.

 (4) Make nfs_find/get_client() take a full sockaddr_in to include the port
     number (will be required for NFS2/3).

 (5) Make nfs_find/get_client() take the NFS protocol version (again will be
     required to differentiate NFS2, 3 & 4 client records).

Also:

 (6) Make nfs_client construction proceed akin to inodes, marking them as under
     construction and providing a function to indicate completion.

 (7) Make nfs_get_client() wait interruptibly if it finds a client that it can
     share, but that client is currently being constructed.

 (8) Make nfs4_create_client() use (6) and (7) instead of locking cl_sem.

Fix ups for the splitting of the superblock stuff out of fs/nfs/inode.c,

 (*) Move the callback tcpport module param into callback.c.

 (*) Move the idmap cache timeout module param into idmap.c.

 (*) Changes to internal.h:

     (*) namespace-nfs4.c was renamed to nfs4namespace.c.

     (*) nfs_stat_to_errno() is in nfs2xdr.c, not nfs4xdr.c.

     (*) nfs4xdr.c is contingent on CONFIG_NFS_V4.

     (*) nfs4_path() is only uses if CONFIG_NFS_V4 is set.

Plus also:

 (*) The sec_flavours[] table should really be const.

979df72e6f NFS: Add an ACCESS cache memory shrinker
A pinned inode may in theory end up filling memory with cached ACCESS
calls. This patch ensures that the VM may shrink away the cache in these
particular cases.
The shrinker works by iterating through the list of inodes on the global
nfs_access_lru_list, and removing the least recently used access
cache entry until it is done (or until the entire cache is empty).

e9f7bee1df [PATCH] NFS: large non-page-aligned direct I/O clobbers memory
The logic in nfs_direct_read_schedule and nfs_direct_write_schedule can
allow data->npages to be one larger than rpages.  This causes a page
pointer to be written beyond the end of the pagevec in nfs_read_data (or
nfs_write_data).

Fix this by making nfs_(read|write)_alloc() calculate the size of the
pagevec array, and initialise data->npages.

Also get rid of the redundant argument to nfs_commit_alloc().

e8896495bc NFS: Check lengths more thoroughly in NFS4 readdir XDR decode
Check the bounds of length specifiers more thoroughly in the XDR decoding of
NFS4 readdir reply data.

Currently, if the server returns a bitmap or attr length that causes the
current decode point pointer to wrap, this could go undetected (consider a
small "negative" length on a 32-bit machine).

Also add a check into the main XDR decode handler to make sure that the amount
of data is a multiple of four bytes (as specified by RFC-1014).  This makes
sure that we can do u32* pointer subtraction in the NFS client without risking
an undefined result (the result is undefined if the pointers are not correctly
aligned with respect to one another).

fd39fc8561 [PATCH] zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_unstable to per zone counter
Conversion of nr_unstable to a per zone counter

We need to do some special modifications to the nfs code since there are
multiple cases of disposition and we need to have a page ref for proper
accounting.

This converts the last critical page state of the VM and therefore we need to
remove several functions that were depending on GET_PAGE_STATE_LAST in order
to make the kernel compile again.  We are only left with event type counters
in page state.

Builds on ARM report link problems with common configurations like
statically linked NFS (for nfsroot).  The symptom is that __init
section code references __exit section code; that won't work since
the exit sections are discarded (since they can never be called).

The best fix for these particular cases would be an "__init_or_exit"
section annotation.

82b145c5a5 NFS: alloc nfs_read/write_data as direct I/O is scheduled
Re-arrange the logic in the NFS direct I/O path so that nfs_read/write_data
structs are allocated just before they are scheduled, rather than
allocating them all at once before we start scheduling requests.

06cf6f2ed0 NFS: Eliminate nfs_get_user_pages()
Neil Brown observed that the kmalloc() in nfs_get_user_pages() is more
likely to fail if the I/O is large enough to require the allocation of more
than a single page to keep track of all the pinned pages in the user's
buffer.

Instead of tracking one large page array per dreq/iocb, track pages per
nfs_read/write_data, just like the cached I/O path does.  An array for
pages is already allocated for us by nfs_readdata_alloc() (and the write
and commit equivalents).

This is also required for adding support for vectored I/O to the NFS direct
I/O path.

The original reason to pin the user buffer and allocate all the NFS data
structures before trying to schedule I/O was to ensure all needed resources
are allocated on the client before starting to send requests.  This reduces
the chance that resource exhaustion on the client will cause a short read
or write.

On the other hand, for an application making very large application I/O
requests, this means that it will be nearly impossible for the application
to make forward progress on a resource-limited client.

Thus, moving the buffer pinning functionality into the I/O scheduling
loops should be good for scalability.  The next patch will do the same for
NFS data structure allocation.

Clean-up and fix a minor bug: the logic was dirtying page cache pages on
both read and write operations.

51a7bc6cae NFS: remove user_addr, user_count, and pos from nfs_direct_req
Make the user_addr, user_count, and pos parameters explicit to the
scheduler routines, and remove the fields from nfs_direct_req.  The
iovec API will be passing in a series of these, not just one set.
