7c67db3a8a NFSv4: Reintroduce machine creds
We need to try to ensure that we always use the same credentials whenever
we re-establish the clientid on the server. If not, the server won't
recognise that we're the same client, and so may not allow us to recover
state.

With the recent change to generic creds, we can no longer use
cred->cr_ops->cr_name to distinguish between RPCSEC_GSS principals and
AUTH_SYS/AUTH_NULL identities. Replace it with the rpc_authops->au_name

4410924157 nfs: fix printout of multiword bitfields
Benny points out that zero-padding of multiword bitfields is necessary,
and that delimiting each word is nice to avoid endianess confusion.

bhalevy: without zero padding output can be ambiguous. Also,
since the printed array of two 32-bit unsigned integers is not a
64-bit number, delimiting the output with a semicolon makes more sense.

856dff3d38 nfs: return negative error value from nfs{,4}_stat_to_errno
All use sites for nfs{,4}_stat_to_errno negate their return value.
It's more efficient to return a negative error from the stat_to_errno convertors
rather than negating its return value everywhere. This also produces slightly
smaller code.

c1d519312d NFSv4: Only increment the sequence id if the server saw it
It is quite possible that the OPEN, CLOSE, LOCK, LOCKU,... compounds fail
before the actual stateful operation has been executed (for instance in the
PUTFH call). There is no way to tell from the overall status result which
operations were executed from the COMPOUND.

The fix is to move incrementing of the sequence id into the XDR layer,
so that we do it as we process the results from the stateful operation.

There should be no need to invalidate a perfectly good state owner just
because of a stale filehandle. Doing so can cause the state recovery code

73e3302f60 NFS: Fix nfs_wb_page() to always exit with an error or a clean page
It is possible for nfs_wb_page() to sometimes exit with 0 return value, yet
the page is left in a dirty state.
For instance in the case where the server rebooted, and the COMMIT request
failed, then all the previously "clean" pages which were cached by the
server, but were not guaranteed to have been writted out to disk,
have to be redirtied and resent to the server.
The fix is to have nfs_wb_page_priority() check that the page is clean
before it exits...

This fixes a condition that triggers the BUG_ON(PagePrivate(page)) in
nfs_create_request() when we're in the nfs_readpage() path.

Also eliminate a redundant BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page)) while we're at it. It
turns out that clear_page_dirty_for_io() has the exact same test.

f22d6d79fe NFS: Save the value of the "port=" mount option
During a remount based on the mount options displayed in /proc/mounts, we
want to preserve the original behavior of the mount request.  Let's save
the original setting of the "port=" mount option in the mount's nfs_server
structure.

This allows us to simplify the default behavior of port setting for NFSv4
mounts: by default, NFSv2/3 mounts first try an RPC bind to determine the
NFS server's port, unless the user specified the "port=" mount option;
Users can force the client to skip the RPC bind by explicitly specifying
"port=<value>".

NFSv4, by contrast, assumes the NFS server port is 2049 and skips the RPC
bind, unless the user specifies "port=".  Users can force an RPC bind for
NFSv4 by explicitly specifying "port=0".

I added a couple of extra comments to clarify this behavior.

7bda2cdf48 NFS: clean up short packet handling for NFSv4 readdir

that send an empty readdir response with the EOF bit unset. If the

   responses with the EOF marker unset.

f8512ad0da nfs: don't ignore return value from nfs_pageio_add_request
Ignoring the return value from nfs_pageio_add_request can cause deadlocks.

In read path:
  call nfs_pageio_add_request from readpage_async_filler
  assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that
    can't be merged with the current request.
  so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc.
  assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set.
  This causes nfs_pageio_add_request to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original
    request.
  BUT, since return code is ignored, readpage_async_filler assumes it has
    been added, and does nothing further, leaving page locked.
  do_generic_mapping_read will eventually call lock_page, resulting in deadlock

In write path:
  page is marked dirty by generic_perform_write
  nfs_writepages is called
  call nfs_pageio_add_request from nfs_page_async_flush
  assume at this point that there are requests already in desc, that
    can't be merged with the current request.
  so nfs_pageio_doio is fired up to clear out desc.
  assume something goes wrong in setting up the io, so desc->pg_error is set.
  This causes nfs_page_async_flush to return 0, *WITHOUT* adding the original
    request, yet marking the request as locked (PG_BUSY) and in writeback,
    clearing dirty marks.
  The next time a write is done to the page, deadlock will result as
    nfs_write_end calls nfs_update_request

98a8e32394 SUNRPC: Add a helper rpcauth_lookup_generic_cred()
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.

in the case of 'nohide' mountpoint traversals, it also fixes an issue with

nfs_revalidate_inode() on them is a bug.

f9c3a38021 NFS: use new LSM interfaces to explicitly set mount options
NFS and SELinux worked together previously because SELinux had NFS
specific knowledge built in.  This design was approved by both groups
back in 2004 but the recent NFS changes to use nfs_parsed_mount_data and
the usage of nfs_clone_mount_data showed this to be a poor fragile
solution.  This patch fixes the NFS functionality regression by making
use of the new LSM interfaces to allow an FS to explicitly set its own
mount options.

The explicit setting of mount options is done in the nfs get_sb
functions which are called before the generic vfs hooks try to set mount
options for filesystems which use text mount data.

This does not currently support NFSv4 as that functionality did not
exist in previous kernels and thus there is no regression.  I will be
adding the needed code, which I believe to be the exact same as the v3
code, in nfs4_get_sb for 2.6.26.

5d00837b90 SUNRPC: Run rpc timeout functions as callbacks instead of in softirqs
An audit of the current RPC timeout functions shows that they don't really
ever need to run in the softirq context. As long as the softirq is
able to signal that the wakeup is due to a timeout (which it can do by
setting task->tk_status to -ETIMEDOUT) then the callback functions can just
run as standard task->tk_callback functions (in the rpciod/process
context).

The only possible border-line case would be xprt_timer() for the case of
UDP, when the callback is used to reduce the size of the transport
congestion window. In testing, however, the effect of moving that update
to a callback would appear to be minor.

We can avoid the above deadlock by moving calls to mntput to

There are some places, which declare the char buf[...] on the stack
to push it later into dprintk(). Since the dprintk sometimes (if the

cause gcc to produce appropriate warnings.

Wrap these buffers with RPC_IFDEBUG macro, as Trond proposed, to

1227a74e2e NFS: flush signals before taking down callback thread
Now that the reference counting on the callback thread is working as
expected, it uncovers another problem.  Peter Staubach noticed while
testing that patch on an older kernel that he would occasionally see
this printk in rpc_register fire:

    "RPC: failed to contact portmap (errno -512).

The NFSv4 callback thread is signaled by nfs_callback_down(), but never
flushes that signal. All of the shutdown processing is done with that
signal pending. This makes it fail the call to unregister the port with
the portmapper.

In actuality, this rpc_register call isn't necessary at all since the
port isn't actually registered with the portmapper anymore. Regardless,
there doesn't seem to be any reason to leave the signal pending while
the thread is being shut down and flushing it should generally silence
that printk.

4ac9137858 Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
  <dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5321639  858418  715768 6895825  6938d1 vmlinux

with patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5320026  858418  715768 6894212  693284 vmlinux

This patch:

Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

2785259631 nfs: use GFP_NOFS preloads for radix-tree insertion
NFS should use GFP_NOFS mode radix tree preloads rather than GFP_ATOMIC
allocations at radix-tree insertion-time.  This is important to reduce the
atomic memory requirement.
