0629e370dd nfs41: check SEQUENCE status flag
the server can indicate a number of error conditions by setting the
appropriate bits in the SEQUENCE operation. The client re-establishes
state with the server when it receives one of those, with the action

e608e79f1b nfs41: call free slot from nfs4_restart_rpc
nfs41_sequence_free_slot can be called multiple times on SEQUENCE operation
errors.

nfs_writeback_done and nfs_readpage_retry call nfs4_restart_rpc outside the
error handler, and the slot is not freed prior to restarting in the rpc_prepare
state during session reset.

Fix this by moving the call to nfs41_sequence_free_slot from the error
path of nfs41_sequence_done into nfs4_restart_rpc, and by removing the test
for NFS4CLNT_SESSION_SETUP.
Always free slot and goto the rpc prepare state on async errors.

44ed3556ba NFS4ERR_FILE_OPEN handling in Linux/NFS
NFS4ERR_FILE_OPEN is return by the server when an operation cannot be
performed because the file is currently open and local (to the server)
semantics prohibit the operation while the file is open.
A typical case is a RENAME operation on an MS-Windows platform, which
prevents rename while the file is open.

While it is possible that such a condition is transitory, it is also
very possible that the file will be held open for an extended period
of time thus preventing the operation.

The current behaviour of Linux/NFS is to retry the operation
indefinitely.  This is not appropriate - we do not expect a rename to
take an arbitrary amount of time to complete.

Rather, and error should be returned.  The most obvious error code
would be EBUSY, which is a legal at least for 'rename' and 'unlink',
and accurately captures the reason for the error.

This patch allows a few retries until about 2 seconds have elapsed,
then returns EBUSY.

The d_instantiate(new_dentry, NULL) is superfluous, the dentry is

dd47f96c07 NFS: Revert default r/wsize behavior
When the "rsize=" or "wsize=" mount options are not specified,
text-based mounts have slightly different behavior than legacy binary
mounts.  Text-based mounts use the smaller of the server's maximum
and the client's maximum, but binary mounts use the smaller of the
server's _preferred_ size and the client's maximum.

This difference is actually pretty subtle.  Most servers advertise
the same value as their maximum and their preferred transfer size, so
the end result is the same in most cases.

The reason for this difference is that for text-based mounts, if
r/wsize are not specified, they are set to the largest value supported
by the client.  For legacy mounts, the values are set to zero if these
options are not specified.

nfs_server_set_fsinfo() can negotiate the transfer size defaults
correctly in any case.  There's no need to specify any particular
value as default in the text-based option parsing logic.

Note that nfs4 doesn't use nfs_server_set_fsinfo(), but the mount.nfs4
command does set rsize and wsize to 0 if the user didn't specify these
options.  So, make the same change for text-based NFSv4 mounts.

Thanks to James Pearson <james-p@moving-picture.com> for reporting and
diagnosing the problem.

ee671b016f NFS: convert proto= option to use netids rather than a protoname
Solaris uses netids as values for the proto= option, so that when
someone specifies "tcp6" they get traffic over TCP + IPv6. Until
recently, this has never really been an issue for Linux since it didn't
support NFS over IPv6. The netid and the protocol name were generally
always the same (modulo any strange configuration in /etc/netconfig).

The solaris manpage documents their proto= option as:

    proto= _netid_ | rdma

This patch is intended to bring Linux closer to how the Solaris proto=
option works, by declaring a static netid mapping in the kernel and
converting the proto= and mountproto= options to follow it and display
the proper values in /proc/mounts.

Much of this functionality will need to be provided by a userspace
mount.nfs patch. Chuck Lever has a patch to change mount.nfs in
the same way. In principle, we could do *all* of this in userspace but
that would mean that the options in /proc/mounts may not match the
options used by userspace.

The alternative to the static mapping here is to add a mechanism to
upcall to userspace for netid's. I'm not opposed to that option, but
it'll probably mean more overhead (and quite a bit more code). Rather
than shoot for that at first, I figured it was probably better to
start simply.

Comments welcome.

d18cc1fda2 NFSv4: Fix a potential state manager deadlock when returning delegations
The nfsv4 state manager could potentially deadlock inside
__nfs_inode_return_delegation() if the server reboots, so that the calls to
nfs_msync_inode() end up waiting on state recovery to complete.

Also ensure that if a server reboot or network partition causes us to have
to stop returning delegations, that NFS4CLNT_DELEGRETURN is set so that
the state manager can resume any outstanding delegation returns after it
has dealt with the state recovery situation.

Finally, ensure that the state manager doesn't wait for the DELEGRETURN
call to complete. It doesn't need to, and that too can cause a deadlock.

In the above backtrace, the following is happening:

 (1) A page storage operation is being executed by a slow-work thread
     (fscache_write_op()).

 (2) FS-Cache farms the operation out to the cache to perform
     (cachefiles_write_page()).

 (3) CacheFiles is then calling Ext3 to perform the actual write, using Ext3's
     standard write (do_sync_write()) under KERNEL_DS directly from the netfs
     page.

 (4) However, for Ext3 to perform the write, it must allocate some memory, in
     particular, it must allocate at least one page cache page into which it
     can copy the data from the netfs page.

 (5) Under OOM conditions, the memory allocator can't immediately come up with
     a page, so it uses vmscan to find something to discard
     (try_to_free_pages()).

 (6) vmscan finds a clean netfs page it might be able to discard (possibly the
     one it's trying to write out).

 (7) The netfs is called to throw the page away (nfs_release_page()) - but it's
     called with __GFP_WAIT, so the netfs decides to wait for the store to
     complete (__fscache_wait_on_page_write()).

 (8) This blocks a slow-work processing thread - possibly against itself.

The system ends up stuck because it can't write out any netfs pages to the
cache without allocating more memory.

To avoid this, we make FS-Cache cancel some writes that aren't in the middle of
actually being performed.  This means that some data won't make it into the
cache this time.  To support this, a new FS-Cache function is added
fscache_maybe_release_page() that replaces what the netfs releasepage()
functions used to do with respect to the cache.

The decisions fscache_maybe_release_page() makes are counted and displayed
through /proc/fs/fscache/stats on a line labelled "VmScan".  There are four
counters provided: "nos=N" - pages that weren't pending storage; "gon=N" -
pages that were pending storage when we first looked, but weren't by the time
we got the object lock; "bsy=N" - pages that we ignored as they were actively
being written when we looked; and "can=N" - pages that we cancelled the storage
of.

What I'd really like to do is alter the behaviour of the cancellation
heuristics, depending on how necessary it is to expel pages.  If there are
plenty of other pages that aren't waiting to be written to the cache that
could be ejected first, then it would be nice to hold up on immediate
cancellation of cache writes - but I don't see a way of doing that.

96d25e5322 NFSv4: Fix a cache validation bug which causes getcwd() to return ENOENT
Changeset a65318bf3a (NFSv4: Simplify some
cache consistency post-op GETATTRs) incorrectly changed the getattr
bitmap for readdir().
This causes the readdir() function to fail to return a
fileid/inode number, which again exposed a bug in the NFS readdir code that
causes spurious ENOENT errors to appear in applications (see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14541).

The immediate band aid is to revert the incorrect bitmap change, but more
long term, we should change the NFS readdir code to cope with the
fact that NFSv4 servers are not required to support fileids/inode numbers.

52567b03ca NFSv4: Fix a bug when the server returns NFS4ERR_RESOURCE
RFC 3530 states that when we recieve the error NFS4ERR_RESOURCE, we are not
supposed to bump the sequence number on OPEN, LOCK, LOCKU, CLOSE, etc
operations. The problem is that we map that error into EREMOTEIO in the XDR
layer, and so the NFSv4 middle-layer routines like seqid_mutating_err(),
and nfs_increment_seqid() don't recognise it.

The fix is to defer the mapping until after the middle layers have
processed the error.

a8b40bc7e6 nfs: Panic when commit fails
Actually pass the NFS_FILE_SYNC option to the server to avoid a
Panic in nfs_direct_write_complete() when a commit fails.

At the end of an nfs write, if the nfs commit fails, all the writes
will be rescheduled.  They are supposed to be rescheduled as NFS_FILE_SYNC
writes, but the rpc_task structure is not completely intialized and so
the option is not passed.  When the rescheduled writes complete, the
return indicates that they are NFS_UNSTABLE and we try to do another
commit.  This leads to a Panic because the commit data structure pointer
was set to null in the initial (failed) commit attempt.
