Multiple backchannels can share the same tcp connection; from rfc 5661 section
2.10.3.1:
A connection's association with a session is not exclusive. A
connection associated with the channel(s) of one session may be
simultaneously associated with the channel(s) of other sessions
including sessions associated with other client IDs.
However, multiple backchannels share a connection, they must all share
the same xid stream (hence the same rpc_xprt); the only way we have to
match replies with calls at the rpc layer is using the xid.
So, keep the rpc_xprt around as long as the connection lasts, in case
we're asked to use the connection as a backchannel again.
Requests to create new backchannel clients over a given server
connection should results in creating new clients that reuse the
existing rpc_xprt.
But to start, just reject attempts to associate multiple rpc_xprt's with
the same underlying bc_xprt.

Currently we use -EAGAIN returns to determine when to drop a deferred
request. On its own, that is error-prone, as it makes us treat -EAGAIN
returns from other functions specially to prevent inadvertent dropping.
So, use a flag on the request instead.
Returning an error on request deferral is still required, to prevent
further processing, but we no longer need worry that an error return on
its own could result in a drop.

The xpt_pool field is only used for reporting BUGs.
And it isn't used correctly.
In particular, when it is cleared in svc_xprt_received before
XPT_BUSY is cleared, there is no guarantee that either the
compiler or the CPU might not re-order to two assignments, just
setting xpt_pool to NULL after XPT_BUSY is cleared.
If a different cpu were running svc_xprt_enqueue at this moment,
it might see XPT_BUSY clear and then xpt_pool non-NULL, and
so BUG.
This could be fixed by calling
smp_mb__before_clear_bit()
before the clear_bit. However as xpt_pool isn't really used,
it seems safest to simply remove xpt_pool.
Another alternate would be to change the clear_bit to
clear_bit_unlock, and the test_and_set_bit to test_and_set_bit_lock.

When an xprt is created, it has a refcount of 1, and XPT_BUSY is set.
The refcount is *not* owned by the thread that created the xprt
(as is clear from the fact that creators never put the reference).
Rather, it is owned by the absence of XPT_DEAD. Once XPT_DEAD is set,
(And XPT_BUSY is clear) that initial reference is dropped and the xprt
can be freed.
So when a creator clears XPT_BUSY it is dropping its only reference and
so must not touch the xprt again.
However svc_recv, after calling ->xpo_accept (and so getting an XPT_BUSY
reference on a new xprt), calls svc_xprt_recieved. This clears
XPT_BUSY and then svc_xprt_enqueue - this last without owning a reference.
This is dangerous and has been seen to leave svc_xprt_enqueue working
with an xprt containing garbage.
So we need to hold an extra counted reference over that call to
svc_xprt_received.
For safety, any time we clear XPT_BUSY and then use the xprt again, we
first get a reference, and the put it again afterwards.
Note that svc_close_all does not need this extra protection as there are
no threads running, and the final free can only be called asynchronously
from such a thread.

We call svc_xprt_enqueue() after something happens which we think may
require handling from a server thread. To avoid such events being lost,
svc_xprt_enqueue() must guarantee that there will be a svc_serv() call
from a server thread following any such event. It does that by either
waking up a server thread itself, or checking that XPT_BUSY is set (in
which case somebody else is doing it).
But the check of XPT_BUSY could occur just as someone finishes
processing some other event, and just before they clear XPT_BUSY.
Therefore it's important not to clear XPT_BUSY without subsequently
doing another svc_export_enqueue() to check whether the xprt should be
requeued.
The xpo_wspace() check in svc_xprt_enqueue() breaks this rule, allowing
an event to be missed in situations like:
data arrives
call svc_tcp_data_ready():
call svc_xprt_enqueue():
set BUSY
find no write space
svc_reserve():
free up write space
call svc_enqueue():
test BUSY
clear BUSY
So, instead, check wspace in the same places that the state flags are
checked: before taking BUSY, and in svc_receive().

There's no need to be fooling with XPT_BUSY now that all the threads
are gone.
The list_del_init() here could execute at the same time as the
svc_xprt_enqueue()'s list_add_tail(), with undefined results. We don't
really care at this point, but it might result in a spurious
list-corruption warning or something.
And svc_close() isn't adding any value; just call svc_delete_xprt()
directly.

Follow up on b48fa6b991 by moving all the
svc_xprt_received() calls for the main xprt to one place. The clearing
of XPT_BUSY here is critical to the correctness of the server, so I'd
prefer it to be obvious where we do it.
The only substantive result is moving svc_xprt_received() after
svc_receive_deferred(). Other than a (likely insignificant) delay
waking up the next thread, that should be harmless.
Also reshuffle the exit code a little to skip a few other steps that we
don't care about the in the svc_delete_xprt() case.

There's no harm to doing this, since the only caller will immediately
call svc_enqueue() afterwards, ensuring we don't miss the remaining
deferred requests just because XPT_DEFERRED was briefly cleared.

Once an xprt has been deleted, there's no reason to allow it to be

Also, note this leaves us with no need for the reference-count

The current practice of waiting for cache updates by queueing the
whole request to be retried has (at least) two problems.
1/ With NFSv4, requests can be quite complex and re-trying a whole
request when a later part fails should only be a last-resort, not a
normal practice.
2/ Large requests, and in particular any 'write' request, will not be
queued by the current code and doing so would be undesirable.
In many cases only a very sort wait is needed before the cache gets
valid data.
So, providing the underlying transport permits it by setting
->thread_wait,
arrange to wait briefly for an upcall to be completed (as reflected in
the clearing of CACHE_PENDING).
If the short wait was not long enough and CACHE_PENDING is still set,
fall back on the old approach.
The 'thread_wait' value is set to 5 seconds when there are spare
threads, and 1 second when there are no spare threads.
These values are probably much higher than needed, but will ensure
some forward progress.
Note that as we only request an update for a non-valid item, and as
non-valid items are updated in place it is extremely unlikely that
cache_check will return -ETIMEDOUT. Normally cache_defer_req will
sleep for a short while and then find that the item is_valid.

svc_xprt_received must be called when ->xpo_recvfrom has finished
receiving a message, so that the XPT_BUSY flag will be cleared and
if necessary, requeued for further work.
This call is currently made in each ->xpo_recvfrom function, often
from multiple different points. In each case it is the earliest point
on a particular path where it is known that the protection provided by
XPT_BUSY is no longer needed.
However there are (still) some error paths which do not call
svc_xprt_received, and requiring each ->xpo_recvfrom to make the call
does not encourage robustness.
So: move the svc_xprt_received call to be made just after the
call to ->xpo_recvfrom(), and move it of the various ->xpo_recvfrom
methods.
This means that it may not be called at the earliest possible instant,
but this is unlikely to be a measurable performance issue.
Note that there are still other calls to svc_xprt_received as it is
also needed when an xprt is newly created.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

The 'struct svc_deferred_req's on the xpt_deferred queue do not
own a reference to the owning xprt. This is seen in svc_revisit
which is where things are added to this queue. dr->xprt is set to
NULL and the reference to the xprt it put.
So when this list is cleaned up in svc_delete_xprt, we mustn't
put the reference.
Also, replace the 'for' with a 'while' which is arguably
simpler and more likely to compile efficiently.

write_ports() converts svc_create_xprt()'s ENOENT error return to
EPROTONOSUPPORT so that rpc.nfsd (in user space) can report an error
message that makes sense.
It turns out that several of the other kernel APIs rpc.nfsd use can
also return ENOENT from svc_create_xprt(), by way of lockd_up().
On the client side, an NFSv2 or NFSv3 mount request can also return
the result of lockd_up(). This error may also be returned during an
NFSv4 mount request, since the NFSv4 callback service uses
svc_create_xprt() to create the callback listener. An ENOENT error
return results in a confusing error message from the mount command.
Let's have svc_create_xprt() return EPROTONOSUPPORT instead of ENOENT.

There're some warnings of "nfsd: peername failed (err 107)!"
socket error -107 means Transport endpoint is not connected.
This warning message was outputed by svc_tcp_accept() [net/sunrpc/svcsock.c],

The svc_xprt_names() function can overflow its buffer if it's so near
the end of the passed in buffer that the "name too long" string still
doesn't fit. Of course, it could never tell if it was near the end
of the passed in buffer, since its only caller passes in zero as the
buffer length.
Let's make this API a little safer.
Change svc_xprt_names() so it *always* checks for a buffer overflow,
and change its only caller to pass in the correct buffer length.
If svc_xprt_names() does overflow its buffer, it now fails with an
ENAMETOOLONG errno, instead of trying to write a message at the end
of the buffer. I don't like this much, but I can't figure out a clean
way that's always safe to return some of the names, *and* an

have not been processed.
Initialize rq_usedeferral to 1 in svc_process(). It sill be turned off in
nfsd4_proc_compound() only when NFSv4.1 Sessions are used.
Note: this isn't an adequate solution on its own. It's acceptable as a way
to get some minimal 4.1 up and working, but we're going to have to find a
way to avoid returning DELAY in all common cases before 4.1 can really be
considered ready.

The sv_family field is going away. Pass a protocol family argument to
svc_create_xprt() instead of extracting the family from the passed-in
svc_serv struct.
Again, as this is a listener socket and not an address, we make this
new argument an "int" protocol family, instead of an "sa_family_t."

Clean up: add documentating comment and use appropriate data types for
svc_find_xprt()'s arguments.
This also eliminates a mixed sign comparison: @port was an int, while
the return value of svc_xprt_local_port() is an unsigned short.

Add /proc/fs/nfsd/pool_stats to export to userspace various
statistics about the operation of rpc server thread pools.
This patch is based on a forward-ported version of
knfsd-add-pool-thread-stats which has been shipping in the SGI
"Enhanced NFS" product since 2006 and which was previously
posted:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.nfs/10375
It has also been updated thus:
* moved EXPORT_SYMBOL() to near the function it exports
* made the new struct struct seq_operations const
* used SEQ_START_TOKEN instead of ((void *)1)
* merged fix from SGI PV 990526 "sunrpc: use dprintk instead of
printk in svc_pool_stats_*()" by Harshula Jayasuriya.
* merged fix from SGI PV 964001 "Crash reading pool_stats before
nfsds are started".

Avoid overloading the CPU scheduler with enormous load averages
when handling high call-rate NFS loads. When the knfsd bottom half
is made aware of an incoming call by the socket layer, it tries to
choose an nfsd thread and wake it up. As long as there are idle
threads, one will be woken up.
If there are lot of nfsd threads (a sensible configuration when
the server is disk-bound or is running an HSM), there will be many
more nfsd threads than CPUs to run them. Under a high call-rate
low service-time workload, the result is that almost every nfsd is
runnable, but only a handful are actually able to run. This situation
causes two significant problems:
1. The CPU scheduler takes over 10% of each CPU, which is robbing
the nfsd threads of valuable CPU time.
2. At a high enough load, the nfsd threads starve userspace threads
of CPU time, to the point where daemons like portmap and rpc.mountd
do not schedule for tens of seconds at a time. Clients attempting
to mount an NFS filesystem timeout at the very first step (opening
a TCP connection to portmap) because portmap cannot wake up from
select() and call accept() in time.
Disclaimer: these effects were observed on a SLES9 kernel, modern
kernels' schedulers may behave more gracefully.
The solution is simple: keep in each svc_pool a counter of the number
of threads which have been woken but have not yet run, and do not wake
any more if that count reaches an arbitrary small threshold.
Testing was on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients, each with 16
synthetic client threads simulating an rsync (i.e. recursive directory
listing) workload reading from an i386 RH9 install image (161480
regular files in 10841 directories) on the server. That tree is small
enough to fill in the server's RAM so no disk traffic was involved.
This setup gives a sustained call rate in excess of 60000 calls/sec
before being CPU-bound on the server. The server was running 128 nfsds.
Profiling showed schedule() taking 6.7% of every CPU, and __wake_up()
taking 5.2%. This patch drops those contributions to 3.0% and 2.2%.
Load average was over 120 before the patch, and 20.9 after.
This patch is a forward-ported version of knfsd-avoid-nfsd-overload
which has been shipping in the SGI "Enhanced NFS" product since 2006.

A race between svc_revisit and svc_delete_xprt can result in
deferred requests holding references on a transport that can never be
recovered because dead transports are not enqueued for subsequent
processing.
Check for XPT_DEAD in revisit to clean up completing deferrals on a dead
transport and sweep a transport's deferred queue to do the same for queued
but unprocessed deferrals.
