2009-01-07nfsd: Ensure nfsv4 calls the underlying filesystem on LOCKTJ. Bruce Fields
Since nfsv4 allows LOCKT without an open, but the ->lock() method is a file method, we fake up a struct file in the nfsv4 code with just the fields we need initialized. But we forgot to initialize the file operations, with the result that LOCKT never results in a call to the filesystem's ->lock() method (if it exists). We could just add that one more initialization. But this hack of faking up a struct file with only some fields initialized seems the kind of thing that might cause more problems in the future. We should either do an open and get a real struct file, or make lock-testing an inode (not a file) method. This patch does the former.

2009-01-06NLM: nlm_privileged_requester() doesn't recognize mapped loopback addressChuck Lever
Commit b85e4676 added the nlm_privileged_requester() helper to check whether an RPC request was sent from a local privileged caller. It recognizes IPv4 privileged callers (from "127.0.0.1"), and IPv6 privileged callers (from "::1"). However, IPV6_ADDR_LOOPBACK is not set for the mapped IPv4 loopback address (::ffff:7f00:0001), so the test breaks when the kernel's RPC service is IPv6-enabled but user space is calling via the IPv4 loopback address. This is actually the most common case for IPv6- enabled RPC services on Linux. Rewrite the IPv6 check to handle the mapped IPv4 loopback address as well as a normal IPv6 loopback address.

2009-01-06NSM: Replace IP address as our nlm_reboot lookup keyChuck Lever
NLM provides file locking services for NFS files. Part of this service includes a second protocol, known as NSM, which is a reboot notification service. NLM uses this service to determine when to reclaim locks or enter a grace period after a client or server reboots. The NLM service (implemented by lockd in the Linux kernel) contacts the local NSM service (implemented by rpc.statd in Linux user space) via NSM protocol upcalls to register a callback when a particular remote peer reboots. To match the callback to the correct remote peer, the NLM service constructs a cookie that it passes in the request. The NSM service passes that cookie back to the NLM service when it is notified that the given remote peer has indeed rebooted. Currently on Linux, the cookie is the raw 32-bit IPv4 address of the remote peer. To support IPv6 addresses, which are larger, we could use all 16 bytes of the cookie to represent a full IPv6 address, although we still can't represent an IPv6 address with a scope ID in just 16 bytes. Instead, to avoid the need for future changes to support additional address types, we'll use a manufactured value for the cookie, and use that to find the corresponding nsm_handle struct in the kernel during the NLMPROC_SM_NOTIFY callback. This should provide complete support in the kernel's NSM implementation for IPv6 hosts, while remaining backwards compatible with older rpc.statd implementations. Note we also deal with another case where nsm_use_hostnames can change while there are outstanding notifications, possibly resulting in the loss of reboot notifications. After this patch, the priv cookie is always used to lookup rebooted hosts in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2009-01-06NSM: More clean up of nsm_get_handle()Chuck Lever
Clean up: refactor nsm_get_handle() so it is organized the same way that nsm_reboot_lookup() is. There is an additional micro-optimization here. This change moves the "hostname & nsm_use_hostnames" test out of the list_for_each_entry() clause in nsm_get_handle(), since it is loop-invariant.

2009-01-06NLM: Remove "create" argument from nsm_find()Chuck Lever

2009-01-06NLM: Call nsm_reboot_lookup() instead of nsm_find()Chuck Lever
Invoke the newly introduced nsm_reboot_lookup() function in nlm_host_rebooted() instead of nsm_find().

2009-01-06NSM: Add nsm_lookup() functionChuck Lever

2009-01-06NLM: Decode "priv" argument of NLMPROC_SM_NOTIFY as an opaqueChuck Lever
The NLM XDR decoders for the NLMPROC_SM_NOTIFY procedure should treat their "priv" argument truly as an opaque, as defined by the protocol, and let the upper layers figure out what is in it. This will make it easier to modify the contents and interpretation of the "priv" argument, and keep knowledge about what's in "priv" local to fs/lockd/mon.c. For now, the NLM and NSM implementations should behave exactly as they did before. The formation of the address of the rebooted host in nlm_host_rebooted() may look a little strange, but it is the inverse of how nsm_init_private() forms the private cookie. Plus, it's going away soon anyway. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2009-01-06NLM: Change nlm_host_rebooted() to take a single nlm_reboot argumentChuck Lever
Pass the nlm_reboot data structure directly from the NLMPROC_SM_NOTIFY XDR decoders to nlm_host_rebooted(). This eliminates some packing and unpacking of the NLMPROC_SM_NOTIFY results, and prepares for passing these results, including the "priv" cookie, directly to a lookup routine in fs/lockd/mon.c.

2009-01-06NSM: Move nsm_find() to fs/lockd/mon.cChuck Lever
The nsm_find() function sets up fresh nsm_handle entries. This is where we will store the "priv" cookie used to lookup nsm_handles during reboot recovery. The cookie will be constructed when nsm_find() creates a new nsm_handle. As much as possible, I would like to keep everything that handles a "priv" cookie in fs/lockd/mon.c so that all the smarts are in one source file. That organization should make it pretty simple to see how all this works. To me, it makes more sense than the current arrangement to keep nsm_find() with nsm_monitor() and nsm_unmonitor(). So, start reorganizing by moving nsm_find() into fs/lockd/mon.c. The nsm_release() function comes along too, since it shares the nsm_lock global variable.

And, as with NLM, NFS, and rpcbind calls, use NSMPROC_FOO instead of SM_FOO for NSM procedure numbers.

2009-01-06NSM: Release nsmhandle in nlm_destroy_hostChuck Lever
The nsm_handle's reference count is bumped in nlm_lookup_host(). It should be decremented in nlm_destroy_host() to make it easier to see the balance of these two operations. Move the nsm_release() call to fs/lockd/host.c. The h_nsmhandle pointer is set in nlm_lookup_host(), and never cleared. The nlm_destroy_host() function is never called for the same nlm_host twice, so h_nsmhandle won't ever be NULL when nsm_unmonitor() is called. All references to the nlm_host are gone before it is freed. We can skip making h_nsmhandle NULL just before the nlm_host is deallocated. It's also likely we can remove the h_nsmhandle NULL check in nlmsvc_is_client() as well, but we can do that later when rearchitect- ing the nlm_host cache.

2009-01-06NSM: Make sure to return an error if the SM_MON call result is not zeroChuck Lever
The nsm_monitor() function reports an error and does not set sm_monitored if the SM_MON upcall reply has a non-zero result code, but nsm_monitor() does not return an error to its caller in this case. Since sm_monitored is not set, the upcall is retried when the next NLM request invokes nsm_monitor(). However, that may not come for a while. In the meantime, at least one NLM request will potentially proceed without the peer being monitored properly. Have nsm_monitor() return an error if the result code is non-zero. This will cause all NLM requests to fail immediately if the upcall completed successfully but rpc.statd returned an error. This may be inconvenient in some cases (for example if rpc.statd cannot complete a proper DNS reverse lookup of the hostname), but will make the reboot monitoring service more robust by forcing such issues to be corrected by an admin.

2009-01-06NLM: Remove redundant printk() in nlmclnt_lock()Chuck Lever

2009-01-06NSM: Support IPv6 version of mon_nameChuck Lever
The "mon_name" argument of the NSMPROC_MON and NSMPROC_UNMON upcalls is a string that contains the hostname or IP address of the remote peer to be notified when this host has rebooted. The sm-notify command uses this identifier to contact the peer when we reboot, so it must be either a well-qualified DNS hostname or a presentation format IP address string. When the "nsm_use_hostnames" sysctl is set to zero, the kernel's NSM provides a presentation format IP address in the "mon_name" argument. Otherwise, the "caller_name" argument from NLM requests is used, which is usually just the DNS hostname of the peer. To support IPv6 addresses for the mon_name argument, we use the nsm_handle's address eye-catcher, which already contains an appropriate presentation format address string. Using the eye-catcher string obviates the need to use a large buffer on the stack to form the presentation address string for the upcall. This patch also addresses a subtle bug. An NSMPROC_MON request and the subsequent NSMPROC_UNMON request for the same peer are required to use the same value for the "mon_name" argument. Otherwise, rpc.statd's NSMPROC_UNMON processing cannot locate the database entry for that peer and remove it. If the setting of nsm_use_hostnames is changed between the time the kernel sends an NSMPROC_MON request and the time it sends the NSMPROC_UNMON request for the same peer, the "mon_name" argument for these two requests may not be the same. This is because the value of "mon_name" is currently chosen at the moment the call is made based on the setting of nsm_use_hostnames To ensure both requests pass identical contents in the "mon_name" argument, we now select which string to use for the argument in the nsm_monitor() function. A pointer to this string is saved in the nsm_handle so it can be used for a subsequent NSMPROC_UNMON upcall. NB: There are other potential problems, such as how nlm_host_rebooted() might behave if nsm_use_hostnames were changed while hosts are still being monitored. This patch does not attempt to address those problems. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

2009-01-06sunrpc: add sv_maxconn field to svc_serv (try #3)Jeff Layton
svc_check_conn_limits() attempts to prevent denial of service attacks by having the service close old connections once it reaches a threshold. This threshold is based on the number of threads in the service: (serv->sv_nrthreads + 3) * 20 Once we reach this, we drop the oldest connections and a printk pops to warn the admin that they should increase the number of threads. Increasing the number of threads isn't an option however for services like lockd. We don't want to eliminate this check entirely for such services but we need some way to increase this limit. This patch adds a sv_maxconn field to the svc_serv struct. When it's set to 0, we use the current method to calculate the max number of connections.
