2005-09-23SUNRPC: fix bug in patch "portmapper doesn't need a reserved port"Chuck Lever
The in-kernel portmapper does in fact need a reserved port when registering new services, but not when performing bind queries. Ensure that we distinguish between the two cases. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC,NFS: new rpc_pipefs patchChristoph Hellwig
Currently rpc_mkdir/rpc_rmdir and rpc_mkpipe/mk_unlink have an API that's a little unfortunate. They take a path relative to the rpc_pipefs root and thus need to perform a full lookup. If you look at debugfs or usbfs they always store the dentry for directories they created and thus can pass in a dentry + single pathname component pair into their equivalents of the above functions. And in fact rpc_pipefs actually stores a dentry for all but one component so this change not only simplifies the core rpc_pipe code but also the callers. Unfortuntately this code path is only used by the NFS4 idmapper and AUTH_GSSAPI for which I don't have a test enviroment. Could someone give it a spin? It's the last bit needed before we can rework the lookup_hash API Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: parametrize various transport connect timeoutsChuck Lever
Each transport implementation can now set unique bind, connect, reestablishment, and idle timeout values. These are variables, allowing the values to be modified dynamically. This permits exponential backoff of any of these values, for instance. As an example, we implement exponential backoff for the connection reestablishment timeout. Test-plan: Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily). Connectathon with UDP and TCP.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: make sure to get the same local port number when reconnectingChuck Lever
Implement a best practice: if the remote end drops our connection, try to reconnect using the same port number. This is important because the NFS server's Duplicate Reply Cache often hashes on the source port number. If the client reuses the port number when it reconnects, the server's DRC will be more effective. Based on suggestions by Mike Eisler, Olaf Kirch, and Alexey Kuznetsky.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: allow RPC client's port range to be adjustableChuck Lever
Select an RPC client source port between 650 and 1023 instead of between 1 and 800. The old range conflicts with a number of network services. Provide sysctls to allow admins to select a different port range. Note that this doesn't affect user-level RPC library behavior, which still uses 1 to 800.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: add a release_rqst callout to the RPC transport switchChuck Lever
The final place where congestion control state is adjusted is in xprt_release, where each request is finally released.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: separate xprt_timer implementationsChuck Lever

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: expose API for serializing access to RPC transportsChuck Lever
The next method we abstract is the one that releases a transport, allowing another task to have access to the transport. Again, one generic version of this is provided for transports that don't need the RPC client to perform congestion control, and one version is for transports that can use the original Van Jacobson implementation in xprt.c.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: expose API for serializing access to RPC transportsChuck Lever
The next several patches introduce an API that allows transports to choose whether the RPC client provides congestion control or whether the transport itself provides it. The first method we abstract is the one that serializes access to the RPC transport to prevent the bytes from different requests from mingling together. This method provides proper request serialization and the opportunity to prevent new requests from being started because the transport is congested. The normal situation is for the transport to handle congestion control itself. Although NFS over UDP was first, it has been recognized after years of experience that having the transport provide congestion control is much better than doing it in the RPC client. Thus TCP, and probably every future transport implementation, will use the default method, xprt_lock_write, provided in xprt.c, which does not provide any kind of congestion control. UDP can continue using the xprt.c-provided Van Jacobson congestion avoidance implementation. Test-plan: Use WAN simulation to cause sporadic bursty packet loss.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: add API to set transport-specific timeoutsChuck Lever
Prepare the way to remove the "xprt->nocong" variable by adding a callout to the RPC client transport switch API to handle setting RPC retransmit timeouts. Add a pair of generic helper functions that provide the ability to set a simple fixed timeout, or to set a timeout based on the state of a round- trip estimator.

2005-09-23[PATCH] RPC: proper soft timeout behavior for rpcbindChuck Lever
Implement a best practice: for soft mounts, an rpcbind timeout should cause an RPC request to fail. This also provides an FSM hook for retrying an rpcbind with a different rpcbind protocol version. We'll use this later to try multiple rpcbind protocol versions when binding. To enable this, expose the RPC error code returned during a portmap request to the FSM so it can make some decision about how to report, retry, or fail the request. Test-plan: Hundreds of passes with connectathon NFSv3 locking suite, on the client and server.

I believe the change that broke things is introduction of pci_fixup_parent_subordinate_busnr(). The patch here does two things: - hunk #1 should fix the problems you've seen when you boot without additional "pci" kernel options; - hunk #2 supposedly fixes boot with "pci=assign-busses" option which otherwise hangs Acer TM81xx machines as reported.

2005-09-22[NETFILTER] Fix conntrack event cache deadlock/oopsHarald Welte
This patch fixes a number of bugs. It cannot be reasonably split up in multiple fixes, since all bugs interact with each other and affect the same function: Bug #1: The event cache code cannot be called while a lock is held. Therefore, the call to ip_conntrack_event_cache() within ip_ct_refresh_acct() needs to be moved outside of the locked section. This fixes a number of 2.6.14-rcX oops and deadlock reports. Bug #2: We used to call ct_add_counters() for unconfirmed connections without holding a lock. Since the add operations are not atomic, we could race with another CPU. Bug #3: ip_ct_refresh_acct() lost REFRESH events in some cases where refresh (and the corresponding event) are desired, but no accounting shall be performed. Both, evenst and accounting implicitly depended on the skb parameter bein non-null. We now re-introduce a non-accounting "ip_ct_refresh()" variant to explicitly state the desired behaviour.

2005-09-22[TCP]: Adjust Reno SACK estimate in tcp_fragmentHerbert Xu
Since the introduction of TSO pcount a year ago, it has been possible for tcp_fragment() to cause packets_out to decrease. Prior to that, tcp_retrans_try_collapse() was the only way for that to happen on the retransmission path. When this happens with Reno, it is possible for sasked_out to become invalid because it is only an estimate and not tied to any particular packet on the retransmission queue. Therefore we need to adjust sacked_out as well as left_out in the Reno case. The following patch does exactly that. This bug is pretty difficult to trigger in practice though since you need a SACKless peer with a retransmission that occurs just as the cached MTU value expires.

2005-09-22[PATCH] Fix bd_claim() error code.Rob Landley
Problem: In some circumstances, bd_claim() is returning the wrong error code. If we try to swapon an unused block device that isn't swap formatted, we get -EINVAL. But if that same block device is already mounted, we instead get -EBUSY, even though it still isn't a valid swap device. This issue came up on the busybox list trying to get the error message from "swapon -a" right. If a swap device is already enabled, we get -EBUSY, and we shouldn't report this as an error. But we can't distinguish the two -EBUSY conditions, which are very different errors. In the code, bd_claim() returns either 0 or -EBUSY, but in this case busy means "somebody other than sys_swapon has already claimed this", and _that_ means this block device can't be a valid swap device. So return -EINVAL there. Signed-off-by: Rob Landley <rob@landley.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
