2009-03-11NFS: Throttle page dirtying while we're flushing to diskTrond Myklebust
The following patch is a combination of a patch by myself and Peter Staubach. Trond: If we allow other processes to dirty pages while a process is doing a consistency sync to disk, we can end up never making progress. Peter: Attached is a patch which addresses a continuing problem with the NFS client generating out of order WRITE requests. While this is compliant with all of the current protocol specifications, there are servers in the market which can not handle out of order WRITE requests very well. Also, this may lead to sub-optimal block allocations in the underlying file system on the server. This may cause the read throughputs to be reduced when reading the file from the server. Peter: There has been a lot of work recently done to address out of order issues on a systemic level. However, the NFS client is still susceptible to the problem. Out of order WRITE requests can occur when pdflush is in the middle of writing out pages while the process dirtying the pages calls generic_file_buffered_write which calls generic_perform_write which calls balance_dirty_pages_rate_limited which ends up calling writeback_inodes which ends up calling back into the NFS client to writes out dirty pages for the same file that pdflush happens to be working with.

2008-12-23optimize attribute timeouts for "noac" and "actimeo=0"Peter Staubach
Hi. I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0" mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were seeing in the file attributes. It turned out that this solution did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out. (With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always appear to be timed out.) In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one error in it. It is assuming that the cache is valid in the region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo]. The cache should be considered valid only in the region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo). With this change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally expected. This problem was previously addressed by special casing the attrtimeo == 0 case. However, since the problem is only an off- by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one error and thus, not require the special case.

2008-10-14NFS: Fix the resolution problem with nfs_inode_attrs_need_update()Trond Myklebust
It appears that 'jiffies' timestamps do not have high enough resolution for nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(). One problem is that a GETATTR can be launched within < 1 jiffy of the last operation that updated the attribute. Another problem is that RPC calls can take < 1 jiffy to execute. We can fix this by switching the variables to use a simple global counter that gets incremented every time we start another GETATTR call. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-10-07NFS: Allow concurrent inode revalidationTrond Myklebust
Currently, if two processes are both trying to revalidate metadata for the same inode, they will find themselves being serialised. There is no good justification for this now that we have improved our ability to detect stale attribute data, so we should remove that serialisation.

2008-03-07NFS: Fix the fsid revalidation in nfs_update_inode()Trond Myklebust
When we detect that we've crossed a mountpoint on the remote server, we must take care not to use that inode to revalidate the fsid on our current superblock. To do so, we label the inode as a remote mountpoint, and check for that in nfs_update_inode(). Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2007-10-19NFS: Fix a race in sillyrenameTrond Myklebust
lookup() and sillyrename() can race one another because the sillyrename() completion cannot take the parent directory's inode->i_mutex since the latter may be held by whoever is calling dput(). We therefore have little option but to add extra locking to ensure that nfs_lookup() and nfs_atomic_open() do not race with the sillyrename completion. If somebody has looked up the sillyrenamed file in the meantime, we just transfer the sillydelete information to the new dentry.

2007-10-09NFS: NFS_CACHEINV() should not test for nfs_caches_unstable()Trond Myklebust
The fact that we're in the process of modifying the inode does not mean that we should not invalidate the attribute and data caches.

2007-10-09NFS: Fake up 'wcc' attributes to prevent cache invalidation after writeTrond Myklebust
NFSv2 and v4 don't offer weak cache consistency attributes on WRITE calls. In NFSv3, returning wcc data is optional. In all cases, we want to prevent the client from invalidating our cached data whenever ->write_done() attempts to update the inode attributes.

2007-10-09NFS: Fix atime revalidation in readdir()Trond Myklebust
NFSv3 will correctly update atime on a readdir call, so there is no need to set the NFS_INO_INVALID_ATIME flag unless the call to nfs_refresh_inode() fails. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2007-10-09NFS: Don't force a dcache revalidation if nfs_wcc_update_inode succeedsTrond Myklebust
The reason is that if the weak cache consistency update was successful, then we know that our client must be the only one that changed the directory, and we've already updated the dcache to reflect the change. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2007-10-09NFS: fix nfs_verify_change_attributeTrond Myklebust
We always want to check that the verifier and directory cache_change_attribute match. This also allows us to remove the 'wraparound hack' for the cache_change_attribute.

2007-09-01NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()Trond Myklebust
Ryusuke Konishi says: The recent truncate_complete_page() clears the dirty flag from a page before calling a_ops->invalidatepage(), ^^^^^^ static void truncate_complete_page(struct address_space *mapping, struct page *page) { ... cancel_dirty_page(page, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); <--- Inserted here at kernel 2.6.20 if (PagePrivate(page)) do_invalidatepage(page, 0); ---> will call a_ops->invalidatepage() ... } and this is disturbing nfs_wb_page_priority() from calling nfs_writepage_locked() that is expected to handle the pending request (=nfs_page) associated with the page. int nfs_wb_page_priority(struct inode *inode, struct page *page, int how) { ... if (clear_page_dirty_for_io(page)) { ret = nfs_writepage_locked(page, &wbc); if (ret < 0) goto out; } ... } Since truncate_complete_page() will get rid of the page after a_ops->invalidatepage() returns, the request (=nfs_page) associated with the page becomes a garbage in nfs_inode->nfs_page_tree. ------------------------ Fix this by ensuring that nfs_wb_page_priority() recognises that it may also need to clear out non-dirty pages that have an nfs_page associated with them.
