2008-04-23svcrpc: move unused field from cache_deferred_reqJ. Bruce Fields
This field is set once and never used; probably some artifact of an earlier implementation idea. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2008-02-01knfsd: allow cache_register to return error on failureJ. Bruce Fields
Newer server features such as nfsv4 and gss depend on proc to work, so a failure to initialize the proc files they need should be treated as fatal. Thanks to Andrew Morton for style fix and compile fix in case where CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is undefined. Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: J.

2008-02-01knfsd: cache unregistration needn't return errorJ. Bruce Fields
There's really nothing much the caller can do if cache unregistration fails. And indeed, all any caller does in this case is print an error and continue. So just return void and move the printk's inside cache_unregister. Acked-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

2006-10-04[PATCH] knfsd: knfsd: cache ipmap per TCP socketGreg Banks
Speed up high call-rate workloads by caching the struct ip_map for the peer on the connected struct svc_sock instead of looking it up in the ip_map cache hashtable on every call. This helps workloads using AUTH_SYS authentication over TCP. 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. Profiling showed strcmp(), called from ip_map_match(), was taking 4.8% of each CPU, and ip_map_lookup() was taking 2.9%. This patch drops both contribution into the profile noise. Note that the above result overstates this value of this patch for most workloads. The synthetic clients are all using separate IP addresses, so there are 64 entries in the ip_map cache hash. Because the kernel measured contained the bug fixed in commit commit 1f1e030bf75774b6a283518e1534d598e14147d4 and was running on 64bit little-endian machine, probably all of those 64 entries were on a single chain, thus increasing the cost of ip_map_lookup(). With a modern kernel you would need more clients to see the same amount of performance improvement. This patch has helped to scale knfsd to handle a deployment with 2000 NFS clients.

2006-03-27[PATCH] knfsd: Unexport cache_fresh and fix a small raceNeilBrown
Cache_fresh is now only used in cache.c, so unexport it. Part of cache_fresh (setting CACHE_VALID) should really be done under the lock, while part (calling cache_revisit_request etc) must be done outside the lock. So we split it up appropriately.

2005-09-07[PATCH] sunrpc: cache_register can use wrong module referenceBruce Allan
When registering an RPC cache, cache_register() always sets the owner as the sunrpc module. However, there are RPC caches owned by other modules. With the incorrect owner setting, the real owning module can be removed potentially with an open reference to the cache from userspace. For example, if one were to stop the nfs server and unmount the nfsd filesystem, the nfsd module could be removed eventhough rpc.idmapd had references to the idtoname and nametoid caches (i.e. /proc/net/rpc/nfs4.<cachename>/channel is still open). This resulted in a system panic on one of our machines when attempting to restart the nfs services after reloading the nfsd module. The following patch adds a 'struct module *owner' field in struct cache_detail. The owner is further assigned to the struct proc_dir_entry in cache_register() so that the module cannot be unloaded while user-space daemons have an open reference on the associated file under /proc.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
