2006-09-22SUNRPC: Eliminate xprt_create_proto and rpc_create_clientChuck Lever
The two function call API for creating a new RPC client is now obsolete. Remove it. Also, remove an unnecessary check to see whether the caller is capable of using privileged network services. The kernel RPC client always uses a privileged ephemeral port by default; callers are responsible for checking the authority of users to make use of any RPC service, or for specifying that a nonprivileged port is acceptable. Test plan: Repeated runs of Connectathon locking suite. Check network trace to ensure correctness of NLM requests and replies.

2006-09-22SUNRPC: use sockaddr + size when creating remote transport endpointsChuck Lever
Prepare for more generic transport endpoint handling needed by transports that might use different forms of addressing, such as IPv6. Introduce a single function call to replace the two-call xprt_create_proto/rpc_create_client API. Define a new rpc_create_args structure that allows callers to pass in remote endpoint addresses of varying length. Test-plan: Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled.

2006-09-22SUNRPC: Create API for displaying remote peer addressChuck Lever
Provide an API for formatting the remote peer address for printing without exposing its internal structure. The address could be dynamic, so we support a function call to get the address rather than reading it straight out of a structure. Test-plan: Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily). Probably need to rig a server where certain services aren't running, or that returns an error for some typical operation.

2006-09-22SUNRPC: create API for getting remote peer addressChuck Lever
Provide an API for retrieving the remote peer address without allowing direct access to the rpc_xprt struct. Test-plan: Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-09-22SUNRPC: Introduce transport switch callout for pluggable rpcbindChuck Lever
Introduce a clean transport switch API for plugging in different types of rpcbind mechanisms. For instance, rpcbind can cleanly replace the existing portmapper client, or a transport can choose to implement RPC binding any way it likes. Test plan: Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily). Connectathon with UDP and TCP. NFSv2/3 and NFSv4 mounting should be carefully checked. Probably need to rig a server where certain services aren't running, or that returns an error for some typical operation.

2006-09-22SUNRPC: Make RPC portmapper use per-transport storageChuck Lever
Move connection and bind state that was maintained in the rpc_clnt structure to the rpc_xprt structure. This will allow the creation of a clean API for plugging in different types of bind mechanisms. This brings improvements such as the elimination of a single spin lock to control serialization for all in-kernel RPC binding. A set of per-xprt bitops is used to serialize tasks during RPC binding, just like it now works for making RPC transport connections. Test-plan: Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily). Connectathon with UDP and TCP. NFSv2/3 and NFSv4 mounting should be carefully checked. Probably need to rig a server where certain services aren't running, or that returns an error for some typical operation.

2006-03-20SUNRPC: eliminate rpc_call()Chuck Lever
Clean-up: replace rpc_call() helper with direct call to rpc_call_sync. This makes NFSv2 and NFSv3 synchronous calls more computationally efficient, and reduces stack consumption in functions that used to invoke rpc_call more than once. Test plan: Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled. Connectathon on NFS version 2, version 3, and version 4 mount points.

2006-03-20SUNRPC: display human-readable procedure name in rpc_iostats outputChuck Lever
Add fields to the rpc_procinfo struct that allow the display of a human-readable name for each procedure in the rpc_iostats output. Also fix it so that the NFSv4 stats are broken up correctly by sub-procedure number. NFSv4 uses only two real RPC procedures: NULL, and COMPOUND. Test plan: Mount with NFSv2, NFSv3, and NFSv4, and do "cat /proc/self/mountstats". Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-03-20SUNRPC: provide a mechanism for collecting stats in the RPC clientChuck Lever
Add a simple mechanism for collecting stats in the RPC client. Stats are tabulated during xprt_release. Note that per_cpu shenanigans are not required here because the RPC client already serializes on the transport write lock. Test plan: Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS enabled. Basic performance regression testing with high-speed networking and high performance server. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-01-06SUNRPC: get rid of cl_chattyChuck Lever
Clean up: Every ULP that uses the in-kernel RPC client, except the NLM client, sets cl_chatty. There's no reason why NLM shouldn't set it, so just get rid of cl_chatty and always be verbose. Test-plan: Compile with CONFIG_NFS enabled. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <cel@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-01-06SUNRPC: new interface to force an RPC rebindChuck Lever
We'd like to hide fields in rpc_xprt and rpc_clnt from upper layer protocols. Start by creating an API to force RPC rebind, replacing logic that simply sets cl_port to zero. Test-plan: Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily). Connectathon with UDP and TCP. NFSv2/3 and NFSv4 mounting should be carefully checked. Probably need to rig a server where certain services aren't running, or that returns an error for some typical operation.

2006-01-06RPC: Clean up RPC task structureTrond Myklebust
Shrink the RPC task structure. Instead of storing separate pointers for task->tk_exit and task->tk_release, put them in a structure. Also pass the user data pointer as a parameter instead of passing it via task->tk_calldata. This enables us to nest callbacks. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2005-06-22[PATCH] RPC: Make rpc_create_client() probe server for RPC program+version ↵Trond Myklebust
support Ensure that we don't create an RPC client without checking that the server does indeed support the RPC program + version that we are trying to set up. This enables us to immediately return an error to "mount" if it turns out that the server is only supporting NFSv2, when we requested NFSv3 or NFSv4.

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!
