2009-03-11SUNRPC: Return EAGAIN instead of ENOTCONN when waking up xprt->pendingTrond Myklebust
While we should definitely return socket errors to the task that is currently trying to send data, there is no need to propagate the same error to all the other tasks on xprt->pending. Doing so actually slows down recovery, since it causes more than one tasks to attempt socket recovery. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2009-03-11SUNRPC: Handle ECONNREFUSED correctly in xprt_transmit()Trond Myklebust
If we get an ECONNREFUSED error, we currently go to sleep on the 'xprt->sending' wait queue. The problem is that no timeout is set there, and there is nothing else that will wake the task up later. We should deal with ECONNREFUSED in call_status, given that is where we also deal with -EHOSTDOWN, and friends. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-07-09SUNRPC: Ensure all transports set rq_xtime consistentlyChuck Lever
The RPC client uses the rq_xtime field in each RPC request to determine the round-trip time of the request. Currently, the rq_xtime field is initialized by each transport just before it starts enqueing a request to be sent. However, transports do not handle initializing this value consistently; sometimes they don't initialize it at all. To make the measurement of request round-trip time consistent for all RPC client transport capabilities, pull rq_xtime initialization into the RPC client's generic transport logic. Now all transports will get a standardized RTT measure automatically, from: xprt_transmit() to xprt_complete_rqst() This makes round-trip time calculation more accurate for the TCP transport. The socket ->sendmsg() method can return "-EAGAIN" if the socket's output buffer is full, so the TCP transport's ->send_request() method may call the ->sendmsg() method repeatedly until it gets all of the request's bytes queued in the socket's buffer. Currently, the TCP transport sets the rq_xtime field every time through that loop so the final value is the timestamp just before the *last* call to the underlying socket's ->sendmsg() method. After this patch, the rq_xtime field contains a timestamp that reflects the time just before the *first* call to ->sendmsg(). This is consequential under heavy workloads because large requests often take multiple ->sendmsg() calls to get all the bytes of a request queued. The TCP transport causes the request to sleep until the remote end of the socket has received enough bytes to clear space in the socket's local output buffer. This delay can be quite significant. The method introduced by this patch is a more accurate measure of RTT for stream transports, since the server can cause enough back pressure to delay (ie increase the latency of) requests from the client. Additionally, this patch corrects the behavior of the RDMA transport, which entirely neglected to initialize the rq_xtime field. RPC performance metrics for RDMA transports now display correct RPC request round trip times.

2008-04-19SUNRPC: Don't disconnect more than once if retransmitting NFSv4 requestsTrond Myklebust
NFSv4 requires us to ensure that we break the TCP connection before we're allowed to retransmit a request. However in the case where we're retransmitting several requests that have been sent on the same connection, we need to ensure that we don't interfere with the attempt to reconnect and/or break the connection again once it has been established. We therefore introduce a 'connection' cookie that is bumped every time a connection is broken. This allows requests to track if they need to force a disconnection.

2008-04-19SUNRPC: Fix read ordering problems with req->rq_private_buf.lenTrond Myklebust
We want to ensure that req->rq_private_buf.len is updated before req->rq_received, so that call_decode() doesn't use an old value for req->rq_rcv_buf.len. In 'call_decode()' itself, instead of using task->tk_status (which is set using req->rq_received) must use the actual value of req->rq_private_buf.len when deciding whether or not the received RPC reply is too short. Finally ensure that we set req->rq_rcv_buf.len to zero when retrying a request. A typo meant that we were resetting req->rq_private_buf.len in call_decode(), and then clobbering that value with the old rq_rcv_buf.len again in xprt_transmit().

2008-04-19SUNRPC: Fix up xprt_write_space()Trond Myklebust
The rest of the networking layer uses SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE to signal whether or not we have someone waiting for buffer memory. Convert the SUNRPC layer to use the same idiom. Remove the unlikely()s in xs_udp_write_space and xs_tcp_write_space. In fact, the most common case will be that there is nobody waiting for buffer space. SOCK_NOSPACE is there to tell the TCP layer whether or not the cwnd was limited by the application window. Ensure that we follow the same idiom as the rest of the networking layer here too. Finally, ensure that we clear SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE once we wake up, so that write_space() doesn't keep waking things up on xprt->pending. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2008-02-25SUNRPC: Run rpc timeout functions as callbacks instead of in softirqsTrond Myklebust
An audit of the current RPC timeout functions shows that they don't really ever need to run in the softirq context. As long as the softirq is able to signal that the wakeup is due to a timeout (which it can do by setting task->tk_status to -ETIMEDOUT) then the callback functions can just run as standard task->tk_callback functions (in the rpciod/process context). The only possible border-line case would be xprt_timer() for the case of UDP, when the callback is used to reduce the size of the transport congestion window. In testing, however, the effect of moving that update to a callback would appear to be minor. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2007-07-10SUNRPC: fix hang due to eventd deadlock...Trond Myklebust
Brian Behlendorf writes: The root cause of the NFS hang we were observing appears to be a rare deadlock between the kernel provided usermodehelper API and the linux NFS client. The deadlock can arise because both of these services use the generic linux work queues. The usermodehelper API run the specified user application in the context of the work queue. And NFS submits both cleanup and reconnect work to the generic work queue for handling. Normally this is fine but a deadlock can result in the following situation. - NFS client is in a disconnected state - [events/0] runs a usermodehelper app with an NFS dependent operation, this triggers an NFS reconnect. - NFS reconnect happens to be submitted to [events/0] work queue. - Deadlock, the [events/0] work queue will never process the reconnect because it is blocked on the previous NFS dependent operation which will not complete.` The solution is simply to run reconnect requests on rpciod.

2007-04-30SUNRPC: Eliminate side effects from rpc_mallocChuck Lever
Currently rpc_malloc sets req->rq_buffer internally. Make this a more generic interface: return a pointer to the new buffer (or NULL) and make the caller set req->rq_buffer and req->rq_bufsize. This looks much more like kmalloc and eliminates the side effects. To fix a potential deadlock, this patch also replaces GFP_NOFS with GFP_NOWAIT in rpc_malloc. This prevents async RPCs from sleeping outside the RPC's task scheduler while allocating their buffer.

2007-04-30SUNRPC: RPC buffer size estimates are too largeChuck Lever
The RPC buffer size estimation logic in net/sunrpc/clnt.c always significantly overestimates the requirements for the buffer size. A little instrumentation demonstrated that in fact rpc_malloc was never allocating the buffer from the mempool, but almost always called kmalloc. To compute the size of the RPC buffer more precisely, split p_bufsiz into two fields; one for the argument size, and one for the result size. Then, compute the sum of the exact call and reply header sizes, and split the RPC buffer precisely between the two. That should keep almost all RPC buffers within the 2KiB buffer mempool limit. And, we can finally be rid of RPC_SLACK_SPACE! Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2007-04-20RPC: Fix the TCP resend semantics for NFSv4Trond Myklebust
Fix a regression due to the patch "NFS: disconnect before retrying NFSv4 requests over TCP" The assumption made in xprt_transmit() that the condition "req->rq_bytes_sent == 0 and request is on the receive list" should imply that we're dealing with a retransmission is false. Firstly, it may simply happen that the socket send queue was full at the time the request was initially sent through xprt_transmit(). Secondly, doing this for each request that was retransmitted implies that we disconnect and reconnect for _every_ request that happened to be retransmitted irrespective of whether or not a disconnection has already occurred. Fix is to move this logic into the call_status request timeout handler. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-02-12NFS: disconnect before retrying NFSv4 requests over TCPChuck Lever
RFC3530 section 3.1.1 states an NFSv4 client MUST NOT send a request twice on the same connection unless it is the NULL procedure. Section 3.1.1 suggests that the client should disconnect and reconnect if it wants to retry a request. Implement this by adding an rpc_clnt flag that an ULP can use to specify that the underlying transport should be disconnected on a major timeout. The NFSv4 client asserts this new flag, and requests no retries after a minor retransmit timeout. Note that disconnecting on a retransmit is in general not safe to do if the RPC client does not reuse the TCP port number when reconnecting.

2006-11-22WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context dataDavid Howells
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
