It's not enough to take a reference on the delegation object itself; we
need to ensure that the rpc_client won't go away just as we're about to
make an rpc call.

If a callback still holds a reference on the client, then it may be
about to perform an rpc call, so it isn't safe to call rpc_shutdown().
(Though rpc_shutdown() does wait for any outstanding rpc's, it can't
know if a new rpc is about to be issued with that client.)
So, wait to shutdown the rpc_client until the reference count on the
client has gone to zero.

Currently there's a race that can cause an oops in generic_setlease.
(In detail: nfsd, when it removes a lease, does so by calling
vfs_setlease() with F_UNLCK and a pointer to the fl_flock field, which
in turn points to nfsd's existing lease; but the first thing the
setlease code does is call time_out_leases(). If the lease happens to
already be beyond the lease break time, that will free the lease and (in
nfsd's release_private callback) set fl_flock to NULL, leading to a NULL
deference soon after in vfs_setlease().)
There are probably other things to fix here too, but it seems inherently
racy to allow either locks.c or nfsd to time out this lease. Instead
just set the fl_break_time to 0 (preventing locks.c from ever timing out
this lock) and leave it up to nfsd's laundromat thread to deal with it.

Modify the NFS server code to support 64 bit ino's, as
appropriate for the system and the NFS protocol version.
The gist of the changes is to query the underlying file system
for attributes and not just to use the cached attributes in the
inode. For this specific purpose, the inode only contains an
ino field which unsigned long, which is large enough on 64 bit
platforms, but is not large enough on 32 bit platforms.
I haven't been able to find any reason why ->getattr can't be called
while i_mutex. The specification indicates that i_mutex is not
required to be held in order to invoke ->getattr, but it doesn't say
that i_mutex can't be held while invoking ->getattr.
I also haven't come to any conclusions regarding the value of
lease_get_mtime() and whether it should or should not be invoked
by fill_post_wcc() too. I chose not to change this because I
thought that it was safer to leave well enough alone. If we
decide to make a change, it can be done separately.

It doesn't make sense to make the callback with credentials that the
client made the setclientid with. Instead the spec requires that the
callback occur with the credentials the client authenticated *to*.
It probably doesn't matter what we use for auth_unix, and some more
infrastructure will be needed for auth_gss, so let's just remove the
cred lookup for now.

We want to allow gss on the callback channel, so people using krb5 can
still get the benefits of delegations.
But looking up the rpc credential can take some time in that case. And
we shouldn't delay the response to setclientid_confirm while we wait.
It may be inefficient, but for now the simplest solution is just to
spawn a new thread as necessary for the purpose.

A succesful downcall with a negative result (which indicates that the given
filesystem is not exported to the given user) should not return an error.
Currently mountd is depending on stdio to write these downcalls. With some
versions of libc this appears to cause subsequent writes to attempt to write
all accumulated data (for which writes previously failed) along with any new
data. This can prevent the kernel from seeing responses to later downcalls.
Symptoms will be that nfsd fails to respond to certain requests.

The value of nperbucket calculated here is too small--we should be rounding up
instead of down--with the result that the index j in the following loop can
overflow the raparm_hash array. At least in my case, the next thing in memory
turns out to be export_table, so the symptoms I see are crashes caused by the
appearance of four zeroed-out export entries in the first bucket of the hash
table of exports (which were actually entries in the readahead cache, a
pointer to which had been written to the export table in this initialization
code).
It looks like the bug was probably introduced with commit
fce1456a19 ("knfsd: make the readahead params
cache SMP-friendly").

We've been using the convention that vfs_foo is the function that calls
a filesystem-specific foo method if it exists, or falls back on a
generic method if it doesn't; thus vfs_foo is what is called when some
other part of the kernel (normally lockd or nfsd) wants to get a lock,
whereas foo is what filesystems call to use the underlying local
functionality as part of their lock implementation.
So rename setlease to vfs_setlease (which will call a
filesystem-specific setlease after a later patch) and __setlease to
setlease.
Also, vfs_setlease need only be GPL-exported as long as it's only needed
by lockd and nfsd.

We want it to be possible for users to restrict exports both by IP address and
by pseudoflavor. The pseudoflavor information has previously been passed
using special auth_domains stored in the rq_client field. After the preceding
patch that stored the pseudoflavor in rq_pflavor, that's now superfluous; so
now we use rq_client for the ip information, as auth_null and auth_unix do.
However, we keep around the special auth_domain in the rq_gssclient field for
backwards compatibility purposes, so we can still do upcalls using the old
"gss/pseudoflavor" auth_domain if upcalls using the unix domain to give us an
appropriate export. This allows us to continue supporting old mountd.
In fact, for this first patch, we always use the "gss/pseudoflavor"
auth_domain (and only it) if it is available; thus rq_client is ignored in the
auth_gss case, and this patch on its own makes no change in behavior; that
will be left to later patches.
Note on idmap: I'm almost tempted to just replace the auth_domain in the idmap
upcall by a dummy value--no version of idmapd has ever used it, and it's
unlikely anyone really wants to perform idmapping differently depending on the
where the client is (they may want to perform *credential* mapping
differently, but that's a different matter--the idmapper just handles id's
used in getattr and setattr). But I'm updating the idmapd code anyway, just
out of general backwards-compatibility paranoia.

Currently exp_find(), exp_get_by_name(), and friends, return an export on
success, and on failure return:
errors -EAGAIN (drop this request pending an upcall) or
-ETIMEDOUT (an upcall has timed out), or
return NULL, which can mean either that there was a memory allocation
failure, or that an export was not found, or that a passed-in
export lacks an auth_domain.
Many callers seem to assume that NULL means that an export was not found,
which may lead to bugs in the case of a memory allocation failure.
Modify these functions to distinguish between the two NULL cases by returning
either -ENOENT or -ENOMEM. They now never return NULL. We get to simplify
some code in the process.
We return -ENOENT in the case of a missing auth_domain. This case should
probably be removed (or converted to a bug) after confirming that it can never
happen.

One more incremental delegation policy improvement: don't give out a

delegation be revoked on that file. (In practice we'll forget about the

Our original NFSv4 delegation policy was to give out a read delegation on any
open when it was possible to.
Since the lifetime of a delegation isn't limited to that of an open, a client
may quite reasonably hang on to a delegation as long as it has the inode
cached. This becomes an obvious problem the first time a client's inode cache
approaches the size of the server's total memory.
Our first quick solution was to add a hard-coded limit. This patch makes a
mild incremental improvement by varying that limit according to the server's
total memory size, allowing at most 4 delegations per megabyte of RAM.
My quick back-of-the-envelope calculation finds that in the worst case (where
every delegation is for a different inode), a delegation could take about
1.5K, which would make the worst case usage about 6% of memory. The new limit
works out to be about the same as the old on a 1-gig server.
