The RPC client returns -EPROTONOSUPPORT if there is a protocol version
mismatch (ie the remote RPC server doesn't support the RPC protocol
version sent by the client).
Helpers for the svc_register() function return -EPROTONOSUPPORT if they
don't recognize the passed-in IPPROTO_ value.
These are two entirely different failure modes.
Have the helpers return -ENOPROTOOPT instead of -EPROTONOSUPPORT. This
will allow callers to determine more precisely what the underlying
problem is, and decide to report or recover appropriately.

The kernel uses an IPv6 loopback address when registering its AF_INET6
RPC services so that it can tell whether the local portmapper is
actually IPv6-enabled.
Since the legacy portmapper doesn't listen on IPv6, however, this
causes a long timeout on older systems if the kernel happens to try
creating and registering an AF_INET6 RPC service. Originally I wanted
to use a connected transport (either TCP or connected UDP) so that the
upcall would fail immediately if the portmapper wasn't listening on
IPv6, but we never agreed on what transport to use.
In the end, it's of little consequence to the kernel whether the local
portmapper is listening on IPv6. It's only important whether the
portmapper supports rpcbind v4. And the kernel can't tell that at all
if it is sending requests via IPv6 -- the portmapper will just ignore
them.
So, send both rpcbind v2 and v4 SET/UNSET requests via IPv4 loopback
to maintain better backwards compatibility between new kernels and
legacy user space, and prevent multi-second hangs in some cases when
the kernel attempts to register RPC services.

We are about to convert to using separate RPC listener sockets for
PF_INET and PF_INET6. This echoes the way IPv6 is handled in user
space by TI-RPC, and eliminates the need for ULPs to worry about
mapped IPv4 AF_INET6 addresses when doing address comparisons.
Start by setting the IPV6ONLY flag on PF_INET6 RPC listener sockets.

The sv_family field is going away. Instead of using sv_family, have
the svc_register() function take a protocol family argument.
Since this argument represents a protocol family, and not an address
family, this argument takes an int, as this is what is passed to
sock_create_kern(). Also make sure svc_register's helpers are
checking for PF_FOO instead of AF_FOO. The value of [AP]F_FOO are
equivalent; this is simply a symbolic change to reflect the semantics
of the value stored in that variable.
sock_create_kern() should return EPFNOSUPPORT if the passed-in
protocol family isn't supported, but it uses EAFNOSUPPORT for this
case. We will stick with that tradition here, as svc_register()
is called by the RPC server in the same path as sock_create_kern().

In 2007, commit e65fe3976f added
additional sanity checking to rpcb_decode_getaddr() to make sure we
were getting a reply that was long enough to be an actual universal
address. If the uaddr string isn't long enough, the XDR decoder
returns EIO.
However, an empty string is a valid RPCB_GETADDR response if the
requested service isn't registered. Moreover, "::.n.m" is also a
valid RPCB_GETADDR response for IPv6 addresses that is shorter
than rpcb_decode_getaddr()'s lower limit of 11. So this sanity
check introduced a regression for rpcbind requests against IPv6
remotes.
So revert the lower bound check added by commit
e65fe3976f, and add an explicit check
for an empty uaddr string, similar to libtirpc's rpcb_getaddr(3).

As long as one task is holding the socket lock, then calls to
xprt_force_disconnect(xprt) will not succeed in shutting down the socket.
In particular, this would mean that a server initiated shutdown will not
succeed until the lock is relinquished.

This fixes a regression against FreeBSD servers as reported by Tomas
Kasparek. Apparently when using RPC over a TCP socket, the FreeBSD servers
don't ever react to the client closing the socket, and so commit
e06799f958 (SUNRPC: Use shutdown() instead of
close() when disconnecting a TCP socket) causes the setup to hang forever
whenever the client attempts to close and then reconnect.
We break the deadlock by adding a 'linger2' style timeout to the socket,
after which, the client will abort the connection using a TCP 'RST'.
The default timeout is set to 15 seconds. A subsequent patch will put it
under user control by means of a systctl.

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.

If cached directory contents becomes incorrect, there is no way to
flush the contents. This contrasts with files where file locking is
the recommended way to ensure cache consistency between multiple
applications (a read-lock always flushes the cache).
Also while changes to files often change the size of the file (thus
triggering a cache flush), changes to directories often do not change
the apparent size (as the size is often rounded to a block size).
So it is particularly important with directories to avoid the
possibility of an incorrect cache wherever possible.
When the link count on a directory changes it implies a change in the
number of child directories, and so a change in the contents of this
directory. So use that as a trigger to flush cached contents.
When the ctime changes but the mtime does not, there are two possible
reasons.
1/ The owner/mode information has been changed.
2/ utimes has been used to set the mtime backwards.
In the first case, a data-cache flush is not required.
In the second case it is.
So on the basis that correctness trumps performance, flush the
directory contents cache in this case also.

To clear out old state, the UDP connect workers unconditionally invoke
xs_close() before proceeding with a new connect. Nowadays this causes
a spurious wake-up of the task waiting for the connect to complete.
This is a little racey, but usually harmless. The waiting task
immediately retries the connect via a call_bind/call_connect sequence,
which usually finds the transport already in the connected state
because the connect worker has finished in the background.
To avoid a spurious wake-up, factor the xs_close() logic that resets
the underlying socket into a helper, and have the UDP connect workers
call that helper instead of xs_close().

Hi Trond,
I have been looking at a bugreport where trying to open applications on KDE
on a NFS mounted home fails temporarily. There have been multiple reports on
different kernel versions pointing to this common issue:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12557https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/269954http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508866.html
This issue can be reproducible consistently by doing this on a NFS mounted
home (KDE):
1. Open 2 xterm sessions
2. From one of the xterm session, do "ssh -X <remote host>"
3. "stat ~/.Xauthority" on the remote SSH session
4. Close the two xterm sessions
5. On the server do a "stat ~/.Xauthority"
6. Now on the client, try to open xterm
This will fail.
Even if the filehandle had become stale, the NFS client should invalidate
the cache/inode and should repeat LOOKUP. Looking at the packet capture when
the failure occurs shows that there were two subsequent ACCESS() calls with
the same filehandle and both fails with -ESTALE error.
I have tested the fix below. Now the client issue a LOOKUP after the
ACCESS() call fails with -ESTALE. If all this makes sense to you, can you
consider this for inclusion?
Thanks,
If the server returns an -ESTALE error due to stale filehandle in response to
an ACCESS() call, we need to invalidate the cache and inode so that LOOKUP()
can be retried. Without this change, the nfs client retries ACCESS() with the
same filehandle, fails again and could lead to temporary failure of
applications running on nfs mounted home.
