Chuck Lever eb16e90778 lockd: Start PF_INET6 listener only if IPv6 support is available
Apparently a lot of people need to disable IPv6 completely on their
distributor-built systems, which have CONFIG_IPV6_MODULE enabled at
build time.

They do this by blacklisting the ipv6.ko module.  This causes the
creation of the lockd service listener to fail if CONFIG_IPV6_MODULE
is set, but the module cannot be loaded.

Now that the kernel's PF_INET6 RPC listeners are completely separate
from PF_INET listeners, we can always start PF_INET.  Then lockd can
try to start PF_INET6, but it isn't required to be available.

Note this has the added benefit that NLM callbacks from AF_INET6
servers will never come from AF_INET remotes.  We no longer have to
worry about matching mapped IPv4 addresses to AF_INET when comparing
addresses.

Chuck Lever 9355982830 SUNRPC: Remove CONFIG_SUNRPC_REGISTER_V4
We just augmented the kernel's RPC service registration code so that
it automatically adjusts to what is supported in user space.  Thus we
no longer need the kernel configuration option to enable registering
RPC services with v4 -- it's all done automatically.

Move error reporting for RPC registration to rpcb_register's caller.

This way the caller can choose to recover silently from certain
errors, but report errors it does not recognize.  Error reporting

Chuck Lever cadc0fa534 SUNRPC: Simplify kernel RPC service registration
The kernel registers RPC services with the local portmapper with an
rpcbind SET upcall to the local portmapper.  Traditionally, this used
rpcbind v2 (PMAP), but registering RPC services that support IPv6
requires rpcbind v3 or v4.

Since we now want separate PF_INET and PF_INET6 listeners for each
kernel RPC service, svc_register() will do only one of those
registrations at a time.

For PF_INET, it tries an rpcb v4 SET upcall first; if that fails, it
does a legacy portmap SET.  This makes it entirely backwards
compatible with legacy user space, but allows a proper v4 SET to be
used if rpcbind is available.

For PF_INET6, it does an rpcb v4 SET upcall.  If that fails, it fails
the registration, and thus the transport creation.  This let's the
kernel detect if user space is able to support IPv6 RPC services, and
thus whether it should maintain a PF_INET6 listener for each service
at all.

This provides complete backwards compatibilty with legacy user space
that only supports rpcbind v2.  The only down-side is that registering
a new kernel RPC service may take an extra exchange with the local
portmapper on legacy systems, but this is an infrequent operation and
is done over UDP (no lingering sockets in TIMEWAIT), so it shouldn't
be consequential.

Chuck Lever d5a8620f7c SUNRPC: Simplify svc_unregister()
Our initial implementation of svc_unregister() assumed that PMAP_UNSET
cleared all rpcbind registrations for a [program, version] tuple.
However, we now have evidence that PMAP_UNSET clears only "inet"
entries, and not "inet6" entries, in the rpcbind database.

For backwards compatibility with the legacy portmapper, the
svc_unregister() function also must work if user space doesn't support
rpcbind version 4 at all.

Thus we'll send an rpcbind v4 UNSET, and if that fails, we'll send a
PMAP_UNSET.

This simplifies the code in svc_unregister() and provides better
backwards compatibility with legacy user space that does not support
rpcbind version 4.  We can get rid of the conditional compilation in
here as well.

Chuck Lever 1673d0de40 SUNRPC: Allow callers to pass rpcb_v4_register a NULL address
The user space TI-RPC library uses an empty string for the universal
address when unregistering all target addresses for [program, version].
The kernel's rpcb client should behave the same way.

Here, we are switching between several registration methods based on
the protocol family of the incoming address.  Rename the other rpcbind
v4 registration functions to make it clear that they, as well, are
switched on protocol family.  In /etc/netconfig, this is either "inet"
or "inet6".

NB: The loopback protocol families are not supported in the kernel.

Chuck Lever 126e4bc3b3 SUNRPC: rpcbind actually interprets r_owner string
RFC 1833 has little to say about the contents of r_owner; it only
specifies that it is a string, and states that it is used to control
who can UNSET an entry.

Our port of rpcbind (from Sun) assumes this string contains a numeric
UID value, not alphabetical or symbolic characters, but checks this
value only for AF_LOCAL RPCB_SET or RPCB_UNSET requests.  In all other
cases, rpcbind ignores the contents of the r_owner string.

The reference user space implementation of rpcb_set(3) uses a numeric
UID for all SET/UNSET requests (even via the network) and an empty
string for all other requests.  We emulate that behavior here to
maintain bug-for-bug compatibility.

Chuck Lever ba5c35e0c7 SUNRPC: Don't return EPROTONOSUPPORT in svc_register()'s helpers
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

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.

Chuck Lever fc28decdc9 SUNRPC: Use IPv4 loopback for registering AF_INET6 kernel RPC services
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.

Since this argument represents a protocol family, and not an address

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().

Chuck Lever 776bd5c7a2 SUNRPC: Don't flag empty RPCB_GETADDR reply as bogus
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).

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.

Trond Myklebust 72cb77f4a5 NFS: Throttle page dirtying while we're flushing to disk
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.

Trond Myklebust a65318bf3a NFSv4: Simplify some cache consistency post-op GETATTRs
Certain asynchronous operations such as write() do not expect
(or care) that other metadata such as the file owner, mode, acls, ...
change. All they want to do is update and/or check the change attribute,
ctime, and mtime.
By skipping the file owner and group update, we also avoid having to do a
potential idmapper upcall for these asynchronous RPC calls.

Trond Myklebust bca794785c NFS: Fix the type of struct nfs_fattr->mode
There is no point in using anything other than umode_t, since we copy the
content pretty much directly into inode->i_mode.

Trond Myklebust 1ca277d88d NFS: Shrink the struct nfs_fattr
We don't need the bitmap[] field anymore, since the 'valid' field tells us
all we need to know about which attributes were filled in...
Also move the pre-op attributes in order to improve the structure packing.

Trond Myklebust 9e6e70f8d8 NFSv4: Support NFSv4 optional attributes in the struct nfs_fattr
Currently, filling struct nfs_fattr is more or less an all or nothing
operation, since NFSv2 and NFSv3 have only mandatory attributes.
In NFSv4, some attributes are optional, and so we may simply not be able to
fill in those fields. Furthermore, NFSv4 allows you to specify which
attributes you are interested in retrieving, thus permitting you to
optimise away retrieval of attributes that you know will no change...
