2006-12-15Fix SUNRPC wakeup/execute race conditionChristophe Saout
The sunrpc scheduler contains a race condition that can let an RPC task end up being neither running nor on any wait queue. The race takes place between rpc_make_runnable (called from rpc_wake_up_task) and __rpc_execute under the following condition: First __rpc_execute calls tk_action which puts the task on some wait queue. The task is dequeued by another process before __rpc_execute continues its execution. While executing rpc_make_runnable exactly after setting the task `running' bit and before clearing the `queued' bit __rpc_execute picks up execution, clears `running' and subsequently both functions fall through, both under the false assumption somebody else took the job. Swapping rpc_test_and_set_running with rpc_clear_queued in rpc_make_runnable fixes that hole. This introduces another possible race condition that can be handled by checking for `queued' after setting the `running' bit. Bug noticed on a 4-way x86_64 system under XEN with an NFSv4 server on the same physical machine, apparently one of the few ways to hit this race condition at all.

2006-11-05knfsd: Fix race that can disable NFS server.Neil Brown
This is a long standing bug that seems to have only recently become apparent, presumably due to increasing use of NFS over TCP - many distros seem to be making it the default. The SK_CONN bit gets set when a listening socket may be ready for an accept, just as SK_DATA is set when data may be available. It is entirely possible for svc_tcp_accept to be called with neither of these set. It doesn't happen often but there is a small race in svc_sock_enqueue as SK_CONN and SK_DATA are tested outside the spin_lock. They could be cleared immediately after the test and before the lock is gained. This normally shouldn't be a problem. The sockets are non-blocking so trying to read() or accept() when ther is nothing to do is not a problem. However: svc_tcp_recvfrom makes the decision "Should I accept() or should I read()" based on whether SK_CONN is set or not. This usually works but is not safe. The decision should be based on whether it is a TCP_LISTEN socket or a TCP_CONNECTED socket. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>

2006-02-01SUNRPC: Fix a lock recursion in the auth_gss downcallTrond Myklebust

2006-01-08[PATCH] shrink dentry structEric Dumazet
Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple of memory cache lines. Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning (128 + 8 = 136 bytes) This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u), where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their memory needs. At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing. Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints) As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

2006-01-06SUNRPC: switchable buffer allocationChuck Lever
Add RPC client transport switch support for replacing buffer management on a per-transport basis. In the current IPv4 socket transport implementation, RPC buffers are allocated as needed for each RPC message that is sent. Some transport implementations may choose to use pre-allocated buffers for encoding, sending, receiving, and unmarshalling RPC messages, however. For transports capable of direct data placement, the buffers can be carved out of a pre-registered area of memory rather than from a slab cache. Test-plan: Millions of fsx operations. Performance characterization with "sio" and "iozone". Use oprofile and other tools to look for significant regression in CPU utilization.

I submitted this one previously - svc_tcp_recvfrom currently returns any errors to the caller, including ECONNRESET and the like.

2006-01-06[PATCH] knfsd: fix hash function for IP addresses on 64bit little-endian ↵NeilBrown
machines. The hash.h hash_long function, when used on a 64 bit machine, ignores many of the middle-order bits. (The prime chosen it too bit-sparse). IP addresses for clients of an NFS server are very likely to differ only in the low-order bits. As addresses are stored in network-byte-order, these bits become middle-order bits in a little-endian 64bit 'long', and so do not contribute to the hash. Thus you can have the situation where all clients appear on one hash chain. So, until hash_long is fixed (or maybe forever), us a hash function that works well on IP addresses - xor the bytes together. Thanks to "Iozone" <capps@iozone.org> for identifying this problem.

I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at least) This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const, so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing. This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly) I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make them const.

2005-11-09[PATCH] sanitize lookup_hash prototypeChristoph Hellwig
->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to pass down lookup intents. Unfortunately some callers of lookup_hash don't actually pass this one down. For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation. All other callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it. All callers already have the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem. At the same time I'd like to deprecate the lookup_hash interface as there are better exported interfaces for filesystem usage. Before it can actually be removed I need to fix up rpc_pipefs.
