d5b6443014 SUNRPC: add support for IPv6 to the kernel's rpcbind client
Prepare for adding IPv6 support to the RPC client by adding IPv6
capabilities to rpcbind.  Note that this is support on the query side
only; registering IPv6 addresses with the local portmapper will come
later.

Note we have to take care not to fall back to using version 2 of the
rpcbind protocol if we're dealing with IPv6 address.  Version 2 doesn't
support IPv6 at all.

9db619e665 rpc: fix garbage in printk in svc_tcp_accept()
we upgraded the kernel of a nfs-server from 2.6.17.11 to 2.6.22.6. Since
then we get the message

lockd: too many open TCP sockets, consider increasing the number of nfsd threads
lockd: last TCP connect from ^\\236^\É^D

These random characters in the second line are caused by a bug in
svc_tcp_accept.

(Note: there are two previous __svc_print_addr(sin, buf, sizeof(buf))
calls in this function, either of which would initialize buf correctly;
but both are inside "if"'s and are not necessarily executed.  This is
less obvious in the second case, which is inside a dprintk(), which is a
macro which expands to an if statement.)

7a1fa065a0 Correctly close old nfsd/lockd sockets.
Commit aaf68cfbf2 added a bias
to sk_inuse, so this test for an unused socket now fails.  So no
sockets get closed because they are old (they might get closed
if the client closed them).

This bug has existed since 2.6.21-rc1.

Thanks to Wolfgang Walter for finding and reporting the bug.

The commit 4ada539ed7 lead to the unpleasant
possibility of an asynchronous rpc_task being required to call
rpciod_down() when it is complete. This again means that the rpciod
workqueue may get to call destroy_workqueue on itself -> hang...

cb27680580 nfsd: fix possible oops on re-insertion of rpcsec_gss modules
The handling of the re-registration case is wrong here; the "test" that was
returned from auth_domain_lookup will not be used again, so that reference
should be put.  And auth_domain_lookup never did anything with "new" in
this case, so we should just clean it up ourself.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's

BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()

about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,

4796f45740 knfsd: nfsd4: secinfo handling without secinfo= option
We could return some sort of error in the case where someone asks for secinfo
on an export without the secinfo= option set--that'd be no worse than what
we've been doing.  But it's not really correct.  So, hack up an approximate
secinfo response in that case--it may not be complete, but it'll tell the
client at least one acceptable security flavor.

3ab4d8b121 knfsd: nfsd: set rq_client to ip-address-determined-domain
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.

8e1f936b73 mm: clean up and kernelify shrinker registration
I can never remember what the function to register to receive VM pressure
is called.  I have to trace down from __alloc_pages() to find it.

It's called "set_shrinker()", and it needs Your Help.

1) Don't hide struct shrinker.  It contains no magic.
2) Don't allocate "struct shrinker".  It's not helpful.
3) Call them "register_shrinker" and "unregister_shrinker".
4) Call the function "shrink" not "shrinker".
5) Reduce the 17 lines of waffly comments to 13, but document it properly.

c1384c9c4c SUNRPC: fix hang due to eventd deadlock...
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.

05ed690efb knfsd: simplify a 'while' condition in svcsock.c
This while loop has an overly complex condition, which performs a couple of
assignments.  This hurts readability.

We don't really need a loop at all.  We can just return -EAGAIN and (providing
we set SK_DATA), the function will be called again.

So discard the loop, make the complex conditional become a few clear function
calls, and hopefully improve readability.

54f9247b3f knfsd: fix resource leak resulting in module refcount leak for rpcsec_gss_krb5.ko
I have been investigating a module reference count leak on the server for
rpcsec_gss_krb5.ko.  It turns out the problem is a reference count leak for
the security context in net/sunrpc/auth_gss/svcauth_gss.c.

The problem is that gss_write_init_verf() calls gss_svc_searchbyctx() which
does a rsc_lookup() but never releases the reference to the context.  There is
another issue that rpc.svcgssd sets an "end of time" expiration for the
context

By adding a cache_put() call in gss_svc_searchbyctx(), and setting an
expiration timeout in the downcall, cache_clean() does clean up the context
and the module reference count now goes to zero after unmount.

I also verified that if the context expires and then the client makes a new
request, a new context is established.

Here is the patch to fix the kernel, I will start a separate thread to discuss
what expiration time should be set by rpc.svcgssd.

cd123012d9 RPC: add wrapper for svc_reserve to account for checksum
When the kernel calls svc_reserve to downsize the expected size of an RPC
reply, it fails to account for the possibility of a checksum at the end of
the packet.  If a client mounts a NFSv2/3 with sec=krb5i/p, and does I/O
then you'll generally see messages similar to this in the server's ring
buffer:

RPC request reserved 164 but used 208

While I was never able to verify it, I suspect that this problem is also
the root cause of some oopses I've seen under these conditions:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227726

This is probably also a problem for other sec= types and for NFSv4.  The
large reserved size for NFSv4 compound packets seems to generally paper
over the problem, however.

This patch adds a wrapper for svc_reserve that accounts for the possibility
of a checksum.  It also fixes up the appropriate callers of svc_reserve to
call the wrapper.  For now, it just uses a hardcoded value that I
determined via testing.  That value may need to be revised upward as things
change, or we may want to eventually add a new auth_op that attempts to
calculate this somehow.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a good way to reliably determine
the expected checksum length prior to actually calculating it, particularly
with schemes like spkm3.

Commit c5a4dd8b7c introduced the following
compiler warnings:

net/sunrpc/sched.c:766: warning: format '%u' expects type 'unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'size_t'
net/sunrpc/sched.c:785: warning: format '%u' expects type 'unsigned int', but argument 2 has type 'size_t'

  - Use %zu to format size_t
  - Kill 2 useless casts

50953fe9e0 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.
