NLM: have server-side RPC clients default to soft RPC tasks

2008-02-10T23:09:36Z

Now that it no longer does an RPC ping, lockd always ends up queueing an RPC task for the GRANT_MSG callback. But, it also requeues the block for later attempts. Since these are hard RPC tasks, if the client we're calling back goes unresponsive the GRANT_MSG callbacks can stack up in the RPC queue. Fix this by making server-side RPC clients default to soft RPC tasks. lockd requeues the block anyway, so this should be OK. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields

NLM: set RPC_CLNT_CREATE_NOPING for NLM RPC clients

2008-02-10T23:09:36Z

It's currently possible for an unresponsive NLM client to completely lock up a server's lockd. The scenario is something like this: 1) client1 (or a process on the server) takes a lock on a file 2) client2 tries to take a blocking lock on the same file and awaits the callback 3) client2 goes unresponsive (plug pulled, network partition, etc) 4) client1 releases the lock ...at that point the server's lockd will try to queue up a GRANT_MSG callback for client2, but first it requeues the block with a timeout of 30s. nlm_async_call will attempt to bind the RPC client to client2 and will call rpc_ping. rpc_ping entails a sync RPC call and if client2 is unresponsive it will take around 60s for that to time out. Once it times out, it's already time to retry the block and the whole process repeats. Once in this situation, nlmsvc_retry_blocked will never return until the host starts responding again. lockd won't service new calls. Fix this by skipping the RPC ping on NLM RPC clients. This makes nlm_async_call return quickly when called. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields

NLM: tear down RPC clients in nlm_shutdown_hosts

2008-02-01T21:42:15Z

It's possible for a RPC to outlive the lockd daemon that created it, so we need to make sure that all RPC's are killed when lockd is coming down. When nlm_shutdown_hosts is called, kill off all RPC tasks associated with the host. Since we need to wait until they have all gone away, we might as well just shut down the RPC client altogether.

NLM: Fix sign of length of NLM variable length strings

2008-02-01T21:42:02Z

According to The Open Group's NLM specification, NLM callers are variable length strings. XDR variable length strings use an unsigned 32 bit length. And internally, negative string lengths are not meaningful for the Linux NLM implementation. Clean up: Make nlm_lock.len and nlm_reboot.len unsigned integers. This makes the sign of NLM string lengths consistent with the sign of xdr_netobj lengths. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever Acked-By: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields

[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h

2007-02-14T16:09:54Z

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

[PATCH] knfsd: SUNRPC: Provide room in svc_rqst for larger addresses

2007-02-12T17:48:36Z

Expand the rq_addr field to allow it to contain larger addresses. Specifically, we replace a 'sockaddr_in' with a 'sockaddr_storage', then everywhere the 'sockaddr_in' was referenced, we use instead an accessor function (svc_addr_in) which safely casts the _storage to _in.
