SUNRPC: continue run over clients list on PipeFS event instead of break

2013-01-17T16:46:08Z

commit cd6c5968582a273561464fe6b1e8cc8214be02df upstream. There are SUNRPC clients, which program doesn't have pipe_dir_name. These clients can be skipped on PipeFS events, because nothing have to be created or destroyed. But instead of breaking in case of such a client was found, search for suitable client over clients list have to be continued. Otherwise some clients could not be covered by PipeFS event handler.

SUNRPC: Introduce rpc_clone_client_set_auth()

2012-10-01T22:33:33Z

An ULP is supposed to be able to replace a GSS rpc_auth object with another GSS rpc_auth object using rpcauth_create(). However, rpcauth_create() in 3.5 reliably fails with -EEXIST in this case. This is because when gss_create() attempts to create the upcall pipes, sometimes they are already there. For example if a pipe FS mount event occurs, or a previous GSS flavor was in use for this rpc_clnt. It turns out that's not the only problem here. While working on a fix for the above problem, we noticed that replacing an rpc_clnt's rpc_auth is not safe, since dereferencing the cl_auth field is not protected in any way. So we're deprecating the ability of rpcauth_create() to switch an rpc_clnt's security flavor during normal operation. Instead, let's add a fresh API that clones an rpc_clnt and gives the clone a new flavor before it's used. This makes immediate use of the new __rpc_clone_client() helper. This can be used in a similar fashion to rpcauth_create() when a client is hunting for the correct security flavor. Instead of replacing an rpc_clnt's security flavor in a loop, the ULP replaces the whole rpc_clnt. To fix the -EEXIST problem, any ULP logic that relies on replacing an rpc_clnt's rpc_auth with rpcauth_create() must be changed to use this API instead.

SUNRPC: Refactor rpc_clone_client()

2012-10-01T22:32:07Z

rpc_clone_client() does most of the same tasks as rpc_new_client(), so there is an opportunity for code re-use. Create a generic helper that makes it easy to clone an RPC client while replacing any of the clnt's parameters. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

nfs: enable swap on NFS

2012-08-01T01:42:48Z

Implement the new swapfile a_ops for NFS and hook up ->direct_IO. This will set the NFS socket to SOCK_MEMALLOC and run socket reconnect under PF_MEMALLOC as well as reset SOCK_MEMALLOC before engaging the protocol ->connect() method. PF_MEMALLOC should allow the allocation of struct socket and related objects and the early (re)setting of SOCK_MEMALLOC should allow us to receive the packets required for the TCP connection buildup.

sunrpc: fix loss of task->tk_status after rpc_delay call in xprt_alloc_slot

2012-05-19T16:12:53Z

xprt_alloc_slot will call rpc_delay() to make the task wait a bit before retrying when it gets back an -ENOMEM error from xprt_dynamic_alloc_slot. The problem is that rpc_delay will clear the task->tk_status, causing call_reserveresult to abort the task. The solution is simply to let call_reserveresult handle the ENOMEM error directly.

vfs: make it possible to access the dentry hash/len as one 64-bit entry

2012-05-11T02:54:35Z

This allows comparing hash and len in one operation on 64-bit architectures. Right now only __d_lookup_rcu() takes advantage of this, since that is the case we care most about. The use of anonymous struct/unions hides the alternate 64-bit approach from most users, the exception being a few cases where we initialize a 'struct qstr' with a static initializer. This makes the problematic cases use a new QSTR_INIT() helper function for that (but initializing just the name pointer with a "{ .name = xyzzy }" initializer remains valid, as does just copying another qstr structure).
