d310310cbf Freezer / sunrpc / NFS: don't allow TASK_KILLABLE sleeps to block the freezer
Allow the freezer to skip wait_on_bit_killable sleeps in the sunrpc
layer. This should allow suspend and hibernate events to proceed, even
when there are RPC's pending on the wire.

Also, wrap the TASK_KILLABLE sleeps in NFS layer in freezer_do_not_count
and freezer_count calls. This allows the freezer to skip tasks that are
sleeping while looping on EJUKEBOX or NFS4ERR_DELAY sorts of errors.

3b27bad7f7 SUNRPC: Allow caller of rpc_sleep_on() to select priority levels
Currently, the caller has to change the value of task->tk_priority if
it wants to select on which priority level the task will sleep.

This patch allows the caller to select a priority level at sleep time
rather than always using task->tk_priority.

0b760113a3 NLM: Don't hang forever on NLM unlock requests
If the NLM daemon is killed on the NFS server, we can currently end up
hanging forever on an 'unlock' request, instead of aborting. Basically,
if the rpcbind request fails, or the server keeps returning garbage, we
really want to quit instead of retrying.

bf294b41ce SUNRPC: Close a race in __rpc_wait_for_completion_task()
Although they run as rpciod background tasks, under normal operation
(i.e. no SIGKILL), functions like nfs_sillyrename(), nfs4_proc_unlck()
and nfs4_do_close() want to be fully synchronous. This means that when we
exit, we want all references to the rpc_task to be gone, and we want
any dentry references etc. held by that task to be released.

For this reason these functions call __rpc_wait_for_completion_task(),
followed by rpc_put_task() in the expectation that the latter will be
releasing the last reference to the rpc_task, and thus ensuring that the
callback_ops->rpc_release() has been called synchronously.

This patch fixes a race which exists due to the fact that
rpciod calls rpc_complete_task() (in order to wake up the callers of
__rpc_wait_for_completion_task()) and then subsequently calls
rpc_put_task() without ensuring that these two steps are done atomically.

In order to avoid adding new spin locks, the patch uses the existing
waitqueue spin lock to order the rpc_task reference count releases between
the waiting process and rpciod.
The common case where nobody is waiting for completion is optimised for by
checking if the RPC_TASK_ASYNC flag is cleared and/or if the rpc_task
reference count is 1: in those cases we drop trying to grab the spin lock,
and immediately free up the rpc_task.

Those few processes that need to put the rpc_task from inside an
asynchronous context and that do not care about ordering are given a new
helper: rpc_put_task_async().

ff8399709e SUNRPC: Replace jiffies-based metrics with ktime-based metrics
Currently RPC performance metrics that tabulate elapsed time use
jiffies time values.  This is problematic on systems that use slow
jiffies (for instance 100HZ systems built for paravirtualized
environments).  It is also a problem for computing precise latency
statistics for advanced network transports, such as InfiniBand,
that can have round-trip latencies significanly faster than a single
clock tick.

For the RPC client, adopt the high resolution time stamp mechanism
already used by the network layer and blktrace: ktime.

We use ktime format time stamps for all internal computations, and
convert to milliseconds for presentation.  As a result, we need only
addition operations in the performance critical paths; multiply/divide
is required only for presentation.

We could report RTT metrics in microseconds.  In fact the mountstats
format is versioned to accomodate exactly this kind of interface
improvement.

For now, however, we'll stay with millisecond precision for
presentation to maintain backwards compatibility with the handful of
currently deployed user space tools.  At a later point, we'll move to
an API such as BDI_STATS where a finer timestamp precision can be
reported.

We should probably not be testing any flags after we've cleared the

rpc_task to another workqueue, which may then destroy it.

We can fix any races with rpc_make_runnable() by ensuring that we only
clear the RPC_TASK_RUNNING flag while holding the rpc_wait_queue->lock that
the task is supposed to be sleeping on (and then checking whether or not
the task really is sleeping).

5d00837b90 SUNRPC: Run rpc timeout functions as callbacks instead of in softirqs
An audit of the current RPC timeout functions shows that they don't really
ever need to run in the softirq context. As long as the softirq is
able to signal that the wakeup is due to a timeout (which it can do by
setting task->tk_status to -ETIMEDOUT) then the callback functions can just
run as standard task->tk_callback functions (in the rpciod/process
context).

The only possible border-line case would be xprt_timer() for the case of
UDP, when the callback is used to reduce the size of the transport
congestion window. In testing, however, the effect of moving that update
to a callback would appear to be minor.

32bfb5c0f4 SUNRPC: Allow the rpc_release() callback to be run on another workqueue
A lot of the work done by the rpc_release() callback is inappropriate for
rpciod as it will often involve things like starting a new rpc call in
order to clean up state after an interrupted NFSv4 open() call, or
calls to mntput(), etc.

This patch allows the caller of rpc_run_task() to specify that the
rpc_release callback should run on a different workqueue than the default
rpciod_workqueue.

c5a4dd8b7c SUNRPC: Eliminate side effects from rpc_malloc
Currently rpc_malloc sets req->rq_buffer internally.  Make this a more
generic interface:  return a pointer to the new buffer (or NULL) and
make the caller set req->rq_buffer and req->rq_bufsize.  This looks much
more like kmalloc and eliminates the side effects.

To fix a potential deadlock, this patch also replaces GFP_NOFS with
GFP_NOWAIT in rpc_malloc.  This prevents async RPCs from sleeping outside
the RPC's task scheduler while allocating their buffer.

Christophe Saout
cc4dc59e55 Subject: Re: [PATCH] Fix SUNRPC wakeup/execute race condition
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.

65f27f3844 WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.

For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.

To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.

Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).

However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().

In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

e6d83d5569 [PATCH] SUNRPC: Fix potential deadlock in RPC code
In rpc_wake_up() and rpc_wake_up_status(), it is possible for the call to
__rpc_wake_up_task() to fail if another thread happens to be calling
rpc_wake_up_task() on the same rpc_task.

Problem noticed by Bruno Faccini.

0210714834 SUNRPC: switchable buffer allocation
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.
