2006-02-07[PATCH] knfsd: fix nfs4_open lock leakJ. Bruce Fields
I just noticed that my patch "don't create on open that fails due to ERR_GRACE" (recently commited as fb553c0f17444e090db951b96df4d2d71b4f4b6b) had an obvious problem that causes a deadlock on reboot recovery. Sending in this now since it seems like a clear 2.6.16 candidate.--b. We're returning with a lock held in some error cases. Signed-off-by: J.

2006-01-18[PATCH] knfsd: Provide missing NFSv2 part of patch for checking vfs_getattr.David Shaw
A recent patch which checked the return status of vfs_getattr in nfsd, completely missed the nfsproc.c (NFSv2) part. Here is it. This patch moved the call to vfs_getattr from the xdr encoding (at which point it is too late to return an error) to the call handling. This means several calls to vfs_getattr are needed in nfsproc.c. Many are encapsulated in nfsd_return_attrs and nfsd_return_dirop.

2006-01-18[PATCH] knfsd: Fix some more errno/nfserr confusion in vfs.cNeilBrown
nfsd_sync* return an errno, which usually needs to be converted to an errno, sometimes immediately, sometimes a little later. Also, nfsd_setattr returns an nfserr which SHOULDN'T be converted from an errno (because it isn't one). Also some tidyups of the form: err = XX err = nfserrno(err) and err = XX if (err) err = nfserrno(err) become err = nfserrno(XX) Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

missing nfserrno() in default case of a switch by return value of posix_lock_file(); as the result we send negative host-endian to clients that expect positive network-endian, preferably mentioned in RFC...

2006-01-18[PATCH] nfsd4: don't create on open that fails due to ERR_GRACEJ. Bruce Fields
In an earlier patch (commit b648330a1d741d5df8a5076b2a0a2519c69c8f41) I noted that a too-early grace-period check was preventing us from bumping the sequence id on open. Unfortunately in that patch I stupidly moved the grace-period check back too far, so now an open for create can succesfully create the file while still returning ERR_GRACE. The correct place for that check is after we've set the open_owner and handled any replays, but before we actually start mucking with the filesystem. Thanks to Avishay Traeger for reporting the bug.

2006-01-06[PATCH] knfsd: reduce stack consumptionNeil Brown
A typical nfsd call trace is nfsd -> svc_process -> nfsd_dispatch -> nfsd3_proc_write -> nfsd_write ->nfsd_vfs_write -> vfs_writev These add up to over 300 bytes on the stack. Looking at each of these, I see that nfsd_write (which includes nfsd_vfs_write) contributes 0x8c to stack usage itself!! It turns out this is because it puts a 'struct iattr' on the stack so it can kill suid if needed. The following patch saves about 50 bytes off the stack in this call path.

This patch cleans up most of the offences, which involves moving the call to vfs_getattr out of the xdr encoding routines (where it is too late to report an error) into the main NFS procedure handling routines. There is still a called to vfs_gettattr (related to the ACL code) where the status is ignored, and called to nfsd_sync_dir don't check return status either.

2005-09-07[PATCH] sunrpc: cache_register can use wrong module referenceBruce Allan
When registering an RPC cache, cache_register() always sets the owner as the sunrpc module. However, there are RPC caches owned by other modules. With the incorrect owner setting, the real owning module can be removed potentially with an open reference to the cache from userspace. For example, if one were to stop the nfs server and unmount the nfsd filesystem, the nfsd module could be removed eventhough rpc.idmapd had references to the idtoname and nametoid caches (i.e. /proc/net/rpc/nfs4.<cachename>/channel is still open). This resulted in a system panic on one of our machines when attempting to restart the nfs services after reloading the nfsd module. The following patch adds a 'struct module *owner' field in struct cache_detail. The owner is further assigned to the struct proc_dir_entry in cache_register() so that the module cannot be unloaded while user-space daemons have an open reference on the associated file under /proc.

2005-09-01[CRYPTO]: crypto_free_tfm() callers no longer need to check for NULLJesper Juhl
Since the patch to add a NULL short-circuit to crypto_free_tfm() went in, there's no longer any need for callers of that function to check for NULL. This patch removes the redundant NULL checks and also a few similar checks for NULL before calls to kfree() that I ran into while doing the crypto_free_tfm bits. I've succesfuly compile tested this patch, and a kernel with the patch applied boots and runs just fine. When I posted the patch to LKML (and other lists/people on Cc) it drew the following comments : J. Bruce Fields commented "I've no problem with the auth_gss or nfsv4 bits.--b."

2005-08-17[PATCH] nfsd to unlock kernel before exitingSteven Rostedt
The nfsd holds the big kernel lock upon exit, when it really shouldn't. Not to mention that this breaks Ingo's RT patch. This is a trivial fix to release the lock. Ingo, this patch also works with your kernel, and stops the problem with nfsd. Note, there's a "goto out;" where "out:" is right above svc_exit_thread. The point of the goto also holds the kernel_lock, so I don't see any problem here in releasing it.

2005-07-12[PATCH] inotifyRobert Love
inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly its inability to scale and its terrible user interface: * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount. * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of stat structures. * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals? inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change notification: * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO. You get a single fd, which is select()-able. * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item you were watching is on was unmounted." * inotify can watch directories or files. Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure), Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects. See Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.

2005-07-07[PATCH] nfsd4: fix fh_expire_typeNeilBrown
After discussion at the recent NFSv4 bake-a-thon, I realized that my assumption that NFS4_FH_PERSISTENT required filehandles to persist was a misreading of the spec. This also fixes an interoperability problem with the Solaris client. Signed-off-by: J.
