nfsd: eliminate sending duplicate and repeated delegations

2015-12-15T05:41:08+00:00

commit 34ed9872e745fa56f10e9bef2cf3d2336c6c8816 upstream.

We've observed the nfsd server in a state where there are
multiple delegations on the same nfs4_file for the same client.
The nfs client does attempt to DELEGRETURN these when they are presented to
it - but apparently under some (unknown) circumstances the client does not
manage to return all of them. This leads to the eventual
attempt to CB_RECALL more than one delegation with the same nfs
filehandle to the same client. The first recall will succeed, but the
next recall will fail with NFS4ERR_BADHANDLE. This leads to the server
having delegations on cl_revoked that the client has no way to FREE
or DELEGRETURN, with resulting inability to recover. The state manager
on the server will continually assert SEQ4_STATUS_RECALLABLE_STATE_REVOKED,
and the state manager on the client will be looping unable to satisfy
the server.

List discussion also reports a race between OPEN and DELEGRETURN that
will be avoided by only sending the delegation once to the
client. This is also logically in accordance with RFC5561 9.1.1 and 10.2.

So, let's:

1.) Not hand out duplicate delegations.
2.) Only send them to the client once.

RFC 5561:

9.1.1:
"Delegations and layouts, on the other hand, are not associated with a
specific owner but are associated with the client as a whole
(identified by a client ID)."

10.2:
"...the stateid for a delegation is associated with a client ID and may be
used on behalf of all the open-owners for the given client.  A
delegation is made to the client as a whole and not to any specific
process or thread of control within it."

nfsd: serialize state seqid morphing operations

2015-12-15T05:41:07+00:00

commit 35a92fe8770ce54c5eb275cd76128645bea2d200 upstream.

Andrew was seeing a race occur when an OPEN and OPEN_DOWNGRADE were
running in parallel. The server would receive the OPEN_DOWNGRADE first
and check its seqid, but then an OPEN would race in and bump it. The
OPEN_DOWNGRADE would then complete and bump the seqid again.  The result
was that the OPEN_DOWNGRADE would be applied after the OPEN, even though
it should have been rejected since the seqid changed.

The only recourse we have here I think is to serialize operations that
bump the seqid in a stateid, particularly when we're given a seqid in
the call. To address this, we add a new rw_semaphore to the
nfs4_ol_stateid struct. We do a down_write prior to checking the seqid
after looking up the stateid to ensure that nothing else is going to
bump it while we're operating on it.

In the case of OPEN, we do a down_read, as the call doesn't contain a
seqid. Those can run in parallel -- we just need to serialize them when
there is a concurrent OPEN_DOWNGRADE or CLOSE.

LOCK and LOCKU however always take the write lock as there is no
opportunity for parallelizing those.

nfsd/blocklayout: accept any minlength

2015-10-09T20:11:40+00:00

Recent Linux clients have started to send GETLAYOUT requests with
minlength less than blocksize.

Servers aren't really allowed to impose this kind of restriction on
layouts; see RFC 5661 section 18.43.3 for details.

This has been observed to cause indefinite hangs on fsx runs on some
clients.

nfsd: deal with DELEGRETURN racing with CB_RECALL

2015-09-02T14:05:28+00:00

We have observed the server sending recalls for delegation stateids
that have already been successfully returned. Change
nfsd4_cb_recall_done() to return success if the client has returned
the delegation. While this does not completely eliminate the sending
of recalls for delegations that have already been returned, this
does prevent unnecessarily declaring the callback path to be down.

nfsd: return CLID_INUSE for unexpected SETCLIENTID_CONFIRM case

2015-09-01T17:53:40+00:00

Somebody with a Solaris client was hitting this case.  We haven't
figured out why yet, and don't have a reproducer.  Meanwhile Frank
noticed that RFC 7530 actually recommends CLID_INUSE for this case.
Unlikely to help the original reporter, but may as well fix it.

nfsd: ensure that delegation stateid hash references are only put once

2015-08-31T20:32:16+00:00

It's possible that a DELEGRETURN could race with (e.g.) client expiry,
in which case we could end up putting the delegation hash reference more
than once.

Have unhash_delegation_locked return a bool that indicates whether it
was already unhashed. In the case of destroy_delegation we only
conditionally put the hash reference if that returns true.

The other callers of unhash_delegation_locked call it while walking
list_heads that shouldn't yet be detached. If we find that it doesn't
return true in those cases, then throw a WARN_ON as that indicates that
we have a partially hashed delegation, and that something is likely very
wrong.

nfsd: ensure that the ol stateid hash reference is only put once

2015-08-31T20:32:15+00:00

When an open or lock stateid is hashed, we take an extra reference to
it. When we unhash it, we drop that reference. The code however does
not properly account for the case where we have two callers concurrently
trying to unhash the stateid. This can lead to list corruption and the
hash reference being put more than once.

Fix this by having unhash_ol_stateid use list_del_init on the st_perfile
list_head, and then testing to see if that list_head is empty before
releasing the hash reference. This means that some of the unhashing
wrappers now become bool return functions so we can test to see whether
the stateid was unhashed before we put the reference.

nfsd: allow more than one laundry job to run at a time

2015-08-31T20:32:14+00:00

We can potentially have several nfs4_laundromat jobs running if there
are multiple namespaces running nfsd on the box. Those are effectively
separated from one another though, so I don't see any reason to
serialize them.

Also, create_singlethread_workqueue automatically adds the
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag. Since we run this job on a timer, it's not really
involved in any reclaim paths. I see no need for a rescuer thread.

nfsd: don't WARN/backtrace for invalid container deployment.

2015-08-31T20:32:08+00:00

These messages, combined with the backtrace they trigger, makes it seem
like a serious problem, though a quick search shows distros marking
it as a "won't fix" non-issue when the problem is reported by users.

The backtrace is overkill, and only really manages to show that if
you follow the code path, you can't really avoid it with bootargs
or configuration settings in the container.

Given that, lets tone it down a bit and get rid of the WARN severity,
and the associated backtrace, so people aren't needlessly alarmed.

Also, lets drop the split printk line, since they are grep unfriendly.
