<title>svcrdma: Select NFSv4.1 backchannel transport based on forward channel</title>

<id>c7650a012929bc8e1393423e7bb29a4a6a808f12</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3c45ddf823d679a820adddd53b52c6699c9a05ac upstream.

The current code always selects XPRT_TRANSPORT_BC_TCP for the back
channel, even when the forward channel was not TCP (eg, RDMA). When
a 4.1 mount is attempted with RDMA, the server panics in the TCP BC
code when trying to send CB_NULL.

Instead, construct the transport protocol number from the forward
channel transport or'd with XPRT_TRANSPORT_BC. Transports that do
not support bi-directional RPC will not have registered a "BC"
transport, causing create_backchannel_client() to fail immediately.

<title>NFSv4: test SECINFO RPC_AUTH_GSS pseudoflavors for support</title>

Fix nfs4_negotiate_security to create an rpc_clnt used to test each SECINFO
returned pseudoflavor. Check credential creation  (and gss_context creation)
which is important for RPC_AUTH_GSS pseudoflavors which can fail for multiple
reasons including mis-configuration.

Don't call nfs4_negotiate in nfs4_submount as it was just called by
nfs4_proc_lookup_mountpoint (nfs4_proc_lookup_common)

In skb_checksum complete, if we need to compute the checksum for the
packet (via skb_checksum) save the result as CHECKSUM_COMPLETE.
Subsequent checksum verification can use this.

Also, added csum_complete_sw flag to distinguish between software and
hardware generated checksum complete, we should always be able to trust
the software computation.

The rpc code makes available to the NFS server an array of pages to
encod into.  The server represents its reply as an xdr buf, with the
head pointing into the first page in that array, the pages ** array
starting just after that, and the tail (if any) sharing any leftover
space in the page used by the head.

While encoding, we use xdr_stream-&gt;page_ptr to keep track of which page
we're currently using.

Currently we set xdr_stream-&gt;page_ptr to buf-&gt;pages, which makes the
head a weird exception to the rule that page_ptr always points to the
page we're currently encoding into.  So, instead set it to buf-&gt;pages -
1 (the page actually containing the head), and remove the need for a
little unintuitive logic in xdr_get_next_encode_buffer() and
xdr_truncate_encode.

If rpcrdma_register_external() fails during request marshaling, the
current RPC request is killed. Instead, this RPC should be retried
after reconnecting the transport instance.

The most likely reason for registration failure with FRMR is a
failed post_send, which would be due to a remote transport
disconnect or memory exhaustion. These issues can be recovered
by a retry.

Problems encountered in the marshaling logic itself will not be
corrected by trying again, so these should still kill a request.

Now that we've added a clean exit for marshaling errors, take the
opportunity to defang some BUG_ON's.
