nfs: skip commit in releasepage if we're freeing memory for fs-related reasons

2012-08-09T15:31:40+00:00

commit 5cf02d09b50b1ee1c2d536c9cf64af5a7d433f56 upstream.

We've had some reports of a deadlock where rpciod ends up with a stack
trace like this:

rpciod is trying to allocate memory for a new socket to talk to the
server. The VM ends up calling ->releasepage to get more memory, and it
tries to do a blocking commit. That commit can't succeed however without
a connected socket, so we deadlock.

Fix this by setting PF_FSTRANS on the workqueue task prior to doing the
socket allocation, and having nfs_release_page check for that flag when
deciding whether to do a commit call. Also, set PF_FSTRANS
unconditionally in rpc_async_schedule since that function can also do
allocations sometimes.

SUNRPC: move per-net operations from svc_destroy()

2012-07-16T16:04:39+00:00

upstream commit 786185b5f8abefa6a8a16695bb4a59c164d5a071.

The idea is to separate service destruction and per-net operations,
because these are two different things and the mix looks ugly.

Notes:

1) For NFS server this patch looks ugly (sorry for that). But these
place will be rewritten soon during NFSd containerization.

2) LockD per-net counter increase int lockd_up() was moved prior to
make_socks() to make lockd_down_net() call safe in case of error.

SUNRPC: new svc_bind() routine introduced

2012-07-16T16:04:39+00:00

upstream commit 9793f7c88937e7ac07305ab1af1a519225836823.

This new routine is responsible for service registration in a specified
network context.

The idea is to separate service creation from per-net operations.

Note also: since registering service with svc_bind() can fail, the
service will be destroyed and during destruction it will try to
unregister itself from rpcbind. In this case unregistration has to be
skipped.

rpc_pipefs: allow rpc_purge_list to take a NULL waitq pointer

2012-06-22T18:36:55+00:00

commit 92123e068efa310b09e9943ac1cfd10ff6b6d2e4 upstream.

In the event that we don't have a dentry for a rpc_pipefs pipe, we still
need to allow the queue_timeout job to clean out the queue. There's just
no waitq to wake up in that event.

NFSv4.1: Fix a request leak on the back channel

2012-06-22T18:36:54+00:00

commit b3b02ae5865c2dcd506322e0fc6def59a042e72f upstream.

If the call to svc_process_common() fails, then the request
needs to be freed before we can exit bc_svc_process.

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

2012-06-09T15:36:09+00:00

commit 1afeaf5c29aa07db25760d2fbed5c08a3aec3498 upstream.

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.

auth_gss: the list of pseudoflavors not being parsed correctly

2012-05-03T16:35:33+00:00

gss_mech_list_pseudoflavors() parses a list of registered mechanisms.
On that list contains a list of pseudo flavors which was not being
parsed correctly, causing only the first pseudo flavor to be found.

SUNRPC: RPC client must use the current utsname hostname string

2012-04-30T15:58:51+00:00

Now that the rpc client is namespace aware, it needs to use the
utsname of the process that created it instead of using the
init_utsname. Both rpc_new_client and rpc_clone_client need to
be fixed.

SUNRPC: traverse clients tree on PipeFS event

2012-04-27T18:10:00+00:00

v2: recursion was replaced by loop

If client is a clone, then it's parent can not be in the list.
But parent's Pipefs dentries have to be created and destroyed.

Note: event skip helper for clients introduced

SUNRPC: set per-net PipeFS superblock before notification

2012-04-27T18:10:00+00:00

There can be a case, when on MOUNT event RPC client (after it's dentries were
created) is not longer hold by anyone except notification callback.
I.e. on release this client will be destoroyed. And it's dentries have to be
destroyed as well. Which in turn requires per-net PipeFS superblock to be set.
