pNFS/flexfiles: don't attempt pnfs on fatal DS errors

2025-07-22T12:10:17+00:00

When an applications get killed (SIGTERM/SIGINT) while pNFS client performs a connection
to DS, client ends in an infinite loop of connect-disconnect. This
source of the issue, it that flexfilelayoutdev#nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds gets an error
on nfs4_pnfs_ds_connect with status ERESTARTSYS, which is set by rpc_signal_task, but
the error is treated as transient, thus retried.

The issue is reproducible with Ctrl+C the following script(there should be ~1000 files in
a directory, client should must not have any connections to DSes):

```
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

for i in *
do
   head -1 $i
done
```

The change aims to propagate the nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds error state
to the caller that can decide whatever this is a retryable error or not.

NFS: always probe for LOCALIO support asynchronously

2025-05-28T21:17:13+00:00

It was reported that NFS client mounts of AWS Elastic File System
(EFS) volumes is slow, this is because the AWS firewall disallows
LOCALIO (because it doesn't consider the use of NFS_LOCALIO_PROGRAM
valid), see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2335129

Switch to performing the LOCALIO probe asynchronously to address the
potential for the NFS LOCALIO protocol being disallowed and/or slowed
by the remote server's response.

While at it, fix nfs_local_probe_async() to always take/put a
reference on the nfs_client that is using the LOCALIO protocol.
Also, unexport the nfs_local_probe() symbol and make it private to
fs/nfs/localio.c

This change has the side-effect of initially issuing reads, writes and
commits over the wire via SUNRPC until the LOCALIO probe completes.

nfs: don't share pNFS DS connections between net namespaces

2025-04-28T03:25:44+00:00

Currently, different NFS clients can share the same DS connections, even
when they are in different net namespaces. If a containerized client
creates a DS connection, another container can find and use it. When the
first client exits, the connection will close which can lead to stalls
in other clients.

Add a net namespace pointer to struct nfs4_pnfs_ds, and compare those
value to the caller's netns in _data_server_lookup_locked() when
searching for a nfs4_pnfs_ds to match.

NFS: Allow setting rsize / wsize to a multiple of PAGE_SIZE

2022-07-12T14:53:10+00:00

Previously, we required this to value to be a power of 2 for UDP related
reasons. This patch keeps the power of 2 rule for UDP but allows more
flexibility for TCP and RDMA.

pnfs/flexfiles: Fix misplaced barrier in nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds

2021-10-04T03:00:50+00:00

_nfs4_pnfs_v3/v4_ds_connect do
   some work
   smp_wmb
   ds->ds_clp = clp;

And nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds currently does
   smp_rmb
   if(ds->ds_clp)
      ...

This patch places the smp_rmb after the if. This ensures that following
reads only happen once nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds has checked that data
has been properly initialized.
