<id>38074de35b015df5623f524d6f2b49a0cd395c40</id>
<content type='text'>
Allow the flexfiles error handling to recognise NFS level errors (as
opposed to RPC level errors) and handle them separately. The main
motivator is the NFSERR_PERM errors that get returned if the NFS client
connects to the data server through a port number that is lower than
1024. In that case, the client should disconnect and retry a READ on a
different data server, or it should retry a WRITE after reconnecting.

<title>NFSv4/pNFS: Fix a race to wake on NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN</title>

We found a few different systems hung up in writeback waiting on the same
page lock, and one task waiting on the NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN bit in
pnfs_update_layout(), however the pnfs_layout_hdr's plh_outstanding count
was zero.

It seems most likely that this is another race between the waiter and waker
similar to commit ed0172af5d6f ("SUNRPC: Fix a race to wake a sync task").
Fix it up by applying the advised barrier.

<title>nfs: Clean up /proc/net/rpc/nfs when nfs_fs_proc_net_init() fails.</title>

syzbot reported a warning below [1] following a fault injection in
nfs_fs_proc_net_init(). [0]

When nfs_fs_proc_net_init() fails, /proc/net/rpc/nfs is not removed.

Later, rpc_proc_exit() tries to remove /proc/net/rpc, and the warning
is logged as the directory is not empty.

Let's handle the error of nfs_fs_proc_net_init() properly.

Pull NFS clent updates from Anna Schumaker:
 "New Features:

   - Implement the Sunrpc rfc2203 rpcsec_gss sequence number cache

   - Add support for FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE on NFS v4.2

   - Add a localio sysfs attribute

  Stable Fixes:

   - Fix double-unlock bug in nfs_return_empty_folio()

   - Don't check for OPEN feature support in v4.1

   - Always probe for LOCALIO support asynchronously

   - Prevent hang on NFS mounts with xprtsec=[m]tls

  Other Bugfixes:

   - xattr handlers should check for absent nfs filehandles

   - Fix setattr caching of TIME_[MODIFY|ACCESS]_SET when timestamps are
     delegated

   - Fix listxattr to return selinux security labels

   - Connect to NFSv3 DS using TLS if MDS connection uses TLS

 "Automount wart removal

  A bunch of odd boilerplate gone from instances - the reason for
  those was the need to protect the yet-to-be-attched mount from
  mark_mounts_for_expiry() deciding to take it out.

  But that's easy to detect and take care of in mark_mounts_for_expiry()
  itself; no need to have every instance simulate mount being busy by
  grabbing an extra reference to it, with finish_automount() undoing
  that once it attaches that mount.

  Should've done it that way from the very beginning... This is a
  flagday change, thankfully there are very few instances.

  vfs_submount() is gone - its sole remaining user (trace_automount)

<title>nfs_localio: change nfsd_file_put_local() to take a pointer to __rcu pointer</title>

Instead of calling xchg() and unrcu_pointer() before
nfsd_file_put_local(), we now pass pointer to the __rcu pointer and call
xchg() and unrcu_pointer() inside that function.

Where unrcu_pointer() is currently called the internals of "struct
nfsd_file" are not known and that causes older compilers such as gcc-8
to complain.

In some cases we have a __kernel (aka normal) pointer not an __rcu
pointer so we need to cast it to __rcu first.  This is strictly a
weakening so no information is lost.  Somewhat surprisingly, this cast
is accepted by gcc-8.

This has the pleasing result that the cmpxchg() which sets ro_file and
rw_file, and also the xchg() which clears them, are both now in the nfsd
code.

<title>nfs_localio: simplify interface to nfsd for getting nfsd_file</title>

<id>e6f7e1487ab528a6c653bd0d42812ff2942846cd</id>
<content type='text'>
The nfsd_localio_operations structure contains nfsd_file_get() to get a
reference to an nfsd_file.  This is only used in one place, where
nfsd_open_local_fh() is also used.

This patch combines the two, calling nfsd_open_local_fh() passing a
pointer to where the nfsd_file pointer might be stored.  If there is a
pointer there an nfsd_file_get() can get a reference, that reference is
returned.  If not a new nfsd_file is acquired, stored at the pointer,
and returned.  When we store a reference we also increase the refcount
on the net, as that refcount is decrements when we clear the stored
pointer.

We now get an extra reference *before* storing the new nfsd_file at the
given location.  This avoids possible races with the nfsd_file being
freed before the final reference can be taken.

This patch moves the rcu_dereference() needed after fetching from
ro_file or rw_file into the nfsd code where the 'struct nfs_file' is
fully defined.  This avoids an error reported by older versions of gcc
such as gcc-8 which complain about rcu_dereference() use in contexts
where the structure (which will supposedly be accessed) is not fully
defined.

<title>nfs_localio: always hold nfsd net ref with nfsd_file ref</title>

<content type='text'>
Having separate nfsd_file_put and nfsd_file_put_local in struct
nfsd_localio_operations doesn't make much sense.  The difference is that
nfsd_file_put doesn't drop a reference to the nfs_net which is what
keeps nfsd from shutting down.

Currently, if nfsd tries to shutdown it will invalidate the files stored
in the list from the nfs_uuid and this will drop all references to the
nfsd net that the client holds.  But the client could still hold some
references to nfsd_files for active IO.  So nfsd might think is has
completely shut down local IO, but hasn't and has no way to wait for
those active IO requests to complete.

So this patch changes nfsd_file_get to nfsd_file_get_local and has it
increase the ref count on the nfsd net and it replaces all calls to
-&gt;nfsd_put_file to -&gt;nfsd_put_file_local.

It also changes -&gt;nfsd_open_local_fh to return with the refcount on the
net elevated precisely when a valid nfsd_file is returned.

This means that whenever the client holds a valid nfsd_file, there will
be an associated count on the nfsd net, and so the count can only reach
zero when all nfsd_files have been returned.

nfs_local_file_put() is changed to call nfs_to_nfsd_file_put_local()
instead of replacing calls to one with calls to the other because this
will help a later patch which changes nfs_to_nfsd_file_put_local() to
take an __rcu pointer while nfs_local_file_put() doesn't.
