The old nfsdfs interface for starting a server with multiple pools
handles the special case of a single entry array passed down from
userland by distributing the threads over every NUMA node.

The netlink control interface however constructs an array of length
nfsd_nrpools() and fills any unprovided slots with 0's. This behavior
defeats the special casing that the old interface relies on.

Change nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit() to pass down the array from userland
as-is.

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.

<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>

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.

 "The marquee feature for this release is that the limit on the maximum
  rsize and wsize has been raised to 4MB. The default remains at 1MB,
  but risk-seeking administrators now have the ability to try larger I/O
  sizes with NFS clients that support them. Eventually the default
  setting will be increased when we have confidence that this change
  will not have negative impact.

  With v6.16, NFSD now has its own debugfs file system where we can add
  experimental features and make them available outside of our
  development community without impacting production deployments. The
  first experimental setting added is one that makes all NFS READ
  operations use vfs_iter_read() instead of the NFSD splice actor. The
  plan is to eventually retire the splice actor, as that will enable a
  number of new capabilities such as the use of struct bio_vec from the
  top to the bottom of the NFSD stack.

  Jeff Layton contributed a number of observability improvements. The
  use of dprintk() in a number of high-traffic code paths has been
  replaced with static trace points.

  This release sees the continuation of efforts to harden the NFSv4.2
  COPY operation. Soon, the restriction on async COPY operations can be
  lifted.

  Many thanks to the contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug reporters
  who participated during the v6.16 development cycle"

Pull vfs directory lookup updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains cleanups for the lookup_one*() family of helpers.

  We expose a set of functions with names containing "lookup_one_len"
  and others without the "_len". This difference has nothing to do with
  "len". It's rater a historical accident that can be confusing.

  The functions without "_len" take a "mnt_idmap" pointer. This is found
  in the "vfsmount" and that is an important question when choosing
  which to use: do you have a vfsmount, or are you "inside" the
  filesystem. A related question is "is permission checking relevant
  here?".

  nfsd and cachefiles *do* have a vfsmount but *don't* use the non-_len
  functions. They pass nop_mnt_idmap and refuse to work on filesystems
  which have any other idmap.

  This work changes nfsd and cachefile to use the lookup_one family of
  functions and to explictily pass &amp;nop_mnt_idmap which is consistent
  with all other vfs interfaces used where &amp;nop_mnt_idmap is explicitly
  passed.

  The remaining uses of the "_one" functions do not require permission
  checks so these are renamed to be "_noperm" and the permission
  checking is removed.

  This series also changes these lookup function to take a qstr instead
  of separate name and len. In many cases this simplifies the call"

We'd like to increase the maximum r/wsize that NFSD can support,
but without introducing possible regressions. So let's add a
default setting of 1MB. A subsequent patch will raise the
maximum value but leave the default alone.

No behavior change is expected.
