NFSv4.1: layoutcommit

2011-03-23T19:29:04+00:00

The filelayout driver sends LAYOUTCOMMIT only when COMMIT goes to
the data server (as opposed to the MDS) and the data server WRITE
is not NFS_FILE_SYNC.

Only whole file layout support means that there is only one IOMODE_RW layout
segment.

NFSv4.1: filelayout driver specific code for COMMIT

2011-03-23T19:29:04+00:00

Implement all the hooks created in the previous patches.
This requires exporting quite a few functions and adding a few
structure fields.

NFSv4.1: add generic layer hooks for pnfs COMMIT

2011-03-23T19:29:03+00:00

We create three major hooks for the pnfs code.

pnfs_mark_request_commit() is called during writeback_done from
nfs_mark_request_commit, which gives the driver an opportunity to
claim it wants control over commiting a particular req.

pnfs_choose_commit_list() is called from nfs_scan_list
to choose which list a given req should be added to, based on
where we intend to send it for COMMIT.  It is up to the driver
to have preallocated list headers for each destination it may need.

pnfs_commit_list() is how the driver actually takes control, it is
used instead of nfs_commit_list().

In order to pass information between the above functions, we create
a union in nfs_page to hold a lseg (which is possible because the req is
not on any list while in transition), and add some flags to indicate
if we need to use the pnfs code.

NFS: Detect loops in a readdir due to bad cookies

2011-03-23T19:14:27+00:00

Some filesystems (such as ext4) can return the same cookie value for
multiple files.  If we try to start a readdir with one of these cookies,
the server will return the first file found with a cookie of the same
value.  This can cause the client to enter an infinite loop.

NFS: Create nfs_open_dir_context

2011-03-23T19:13:11+00:00

nfs_opendir() created a context that held much more information than we
need for a readdir.  This patch introduces a slimmed-down
nfs_open_dir_context that contains only the cookie and the cred used for
RPC operations.  The new context will eventually be used to help detect
readdir loops.

FS: Use stable writes when not doing a bulk flush

2011-03-22T01:08:17+00:00

If we're only doing a single write, and there are no other unstable
writes being queued up, we might want to just flip to using a stable
write RPC call.

NFS: Use d_automount() rather than abusing follow_link()

Make NFS use the new d_automount() dentry operation rather than abusing
follow_link() on directories.

NFS: Fix a memory leak in nfs_readdir

2010-12-02T14:58:00+00:00

We need to ensure that the entries in the nfs_cache_array get cleared
when the page is removed from the page cache. To do so, we use the
freepage address_space operation.

Change nfs_readdir_clear_array to use kmap_atomic(), so that the
function can be safely called from all contexts.

Finally, modify the cache_page_release helper to call
nfs_readdir_clear_array directly, when dealing with an anonymous
page from 'uncached_readdir'.
