* nfs: add "NFS Client and Server Interlock" section to localio.rstMike Snitzer2024-09-231-0/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This section answers a new FAQ entry: 9. How does LOCALIO make certain that object lifetimes are managed properly given NFSD and NFS operate in different contexts? See the detailed "NFS Client and Server Interlock" section below. The first half of the section details NeilBrown's elegant design for LOCALIO's nfs_uuid_t based interlock and is heavily based on Neil's "net namespace refcounting" description here: https://marc.info/?l=linux-nfs&m=172498546024767&w=2 The second half of the section details the per-cpu-refcount introduced to ensure NFSD's nfsd_serv isn't destroyed while in use by a LOCALIO client.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This document gives an overview of the LOCALIO auxiliary RPC protocol added to the Linux NFS client and server to allow them to reliably handshake to determine if they are on the same host. Once an NFS client and server handshake as "local", the client will bypass the network RPC protocol for read, write and commit operations. Due to this XDR and RPC bypass, these operations will operate faster.

This also partially addresses (2) by generating f_fsid for simple filesystems as well as freevxfs. Remaining filesystems will be dealt with by separate patches.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reverts mostly commit 40595cdc93ed ("nfs: block notification on fs with its own ->lock") and introduces an EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK export flag to signal that the "own ->lock" implementation supports async lock requests. The only main user is DLM that is used by GFS2 and OCFS2 filesystem. Those implement their own lock() implementation and return FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED as return value. Since commit 40595cdc93ed ("nfs: block notification on fs with its own ->lock") the DLM implementation were never updated.

A write delegation enables a client to cache data and metadata for a single file more aggressively, reducing network round trips and server workload. Many thanks to Dai Ngo for contributing this facility, and to Jeff Layton and Neil Brown for reviewing and testing it. This release also sees the removal of all support for DES- and triple-DES-based Kerberos encryption types in the kernel's SunRPC implementation. These encryption types have been deprecated by the Internet community for years and are considered insecure. This change affects both the in-kernel NFS client and server. The server's UDP and TCP socket transports have now fully adopted David Howells' new bio_vec iterator so that no more than one sendmsg() call is needed to transmit each RPC message. In particular, this helps kTLS optimize record boundaries when sending RPC-with-TLS replies, and it takes the server a baby step closer to handling file I/O via folios. We've begun work on overhauling the SunRPC thread scheduler to remove a costly linked-list walk when looking for an idle RPC service thread to wake. The pre-requisites are included in this release.

Introduce a flag to explicitly request a file handle that may not to be decoded later and a wrapper exportfs_encode_fid() that sets this flag and convert show_mark_fhandle() to use the new wrapper.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To enable NFSv4 to work correctly, NFSv4 client identifiers have to be globally unique and persistent over client reboots. We believe that in many cases, a good default identifier can be chosen and set when a client system is imaged. Because there are many different ways a system can be imaged, provide an explanation of how NFSv4 client identifiers and principals can be set by install scripts and imaging tools. Additional cases, such as NFSv4 clients running in containers, also need unique and persistent identifiers. The Linux NFS community sets forth this explanation to aid those who create and manage container environments.

* nfsd: close cached files prior to a REMOVE or RENAME that would replace targetJeff Layton2020-12-091-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's not uncommon for some workloads to do a bunch of I/O to a file and delete it just afterward. If knfsd has a cached open file however, then the file may still be open when the dentry is unlinked. If the underlying filesystem is nfs, then that could trigger it to do a sillyrename. On a REMOVE or RENAME scan the nfsd_file cache for open files that correspond to the inode, and proactively unhash and put their references. This should prevent any delete-on-last-close activity from occurring, solely due to knfsd's open file cache. This must be done synchronously though so we use the variants that call flush_delayed_fput. There are deadlock possibilities if you call flush_delayed_fput while holding locks, however. In the case of nfsd_rename, we don't even do the lookups of the dentries to be renamed until we've locked for rename. Once we've figured out what the target dentry is for a rename, check to see whether there are cached open files associated with it. If there are, then unwind all of the locking, close them all, and then reattempt the rename. None of this is really necessary for "typical" filesystems though. It's mostly of use for NFS, so declare a new export op flag and use that to determine whether to close the files beforehand.

* nfsd: allow filesystems to opt out of subtree checkingJeff Layton2020-12-091-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we start allowing NFS to be reexported, then we have some problems when it comes to subtree checking. In principle, we could allow it, but it would mean encoding parent info in the filehandles and there may not be enough space for that in a NFSv3 filehandle. To enforce this at export upcall time, we add a new export_ops flag that declares the filesystem ineligible for subtree checking.

* nfsd: add a new EXPORT_OP_NOWCC flag to struct export_operationsJeff Layton2020-12-091-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With NFSv3 nfsd will always attempt to send along WCC data to the client. This generally involves saving off the in-core inode information prior to doing the operation on the given filehandle, and then issuing a vfs_getattr to it after the op. Some filesystems (particularly clustered or networked ones) have an expensive ->getattr inode operation. Atomicity is also often difficult or impossible to guarantee on such filesystems. For those, we're best off not trying to provide WCC information to the client at all, and to simply allow it to poll for that information as needed with a GETATTR RPC. This patch adds a new flags field to struct export_operations, and defines a new EXPORT_OP_NOWCC flag that filesystems can use to indicate that nfsd should not attempt to provide WCC info in NFSv3 replies. It also adds a blurb about the new flags field and flag to the exporting documentation. The server will also now skip collecting this information for NFSv2 as well, since that info is never used there anyway. Note that this patch does not add this flag to any filesystem export_operations structures. This was originally developed to allow reexporting nfs via nfsd. Other filesystems may want to consider enabling this flag too. It's hard to tell however which ones have export operations to enable export via knfsd and which ones mostly rely on them for open-by-filehandle support, so I'm leaving that up to the individual maintainers to decide. I am cc'ing the relevant lists for those filesystems that I think may want to consider adding this though.

* | Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/Henrik Austad2018-09-091-26/+0

Not sure what would be the correct way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox. The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers) A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps it is time to just throw them out. A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX. List of outdated 00-INDEX: Documentation: (4/10) Documentation/sysctl: (0/1) Documentation/timers: (1/0) Documentation/blockdev: (3/1) Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1) Documentation/locking: (0/1) Documentation/devicetree: (0/5) Documentation/power: (1/1) Documentation/powerpc: (0/5) Documentation/arm: (1/0) Documentation/x86: (0/9) Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1) Documentation/scsi: (4/4) Documentation/filesystems: (2/9) Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2) Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2) Documentation/kbuild: (0/4) Documentation/spi: (1/0) Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0) Documentation/scheduler: (0/2) Documentation/fb: (0/1) Documentation/block: (0/1) Documentation/networking: (6/37) Documentation/vm: (1/3) Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no 00-INDEX). I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX, but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not if we just want to delete them anyway. As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and see where the discussion is going. Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad <henrik@austad.us> Acked-by: "Paul E.

* ipconfig: Write NTP server IPs to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_serversChris Novakovic2018-04-241-6/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Distributed filesystems are most effective when the server and client clocks are synchronised. Embedded devices often use NFS for their root filesystem but typically do not contain an RTC, so the clocks of the NFS server and the embedded device will be out-of-sync when the root filesystem is mounted (and may not be synchronised until late in the boot process). Extend ipconfig with the ability to export IP addresses of NTP servers it discovers to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers. They can be supplied as follows: - If ipconfig is configured manually via the "ip=" or "nfsaddrs=" kernel command line parameters, one NTP server can be specified in the new "<ntp0-ip>" parameter. - If ipconfig is autoconfigured via DHCP, request DHCP option 42 in the DHCPDISCOVER message, and record the IP addresses of up to three NTP servers sent by the responding DHCP server in the subsequent DHCPOFFER message. ipconfig will only write the NTP server IP addresses it discovers to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers, one per line (in the order received from the DHCP server, if DHCP autoconfiguration is used); making use of these NTP servers is the responsibility of a user space process (e.g. an initrd/initram script that invokes an NTP client before mounting an NFS root filesystem).

* VFS: don't keep disconnected dentries on d_anonNeilBrown2017-12-251-8/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original purpose of the per-superblock d_anon list was to keep disconnected dentries in the cache between consecutive requests to the NFS server. Dentries can be disconnected if a client holds a file open and repeatedly performs IO on it, and if the server drops the dentry, whether due to memory pressure, server restart, or "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches". This purpose was thwarted by commit 75a6f82a0d10 ("freeing unlinked file indefinitely delayed") which caused disconnected dentries to be freed as soon as their refcount reached zero. This means that, when a dentry being used by nfsd gets disconnected, a new one needs to be allocated for every request (unless requests overlap). As the dentry has no name, no parent, and no children, there is little of value to cache. As small memory allocations are typically fast (from per-cpu free lists) this likely has little cost. This means that the original purpose of s_anon is no longer relevant: there is no longer any need to keep disconnected dentries on a list so they appear to be hashed. However, s_anon now has a new use. When you mount an NFS filesystem, the dentry stored in s_root is just a placebo. The "real" root dentry is allocated using d_obtain_root() and so it kept on the s_anon list. I don't know the reason for this, but suspect it related to NFSv4 where a mount of "server:/some/path" require NFS to look up the root filehandle on the server, then walk down "/some" and "/path" to get the filehandle to mount. Whatever the reason, NFS depends on the s_anon list and on shrink_dcache_for_umount() pruning all dentries on this list. So we cannot simply remove s_anon. We could just leave the code unchanged, but apart from that being potentially confusing, the (unfair) bit-spin-lock which protects s_anon can become a bottle neck when lots of disconnected dentries are being created. So this patch renames s_anon to s_roots, and stops storing disconnected dentries on the list. Only dentries obtained with d_obtain_root() are now stored on this list. There are many fewer of these (only NFS and NILFS2 use the call, and only during filesystem mount) so contention on the bit-lock will not be a problem. Possibly an alternate solution should be found for NFS and NILFS2, but that would require understanding their needs first.
