* 9p: fix oops in protocol stat parsing error path.Eric Van Hensbergen2008-10-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | When we get an error on parsing a stat due to a protocol bug, we can generate an oops during cleanup because we didn't initialize the string pointers in the stat structure. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
* 9p: fix device file handlingMagnus Deininger2008-10-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In v9fs_get_inode(), for block, as well as char devices (in theory), the function init_special_inode() is called to set up callback functions for file ops. this function uses the file mode's value to determine whether to use block or char dev functions. In v9fs_inode_from_fid(), the function p9mode2unixmode() is used, but for all devices it initially returns S_IFBLK, then uses v9fs_get_inode() to initialise a new inode, then finally uses v9fs_stat2inode(), which would determine whether the inode is a block or character device. However, at that point init_special_inode() had already decided to use the block device functions, so even if the inode's mode is turned to a character device, the block functions are still used to operate on them. The attached patch simply calls init_special_inode() again for devices after parsing device node data in v9fs_stat2inode() so that the proper functions are used.

* 9p: Improve debug supportEric Van Hensbergen2008-10-173-29/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The new debug support lacks some of the information that the previous fcprint code provided -- this patch focuses on better presentation of debug data along with more helpful debug along error paths. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
* 9p: eliminate depricated conv functionsEric Van Hensbergen2008-10-176-1160/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove depricated conv functions which have been replaced with new protocol routines. This patch also reworks the one instance of the file-system code which directly calls conversion routines (to accomplish unpacking dirreads). Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

* 9p: remove 9p fcall debug printsEric Van Hensbergen2008-10-175-386/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the current debug options allows users to get a verbose dump of fcalls. This isn't really necessary as correctly parsed protocol frames can be printed as part of the code in the client functions. The consolidated printfcalls structure would require new entries to be added for every extension. This patch removes the debug print methods and their use.

* 9p: add new protocol support codeEric Van Hensbergen2008-10-174-1/+496
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new protocol processing support code based on Anthony Liguori's 9p library code. This code performs protocol marshalling/unmarshalling using printf like strings to represent protocol elements. It is my intent to use them to replace the current functions in conv.c as well as the p9_create_* functions. This should make the client implementation much more clear, and also make it much easier to add new protocol extensions by limiting the number of places in which changes need to be made.

* 9p: encapsulate version functionEric Van Hensbergen2008-10-171-30/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Alsmot all 9P client wire functions have their own (set of) functions. Tversion is an exception as its encapsulated into the client_create code. This patch moves the protocol specifics of this to a function to match the rest of the code. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
* 9p: move dirread to fs layerEric Van Hensbergen2008-10-173-124/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently reading a directory is implemented in the client code. This function is not actually a wire operation, but a meta operation which calls read operations and processes the results. This patch moves this functionality to the fs layer and calls component wire operations instead of constructing their packets. This provides a cleaner separation and will help when we reorganize the client functions and protocol processing methods. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
* 9p: adjust 9p vfs write operationEric Van Hensbergen2008-10-171-7/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the 9p net wire operation ensures that all data is sent by sending multiple packets if the data requested is larger than the msize. This is better handled in the vfs code so that we can simplify wire operations to being concerned with only putting data onto and taking data off of the wire.

* 9p: move readn meta-function from client to fs layerEric Van Hensbergen2008-10-176-36/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a couple of methods in the client code which aren't actually wire operations. To keep things organized cleaner, these operations are being moved to the fs layer. This patch moves the readn meta-function (which executes multiple wire reads until a buffer is full) to the fs layer. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
* 9p: consolidate read/write functionsEric Van Hensbergen2008-10-173-130/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently there are two separate versions of read and write. One for dealing with user buffers and the other for dealing with kernel buffers. There is a tremendous amount of code duplication in the otherwise identical versions of these functions. This patch adds an additional user buffer parameter to read and write and conditionalizes handling of the buffer on whether the kernel buffer or the user buffer is populated.

* 9p: drop broken unused error path from p9_conn_create()Tejun Heo2008-10-171-16/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Post p9_fd_poll() error path which checks m->poll_waddr[i] for PTR_ERR value has the following problems. * It's completely unused. Error value is set iff NULL @wait_address has been specified to p9_pollwait() which is guaranteed not to happen. * It dereferences @m after deallocating it (introduced by 571ffeaf and spotted by Raja R Harinath. * It returned the wrong value on error. It should return poll_waddr[i] but it returnes poll_waddr (introduced by 571ffeaf). * p9_mux_poll_stop() doesn't handle PTR_ERR value. It will try to operate on the PTR_ERR value as if it's a normal pointer and cause oops. As the error path is bogus in the first place, there's no reason to hold onto it. Kill it.

* 9p: make rpc code common and rework flush codeEric Van Hensbergen2008-10-175-313/+316
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This code moves the rpc function to the common client base, reorganizes the flush code to be more simple and stable, and makes the necessary adjustments to the underlying transports to adapt to the new structure. This reduces the overall amount of code duplication between the transports and should make adding new transports more straightforward. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

* 9p: eliminate callback complexityEric Van Hensbergen2008-10-171-83/+66

* 9p-trans_fd: use single pollerTejun Heo2008-10-171-166/+86
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | trans_fd used pool of upto 100 pollers to monitor the r/w fds. The approach makes sense in userspace back when the only available interfaces were poll(2) and select(2). As each event monitor - trigger - handling iteration took O(n) where `n' is the number of watched fds, it makes sense to spread them to many pollers such that the `n' can be divided by the number of pollers. However, this doesn't make any sense in kernel because persistent edge triggered event monitoring is how the whole thing is implemented in the kernel in the first place. This patch converts trans_fd to use single poller which watches all the fds instead of the poll of pollers approach. All the fds are registered for monitoring on creation and only the fds with pending events are scanned when something happens much like how epoll is implemented. This change makes trans_fd fd monitoring more efficient and simpler. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cache_change_attribute is used to decide whether or not a directory has changed, in which case we may need to look it up again.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It appears that 'jiffies' timestamps do not have high enough resolution for nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(). One problem is that a GETATTR can be launched within < 1 jiffy of the last operation that updated the attribute. Another problem is that RPC calls can take < 1 jiffy to execute.

The original logic didn't really do what was intended for two reasons: - The max number supported by the device is typically smaller than any one factor in the calculation used, and - The field in the connection parameter structure where the value is stored is a u8 and always overflows for the default settings. So what really happens is the value requested for responder resources is the left over 8 bits from the "desired value". If the desired value happened to be a multiple of 256, the result was zero and it wouldn't connect at all. Given the above and the fact that max_requests is almost always larger than the max responder resources supported by the adapter, this patch simplifies this logic and simply requests the max supported by the device, subject to a reasonable limit.

This is harmless, as it would simply set the scope ID to zero. However, in some cases we would like to flag this as an improperly formed address. We are now also careful to reject addresses where garbage follows the address (up to the length of the string), instead of ignoring the non-address characters; and where the scope ID is nonsense (not a valid device name, but also not numeric). Before, both of these cases would result in a harmless zero scope ID. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: J.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a regression seen when running the Connectathon testsuite against an ext3 filesystem. The reason was that the inode was constantly being marked as 'just updated' by the jiffy wraparound test. This again meant that newer GETATTR calls were failing to pass the nfs_inode_attrs_need_update() test unless the changes caused a ctime update on the server, since they were perceived as having been started before the latest inode update. Given that nfs_inode_attrs_need_update() already checks for wraparound of nfsi->last_updated, we can drop the buggy "protection" in nfs_update_inode(). Also make a slight micro-optimisation of nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(): we are more often going to see time_after(fattr->time_start, nfsi->last_updated) be true, rather than seeing an update of ctime/size, so put that test first to ensure that we optimise away the ctime/size tests.
