Subject: [PATCH] nfs: remove superfluous BUG_ON()s
Remove duplicated BUG_ON()s from nfs[4]_create_server()

This takes care of the following entries from Dan's list:

Hi.
I have a proposal for possibly resolving this issue.
I believe that this situation occurs due to the way that the
Linux NFS client handles writes which modify partial pages.
The Linux NFS client handles partial page modifications by
allocating a page from the page cache, copying the data from
the user level into the page, and then keeping track of the
offset and length of the modified portions of the page. The
page is not marked as up to date because there are portions
of the page which do not contain valid file contents.
When a read call comes in for a portion of the page, the
contents of the page must be read in the from the server.
However, since the page may already contain some modified
data, that modified data must be written to the server
before the file contents can be read back in the from server.
And, since the writing and reading can not be done atomically,
the data must be written and committed to stable storage on
the server for safety purposes. This means either a
FILE_SYNC WRITE or a UNSTABLE WRITE followed by a COMMIT.
This has been discussed at length previously.
This algorithm could be described as modify-write-read. It
is most efficient when the application only updates pages
and does not read them.
My proposed solution is to add a heuristic to decide whether
to do this modify-write-read algorithm or switch to a read-
modify-write algorithm when initially allocating the page
in the write system call path. The heuristic uses the modes
that the file was opened with, the offset in the page to
read from, and the size of the region to read.
If the file was opened for reading in addition to writing
and the page would not be filled completely with data from
the user level, then read in the old contents of the page
and mark it as Uptodate before copying in the new data. If
the page would be completely filled with data from the user
level, then there would be no reason to read in the old
contents because they would just be copied over.
This would optimize for applications which randomly access
and update portions of files. The linkage editor for the
C compiler is an example of such a thing.
I tested the attached patch by using rpmbuild to build the
current Fedora rawhide kernel. The kernel without the
patch generated about 269,500 WRITE requests. The modified
kernel containing the patch generated about 261,000 WRITE
requests. Thus, about 8,500 fewer WRITE requests were
generated. I suspect that many of these additional
WRITE requests were probably FILE_SYNC requests to WRITE
a single page, but I didn't test this theory.
The difference between this patch and the previous one was
to remove the unneeded PageDirty() test. I then retested to
ensure that the resulting system continued to behave as
desired.
Thanx...

RPC universal address generation is currently done in several places:
rpcb_clnt.c, nfs4proc.c xprtsock.c, and xprtrdma.c. Remove the
redundant cases that convert a socket address to a universal
address. The nfs4proc.c case takes a pre-formatted presentation
address string, not a socket address, so we'll leave that one.
Because the new uaddr constructor uses the recently introduced
rpc_ntop(), it now supports proper "::" shorthanding for IPv6
addresses. This allows the kernel to register properly formed
universal addresses with the local rpcbind service, in _all_ cases.
The kernel can now also send properly formed universal addresses in
RPCB_GETADDR requests, and support link-local properly when
encoding and decoding IPv6 addresses.

Introduce a set of functions in the kernel's RPC implementation for
converting between a socket address and either a standard
presentation address string or an RPC universal address.
The universal address functions will be used to encode and decode
RPCB_FOO and NFSv4 SETCLIENTID arguments. The other functions are
part of a previous promise to deliver shared functions that can be
used by upper-layer protocols to display and manipulate IP
addresses.
The kernel's current address printf formatters were designed
specifically for kernel to user-space APIs that require a particular
string format for socket addresses, thus are somewhat limited for the
purposes of sunrpc.ko. The formatter for IPv6 addresses, %pI6, does
not support short-handing or scope IDs. Also, these printf formatters
are unique per address family, so a separate formatter string is
required for printing AF_INET and AF_INET6 addresses.

Commit a14017db added support in the kernel's NFS mount client to
decode the authentication flavor list returned by mountd.
The NFS client can now use this list to determine whether the
authentication flavor requested by the user is actually supported
by the server.
Note we don't actually negotiate the security flavor if none was
specified by the user. Instead, we try to use AUTH_SYS, and fail if
the server does not support it. This prevents us from negotiating
an inappropriate security flavor (some servers list AUTH_NULL first).
If the server does not support AUTH_SYS, the user must provide an
appropriate security flavor by specifying the "sec=" mount option.

Previous logic in the NFS mount parsing code path assumed
auth_flavor_len was set to zero for simple authentication flavors
(like AUTH_UNIX), and 1 for compound flavors (like AUTH_GSS).
At some earlier point (maybe even before the option parsers were
merged?) specific checks for auth_flavor_len being zero were removed
from the functions that validate the mount option that sets the mount
point's authentication flavor.
Since we are populating an array for authentication flavors, the
auth_flavor_len should always be set to the number of flavors. Let's
eliminate some cleverness here, and prepare for new logic that needs
to know the number of flavors in the auth_flavors[] array.
(auth_flavors[] is an array because at some point we want to allow a
list of acceptable authentication flavors to be specified via the sec=
mount option. For now it remains a single element array).

After certain failure modes of an NFS mount, an NFS client should send
a MOUNTPROC_UMNT request to remove the just-added mount entry from the
server's mount table. While no-one should rely on the accuracy of the
server's mount table, sending a UMNT is simply being a good internet
neighbor.
Since NFS mount processing is handled in the kernel now, we will need
a function in the kernel's mountd client that can post a MOUNTRPC_UMNT
request, in order to handle these failure modes.

If the NFSv4 server doesn't support a POSIX attribute, the generic NFS code
needs to know that, so that it don't keep trying to poll for it.
However, by the same count, if the NFSv4 server does support that
attribute, then we should ensure that the inode metadata is appropriately
labelled as being untrusted. For instance, if we don't know the correct
value of the file's uid, we should certainly not be caching ACLs or ACCESS
results.

This patch (as1273) fixes two(!) bugs introduced by the new
Clear-TT-Buffer implementation in ehci-hcd.
It is now possible for an idle QH to have some URBs on its
queue -- this will happen if a Clear-TT-Buffer is pending for
the QH's endpoint. Consequently we should not issue a warning
when someone tries to unlink an URB from an idle QH; instead
we should process the request immediately.
The refcounts for QHs could get messed up, because
submit_async() would increment the refcount when calling
qh_link_async() and qh_link_async() would then refuse to link
the QH into the schedule if a Clear-TT-Buffer was pending.
Instead we should increment the refcount only when the QH
actually is added to the schedule. The current code tries to
be clever by leaving the refcount alone if an unlink is
immediately followed by a relink; the patch changes this to an
unconditional decrement and increment (although they occur in
the opposite order).
