2008-04-22rcu: split list.h and move rcu-protected lists into rculist.hFranck Bui-Huu
Move rcu-protected lists from list.h into a new header file rculist.h. This is done because list are a very used primitive structure all over the kernel and it's currently impossible to include other header files in this list.h without creating some circular dependencies. For example, list.h implements rcu-protected list and uses rcu_dereference() without including rcupdate.h. It actually compiles because users of rcu_dereference() are macros. Others RCU functions could be used too but aren't probably because of this. Therefore this patch creates rculist.h which includes rcupdates without to many changes/troubles.

2008-04-19SUNRPC: Don't change the RPCSEC_GSS context on a credential that is in useTrond Myklebust
When a server rejects our credential with an AUTH_REJECTEDCRED or similar, we need to refresh the credential and then retry the request. However, we do want to allow any requests that are in flight to finish executing, so that we can at least attempt to process the replies that depend on this instance of the credential. The solution is to ensure that gss_refresh() looks up an entirely new RPCSEC_GSS credential instead of attempting to create a context for the existing invalid credential.

2008-04-19SUNRPC: Don't disconnect more than once if retransmitting NFSv4 requestsTrond Myklebust
NFSv4 requires us to ensure that we break the TCP connection before we're allowed to retransmit a request. However in the case where we're retransmitting several requests that have been sent on the same connection, we need to ensure that we don't interfere with the attempt to reconnect and/or break the connection again once it has been established. We therefore introduce a 'connection' cookie that is bumped every time a connection is broken. This allows requests to track if they need to force a disconnection.

2008-04-19SUNRPC: Fix read ordering problems with req->rq_private_buf.lenTrond Myklebust
We want to ensure that req->rq_private_buf.len is updated before req->rq_received, so that call_decode() doesn't use an old value for req->rq_rcv_buf.len. In 'call_decode()' itself, instead of using task->tk_status (which is set using req->rq_received) must use the actual value of req->rq_private_buf.len when deciding whether or not the received RPC reply is too short. Finally ensure that we set req->rq_rcv_buf.len to zero when retrying a request. A typo meant that we were resetting req->rq_private_buf.len in call_decode(), and then clobbering that value with the old rq_rcv_buf.len again in xprt_transmit().

2008-04-19SUNRPC: Don't attempt to destroy expired RPCSEC_GSS credentials..Trond Myklebust
..and always destroy using a 'soft' RPC call. Destroying GSS credentials isn't mandatory; the server can always cope with a few credentials not getting destroyed in a timely fashion. This actually fixes a hang situation. Basically, some servers will decide that the client is crazy if it tries to destroy an RPC context for which they have sent an RPCSEC_GSS_CREDPROBLEM, and so will refuse to talk to it for a while. The regression therefor probably was introduced by commit 0df7fb74fbb709591301871a38aac7735a1d6583. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-04-19SUNRPC: Fix up xprt_write_space()Trond Myklebust
The rest of the networking layer uses SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE to signal whether or not we have someone waiting for buffer memory. Convert the SUNRPC layer to use the same idiom. Remove the unlikely()s in xs_udp_write_space and xs_tcp_write_space. In fact, the most common case will be that there is nobody waiting for buffer space. SOCK_NOSPACE is there to tell the TCP layer whether or not the cwnd was limited by the application window. Ensure that we follow the same idiom as the rest of the networking layer here too. Finally, ensure that we clear SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE once we wake up, so that write_space() doesn't keep waking things up on xprt->pending. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-04-19SUNRPC: Fix a bug in call_decode()Trond Myklebust

So that we don't have to make three mnt_want/drop_write() calls inside of the switch statement, we move some of its logic outside of the switch and into a helper function suggested by Christoph.

2008-04-18[NET]: Fix and allocate less memory for ->priv'less netdevicesAlexey Dobriyan
This patch effectively reverts commit d0498d9ae1a5cebac363e38907266d5cd2eedf89 aka "[NET]: Do not allocate unneeded memory for dev->priv alignment." It was found to be buggy because of final unconditional += NETDEV_ALIGN_CONST removal. For example, for sizeof(struct net_device) being 2048 bytes, "alloc_size" was also 2048 bytes, but allocator with debugging options turned on started giving out !32-byte aligned memory resulting in redzones overwrites. Patch does small optimization in ->priv'less case: bumping size to next 32-byte boundary was always done to ensure ->priv will also be aligned. But, no ->priv, no need to do that.

found dev_get_by_index() may return NULL if nothing is found. In net/netlabel/netlabel_unlabeled.c::netlbl_unlabel_staticlist_gen() the function is called, but the return value is never checked. If it returns NULL then we'll deref a NULL pointer on the very next line. I checked the callers, and I don't think this can actually happen today, but code changes over time and in the future it might happen and it does no harm to be defensive and check for the failure, so that if/when it happens we'll fail gracefully instead of crashing.

2008-04-16IB/core: Add support for "send with invalidate" work requestsRoland Dreier
Add a new IB_WR_SEND_WITH_INV send opcode that can be used to mark a "send with invalidate" work request as defined in the iWARP verbs and the InfiniBand base memory management extensions. Also put "imm_data" and a new "invalidate_rkey" member in a new "ex" union in struct ib_send_wr. The invalidate_rkey member can be used to pass in an R_Key/STag to be invalidated. Add this new union to struct ib_uverbs_send_wr. Add code to copy the invalidate_rkey field in ib_uverbs_post_send(). Fix up low-level drivers to deal with the change to struct ib_send_wr, and just remove the imm_data initialization from net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/, since that code never does any send with immediate operations. Also, move the existing IB_DEVICE_SEND_W_INV flag to a new bit, since the iWARP drivers currently in the tree set the bit. The amso1100 driver at least will silently fail to honor the IB_SEND_INVALIDATE bit if passed in as part of userspace send requests (since it does not implement kernel bypass work request queueing). Remove the flag from all existing drivers that set it until we know which ones are OK. The values chosen for the new flag is not consecutive to avoid clashing with flags defined in the XRC patches, which are not merged yet but which are already in use and are likely to be merged soon.
