Work on "courteous server", which was introduced in 5.19, continues
apace. This release introduces a more flexible limit on the number
of NFSv4 clients that NFSD allows, now that NFSv4 clients can remain
in courtesy state long after the lease expiration timeout. The
client limit is adjusted based on the physical memory size of the
server.
The NFSD filecache is a cache of files held open by NFSv4 clients or
recently touched by NFSv2 or NFSv3 clients. This cache had some
significant scalability constraints that have been relieved in this
release. Thanks to all who contributed to this work.
A data corruption bug found during the most recent NFS bake-a-thon
that involves NFSv3 and NFSv4 clients writing the same file has been
addressed in this release.
This release includes several improvements in CPU scalability for
NFSv4 operations. In addition, Neil Brown provided patches that
simplify locking during file lookup, creation, rename, and removal
that enables subsequent work on making these operations more
scalable. We expect to see that work materialize in the next
release.
There are also numerous single-patch fixes, clean-ups, and the
usual improvements in observability.

The last close of a file should enable other accessors to open and
use that file immediately. Leaving the file open in the filecache
prevents other users from accessing that file until the filecache

The checks in nfsd_file_acquire() and nfsd_file_put() that directly
invoke filecache garbage collection are intended to keep cache
occupancy between a low- and high-watermark. The reason to limit the
capacity of the filecache is to keep filecache lookups reasonably
fast.
However, invoking garbage collection at those points has some
undesirable negative impacts. Files that are held open by NFSv4
clients often push the occupancy of the filecache over these
watermarks. At that point:
- Every call to nfsd_file_acquire() and nfsd_file_put() results in
an LRU walk. This has the same effect on lookup latency as long
chains in the hash table.
- Garbage collection will then run on every nfsd thread, causing a
lot of unnecessary lock contention.
- Limiting cache capacity pushes out files used only by NFSv3
clients, which are the type of files the filecache is supposed to
help.
To address those negative impacts, remove the direct calls to the
garbage collector. Subsequent patches will address maintaining
lookup efficiency as cache capacity increases.

Without LRU item rotation, the shrinker visits only a few items on

There have been reports of problems when running fstests generic/531
against Linux NFS servers with NFSv4. The NFS server that hosts the
test's SCRATCH_DEV suffers from CPU soft lock-ups during the test.
Analysis shows that:
fs/nfsd/filecache.c
482 ret = list_lru_walk(&nfsd_file_lru,
483 nfsd_file_lru_cb,
484 &head, LONG_MAX);
causes nfsd_file_gc() to walk the entire length of the filecache LRU
list every time it is called (which is quite frequently). The walk
holds a spinlock the entire time that prevents other nfsd threads
from accessing the filecache.
What's more, for NFSv4 workloads, none of the items that are visited
during this walk may be evicted, since they are all files that are
held OPEN by NFS clients.
Address this by ensuring that open files are not kept on the LRU
list.

We had a report from the spring Bake-a-thon of data corruption in some
nfstest_interop tests. Looking at the traces showed the NFS server
allowing a v3 WRITE to proceed while a read delegation was still
outstanding.
Currently, we only set NFSD_FILE_BREAK_* flags if
NFSD_MAY_NOT_BREAK_LEASE was set when we call nfsd_file_alloc.
NFSD_MAY_NOT_BREAK_LEASE was intended to be set when finding files for
COMMIT ops, where we need a writeable filehandle but don't need to
break read leases.
It doesn't make any sense to consult that flag when allocating a file
since the file may be used on subsequent calls where we do want to break
the lease (and the usage of it here seems to be reverse from what it
should be anyway).
Also, after calling nfsd_open_break_lease, we don't want to clear the
BREAK_* bits. A lease could end up being set on it later (more than
once) and we need to be able to break those leases as well.
This means that the NFSD_FILE_BREAK_* flags now just mirror
NFSD_MAY_{READ,WRITE} flags, so there's no need for them at all. Just
drop those flags and unconditionally call nfsd_open_break_lease every
time.

Currently shrinkers are anonymous objects. For debugging purposes they
can be identified by count/scan function names, but it's not always
useful: e.g. for superblock's shrinkers it's nice to have at least an
idea of to which superblock the shrinker belongs.
This commit adds names to shrinkers. register_shrinker() and
prealloc_shrinker() functions are extended to take a format and arguments
to master a name.
In some cases it's not possible to determine a good name at the time when
a shrinker is allocated. For such cases shrinker_debugfs_rename() is
provided.
The expected format is:
<subsystem>-<shrinker_type>[:<instance>]-<id>
For some shrinkers an instance can be encoded as (MAJOR:MINOR) pair.
After this change the shrinker debugfs directory looks like:

We introduce "courteous server" in this release. Previously NFSD
would purge open and lock state for an unresponsive client after
one lease period (typically 90 seconds). Now, after one lease
period, another client can open and lock those files and the
unresponsive client's lease is purged; otherwise if the unrespon-
sive client's open and lock state is uncontended, the server retains
that open and lock state for up to 24 hours, allowing the client's
workload to resume after a lengthy network partition.
A longstanding issue with NFSv4 file creation is also addressed.
Previously a file creation can fail internally, returning an error
to the client, but leave the newly created file in place as an
artifact. The file creation code path has been reorganized so that
internal failures and race conditions are less likely to result in
an unwanted file creation.
A fault injector has been added to help exercise paths that are run
during kernel metadata cache invalidation. These caches contain
information maintained by user space about exported filesystems.
Many of our test workloads do not trigger cache invalidation.
There is one patch that is needed to support PREEMPT_RT and a fix
for an ancient "sleep while spin-locked" splat that seems to have
become easier to hit since v5.18-rc3.

There have been reports of races that cause NFSv4 OPEN(CREATE) to
return an error even though the requested file was created. NFSv4
does not provide a status code for this case.
To mitigate some of these problems, reorganize the NFSv4
OPEN(CREATE) logic to allocate resources before the file is actually
created, and open the new file while the parent directory is still
locked.
Two new APIs are added:
+ Add an API that works like nfsd_file_acquire() but does not open
the underlying file. The OPEN(CREATE) path can use this API when it
already has an open file.
+ Add an API that is kin to dentry_open(). NFSD needs to create a
file and grab an open "struct file *" atomically. The
alloc_empty_file() has to be done before the inode create. If it
fails (for example, because the NFS server has exceeded its

Before commit 9542e6a643 ("nfsd: Containerise filecache laundrette")
nfsd would close open files in direct reclaim context and that could
cause a deadlock when fsnotify mark allocation went into direct reclaim
and nfsd shrinker tried to free existing fsnotify marks.
To avoid issues like this in future code, set the FSNOTIFY_GROUP_NOFS
flag on nfsd fsnotify group to prevent going into direct reclaim from
fsnotify_add_inode_mark().

Add flags argument to fsnotify_alloc_group(), define and use the flag
FSNOTIFY_GROUP_USER in inotify and fanotify instead of the helper
fsnotify_alloc_user_group() to indicate user allocation.
Although the flag FSNOTIFY_GROUP_USER is currently not used after group
allocation, we store the flags argument in the group struct for future
use of other group flags.

The call to filemap_flush() in nfsd_file_put() is there to ensure that
we clear out any writes belonging to a NFSv3 client relatively quickly
and avoid situations where the file can't be evicted by the garbage
collector. It also ensures that we detect write errors quickly.
The problem is this causes a regression in performance for some
workloads.
So try to improve matters by deferring writeback until we're ready to
close the file, and need to detect errors so that we can force the
client to resend.

The nfsd file cache table can be pretty large and its allocation
may require as many as 80 contigious pages.
Employ the same fix that was employed for similar issue that was
reported for the reply cache hash table allocation several years ago
by commit 8f97514b42 ("nfsd: more robust allocation failure handling
in nfsd_reply_cache_init").
Fixes: 65294c1f2c ("nfsd: add a new struct file caching facility to nfsd")

The nfsd_file nf_rwsem is currently being used to separate file write
and commit instances to ensure that we catch errors and apply them to
the correct write/commit.
We can improve scalability at the expense of a little accuracy (some
extra false positives) by replacing the nf_rwsem with more careful
use of the errseq_t mechanism to track errors across the different
operations.

[ cel: rebased on zero-verifier fix ]
We currently have a 'laundrette' for closing cached files - a different
work-item for each network-namespace.
These 'laundrettes' (aka struct nfsd_fcache_disposal) are currently on a
list, and are freed using rcu.
The list is not necessary as we have a per-namespace structure (struct
nfsd_net) which can hold a link to the nfsd_fcache_disposal.
The use of kfree_rcu is also unnecessary as the cache is cleaned of all
files associated with a given namespace, and no new files can be added,
before the nfsd_fcache_disposal is freed.
So add a '->fcache_disposal' link to nfsd_net, and discard the list
management and rcu usage.
