Calling fput() directly or though filp_close() from a kernel thread like
nfsd causes the final __fput() (if necessary) to be called from a
workqueue. This means that nfsd is not forced to wait for any work to
complete. If the ->release or ->destroy_inode function is slow for any
reason, this can result in nfsd closing files more quickly than the
workqueue can complete the close and the queue of pending closes can
grow without bounces (30 million has been seen at one customer site,
though this was in part due to a slowness in xfs which has since been
fixed).
nfsd does not need this. It is quite appropriate and safe for nfsd to
do its own close work. There is no reason that close should ever wait
for nfsd, so no deadlock can occur.
It should be safe and sensible to change all fput() calls to
__fput_sync(). However in the interests of caution this patch only
changes two - the two that can be most directly affected by client
behaviour and could occur at high frequency.
- the fput() implicitly in flip_close() is changed to __fput_sync()
by calling get_file() first to ensure filp_close() doesn't do
the final fput() itself. If is where files opened for IO are closed.
- the fput() in nfsd_read() is also changed. This is where directories
opened for readdir are closed.
This ensure that minimal fput work is queued to the workqueue.
This removes the need for the flush_delayed_fput() call in
nfsd_file_close_inode_sync()

The work of closing a file can have non-trivial cost. Doing it in a
separate work queue thread means that cost isn't imposed on the nfsd
threads and an imbalance can be created. This can result in files being
queued for the work queue more quickly that the work queue can process
them, resulting in unbounded growth of the queue and memory exhaustion.
To avoid this work imbalance that exhausts memory, this patch moves all
closing of files into the nfsd threads. This means that when the work
imposes a cost, that cost appears where it would be expected - in the
work of the nfsd thread. A subsequent patch will ensure the final
__fput() is called in the same (nfsd) thread which calls filp_close().
Files opened for NFSv3 are never explicitly closed by the client and are
kept open by the server in the "filecache", which responds to memory
pressure, is garbage collected even when there is no pressure, and
sometimes closes files when there is particular need such as for rename.
These files currently have filp_close() called in a dedicated work
queue, so their __fput() can have no effect on nfsd threads.
This patch discards the work queue and instead has each nfsd thread call
flip_close() on as many as 8 files from the filecache each time it acts
on a client request (or finds there are no pending client requests). If
there are more to be closed, more threads are woken. This spreads the
work of __fput() over multiple threads and imposes any cost on those
threads.
The number 8 is somewhat arbitrary. It needs to be greater than 1 to
ensure that files are closed more quickly than they can be added to the
cache. It needs to be small enough to limit the per-request delays that
will be imposed on clients when all threads are busy closing files.

There is one significant revert to mention: support for RDMA Read

has been fixed so it waits for Read completion in a way that avoids
tying up an nfsd thread. This prevents a possible DoS vector if an

Patch series "workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap
writeback", v8.
There are currently several issues with zswap writeback:
1. There is only a single global LRU for zswap, making it impossible to
perform worload-specific shrinking - an memcg under memory pressure
cannot determine which pages in the pool it owns, and often ends up
writing pages from other memcgs. This issue has been previously
observed in practice and mitigated by simply disabling
memcg-initiated shrinking:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230530232435.3097106-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/T/#u
But this solution leaves a lot to be desired, as we still do not
have an avenue for an memcg to free up its own memory locked up in
the zswap pool.
2. We only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is hit.
This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are
unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious
memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed
ahead of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on
factors such as memory access patterns and compressibility of the
memory pages).
This patch series solves these issues by separating the global zswap LRU
into per-memcg and per-NUMA LRUs, and performs workload-specific (i.e
memcg- and NUMA-aware) zswap writeback under memory pressure. The new
shrinker does not have any parameter that must be tuned by the user, and
can be opted in or out on a per-memcg basis.
As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the
linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in
tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall
performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe
from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.
This patch (of 6):
The interface of list_lru is based on the assumption that the list node
and the data it represents belong to the same allocated on the correct
node/memcg. While this assumption is valid for existing slab objects LRU
such as dentries and inodes, it is undocumented, and rather inflexible for
certain potential list_lru users (such as the upcoming zswap shrinker and
the THP shrinker). It has caused us a lot of issues during our
development.
This patch changes list_lru interface so that the caller must explicitly
specify numa node and memcg when adding and removing objects. The old
list_lru_add() and list_lru_del() are renamed to list_lru_add_obj() and
list_lru_del_obj(), respectively.
It also extends the list_lru API with a new function, list_lru_putback,
which undoes a previous list_lru_isolate call. Unlike list_lru_add, it
does not increment the LRU node count (as list_lru_isolate does not
decrement the node count). list_lru_putback also allows for explicit
memcg and NUMA node selection.

The nfsd_open code handles EOPENSTALE correctly, by retrying the call to
fh_verify() and __nfsd_open(). However the filecache just drops the
error on the floor, and immediately returns nfserr_stale to the caller.
This patch ensures that we propagate the EOPENSTALE code back to
nfsd_file_do_acquire, and that we handle it correctly.

While we were converting the nfs4_file hashtable to use the kernel's
resizable hashtable data structure, Neil Brown observed that the
list variant (rhltable) would be better for managing nfsd_file items
as well. The nfsd_file hash table will contain multiple entries for
the same inode -- these should be kept together on a list. And, it
could be possible for exotic or malicious client behavior to cause
the hash table to resize itself on every insertion.
A nice simplification is that rhltable_lookup() can return a list
that contains only nfsd_file items that match a given inode, which
enables us to eliminate specialized hash table helper functions and
use the default functions provided by the rhashtable implementation).
Since we are now storing nfsd_file items for the same inode on a
single list, that effectively reduces the number of hash entries
that have to be tracked in the hash table. The mininum bucket count
is therefore lowered.
Light testing with fstests generic/531 show no regressions.

On most filesystems, there is no reason to delay reaping an nfsd_file
just because its underlying inode is still under writeback. nfsd just
relies on client activity or the local flusher threads to do writeback.
The main exception is NFS, which flushes all of its dirty data on last
close. Add a new EXPORT_OP_FLUSH_ON_CLOSE flag to allow filesystems to
signal that they do this, and only skip closing files under writeback on
such filesystems.
Also, remove a redundant NULL file pointer check in
nfsd_file_check_writeback, and clean up nfs's export op flag
definitions.

Most of the time, NFSv4 clients issue a COMMIT before the final CLOSE of
an open stateid, so with NFSv4, the fsync in the nfsd_file_free path is
usually a no-op and doesn't block.
We have a customer running knfsd over very slow storage (XFS over Ceph
RBD). They were using the "async" export option because performance was
more important than data integrity for this application. That export
option turns NFSv4 COMMIT calls into no-ops. Due to the fsync in this
codepath however, their final CLOSE calls would still stall (since a
CLOSE effectively became a COMMIT).
I think this fsync is not strictly necessary. We only use that result to
reset the write verifier. Instead of fsync'ing all of the data when we
free an nfsd_file, we can just check for writeback errors when one is
acquired and when it is freed.
If the client never comes back, then it'll never see the error anyway
and there is no point in resetting it. If an error occurs after the
nfsd_file is removed from the cache but before the inode is evicted,
then it will reset the write verifier on the next nfsd_file_acquire,
(since there will be an unseen error).
The only exception here is if something else opens and fsyncs the file
during that window. Given that local applications work with this
limitation today, I don't see that as an issue.

Commit fb70bf124b ("NFSD: Instantiate a struct file when creating a
regular NFSv4 file") added the ability to cache an open fd over a
compound. There are a couple of problems with the way this currently
works:
It's racy, as a newly-created nfsd_file can end up with its PENDING bit
cleared while the nf is hashed, and the nf_file pointer is still zeroed
out. Other tasks can find it in this state and they expect to see a
valid nf_file, and can oops if nf_file is NULL.
Also, there is no guarantee that we'll end up creating a new nfsd_file
if one is already in the hash. If an extant entry is in the hash with a
valid nf_file, nfs4_get_vfs_file will clobber its nf_file pointer with
the value of op_file and the old nf_file will leak.
Fix both issues by making a new nfsd_file_acquirei_opened variant that
takes an optional file pointer. If one is present when this is called,
we'll take a new reference to it instead of trying to open the file. If
the nfsd_file already has a valid nf_file, we'll just ignore the
optional file and pass the nfsd_file back as-is.
Also rework the tracepoints a bit to allow for an "opened" variant and
don't try to avoid counting acquisitions in the case where we already
have a cached open file.

The filecache refcounting is a bit non-standard for something searchable
by RCU, in that we maintain a sentinel reference while it's hashed. This
in turn requires that we have to do things differently in the "put"
depending on whether its hashed, which we believe to have led to races.
There are other problems in here too. nfsd_file_close_inode_sync can end
up freeing an nfsd_file while there are still outstanding references to
it, and there are a number of subtle ToC/ToU races.
Rework the code so that the refcount is what drives the lifecycle. When
the refcount goes to zero, then unhash and rcu free the object. A task
searching for a nfsd_file is allowed to bump its refcount, but only if
it's not already 0. Ensure that we don't make any other changes to it
until a reference is held.
With this change, the LRU carries a reference. Take special care to deal
with it when removing an entry from the list, and ensure that we only
repurpose the nf_lru list_head when the refcount is 0 to ensure
exclusive access to it.

It gets the reference counting wrong, for one thing.
But it also misses that DELEGRETURN should release a file in the

nfsd_file_unhash_and_dispose() is called for two reasons:
We're either shutting down and purging the filecache, or we've gotten a
notification about a file delete, so we want to go ahead and unhash it
so that it'll get cleaned up when we close.
We're either walking the hashtable or doing a lookup in it and we
don't take a reference in either case. What we want to do in both cases
is to try and unhash the object and put it on the dispose list if that
was successful. If it's no longer hashed, then we don't want to touch
it, with the assumption being that something else is already cleaning
up the sentinel reference.
Instead of trying to selectively decrement the refcount in this
function, just unhash it, and if that was successful, move it to the
dispose list. Then, the disposal routine will just clean that up as
usual.
Also, just make this a void function, drop the WARN_ON_ONCE, and the
comments about deadlocking since the nature of the purported deadlock
