e0e817392b CRED: Add some configurable debugging [try #6]
Add a config option (CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS) to turn on some debug checking
for credential management.  The additional code keeps track of the number of
pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that
this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes
all references, not just those from task_structs).

Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security
pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid.

This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd
kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the
credential struct has been previously released):

bc74b4f5e6 SUNRPC: Allow the cache_detail to specify alternative upcall mechanisms
For events that are rare, such as referral DNS lookups, it makes limited
sense to have a daemon constantly listening for upcalls on a channel. An
alternative in those cases might simply be to run the app that fills the
cache using call_usermodehelper_exec() and friends.

The following patch allows the cache_detail to specify alternative upcall
mechanisms for these particular cases.

033a666ccb NFSD: Don't hold unrefcounted creds over call to nfsd_setuser()
nfsd_open() gets an unrefcounted pointer to the current process's effective
credentials at the top of the function, then calls nfsd_setuser() via
fh_verify() - which may replace and destroy the current process's effective
credentials - and then passes the unrefcounted pointer to dentry_open() - but
the credentials may have been destroyed by this point.

Instead, the value from current_cred() should be passed directly to
dentry_open() as one of its arguments, rather than being cached in a variable.

Possibly fh_verify() should return the creds to use.

This is a regression introduced by
745ca2475a "CRED: Pass credentials through
dentry_open()".

671e1fcf63 nfsd: optimise the starting of zero threads when none are running.
Currently, if we ask to set then number of nfsd threads to zero when
there are none running, we set up all the sockets and register the
service, and then tear it all down again.
This is pointless.

So detect that case and exit promptly.
(also remove an assignment to 'error' which was never used.

82e12fe924 nfsd: don't take nfsd_mutex twice when setting number of threads.
Currently when we write a number to 'threads' in nfsdfs,
we take the nfsd_mutex, update the number of threads, then take the
mutex again to read the number of threads.

Mostly this isn't a big deal.  However if we are write '0', and
portmap happens to be dead, then we can get unpredictable behaviour.
If the nfsd threads all got killed quickly and the last thread is
waiting for portmap to respond, then the second time we take the mutex
we will block waiting for the last thread.
However if the nfsd threads didn't die quite that fast, then there
will be no contention when we try to take the mutex again.

Unpredictability isn't fun, and waiting for the last thread to exit is
pointless, so avoid taking the lock twice.
To achieve this, get nfsd_svc return a non-negative number of active
threads when not returning a negative error.

48e03bc515 nfsd: Use write gathering only with NFSv2
NFSv3 and above can use unstable writes whenever they are sending more
than one write, rather than relying on the flaky write gathering
heuristics. More often than not, write gathering is currently getting it
wrong when the NFSv3 clients are sending a single write with FILE_SYNC
for efficiency reasons.

This patch turns off write gathering for NFSv3/v4, and ensures that
it only applies to the one case that can actually benefit: namely NFSv2.

3c8e03166a NFSv4: do exact check about attribute specified
Server should return NFS4ERR_ATTRNOTSUPP if an attribute specified is
not supported in current environment.
Operations CREATE, NVERIFY, OPEN, SETATTR and VERIFY should do this check.

This bug is found when do newpynfs tests. The names of the tests that failed
are following:
  CR12 NVF7a NVF7b NVF7c NVF7d NVF7f NVF7r NVF7s
  OPEN15 VF7a VF7b VF7c VF7d VF7f VF7r VF7s

Add function do_check_fattr() to do exact check:
1, Check attribute specified is supported by the NFSv4 server or not.
2, Check FATTR4_WORD0_ACL & FATTR4_WORD0_FS_LOCATIONS are supported
   in current environment or not.
3, Check attribute specified is writable or not.

step 1 and 3 are done in function nfsd4_decode_fattr() but removed
to this function now.

14dba5331b integrity: nfsd imbalance bug fix
An nfsd exported file is opened/closed by the kernel causing the
integrity imbalance message.

Before a file is opened, there normally is permission checking, which
is done in inode_permission().  However, as integrity checking requires
a dentry and mount point, which is not available in inode_permission(),
the integrity (permission) checking must be called separately.

In order to detect any missing integrity checking calls, we keep track
of file open/closes.  ima_path_check() increments these counts and
does the integrity (permission) checking. As a result, the number of
calls to ima_path_check()/ima_file_free() should be balanced.  An extra
call to fput(), indicates the file could have been accessed without first
calling ima_path_check().

In nfsv3 permission checking is done once, followed by multiple reads,
which do an open/close for each read.  The integrity (permission) checking
call should be in nfsd_permission() after the inode_permission() call, but
as there is no correlation between the number of permission checking and
open calls, the integrity checking call should not increment the counters,
but defer it to when the file is actually opened.

This patch adds:
- integrity (permission) checking for nfsd exported files in nfsd_permission().
- a call to increment counts for files opened by nfsd.

This patch has been updated to return the nfs error types.

a0d24b295a nfsd: fix hung up of nfs client while sync write data to nfs server
Commit 'Short write in nfsd becomes a full write to the client'
(31dec2538e) broken the sync write.
With the following commands to reproduce:

  $ mount -t nfs -o sync 192.168.0.21:/nfsroot /mnt
  $ cd /mnt
  $ echo aaaa > temp.txt

Then nfs client is hung up.

In SYNC mode the server alaways return the write count 0 to the
client. This is because the value of host_err in nfsd_vfs_write()
will be overwrite in SYNC mode by 'host_err=nfsd_sync(file);',
and then we return host_err(which is now 0) as write count.

This patch fixed the problem.

1dbd0d53f3 knfsd: remove unreported filehandle stats counters
The file nfsfh.c contains two static variables nfsd_nr_verified and
nfsd_nr_put.  These are counters which are incremented as a side
effect of the fh_verify() fh_compose() and fh_put() operations,
i.e. at least twice per NFS call for any non-trivial workload.
Needless to say this makes the cacheline that contains them (and any
other innocent victims) a very hot contention point indeed under high
call-rate workloads on multiprocessor NFS server.  It also turns out
that these counters are not used anywhere.  They're not reported to
userspace, they're not used in logic, they're not even exported from
the object file (let alone the module).  All they do is waste CPU time.

So this patch removes them.

Tests on a 16 CPU Altix A4700 with 2 10gige Myricom cards, configured
separately (no bonding).  Workload is 640 client threads doing directory
traverals with random small reads, from server RAM.

cf0a586cf4 knfsd: fix reply cache memory corruption
Fix a regression in the reply cache introduced when the code was
converted to use proper Linux lists.  When a new entry needs to be
inserted, the case where all the entries are currently being used
by threads is not correctly detected.  This can result in memory
corruption and a crash.  In the current code this is an extremely
unlikely corner case; it would require the machine to have 1024
nfsd threads and all of them to be busy at the same time.  However,
upcoming reply cache changes make this more likely; a crash due to
this problem was actually observed in field.

b2c0cea6b1 nfsd4: check for negative dentry before use in nfsv4 readdir
After 2f9092e102 "Fix i_mutex vs.  readdir
handling in nfsd" (and 14f7dd63 "Copy XFS readdir hack into nfsd code"),
an entry may be removed between the first mutex_unlock and the second
mutex_lock. In this case, lookup_one_len() will return a negative
dentry.  Check for this case to avoid a NULL dereference.

3aea09dc91 nfsd4: track recall retries in nfs4_delegation
Move this out of a local variable into the nfs4_delegation object in
preparation for making this an async rpc call (at which point we'll need
any state like this in a common object that's preserved across function
calls).

6707bd3d42 nfsd4: remove unused dl_trunc
There's no point in keeping this field around--it's always zero.

(Background: the protocol allows you to tell the client that the file is
about to be truncated, as an optimization to save the client from
writing back dirty pages that will just be discarded.  We don't
implement this hint.  If we do some day, adding this field back in will
be the least of the work involved.)

b53d40c507 nfsd4: eliminate struct nfs4_cb_recall
The nfs4_cb_recall struct is used only in nfs4_delegation, so its
pointer to the containing delegation is unnecessary--we could just use
container_of().

But there's no real reason to have this a separate struct at all--just
move these fields to nfs4_delegation.

c237dc0303 nfsd4: rename callback struct to cb_conn
I want to use the name for a struct that actually does represent a
single callback.

(Actually, I've never been sure it helps to a separate struct for the
callback information.  Some day maybe those fields could just be dumped
into struct nfs4_client.  I don't know.)

ecdd03b791 nfsd4: create rpc callback client from server thread
The code is a little simpler, and it should be easier to avoid races, if
we just do all rpc client creation/destruction from nfsd or laundromat
threads and do only the rpc calls themselves asynchronously.  The rpc
creation doesn't involve any significant waiting (it doesn't call the
client, for example), so there's no reason not to do this.

Also don't bother destroying the client on failure of the rpc null
probe.  We may want to retry the probe later anyway.
