Pull NFS client updates for Linux 3.4 from Trond Myklebust: "New features include: - Add NFS client support for containers. This should enable most of the necessary functionality, including lockd support, and support for rpc.statd, NFSv4 idmapper and RPCSEC_GSS upcalls into the correct network namespace from which the mount system call was issued. - NFSv4 idmapper scalability improvements Base the idmapper cache on the keyring interface to allow concurrent access to idmapper entries. Start the process of migrating users from the single-threaded daemon-based approach to the multi-threaded request-key based approach. - NFSv4.1 implementation id. Allows the NFSv4.1 client and server to mutually identify each other for logging and debugging purposes. - Support the 'vers=4.1' mount option for mounting NFSv4.1 instead of having to use the more counterintuitive 'vers=4,minorversion=1'. - SUNRPC tracepoints. Start the process of adding tracepoints in order to improve debugging of the RPC layer. - pNFS object layout support for autologin. Important bugfixes include: - Fix a bug in rpc_wake_up/rpc_wake_up_status that caused them to fail to wake up all tasks when applied to priority waitqueues. - Ensure that we handle read delegations correctly, when we try to truncate a file. - A number of fixes for NFSv4 state manager loops (mostly to do with delegation recovery)." * tag 'nfs-for-3.4-1' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/linux-nfs: (224 commits) NFS: fix sb->s_id in nfs debug prints xprtrdma: Remove assumption that each segment is <= PAGE_SIZE xprtrdma: The transport should not bug-check when a dup reply is received pnfs-obj: autologin: Add support for protocol autologin NFS: Remove nfs4_setup_sequence from generic rename code NFS: Remove nfs4_setup_sequence from generic unlink code NFS: Remove nfs4_setup_sequence from generic read code NFS: Remove nfs4_setup_sequence from generic write code NFS: Fix more NFS debug related build warnings SUNRPC/LOCKD: Fix build warnings when CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG is undefined nfs: non void functions must return a value SUNRPC: Kill compiler warning when RPC_DEBUG is unset SUNRPC/NFS: Add Kbuild dependencies for NFS_DEBUG/RPC_DEBUG NFS: Use cond_resched_lock() to reduce latencies in the commit scans NFSv4: It is not safe to dereference lsp->ls_state in release_lockowner NFS: ncommit count is being double decremented SUNRPC: We must not use list_for_each_entry_safe() in rpc_wake_up() Try using machine credentials for RENEW calls NFSv4.1: Fix a few issues in filelayout_commit_pagelist NFSv4.1: Clean ups and bugfixes for the pNFS read/writeback/commit code ...

procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc//maps

2012-03-22T00:54:58Z

Stack for a new thread is mapped by userspace code and passed via sys_clone. This memory is currently seen as anonymous in /proc//maps, which makes it difficult to ascertain which mappings are being used for thread stacks. This patch uses the individual task stack pointers to determine which vmas are actually thread stacks. For a multithreaded program like the following: #include void *thread_main(void *foo) { while(1); } int main() { pthread_t t; pthread_create(&t, NULL, thread_main, NULL); pthread_join(t, NULL); } proc/PID/maps looks like the following: 00400000-00401000 r-xp 00000000 fd:0a 3671804 /home/siddhesh/a.out 00600000-00601000 rw-p 00000000 fd:0a 3671804 /home/siddhesh/a.out 019ef000-01a10000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] 7f8a44491000-7f8a44492000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a44492000-7f8a44c92000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a44c92000-7f8a44e3d000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a44e3d000-7f8a4503d000 ---p 001ab000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a4503d000-7f8a45041000 r--p 001ab000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a45041000-7f8a45043000 rw-p 001af000 fd:00 2097482 /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so 7f8a45043000-7f8a45048000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45048000-7f8a4505f000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a4505f000-7f8a4525e000 ---p 00017000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a4525e000-7f8a4525f000 r--p 00016000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a4525f000-7f8a45260000 rw-p 00017000 fd:00 2099938 /lib64/libpthread-2.14.90.so 7f8a45260000-7f8a45264000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45264000-7f8a45286000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 2097348 /lib64/ld-2.14.90.so 7f8a45457000-7f8a4545a000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45484000-7f8a45485000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7f8a45485000-7f8a45486000 r--p 00021000 fd:00 2097348 /lib64/ld-2.14.90.so 7f8a45486000-7f8a45487000 rw-p 00022000 fd:00 2097348 /lib64/ld-2.14.90.so 7f8a45487000-7f8a45488000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fff6273b000-7fff6275c000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] 7fff627ff000-7fff62800000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vsyscall] Here, one could guess that 7f8a44492000-7f8a44c92000 is a stack since the earlier vma that has no permissions (7f8a44e3d000-7f8a4503d000) but that is not always a reliable way to find out which vma is a thread stack. Also, /proc/PID/maps and /proc/PID/task/TID/maps has the same content. With this patch in place, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps are treated as 'maps as the task would see it' and hence, only the vma that that task uses as stack is marked as [stack]. All other 'stack' vmas are marked as anonymous memory. /proc/PID/maps acts as a thread group level view, where all thread stack vmas are marked as [stack:TID] where TID is the process ID of the task that uses that vma as stack, while the process stack is marked as [stack].

pnfs-obj: autologin: Add support for protocol autologin

2012-03-21T13:31:47Z

The pnfs-objects protocol mandates that we autologin into devices not present in the system, according to information specified in the get_device_info returned from the server. The Protocol specifies two login hints. 1. An IP address:port combination 2. A string URI which is constructed as a URL with a protocol prefix followed by :// and a string as address. For each protocol prefix the string-address format might be different. We only support the second option. The first option is just redundant to the second one. NOTE: The Kernel part of autologin does not parse the URI string. It just channels it to a user-mode script. So any new login protocols should only update the user-mode script which is a part of the nfs-utils package, but the Kernel need not change. We implement the autologin by using the call_usermodehelper() API. (Thanks to Steve Dickson for pointing it out) So there is no running daemon needed, and/or special setup. We Add the osd_login_prog Kernel module parameters which defaults to: /sbin/osd_login Kernel try's to upcall the program specified in osd_login_prog. If the file is not found or the execution fails Kernel will disable any farther upcalls, by zeroing out osd_login_prog, Until Admin re-enables it by setting the osd_login_prog parameter to a proper program. Also add text about the osd_login program command line API to: Documentation/filesystems/nfs/pnfs.txt and documentation of the new osd_login_prog module parameter to: Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt TODO: Add timeout option in the case osd_login program gets stuck Signed-off-by: Sachin Bhamare Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust
