4ad9a344be nfsd4: fix v4 state shutdown error paths
If someone tries to shut down the laundry_wq while it isn't up it'll
cause an oops.

This can happen because write_ports can create a nfsd_svc before we
really start the nfs server, and we may fail before the server is ever
started.

Also make sure state is shutdown on error paths in nfsd_svc().

Use a common global nfsd_up flag instead of nfs4_init, and create common
helper functions for nfsd start/shutdown, as there will be other work
that we want done only when we the number of nfsd threads transitions
between zero and nonzero.

43a9aa64a2 NFSD: Fill in WCC data for REMOVE, RMDIR, MKNOD, and MKDIR
Some well-known NFSv3 clients drop their directory entry caches when
they receive replies with no WCC data.  Without this data, they
employ extra READ, LOOKUP, and GETATTR requests to ensure their
directory entry caches are up to date, causing performance to suffer
needlessly.

In order to return WCC data, our server has to have both the pre-op
and the post-op attribute data on hand when a reply is XDR encoded.
The pre-op data is filled in when the incoming fh is locked, and the
post-op data is filled in when the fh is unlocked.

Unfortunately, for REMOVE, RMDIR, MKNOD, and MKDIR, the directory fh
is not unlocked until well after the reply has been XDR encoded.  This
means that encode_wcc_data() does not have wcc_data for the parent
directory, so none is returned to the client after these operations
complete.

By unlocking the parent directory fh immediately after the internal
operations for each NFS procedure is complete, the post-op data is
filled in before XDR encoding starts, so it can be returned to the
client properly.

cba9ba4b90 nfsd4: fix delegation recall race use-after-free
When the rarely-used callback-connection-changing setclientid occurs
simultaneously with a delegation recall, we rerun the recall by
requeueing it on a workqueue.  But we also need to take a reference on
the delegation in that case, since the delegation held by the rpc itself
will be released by the rpc_release callback.

e4e83ea47b Revert "nfsd4: distinguish expired from stale stateids"
This reverts commit 78155ed75f.

We're depending here on the boot time that we use to generate the
stateid being monotonic, but get_seconds() is not necessarily.

We still depend at least on boot_time being different every time, but
that is a safer bet.

We have a few reports of errors that might be explained by this problem,
though we haven't been able to confirm any of them.

But the minor gain of distinguishing expired from stale errors seems not
worth the risk.

47cee541a4 nfsd: safer initialization order in find_file()
The alloc_init_file() first adds a file to the hash and then
initializes its fi_inode, fi_id and fi_had_conflict.

The uninitialized fi_inode could thus be erroneously checked by
the find_file(), so move the hash insertion lower.

The client_mutex should prevent this race in practice; however, we
eventually hope to make less use of the client_mutex, so the ordering
here is an accident waiting to happen.

I didn't find whether the same can be true for two other fields,
but the common sense tells me it's better to initialize an object
before putting it into a global hash table :)

that once I turn off e.g. NFSD-V4 this call returns -1 which is

2bc3c1179c nfsd4: bug in read_buf
When read_buf is called to move over to the next page in the pagelist
of an NFSv4 request, it sets argp->end to essentially a random
number, certainly not an address within the page which argp->p now
points to.  So subsequent calls to READ_BUF will think there is much
more than a page of spare space (the cast to u32 ensures an unsigned
comparison) so we can expect to fall off the end of the second
page.

We never encountered thsi in testing because typically the only
operations which use more than two pages are write-like operations,
which have their own decoding logic.  Something like a getattr after a
write may cross a page boundary, but it would be very unusual for it to
cross another boundary after that.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

91885258e8 nfsd: don't break lease while servicing a COMMIT
This is the second attempt to fix the problem whereby a COMMIT call
causes a lease break and triggers a possible deadlock.

The problem is that nfsd attempts to break a lease on a COMMIT call.
This triggers a delegation recall if the lease is held for a delegation.
If the client is the one holding the delegation and it's the same one on
which it's issuing the COMMIT, then it can't return that delegation
until the COMMIT is complete. But, nfsd won't complete the COMMIT until
the delegation is returned. The client and server are essentially
deadlocked until the state is marked bad (due to the client not
responding on the callback channel).

The first patch attempted to deal with this by eliminating the open of
the file altogether and simply had nfsd_commit pass a NULL file pointer
to the vfs_fsync_range. That would conflict with some work in progress
by Christoph Hellwig to clean up the fsync interface, so this patch
takes a different approach.

This declares a new NFSD_MAY_NOT_BREAK_LEASE access flag that indicates
to nfsd_open that it should not break any leases when opening the file,
and has nfsd_commit set that flag on the nfsd_open call.

For now, this patch leaves nfsd_commit opening the file with write
access since I'm not clear on what sort of access would be more
appropriate.
