Currently if several items of work become available in quick succession,
that number of threads (if available) will be woken. By the time some
of them wake up another thread that was already cache-warm might have
come along and completed the work. Anecdotal evidence suggests as many
as 15% of wakes find nothing to do once they get to the point of
looking.
This patch changes svc_pool_wake_idle_thread() to wake the first thread
on the queue but NOT remove it. Subsequent calls will wake the same
thread. Once that thread starts it will dequeue itself and after
dequeueing some work to do, it will wake the next thread if there is more
work ready. This results in a more orderly increase in the number of
busy threads.
As a bonus, this allows us to reduce locking around the idle queue.
svc_pool_wake_idle_thread() no longer needs to take a lock (beyond
rcu_read_lock()) as it doesn't manipulate the queue, it just looks at
the first item.
The thread itself can avoid locking by using the new
llist_del_first_this() interface. This will safely remove the thread
itself if it is the head. If it isn't the head, it will do nothing.
If multiple threads call this concurrently only one will succeed. The
others will do nothing, so no corruption can result.
If a thread wakes up and finds that it cannot dequeue itself that means
either
- that it wasn't woken because it was the head of the queue. Maybe the
freezer woke it. In that case it can go back to sleep (after trying
to freeze of course).
- some other thread found there was nothing to do very recently, and
placed itself on the head of the queue in front of this thread.
It must check again after placing itself there, so it can be deemed to
be responsible for any pending work, and this thread can go back to
sleep until woken.
No code ever tests for busy threads any more. Only each thread itself
cares if it is busy. So svc_thread_busy() is no longer needed.

Functions which directly manipulate a 'struct rqst', such as
svc_rqst_alloc() or svc_rqst_release_pages(), can reasonably
have "rqst" in there name.
However functions that act on the running thread, such as
XX_should_sleep() or XX_wait_for_work() should seem more
natural with a "svc_thread_" prefix.
So make those changes.

With an llist we don't need to take a lock to add a thread to the list,
though we still need a lock to remove it. That will go in the next
patch.
Unlike double-linked lists, a thread cannot reliably remove itself from
the list. Only the first thread can be removed, and that can change
asynchronously. So some care is needed.
We already check if there is pending work to do, so we are unlikely to
add ourselves to the idle list and then want to remove ourselves again.
If we DO find something needs to be done after adding ourselves to the
list, we simply wake up the first thread on the list. If that was us,
we successfully removed ourselves and can continue. If it was some
other thread, they will do the work that needs to be done. We can
safely sleep until woken.
We also remove the test on freezing() from rqst_should_sleep(). Instead
we set TASK_FREEZABLE before scheduling. This makes is safe to
schedule() when a freeze is pending. As we now loop waiting to be
removed from the idle queue, this is a cleaner way to handle freezing.

Rather than searching a list of threads to find an idle one, having a
list of idle threads allows an idle thread to be found immediately.
This adds some spin_lock calls which is not ideal, but as the hold-time
is tiny it is still faster than searching a list. A future patch will
remove them using llist.h. This involves some subtlety and so is left
to a separate patch.
This removes the need for the RQ_BUSY flag. The rqst is "busy"
precisely when it is not on the "idle" list.

svc threads are currently stopped using kthread_stop(). This requires
identifying a specific thread. However we don't care which thread
stops, just as long as one does.
So instead, set a flag in the svc_pool to say that a thread needs to
die, and have each thread check this flag instead of calling
kthread_should_stop(). The first thread to find and clear this flag
then moves towards exiting.
This removes an explicit dependency on sp_all_threads which will make a
future patch simpler.

Using svc_recv() for (NFSv4.1) back-channel handling means we have just
one mechanism for waking threads.
Also change kthread_freezable_should_stop() in nfs4_callback_svc() to
kthread_should_stop() as used elsewhere.
kthread_freezable_should_stop() effectively adds a try_to_freeze() call,
and svc_recv() already contains that at an appropriate place.

The test robot complained that, in some build configurations, the
@error variable in bc_svc_process's only caller is set but never
used. This happens because dprintk() is the only consumer of that
value.
- Remove the dprintk() call sites in favor of the svc_process
tracepoint
- The @error variable and the return value of bc_svc_process() are
now unused, so get rid of them.
- The @serv parameter is set to rqstp->rq_serv by the only caller,
and bc_svc_process() then uses it only to set rqstp->rq_serv. It
can be removed.
- Rename bc_svc_process() according to the convention that
globally-visible RPC server functions have names that begin with
"svc_"; and because it is globally-visible, give it a proper
kdoc comment.

svc_get_next_xprt() does a lot more than just get an xprt. It also
decides if it needs to sleep, depending not only on the availability of
xprts but also on the need to exit or handle external work.
So rename it to svc_rqst_wait_for_work() and only do the testing and
waiting. Move all the waiting-related code out of svc_recv() into the
new svc_rqst_wait_for_work().
Move the dequeueing code out of svc_get_next_xprt() into svc_recv().
Previously svc_xprt_dequeue() would be called twice, once before waiting
and possibly once after. Now instead rqst_should_sleep() is called
twice. Once to decide if waiting is needed, and once to check against
after setting the task state do see if we might have missed a wakeup.

rpcauth_checkverf() should return a distinct error code when a
server recognizes the AUTH_TLS probe but does not support TLS so
that the client's header decoder can respond appropriately and
quickly. No retries are necessary is in this case, since the server

Currently, when GETDEVICEINFO returns multiple locations where each
is a different IP but the server's identity is same as MDS, then
nfs4_set_ds_client() finds the existing nfs_client structure which
has the MDS's max_connect value (and if it's 1), then the 1st IP
on the DS's list will get dropped due to MDS trunking rules. Other
IPs would be added as they fall under the pnfs trunking rules.
For the list of IPs the 1st goes thru calling nfs4_set_ds_client()
which will eventually call nfs4_add_trunk() and call into
rpc_clnt_test_and_add_xprt() which has the check for MDS trunking.
The other IPs (after the 1st one), would call rpc_clnt_add_xprt()
which doesn't go thru that check.
nfs4_add_trunk() is called when MDS trunking is happening and it
needs to enforce the usage of max_connect mount option of the
1st mount. However, this shouldn't be applied to pnfs flow.
Instead, this patch proposed to treat MDS=DS as DS trunking and
make sure that MDS's max_connect limit does not apply to the
1st IP returned in the GETDEVICEINFO list. It does so by
marking the newly created client with a new flag NFS_CS_PNFS
which then used to pass max_connect value to use into the
rpc_clnt_test_and_add_xprt() instead of the existing rpc
client's max_connect value set by the MDS connection.
For example, mount was done without max_connect value set
so MDS's rpc client has cl_max_connect=1. Upon calling into
rpc_clnt_test_and_add_xprt() and using rpc client's value,
the caller passes in max_connect value which is previously
been set in the pnfs path (as a part of handling
GETDEVICEINFO list of IPs) in nfs4_set_ds_client().
However, when NFS_CS_PNFS flag is not set and we know we
are doing MDS trunking, comparing a new IP of the same
server, we then set the max_connect value to the
existing MDS's value and pass that into
rpc_clnt_test_and_add_xprt().

This reverts commit 0701214cd6e66585a999b132eb72ae0489beb724.
The premise of this commit was incorrect. There are exactly 2 cases
where rpcauth_checkverf() will return an error:
1) If there was an XDR decode problem (i.e. garbage data).
2) If gss_validate() had a problem verifying the RPCSEC_GSS MIC.
In the second case, there are again 2 subcases:
a) The GSS context expires, in which case gss_validate() will force a
new context negotiation on retry by invalidating the cred.
b) The sequence number check failed because an RPC call timed out, and
the client retransmitted the request using a new sequence number,
as required by RFC2203.
In neither subcase is this a fatal error.

I'm thrilled to announce that the Linux in-kernel NFS server now
offers NFSv4 write delegations. A write delegation enables a client
to cache data and metadata for a single file more aggressively,
reducing network round trips and server workload. Many thanks to Dai
Ngo for contributing this facility, and to Jeff Layton and Neil
Brown for reviewing and testing it.
This release also sees the removal of all support for DES- and
triple-DES-based Kerberos encryption types in the kernel's SunRPC
implementation. These encryption types have been deprecated by the
Internet community for years and are considered insecure. This
change affects both the in-kernel NFS client and server.
The server's UDP and TCP socket transports have now fully adopted
David Howells' new bio_vec iterator so that no more than one
sendmsg() call is needed to transmit each RPC message. In
particular, this helps kTLS optimize record boundaries when sending
RPC-with-TLS replies, and it takes the server a baby step closer to
handling file I/O via folios.
We've begun work on overhauling the SunRPC thread scheduler to
remove a costly linked-list walk when looking for an idle RPC
service thread to wake. The pre-requisites are included in this
release. Thanks to Neil Brown for his ongoing work on this
improvement.

Based on its name you would think that rqst_should_sleep() would be
read-only, not changing anything. But in fact it will clear
SP_TASK_PENDING if that was set. This is surprising, and it blurs the
line between "check for work to do" and "dequeue work to do".
So change the "test_and_clear" to simple "test" and clear the bit once
the thread has decided to wake up and return to the caller.
With this, it makes sense to *always* set SP_TASK_PENDING when asked,
rather than to set it only if no thread could be woken up.
[ cel: Previously TASK_PENDING indicated there is work waiting but no
idle threads were found to pick up that work. After this patch, it acts
as an XPT_BUSY flag for wake-ups that have no associated xprt. ]

svc_xprt_enqueue() can be costly, since it involves selecting and
waking up a process.
More than one enqueue is done per incoming RPC. For example,
svc_data_ready() enqueues, and so does svc_xprt_receive(). Also, if
an RPC message requires more than one call to ->recvfrom() to
receive it fully, each one of those calls does an enqueue.
To get a sense of the average number of transport enqueue operations
needed to process an incoming RPC message, re-use the "packets" pool
stat. Track the number of complete RPC messages processed by each
thread pool.

Refactor: Extract the loop that finds an idle service thread from
svc_xprt_enqueue() and svc_wake_up(). Both functions do just about
the same thing.
Note that svc_wake_up() currently does not hold the RCU read lock
while waking the target thread. It indeed should hold the lock, just
as svc_xprt_enqueue() does, to ensure the rqstp does not vanish
during the wake-up. This patch adds the RCU lock for svc_wake_up().
Note that shrinking the pool thread count is rare, and calls to
svc_wake_up() are also quite infrequent. In practice, this race is
very unlikely to be hit, so we are not marking the lock fix for
stable backport at this time.

The xpt_flags field frequently changes between the time that
svc_xprt_ready() grabs a copy and execution flow arrives at the
tracepoint at the tail of svc_xprt_enqueue(). In fact, there's
usually a sleep/wake-up in there, so those flags are almost
guaranteed to be different.
It would be more useful to record the exact flags that were used to
decide whether the transport is ready, so move the tracepoint.
Moving it means the tracepoint can't pick up the waker's pid. That
can be added to struct svc_rqst if it turns out that is important.

Most svc threads have no interest in a timeout.
nfsd sets it to 1 hour, but this is a wart of no significance.
lockd uses the timeout so that it can call nlmsvc_retry_blocked().
It also sometimes calls svc_wake_up() to ensure this is called.
So change lockd to be consistent and always use svc_wake_up() to trigger
nlmsvc_retry_blocked() - using a timer instead of a timeout to
svc_recv().
And change svc_recv() to not take a timeout arg.
This makes the sp_threads_timedout counter always zero.

svc_recv() currently returns a 0 on success or one of two errors:
- -EAGAIN means no message was successfully received
- -EINTR means the thread has been told to stop
Previously nfsd would stop as the result of a signal as well as
following kthread_stop(). In that case the difference was useful: EINTR
means stop unconditionally. EAGAIN means stop if kthread_should_stop(),
continue otherwise.
Now threads only exit when kthread_should_stop() so we don't need the
distinction.

All callers of svc_recv() go on to call svc_process() on success.
Simplify callers by having svc_recv() do that for them.
This loses one call to validate_process_creds() in nfsd. That was
debugging code added 14 years ago. I don't think we need to keep it.

The original implementation of nfsd used signals to stop threads during
shutdown.
In Linux 2.3.46pre5 nfsd gained the ability to shutdown threads
internally it if was asked to run "0" threads. After this user-space
transitioned to using "rpc.nfsd 0" to stop nfsd and sending signals to
threads was no longer an important part of the API.
In commit 3ebdbe5203a8 ("SUNRPC: discard svo_setup and rename
svc_set_num_threads_sync()") (v5.17-rc1~75^2~41) we finally removed the
use of signals for stopping threads, using kthread_stop() instead.
This patch makes the "obvious" next step and removes the ability to
signal nfsd threads - or any svc threads. nfsd stops allowing signals
and we don't check for their delivery any more.
This will allow for some simplification in later patches.
A change worth noting is in nfsd4_ssc_setup_dul(). There was previously
a signal_pending() check which would only succeed when the thread was
being shut down. It should really have tested kthread_should_stop() as
well. Now it just does the latter, not the former.

With large NFS WRITE requests on TCP, I measured 5-10 thread wake-
ups to receive each request. This is because the socket layer
calls ->sk_data_ready() frequently, and each call triggers a
thread wake-up. Each recvmsg() seems to pull in less than 100KB.
Have the socket layer hold ->sk_data_ready() calls until the full
incoming message has arrived to reduce the wake-up rate.

Flamegraph analysis showed that the cork/uncork calls consume
nearly a third of the CPU time spent in svc_tcp_sendto(). The
other two consumers are mutex lock/unlock and svc_tcp_sendmsg().
Now that svc_tcp_sendto() coalesces RPC messages properly, there
is no need to introduce artificial delays to prevent sending
partial messages.
After applying this change, I measured a 1.2K read IOPS increase
for 8KB random I/O (several percent) on 56Gb IP over IB.

Commit da1661b93bf4 ("SUNRPC: Teach server to use xprt_sock_sendmsg
for socket sends") modified svc_udp_sendto() to use xprt_sock_sendmsg()
because we originally believed xprt_sock_sendmsg() would be needed
for TLS support. That does not actually appear to be the case.
In addition, the linkage between the client and server send code has
been a bit of a maintenance headache because of the distinct ways
that the client and server handle memory allocation.
Going forward, eventually the XDR layer will deal with its buffers
in the form of bio_vec arrays, so convert this function accordingly.
Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
There is now enough infrastructure in place to combine the stream
record marker into the biovec array used to send each outgoing RPC
message on TCP. The whole message can be more efficiently sent with
a single call to sock_sendmsg() using a bio_vec iterator.
Note that this also helps with RPC-with-TLS: the TLS implementation
can now clearly see where the upper layer message boundaries are.
Before, it would send each component of the xdr_buf (record marker,
head, page payload, tail) in separate TLS records.

Merge tag 'v6.6-vfs.ctime' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs,
xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant
filesystems.
The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime
and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems
to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per
jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.
Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
client decide to invalidate the cache.
Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support
a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp
granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps
(e.g., backup applications).
If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve
the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.
This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are
actively queried.
This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that
something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag
is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a
fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.
As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime
must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so
only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.
Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
coarse-grained timestamps.
Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included:
- Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime
together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all
maintainers provided necessary Acks.
- Add new accessors for inode->i_ctime directly and change all
callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode->i_ctime are now
gone and it is accordingly rename to inode->__i_ctime and commented
as requiring accessors.
- Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a
sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request
mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in.
- Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now
parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers.
- Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it
removing a bunch of open-coding"
