2008-12-23optimize attribute timeouts for "noac" and "actimeo=0"Peter Staubach
Hi. I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0" mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were seeing in the file attributes. It turned out that this solution did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out. (With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always appear to be timed out.) In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one error in it. It is assuming that the cache is valid in the region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo]. The cache should be considered valid only in the region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo). With this change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally expected. This problem was previously addressed by special casing the attrtimeo == 0 case. However, since the problem is only an off- by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one error and thus, not require the special case.

2008-12-23SUNRPC: Remove the last remnant of the BKL...Trond Myklebust
Somehow, this escaped the previous purge. There should be no need to keep any extra locks in the XDR callbacks. The NFS client XDR code only writes into private objects, whereas all reads of shared objects are confined to fields that do not change, such as filehandles... Ditto for lockd, the NFSv2/v3 client mount code, and rpcbind. The nfsd XDR code may require the BKL, but since it does a synchronous RPC call from a thread that already holds the lock, that issue is moot.

2008-11-14CRED: Separate task security context from task_structDavid Howells
Separate the task security context from task_struct. At this point, the security data is temporarily embedded in the task_struct with two pointers pointing to it. Note that the Alpha arch is altered as it refers to (E)UID and (E)GID in entry.S via asm-offsets.

2008-11-14CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the SunRPC protocolDavid Howells
Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds. Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id(). Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be addressed by later patches.

2008-10-28SUNRPC: Fix potential race in put_rpccred()Trond Myklebust
We have to be careful when we try to unhash the credential in put_rpccred(), because we're not holding the credcache lock, so the call to rpcauth_unhash_cred() may fail if someone else has looked the cred up, and obtained a reference to it.

2008-10-28SUNRPC: Fix rpcauth_prune_expiredTrond Myklebust

2008-03-14SUNRPC: Add a helper rpcauth_lookup_generic_cred()Trond Myklebust
The NFSv4 protocol allows clients to negotiate security protocols on the fly in the case where an administrator on the server changes the export settings and/or in the case where we may have a filesystem migration event. Instead of having the NFS client code cache credentials that are tied to a particular AUTH method it is therefore preferable to have a generic credential that can be converted into whatever AUTH is in use by the RPC client when the read/write/sillyrename/... is put on the wire. We do this by means of the new "generic" credential, which basically just caches the minimal information that is needed to look up an RPCSEC_GSS, AUTH_SYS, or AUTH_NULL credential.

2008-03-14SUNRPC: Add an rpc_credop callback for binding a credential to an rpc_taskTrond Myklebust
We need the ability to treat 'generic' creds specially, since they want to bind instances of the auth cred instead of binding themselves. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2008-03-14SUNRPC: Add a generic RPC credentialTrond Myklebust

I can never remember what the function to register to receive VM pressure is called. I have to trace down from __alloc_pages() to find it. It's called "set_shrinker()", and it needs Your Help. 1) Don't hide struct shrinker. It contains no magic. 2) Don't allocate "struct shrinker". It's not helpful. 3) Call them "register_shrinker" and "unregister_shrinker". 4) Call the function "shrink" not "shrinker". 5) Reduce the 17 lines of waffly comments to 13, but document it properly.

2007-07-10SUNRPC: Fix a memory leak in the auth credcache codeTrond Myklebust
The leak only affects the RPCSEC_GSS caches, since they are the only ones that are dynamically allocated... Rename the existing rpcauth_free_credcache() to rpcauth_clear_credcache() in order to better describe its role, then add a new function rpcauth_destroy_credcache() that actually frees the cache in addition to clearing it out. Also move the call to destroy the credcache in gss_destroy() to come before the rpc upcall pipe is unlinked. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

2006-02-01SUNRPC: Move upcall out of auth->au_ops->crcreate()Trond Myklebust
This fixes a bug whereby if two processes try to look up the same auth_gss credential, they may end up creating two creds, and triggering two upcalls because the upcall is performed before the credential is added to the credcache. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2006-02-01SUNRPC: Fix a lock recursion in the auth_gss downcallTrond Myklebust
When we look up a new cred in the auth_gss downcall so that we can stuff the credcache, we do not want that lookup to queue up an upcall in order to initialise it. To do an upcall here not only redundant, but since we are already holding the inode->i_mutex, it will trigger a lock recursion. This patch allows rpcauth cache searches to indicate that they can cope with uninitialised credentials. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>

Currently we return -ENOMEM for every single failure to create a new auth. This is actually accurate for auth_null and auth_unix, but for auth_gss it's a bit confusing.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
