NFS: Fix up documentation warnings

2019-02-20T20:14:21Z

Fix up some compiler warnings about function parameters, etc not being correctly described or formatted. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

NFS: Ensure NFS writeback allocations don't recurse back into NFS.

2019-02-20T20:14:20Z

All the allocations that we can hit in the NFS layer and sunrpc layers themselves are already marked as GFP_NOFS, but we need to ensure that any calls to generic kernel functionality do the right thing as well. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

NFS: Pass error information to the pgio error cleanup routine

2019-02-20T20:14:20Z

Allow the caller to pass error information when cleaning up a failed I/O request so that we can conditionally take action to cancel the request altogether if the error turned out to be fatal. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust

NFS: Don't use page_file_mapping after removing the page

2019-02-12T20:56:28Z

If nfs_page_async_flush() removes the page from the mapping, then we can't use page_file_mapping() on it as nfs_updatepate() is wont to do when receiving an error. Instead, push the mapping to the stack before the page is possibly truncated.

mm: convert totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages variables to atomic

2018-12-28T20:11:47Z

totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function. Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating things. It was discussed in length here, https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

NFS/NFSD/SUNRPC: replace generic creds with 'struct cred'.

2018-12-19T18:52:46Z

SUNRPC has two sorts of credentials, both of which appear as "struct rpc_cred". There are "generic credentials" which are supplied by clients such as NFS and passed in 'struct rpc_message' to indicate which user should be used to authorize the request, and there are low-level credentials such as AUTH_NULL, AUTH_UNIX, AUTH_GSS which describe the credential to be sent over the wires. This patch replaces all the generic credentials by 'struct cred' pointers - the credential structure used throughout Linux. For machine credentials, there is a special 'struct cred *' pointer which is statically allocated and recognized where needed as having a special meaning. A look-up of a low-level cred will map this to a machine credential. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Acked-by: J. Bruce Fields Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker

NFS: move credential expiry tracking out of SUNRPC into NFS.

2018-12-19T18:52:45Z

NFS needs to know when a credential is about to expire so that it can modify write-back behaviour to finish the write inside the expiry time. It currently uses functions in SUNRPC code which make use of a fairly complex callback scheme and flags in the generic credientials. As I am working to discard the generic credentials, this has to change. This patch moves the logic into NFS, in part by finding and caching the low-level credential in the open_context. We then make direct cred-api calls on that. This makes the code much simpler and removes a dependency on generic rpc credentials. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker

NFS: Ensure we immediately start writeback on rescheduled writes

2018-07-26T20:25:25Z

If the writes are being rescheduled due to a pNFS error, then we really want to immediately start a new flush. The O_DIRECT code already does this, so we only need to worry about buffered writes. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust
