Dai Ngo March 25, 2022, 4:34 a.m. UTC
Update nfs4_client to add:
 . cl_cs_client_state: courtesy client state
 . cl_cs_lock: spinlock to synchronize access to cl_cs_client_state
 . cl_cs_list: list used by laundromat to process courtesy clients

Modify alloc_client to initialize these fields.

These are mutually exclusive values, not bits that may set to 0 or 1, so
the three boolean columns are confusing.  I'd just structure the table
like:

	client state	meaning			where set
	0		Confirmed, active	Default
	CLIENT_COURTESY	Courtesy state....	nfs4_get_client_reaplist
	CLIENT_EXPIRED	Courtesy client to be..	nfs4_laundromat

etc.

By the way, where is a client returned to the normal (0) state?  That
has to happen at some point.

How is CLIENT_EXPIRED treated differently from cl_time == 0, and why?

Why are RECONNECTED clients discarded in so many cases?  (E.g. whenever
a bind_conn_to_session fails).

A priori I just don't see how it can be right to treat a reconnected
client in any way differently from an normal confirmed client.

Once we've told the client that its lease is still good, we have to
treat it like any other client, don't we?

For 4.1 courtesy client reconnects is detected in nfsd4_sequence,
nfsd4_bind_conn_to_session. For 4.0 courtesy client reconnects is
detected in set_client.

cl_time == 0 means the client is being destroyed (almost) immediately
either by the laundromat or force_expire_client.

CLIENT_EXPIRED means the client will be destroyed by the laundromat
and this depends on when the laundromat runs. When we set CLIENT_COURTESY
we don't clear cl_time since the client is not really expired yet.

We could replace CLIENT_EXPIRED with (cl_time == 0). However,
to set cl_time = 0 we need to acquire the nn->client_lock which
causes deadlock when we try to resolve lock conflicts
from nfs4_resolve_deny_conflicts_locked (fp->fi_lock -> nn_clientlock).
We use the cl_cs_lock to set CLIENT_EXPIRED.

find_in_sessionid_hashtbl: we discard the courtesy client when it
reconnects and there is error from nfsd4_get_session_locked. This
should be a rare condition so rather than reverting the client
state back to courtesy, it is simpler just to discard it.

nfsd4_create_session/find_confirmed_client: I think the only time
the courtesy client sends CREATE_SESSION, before sending the SEQUENCE
to reconnect after missing its leases, is when it wants to do clientid
trunking. This should be a rare condition so instead of dealing
with it we just do not allow it and discard the client for now.

nfsd4_destroy_clientid/find_confirmed_client: instead of destroy
the courtesy client here we just let the laundromat destroy it
as if the client already expired.

nfsd4_setclientid_confirm/find_confirmed_client: there should not
be any courtesy client found from nfsd4_setclientid_confirm, it
should be detected and discarded in nfsd4_setclientid.

Those are the places where NFSD54_CLIENT_RECONNECTED is set, which isn't
the question I asked.

That may be a rare situation, but I don't believe the behavior of
discarding the client in this case is correct.

We can't wave away incorrect behavior with "but it's rare".  Users with
heavy and/or unusual workloads hit rare conditions.  Clients may change
their behavior over time.  (E.g., trunking may become more common.)

"reconnected" simply means the client has gotten back in touch.

The server then has to decide whether to allow the client to
become active again or it needs to purge it. That decision
is different for each operation and minor version. Look for
"if (cl_cs_client_state == NFSD4_CLIENT_RECONNECTED)" for how
those choices are made.

Can you explain this? It's a courtesy client... the server can
decide it's expired at that point, can't it? IOW what breaks?

Again, my question was: when is cl_cs_client_state set back to 0?  As
far as I can tell, the answer is never.  That means, even long after the
client has reconnected, it's left in a weird state where it can be
suddenly expired for all sorts of reasons.

I'm not worried about courtesy clients, I'm worried about clients that
were courtesy clients but have since succesfully renewed their state.
Expiring them for a failed bind_conn_to_session isn't right.

Got it. Agreed, cl_cs_client_state should be reinitialized if
a courtesy client is transitioned back to "active".

Dai, would you add

+enum courtesy_client_state {
>>>	NFSD4_CLIENT_ACTIVE = 0,
+	NFSD4_CLIENT_COURTESY,
+	NFSD4_CLIENT_EXPIRED,
+	NFSD4_CLIENT_RECONNECTED,
+};

And set cl_cs_client_state to ACTIVE where the client is
allowed to transition back to being active?

I'm not clear then what the RECONNECTED->ACTIVE transition would be.

My feeling is that the RECONNECTED state shouldn't exist, and that there
should only be a transition of EXPIRED back to ACTIVE.

Audit the places that check for NFSD4_CLIENT_RECONNECTED.
Some of them will expire a reconnected client, some will
let it transition back to active. My impression from Dai
was that the server cannot transition a courtesy client
back to active in _every_ case.

If you can demonstrate that in every case where RECONNECTED
is found that a client should be transitioned to ACTIVE
rather than discarded, then yes, we should get rid of
RECONNECTED in favor of going from COURTESY -> ACTIVE.

fix in v19.

For the client to be truly active we need to create the client record.
We do not want to create the client record when we just detect that
the client reconnects because not all the callers want the client to
be active, we leave it for the callers to decide. Also some callers of
nfsd4_courtesy_clnt_expired hold the nn->client_lock so we can create
the client record there.

Leaving the NFSD4_CLIENT_RECONNECTED state set does not really
cause any functional problem since the RECONNECT state is meant
to used temporary within the context of the same request. But
I will reset the state back to NFSD4_CLIENT_ACTIVE for clarity.

This does not prevent the courtesy client from doing trunking in all
cases. It is only prevent the courtesy client from doing trunking without
first reconnect to the server.

I think this behavior is the same as if the server does not support courtesy
client; the server can expire the courtesy anytime it wants. If the
courtesy client reconnected successfully then by the time nfsd4_create_session/
find_confirmed_client is called the client already becomes active
so the server will process the request normally.

Also to handle cases when the courtesy client reconnects after it was in
EXPIRED state, we want to force the client to recover its state starting
with EXCHANGE_ID so we have to return BAD_SESSION on CREATE_SESSION request.

I'm not sure what you mean here.  All a client has to do to reconnect is
succesfully renew its lease.  That doesn't necessarily require calling
CREATE_SESSION again.

The client should not have to send EXCHANGE_ID.

For 4.1 the client renews its lease via the SEQUENCE, either stand-alone
or in a compound. Once the SEQUENCE completes successfully then the
subsequent CREATE_SESSION is processed normally. However, if the client
did not send the SEQUENCE first then server returns BAD_SESSION for the
CREATE_SESSION request.

For 4.1 the expired courtesy client must send EXCHANGE_ID to reconnect
to start new session. I don't see how the *expired* courtesy client can
access the export again without sending the EXCHANGE_ID. Attached is the
pcap that shows how the courtesy client recovers once it's in
CLIENT_EXPIRED state.

Oh, sorry, sure, we're talking about an actual expired client.  That's
fine.
