Somebody'll need to fix up pynfs. (I'm not volunteering for now.)

(I'm not volunteering for now.) > > I will fix it, since I broke it :-) By the way, I have three more notes on courtesy server stuff that I wanted to dump into email before I forget them: 1. I do still recommend fixing up those pynfs failures. The ones I see are in RENEW3, LKU10, CLOSE9, CLOSE8, but there may be others. 2. In the lock case, nfsd4_lock() holds an st_mutex while calling vfs_lock_file(), which may end up needing to wait for the laundromat. As I said in review, I don't see a potential deadlock there, so I'm fine with the code going in as is. But, as a note for possible cleanup, or if this does turn into a problem later: vfs_lock_file could return to nfsd4_lock(), and nfsd4_lock() could easily drop the st_mutex, wait, and retry. I think the only trick part would be deciding on conventions for the caller to tell vfs_lock_file() that it shouldn't wait in this case (non-nfsd callers will still want to wait), and for vfs_lock_file() to indicate the caller needs to retry. Probably something in fl_flags for the former, and an agreed-on error return for the latter? 3. One other piece of future work would be optimizing the conflicting lock case. A very premature optimization at this point, but I'm just leaving my notes here in case someone's interested: The loop in posix_lock_inode() is currently O(N^2) in the number of expirable clients holding conflicting locks, because each time we encounter one, we wait and then restart. In practice I doubt that matters--if you have a lot of clients to expire, the time rescanning the list will likely be trivial compared to the time spent waiting for nfsdcld to commit the expiry of each client to stable storage. *However*, it might be a more significant optimization if we first allowed more parallelism in nfsdcld. And that might also benefit some other cases (e.g., lots of clients reconnecting after a crash). We'd need paralle nfsdcld--no idea what that would involve--and I think it'd also help to update the kernel<->nfsdcld protocol with a separate commit operation, so that nfsd could issue a bunch of client changes and then a single commit to wait for them all. That done, we could modify the loop in vfs_lock_file() so that, in the case where multiple clients hold conflicting locks, the loop marks them all for expiry in one pass, then waits just once at the end. --b.

Hi Chuck, Bruce This series of patches implement the NFSv4 Courteous Server. A server which does not immediately expunge the state on lease expiration is known as a Courteous Server. A Courteous Server continues to recognize previously generated state tokens as valid until conflict arises between the expired state and the requests from another client, or the server reboots. v2: . add new callback, lm_expire_lock, to lock_manager_operations to allow the lock manager to take appropriate action with conflict lock. . handle conflicts of NFSv4 locks with NFSv3/NLM and local locks. . expire courtesy client after 24hr if client has not reconnected. . do not allow expired client to become courtesy client if there are waiters for client's locks. . modify client_info_show to show courtesy client and seconds from last renew. . fix a problem with NFSv4.1 server where the it keeps returning SEQ4_STATUS_CB_PATH_DOWN in the successful SEQUENCE reply, after the courtesy client reconnects, causing the client to keep sending BCTS requests to server. v3: . modified posix_test_lock to check and resolve conflict locks to handle NLM TEST and NFSv4 LOCKT requests. . separate out fix for back channel stuck in SEQ4_STATUS_CB_PATH_DOWN. v4: . rework nfsd_check_courtesy to avoid dead lock of fl_lock and client_lock by asking the laudromat thread to destroy the courtesy client. . handle NFSv4 share reservation conflicts with courtesy client. This includes conflicts between access mode and deny mode and vice versa. . drop the patch for back channel stuck in SEQ4_STATUS_CB_PATH_DOWN. v5: . fix recursive locking of file_rwsem from posix_lock_file. . retest with LOCKDEP enabled. v6: . merge witn 5.15-rc7 . fix a bug in nfs4_check_deny_bmap that did not check for matched nfs4_file before checking for access/deny conflict. This bug causes pynfs OPEN18 to fail since the server taking too long to release lots of un-conflict clients' state. . enhance share reservation conflict handler to handle case where a large number of conflict courtesy clients need to be expired. The 1st 100 clients are expired synchronously and the rest are expired in the background by the laundromat and NFS4ERR_DELAY is returned to the NFS client. This is needed to prevent the NFS client from timing out waiting got the reply. v7: . Fix race condition in posix_test_lock and posix_lock_inode after dropping spinlock. . Enhance nfsd4_fl_expire_lock to work with with new lm_expire_lock callback . Always resolve share reservation conflicts asynchrously. . Fix bug in nfs4_laundromat where spinlock is not used when scanning cl_ownerstr_hashtbl. . Fix bug in nfs4_laundromat where idr_get_next was called with incorrect 'id'. . Merge nfs4_destroy_courtesy_client into nfsd4_fl_expire_lock. v8: . Fix warning in nfsd4_fl_expire_lock reported by test robot. v9: . Simplify lm_expire_lock API by (1) remove the 'testonly' flag and (2) specifying return value as true/false to indicate whether conflict was succesfully resolved. . Rework nfsd4_fl_expire_lock to mark client with NFSD4_DESTROY_COURTESY_CLIENT then tell the laundromat to expire the client in the background. . Add a spinlock in nfs4_client to synchronize access to the NFSD4_COURTESY_CLIENT and NFSD4_DESTROY_COURTESY_CLIENT flag to handle race conditions when resolving lock and share reservation conflict. . Courtesy client that was marked as NFSD4_DESTROY_COURTESY_CLIENT are now consisdered 'dead', waiting for the laundromat to expire it. This client is no longer allowed to use its states if it reconnects before the laundromat finishes expiring the client. For v4.1 client, the detection is done in the processing of the SEQUENCE op and returns NFS4ERR_BAD_SESSION to force the client to re-establish new clientid and session. For v4.0 client, the detection is done in the processing of the RENEW and state-related ops and return NFS4ERR_EXPIRE to force the client to re-establish new clientid. v10: Resolve deadlock in v9 by avoiding getting cl_client and cl_cs_lock together. The laundromat needs to determine whether the expired client has any state and also has no blockers on its locks. Both of these conditions are allowed to change after the laundromat transits an expired client to courtesy client. When this happens, the laundromat will detect it on the next run and and expire the courtesy client. Remove client persistent record before marking it as COURTESY_CLIENT and add client persistent record before clearing the COURTESY_CLIENT flag to allow the courtesy client to transist to normal client to continue to use its state. Lock/delegation/share reversation conflict with courtesy client is resolved by marking the courtesy client as DESTROY_COURTESY_CLIENT, effectively disable it, then allow the current request to proceed immediately. Courtesy client marked as DESTROY_COURTESY_CLIENT is not allowed to reconnect to reuse itsstate. It is expired by the laundromat asynchronously in the background. Move processing of expired clients from nfs4_laudromat to a separate function, nfs4_get_client_reaplist, that creates the reaplist and also to process courtesy clients. Update Documentation/filesystems/locking.rst to include new lm_lock_conflict call. Modify leases_conflict to call lm_breaker_owns_lease only if there is real conflict. This is to allow the lock manager to resolve the delegation conflict if possible. v11: Add comment for lm_lock_conflict callback. Replace static const courtesy_client_expiry with macro. Remove courtesy_clnt argument from find_in_sessionid_hashtbl. Callers use nfs4_client->cl_cs_client boolean to determined if it's the courtesy client and take appropriate actions. Rename NFSD4_COURTESY_CLIENT and NFSD4_DESTROY_COURTESY_CLIENT with NFSD4_CLIENT_COURTESY and NFSD4_CLIENT_DESTROY_COURTESY. v12: Remove unnecessary comment in nfs4_get_client_reaplist. Replace nfs4_client->cl_cs_client boolean with NFSD4_CLIENT_COURTESY_CLNT flag. Remove courtesy_clnt argument from find_client_in_id_table and find_clp_in_name_tree. Callers use NFSD4_CLIENT_COURTESY_CLNT to determined if it's the courtesy client and take appropriate actions. v13: Merge with 5.17-rc3. Cleanup Documentation/filesystems/locking.rst: replace i_lock with flc_lock, update API's that use flc_lock. Rename lm_lock_conflict to lm_lock_expired().

Redo based on Bruce's suggestion by breaking the patches into functionality and also don't remove client record of courtesy client until the client is actually expired. 0001: courteous server framework with support for client with delegation only. This patch also handles COURTESY and EXPIRABLE reconnect. Conflict is resolved by set the courtesy client to EXPIRABLE, let the laundromat expires the client on next run and return NFS4ERR_DELAY OPEN request. 0002: add support for opens/share reservation to courteous server Conflict is resolved by set the courtesy client to EXPIRABLE, let the laundromat expires the client on next run and return NFS4ERR_DELAY OPEN request. 0003: mv creation/destroying laundromat workqueue from nfs4_state_start and and nfs4_state_shutdown_net to init_nfsd and exit_nfsd. 0004: fs/lock: add locks_owner_has_blockers helper 0005: add 2 callbacks to lock_manager_operations for resolving lock conflict 0006: add support for locks to courteous server, making use of 0004 and 0005 Conflict is resolved by set the courtesy client to EXPIRABLE, run the laundromat immediately and wait for it to complete before returning to fs/lock code to recheck the lock list from the beginning. NOTE: I could not get queue_work/queue_delay_work and flush_workqueue to work as expected, I have to use mod_delayed_work and flush_workqueue to get the laundromat to run immediately. When we check for blockers in nfs4_anylock_blockers, we do not check for client with delegation conflict. This is because we already hold the client_lock and to check for delegation conflict we need the state_lock and scanning the del_recall_lru list each time. So to avoid this overhead and potential deadlock (not sure about lock of ordering of these locks) we check and set the COURTESY client with delegation being recalled to EXPIRABLE later in nfs4_laundromat. 0007: show state of courtesy client in client info. v22: . modify 0001: . allow EXPIRABLE client to reconnect. . modify try_to_expire_client to return false if cl_state is either COURTEY or EXPIRABLE. . remove try_to_activate_client and set cl_state to ACTIVE in get_client_locked and renew_client_locked. . remove unnecessary cl_cs_lock. Synchronization between expiring client and client reconnect is provided by mark_client_expired_locked and get_client_locked or renew_client_locked . modify 0003: . fix 'ld' error with laundry_wq when CONFIG_NFSD is defined and CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is not defined. v23: . rework try_to_expire_client to return true when cl_state in EXPIRABLE and its callers to work accordingly. . add missing mod_delay_work in nfsd4_lm_lock_expirable. . add check for cl_rpc_users before setting client state to COURTESY in nfs4_get_client_reaplist. . setting client to COURTESY before nfs4_anylock_blockers to handle race between the laundromat and thread resolving lock conflict. . cleanup 2 fs/lock callbacks: lm_lock_expirable to return bool and lm_expire_lock takes no argument. v24: . add new counter, cl_delegs_in_recall, in nfs4_client to maintain delegation recalls and is checked by nfs4_anylock_blockers. . remove resolve_lock_conflict_locked and move its logic into the callers posix_lock_inode and posix_test_lock for clarity. . rename 'conflict' to 'resolvable' in nfs4_resolve_deny_conflicts_locked. . fix kernel robot test warning about missing semicolon in nfsd.h v25: . drop clearing of dl_recalled in nfsd_change_deleg_cb. . simplify posix_lock_inode and posix_test_lock. Lock manager code is expected to provide all required fields in lock_manager_operations for handling lock conflict . revert client_info_show to show seconds from last renew. . add 'Reviewed-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@fieldses.org>' to the patch series.
