Reducing the number of slots in the session slot table requires
confirmation from the client.  This patch adds reduce_session_slots()
which starts the process of getting confirmation, but never calls it.
That will come in a later patch.

Before we can free a slot we need to confirm that the client won't try
to use it again.  This involves returning a lower cr_maxrequests in a
SEQUENCE reply and then seeing a ca_maxrequests on the same slot which
is not larger than we limit we are trying to impose.  So for each slot
we need to remember that we have sent a reduced cr_maxrequests.

To achieve this we introduce a concept of request "generations".  Each
time we decide to reduce cr_maxrequests we increment the generation
number, and record this when we return the lower cr_maxrequests to the
client.  When a slot with the current generation reports a low
ca_maxrequests, we commit to that level and free extra slots.

We use an 8 bit generation number (64 seems wasteful) and if it cycles
we iterate all slots and reset the generation number to avoid false matches.

When we free a slot we store the seqid in the slot pointer so that it can
be restored when we reactivate the slot.  The RFC can be read as
suggesting that the slot number could restart from one after a slot is
retired and reactivated, but also suggests that retiring slots is not
required.  So when we reactive a slot we accept with the next seqid in
sequence, or 1.

When decoding sa_highest_slotid into maxslots we need to add 1 - this
matches how it is encoded for the reply.

Again... ATOMIC is probably not what we want here, even if it is
only documentary.

And, I thought we determined that an unretired slot had a sequence
number that is reset. Why save the slot's seqid? If I'm missing
something, the comment here should be bolstered to explain it.

Personally, I think that resetting to 1 is the only sane choice. After
shrinking the slot table, either side is free to forget the slot
information. When the slot is resurrected, we need to treat it as a new
slot. Expecting the server to remember all seqids, and their cached
replies for all slots ever used on a session seems like an open-ended
mandate.

That said, I'm ok with the server being accepting here, in case there
are client implementations that have done it the other way. Some clear
guidance from the RFCs would sure be nice though.

Why not?  It might be called under a spinlock so GFP_KERNEL might trigger
a warning.

It isn't clear to me that we determined that - only the some people
asserted it.  Until the spec is clarified I think it is safest to be
cautious.

I find using GFP_ATOMIC here to be confusing -- it requests
allocation from special memory reserves and is to be used in
situations where allocation might result in system failure. That is
clearly not the case here, and the resulting memory allocation might
be long-lived.

I see the comment that says memory won't actually be allocated. I'm
not sure that's the way xa_store() works, however.

I don't immediately see another good choice, however. I can reach
out to Matthew and Liam and see if they have a better idea.

From what I've read, everyone else who responded has said "use one".
And they have provided enough spec quotations that 1 seems like the
right initial slot sequence number value, always.

You should trust Tom Talpey's opinion on this. He was directly
involved 25 years ago when sessions were invented in DAFS and then
transferred into the NFSv4.1 protocol.


> Until the spec is clarified I think it is safest to be cautious.

The usual line we draw for adding code/features/complexity is the
proposer must demonstrate a use case for it. So far I have not seen
a client implementation that needs a server to remember the sequence
number in a slot that has been shrunken and then re-activated.

Will this dead slot be subject to being freed by the session
shrinker?

But the proposed implementation accepts 1 in this case, and it
doesn't seem tremendously difficult to remove the "remember the
seqid" mechanism once it has been codified to everyone's
satisfaction. So I won't belabor the point.
