[PATCH 5/5] nfsd: just keep single lockd reference for nfsd (try #4)

[PATCH 5/5] nfsd: just keep single lockd reference for nfsd (try #4)

[Jeff Layton]

Right now, nfsd keeps a lockd reference for each socket that it has
open. This is unnecessary and complicates the error handling on startup
and shutdown. Change it to just do a lockd_up when starting the first
nfsd thread just do a single lockd_down when taking down the last nfsd
thread. Because of the strange way the sv_count is handled, this
requires an extra flag to tell whether the nfsd_serv holds a reference
for lockd or not.

This patch also changes the error handling in nfsd_create_serv a bit
too. There doesn't seem to be any need to reset the nfssvc_boot time if
the nfsd startup failed.

Note though that this does change the user-visible behavior slightly.
Today, a lockd_up is done whenever a socket fd is handed off to the
kernel. With this change, lockd is brought up as soon as the first
thread is started. I think this makes more sense. If there are problems
in userspace, the old scheme had the possibility to start lockd long
before any nfsd threads were started. This patch helps minimize that
possibility.

The nfs4 state startup has the same problem that I think lockd_up was
designed to solve.

There's a bunch of stuff that only makes sense to run when nrthreads
transitions from zero to nonzero, or vice-versa; so, if we stick them
all in one helper function I think it's cleaner and solves another minor
startup bug.  Something like this?

(Incremental on top of your last patch, with some noise due to moving
stuff around to avoid forward references.  I'll clean these up and
resend.)

Then we could also get rid of some of the individual flags (nfs4_init at
least), I think.

[PATCH 1/7] nfsd4: fix v4 state shutdown error paths

[J. Bruce Fields]

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>

If someone tries to shut down the laundry_wq while it isn't up it'll
cause an oops.

This can happen because write_ports can create a nfsd_svc before we
really start the nfs server, and we may fail before the server is ever
started.

Also make sure state is shutdown on error paths in nfsd_svc().

Use a common global nfsd_up flag instead of nfs4_init, and create common
helper functions for nfsd start/shutdown, as there will be other work
that we want done only when we the number of nfsd threads transitions
between zero and nonzero.

[PATCH 2/7] nfsd: fix error handling when starting nfsd with rpcbind down

[J. Bruce Fields]

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>

The refcounting for nfsd is a little goofy. What happens is that we
create the nfsd RPC service, attach sockets to it but don't actually
start the threads until someone writes to the "threads" procfile. To do
this, __write_ports_addfd will create the nfsd service and then will
decrement the refcount when exiting but won't actually destroy the
service.

This is fine when there aren't errors, but when there are this can
cause later attempts to start nfsd to fail. nfsd_serv will be set,
and that causes __write_versions to return EBUSY.

Fix this by calling svc_destroy on nfsd_serv when this function is
going to return error.

[PATCH 3/7] nfsd: fix error handling in __write_ports_addxprt

[J. Bruce Fields]

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>

__write_ports_addxprt calls nfsd_create_serv. That increases the
refcount of nfsd_serv (which is tracked in sv_nrthreads). The service
only decrements the thread count on error, not on success like
__write_ports_addfd does, so using this interface leaves the nfsd
thread count high.

Fix this by having this function call svc_destroy() on error to release
the reference (and possibly to tear down the service) and simply
decrement the refcount without tearing down the service on success.

This makes the sv_threads handling work basically the same in both
__write_ports_addxprt and __write_ports_addfd.

[PATCH 4/7] nfsd: clean up nfsd_create_serv error handling

[J. Bruce Fields]

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>

There doesn't seem to be any need to reset the nfssvc_boot time if the
nfsd startup failed.

[PATCH 5/7] nfsd: just keep single lockd reference for nfsd

[J. Bruce Fields]

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>

Right now, nfsd keeps a lockd reference for each socket that it has
open. This is unnecessary and complicates the error handling on
startup and shutdown. Change it to just do a lockd_up when starting
the first nfsd thread just do a single lockd_down when taking down the
last nfsd thread. Because of the strange way the sv_count is handled
this requires an extra flag to tell whether the nfsd_serv holds a
reference for lockd or not.

[PATCH 6/7] nfsd: move more into nfsd_startup()

This is just cleanup--it's harmless to call nfsd_rachache_init,
nfsd_init_socks, and nfsd_reset_versions more than once.  But there's no
point to it.

The nfs4 state startup has the same problem that I think lockd_up was
designed to solve.

There's a bunch of stuff that only makes sense to run when nrthreads
transitions from zero to nonzero, or vice-versa; so, if we stick them
all in one helper function I think it's cleaner and solves another minor
startup bug.  Something like this?

(Incremental on top of your last patch, with some noise due to moving
stuff around to avoid forward references.  I'll clean these up and
resend.)

Then we could also get rid of some of the individual flags (nfs4_init at
least), I think.

Yeah, but those sockets are all cleaned up when nfsd_serv is destroyed,
so I think we can live with this.

I think you're right. Note however that Bruce is just moving this
function around to avoid a forward declaration.

FWIW, I don't think this code is really used anymore -- at least
not with any reasonably modern rpc.nfsd program. Those all "hand off"
sockets explicitly to the kernel before bringing up threads, and the
sv_permsocks check short circuits that code.

So, this really amounts to a legacy interface and I'm not sure that we
want to go to any lengths to fix it.

I gave them some basic smoke testing and looked them over and they seem
to be ok. Unfortunately, I don't really have an exhaustive test for
this sort of thing, but it does seem to fix the problem that
was originally reported to me.

I also experimented a little with bringing nfs and rpcbind up and down
and didn't see any problems.

Applied for 2.6.36.
