Multichannel patches

Multichannel patches

[Shyam Prasad N]

Made a bunch of fixes in mchan reconnect scenarios with these patches.
The reconnect codepath did not play well with mchan. Making it work
involved several changes described in the commits.

https://github.com/sprasad-microsoft/smb-kernel-client/commit/03059a751fa7315ecd44ad61342200d20ab3f0cb.patch
A trivial ref-counting fix in session find codepath.

https://github.com/sprasad-microsoft/smb-kernel-client/commit/2615c7300f93a7ae2d9350da25ed117492f8edbf.patch
Fixes in reconnect codepath, involving changes to introduce a
per-channel bitmask for a session, instead of a boolean, and to
reconnect the session only when we have all channels marked for
reconnect. This makes sessions more resilient in mchan scenarios.

https://github.com/sprasad-microsoft/smb-kernel-client/commit/5bcce1741beea482e770f1c25f4ff285a1505ca4.patch
Fix to get rid of the serialization of requests during channel
binding. This involved passing the channel server pointer to all
negotiate and session setup related functions. This has increased the
diff size, otherwise the changes are quite minimal.

https://github.com/sprasad-microsoft/smb-kernel-client/pull/4

P.S. There is a logic in cifs_reconnect to switch between the targets
for the server. I don't think these changes will break the DFS
scenario. The code will likely take effect only for when the primary
channel reconnects (as DFS server entries are cached with super block
as the key). Perhaps more changes will be needed there to also switch
between the targets for individual channels (maybe use superblock +
channel num as the key for caching entries?). Folks with better
knowledge than me with this code may want to check on this?

@Steve French It'll be good to let a few cycles of buildbot to run
with this code, before submitting to upstream. I have run a bunch of
tests with this. However, more soak time will be safer.

Hi Shyam,

We've already discussed how to go about it so your changes LGTM.
I've added some minor comments on your github pull request.

You need to talk with Paulo for this. He has just sent a rewrite of the
cache yday.

We need more tests on the buildbot so if you have things for mchan we
can run on it please add it there.

I don't think your changes would break it as well.  The super is only
used for providing cifs_sb_info::origin_fullpath as key to find the
corresponding failover targets in referral cache.

I can help you testing your changes with some DFS+multichannel failover
scenarios.

Re: Multichannel patches

[Steve French]

Looking through the PR - agree with Aurelien's comments (mostly minor)

Re: Multichannel patches

[Shyam Prasad N]

Thanks for the reviews.

While rebasing older changes, I missed a single line during the
channel add code, which had caused a regression.
Fixed it and merged with the correct patch here:
https://github.com/sprasad-microsoft/smb-kernel-client/pull/5

I've also integrated Aurelien's comments into these patches.
Also, I've a couple of minor patches here to fix fscache warnings for
multichannel and to integrate new changes into DebugData.
@Steve French Please use these new patches.

@Paulo Alcantara That would be great if you can help testing my
changes. Please test with these new changes.
> The super is only used for providing cifs_sb_info::origin_fullpath as key to find the corresponding failover targets in referral cache.
I'm wondering what would happen if there are multiple tcons to the
same origin_fullpath (possibly in different sessions)?
Also, doesn't failover targets apply to each channel under a session?
Shouldn't we switch targets on reconnect of secondary channels too?

Re: Multichannel patches

tentatively merged pending review and testing (after minor updates to
formatting in one patch)

buildbot run in progress on these 5 (and also includes Aurelien's small patch)

OK.

That is certainly a problem, indeed.  I'm waiting for the DFS tests to
finish and then send a series that contains a potential fix for that --
e.g. not sharing TCP servers when mounting DFS shares.  We used to not
share tcons with DFS mounts because they might contain different prefix
paths but connected to same share, however that wasn't enough because
multiple DFS mounts may connect to same target servers, although they
might failover to completely different servers.

> Also, doesn't failover targets apply to each channel under a session?

That's a interesting question.  I recall discussing this with Aurelien
some time ago while running a few DFS + multichannel tests.

So yes, I agree with you that when we successfully reconnect to failover
target (primary channel), then we should also update all secondary
channels with the new server's ip address and reconnect them.

Re: Multichannel patches

[Shyam Prasad N]

The buildbot testing once hit a deadlock when running with the above patches.
I found one possibility during cifs_reconnect, where a deadlock can occur.

I've fixed that and some warnings that kernel bots have identified in
the below two patches:

Re: Multichannel patches

[Shyam Prasad N]

Here's a revised list of patches with review comments and fixes:
https://github.com/sprasad-microsoft/smb-kernel-client/pull/7

Please consider this instead of the old patches submitted.

-------

Revised set of patches after reviews and fixes.

Made a bunch of fixes in mchan reconnect scenarios with these patches.
The reconnect codepath did not play well with mchan. Making it work
involved several changes described in the commits.

https://github.com/sprasad-microsoft/smb-kernel-client/commit/36016fc917bec3c324125c203dc1b8d58041ca26.patch
A trivial ref-counting fix in session find codepath.

https://github.com/sprasad-microsoft/smb-kernel-client/commit/6522de38368eaf11306b747e2235d75428fbf487.patch
Fixes in reconnect codepath, involving changes to introduce a
per-channel bitmask for a session, instead of a boolean, and to
reconnect the session only when we have all channels marked for
reconnect. This makes sessions more resilient in mchan scenarios.

https://github.com/sprasad-microsoft/smb-kernel-client/commit/7b591b0b9ea949fbf84bcc3676170fcb7fe8e7ac.patch
Fix to get rid of the serialization of requests during channel
binding. This involved passing the channel server pointer to all
negotiate and session setup related functions. This has increased the
diff size, otherwise the changes are quite minimal.
