113aa838ec net: Rationalise email address: Network Specific Parts
Clean up the various different email addresses of mine listed in the code
to a single current and valid address. As Dave says his network merges
for 2.6.28 are now done this seems a good point to send them in where
they won't risk disrupting real changes.

b22602a673 SUNRPC: Ensure all transports set rq_xtime consistently
The RPC client uses the rq_xtime field in each RPC request to determine the
round-trip time of the request.  Currently, the rq_xtime field is
initialized by each transport just before it starts enqueing a request to
be sent.  However, transports do not handle initializing this value
consistently; sometimes they don't initialize it at all.

To make the measurement of request round-trip time consistent for all
RPC client transport capabilities, pull rq_xtime initialization into the
RPC client's generic transport logic.  Now all transports will get a
standardized RTT measure automatically, from:

  xprt_transmit()

to

  xprt_complete_rqst()

This makes round-trip time calculation more accurate for the TCP transport.
The socket ->sendmsg() method can return "-EAGAIN" if the socket's output
buffer is full, so the TCP transport's ->send_request() method may call
the ->sendmsg() method repeatedly until it gets all of the request's bytes
queued in the socket's buffer.

Currently, the TCP transport sets the rq_xtime field every time through
that loop so the final value is the timestamp just before the *last* call
to the underlying socket's ->sendmsg() method.  After this patch, the
rq_xtime field contains a timestamp that reflects the time just before the
*first* call to ->sendmsg().

This is consequential under heavy workloads because large requests often
take multiple ->sendmsg() calls to get all the bytes of a request queued.
The TCP transport causes the request to sleep until the remote end of the
socket has received enough bytes to clear space in the socket's local
output buffer.  This delay can be quite significant.

The method introduced by this patch is a more accurate measure of RTT
for stream transports, since the server can cause enough back pressure
to delay (ie increase the latency of) requests from the client.

Additionally, this patch corrects the behavior of the RDMA transport, which
entirely neglected to initialize the rq_xtime field.  RPC performance
metrics for RDMA transports now display correct RPC request round trip
times.

7c1d71cf56 SUNRPC: Don't disconnect more than once if retransmitting NFSv4 requests
NFSv4 requires us to ensure that we break the TCP connection before we're
allowed to retransmit a request. However in the case where we're
retransmitting several requests that have been sent on the same
connection, we need to ensure that we don't interfere with the attempt to
reconnect and/or break the connection again once it has been established.

We therefore introduce a 'connection' cookie that is bumped every time a
connection is broken. This allows requests to track if they need to force a
disconnection.

b6ddf64ffe SUNRPC: Fix up xprt_write_space()
The rest of the networking layer uses SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE to signal whether
or not we have someone waiting for buffer memory. Convert the SUNRPC layer
to use the same idiom.
Remove the unlikely()s in xs_udp_write_space and xs_tcp_write_space. In
fact, the most common case will be that there is nobody waiting for buffer
space.

SOCK_NOSPACE is there to tell the TCP layer whether or not the cwnd was
limited by the application window. Ensure that we follow the same idiom as
the rest of the networking layer here too.

Finally, ensure that we clear SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE once we wake up, so that
write_space() doesn't keep waking things up on xprt->pending.

change them at any time via the sysctls. Ensure that we check the port
boundaries every time we loop in xs_bind4/xs_bind6. Also ensure that if the
boundaries change, we only scan the ports a maximum of 2 times.

c1384c9c4c SUNRPC: fix hang due to eventd deadlock...
Brian Behlendorf writes:

The root cause of the NFS hang we were observing appears to be a rare
deadlock between the kernel provided usermodehelper API and the linux NFS
client.  The deadlock can arise because both of these services use the
generic linux work queues.  The usermodehelper API run the specified user
application in the context of the work queue.  And NFS submits both cleanup
and reconnect work to the generic work queue for handling.  Normally this
is fine but a deadlock can result in the following situation.

  - NFS client is in a disconnected state
  - [events/0] runs a usermodehelper app with an NFS dependent operation,
    this triggers an NFS reconnect.
  - NFS reconnect happens to be submitted to [events/0] work queue.

0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

65f27f3844 WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.

For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.

To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.

Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).

However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().

In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

 Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily).  Connectathon
 with UDP and TCP.  NFSv2/3 and NFSv4 mounting should be carefully checked.
 Probably need to rig a server where certain services aren't running, or
 that returns an error for some typical operation.

0210714834 SUNRPC: switchable buffer allocation
Add RPC client transport switch support for replacing buffer management
 on a per-transport basis.

 In the current IPv4 socket transport implementation, RPC buffers are
 allocated as needed for each RPC message that is sent.  Some transport
 implementations may choose to use pre-allocated buffers for encoding,
 sending, receiving, and unmarshalling RPC messages, however.  For
 transports capable of direct data placement, the buffers can be carved
 out of a pre-registered area of memory rather than from a slab cache.

 Test-plan:
 Millions of fsx operations.  Performance characterization with "sio" and
 "iozone".  Use oprofile and other tools to look for significant regression
 in CPU utilization.

c556b75496 SUNRPC: allow sunrpc.o to link when CONFIG_SYSCTL is disabled
The sunrpc module should build properly even when CONFIG_SYSCTL is
 disabled.

 Reported by Jan-Benedict Glaw.

 Test plan:
 Compile kernel with CONFIG_NFS as a module and built-in, and CONFIG_SYSCTL
 enabled and disabled.

03bf4b707e [PATCH] RPC: parametrize various transport connect timeouts
Each transport implementation can now set unique bind, connect,
 reestablishment, and idle timeout values.  These are variables,
 allowing the values to be modified dynamically.  This permits
 exponential backoff of any of these values, for instance.

 As an example, we implement exponential backoff for the connection
 reestablishment timeout.

 Test-plan:
 Destructive testing (unplugging the network temporarily).  Connectathon
 with UDP and TCP.

3167e12c0c [PATCH] RPC: make sure to get the same local port number when reconnecting
Implement a best practice: if the remote end drops our connection, try to
 reconnect using the same port number.  This is important because the NFS
 server's Duplicate Reply Cache often hashes on the source port number.
 If the client reuses the port number when it reconnects, the server's DRC
 will be more effective.

 Based on suggestions by Mike Eisler, Olaf Kirch, and Alexey Kuznetsky.

 Test-plan:
 Destructive testing.
