The address comparison in the __nfs_find_client() function is deceptive.
It uses a memcmp() to check a pair of u32 fields for equality. Not only is
this inefficient, but usually memcmp() is used for comparing two *whole*
sockaddr_in's (which includes comparisons of the address family and port
number), so it's easy to mistake the comparison here for a whole sockaddr
comparison, which it isn't.
So for clarity and efficiency, we replace the memcmp() with a simple test
for equality between the two s_addr fields. This should have no
behavioral effect.

Text-based mount option parsing introduced a minor regression in the
behavior of NFS version 4 mounts. NFS version 4 is not supposed to require
a running rpcbind service on the server in order for a mount to succeed.
In other words, if the mount options don't specify a port number, the port
number is supposed to default to 2049. For earlier versions of NFS, the
default port number was zero in order to cause the RPC client to autobind
to the server's NFS service.

POSIX requires that ctime and mtime, as reported by the stat(2) call,
reflect the activity of the most recent write(2). To that end, nfs_getattr()
flushes pending dirty writes to a file before doing a GETATTR to allow the
NFS server to set the file's size, ctime, and mtime properly.
However, nfs_getattr() can be starved when a constant stream of application
writes to a file prevents nfs_wb_nocommit() from completing. This usually
results in hangs of programs doing a stat against an NFS file that is being
written. "ls -l" is a common victim of this behavior.
To prevent starvation, hold the file's i_mutex in nfs_getattr() to
freeze applications writes temporarily so the client can more quickly obtain
clean values for a file's size, mtime, and ctime.

NFSv4 file locking is currently completely broken since it doesn't respect
the OPEN sequencing when it is given an unconfirmed lock_owner and needs to
do an open_to_lock_owner. Worse: it breaks the sunrpc rules by doing a
GFP_KERNEL allocation inside an rpciod callback.
Fix is to preallocate the open seqid structure in nfs4_alloc_lockdata if we
see that the lock_owner is unconfirmed.
Then, in nfs4_lock_prepare() we wait for either the open_seqid, if
the lock_owner is still unconfirmed, or else fall back to waiting on the
standard lock_seqid.

Hi Trond,
I have discovered that the BUG_ON in nfs_follow_mountpoint:
BUG_ON(IS_ROOT(dentry));
can be triggered by a misbehaving server.
What happens is the client does a lookup and discoveres that the named
directory has a different fsid, so it initiates a mount.
It then performs a GETATTR on the mounted directory and gets a
different fsid again (due to a bug in the NFS server).
This causes nfs_follow_mountpoint to be called on the newly mounted
root, which triggers the BUG_ON.
To duplicate this, have a directory which contains some mountpoints,
and export that directory with the "crossmnt" flag using nfs-utils
1.1.1 (or 1.1.0 I think)
The GETATTR on the root of the mounted filesystem will return the
information for the top exportpoint, while a lookup will return the
correct information. This difference causes the NFS client to BUG.
I think the best way to fix this is to trap this possibility early, so
just before completing the mount in the NFS client, check that it isn't
going to use nfs_mountpoint_inode_operations.
As long as i_op will never change once set (is that true?), this
should be adequately safe.
The following patch shows a possible approach, and it works for me.
i.e. when the NFS server is misbehaving, I get ESTALE on those
mountpoints, while when the NFS server is working correctly, I get
correct behaviour on the client.

We cannot zero the user page in nfs_mark_uptodate() any more, since
a) We'd be modifying the page without holding the page lock
b) We can race with other updates of the page, most notably
because of the call to nfs_wb_page() in nfs_writepage_setup().
Instead, we do the zeroing in nfs_update_request() if we see that we're
creating a request that might potentially be marked as up to date.

These patches aim to improve balance_dirty_pages() and directly address three
issues:
1) inter device starvation
2) stacked device deadlocks
3) inter process starvation
1 and 2 are a direct result from removing the global dirty limit and using
per device dirty limits. By giving each device its own dirty limit is will
no longer starve another device, and the cyclic dependancy on the dirty limit
is broken.
In order to efficiently distribute the dirty limit across the independant
devices a floating proportion is used, this will allocate a share of the total
limit proportional to the device's recent activity.
3 is done by also scaling the dirty limit proportional to the current task's
recent dirty rate.

We were intending to put the previous instance of delegation->cred
before setting a new one.
Thanks to David Howells for spotting this.

The __mandatory_lock(inode) macro makes the same check, but makes the code
more readable.

This boot parameter will allow legacy 32-bit applications which call stat()
to continue to function even if the NFSv3/v4 server uses 64-bit inode
numbers.

If the cached attributes match the ones supplied in the fattr, then assume
we've revalidated the inode.

We're failing basic test6 against Linux servers because they lack a correct
change attribute. The fix is to assume that we always want to invalidate
the readdir caches when we call update_changeattr and/or
nfs_post_op_update_inode on a directory.

nfs_post_op_update_inode() is really only meant to be used if we expect the
inode and its attributes to have changed in some way.

- NFS_READTIME, NFS_CHANGE_ATTR are completely unused.
- Inline the few remaining uses of NFS_ATTRTIMEO, and remove.

LOOKUP returns the directory post-op attributes whether or not the
operation was successful.

We don't need to call nfs_revalidate_inode() on the directory if we already
know that the verifiers don't match.

The lower level routines in fs/nfs/proc.c, fs/nfs/nfs3proc.c and
fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c should already be dealing with the revalidation issues.

The fact that we're in the process of modifying the inode does not mean
that we should not invalidate the attribute and data caches. The defensive
thing is to always invalidate when we're confronted with inode
mtime/ctime or change_attribute updates that we do not immediately
recognise.

If the ->lookup() call causes the directory verifier to change, then there
is still no need to use the old verifier, since our dentry has been
verified.

If nfs_post_op_update_inode fails because the server didn't return any
attributes, then we let the subsequent inode revalidation update
cache_change_attribute.

The attribute revalidation code will already have taken care of resetting
nfsi->cache_change_attribute.
