This patch creates a new idmapper system that uses the request-key function to
place a call into userspace to map user and group ids to names.  The old
idmapper was single threaded, which prevented more than one request from running
at a single time.  This means that a user would have to wait for an upcall to
finish before accessing a cached result.

The upcall result is stored on a keyring of type id_resolver.  See the file
Documentation/filesystems/nfs/idmapper.txt for instructions.

In nfs_open_revalidate(), if the open_context() call returns an inode that
is not the same as dentry->d_inode, then we will call
put_nfs_open_context() with a valid dentry->d_inode, but without the
context being part of the nfsi->open_files list.

In this case too, we want to just skip the list removal, but we do want to
call the ->close_context() callback in order to close the NFSv4 state.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  bloc...

If the NFS_INO_REVAL_FORCED flag is set, that means that we don't yet have
an up to date attribute cache. Even if we hold a delegation, we must
put a GETATTR on the wire.

Now that we have correct COMMIT semantics in writeback_single_inode, we can
reduce and simplify nfs_wb_all(). Also replace nfs_wb_nocommit() with a
call to filemap_write_and_wait(), which doesn't need to hold the
inode->i_mutex.

With that done, we can eliminate nfs_write_mapping() altogether.

Similar to the fsync issue fixed a while ago in commit
2daea67e

 we need to write for data to
actually hit the disk before writing out the metadata to guarantee
data integrity for filesystems that modify the inode in the data I/O
completion path.  Currently XFS and NFS handle this manually, and AFS
has a write_inode method that does nothing but waiting for data, while
others are possibly missing out on this.

Fortunately this change has a lot less impact than the fsync change
as none of the write_inode methods starts data writeout of any form
by itself.

For NFSv2 and v3:

O_DIRECT writes are always synchronous, and aren't cached, so nothing
should be flushed when closing an NFS O_DIRECT file descriptor.  Thus
there are no write errors to report on close(2).

In addition, there's no cached data to verify on the next open(2),
so we don't need clean GETATTR results at close time to compare with.

Thus, there's no need for the nfs_revalidate_inode() call when closing
an NFS O_DIRECT file.  This reduces the number of synchronous
on-the-wire requests for a simple open-write-close of an NFS O_DIRECT
file by roughly 20%.

For NFSv4:

Call nfs4_do_close() with wait set to zero when closing an NFS
O_DIRECT file.  The CLOSE will go on the wire, but the application
won't wait for it to complete.

The NFSv4 and NFSv4.1 protocols both allow for the redirection of a client
from one server to another in order to support filesystem migration and
replication. For full protocol support, we need to add the ability to
convert a DNS host name into an IP address that we can feed to the RPC
client.

We'll reuse the sunrpc cache, now that it has been converted to work with
rpc_pipefs.

If the NFSv4 server doesn't support a POSIX attribute, the generic NFS code
needs to know that, so that it don't keep trying to poll for it.

However, by the same count, if the NFSv4 server does support that
attribute, then we should ensure that the inode metadata is appropriately
labelled as being untrusted. For instance, if we don't know the correct
value of the file's uid, we should certainly not be caching ACLs or ACCESS
results.

The following patch is a combination of a patch by myself and Peter
Staubach.

Trond: If we allow other processes to dirty pages while a process is doing
a consistency sync to disk, we can end up never making progress.

Peter: Attached is a patch which addresses a continuing problem with
the NFS client generating out of order WRITE requests.  While
this is compliant with all of the current protocol
specifications, there are servers in the market which can not
handle out of order WRITE requests very well.  Also, this may
lead to sub-optimal block allocations in the underlying file
system on the server.  This may cause the read throughputs to
be reduced when reading the file from the server.

Peter: There has been a lot of work recently done to address out of
order issues on a systemic level.  However, the NFS client is
still susceptible to the problem.  Out of order WRITE
requests can occur when pdflush is in the middle of writing
out pages while the process dirtying the pages calls
generic_file_buffered_write which calls
generic_perform_write which calls
balance_dirty_pages_rate_limited which ends up calling
writeback_inodes which ends up calling back into the NFS
client to writes out dirty pages for the same file that
pdflush happens to be working with.

Currently, filling struct nfs_fattr is more or less an all or nothing
operation, since NFSv2 and NFSv3 have only mandatory attributes.
In NFSv4, some attributes are optional, and so we may simply not be able to
fill in those fields. Furthermore, NFSv4 allows you to specify which
attributes you are interested in retrieving, thus permitting you to
optimise away retrieval of attributes that you know will no change...

If cached directory contents becomes incorrect, there is no way to
flush the contents.  This contrasts with files where file locking is
the recommended way to ensure cache consistency between multiple
applications (a read-lock always flushes the cache).

Also while changes to files often change the size of the file (thus
triggering a cache flush), changes to directories often do not change
the apparent size (as the size is often rounded to a block size).

So it is particularly important with directories to avoid the
possibility of an incorrect cache wherever possible.

When the link count on a directory changes it implies a change in the
number of child directories, and so a change in the contents of this
directory.  So use that as a trigger to flush cached contents.

When the ctime changes but the mtime does not, there are two possible
reasons.
 1/ The owner/mode information has been changed.
 2/ utimes has been used to set the mtime backwards.

In the first case, a data-cache flush is not required.
In the second case it is.

So on the basis that correctness trumps performance, flush the
directory contents cache in this case also.

Hi.

I've been looking at a bugzilla which describes a problem where
a customer was advised to use either the "noac" or "actimeo=0"
mount options to solve a consistency problem that they were
seeing in the file attributes.  It turned out that this solution
did not work reliably for them because sometimes, the local
attribute cache was believed to be valid and not timed out.
(With an attribute cache timeout of 0, the cache should always
appear to be timed out.)

In looking at this situation, it appears to me that the problem
is that the attribute cache timeout code has an off-by-one
error in it.  It is assuming that the cache is valid in the
region, [read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo].  The
cache should be considered valid only in the region,
[read_cache_jiffies, read_cache_jiffies + attrtimeo).  With this
change, the options, "noac" and "actimeo=0", work as originally
expected.

This problem was previously addressed by special casing the
attrtimeo == 0 case.  However, since the problem is only an off-
by-one error, the cleaner solution is address the off-by-one
error and thus, not require the special case.

    Thanx...
