The NFSACL patches introduced support for multiple RPC services listening on
the same transport. However, only the first of these services was registered
with portmapper. This was perfectly fine for nfsacl, as you traditionally do
not want these to show up in a portmapper listing.
The patch below changes the default behavior to always register all services
listening on a given transport, but retains the old behavior for nfsacl
services.

When we send a GRANTED_MSG call, we current copy the NLM cookie provided in
the original LOCK call - because in 1996, some broken clients seemed to rely
on this bug. However, this means the cookies are not unique, so that when the
client's GRANTED_RES message comes back, we cannot simply match it based on
the cookie, but have to use the client's IP address in addition. Which breaks
when you have a multi-homed NFS client.
The X/Open spec explicitly mentions that clients should not expect the same
cookie; so one may hope that any clients that were broken in 1996 have either
been fixed or rendered obsolete.

This was possibly meant to trigger early garbage collection but half the time

Speed up high call-rate workloads by caching the struct ip_map for the peer on
the connected struct svc_sock instead of looking it up in the ip_map cache
hashtable on every call. This helps workloads using AUTH_SYS authentication
over TCP.
Testing was on a 4 CPU 4 NIC Altix using 4 IRIX clients, each with 16
synthetic client threads simulating an rsync (i.e. recursive directory
listing) workload reading from an i386 RH9 install image (161480 regular files
in 10841 directories) on the server. That tree is small enough to fill in the
server's RAM so no disk traffic was involved. This setup gives a sustained
call rate in excess of 60000 calls/sec before being CPU-bound on the server.
Profiling showed strcmp(), called from ip_map_match(), was taking 4.8% of each
CPU, and ip_map_lookup() was taking 2.9%. This patch drops both contribution
into the profile noise.
Note that the above result overstates this value of this patch for most
workloads. The synthetic clients are all using separate IP addresses, so
there are 64 entries in the ip_map cache hash. Because the kernel measured
contained the bug fixed in commit
commit 1f1e030bf7
and was running on 64bit little-endian machine, probably all of those 64
entries were on a single chain, thus increasing the cost of ip_map_lookup().
With a modern kernel you would need more clients to see the same amount of
performance improvement. This patch has helped to scale knfsd to handle a
deployment with 2000 NFS clients.

As we plan to increase RPCSVC_MAXPAGES from 8 upto 256, we can no longer
allocate an array of this size on the stack. So we allocate it in 'struct
svc_rqst'.
However svc_rqst contains (indirectly) an array of the same type and size
(actually several, but they are in a union). So rather than waste space, we
move those arrays out of the separately allocated union and into svc_rqst to
share with the kvec moved out of svc_tcp_recvfrom (various arrays are used at
different times, so there is no conflict).

We are planning to increase RPCSVC_MAXPAGES from about 8 to about 256. This
means we need to be a bit careful about arrays of size RPCSVC_MAXPAGES.
struct svc_rqst contains two such arrays. However the there are never more
that RPCSVC_MAXPAGES pages in the two arrays together, so only one array is
needed.
The two arrays are for the pages holding the request, and the pages holding
the reply. Instead of two arrays, we can simply keep an index into where the
first reply page is.
This patch also removes a number of small inline functions that probably
server to obscure what is going on rather than clarify it, and opencode the
needed functionality.
Also remove the 'rq_restailpage' variable as it is *always* 0. i.e. if the
response 'xdr' structure has a non-empty tail it is always in the same pages
as the head.

It was obesrved that at least one older PCI card predating the
requirement for the TRDY signal to respond within 16 clock ticks actually
does not meet this rule nor even the power-on defaults of the PCI bridges
found in development systems built around the Broadcom SiByte SOCs. Here
is a patch that bumps up the timeout to the highest finite value supported
by these chips, which is 255 clock ticks. The bridges affected are the
SiByte SOC itself and the SP1011.
This change does not effectively affect systems only having PCI option
cards installed that meet the TRDY requirement of the current PCI spec.
The rule was introduced with PCI 2.1, so any older card may make the
system affected. If this is the case, performance of the system will
suffer in return for the card working at all. If this is a concern, then
the solution is not to use such cards.

Add a new sysfs interface that allows the bitmap of an array to be dirtied.
The interface is write-only, and is used as follows:
echo "1000" > /sys/block/md2/md/bitmap
(dirty the bit for chunk 1000 [offset 0] in the in-memory and on-disk
bitmaps of array md2)
echo "1000-2000" > /sys/block/md1/md/bitmap
(dirty the bits for chunks 1000-2000 in md1's bitmap)
This is useful, for example, in cluster environments where you may need to
combine two disjoint bitmaps into one (following a server failure, after a
secondary server has taken over the array). By combining the bitmaps on
the two servers, a full resync can be avoided (This was discussed on the
list back on March 18, 2005, "[PATCH 1/2] md bitmap bug fixes" thread).
