When we detect that we've crossed a mountpoint on the remote server, we
must take care not to use that inode to revalidate the fsid on our
current superblock. To do so, we label the inode as a remote mountpoint,
and check for that in nfs_update_inode().

NFS post-rpciod cleanups often involve tasks that cannot be safely
performed within the rpciod context (due to deadlock concerns). We
therefore add a dedicated NFS workqueue that can perform tasks like
cleaning up state after an interrupted NFSv4 open() call, or calling
put_nfs_open_context() after an asynchronous read or write call.

We can't allow rpc callback functions like task->tk_ops->rpc_call_prepare()
and task->tk_ops->rpc_call_done() to call mntput() in any way, since
that will cause a deadlock when the call to rpc_shutdown_client() attempts
to wait on 'task' to complete.
We can avoid the above deadlock by moving calls to mntput to
task->tk_ops->rpc_release() callback, since at that time the task will be
marked as completed, and so rpc_shutdown_client won't attempt to wait on
it.

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.

The nfs_wcc_update_inode() function omits logic to convert the type of
the NFS on-the-wire value of a file's size (__u64) to the type of file
size value stored in struct inode (loff_t, which is signed).
Everywhere else in the NFS client I checked already correctly converts the
file size type.
This effects only very large files.

Remove the bogus 'data_stable' check in nfs_update_inode. The

For one thing, the test NFS_ATTRTIMEO() == 0 makes no sense: we're
testing whether or not the cache timeout length is zero, which is totally
unrelated to the issue of whether or not we trust the file staleness.
Secondly, we do not want to retry the GETATTR once a file has been declared
stale by the server: we rather want to discard that inode as soon as
possible, since there are broken servers still in use out there that reuse
filehandles on new files.

I would like to discuss the idea that the current checks for attribute
timeout using time_after are inadequate for 32bit architectures, since
time_after works correctly only when the two timestamps being compared
are within 2^31 jiffies of each other. The signed overflow caused by
comparing values more than 2^31 jiffies apart will flip the result,
causing incorrect assumptions of validity.
2^31 jiffies is a fairly large period of time (~25 days) when compared
to the lifetime of most kernel data structures, but for long lived NFS
mounts that can sit idle for months (think that for some reason autofs
cannot be used), it is easy to compare inode attribute timestamps with
very disparate or even bogus values (as in when jiffies have wrapped
many times, where the comparison doesn't even make sense).
Currently the code tests for attribute timeout by simply adding the
desired amount of jiffies to the stored timestamp and comparing that
with the current timestamp of obtained attribute data with time_after.
This is incorrect, as it returns true for the desired timeout period
and another full 2^31 range of jiffies.
In testing with artificial jumps (several small jumps, not one big
crank) of the jiffies I was able to reproduce a problem found in a
server with very long lived NFS mounts, where attributes would not be
refreshed even after touching files and directories in the server:
Initial uptime:
03:42:01 up 6 min, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.12, 0.07
NFS volume is mounted and time is advanced:
03:38:09 up 25 days, 2 min, 0 users, load average: 1.22, 1.05, 1.08
# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:38 /local/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar
# touch /local/A/foo/bar
# ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:47 /local/A/foo/bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar
We can see the local mtime is updated, but the NFS mount still shows
the old value. The patch below makes it work:
Initial setup...
07:11:02 up 25 days, 1 min, 0 users, load average: 0.15, 0.03, 0.04

Hi.
Attached is a patch to modify the NFS client code to support
64 bit ino's, as appropriate for the system and the NFS
protocol version.
The code basically just expand the NFS interfaces for routines
which handle ino's from using ino_t to u64 and then uses the
fileid in the nfs_inode instead of i_ino in the inode. The
code paths that were updated are in the getattr method and
the readdir methods.
This should be no real change on 64 bit platforms. Since
the ino_t is an unsigned long, it would already be 64 bits
wide.
Thanx...
