d45273ed6f NFS: Clean up address comparison in __nfs_find_client()
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.

0eb2574121 NFS: Ensure that NFS version 4 mounts use NFS_PORT if nfsport wasn't set
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.

28c494c5c8 NFS: Prevent nfs_getattr() hang during heavy write workloads
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.

8a8c74bf94 NFS: Ensure nfs_wcc_update_inode always converts file size to loff_t
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.

e6e21970ba NFSv4: Fix open_to_lock_owner sequenceid allocation...
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.

Looking at the code, it would seem that taking the clp->cl_sem in
nfs4_kill_renewd is completely redundant, since we're already guaranteed to
have exclusive access to the nfs_client (we're shutting down).

This seems to be caused by use of an uninitialised structure due to NULL
options being passed to nfs_validate_mount_data().  Ensure that the
parsed mount data is always initialised.

4c1fe2f78a kernel BUG at fs/nfs/namespace.c:108! - can be triggered by bad server
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.

b09b9417d0 NFS: Fix the ustat() regression
Since 2.6.18, the superblock sb->s_root has been a dummy dentry with a
dummy inode. This breaks ustat(), which actually uses sb->s_root in a
vfstat() call.

Fix this by making the s_root a dummy alias to the directory inode that was
used when creating the superblock.

432409eebc NFS: Fix for bug in handling of errors for O_DIRECT writes
Commit eda3cef8dd ("NFS: Fix error
handling in nfs_direct_write_result()") ensured that if a WRITE returns
an error, then data->res.verf->committed is not tested (as it is not
initialised).

Then commit 60fa3f769f ("NFS: Fix two bugs
in the O_DIRECT write code") inadvertently reverted this while fixing
other problems.

So move the test so that we never examine ->committed in an error case,
and fix a speeling error while we are there.
