2019-04-26SUNRPC: Use namespace of listening daemon in the client AUTH_GSS upcallTrond Myklebust
When the client needs to talk to rpc.gssd, we should ensure that the uid argument is encoded to match the user namespace of the daemon. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com> Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@Netapp.com>

2019-04-25xprtrdma: Aggregate the inline settings in struct rpcrdma_epChuck Lever
Clean up. The inline settings are actually a characteristic of the endpoint, and not related to the device. They are also modified after the transport instance is created, so they do not belong in the cdata structure either. Lastly, let's use names that are more natural to RDMA than to NFS: inline_write -> inline_send and inline_read -> inline_recv. The /proc files retain their names to avoid breaking user space.

2019-04-25xprtrdma: Remove rpcrdma_create_data_internal::rsize and wsizeChuck Lever
Clean up. xprt_rdma_max_inline_{read,write} cannot be set to large values by virtue of proc_dointvec_minmax. The current maximum is RPCRDMA_MAX_INLINE, which is much smaller than RPCRDMA_MAX_SEGS * PAGE_SIZE. The .rsize and .wsize fields are otherwise unused in the current code base, and thus can be removed.

2019-04-25xprtrdma: More Send completion batchingChuck Lever
Instead of using a fixed number, allow the amount of Send completion batching to vary based on the client's maximum credit limit. - A larger default gives a small boost to IOPS throughput - Reducing it based on max_requests gives a safe result when the max credit limit is cranked down (eg. when the device has a small max_qp_wr).

2019-04-25xprtrdma: Backchannel can use GFP_KERNEL allocationsChuck Lever

2019-04-25xprtrdma: Allocate req's regbufs at xprt create timeChuck Lever
Allocating an rpcrdma_req's regbufs at xprt create time enables a pair of micro-optimizations: First, if these regbufs are always there, we can eliminate two conditional branches from the hot xprt_rdma_allocate path. Second, by allocating a 1KB buffer, it places a lower bound on the size of these buffers, without adding yet another conditional branch. The lower bound reduces the number of hardway re- allocations. In fact, for some workloads it completely eliminates hardway allocations. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@Netapp.com>

Eventually, I'd like to invoke rpcrdma_create_req() during the call_reserve step. Memory allocation there probably needs to use GFP_NOIO. Therefore a set of GFP flags needs to be passed in.

2019-04-25SUNRPC: Start the first major timeout calculation at task creationTrond Myklebust
When calculating the major timeout for a new task, when we know that the connection has been broken, use the task->tk_start to ensure that we also take into account the time spent waiting for a slot or session slot. This ensures that we fail over soft requests relatively quickly once the connection has actually been broken, and the first requests have started to fail.

2019-04-25SUNRPC: Make "no retrans timeout" soft tasks behave like softconn for timeoutsTrond Myklebust
If a soft NFSv4 request is sent, then we don't need it to time out unless the connection breaks. The reason is that as long as the connection is unbroken, the protocol states that the server is not allowed to drop the request. IOW: as long as the connection remains unbroken, the client may assume that all transmitted RPC requests are being processed by the server, and that retransmissions and timeouts of those requests are unwarranted.

If a request transmission fails due to write space or slot unavailability errors, but the queued task then gets transmitted before it has time to process the error in call_transmit_status() or call_bc_transmit_status(), we need to suppress the transmission error code to prevent it from leaking out of the RPC layer.

2019-04-16tcp: tcp_grow_window() needs to respect tcp_space()Eric Dumazet
For some reason, tcp_grow_window() correctly tests if enough room is present before attempting to increase tp->rcv_ssthresh, but does not prevent it to grow past tcp_space() This is causing hard to debug issues, like failing the (__tcp_select_window(sk) >= tp->rcv_wnd) test in __tcp_ack_snd_check(), causing ACK delays and possibly slow flows. Depending on tcp_rmem[2], MTU, skb->len/skb->truesize ratio, we can see the problem happening on "netperf -t TCP_RR -- -r 2000,2000" after about 60 round trips, when the active side no longer sends immediate acks.

2019-04-16tipc: fix link established but not in sessionTuong Lien
According to the link FSM, when a link endpoint got RESET_MSG (- a traditional one without the stopping bit) from its peer, it moves to PEER_RESET state and raises a LINK_DOWN event which then resets the link itself. Its state will become ESTABLISHING after the reset event and the link will be re-established soon after this endpoint starts to send ACTIVATE_MSG to the peer. There is no problem with this mechanism, however the link resetting has cleared the link 'in_session' flag (along with the other important link data such as: the link 'mtu') that was correctly set up at the 1st step (i.e. when this endpoint received the peer RESET_MSG). As a result, the link will become ESTABLISHED, but the 'in_session' flag is not set, and all STATE_MSG from its peer will be dropped at the link_validate_msg(). It means the link not synced and will sooner or later face a failure. Since the link reset action is obviously needed for a new link session (this is also true in the other situations), the problem here is that the link is re-established a bit too early when the link endpoints are not really in-sync yet. The commit forces a resync as already done in the previous commit 91986ee166cf ("tipc: fix link session and re-establish issues") by simply varying the link 'peer_session' value at the link_reset().
