Merge tag 'nfsd-5.10' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux
Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields: "The one new feature this time, from Anna Schumaker, is READ_PLUS, which has the same arguments as READ but allows the server to return an array of data and hole extents. Otherwise it's a lot of cleanup and bugfixes" * tag 'nfsd-5.10' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux: (43 commits) NFSv4.2: Fix NFS4ERR_STALE error when doing inter server copy SUNRPC: fix copying of multiple pages in gss_read_proxy_verf() sunrpc: raise kernel RPC channel buffer size svcrdma: fix bounce buffers for unaligned offsets and multiple pages nfsd: remove unneeded break net/sunrpc: Fix return value for sysctl sunrpc.transports NFSD: Encode a full READ_PLUS reply NFSD: Return both a hole and a data segment NFSD: Add READ_PLUS hole segment encoding NFSD: Add READ_PLUS data support NFSD: Hoist status code encoding into XDR encoder functions NFSD: Map nfserr_wrongsec outside of nfsd_dispatch NFSD: Remove the RETURN_STATUS() macro NFSD: Call NFSv2 encoders on error returns NFSD: Fix .pc_release method for NFSv2 NFSD: Remove vestigial typedefs NFSD: Refactor nfsd_dispatch() error paths NFSD: Clean up nfsd_dispatch() variables NFSD: Clean up stale comments in nfsd_dispatch() NFSD: Clean up switch statement in nfsd_dispatch() ...

-===================
-NFS Fault Injection
-===================
-
-Fault injection is a method for forcing errors that may not normally occur, or
-may be difficult to reproduce. Forcing these errors in a controlled environment
-can help the developer find and fix bugs before their code is shipped in a
-production system. Injecting an error on the Linux NFS server will allow us to
-observe how the client reacts and if it manages to recover its state correctly.
-
-NFSD_FAULT_INJECTION must be selected when configuring the kernel to use this
-feature.
-
-
-Using Fault Injection
-=====================
-On the client, mount the fault injection server through NFS v4.0+ and do some
-work over NFS (open files, take locks, ...).
-
-On the server, mount the debugfs filesystem to <debug_dir> and ls
-<debug_dir>/nfsd. This will show a list of files that will be used for
-injecting faults on the NFS server. As root, write a number n to the file
-corresponding to the action you want the server to take. The server will then
-process the first n items it finds. So if you want to forget 5 locks, echo '5'
-to <debug_dir>/nfsd/forget_locks. A value of 0 will tell the server to forget
-all corresponding items. A log message will be created containing the number
-of items forgotten (check dmesg).
-
-Go back to work on the client and check if the client recovered from the error
-correctly.
-
-
-Available Faults
-================
-forget_clients:
- The NFS server keeps a list of clients that have placed a mount call. If
- this list is cleared, the server will have no knowledge of who the client
- is, forcing the client to reauthenticate with the server.
-
-forget_openowners:
- The NFS server keeps a list of what files are currently opened and who
- they were opened by. Clearing this list will force the client to reopen
- its files.
-
-forget_locks:
- The NFS server keeps a list of what files are currently locked in the VFS.
- Clearing this list will force the client to reclaim its locks (files are
- unlocked through the VFS as they are cleared from this list).
-
-forget_delegations:
- A delegation is used to assure the client that a file, or part of a file,
- has not changed since the delegation was awarded. Clearing this list will
- force the client to reacquire its delegation before accessing the file
- again.
-
-recall_delegations:
- Delegations can be recalled by the server when another client attempts to
- access a file. This test will notify the client that its delegation has
- been revoked, forcing the client to reacquire the delegation before using
- the file again.
-
-
-tools/nfs/inject_faults.sh script
-=================================
-This script has been created to ease the fault injection process. This script
-will detect the mounted debugfs directory and write to the files located there
-based on the arguments passed by the user. For example, running
-`inject_faults.sh forget_locks 1` as root will instruct the server to forget
-one lock. Running `inject_faults forget_locks` will instruct the server to
-forgetall locks.
