The work of closing a file can have non-trivial cost. Doing it in a
separate work queue thread means that cost isn't imposed on the nfsd
threads and an imbalance can be created. This can result in files being
queued for the work queue more quickly that the work queue can process
them, resulting in unbounded growth of the queue and memory exhaustion.
To avoid this work imbalance that exhausts memory, this patch moves all
closing of files into the nfsd threads. This means that when the work
imposes a cost, that cost appears where it would be expected - in the
work of the nfsd thread. A subsequent patch will ensure the final
__fput() is called in the same (nfsd) thread which calls filp_close().
Files opened for NFSv3 are never explicitly closed by the client and are
kept open by the server in the "filecache", which responds to memory
pressure, is garbage collected even when there is no pressure, and
sometimes closes files when there is particular need such as for rename.
These files currently have filp_close() called in a dedicated work
queue, so their __fput() can have no effect on nfsd threads.
This patch discards the work queue and instead has each nfsd thread call
flip_close() on as many as 8 files from the filecache each time it acts
on a client request (or finds there are no pending client requests). If
there are more to be closed, more threads are woken. This spreads the
work of __fput() over multiple threads and imposes any cost on those
threads.
The number 8 is somewhat arbitrary. It needs to be greater than 1 to
ensure that files are closed more quickly than they can be added to the
cache. It needs to be small enough to limit the per-request delays that
will be imposed on clients when all threads are busy closing files.

While we were converting the nfs4_file hashtable to use the kernel's
resizable hashtable data structure, Neil Brown observed that the
list variant (rhltable) would be better for managing nfsd_file items
as well. The nfsd_file hash table will contain multiple entries for
the same inode -- these should be kept together on a list. And, it
could be possible for exotic or malicious client behavior to cause
the hash table to resize itself on every insertion.
A nice simplification is that rhltable_lookup() can return a list
that contains only nfsd_file items that match a given inode, which
enables us to eliminate specialized hash table helper functions and
use the default functions provided by the rhashtable implementation).
Since we are now storing nfsd_file items for the same inode on a
single list, that effectively reduces the number of hash entries
that have to be tracked in the hash table. The mininum bucket count
is therefore lowered.
Light testing with fstests generic/531 show no regressions.

Commit fb70bf124b05 ("NFSD: Instantiate a struct file when creating a
regular NFSv4 file") added the ability to cache an open fd over a
compound. There are a couple of problems with the way this currently
works:
It's racy, as a newly-created nfsd_file can end up with its PENDING bit
cleared while the nf is hashed, and the nf_file pointer is still zeroed
out. Other tasks can find it in this state and they expect to see a
valid nf_file, and can oops if nf_file is NULL.
Also, there is no guarantee that we'll end up creating a new nfsd_file
if one is already in the hash. If an extant entry is in the hash with a
valid nf_file, nfs4_get_vfs_file will clobber its nf_file pointer with
the value of op_file and the old nf_file will leak.
Fix both issues by making a new nfsd_file_acquirei_opened variant that
takes an optional file pointer. If one is present when this is called,
we'll take a new reference to it instead of trying to open the file. If
the nfsd_file already has a valid nf_file, we'll just ignore the
optional file and pass the nfsd_file back as-is.
Also rework the tracepoints a bit to allow for an "opened" variant and
don't try to avoid counting acquisitions in the case where we already
have a cached open file.

NFSv4 operations manage the lifetime of nfsd_file items they use by
means of NFSv4 OPEN and CLOSE. Hence there's no need for them to be
garbage collected.
Introduce a mechanism to enable garbage collection for nfsd_file
items used only by NFSv2/3 callers.
Note that the change in nfsd_file_put() ensures that both CLOSE and
DELEGRETURN will actually close out and free an nfsd_file on last
reference of a non-garbage-collected file.

This reverts commit 5e138c4a750dc140d881dab4a8804b094bbc08d2.
That commit attempted to make files available to other users as soon
as all NFSv4 clients were done with them, rather than waiting until
the filecache LRU had garbage collected them.
It gets the reference counting wrong, for one thing.
But it also misses that DELEGRETURN should release a file in the
same fashion. In fact, any nfsd_file_put() on an file held open
by an NFSv4 client needs potentially to release the file
immediately...
Clear the way for implementing that idea.

The documenting comment for struct nf_file states:
/*
* A representation of a file that has been opened by knfsd. These are hashed
* in the hashtable by inode pointer value. Note that this object doesn't
* hold a reference to the inode by itself, so the nf_inode pointer should
* never be dereferenced, only used for comparison.
*/
Replace the two existing dereferences to make the comment always
true.

The last close of a file should enable other accessors to open and
use that file immediately. Leaving the file open in the filecache
prevents other users from accessing that file until the filecache
garbage-collects the file -- sometimes that takes several seconds.

We had a report from the spring Bake-a-thon of data corruption in some
nfstest_interop tests. Looking at the traces showed the NFS server
allowing a v3 WRITE to proceed while a read delegation was still
outstanding.
Currently, we only set NFSD_FILE_BREAK_* flags if
NFSD_MAY_NOT_BREAK_LEASE was set when we call nfsd_file_alloc.
NFSD_MAY_NOT_BREAK_LEASE was intended to be set when finding files for
COMMIT ops, where we need a writeable filehandle but don't need to
break read leases.
It doesn't make any sense to consult that flag when allocating a file
since the file may be used on subsequent calls where we do want to break
the lease (and the usage of it here seems to be reverse from what it
should be anyway).
Also, after calling nfsd_open_break_lease, we don't want to clear the
BREAK_* bits. A lease could end up being set on it later (more than
once) and we need to be able to break those leases as well.
This means that the NFSD_FILE_BREAK_* flags now just mirror
NFSD_MAY_{READ,WRITE} flags, so there's no need for them at all. Just
drop those flags and unconditionally call nfsd_open_break_lease every
time.

There have been reports of races that cause NFSv4 OPEN(CREATE) to
return an error even though the requested file was created. NFSv4
does not provide a status code for this case.
To mitigate some of these problems, reorganize the NFSv4
OPEN(CREATE) logic to allocate resources before the file is actually
created, and open the new file while the parent directory is still
locked.
Two new APIs are added:
+ Add an API that works like nfsd_file_acquire() but does not open
the underlying file. The OPEN(CREATE) path can use this API when it
already has an open file.
+ Add an API that is kin to dentry_open(). NFSD needs to create a
file and grab an open "struct file *" atomically. The
alloc_empty_file() has to be done before the inode create. If it
fails (for example, because the NFS server has exceeded its
max_files limit), we avoid creating the file and can still return
an error to the NFS client.

The nfsd_file nf_rwsem is currently being used to separate file write
and commit instances to ensure that we catch errors and apply them to
the correct write/commit.
We can improve scalability at the expense of a little accuracy (some
extra false positives) by replacing the nf_rwsem with more careful
use of the errseq_t mechanism to track errors across the different
operations.

Currently, NFSv2/3 reads and writes have to open a file, do the read or
write and then close it again for each RPC. This is highly inefficient,
especially when the underlying filesystem has a relatively slow open
routine.
This patch adds a new open file cache to knfsd. Rather than doing an
open for each RPC, the read/write handlers can call into this cache to
see if there is one already there for the correct filehandle and
NFS_MAY_READ/WRITE flags.
If there isn't an entry, then we create a new one and attempt to
perform the open. If there is, then we wait until the entry is fully
instantiated and return it if it is at the end of the wait. If it's
not, then we attempt to take over construction.
Since the main goal is to speed up NFSv2/3 I/O, we don't want to
close these files on last put of these objects. We need to keep them
around for a little while since we never know when the next READ/WRITE
will come in.
Cache entries have a hardcoded 1s timeout, and we have a recurring
workqueue job that walks the cache and purges any entries that have
expired.
