* svcrpc: fix handling of garbage argsJ. Bruce Fields2008-07-031-7/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To return garbage_args, the accept_stat must be 0, and we must have a verifier. So we shouldn't be resetting the write pointer as we reject the call. Also, we must add the two placeholder words here regardless of success of the unwrap, to ensure the output buffer is left in a consistent state for svcauth_gss_release(). This fixes a BUG() in svcauth_gss.c:svcauth_gss_release(). Thanks to Aime Le Rouzic for bug report, debugging help, and testing. Signed-off-by: J.

| | * svcrdma: Verify read-list fits within RPCSVC_MAXPAGESTom Tucker2008-05-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A RDMA read-list cannot contain more elements than RPCSVC_MAXPAGES or it will overflow the DTO context. Verify this when processing the protocol header. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The svc_rdma_send_error function is called when an RPCRDMA protocol error is detected. This function attempts to post an error reply message. Since an error posting to a transport in error is ignored, change the return type to void. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This race was found by inspection. Messages can be received from the peer immediately following the rdma_accept call, however, the CQ have not yet been armed and the transport address has not yet been set. Set the transport address in the connect request handler and arm the CQ prior to calling rdma_accept. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the destruction of the QP and CM_ID to the free path so that the QP cleanup code doesn't race with the dto_tasklet handling flushed WR. The QP reference is not needed because we now have a reference for every WR. Also add a guard in the SQ and RQ completion handlers to ignore calls generated by some providers when the QP is destroyed. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rq_cq_reap function is only called from the dto_tasklet. The only resource shared with other threads is the sc_rq_dto_q. Move the spin lock to protect only this list. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>

Add a context counter to catch resource leaks. A WARN_ON will be added later to ensure that we've freed all contexts. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>
| | * svcrdma: Simplify RDMA_READ deferral buffer managementTom Tucker2008-05-192-48/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An NFS_WRITE requires a set of RDMA_READ requests to fetch the write data from the client. There are two principal pieces of data that need to be tracked: the list of pages that comprise the completed RPC and the SGE of dma mapped pages to refer to this list of pages. Previously this whole bit was managed as a linked list of contexts with the context containing the page list buried in this list. This patch simplifies this processing by not keeping a linked list, but rather only a pionter from the last submitted RDMA_READ's context to the context that maps the set of pages that describe the RPC. This significantly simplifies this code path. SGE contexts are cleaned up inline in the DTO path instead of at read completion time. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rdma_read_xdr function did not discriminate between no read-list and an error posting the read-list. This results in a leak of a page if there is an error posting the read-list. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A listening endpoint isn't known to the generic transport switch until the svc_create_xprt function returns without error. Calling svc_xprt_put within the xpo_create function causes the module reference count to be erroneously decremented. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>
| | * svcrdma: Free context on post_recv error in send_replyTom Tucker2008-05-191-1/+2

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there is an error posting the recv WR to the RQ, free the context associated with the WR. This would leak a context when asynchronous errors occurred on the transport while conccurent threads were processing their RPC. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>
| | * svcrdma: Add put of connection ESTABLISHED reference in rdma_cma_handlerTom Tucker2008-05-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The svcrdma transport takes a reference when it gets the ESTABLISHED event from the provider. This reference is supposed to be removed when the DISCONNECT event is received, however, the call to svc_xprt_put was missing in the switch statement. This results in the memory associated with the transport never being freed. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the return value on close to -ENOTCONN so caller knows to free context. Also if a thread is waiting for free SQ space, check for close when waking to avoid posting WR to a closing transport. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The svc_rdma_send function will attempt to reap SQ WR to make room for a new request if it finds the SQ full. This function races with the dto_tasklet that also reaps SQ WR. To avoid polling and arming the CQ unnecessarily move the test_and_clear_bit of the RDMAXPRT_SQ_PENDING flag and arming of the CQ to the sq_cq_reap function. Refactor the rq_cq_reap function to match sq_cq_reap so that the code is easier to follow. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>
| | * svcrdma: Simplify receive buffer postingTom Tucker2008-05-193-35/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The svcrdma transport provider currently allocates receive buffers to the RQ through the xpo_release_rqst method. This approach is overly complicated since it means that the rqstp rq_xprt_ctxt has to be selectively set based on whether the RPC is going to be processed immediately or deferred. Instead, just post the receive buffer when we are certain that we are replying in the send_reply function. Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker <tom@opengridcomputing.com>

| | * | SUNRPC: Invalidate the RPCSEC_GSS session if the server dropped the requestTrond Myklebust2008-04-241-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RFC 2203 requires the server to drop the request if it believes the RPCSEC_GSS context is out of sequence. The problem is that we have no way on the client to know why the server dropped the request. In order to avoid spinning forever trying to resend the request, the safe approach is therefore to always invalidate the RPCSEC_GSS context on every major timeout.

However, we do want to allow any requests that are in flight to finish executing, so that we can at least attempt to process the replies that depend on this instance of the credential. The solution is to ensure that gss_refresh() looks up an entirely new RPCSEC_GSS credential instead of attempting to create a context for the existing invalid credential.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NFSv4 requires us to ensure that we break the TCP connection before we're allowed to retransmit a request. However in the case where we're retransmitting several requests that have been sent on the same connection, we need to ensure that we don't interfere with the attempt to reconnect and/or break the connection again once it has been established. We therefore introduce a 'connection' cookie that is bumped every time a connection is broken. This allows requests to track if they need to force a disconnection.

In 'call_decode()' itself, instead of using task->tk_status (which is set using req->rq_received) must use the actual value of req->rq_private_buf.len when deciding whether or not the received RPC reply is too short. Finally ensure that we set req->rq_rcv_buf.len to zero when retrying a request.

Destroying GSS credentials isn't mandatory; the server can always cope with a few credentials not getting destroyed in a timely fashion. This actually fixes a hang situation. Basically, some servers will decide that the client is crazy if it tries to destroy an RPC context for which they have sent an RPCSEC_GSS_CREDPROBLEM, and so will refuse to talk to it for a while.

Convert the SUNRPC layer to use the same idiom. Remove the unlikely()s in xs_udp_write_space and xs_tcp_write_space. In fact, the most common case will be that there is nobody waiting for buffer space. SOCK_NOSPACE is there to tell the TCP layer whether or not the cwnd was limited by the application window. Ensure that we follow the same idiom as the rest of the networking layer here too. Finally, ensure that we clear SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE once we wake up, so that write_space() doesn't keep waking things up on xprt->pending. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
