NFS: Share NFS superblocks per-protocol per-server per-FSID The attached patch makes NFS share superblocks between mounts from the same server and FSID over the same protocol. It does this by creating each superblock with a false root and returning the real root dentry in the vfsmount presented by get_sb(). The root dentry set starts off as an anonymous dentry if we don't already have the dentry for its inode, otherwise it simply returns the dentry we already have. We may thus end up with several trees of dentries in the superblock, and if at some later point one of anonymous tree roots is discovered by normal filesystem activity to be located in another tree within the superblock, the anonymous root is named and materialises attached to the second tree at the appropriate point. Why do it this way? Why not pass an extra argument to the mount() syscall to indicate the subpath and then pathwalk from the server root to the desired directory? You can't guarantee this will work for two reasons: (1) The root and intervening nodes may not be accessible to the client. With NFS2 and NFS3, for instance, mountd is called on the server to get the filehandle for the tip of a path. mountd won't give us handles for anything we don't have permission to access, and so we can't set up NFS inodes for such nodes, and so can't easily set up dentries (we'd have to have ghost inodes or something). With this patch we don't actually create dentries until we get handles from the server that we can use to set up their inodes, and we don't actually bind them into the tree until we know for sure where they go. (2) Inaccessible symbolic links. If we're asked to mount two exports from the server, eg: mount warthog:/warthog/aaa/xxx /mmm mount warthog:/warthog/bbb/yyy /nnn We may not be able to access anything nearer the root than xxx and yyy, but we may find out later that /mmm/www/yyy, say, is actually the same directory as the one mounted on /nnn. What we might then find out, for example, is that /warthog/bbb was actually a symbolic link to /warthog/aaa/xxx/www, but we can't actually determine that by talking to the server until /warthog is made available by NFS. This would lead to having constructed an errneous dentry tree which we can't easily fix. We can end up with a dentry marked as a directory when it should actually be a symlink, or we could end up with an apparently hardlinked directory. With this patch we need not make assumptions about the type of a dentry for which we can't retrieve information, nor need we assume we know its place in the grand scheme of things until we actually see that place. This patch reduces the possibility of aliasing in the inode and page caches for inodes that may be accessed by more than one NFS export. It also reduces the number of superblocks required for NFS where there are many NFS exports being used from a server (home directory server + autofs for example). This in turn makes it simpler to do local caching of network filesystems, as it can then be guaranteed that there won't be links from multiple inodes in separate superblocks to the same cache file. Obviously, cache aliasing between different levels of NFS protocol could still be a problem, but at least that gives us another key to use when indexing the cache. This patch makes the following changes: (1) The server record construction/destruction has been abstracted out into its own set of functions to make things easier to get right. These have been moved into fs/nfs/client.c. All the code in fs/nfs/client.c has to do with the management of connections to servers, and doesn't touch superblocks in any way; the remaining code in fs/nfs/super.c has to do with VFS superblock management. (2) The sequence of events undertaken by NFS mount is now reordered: (a) A volume representation (struct nfs_server) is allocated. (b) A server representation (struct nfs_client) is acquired. This may be allocated or shared, and is keyed on server address, port and NFS version. (c) If allocated, the client representation is initialised. The state member variable of nfs_client is used to prevent a race during initialisation from two mounts. (d) For NFS4 a simple pathwalk is performed, walking from FH to FH to find the root filehandle for the mount (fs/nfs/getroot.c). For NFS2/3 we are given the root FH in advance. (e) The volume FSID is probed for on the root FH. (f) The volume representation is initialised from the FSINFO record retrieved on the root FH. (g) sget() is called to acquire a superblock. This may be allocated or shared, keyed on client pointer and FSID. (h) If allocated, the superblock is initialised. (i) If the superblock is shared, then the new nfs_server record is discarded. (j) The root dentry for this mount is looked up from the root FH. (k) The root dentry for this mount is assigned to the vfsmount. (3) nfs_readdir_lookup() creates dentries for each of the entries readdir() returns; this function now attaches disconnected trees from alternate roots that happen to be discovered attached to a directory being read (in the same way nfs_lookup() is made to do for lookup ops). The new d_materialise_unique() function is now used to do this, thus permitting the whole thing to be done under one set of locks, and thus avoiding any race between mount and lookup operations on the same directory. (4) The client management code uses a new debug facility: NFSDBG_CLIENT which is set by echoing 1024 to /proc/net/sunrpc/nfs_debug. (5) Clone mounts are now called xdev mounts. (6) Use the dentry passed to the statfs() op as the handle for retrieving fs statistics rather than the root dentry of the superblock (which is now a dummy).

NFS: switch back to to ->iterate() NFS has some optimizations for readdir to choose between using READDIR or READDIRPLUS based on workload, and which NFS operation to use is determined by subsequent interactions with lookup, d_revalidate, and getattr. Concurrent use of nfs_readdir() via ->iterate_shared() can cause those optimizations to repeatedly invalidate the pagecache used to store directory entries during readdir(), which causes some very bad performance for directories with many entries (more than about 10000). There's a couple ways to fix this in NFS, but no fix would be as simple as going back to ->iterate() to serialize nfs_readdir(), and neither fix I tested performed as well as going back to ->iterate(). The first required taking the directory's i_lock for each entry, with the result of terrible contention. The second way adds another flag to the nfs_inode, and so keeps the optimizations working for large directories. The difference from using ->iterate() here is that much more memory is consumed for a given workload without any performance gain. The workings of nfs_readdir() are such that concurrent users are serialized within read_cache_page() waiting to retrieve pages of entries from the server. By serializing this work in iterate_dir() instead, contention for cache pages is reduced. Waiting processes can have an uncontended pass at the entirety of the directory's pagecache once previous processes have completed filling it. v2 - Keep the bits needed for parallel lookup Signed-off-by: Benjamin Coddington <bcodding@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@primarydata.com>

NFS: only invalidate dentrys that are clearly invalid. Since commit bafc9b754f75 ("vfs: More precise tests in d_invalidate") in v3.18, a return of '0' from ->d_revalidate() will cause the dentry to be invalidated even if it has filesystems mounted on or it or on a descendant. The mounted filesystem is unmounted. This means we need to be careful not to return 0 unless the directory referred to truly is invalid. So -ESTALE or -ENOENT should invalidate the directory. Other errors such a -EPERM or -ERESTARTSYS should be returned from ->d_revalidate() so they are propagated to the caller. A particular problem can be demonstrated by: 1/ mount an NFS filesystem using NFSv3 on /mnt 2/ mount any other filesystem on /mnt/foo 3/ ls /mnt/foo 4/ turn off network, or otherwise make the server unable to respond 5/ ls /mnt/foo & 6/ cat /proc/$!/stack # note that nfs_lookup_revalidate is in the call stack 7/ kill -9 $! # this results in -ERESTARTSYS being returned 8/ observe that /mnt/foo has been unmounted. This patch changes nfs_lookup_revalidate() to only treat -ESTALE from nfs_lookup_verify_inode() and -ESTALE or -ENOENT from ->lookup() as indicating an invalid inode. Other errors are returned. Also nfs_check_inode_attributes() is changed to return -ESTALE rather than -EIO. This is consistent with the error returned in similar circumstances from nfs_update_inode(). As this bug allows any user to unmount a filesystem mounted on an NFS filesystem, this fix is suitable for stable kernels.

NFS: don't unhash dentry during unlink/rename NFS unlink() (and rename over existing target) must determine if the file is open, and must perform a "silly rename" instead of an unlink (or before rename) if it is. Otherwise the client might hold a file open which has been removed on the server. Consequently if it determines that the file isn't open, it must block any subsequent opens until the unlink/rename has been completed on the server. This is currently achieved by unhashing the dentry. This forces any open attempt to the slow-path for lookup which will block on i_rwsem on the directory until the unlink/rename completes. A future patch will change the VFS to only get a shared lock on i_rwsem for unlink, so this will no longer work. Instead we introduce an explicit interlock. A special value is stored in dentry->d_fsdata while the unlink/rename is running and ->d_revalidate blocks while that value is present. When ->d_revalidate unblocks, the dentry will be invalid. This closes the race without requiring exclusion on i_rwsem. d_fsdata is already used in two different ways. 1/ an IS_ROOT directory dentry might have a "devname" stored in d_fsdata. Such a dentry doesn't have a name and so cannot be the target of unlink or rename. For safety we check if an old devname is still stored, and remove it if it is. 2/ a dentry with DCACHE_NFSFS_RENAMED set will have a 'struct nfs_unlinkdata' stored in d_fsdata. While this is set maydelete() will fail, so an unlink or rename will never proceed on such a dentry. Neither of these can be in effect when a dentry is the target of unlink or rename. So we can expect d_fsdata to be NULL, and store a special value ((void*)1) which is given the name NFS_FSDATA_BLOCKED to indicate that any lookup will be blocked. The d_count() is incremented under d_lock() when a lookup finds the dentry, so we check d_count() is low, and set NFS_FSDATA_BLOCKED under the same lock to avoid any races.

Pass parent directory inode and expected name to ->d_revalidate() ->d_revalidate() often needs to access dentry parent and name; that has to be done carefully, since the locking environment varies from caller to caller. We are not guaranteed that dentry in question will not be moved right under us - not unless the filesystem is such that nothing on it ever gets renamed. It can be dealt with, but that results in boilerplate code that isn't even needed - the callers normally have just found the dentry via dcache lookup and want to verify that it's in the right place; they already have the values of ->d_parent and ->d_name stable. There is a couple of exceptions (overlayfs and, to less extent, ecryptfs), but for the majority of calls that song and dance is not needed at all. It's easier to make ecryptfs and overlayfs find and pass those values if there's a ->d_revalidate() instance to be called, rather than doing that in the instances. This commit only changes the calling conventions; making use of supplied values is left to followups. NOTE: some instances need more than just the parent - things like CIFS may need to build an entire path from filesystem root, so they need more precautions than the usual boilerplate. This series doesn't do anything to that need - these filesystems have to keep their locking mechanisms (rename_lock loops, use of dentry_path_raw(), private rwsem a-la v9fs). One thing to keep in mind when using name is that name->name will normally point into the pathname being resolved; the filename in question occupies name->len bytes starting at name->name, and there is NUL somewhere after it, but it the next byte might very well be '/' rather than '\0'.

Rename superblock flags (MS_xyz -> SB_xyz) This is a pure automated search-and-replace of the internal kernel superblock flags.

vfs: kill FS_REVAL_DOT by adding a d_weak_revalidate dentry op The following set of operations on a NFS client and server will cause server# mkdir a client# cd a server# mv a a.bak client# sleep 30 # (or whatever the dir attrcache timeout is) client# stat . stat: cannot stat `.': Stale NFS file handle Obviously, we should not be getting an ESTALE error back there since the inode still exists on the server. The problem is that the lookup code will call d_revalidate on the dentry that "." refers to, because NFS has FS_REVAL_DOT set. nfs_lookup_revalidate will see that the parent directory has changed and will try to reverify the dentry by redoing a LOOKUP. That of course fails, so the lookup code returns ESTALE. The problem here is that d_revalidate is really a bad fit for this case. What we really want to know at this point is whether the inode is still good or not, but we don't really care what name it goes by or whether the dcache is still valid. Add a new d_op->d_weak_revalidate operation and have complete_walk call that instead of d_revalidate. The intent there is to allow for a "weaker" d_revalidate that just checks to see whether the inode is still good. This is also gives us an opportunity to kill off the FS_REVAL_DOT special casing.

NFS: Share NFS superblocks per-protocol per-server per-FSID The attached patch makes NFS share superblocks between mounts from the same server and FSID over the same protocol. It does this by creating each superblock with a false root and returning the real root dentry in the vfsmount presented by get_sb(). The root dentry set starts off as an anonymous dentry if we don't already have the dentry for its inode, otherwise it simply returns the dentry we already have. We may thus end up with several trees of dentries in the superblock, and if at some later point one of anonymous tree roots is discovered by normal filesystem activity to be located in another tree within the superblock, the anonymous root is named and materialises attached to the second tree at the appropriate point. Why do it this way? Why not pass an extra argument to the mount() syscall to indicate the subpath and then pathwalk from the server root to the desired directory? You can't guarantee this will work for two reasons: (1) The root and intervening nodes may not be accessible to the client. With NFS2 and NFS3, for instance, mountd is called on the server to get the filehandle for the tip of a path. mountd won't give us handles for anything we don't have permission to access, and so we can't set up NFS inodes for such nodes, and so can't easily set up dentries (we'd have to have ghost inodes or something). With this patch we don't actually create dentries until we get handles from the server that we can use to set up their inodes, and we don't actually bind them into the tree until we know for sure where they go. (2) Inaccessible symbolic links. If we're asked to mount two exports from the server, eg: mount warthog:/warthog/aaa/xxx /mmm mount warthog:/warthog/bbb/yyy /nnn We may not be able to access anything nearer the root than xxx and yyy, but we may find out later that /mmm/www/yyy, say, is actually the same directory as the one mounted on /nnn. What we might then find out, for example, is that /warthog/bbb was actually a symbolic link to /warthog/aaa/xxx/www, but we can't actually determine that by talking to the server until /warthog is made available by NFS. This would lead to having constructed an errneous dentry tree which we can't easily fix. We can end up with a dentry marked as a directory when it should actually be a symlink, or we could end up with an apparently hardlinked directory. With this patch we need not make assumptions about the type of a dentry for which we can't retrieve information, nor need we assume we know its place in the grand scheme of things until we actually see that place. This patch reduces the possibility of aliasing in the inode and page caches for inodes that may be accessed by more than one NFS export. It also reduces the number of superblocks required for NFS where there are many NFS exports being used from a server (home directory server + autofs for example). This in turn makes it simpler to do local caching of network filesystems, as it can then be guaranteed that there won't be links from multiple inodes in separate superblocks to the same cache file. Obviously, cache aliasing between different levels of NFS protocol could still be a problem, but at least that gives us another key to use when indexing the cache. This patch makes the following changes: (1) The server record construction/destruction has been abstracted out into its own set of functions to make things easier to get right. These have been moved into fs/nfs/client.c. All the code in fs/nfs/client.c has to do with the management of connections to servers, and doesn't touch superblocks in any way; the remaining code in fs/nfs/super.c has to do with VFS superblock management. (2) The sequence of events undertaken by NFS mount is now reordered: (a) A volume representation (struct nfs_server) is allocated. (b) A server representation (struct nfs_client) is acquired. This may be allocated or shared, and is keyed on server address, port and NFS version. (c) If allocated, the client representation is initialised. The state member variable of nfs_client is used to prevent a race during initialisation from two mounts. (d) For NFS4 a simple pathwalk is performed, walking from FH to FH to find the root filehandle for the mount (fs/nfs/getroot.c). For NFS2/3 we are given the root FH in advance. (e) The volume FSID is probed for on the root FH. (f) The volume representation is initialised from the FSINFO record retrieved on the root FH. (g) sget() is called to acquire a superblock. This may be allocated or shared, keyed on client pointer and FSID. (h) If allocated, the superblock is initialised. (i) If the superblock is shared, then the new nfs_server record is discarded. (j) The root dentry for this mount is looked up from the root FH. (k) The root dentry for this mount is assigned to the vfsmount. (3) nfs_readdir_lookup() creates dentries for each of the entries readdir() returns; this function now attaches disconnected trees from alternate roots that happen to be discovered attached to a directory being read (in the same way nfs_lookup() is made to do for lookup ops). The new d_materialise_unique() function is now used to do this, thus permitting the whole thing to be done under one set of locks, and thus avoiding any race between mount and lookup operations on the same directory. (4) The client management code uses a new debug facility: NFSDBG_CLIENT which is set by echoing 1024 to /proc/net/sunrpc/nfs_debug. (5) Clone mounts are now called xdev mounts. (6) Use the dentry passed to the statfs() op as the handle for retrieving fs statistics rather than the root dentry of the superblock (which is now a dummy).

Pass parent directory inode and expected name to ->d_revalidate() ->d_revalidate() often needs to access dentry parent and name; that has to be done carefully, since the locking environment varies from caller to caller. We are not guaranteed that dentry in question will not be moved right under us - not unless the filesystem is such that nothing on it ever gets renamed. It can be dealt with, but that results in boilerplate code that isn't even needed - the callers normally have just found the dentry via dcache lookup and want to verify that it's in the right place; they already have the values of ->d_parent and ->d_name stable. There is a couple of exceptions (overlayfs and, to less extent, ecryptfs), but for the majority of calls that song and dance is not needed at all. It's easier to make ecryptfs and overlayfs find and pass those values if there's a ->d_revalidate() instance to be called, rather than doing that in the instances. This commit only changes the calling conventions; making use of supplied values is left to followups. NOTE: some instances need more than just the parent - things like CIFS may need to build an entire path from filesystem root, so they need more precautions than the usual boilerplate. This series doesn't do anything to that need - these filesystems have to keep their locking mechanisms (rename_lock loops, use of dentry_path_raw(), private rwsem a-la v9fs). One thing to keep in mind when using name is that name->name will normally point into the pathname being resolved; the filename in question occupies name->len bytes starting at name->name, and there is NUL somewhere after it, but it the next byte might very well be '/' rather than '\0'.

NFS: unlink/rmdir shouldn't call d_delete() twice on ENOENT nfs_unlink() calls d_delete() twice if it receives ENOENT from the server - once in nfs_dentry_handle_enoent() from nfs_safe_remove and once in nfs_dentry_remove_handle_error(). nfs_rmddir() also calls it twice - the nfs_dentry_handle_enoent() call is direct and inside a region locked with ->rmdir_sem It is safe to call d_delete() twice if the refcount > 1 as the dentry is simply unhashed. If the refcount is 1, the first call sets d_inode to NULL and the second call crashes. This patch guards the d_delete() call from nfs_dentry_handle_enoent() leaving the one under ->remdir_sem in case that is important. In mainline it would be safe to remove the d_delete() call. However in older kernels to which this might be backported, that would change the behaviour of nfs_unlink(). nfs_unlink() used to unhash the dentry which resulted in nfs_dentry_handle_enoent() not calling d_delete(). So in older kernels we need the d_delete() in nfs_dentry_remove_handle_error() when called from nfs_unlink() but not when called from nfs_rmdir(). To make the code work correctly for old and new kernels, and from both nfs_unlink() and nfs_rmdir(), we protect the d_delete() call with simple_positive(). This ensures it is never called in a circumstance where it could crash.

NFS: don't unhash dentry during unlink/rename NFS unlink() (and rename over existing target) must determine if the file is open, and must perform a "silly rename" instead of an unlink (or before rename) if it is. Otherwise the client might hold a file open which has been removed on the server. Consequently if it determines that the file isn't open, it must block any subsequent opens until the unlink/rename has been completed on the server. This is currently achieved by unhashing the dentry. This forces any open attempt to the slow-path for lookup which will block on i_rwsem on the directory until the unlink/rename completes. A future patch will change the VFS to only get a shared lock on i_rwsem for unlink, so this will no longer work. Instead we introduce an explicit interlock. A special value is stored in dentry->d_fsdata while the unlink/rename is running and ->d_revalidate blocks while that value is present. When ->d_revalidate unblocks, the dentry will be invalid. This closes the race without requiring exclusion on i_rwsem. d_fsdata is already used in two different ways. 1/ an IS_ROOT directory dentry might have a "devname" stored in d_fsdata. Such a dentry doesn't have a name and so cannot be the target of unlink or rename. For safety we check if an old devname is still stored, and remove it if it is. 2/ a dentry with DCACHE_NFSFS_RENAMED set will have a 'struct nfs_unlinkdata' stored in d_fsdata. While this is set maydelete() will fail, so an unlink or rename will never proceed on such a dentry. Neither of these can be in effect when a dentry is the target of unlink or rename. So we can expect d_fsdata to be NULL, and store a special value ((void*)1) which is given the name NFS_FSDATA_BLOCKED to indicate that any lookup will be blocked. The d_count() is incremented under d_lock() when a lookup finds the dentry, so we check d_count() is low, and set NFS_FSDATA_BLOCKED under the same lock to avoid any races.

NFS: don't unhash dentry during unlink/rename NFS unlink() (and rename over existing target) must determine if the file is open, and must perform a "silly rename" instead of an unlink (or before rename) if it is. Otherwise the client might hold a file open which has been removed on the server. Consequently if it determines that the file isn't open, it must block any subsequent opens until the unlink/rename has been completed on the server. This is currently achieved by unhashing the dentry. This forces any open attempt to the slow-path for lookup which will block on i_rwsem on the directory until the unlink/rename completes.

NFS: add barriers when testing for NFS_FSDATA_BLOCKED dentry->d_fsdata is set to NFS_FSDATA_BLOCKED while unlinking or renaming-over a file to ensure that no open succeeds while the NFS operation progressed on the server. Setting dentry->d_fsdata to NFS_FSDATA_BLOCKED is done under ->d_lock after checking the refcount is not elevated. Any attempt to open the file (through that name) will go through lookp_open() which will take ->d_lock while incrementing the refcount, we can be sure that once the new value is set, __nfs_lookup_revalidate() *will* see the new value and will block. We don't have any locking guarantee that when we set ->d_fsdata to NULL, the wait_var_event() in __nfs_lookup_revalidate() will notice. wait/wake primitives do NOT provide barriers to guarantee order. We must use smp_load_acquire() in wait_var_event() to ensure we look at an up-to-date value, and must use smp_store_release() before wake_up_var(). This patch adds those barrier functions and factors out block_revalidate() and unblock_revalidate() far clarity. There is also a hypothetical bug in that if memory allocation fails (which never happens in practice) we might leave ->d_fsdata locked. This patch adds the missing call to unblock_revalidate().

While this is set maydelete() will fail, so an unlink or rename will never proceed on such a dentry. Neither of these can be in effect when a dentry is the target of unlink or rename.

The d_count() is incremented under d_lock() when a lookup finds the dentry, so we check d_count() is low, and set NFS_FSDATA_BLOCKED under the same lock to avoid any races.

NFS: add barriers when testing for NFS_FSDATA_BLOCKED dentry->d_fsdata is set to NFS_FSDATA_BLOCKED while unlinking or renaming-over a file to ensure that no open succeeds while the NFS operation progressed on the server. Setting dentry->d_fsdata to NFS_FSDATA_BLOCKED is done under ->d_lock after checking the refcount is not elevated. Any attempt to open the file (through that name) will go through lookp_open() which will take ->d_lock while incrementing the refcount, we can be sure that once the new value is set, __nfs_lookup_revalidate() *will* see the new value and will block. We don't have any locking guarantee that when we set ->d_fsdata to NULL, the wait_var_event() in __nfs_lookup_revalidate() will notice. wait/wake primitives do NOT provide barriers to guarantee order. We must use smp_load_acquire() in wait_var_event() to ensure we look at an up-to-date value, and must use smp_store_release() before wake_up_var(). This patch adds those barrier functions and factors out block_revalidate() and unblock_revalidate() far clarity. There is also a hypothetical bug in that if memory allocation fails (which never happens in practice) we might leave ->d_fsdata locked. This patch adds the missing call to unblock_revalidate().

NFS: don't unhash dentry during unlink/rename NFS unlink() (and rename over existing target) must determine if the file is open, and must perform a "silly rename" instead of an unlink (or before rename) if it is. Otherwise the client might hold a file open which has been removed on the server. Consequently if it determines that the file isn't open, it must block any subsequent opens until the unlink/rename has been completed on the server. This is currently achieved by unhashing the dentry. This forces any open attempt to the slow-path for lookup which will block on i_rwsem on the directory until the unlink/rename completes. A future patch will change the VFS to only get a shared lock on i_rwsem for unlink, so this will no longer work. Instead we introduce an explicit interlock. A special value is stored in dentry->d_fsdata while the unlink/rename is running and ->d_revalidate blocks while that value is present. When ->d_revalidate unblocks, the dentry will be invalid. This closes the race without requiring exclusion on i_rwsem. d_fsdata is already used in two different ways. 1/ an IS_ROOT directory dentry might have a "devname" stored in d_fsdata. Such a dentry doesn't have a name and so cannot be the target of unlink or rename. For safety we check if an old devname is still stored, and remove it if it is. 2/ a dentry with DCACHE_NFSFS_RENAMED set will have a 'struct nfs_unlinkdata' stored in d_fsdata.

super: fix calculation of shrinkable objects for small numbers The sysctl knob sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure is used to determine which percentage of the shrinkable objects in our cache we should actively try to shrink. It works great in situations in which we have many objects (at least more than 100), because the aproximation errors will be negligible. But if this is not the case, specially when total_objects < 100, we may end up concluding that we have no objects at all (total / 100 = 0, if total < 100). This is certainly not the biggest killer in the world, but may matter in very low kernel memory situations.

Open 2 xterm sessions 2. From one of the xterm session, do "ssh -X <remote host>" 3. "stat ~/.Xauthority" on the remote SSH session 4. Close the two xterm sessions 5. On the server do a "stat ~/.Xauthority" 6. Now on the client, try to open xterm This will fail. Even if the filehandle had become stale, the NFS client should invalidate the cache/inode and should repeat LOOKUP. Looking at the packet capture when the failure occurs shows that there were two subsequent ACCESS() calls with the same filehandle and both fails with -ESTALE error. I have tested the fix below. Now the client issue a LOOKUP after the ACCESS() call fails with -ESTALE. If all this makes sense to you, can you consider this for inclusion? Thanks, If the server returns an -ESTALE error due to stale filehandle in response to an ACCESS() call, we need to invalidate the cache and inode so that LOOKUP() can be retried.

NFSv4: Don't perform cached access checks before we've OPENed the file Donald Buczek reports that a nfs4 client incorrectly denies execute access based on outdated file mode (missing 'x' bit). After the mode on the server is 'fixed' (chmod +x) further execution attempts continue to fail, because the nfs ACCESS call updates the access parameter but not the mode parameter or the mode in the inode. The root cause is ultimately that the VFS is calling may_open() before the NFS client has a chance to OPEN the file and hence revalidate the access and attribute caches. Al Viro suggests: >>> Make nfs_permission() relax the checks when it sees MAY_OPEN, if you know >>> that things will be caught by server anyway? >> >> That can work as long as we're guaranteed that everything that calls >> inode_permission() with MAY_OPEN on a regular file will also follow up >> with a vfs_open() or dentry_open() on success. Is this always the >> case? > > 1) in do_tmpfile(), followed by do_dentry_open() (not reachable by NFS since > it doesn't have ->tmpfile() instance anyway) > > 2) in atomic_open(), after the call of ->atomic_open() has succeeded. > > 3) in do_last(), followed on success by vfs_open() > > That's all. All calls of inode_permission() that get MAY_OPEN come from > may_open(), and there's no other callers of that puppy.
