[PATCH] knfsd: move tempsock aging to a timer

Following are 11 patches from Greg Banks which combine to make knfsd more
Numa-aware.  They reduce hitting on 'global' data structures, and create some
data-structures that can be node-local.

knfsd threads are bound to a particular node, and the thread to handle a new
request is chosen from the threads that are attach to the node that received
the interrupt.

The distribution of threads across nodes can be controlled by a new file in
the 'nfsd' filesystem, though the default approach of an even spread is
probably fine for most sites.

Some (old) numbers that show the efficacy of these patches: N == number of
NICs == number of CPUs == nmber of clients.  Number of NUMA nodes == N/2

N Throughput, MiB/s CPU usage, % (max=N*100)

This patch:

Move the aging of RPC/TCP connection sockets from the main svc_recv() loop to
a timer which uses a mark-and-sweep algorithm every 6 minutes.  This reduces
the amount of work that needs to be done in the main RPC loop and the length
of time we need to hold the (effectively global) svc_serv->sv_lock.

[PATCH] knfsd: be more selective in which sockets lockd listens on

Currently lockd listens on UDP always, and TCP if CONFIG_NFSD_TCP is set.

However as lockd performs services of the client as well, this is a problem.
If CONFIG_NfSD_TCP is not set, and a tcp mount is used, the server will not be
able to call back to lockd.

So:
 - add an option to lockd_up saying which protocol is needed
 - Always open sockets for which an explicit port was given, otherwise
   only open a socket of the type required
 - Change nfsd to do one lockd_up per socket rather than one per thread.

This
 - removes the dependancy on CONFIG_NFSD_TCP
 - means that lockd may open sockets other than at startup
 - means that lockd will *not* listen on UDP if the only
   mounts are TCP mount (and nfsd hasn't started).

The latter is the only one that concerns me at all - I don't know if this
might be a problem with some servers.

semaphore except reset_vc when it is called from fn_SAK or do_SAK both of
which appear to be in interrupt context.  In addition I need to be careful
because in the presence of an oops the console_sem may be arbitrarily
dropped.

Which leads me to conclude the current locking is inadequate for my needs.

Given the weird cases we could hit because of oops printing instead of
introducing an extra spin lock to protect the data and keep the pid to
signal and the signal to send in sync, I have opted to use xchg on just the
struct pid * pointer instead.

Due to console_sem we will stay in sync between vt_pid and vt_mode except
for a small window during a SAK, or oops handling.  SAK handling should
kill any user space process that care, and oops handling we are broken
anyway.  Besides the worst that can happen is that I try to send the wrong
signal.

[PATCH] pid: implement access helpers for a tacks various process groups

In the last round of cleaning up the pid hash table a more general struct pid
was introduced, that can be referenced counted.

With the more general struct pid most if not all places where we store a pid_t
we can now store a struct pid * and remove the need for a hash table lookup,

Looking forward to the pid namespaces struct pid * gives us an absolute form a
pid so we can compare and use them without caring which pid namespace we are
in.

This patchset introduces the infrastructure needed to use struct pid instead
of pid_t, and then it goes on to convert two different kernel users that
currently store a pid_t value.

There are a lot more places to go but this is enough to get the basic idea.

Before we can merge a pid namespace patch all of the kernel pid_t users need
to be examined.  Those that deal with user space processes need to be
converted to using a struct pid *.  Those that deal with kernel processes need
to converted to using the kthread api.  A rare few that only use their current
processes pid values get to be left alone.

This patch:

task_session returns the struct pid of a tasks session.
task_pgrp    returns the struct pid of a tasks process group.
task_tgid    returns the struct pid of a tasks thread group.
task_pid     returns the struct pid of a tasks process id.

[PATCH] proc: readdir race fix (take 3)

The problem: An opendir, readdir, closedir sequence can fail to report
process ids that are continually in use throughout the sequence of system
calls.  For this race to trigger the process that proc_pid_readdir stops at
must exit before readdir is called again.

This can cause ps to fail to report processes, and it is in violation of
posix guarantees and normal application expectations with respect to
readdir.

Currently there is no way to work around this problem in user space short
of providing a gargantuan buffer to user space so the directory read all
happens in on system call.

This patch implements the normal directory semantics for proc, that
guarantee that a directory entry that is neither created nor destroyed
while reading the directory entry will be returned.  For directory that are
either created or destroyed during the readdir you may or may not see them.
 Furthermore you may seek to a directory offset you have previously seen.

These are the guarantee that ext[23] provides and that posix requires, and
more importantly that user space expects.  Plus it is a simple semantic to
implement reliable service.  It is just a matter of calling readdir a
second time if you are wondering if something new has show up.

These better semantics are implemented by scanning through the pids in
numerical order and by making the file offset a pid plus a fixed offset.

The pid scan happens on the pid bitmap, which when you look at it is
remarkably efficient for a brute force algorithm.  Given that a typical
cache line is 64 bytes and thus covers space for 64*8 == 200 pids.  There
are only 40 cache lines for the entire 32K pid space.  A typical system
will have 100 pids or more so this is actually fewer cache lines we have to
look at to scan a linked list, and the worst case of having to scan the
entire pid bitmap is pretty reasonable.

If we need something more efficient we can go to a more efficient data
structure for indexing the pids, but for now what we have should be
sufficient.

In addition this takes no additional locks and is actually less code than
what we are doing now.

Also another very subtle bug in this area has been fixed.  It is possible
to catch a task in the middle of de_thread where a thread is assuming the
thread of it's thread group leader.  This patch carefully handles that case
so if we hit it we don't fail to return the pid, that is undergoing the
de_thread dance.

[PATCH] paravirt: optimize ptep establish for pae

The ptep_establish macro is only used on user-level PTEs, for P->P mapping
changes.  Since these always happen under protection of the pagetable lock,
the strong synchronization of a 64-bit cmpxchg is not needed, in fact, not
even a lock prefix needs to be used.  We can simply instead clear the P-bit,
followed by a normal set.  The write ordering is still important to avoid the
possibility of the TLB snooping a partially written PTE and getting a bad
mapping installed.

[PATCH] paravirt: kpte flush

Create a new PTE function which combines clearing a kernel PTE with the
subsequent flush.  This allows the two to be easily combined into a single
hypercall or paravirt-op.  More subtly, reverse the order of the flush for
kmap_atomic.  Instead of flushing on establishing a mapping, flush on clearing
a mapping.  This eliminates the possibility of leaving stale kmap entries
which may still have valid TLB mappings.  This is required for direct mode
hypervisors, which need to reprotect all mappings of a given page when
changing the page type from a normal page to a protected page (such as a page
table or descriptor table page).  But it also provides some nicer semantics
for real hardware, by providing extra debug-proofing against using stale
mappings, as well as ensuring that no stale mappings exist when changing the
cacheability attributes of a page, which could lead to cache conflicts when
two different types of mappings exist for the same page.

[PATCH] paravirt: combine flush accessed dirty.patch

Remove ptep_test_and_clear_{dirty|young} from i386, and instead use the
dominating functions, ptep_clear_flush_{dirty|young}.  This allows the TLB
page flush to be contained in the same macro, and allows for an eager
optimization - if reading the PTE initially returned dirty/accessed, we can
assume the fact that no subsequent update to the PTE which cleared accessed /
dirty has occurred, as the only way A/D bits can change without holding the
page table lock is if a remote processor clears them.  This eliminates an
extra branch which came from the generic version of the code, as we know that
no other CPU could have cleared the A/D bit, so the flush will always be
needed.

We still export these two defines, even though we do not actually define
the macros in the i386 code:

 #define __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_YOUNG
 #define __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_DIRTY

The reason for this is that the only use of these functions is within the
generic clear_flush functions, and we want a strong guarantee that there
are no other users of these functions, so we want to prevent the generic
code from defining them for us.

[PATCH] paravirt: lazy mmu mode hooks.patch

Implement lazy MMU update hooks which are SMP safe for both direct and shadow
page tables.  The idea is that PTE updates and page invalidations while in
lazy mode can be batched into a single hypercall.  We use this in VMI for
shadow page table synchronization, and it is a win.  It also can be used by
PPC and for direct page tables on Xen.

For SMP, the enter / leave must happen under protection of the page table
locks for page tables which are being modified.  This is because otherwise,
you end up with stale state in the batched hypercall, which other CPUs can
race ahead of.  Doing this under the protection of the locks guarantees the
synchronization is correct, and also means that spurious faults which are
generated during this window by remote CPUs are properly handled, as the page
fault handler must re-check the PTE under protection of the same lock.
