0cb2659b81 NLM: allow lockd requests from an unprivileged port
If the admin has specified the "noresvport" option for an NFS mount
point, the kernel's NFS client uses an unprivileged source port for
the main NFS transport.  The kernel's lockd client should use an
unprivileged port in this case as well.

d740351bf0 NFS: add "[no]resvport" mount option
The standard default security setting for NFS is AUTH_SYS.  An NFS
client connects to NFS servers via a privileged source port and a
fixed standard destination port (2049).  The client sends raw uid and
gid numbers to identify users making NFS requests, and the server
assumes an appropriate authority on the client has vetted these
values because the source port is privileged.

On Linux, by default in-kernel RPC services use a privileged port in
the range between 650 and 1023 to avoid using source ports of well-
known IP services.  Using such a small range limits the number of NFS
mount points and the number of unique NFS servers to which a client
can connect concurrently.

An NFS client can use unprivileged source ports to expand the range of
source port numbers, allowing more concurrent server connections and
more NFS mount points.  Servers must explicitly allow NFS connections
from unprivileged ports for this to work.

In the past, bumping the value of the sunrpc.max_resvport sysctl on
the client would permit the NFS client to use unprivileged ports.
Bumping this setting also changes the maximum port number used by
other in-kernel RPC services, some of which still required a port
number less than 1023.

This is exacerbated by the way source port numbers are chosen by the
Linux RPC client, which starts at the top of the range and works
downwards.  It means that bumping the maximum means all RPC services
requesting a source port will likely get an unprivileged port instead
of a privileged one.

Changing this setting effects all NFS mount points on a client.  A
sysadmin could not selectively choose which mount points would use
non-privileged ports and which could not.

Lastly, this mechanism of expanding the limit on the number of NFS
mount points was entirely undocumented.

To address the need for the NFS client to use a large range of source
ports without interfering with the activity of other in-kernel RPC
services, we introduce a new NFS mount option.  This option explicitly
tells only the NFS client to use a non-privileged source port when
communicating with the NFS server for one specific mount point.

This new mount option is called "resvport," like the similar NFS mount
option on FreeBSD and Mac OS X.  A sister patch for nfs-utils will be
submitted that documents this new option in nfs(5).

The default setting for this new mount option requires the NFS client
to use a privileged port, as before.  Explicitly specifying the
"noresvport" mount option allows the NFS client to use an unprivileged
source port for this mount point when connecting to the NFS server
port.

This mount option is supported only for text-based NFS mounts.

[ Sidebar: it is widely known that security mechanisms based on the
  use of privileged source ports are ineffective.  However, the NFS
  client can combine the use of unprivileged ports with the use of
  secure authentication mechanisms, such as Kerberos.  This allows a
  large number of connections and mount points while ensuring a useful
  level of security.

  Eventually we may change the default setting for this option
  depending on the security flavor used for the mount.  For example,
  if the mount is using only AUTH_SYS, then the default setting will
  be "resvport;" if the mount is using a strong security flavor such
  as krb5, the default setting will be "noresvport." ]

542fcc334a NFS: move nfs_server flag initialization
Make it possible for the NFSv4 mount set up logic to pass mount option
flags down the stack to nfs_create_rpc_client().

This is immediately useful if we want NFS mount options to modulate
settings of the underlying RPC transport, but it may be useful at some
later point if other parts of the NFSv4 mount initialization logic
want to know what the mount options are.

4a01b8a4ee NFS: expand flags passed to nfs_create_rpc_client()
The nfs_create_rpc_client() function sets up an RPC client for an NFS
mount point.  Add an option that allows it to set up an RPC transport

Instead of having nfs_create_rpc_client()'s callers retain local

arguments to control the use of RPC_CLNT_CREATE flags.

136221fc32 nfs: remove redundant tests on reading new pages
aops->readpages() and its NFS helper readpage_async_filler() will only
be called to do readahead I/O for newly allocated pages. So it's not
necessary to test for the always 0 dirty/uptodate page flags.

The removal of nfs_wb_page() call also fixes a readahead bug: the NFS
readahead has been synchronous since 2.6.23, because that call will
clear PG_readahead, which is the reminder for asynchronous readahead.

More background: the PG_readahead page flag is shared with PG_reclaim,
one for read path and the other for write path. clear_page_dirty_for_io()
unconditionally clears PG_readahead to prevent possible readahead residuals,
assuming itself to be always called in the write path. However, NFS is one
and the only exception in that it _always_ calls clear_page_dirty_for_io()
in the read path, i.e. for readpages()/readpage().

f696a3659f [PATCH] move executable checking into ->permission()
For execute permission on a regular files we need to check if file has
any execute bits at all, regardless of capabilites.

This check is normally performed by generic_permission() but was also
added to the case when the filesystem defines its own ->permission()
method.  In the latter case the filesystem should be responsible for
performing this check.

Move the check from inode_permission() inside filesystems which are
not calling generic_permission().

Create a helper function execute_ok() that returns true if the inode
is a directory or if any execute bits are present in i_mode.

Also fix up the following code:

 - coda control file is never executable
 - sysctl files are never executable
 - hfs_permission seems broken on MAY_EXEC, remove
 - hfsplus_permission is eqivalent to generic_permission(), remove

4f98a2fee8 vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets
Split the LRU lists in two, one set for pages that are backed by real file
systems ("file") and one for pages that are backed by memory and swap
("anon").  The latter includes tmpfs.

The advantage of doing this is that the VM will not have to scan over lots
of anonymous pages (which we generally do not want to swap out), just to
find the page cache pages that it should evict.

This patch has the infrastructure and a basic policy to balance how much
we scan the anon lists and how much we scan the file lists.  The big
policy changes are in separate patches.

It appears that 'jiffies' timestamps do not have high enough resolution for
nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(). One problem is that a GETATTR can be

Another problem is that RPC calls can take < 1 jiffy to execute.

that gets incremented every time we start another GETATTR call.

5e2e7721f0 NFS: fix nfs_parse_ip_address() corner case
Bruce observed that nfs_parse_ip_address() will successfully parse an
IPv6 address that looks like this:

  "::1%"

A scope delimiter is present, but there is no scope ID following it.
This is harmless, as it would simply set the scope ID to zero.  However,
in some cases we would like to flag this as an improperly formed
address.

We are now also careful to reject addresses where garbage follows the
address (up to the length of the string), instead of ignoring the
non-address characters; and where the scope ID is nonsense (not a valid
device name, but also not numeric).  Before, both of these cases would
result in a harmless zero scope ID.

03254e65a6 NFS: Fix attribute updates
This fixes a regression seen when running the Connectathon testsuite
against an ext3 filesystem. The reason was that the inode was constantly
being marked as 'just updated' by the jiffy wraparound test.
This again meant that newer GETATTR calls were failing to pass the
nfs_inode_attrs_need_update() test unless the changes caused a ctime update
on the server, since they were perceived as having been started before the
latest inode update.

Given that nfs_inode_attrs_need_update() already checks for wraparound
of nfsi->last_updated, we can drop the buggy "protection" in
nfs_update_inode().

Also make a slight micro-optimisation of nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(): we
are more often going to see time_after(fattr->time_start, nfsi->last_updated)
be true, rather than seeing an update of ctime/size, so put that test
first to ensure that we optimise away the ctime/size tests.

8491945f11 NFS: Client mounts hang when exported directory do not exist
This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by the string based mounts.

nfs_mount() statically returns -EACCES for every error returned
by the remote mounted. This is incorrect because -EACCES is
an non-fatal error to the mount.nfs command. This error causes
mount.nfs to retry the mount even in the case when the exported
directory does not exist.

This patch maps the errors returned by the remote mountd into
valid errno values, exactly how it was done pre-string based
mounts. By returning the correct errno enables mount.nfs
to do the right thing.

37ca8f5c60 nfs: authenticated deep mounting
Allow mount to do authenticated mounts below the root of the exported tree.
The wording in RFC 2623, sec 2.3.2. allows fsinfo with UNIX authentication
on the root of the export. Mounts are not always done on the root
of the exported tree. Especially autoumounts often mount below the root of
the exported tree.
Some server implementations (justly) require full authentication for the
so-called deep mounts. The old code used AUTH_SYS only. This caused deep
mounts to fail on systems requiring stronger authentication..
The client should try both authentication types and use the first one that
succeeds.
This method was already partially implemented. This patch completes
the implementation for NFS2 and NFS3.
This patch was developed to allow Debian systems to automount home directories
on Solaris servers with krb5 authentication.

691beb13cd NFS: Allow concurrent inode revalidation
Currently, if two processes are both trying to revalidate metadata for the
same inode, they will find themselves being serialised. There is no good
justification for this now that we have improved our ability to detect
stale attribute data, so we should remove that serialisation.

076f1fc94c NFS: Don't clear nfsi->cache_validity in nfs_check_inode_attributes()
If we're merely checking the inode attributes because we suspect that the
'updated' attributes returned by the RPC call are stale, then we shouldn't
be doing weak cache consistency updates or clearing the cache_validity
flags.

4dc05efb86 NFS: Convert __nfs_revalidate_inode() to use nfs_refresh_inode()
In the case where there are parallel RPC calls to the same inode, we may
receive stale metadata due to the lack of ordering, hence the sanity
checking of metadata in nfs_refresh_inode().
Currently, __nfs_revalidate_inode() is calling nfs_update_inode() directly,
without any further sanity checks, and hence may end up setting the inode
up with stale metadata.

Fix is to use nfs_refresh_inode() instead of nfs_update_inode().

d65f557f39 NFS: Fix nfs_post_op_update_inode_force_wcc()
If we believe that the attributes are old (see nfs_refresh_inode()), then
we shouldn't force an update.
Also ensure that we hold the inode->i_lock across attribute checks and the
call to nfs_refresh_inode_locked() to ensure that we don't race with other
attribute updates.

a10ad17630 NFS: Fix the NFS attribute update
Currently nfs_refresh_inode() will only update the inode metadata if it
sees that the RPC call that returned the nfs_fattr was started
after the last update of the inode. This means that if we have parallel
RPC calls to the same inode (when sending WRITE calls, for instance), we
may often miss updates.

This patch attempts to recover those missed updates by also accepting
them if the ctime in the nfs_fattr is more recent than the inode's
cached ctime.
It also recovers the case where the file size has increased, but the
ctime has not been updated due to limited ctime resolution.

870a5be8b9 NFS: Clean up nfs_refresh_inode() and nfs_post_op_update_inode()
Try to avoid taking and dropping the inode->i_lock more than once. Do so by
moving the code in nfs_refresh_inode() that needs to be done under the
spinlock into a function nfs_refresh_inode_locked(), and then having both
nfs_refresh_inode() and nfs_post_op_update_inode() call it directly.

ff3525a539 NFS: Don't apply NFS_MOUNT_FLAGMASK to text-based mounts
The point of introducing text-based mounts was to allow us to add
functionality without having to worry about legacy binary mount formats.
The mask should be there in order to ensure that binary formats don't start
enabling features that they cannot support. There is no justification for
applying it to the text mount path.

4eec952e42 NFS: Add options for finer control of the lookup cache
Add the flag NFS_MOUNT_LOOKUP_CACHE_NONEG to turn off the caching of
negative dentries. In reality what we do is to force
nfs_lookup_revalidate() to always discard negative dentries.

Add the flag NFS_MOUNT_LOOKUP_CACHE_NONE for enforcing stricter
revalidation of dentries. It forces the revalidate code to always do a
lookup instead of just checking the cached mtime of the parent directory.
