839049a873 nfsd/idmap: drop special request deferal in favour of improved default.
The idmap code manages request deferal by waiting for a reply from
userspace rather than putting the NFS request on a queue to be retried
from the start.

1ebede86b8 sunrpc: close connection when a request is irretrievably lost.
If we drop a request in the sunrpc layer, either due kmalloc failure,
or due to a cache miss when we could not queue the request for later
replay, then close the connection to encourage the client to retry sooner.

Note that if the drop happens in the NFS layer, NFSERR_JUKEBOX
(aka NFS4ERR_DELAY) is returned to guide the client concerning
replay.

0649752458 nfsd4: fix hang on fast-booting nfs servers
The last_close field of a cache_detail is initialized to zero, so the
condition

	detail->last_close < seconds_since_boot() - 30

may be false even for a cache that was never opened.

However, we want to immediately fail upcalls to caches that were never
opened: in the case of the auth_unix_gid cache, especially, which may
never be opened by mountd (if the --manage-gids option is not set), we
want to fail the upcall immediately.  Otherwise client requests will be
dropped unnecessarily on reboot.

Also document these conditions.

827e345702 SUNRPC: Fix the NFSv4 and RPCSEC_GSS Kconfig dependencies
The NFSv4 client's callback server calls svc_gss_principal(), which
is defined in the auth_rpcgss.ko

The NFSv4 server has the same dependency, and in addition calls
svcauth_gss_flavor(), gss_mech_get_by_pseudoflavor(),
gss_pseudoflavor_to_service() and gss_mech_put() from the same module.

The module auth_rpcgss itself has no dependencies aside from sunrpc,
so we only need to select RPCSEC_GSS.

fbf3fdd244 statfs() gives ESTALE error
Hi,

An NFS client executes a statfs("file", &buff) call.
"file" exists / existed, the client has read / written it,
but it has already closed it.

user_path(pathname, &path) looks up "file" successfully in the
directory-cache  and restarts the aging timer of the directory-entry.
Even if "file" has already been removed from the server, because the
lookupcache=positive option I use, keeps the entries valid for a while.

nfs_statfs() returns ESTALE if "file" has already been removed from the
server.

If the user application repeats the statfs("file", &buff) call, we
are stuck: "file" remains young forever in the directory-cache.

b1bde04c6d Remove incorrect do_vfs_lock message
The do_vfs_lock function on fs/nfs/file.c is only called if NLM is
not being used, via the -onolock mount option. Therefore it cannot
really be "out of sync with lock manager" when the local locking
function called returns an error, as there will be no corresponding
call to the NLM. For details, simply check the if/else on do_setlk
and do_unlk on fs/nfs/file.c.

5a67657a2e SUNRPC: Fix race corrupting rpc upcall
If rpc_queue_upcall() adds a new upcall to the rpci->pipe list just
after rpc_pipe_release calls rpc_purge_list(), but before it calls
gss_pipe_release (as rpci->ops->release_pipe(inode)), then the latter
will free a message without deleting it from the rpci->pipe list.

We will be left with a freed object on the rpc->pipe list.  Most
frequent symptoms are kernel crashes in rpc.gssd system calls on the
pipe in question.

f2d47d02fd Fix null dereference in call_allocate
In call_allocate we need to reach the auth in order to factor au_cslack
into the allocation.

As of a17c2153d2 "SUNRPC: Move the bound
cred to struct rpc_rqst", call_allocate attempts to do this by
dereferencing tk_client->cl_auth, however this is not guaranteed to be
defined--cl_auth can be zero in the case of gss context destruction (see
rpc_free_auth).

Reorder the client state machine to bind credentials before allocating,
so that we can instead reach the auth through the cred.

6715045ddc PM / Hibernate: Avoid hitting OOM during preallocation of memory
There is a problem in hibernate_preallocate_memory() that it calls
preallocate_image_memory() with an argument that may be greater than
the total number of available non-highmem memory pages.  If that's
the case, the OOM condition is guaranteed to trigger, which in turn
can cause significant slowdown to occur during hibernation.

To avoid that, make preallocate_image_memory() adjust its argument
before calling preallocate_image_pages(), so that the total number of
saveable non-highem pages left is not less than the minimum size of
a hibernation image.  Change hibernate_preallocate_memory() to try to
allocate from highmem if the number of pages allocated by
preallocate_image_memory() is too low.

Modify free_unnecessary_pages() to take all possible memory
allocation patterns into account.

0109c2c48d PM QoS: Correct pr_debug() misuse and improve parameter checks
Correct some pr_debug() misuse and add a stronger parameter check to
pm_qos_write() for the ASCII hex value case.  Thanks to Dan Carpenter
for pointing out the problem!

51749e47e1 xfs: log IO completion workqueue is a high priority queue
The workqueue implementation in 2.6.36-rcX has changed, resulting
in the workqueues no longer having dedicated threads for work
processing. This has caused severe livelocks under heavy parallel
create workloads because the log IO completions have been getting
held up behind metadata IO completions.  Hence log commits would
stall, memory allocation would stall because pages could not be
cleaned, and lock contention on the AIL during inode IO completion
processing was being seen to slow everything down even further.

By making the log Io completion workqueue a high priority workqueue,
they are queued ahead of all data/metadata IO completions and
processed before the data/metadata completions. Hence the log never
gets stalled, and operations needed to clean memory can continue as
quickly as possible. This avoids the livelock conditions and allos
the system to keep running under heavy load as per normal.

9aea5a65aa execve: make responsive to SIGKILL with large arguments
An execve with a very large total of argument/environment strings
can take a really long time in the execve system call.  It runs
uninterruptibly to count and copy all the strings.  This change
makes it abort the exec quickly if sent a SIGKILL.

Note that this is the conservative change, to interrupt only for
SIGKILL, by using fatal_signal_pending().  It would be perfectly
correct semantics to let any signal interrupt the string-copying in
execve, i.e. use signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending().
We'll save that change for later, since it could have user-visible
consequences, such as having a timer set too quickly make it so that
an execve can never complete, though it always happened to work before.
