dd47f96c07 NFS: Revert default r/wsize behavior
When the "rsize=" or "wsize=" mount options are not specified,
text-based mounts have slightly different behavior than legacy binary
mounts.  Text-based mounts use the smaller of the server's maximum
and the client's maximum, but binary mounts use the smaller of the
server's _preferred_ size and the client's maximum.

This difference is actually pretty subtle.  Most servers advertise
the same value as their maximum and their preferred transfer size, so
the end result is the same in most cases.

The reason for this difference is that for text-based mounts, if
r/wsize are not specified, they are set to the largest value supported
by the client.  For legacy mounts, the values are set to zero if these
options are not specified.

nfs_server_set_fsinfo() can negotiate the transfer size defaults
correctly in any case.  There's no need to specify any particular
value as default in the text-based option parsing logic.

Note that nfs4 doesn't use nfs_server_set_fsinfo(), but the mount.nfs4
command does set rsize and wsize to 0 if the user didn't specify these
options.  So, make the same change for text-based NFSv4 mounts.

Thanks to James Pearson <james-p@moving-picture.com> for reporting and
diagnosing the problem.

ee671b016f NFS: convert proto= option to use netids rather than a protoname
Solaris uses netids as values for the proto= option, so that when
someone specifies "tcp6" they get traffic over TCP + IPv6. Until
recently, this has never really been an issue for Linux since it didn't
support NFS over IPv6. The netid and the protocol name were generally
always the same (modulo any strange configuration in /etc/netconfig).

The solaris manpage documents their proto= option as:

    proto= _netid_ | rdma

This patch is intended to bring Linux closer to how the Solaris proto=
option works, by declaring a static netid mapping in the kernel and
converting the proto= and mountproto= options to follow it and display
the proper values in /proc/mounts.

Much of this functionality will need to be provided by a userspace
mount.nfs patch. Chuck Lever has a patch to change mount.nfs in
the same way. In principle, we could do *all* of this in userspace but
that would mean that the options in /proc/mounts may not match the
options used by userspace.

The alternative to the static mapping here is to add a mechanism to
upcall to userspace for netid's. I'm not opposed to that option, but
it'll probably mean more overhead (and quite a bit more code). Rather
than shoot for that at first, I figured it was probably better to
start simply.

Comments welcome.

3050141bae NFSv4: Kill nfs4_renewd_prepare_shutdown()
The NFSv4 renew daemon is shared between all active super blocks that refer
to a particular NFS server, so it is wrong to be shutting it down in
nfs4_kill_super every time a super block is destroyed.

This patch therefore kills nfs4_renewd_prepare_shutdown altogether, and
leaves it up to nfs4_shutdown_client() to also shut down the renew daemon
by means of the existing call to nfs4_kill_renewd().

The recent changeset 53a0b9c4c9 (NFS: Replace

	NFSv4: Replace nfs4_path_walk() with VFS path lookup in a private namespace

uses VFS-driven automounting to reach all submounts barring the root, thus
preventing fscaching from being enabled on any submount other than the root.

This patch gets around that by propagating the NFS_OPTION_FSCACHE flag across
automounts.  If a uniquifier is supplied to a mount then this is propagated to
all automounts of that mount too.

5eecfde615 NFS: Handle a zero-length auth flavor list
Some releases of Linux rpc.mountd (nfs-utils 1.1.4 and later) return an
empty auth flavor list if no sec= was specified for the export.  This is
notably broken server behavior.

The new auth flavor list checking added in a recent commit rejects this
case.  The OpenSolaris client does too.

The broken mountd implementation is already widely deployed.  To avoid
a behavioral regression, the kernel's mount client skips flavor checking
(ie reverts to the pre-2.6.32 behavior) if mountd returns an empty
flavor list.

ec88f28d1e NFS: Use the authentication flavor list returned by mountd
Commit a14017db added support in the kernel's NFS mount client to
decode the authentication flavor list returned by mountd.

The NFS client can now use this list to determine whether the
authentication flavor requested by the user is actually supported
by the server.

Note we don't actually negotiate the security flavor if none was
specified by the user.  Instead, we try to use AUTH_SYS, and fail if
the server does not support it.  This prevents us from negotiating
an inappropriate security flavor (some servers list AUTH_NULL first).

If the server does not support AUTH_SYS, the user must provide an
appropriate security flavor by specifying the "sec=" mount option.

059f90b323 NFS: Fix auth flavor len accounting
Previous logic in the NFS mount parsing code path assumed
auth_flavor_len was set to zero for simple authentication flavors
(like AUTH_UNIX), and 1 for compound flavors (like AUTH_GSS).

At some earlier point (maybe even before the option parsers were
merged?) specific checks for auth_flavor_len being zero were removed
from the functions that validate the mount option that sets the mount
point's authentication flavor.

Since we are populating an array for authentication flavors, the
auth_flavor_len should always be set to the number of flavors.  Let's
eliminate some cleverness here, and prepare for new logic that needs
to know the number of flavors in the auth_flavors[] array.

(auth_flavors[] is an array because at some point we want to allow a
list of acceptable authentication flavors to be specified via the sec=
mount option.  For now it remains a single element array).

c02d7adf8c NFSv4: Replace nfs4_path_walk() with VFS path lookup in a private namespace
As noted in the previous patch, the NFSv4 client mount code currently
has several limitations. If the mount path contains symlinks, or
referrals, or even if it just contains a '..', then the client code in
nfs4_path_walk() will fail with an error.

This patch replaces the nfs4_path_walk()-based lookup with a helper
function that sets up a private namespace to represent the namespace on the
server, then uses the ordinary VFS and NFS path lookup code to walk down the
mount path in that namespace.

a5a16bae70 NFS: More "sloppy" parsing problems
Specifying "port=-5" with the kernel's current mount option parser
generates "unrecognized mount option".  If "sloppy" is set, this
causes the mount to succeed and use the default values; the desired
behavior is that, since this is a valid option with an invalid value,
the mount should fail, even with "sloppy."

To properly handle "sloppy" parsing, we need to distinguish between
correct options with invalid values, and incorrect options.  We will
need to parse integer values by hand, therefore, and not rely on
match_token().

For instance, these must all fail with "invalid value":

	port=12345678
	port=-5
	port=samuel

and not with "unrecognized option," as they do currently.

Thus, for the sake of match_token() we need to treat the values for
these options as strings, and do the conversion to integers using
strict_strtol().

This is basically the same solution we used for the earlier "retry="
fix (commit ecbb3845), except in this case the kernel actually has to
parse the value, rather than ignore it.

d23c45fd84 NFS: Invalid mount option values should always fail, even with "sloppy"
Ian Kent reports:

"I've noticed a couple of other regressions with the options vers
and proto option of mount.nfs(8).

The commands:

mount -t nfs -o vers=<invalid version> <server>:/<path> /<mountpoint>
mount -t nfs -o proto=<invalid proto> <server>:/<path> /<mountpoint>

both immediately fail.

But if the "-s" option is also used they both succeed with the
mount falling back to defaults (by the look of it).

In the past these failed even when the sloppy option was given, as
I think they should. I believe the sloppy option is meant to allow
the mount command to still function for mount options (for example
in shared autofs maps) that exist on other Unix implementations but
aren't present in the Linux mount.nfs(8). So, an invalid value
specified for a known mount option is different to an unknown mount
option and should fail appropriately."

(NFS: load the rpc/rdma transport module automatically) lead to the
'proto=' mount option doing a double free, while Opt_mountproto leaks a
string.

b797cac748 NFS: Add mount options to enable local caching on NFS
Add NFS mount options to allow the local caching support to be enabled.

The attached patch makes it possible for the NFS filesystem to be told to make
use of the network filesystem local caching service (FS-Cache).

To be able to use this, a recent nfsutils package is required.

There are three variant NFS mount options that can be added to a mount command
to control caching for a mount.  Only the last one specified takes effect:

 (*) Adding "fsc" will request caching.

 (*) Adding "fsc=<string>" will request caching and also specify a uniquifier.

 (*) Adding "nofsc" will disable caching.

For example:

	mount warthog:/ /a -o fsc

The cache of a particular superblock (NFS FSID) will be shared between all
mounts of that volume, provided they have the same connection parameters and
are not marked 'nosharecache'.

Where it is otherwise impossible to distinguish superblocks because all the
parameters are identical, but the 'nosharecache' option is supplied, a
uniquifying string must be supplied, else only the first mount will be
permitted to use the cache.

If there's a key collision, then the second mount will disable caching and give
a warning into the kernel log.

6a51091d07 NFS: Add some new I/O counters for FS-Cache doing things for NFS
Add some new NFS I/O counters for FS-Cache doing things for NFS.  A new line is
emitted into /proc/pid/mountstats if caching is enabled that looks like:

	fsc: <rok> <rfl> <wok> <wfl> <unc>

Where <rok> is the number of pages read successfully from the cache, <rfl> is
the number of failed page reads against the cache, <wok> is the number of
successful page writes to the cache, <wfl> is the number of failed page writes
to the cache, and <unc> is the number of NFS pages that have been disconnected
from the cache.

08734048b3 NFS: Define and create superblock-level objects
Define and create superblock-level cache index objects (as managed by
nfs_server structs).

Each superblock object is created in a server level index object and is itself
an index into which inode-level objects are inserted.

Ideally there would be one superblock-level object per server, and the former
would be folded into the latter; however, since the "nosharecache" option
exists this isn't possible.

The superblock object key is a sequence consisting of:

 (1) Certain superblock s_flags.

 (2) Various connection parameters that serve to distinguish superblocks for
     sget().

 (3) The volume FSID.

 (4) The security flavour.

 (5) The uniquifier length.

 (6) The uniquifier text.  This is normally an empty string, unless the fsc=xyz
     mount option was used to explicitly specify a uniquifier.

The key blob is of variable length, depending on the length of (6).

The superblock object is given no coherency data to carry in the auxiliary data
permitted by the cache.  It is assumed that the superblock is always coherent.

This patch also adds uniquification handling such that two otherwise identical
superblocks, at least one of which is marked "nosharecache", won't end up
trying to share the on-disk cache.  It will be possible to manually provide a
uniquifier through a mount option with a later patch to avoid the error
otherwise produced.

a67d18f89f NFS: load the rpc/rdma transport module automatically
When mounting an NFS/RDMA server with the "-o proto=rdma" or
"-o rdma" options, attempt to dynamically load the necessary
"xprtrdma" client transport module. Doing so improves usability,
while avoiding a static module dependency and any unnecesary
resources.

515d861177 NFSv4: Clean up the support for returning multiple delegations
Add a flag to mark delegations as requiring return, then run a garbage
collector. In the future, this will allow for more flexible delegation
management, where delegations may be marked for return if it turns out
that they are not being referenced.

50a737f86d NFS: "[no]resvport" mount option changes mountd client too
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 mountd client should use an
unprivileged port in this case as well.
