These latest changes are available in my git tree here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/snitzer/linux.git/log/?h=nfs-localio-for-next Significant progress was made on the entire series, I implemented all 3 changes NeilBrown suggested here: https://marc.info/?l=linux-nfs&m=172004547710968&w=2 And Neil kindly provided review of a preliminary v12 that I then used to refine this final v12 further. Neil found the series much cleaner and approachable. This v12 also switches the NFS client's localio code over to driving IO in terms of nfsd's nfsd_file (rather than a simple file pointer). I checked with Jeff Layton and he likes the switch to using nfsd_file (Jeff did suggest I make sure to keep struct nfsd_file completely opaque to the client). Proper use of nfsd_file provides a solid performance improvement (as detailed in the last patch's commit header) thanks especially to the nfsd filecache's GC feature (which localio now makes use of). Testing: - Chuck's kdevops NFS testing has been operating against the nfs-localio-for-next branch for a while now (not sure if LOCALIO is enabled or if Chuck is just verifying the branch works with LOCALIO disabled). - Verified all of Hammerspace's various sanity tests pass (this includes numerous pNFS and flexfiles tests). Please review, I'm hopeful I've addressed any outstanding issues and that these changes worthy of being merged for v6.12. If you see something, say something ;) Changes since v11: - The required localio specific changes in fs/nfsd/ are much simpler (thanks to the prelim patches that update common code to support the the localio case, fs/nfsd/localio.c in particular is now very lean) - Improved the localio protocol to address NeilBrown's issue #1. Replaced GETUUID with UUID_IS_LOCAL RPC, which inverts protocol such that client generates a nonce (shortlived single-use UUID) and proceeds to verify the server sees it in nfs_common. - this eliminated the need to add 'struct nfsd_uuid' to nfsd_net - Finished the RFC series NeilBrown started to introduce nfsd_file_acquire_local(), enables the use of a "fake" svc_rqst to be eliminated: https://marc.info/?l=linux-nfs&m=171980269529965&w=2 (uses auth_domain as suggested, addresses NeilBrown's issue #2) - rpcauth_map_clnt_to_svc_cred_local now uses userns of client and from_{kuid,kgid}_munged (hopefully addresses NeilBrown's issue #3) - Updated nfs_local_call_write() to override_creds() with the cred used by the client to open the localio file. - To avoid localio hitting writeback deadlock (same as is done for existing loopback NFSD support in nfsd_vfs_write() function): set PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE | PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO in nfs_local_call_write() and restore current->flags before return. - Factored nfs_stat_to_errno and nfs4_stat_to_errno out to nfs_common to eliminate localio code creating yet another copy of them. (eliminates existing duplication between fs/nfs/nfs[23]xdr.c) - Simplified Kconfig so that NFS_LOCALIO depends on NFS_FS and NFSD_LOCALIO depends on NFSD. - Only support localio if UNIX Authentication (AUTH_UNIX) is used. - Improved workqueue patch to not use wait_for_completion(). - Dropped 2 prelim fs/nfs/ patches that weren't actually needed. - Updated localio.rst to reflect the various changes listed above, also added a new "FAQ" section from Trond (which was informed by an in-person discussion about localio that Trond had with Christoph). - Fixed "nfsd: add nfsd_file_acquire_local()" commit to work with NFSv3 (had been testing with NFSv4.2 and the fact that NFSv3 regressed due to 'nfs_ver' not being properly initialized for non-LOCALIO callers was missed. - Fixed issue Neil reported where "When using localio, if I open, read, don't close, then try to stop the server and umount the exported filesystem I get EBUSY for the umount." - fix by removing refcount on localio file (no longer cache open localio file in the client). - Fixed nfsd tracepoints that were impacted by the possibility they'd be passed a NULL rqstp when using localio. - Rebased on cel/nfsd-next (based on v6.11-rc4) to layer upon Neil's various changes that were originally motivated by LOCALIO, reduces footprint of this patchset. - Exported nfsd_file interfaces needed to switch the nfs client's localio code over to using it. - Switched the the nfs client's localio code over to using nfsd_file.
