2011-05-19consistently use smb_buf_length as be32 for cifs (try 3)Steve French
There is one big endian field in the cifs protocol, the RFC1001 length, which cifs code (unlike in the smb2 code) had been handling as u32 until the last possible moment, when it was converted to be32 (its native form) before sending on the wire. To remove the last sparse endian warning, and to make this consistent with the smb2 implementation (which always treats the fields in their native size and endianness), convert all uses of smb_buf_length to be32. This version incorporates Christoph's comment about using be32_add_cpu, and fixes a typo in the second version of the patch.

2011-02-11cifs: don't always drop malformed replies on the floor (try #3)Jeff Layton
Slight revision to this patch...use min_t() instead of conditional assignment. Also, remove the FIXME comment and replace it with the explanation that Steve gave earlier. After receiving a packet, we currently check the header. If it's no good, then we toss it out and continue the loop, leaving the caller waiting on that response. In cases where the packet has length inconsistencies, but the MID is valid, this leads to unneeded delays. That's especially problematic now that the client waits indefinitely for responses. Instead, don't immediately discard the packet if checkSMB fails. Try to find a matching mid_q_entry, mark it as having a malformed response and issue the callback.

2011-01-31cifs: handle cancelled requests betterJeff Layton
Currently, when a request is cancelled via signal, we delete the mid immediately. If the request was already transmitted however, the client is still likely to receive a response. When it does, it won't recognize it however and will pop a printk. It's also a little dangerous to just delete the mid entry like this. We may end up reusing that mid. If we do then we could potentially get the response from the first request confused with the later one. Prevent the reuse of mids by marking them as cancelled and keeping them on the pending_mid_q list. If the reply comes in, we'll delete it from the list then. If it never comes, then we'll delete it at reconnect or when cifsd comes down.

2011-01-20cifs: use get/put_unaligned functions to access ByteCountJeff Layton
It's possible that when we access the ByteCount that the alignment will be off. Most CPUs deal with that transparently, but there's usually some performance impact. Some CPUs raise an exception on unaligned accesses. Fix this by accessing the byte count using the get_unaligned and put_unaligned inlined functions. While we're at it, fix the types of some of the variables that end up getting returns from these functions.

The NT_CANCEL command looks just like the original command, except for a few small differences. The send_nt_cancel function however currently takes a tcon, which we don't have in SendReceive and SendReceive2. Instead of "respinning" the entire header for an NT_CANCEL, just mangle the existing header by replacing just the fields we need. This means we don't need a tcon and allows us to call it from other places.

2011-01-20cifs: allow for different handling of received responseJeff Layton
In order to incorporate async requests, we need to allow for a more general way to do things on receive, rather than just waking up a process. Turn the task pointer in the mid_q_entry into a callback function and a generic data pointer. When a response comes in, or the socket is reconnected, cifsd can call the callback function in order to wake up the process. The default is to just wake up the current process which should mean no change in behavior for existing code. Also, clean up the locking in cifs_reconnect. There doesn't seem to be any need to hold both the srv_mutex and GlobalMid_Lock when walking the list of mids.

2011-01-20cifs: wait indefinitely for responsesJeff Layton
The client should not be timing out on individual SMB requests. Too much of the state between client and server is tied to the state of the socket. If we time out requests and issue spurious disconnects then that comprimises data integrity. Instead of doing this complicated dance where we try to decide how long to wait for a response for particular requests, have the client instead wait indefinitely for a response. Also, use a TASK_KILLABLE sleep here so that fatal signals will break out of this waiting. Later patches will add support for detecting dead peers and forcing reconnects based on that.

Start calculating auth response within a session. Move/Add pertinet data structures like session key, server challenge and ntlmv2_hash in a session structure. We should do the calculations within a session before copying session key and response over to server data structures because a session setup can fail. Only after a very first smb session succeeds, it copy/make its session key, session key of smb connection. This key stays with the smb connection throughout its life. sequence_number within server is set to 0x2. The authentication Message Authentication Key (mak) which consists of session key followed by client response within structure session_key is now dynamic. Every authentication type allocates the key + response sized memory within its session structure and later either assigns or frees it once the client response is sent and if session's session key becomes connetion's session key. ntlm/ntlmi authentication functions are rearranged. A function named setup_ntlm_resp(), similar to setup_ntlmv2_resp(), replaces function cifs_calculate_session_key(). size of CIFS_SESS_KEY_SIZE is changed to 16, to reflect the byte size of the key it holds.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-09-24cifs: convert oplock breaks to use slow_work facility (try #4)Jeff Layton
This is the fourth respin of the patch to convert oplock breaks to use the slow_work facility. A customer of ours was testing a backport of one of the earlier patchsets, and hit a "Busy inodes after umount..." problem. An oplock break job had raced with a umount, and the superblock got torn down and its memory reused. When the oplock break job tried to dereference the inode->i_sb, the kernel oopsed. This patchset has the oplock break job hold an inode and vfsmount reference until the oplock break completes. With this, there should be no need to take a tcon reference (the vfsmount implicitly holds one already). Currently, when an oplock break comes in there's a chance that the oplock break job won't occur if the allocation of the oplock_q_entry fails. There are also some rather nasty races in the allocation and handling these structs. Rather than allocating oplock queue entries when an oplock break comes in, add a few extra fields to the cifsFileInfo struct. Get rid of the dedicated cifs_oplock_thread as well and queue the oplock break job to the slow_work thread pool. This approach also has the advantage that the oplock break jobs can potentially run in parallel rather than be serialized like they are today.

2008-12-26cifs: fix wait_for_response to time out sleeping processes correctlyJeff Layton
cifs: fix wait_for_response to time out sleeping processes correctly The current scheme that CIFS uses to sleep and wait for a response is not quite what we want. After sending a request, wait_for_response puts the task to sleep with wait_event(). One of the conditions for wait_event is a timeout (using time_after()). The problem with this is that there is no guarantee that the process will ever be woken back up. If the server stops sending data, then cifs_demultiplex_thread will leave its response queue sleeping. I think the only thing that saves us here is the fact that cifs_dnotify_thread periodically (every 15s) wakes up sleeping processes on all response_q's that have calls in flight. This makes for unnecessary wakeups of some processes. It also means large variability in the timeouts since they're all woken up at once. Instead of this, put the tasks to sleep with wait_event_timeout. This makes them wake up on their own if they time out. With this change, cifs_dnotify_thread should no longer be needed. I've been testing this in conjunction with some other patches that I'm working on. It doesn't seem to affect performance at all with with heavy I/O. Identical iozone -ac runs complete in almost exactly the same time (<1% difference in times). Thanks to Wasrshi Nimara for initially pointing this out.

2008-10-29[CIFS] Reduce number of socket retries in large write pathSteve French
CIFS in some heavy stress conditions cifs could get EAGAIN repeatedly in smb_send2 which led to repeated retries and eventually failure of large writes which could lead to data corruption. There are three changes that were suggested by various network developers: 1) convert cifs from non-blocking to blocking tcp sendmsg (we left in the retry on failure) 2) change cifs to not set sendbuf and rcvbuf size for the socket (let tcp autotune the buffer sizes since that works much better in the TCP stack now) 3) if we have a partial frame sent in smb_send2, mark the tcp session as invalid (close the socket and reconnect) so we do not corrupt the remaining part of the SMB with the beginning of the next SMB. This does not appear to hurt performance measurably and has been run in various scenarios, but it definately removes a corruption that we were seeing in some high stress test cases.

2008-09-22cifs: don't use GFP_KERNEL with GFP_NOFSPekka Enberg
GFP_KERNEL and GFP_NOFS are mutually exclusive. If you combine them, you end up with plain GFP_KERNEL which can deadlock in cases where you really want GFP_NOFS.

2008-07-29[CIFS] cifs send2 not retrying enough in some cases on full socketShirish Pargaonkar
There are cases in which, on a full socket which requires retry on sending data by the app (cifs in this case), that we were not retrying since we did not reinitialize a counter. This fixes the retry logic to retry up to 15 seconds on stuck sockets. Signed-off-by: Shirish Pargaonkar <shirishp@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
2008-04-15[CIFS] Fix oops when slow oplock process races with unmountSteve French
If a tcon is being freed in call tconInfoFree, clean up any entries that may exist in global oplock queue as the tcon structure hanging off of those entries will be invalid and can cause oops while accesing any elements in the tcon structure.

2008-02-12[CIFS] clean up some hard to read ifdefsSteve French
Christoph had noticed too many ifdefs in the CIFS code making it hard to read. This patch removes about a quarter of them from the C files in cifs by improving a few key ifdefs in the .h files. Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
