# 247116 21-Feb-2013 jhb

Further refine the handling of stop signals in the NFS client. The
changes in r246417 were incomplete as they did not add explicit calls to
sigdeferstop() around all the places that previously passed SBDRY to
_sleep(). In addition, nfs_getcacheblk() could trigger a write RPC from
getblk() resulting in sigdeferstop() recursing. Rather than manually
deferring stop signals in specific places, change the VFS_*() and VOP_*()
methods to defer stop signals for filesystems which request this behavior
via a new VFCF_SBDRY flag. Note that this has to be a VFC flag rather than
a MNTK flag so that it works properly with VFS_MOUNT() when the mount is
not yet fully constructed. For now, only the NFS clients are set this new
flag in VFS_SET().

A few other related changes:
- Add an assertion to ensure that TDF_SBDRY doesn't leak to userland.
- When a lookup request uses VOP_READLINK() to follow a symlink, mark
the request as being on behalf of the thread performing the lookup
(cnp_thread) rather than using a NULL thread pointer. This causes
NFS to properly handle signals during this VOP on an interruptible
mount.

# 246417 06-Feb-2013 jhb

Rework the handling of stop signals in the NFS client. The changes in
195702, 195703, and 195821 prevented a thread from suspending while holding
locks inside of NFS by forcing the thread to fail sleeps with EINTR or
ERESTART but defer the thread suspension to the user boundary. However,
this had the effect that stopping a process during an NFS request could
abort the request and trigger EINTR errors that were visible to userland
processes (previously the thread would have suspended and completed the
request once it was resumed).

This change instead effectively masks stop signals while in the NFS client.
It uses the existing TDF_SBDRY flag to effect this since SIGSTOP cannot
be masked directly. Also, instead of setting PBDRY on individual sleeps,
the NFS client now sets the TDF_SBDRY flag around each NFS request and
stop signals are masked for all sleeps during that region (the previous
change missed sleeps in lockmgr locks). The end result is that stop
signals sent to threads performing an NFS request are completely
ignored until after the NFS request has finished processing and the
thread prepares to return to userland. This restores the behavior of
stop signals being transparent to userland processes while still
preventing threads from suspending while holding NFS locks.

Further cleanups to use of timestamps in NFS:
- Use NFSD_MONOSEC (which maps to time_uptime) instead of the seconds
portion of wall-time stamps to manage timeouts on events.
- Remove unused nd_starttime from the per-request structure in the new
NFS server.
- Use nanotime() for the modification time on a delegation to get as
precise a time as possible.
- Use time_second instead of extracting the second from a call to
getmicrotime().

# 228757 21-Dec-2011 rmacklem

jwd@ reported a problem via email where the old NFS client would
get a reply of EEXIST from an NFS server when a Mkdir RPC was retried,
for an NFS over UDP mount.
Upon investigation, it was found that the client was retransmitting
the Mkdir RPC request over UDP, but with a different xid. As such,
the retransmitted message would miss the Duplicate Request Cache
in the server, causing it to reply EEXIST. The kernel client side
UDP rpc code has two timers. The first one causes a retransmit using
the same xid and socket and was set to a fixed value of 3seconds.
(The default can be overridden via CLSET_RETRY_TIMEOUT.)
The second one creates a new socket and xid and should be larger
than the first. However, both NFS clients were setting the second
timer to nm_timeo ("timeout=<value>" mount argument), which defaulted to
1second, so the first timer would never time out.
This patch fixes both NFS clients so that they set the first timer
using nm_timeo and makes the second timer larger than the first one.

The old NFS client will crash due to the reply being m_freem()'d
twice if the server bogusly returns an error with the NFSERR_RETERR
bit (bit 31) set. No actual NFS error has this bit set, but it seems
that amd will sometimes do this. This patch makes sure the NFSERR_RETERR
bit is cleared to avoid a crash.

# 223309 19-Jun-2011 rmacklem

Fix the kgssapi so that it can be loaded as a module. Currently
the NFS subsystems use five of the rpcsec_gss/kgssapi entry points,
but since it was not obvious which others might be useful, all
nineteen were included. Basically the nineteen entry points are
set in a structure called rpc_gss_entries and inline functions
defined in sys/rpc/rpcsec_gss.h check for the entry points being
non-NULL and then call them. A default value is returned otherwise.

# 203732 09-Feb-2010 marius

- Move nfs_realign() from the NFS client to the shared NFS code and
remove the NFS server version in order to reduce code duplication.
The shared version now uses a second parameter how, which is passed
on to m_get(9) and m_getcl(9) as the server used M_WAIT while the
client requires M_DONTWAIT, and replaces the the previously unused
parameter hsiz.
- Change nfs_realign() to use nfsm_aligned() so as with other NFS code
the alignment check isn't actually performed on platforms without
strict alignment requirements for performance reasons because as the
comment suggests unaligned data only occasionally occurs with TCP.
- Change fha_extract_info() to use nfs_realign() with M_DONTWAIT rather
than M_WAIT because it's called with the RPC sp_lock held.

# 190293 22-Mar-2009 rwatson

Add dtnfsclient, a first cut at an NFSv2/v3 client reuest DTrace
provider. The NFS client exposes 'start' and 'done' probes for NFSv2
and NFSv3 RPCs when using the new RPC implementation, passing in the
vnode, mbuf chain, credential, and NFSv2 or NFSv3 procedure number.
For 'done' probes, the error number is also available.

Probes are named in the following way:

...
nfsclient:nfs2:write:start
nfsclient:nfs2:write:done
...
nfsclient:nfs3:access:start
nfsclient:nfs3:access:done
...

Access to the unmarshalled arguments is not easily available at this
point in the stack, but the passed probe arguments are sufficient to
to a lot of interesting things in practice. Technically, these probes
may cover multiple RPC retransmits, and even transactions if the
transaction ID change as a result of authentication failure or a
jukebox error from the server, but usefully capture the intent of a
single NFS request, such as access, getattr, write, etc.

Typical use might involve profiling RPC latency by system call, number
of RPCs, how often a getattr leads to a call to access, when failed
access control checks occur, etc. More detailed RPC information might
best be provided by adding a krpc provider. It would also be useful
to add NFS client probes for events such as the access cache or
attribute cache satisfying requests without an RPC.

# 184588 03-Nov-2008 dfr

Implement support for RPCSEC_GSS authentication to both the NFS client
and server. This replaces the RPC implementation of the NFS client and
server with the newer RPC implementation originally developed
(actually ported from the userland sunrpc code) to support the NFS
Lock Manager. I have tested this code extensively and I believe it is
stable and that performance is at least equal to the legacy RPC
implementation.

The NFS code currently contains support for both the new RPC
implementation and the older legacy implementation inherited from the
original NFS codebase. The default is to use the new implementation -
add the NFS_LEGACYRPC option to fall back to the old code. When I
merge this support back to RELENG_7, I will probably change this so
that users have to 'opt in' to get the new code.

To use RPCSEC_GSS on either client or server, you must build a kernel
which includes the KGSSAPI option and the crypto device. On the
userland side, you must build at least a new libc, mountd, mount_nfs
and gssd. You must install new versions of /etc/rc.d/gssd and
/etc/rc.d/nfsd and add 'gssd_enable=YES' to /etc/rc.conf.

As long as gssd is running, you should be able to mount an NFS
filesystem from a server that requires RPCSEC_GSS authentication. The
mount itself can happen without any kerberos credentials but all
access to the filesystem will be denied unless the accessing user has
a valid ticket file in the standard place (/tmp/krb5cc_<uid>). There
is currently no support for situations where the ticket file is in a
different place, such as when the user logged in via SSH and has
delegated credentials from that login. This restriction is also
present in Solaris and Linux. In theory, we could improve this in
future, possibly using Brooks Davis' implementation of variant
symlinks.

Supporting RPCSEC_GSS on a server is nearly as simple. You must create
service creds for the server in the form 'nfs/<fqdn>@<REALM>' and
install them in /etc/krb5.keytab. The standard heimdal utility ktutil
makes this fairly easy. After the service creds have been created, you
can add a '-sec=krb5' option to /etc/exports and restart both mountd
and nfsd.

The only other difference an administrator should notice is that nfsd
doesn't fork to create service threads any more. In normal operation,
there will be two nfsd processes, one in userland waiting for TCP
connections and one in the kernel handling requests. The latter
process will create as many kthreads as required - these should be
visible via 'top -H'. The code has some support for varying the number
of service threads according to load but initially at least, nfsd uses
a fixed number of threads according to the value supplied to its '-n'
option.
