NFS: Ensure that writepage respects the nonblock flag

commit b608b283a962caaa280756bc8563016a71712acf

Author: Trond Myklebust <[email protected]>
Date:   Fri Jul 30 15:31:54 2010 -0400

NFS: kswapd must not block in nfs_release_page

See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16056

If other processes are blocked waiting for kswapd to free up some memory so that they can make progress, then we cannot allow kswapd to block on those processes.

commit 674b2222920012244ca59978b356b25412a8dcc7

Author: Dan Carpenter <[email protected]>
Date:   Tue Jul 13 13:34:59 2010 +0200
    nfs: include space for the NUL in root path
    
    In root_nfs_name() it does the following:
    
            if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) > NFS_MAXPATHLEN) {
                    printk(KERN_ERR "Root-NFS: Pathname for remote directory too long.\n");
                    return -1;
            }
            sprintf(nfs_export_path, buf, cp);
    
    In the original code if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) == NFS_MAXPATHLEN)
    then the sprintf() would lead to an overflow.  Generally the rest of the
    code assumes that the path can have NFS_MAXPATHLEN (1024) characters and
    a NUL terminator so the fix is to add space to the nfs_export_path[]
    buffer.

FYI, these commits introduced a build failure on x86:

fs/nfs/file.c:508: error: implicit declaration of function ‘nfs_commit_inode’

The nfs_commit_inode() prototype:

#if defined(CONFIG_NFS_V3) || defined(CONFIG_NFS_V4) extern int nfs_commit_inode(struct inode *, int); extern struct nfs_write_data *nfs_commitdata_alloc(void); extern void nfs_commit_free(struct nfs_write_data *wdata); #endif

is missing if the kernel is configured for legacy NFS:

CONFIG_NFS_FS=y
# CONFIG_NFS_V3 is not set
# CONFIG_NFS_V4 is not set

The fix below solves the build problem here, but I have not tested whether NFS still works fine for this config.

Thanks,

Ingo

No, I think perhaps the '#if' line should just be moved down one line. The other function still only exist for V3/V4, it's just nfs_commit_inode() that is available (as a stub that just returns 0) for V2.

But maybe that stub should be made an inline function or #define?

Trond?

Sorry. I was intending to put that declaration outside the #ifdef. The stub function is still declared in fs/nfs/write.c

I'll convert it into an inlined stub just as it was prior to commit 8fc795f703c5138e1a8bfb88c69f52632031aa6a.

PATCH 1/1 NFS: Fix a typo in include/linux/nfs_fs.h

nfs_commit_inode() needs to be defined irrespectively of whether or not we are supporting NFSv3 and NFSv4.
Allow the compiler to optimise away code in the NFSv2-only case by converting it into an inlined stub function.

Btw, is there a reason to allow not building NFSv3? If at all building without v2 support would be more useful.

I am planning to separate nfsv2, nfsv3 and nfsv4 into loadable submodules at some point in the not-too-distant future. That seems like a better solution than these CONFIG suboptions that keep tripping us up.

Cheers
Trond
