Merge tag 'nfsd-5.11' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/cel/cel-2.6

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
"Several substantial changes this time around:

- Previously, exporting an NFS mount via NFSD was considered to be an
unsupported feature. With v5.11, the community has attempted to
make re-exporting a first-class feature of NFSD.

This would enable the Linux in-kernel NFS server to be used as an
intermediate cache for a remotely-located primary NFS server, for
example, even with other NFS server implementations, like a NetApp
filer, as the primary.

- A short series of patches brings support for multiple RPC/RDMA data
chunks per RPC transaction to the Linux NFS server's RPC/RDMA
transport implementation.

This is a part of the RPC/RDMA spec that the other premiere
NFS/RDMA implementation (Solaris) has had for a very long time, and
completes the implementation of RPC/RDMA version 1 in the Linux
kernel's NFS server.

- Long ago, NFSv4 support was introduced to NFSD using a series of C
macros that hid dprintk's and goto's. Over time, the kernel's XDR
implementation has been greatly improved, but these C macros have
remained and become fallow. A series of patches in this pull
request completely replaces those macros with the use of current
kernel XDR infrastructure. Benefits include:

- More robust input sanitization in NFSD's NFSv4 XDR decoders.

- Make it easier to use common kernel library functions that use
XDR stream APIs (for example, GSS-API).

- Align the structure of the source code with the RFCs so it is
easier to learn, verify, and maintain our XDR implementation.

- Removal of more than a hundred hidden dprintk() call sites.

- Removal of some explicit manipulation of pages to help make the
eventual transition to xdr->bvec smoother.

- On top of several related fixes in 5.10-rc, there are a few more
fixes to get the Linux NFSD implementation of NFSv4.2 inter-server
copy up to speed.

And as usual, there is a pinch of seasoning in the form of a
collection of unrelated minor bug fixes and clean-ups.

Many thanks to all who contributed this time around!"

nfsd: close cached files prior to a REMOVE or RENAME that would replace target

It's not uncommon for some workloads to do a bunch of I/O to a file and
delete it just afterward. If knfsd has a cached open file however, then
the file may still be open when the dentry is unlinked. If the
underlying filesystem is nfs, then that could trigger it to do a
sillyrename.

On a REMOVE or RENAME scan the nfsd_file cache for open files that
correspond to the inode, and proactively unhash and put their
references. This should prevent any delete-on-last-close activity from
occurring, solely due to knfsd's open file cache.

This must be done synchronously though so we use the variants that call
flush_delayed_fput. There are deadlock possibilities if you call
flush_delayed_fput while holding locks, however. In the case of
nfsd_rename, we don't even do the lookups of the dentries to be renamed
until we've locked for rename.

Once we've figured out what the target dentry is for a rename, check to
see whether there are cached open files associated with it. If there
are, then unwind all of the locking, close them all, and then reattempt
the rename.

None of this is really necessary for "typical" filesystems though. It's
mostly of use for NFS, so declare a new export op flag and use that to
determine whether to close the files beforehand.

nfsd: allow filesystems to opt out of subtree checking

When we start allowing NFS to be reexported, then we have some problems
when it comes to subtree checking. In principle, we could allow it, but
it would mean encoding parent info in the filehandles and there may not
be enough space for that in a NFSv3 filehandle.

To enforce this at export upcall time, we add a new export_ops flag
that declares the filesystem ineligible for subtree checking.

nfsd: add a new EXPORT_OP_NOWCC flag to struct export_operations

With NFSv3 nfsd will always attempt to send along WCC data to the
client. This generally involves saving off the in-core inode information
prior to doing the operation on the given filehandle, and then issuing a
vfs_getattr to it after the op.

Some filesystems (particularly clustered or networked ones) have an
expensive ->getattr inode operation. Atomicity is also often difficult
or impossible to guarantee on such filesystems. For those, we're best
off not trying to provide WCC information to the client at all, and to
simply allow it to poll for that information as needed with a GETATTR
RPC.

This patch adds a new flags field to struct export_operations, and
defines a new EXPORT_OP_NOWCC flag that filesystems can use to indicate
that nfsd should not attempt to provide WCC info in NFSv3 replies. It
also adds a blurb about the new flags field and flag to the exporting
documentation.

The server will also now skip collecting this information for NFSv2 as
well, since that info is never used there anyway.

Note that this patch does not add this flag to any filesystem
export_operations structures. This was originally developed to allow
reexporting nfs via nfsd.

Other filesystems may want to consider enabling this flag too. It's hard
to tell however which ones have export operations to enable export via
knfsd and which ones mostly rely on them for open-by-filehandle support,
so I'm leaving that up to the individual maintainers to decide. I am
cc'ing the relevant lists for those filesystems that I think may want to
consider adding this though.
