Change in ...nfs-ganesha[next]: Allow EXPORT pseudo path to be changed during export update
by Frank Filz (GerritHub)
Frank Filz has uploaded this change for review. ( https://review.gerrithub.io/c/ffilz/nfs-ganesha/+/490334 )
Change subject: Allow EXPORT pseudo path to be changed during export update
......................................................................
Allow EXPORT pseudo path to be changed during export update
This also fully allows adding or removing NFSv4 support from an export
since we can now handle the PseudoFS swizzing that occurs.
Note that an explicit PseudoFS export may be removed or added, though
you can not change it from export_id 0 because we currently don't allow
changing the export_id.
Note that this patch doesn't handle DBUS add or remove export though
that is an option to improve. I may add them to this patch (it wouldn't
be that hard) but I want to get this reviewed as is right now.
There are implications to a client of changing the PseudoFS. I have
tested moving an export in the PseudoFS with a client mounted. The
client will be able to continue accessing the export, though it may
see an ESTALE error if it navigates out of the export. The current
working directory will go bad and the pwd comment will fail indicating
a disconnected mount. I have also seen referencing .. from the root of
the export wrapping around back to the root (I believe this is how
disconnected mounts are set up).
FSAL_PSEUDO lookups and create handles (PUTFH or any use of an NFSv3
handle where the inode isn't cached) which fail during an export update
are instead turned into ERR_FSAL_DELAY which turns into NFS4ERR_DELAY or
NFS3ERR_JUKEBOX to force the client to retry under the completed update.

[M] Change in ...nfs-ganesha[next]: Remove state_exp from state_t
by Frank Filz (GerritHub)
Frank Filz has uploaded this change for review. ( https://review.gerrithub.io/c/ffilz/nfs-ganesha/+/540556 )
Change subject: Remove state_exp from state_t
......................................................................
Remove state_exp from state_t
Anywhere a state is actually being used, the export should be in
op context so op_ctx->state_exp can be used instead. This avoids
any possibility that the export in the state_t is no longer a valid
pointer (NULL values have been reported).

Unclaimable MDCache entries at the LRU end of L2 queue.
by Pradeep Thomas
Hello,
I'm hitting a scenario where the entry at the LRU end of L2 queue becomes active. But we don't move it to L1 - likely because the entry becomes active in the context of a readdir. The cache keeps growing to a point where kernel will invoke oom killer to terminate ganesha process.
When we reap entries (lru_reap_impl), could we look beyond LRU end - perhaps try a fixed number of entries? Another option is to garbage collect the L2 queue also and free claimable entries beyond LRU end of the queue(through mdcache_lru_release_entries()). Any other thoughts?
In the instance below, MDCache is supposed to be capped at 100K entries. But it grows to > 5 million entries (~17*310K).

Re: How FSAL readdir should report rdattr_error ?

What is the backend you are trying to implement on? You have mentioned VFS and kernel attr cache. Linux or some other OS?

Subject: Re: [NFS-Ganesha-Devel] Re: How FSAL readdir should report rdattr_error ?
Thank you Frank. Please know I am very very very new to ganesha and NFS :-)
What you are saying roughly matches what I think I saw when going through ganesha codebase. In particular, like you said, there is no field in struct attrlist to store the rdattr_err!
It may turn out that I don't need this feature so much after all. There is a story behind why I thought we may need this: it has to do with an observation that the kernel attr cache appeared to not be working. It is a long story. Would it be possible to arrange a zoom call to ask questions in that format? I understand if you prefer to stick to email.
Also, AFAICT you are replying to me directly rather than to the mailing list: https://lists.nfs-ganesha.org/archives/list/devel@lists.nfs-ganesha.org/t... .... Am I confused? Why not post to that thread? This is not a huge deal, I was just curious :-)
Thanks!

David,
OK, I’ve looked through the code some. While I coded some of that RDATTR_ERR stuff originally, I really can’t make sense of it anymore… If you feel like you might actually fail to get attributes, then you might want to set up a test that actually does so, and figure out what happens…
We do have support for NFSv4 junction crossing failing, but that’s handled up in the protocol layer not the FSAL layer.
One consideration is that in order to resolve a file handle to an object (or produce a file handle from LOOKUP or CREATE) we need the base attributes to know what type of object it is. And I do know that currently we don’t support partial sets of base (POSIX) attributes.
There doesn’t seem to be a mechanism to pass the actual error for RDATTR_ERR up from the FSAL (at the protocol layer we can produce NFS4ERR_MOVED or NFS4ERR_WRONGSEC).
So if you really do need to pass up RDATTR_ERR, we probably need some work to have fsal_status_t rdattr_err in struct attrlist so the error can be passed up. And then we need to figure where in GETATTR and READDIR we should handle the errors.

Subject: Re: [NFS-Ganesha-Devel] Re: How FSAL readdir should report rdattr_error ?
I do not have a specific scenario right now, but since I am working on a VFS I have to be prepared to properly implement the readdir API, and in particular the fsal_readdir_cb. The way I understand it, readdir takes a attrmask representing the requested attributes. My FSAL must invoke the fsal_readdir_cb once for every directory entry. If for whatever reason the FSAL cannot produce all the requested attributes, the NFSv4 protocol specifies that attribute "rdattr_error" (attribute 11) should be used. My question is how to implement this.
In ganesha fsals I see other functions that do stuff with RDATTR_ERR, for example proxyv4_getattrs has this snippet:
...
if (rc != NFS4_OK) {
if (attrs->request_mask & ATTR_RDATTR_ERR) {
/* Caller asked for error to be visible. */
attrs->valid_mask = ATTR_RDATTR_ERR;
}
return nfsstat4_to_fsal(rc);
}
...
Strangely I don't see anything similar for readdir. My guess is readdir should do this to signal a "read attribute error":
attrs->valid_mask = ATTR_RDATTR_ERR;
Can you confirm?
p.s. I am new to this mailing list, so I may be missing something but..... I don't see your reply to my message on https://lists.nfs-ganesha.org/archives/list/devel@lists.nfs-ganesha.org/t... .... Can you re-post your June 10 reply there so it is easily available to the whole community?
Thanks!

David,
Sorry, I meant to respond to this and got distracted. I will try and respond next week.
What attributes are you not able to provide?

How FSAL readdir should report rdattr_error ?
by David Rieber
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7530#section-16.24 covers READDIR. It says
"In some cases, the server may encounter an error while obtaining the attributes for a directory entry. Instead of returning an error for the entire READDIR operation, the server can instead return the attribute 'fattr4_rdattr_error'. With this, the server is able to communicate the failure to the client and not fail the entire operation in the instance of what might be a transient failure. Obviously, the client must request the fattr4_rdattr_error attribute for this method to work properly. If the client does not request the attribute, the server has no choice but to return failure for the entire READDIR operation."
I'm working in a team building a VFS. We want to support "readdirplus" style of readdir. If the VFS cannot get all attributes, my. FSAL must set the rdattr_error. How should it do that? The fsal_readdir_cb does not seem to have a way to express that. My guess is I must set bit ATTR_RDATTR_ERR on field fsal_attrlist.valid_mask on the attrs argument of fsal_readdir_cb.
