This code merge adds a pNFS service to the NFSv4.1 server. Although it is
a large commit it should not affect behaviour for a non-pNFS NFS server.
Some documentation on how this works can be found at:
http://people.freebsd.org/~rmacklem/pnfs-planb-setup.txt
and will hopefully be turned into a proper document soon.
This is a merge of the kernel code. Userland and man page changes will
come soon, once the dust settles on this merge.
It has passed a "make universe", so I hope it will not cause build problems.
It also adds NFSv4.1 server support for the "current stateid".
Here is a brief overview of the pNFS service:
A pNFS service separates the Read/Write oeprations from all the other NFSv4.1
Metadata operations. It is hoped that this separation allows a pNFS service
to be configured that exceeds the limits of a single NFS server for either
storage capacity and/or I/O bandwidth.
It is possible to configure mirroring within the data servers (DSs) so that
the data storage file for an MDS file will be mirrored on two or more of
the DSs.
When this is used, failure of a DS will not stop the pNFS service and a
failed DS can be recovered once repaired while the pNFS service continues
to operate. Although two way mirroring would be the norm, it is possible
to set a mirroring level of up to four or the number of DSs, whichever is
less.
The Metadata server will always be a single point of failure,
just as a single NFS server is.
A Plan B pNFS service consists of a single MetaData Server (MDS) and K
Data Servers (DS), all of which are recent FreeBSD systems.
Clients will mount the MDS as they would a single NFS server.
When files are created, the MDS creates a file tree identical to what a
single NFS server creates, except that all the regular (VREG) files will
be empty. As such, if you look at the exported tree on the MDS directly
on the MDS server (not via an NFS mount), the files will all be of size 0.
Each of these files will also have two extended attributes in the system
attribute name space:
pnfsd.dsfile - This extended attrbute stores the information that
the MDS needs to find the data storage file(s) on DS(s) for this file.
pnfsd.dsattr - This extended attribute stores the Size, AccessTime, ModifyTime
and Change attributes for the file, so that the MDS doesn't need to
acquire the attributes from the DS for every Getattr operation.
For each regular (VREG) file, the MDS creates a data storage file on one
(or more if mirroring is enabled) of the DSs in one of the "dsNN"
subdirectories. The name of this file is the file handle
of the file on the MDS in hexadecimal so that the name is unique.
The DSs use subdirectories named "ds0" to "dsN" so that no one directory
gets too large. The value of "N" is set via the sysctl vfs.nfsd.dsdirsize
on the MDS, with the default being 20.
For production servers that will store a lot of files, this value should
probably be much larger.
It can be increased when the "nfsd" daemon is not running on the MDS,
once the "dsK" directories are created.
For pNFS aware NFSv4.1 clients, the FreeBSD server will return two pieces
of information to the client that allows it to do I/O directly to the DS.
DeviceInfo - This is relatively static information that defines what a DS
is. The critical bits of information returned by the FreeBSD
server is the IP address of the DS and, for the Flexible
File layout, that NFSv4.1 is to be used and that it is
"tightly coupled".
There is a "deviceid" which identifies the DeviceInfo.
Layout - This is per file and can be recalled by the server when it
is no longer valid. For the FreeBSD server, there is support
for two types of layout, call File and Flexible File layout.
Both allow the client to do I/O on the DS via NFSv4.1 I/O
operations. The Flexible File layout is a more recent variant
that allows specification of mirrors, where the client is
expected to do writes to all mirrors to maintain them in a
consistent state. The Flexible File layout also allows the
client to report I/O errors for a DS back to the MDS.
The Flexible File layout supports two variants referred to as
"tightly coupled" vs "loosely coupled". The FreeBSD server always
uses the "tightly coupled" variant where the client uses the
same credentials to do I/O on the DS as it would on the MDS.
For the "loosely coupled" variant, the layout specifies a
synthetic user/group that the client uses to do I/O on the DS.
The FreeBSD server does not do striping and always returns
layouts for the entire file. The critical information in a layout
is Read vs Read/Writea and DeviceID(s) that identify which
DS(s) the data is stored on.
At this time, the MDS generates File Layout layouts to NFSv4.1 clients
that know how to do pNFS for the non-mirrored DS case unless the sysctl
vfs.nfsd.default_flexfile is set non-zero, in which case Flexible File
layouts are generated.
The mirrored DS configuration always generates Flexible File layouts.
For NFS clients that do not support NFSv4.1 pNFS, all I/O operations
are done against the MDS which acts as a proxy for the appropriate DS(s).
When the MDS receives an I/O RPC, it will do the RPC on the DS as a proxy.
If the DS is on the same machine, the MDS/DS will do the RPC on the DS as
a proxy and so on, until the machine runs out of some resource, such as
session slots or mbufs.
As such, DSs must be separate systems from the MDS.

This patch adds support for the Flexible File Layout to the pNFS client.
Although the patch is rather large, it should only affect NFS mounts
using the "pnfs" option against pNFS servers that do not support File
Layout.
There are still a couple of things missing from the Flexible File Layout
client implementation:
- The code does not yet do a LayoutReturn with I/O error stats when
I/O error(s) occur when attempting to do I/O on a DS.
This will be fixed in a future commit, since it is important for the
MDS to know that I/O on a DS is failing.
- The current code does writes and commits to mirror DSs serially.
Making them happen concurrently will be done in a future commit,
after discussion on freebsd-current@ on the best way to do this.
- The code does not handle NFSv4.0 DSs. Since there is no extant pNFS
server that implements NFSv4.0 DSs and NFSv4.1 DSs makes more sense
now, I don't intend to implement this until there is a need for it.
There is support for NFSv4.1 and NFSv3 DSs.
This patch changes nfsv4_getipaddr() and nfsrpc_fillsa() to use
a sockaddr_in * and sockaddr_in6 * instead of sockaddr_storage, to
avoid allocating the latter on the stack. It also moves the nfsrpc_fillsa()
call to after the completion of parsing of the DeviceInfo reply from
the server. This patch is in preparation for addition of Flex File
Layout support in a future commit.
It only affects the "pnfs" NFSv4.1 client mount option and should not
have changed its semantics.
This patch adds "vers" and "minorvers" arguments to nfscl_reqstart().
The patch always passes them in as "0" and that implies no change
in semantics. These arguments will be used by a future commit that
adds support for the Flexible File Layout.
Make the NFSv4 pNFS client function nfsrpc_layoutget() a static, since it
is only used in sys/fs/nfsclient/nfs_clrpcops.c.
This prepares the code for future patches that add Flex File layout
support.
This patch adds a new function called nfsm_uiombuflist(), which is
similar to nfsm_uiombuf(), but doesn't not use the fields in
struct nfsrv_descript. This new function will be used by the pNFS client
for writing to mirrors using Flex Files layout.
The function is not yet called anywhere.
Also, get rid of #ifndef APPLE, which is ancient cruft left over from
the Mac OSX port of the NFSv4 client.
Simplify nfsrpc_layoutreturn() args. in preparation for the addition
of Flex File layout support, since File layout uses a 0 length field.
Flex Files does use a longer field, but that will be added in a
subsequent commit.
This patch adds support for AF_LOCAL socket upcalls to an nfsuserd daemon

option that will be added to the nfsuserd daemon in a future
commit. It modifies the cache used by NFSv4 for name<-->id
translation (both username/uid and group/gid) to support this.
When "-manage-gids" is set, the server looks up each uid
for the RPC and uses the list of groups cached in the server

The cached group list is acquired for the cache by the nfsuserd
daemon via getgrouplist(3).
This avoids the 16 groups limit for the list in the RPC request.
Since the cache is now used for every RPC when "-manage-gids"

(opens, locks, etc) is retained, which I believe is correct behaviour.
However, for NFSv4.1, the server also retained a reference to the xprt
(RPC transport socket structure) for the backchannel. This caused
svcpool_destroy() to not call SVC_DESTROY() for the xprt and allowed
a socket upcall to occur after the mutexes in the svcpool were destroyed,
causing a crash.
This patch fixes the code so that the backchannel xprt structure is
dereferenced just before svcpool_destroy() is called, so the code
does do an SVC_DESTROY() on the xprt, which shuts down the socket upcall.

- Introduce additional hash to group requests by hash of sockref. This
allows to process TCP acknowledgements without looping though all the cache,
and as result allows to do it every time.
- Indroduce additional callbacks to notify application layer about sockets
disconnection. Without this last few requests processed just before socket
disconnection never processed their ACKs and stuck in cache for many hours.
- Implement transport-specific method for tracking reply acknowledgements.
New implementation does not cross multiple stack layers to get the data and
does not have race conditions that previously made some requests stuck
in cache. This could be done more efficiently at sockbuf layer, but that
would broke some KBIs, while I don't know other consumers for it aside NFS.
- Instead of traversing all DRC twice per request, run cleaning only once
per request, and except in some conditions traverse only single hash slot
at a time.
Together this limits NFS DRC growth only to situations of real connectivity
problems. If network is working well, and so all replies are acknowledged,
cache remains almost empty even after hours of heavy load. Without this
change on the same test cache was growing to many thousand requests even
with perfectly working local network.
As another result this reduces CPU time spent on the DRC handling during
SPEC NFS benchmark from about 10% to 0.5%.

it will work with either the old or new server.
The FHA code keeps a cache of currently active file handles for
NFSv2 and v3 requests, so that read and write requests for the same
file are directed to the same group of threads (reads) or thread
(writes). It does not currently work for NFSv4 requests. They are
more complex, and will take more work to support.
This improves read-ahead performance, especially with ZFS, if the
FHA tuning parameters are configured appropriately. Without the
FHA code, concurrent reads that are part of a sequential read from
a file will be directed to separate NFS threads. This has the
effect of confusing the ZFS zfetch (prefetch) code and makes
sequential reads significantly slower with clients like Linux that
do a lot of prefetching.
The FHA code has also been updated to direct write requests to nearby
file offsets to the same thread in the same way it batches reads,
and the FHA code will now also send writes to multiple threads when
needed.
This improves sequential write performance in ZFS, because writes
to a file are now more ordered. Since NFS writes (generally
less than 64K) are smaller than the typical ZFS record size
(usually 128K), out of order NFS writes to the same block can
trigger a read in ZFS. Sending them down the same thread increases
the odds of their being in order.
In order for multiple write threads per file in the FHA code to be
useful, writes in the NFS server have been changed to use a LK_SHARED
vnode lock, and upgrade that to LK_EXCLUSIVE if the filesystem
doesn't allow multiple writers to a file at once. ZFS is currently
the only filesystem that allows multiple writers to a file, because
it has internal file range locking. This change does not affect the
NFSv4 code.
This improves random write performance to a single file in ZFS, since
we can now have multiple writers inside ZFS at one time.
I have changed the default tuning parameters to a 22 bit (4MB)
window size (from 256K) and unlimited commands per thread as a
result of my benchmarking with ZFS.
The FHA code has been updated to allow configuring the tuning
parameters from loader tunable variables in addition to sysctl
variables. The read offset window calculation has been slightly
modified as well. Instead of having separate bins, each file
handle has a rolling window of bin_shift size. This minimizes
glitches in throughput when shifting from one bin to another.

Remove all code that is specific to the NFS server
implementation. Anything that is server-specific is now
accessed through a callback supplied by that server's FHA
shim in the new softc.
There are now separate sysctls and tunables for the FHA
implementations for the old and new NFS servers. The new
NFS server has its tunables under vfs.nfsd.fha, the old
NFS server's tunables are under vfs.nfsrv.fha as before.
In fha_extract_info(), use callouts for all server-specific
code. Getting file handles and offsets is now done in the
individual server's shim module.
In fha_hash_entry_choose_thread(), change the way we decide
whether two reads are in proximity to each other.
Previously, the calculation was a simple shift operation to
see whether the offsets were in the same power of 2 bucket.
The issue was that there would be a bucket (and therefore
thread) transition, even if the reads were in close
proximity. When there is a thread transition, reads wind
up going somewhat out of order, and ZFS gets confused.
The new calculation simply tries to see whether the offsets
are within 1 << bin_shift of each other. If they are, the
reads will be sent to the same thread.
The effect of this change is that for sequential reads, if
the client doesn't exceed the max_reqs_per_nfsd parameter
and the bin_shift is set to a reasonable value (22, or
4MB works well in my tests), the reads in any sequential
stream will largely be confined to a single thread.
