For events that are rare, such as referral DNS lookups, it makes limited
sense to have a daemon constantly listening for upcalls on a channel. An
alternative in those cases might simply be to run the app that fills the
cache using call_usermodehelper_exec() and friends.
The following patch allows the cache_detail to specify alternative upcall
mechanisms for these particular cases.

While we do want to protect against multiple concurrent readers and writers
on each upcall/downcall pipe, we don't want to limit concurrent reading and
writing to separate caches.
This patch therefore replaces the static buffer 'write_buf', which can only
be used by one writer at a time, with use of the page cache as the
temporary buffer for downcalls. We still fall back to using the the old
global buffer if the downcall is larger than PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, since this is
apparently needed by the SPKM security context initialisation.
It then replaces the use of the global 'queue_io_mutex' with the
inode->i_mutex in cache_read() and cache_write().

In order to allow rpc_pipefs to create directories with different types of
subtrees, it is useful to allow the caller to customise the subtree filling
process.
In order to do so, we separate out the parts which are specific to making
an RPC client directory, and put them in a separate helper, then we convert
the process of filling the directory contents into a callback.

There is still a little wart or two there: Since we've already got a
vfsmount, we might as well pass that in to rpc_create_client_dir.
Another point is that if we open code __rpc_lookup_path() here, then we can
avoid looking up the entire parent directory path over and over again: it
doesn't change.
Also get rid of rpc_clnt->cl_pathname, since it has no users...

RPC universal address generation is currently done in several places:
rpcb_clnt.c, nfs4proc.c xprtsock.c, and xprtrdma.c. Remove the
redundant cases that convert a socket address to a universal
address. The nfs4proc.c case takes a pre-formatted presentation
address string, not a socket address, so we'll leave that one.
Because the new uaddr constructor uses the recently introduced
rpc_ntop(), it now supports proper "::" shorthanding for IPv6
addresses. This allows the kernel to register properly formed
universal addresses with the local rpcbind service, in _all_ cases.
The kernel can now also send properly formed universal addresses in
RPCB_GETADDR requests, and support link-local properly when
encoding and decoding IPv6 addresses.

Introduce a set of functions in the kernel's RPC implementation for
converting between a socket address and either a standard
presentation address string or an RPC universal address.
The universal address functions will be used to encode and decode
RPCB_FOO and NFSv4 SETCLIENTID arguments. The other functions are
part of a previous promise to deliver shared functions that can be
used by upper-layer protocols to display and manipulate IP
addresses.
The kernel's current address printf formatters were designed
specifically for kernel to user-space APIs that require a particular
string format for socket addresses, thus are somewhat limited for the
purposes of sunrpc.ko. The formatter for IPv6 addresses, %pI6, does
not support short-handing or scope IDs. Also, these printf formatters
are unique per address family, so a separate formatter string is
required for printing AF_INET and AF_INET6 addresses.

Commit a14017db added support in the kernel's NFS mount client to
decode the authentication flavor list returned by mountd.
The NFS client can now use this list to determine whether the
authentication flavor requested by the user is actually supported
by the server.
Note we don't actually negotiate the security flavor if none was
specified by the user. Instead, we try to use AUTH_SYS, and fail if
the server does not support it. This prevents us from negotiating
an inappropriate security flavor (some servers list AUTH_NULL first).
If the server does not support AUTH_SYS, the user must provide an
appropriate security flavor by specifying the "sec=" mount option.

Previous logic in the NFS mount parsing code path assumed
auth_flavor_len was set to zero for simple authentication flavors
(like AUTH_UNIX), and 1 for compound flavors (like AUTH_GSS).
At some earlier point (maybe even before the option parsers were
merged?) specific checks for auth_flavor_len being zero were removed
from the functions that validate the mount option that sets the mount
point's authentication flavor.
Since we are populating an array for authentication flavors, the
auth_flavor_len should always be set to the number of flavors. Let's
eliminate some cleverness here, and prepare for new logic that needs
to know the number of flavors in the auth_flavors[] array.
(auth_flavors[] is an array because at some point we want to allow a
list of acceptable authentication flavors to be specified via the sec=
mount option. For now it remains a single element array).

After certain failure modes of an NFS mount, an NFS client should send
a MOUNTPROC_UMNT request to remove the just-added mount entry from the
server's mount table. While no-one should rely on the accuracy of the
server's mount table, sending a UMNT is simply being a good internet
neighbor.
Since NFS mount processing is handled in the kernel now, we will need
a function in the kernel's mountd client that can post a MOUNTRPC_UMNT
request, in order to handle these failure modes.

If the NFSv4 server doesn't support a POSIX attribute, the generic NFS code
needs to know that, so that it don't keep trying to poll for it.
However, by the same count, if the NFSv4 server does support that
attribute, then we should ensure that the inode metadata is appropriately
labelled as being untrusted. For instance, if we don't know the correct
value of the file's uid, we should certainly not be caching ACLs or ACCESS
results.

Sometimes we get callchain branches that have a rate under the
limit given by the user.
Say you launched:
perf record -f -g -a ./hackbench 10
perf report -g fractal,10.0
And you got:
2.33% hackbench [kernel] [k] _spin_lock_irqsave
|
|--78.57%-- remove_wait_queue
| poll_freewait
| do_sys_poll
| sys_poll

|--7.14%-- __up_read
| up_read
| do_page_fault
| page_fault
| 0xf7ffa430
| 0xa0df710000000a
...
It is abnormal to get a 7.14% branch whereas we passed a 10%
filter.
The problem is that we round down the minimum threshold. This
happens mostly when we have very low number of events. If the
total amount of your branch is 4 and you have a subranch of 3
events, filtering to 90% will be computed like follows:
limit = 4 * 0.9;
The result is about 3.6, but the cast to integer will round
down to 3. It means that our filter is actually of 75%
We must then explicitly round up the minimum threshold.
