Can this file also report the target slot count? Ie, is the server
matching the client's requested slot count, or is it over or under
by some number?

Would it be useful for a server tester or administrator to poke a
target slot count value into this file and watch the machinery
adjust?

Also, I wonder if information about the backchannel session can be

I could.  Would you like to suggest a syntax?
Usually the numbers would be the same except for short transition
periods, so I'm not convinced of the value.

Currently if the target is reduced while the client is idle there can be
a longer delay before the slots are actually freed, but I think 2
lease-renewal SEQUENCE ops would do it.  If/when we add use of the
CB_RECALL_SLOT callback the delay should disappear.

Maybe.  By echo 3 > drop_caches does a pretty good job.  I don't see
that we need more.

Probably make sense.  Maybe we should invent a syntax for reporting
arbitrary info about each session.

   session %d slots: %d
   session %d cb-slots: %d
   ...

???

That's precisely the kind of situation I would like to be able
catch -- the two are unequal longer than expected.

If each client has a directory, then it should have a subdirectory
called "sessions". Each subdirectory of "sessions" should be one
session, named by its hex session ID (as it is presented by
Wireshark). Each session directory could have a file for the forward
channel, one for the backchannel, and maybe one for generic
information like when the session was created and how many
connections it has.

We don't need all of that in this patch set, but whatever is
introduced here should be extensible to allow us to add more over
time.

I cannot say I'm excited about the proliferation of tiny files.  Your
suggestion isn't quite as bad as sysfs which claims to want one file per
value, but I think the sysfs approach provided more pain than gain and
you seem to be heading that way.  As evidence I present the rise of
netlink.  Netlink's main advantage is that it allows you to access a
collection of data in a single syscall (or maybe pair of syscalls).  If
we had a standard format for doing that with open/read/close, the
filesystem would be a much nicer interface.  But the sysfs rules prevent
that, so people who care avoid it.

We don't need to impose those same rules on nfsd-fs.

Having separate dirs for the clients makes some sense as the clients are
quite independent.  Sessions aren't - they are just part of the client. 
The *only* way session information is different from other client
information is that there is more structure - an array of sessions each
with detail.  I don't think that justifies a new directory.  I does
justify a carefully designed (or chosen) format for representing
structured data.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

I don't see this set of information as being in a
performance path. Needing multiple open/read/close
iterations doesn't seem like an impediment to me.

The only possible issue is that user space might
want a snapshot of certain related values, and
having to get the values from multiple files means
there's no guarantee that the values are consistent
with each other.

Hrm. IMHO a directory is exactly suited to this kind of
information hierarchy. I can't say that I understand your
view; perhaps you feel this way because the client
implementations we are familiar with use only a single
session. For that, of course, a directory is overkill.

That usually means JSON or XML, which also have their haters.

However, I don't feel strongly about this. You asked me
for some thoughts, and here they are, at random.

My bottom line is reasonable extensibility -- the ability to
provide more information in these files in the future without
perturbing current consumers. IME that's been nearly impossible
with designs that have one file full of fields that need to be
parsed.

Should we expose session information via the new NFSD netlink
protocol instead? Or a sessions/ directory with one formatted
file per session? I'm open to discussion.

[PATCH 0/6 v4] nfsd: allocate/free session-based DRC slots on demand

[NeilBrown]

Changes from v3 include:
 - use GFP_NOWAIT more consistently - don't use GFP_ATOMIC
 - document reduce_session_slots()
 - change sl_generation to u16.  As we reduce the number of slots one at
   a time and update se_slot_gen each time, we could cycle a u8 generation
   counter quickly.

[PATCH 1/6] nfsd: use an xarray to store v4.1 session slots

[NeilBrown]

Using an xarray to store session slots will make it easier to change the
number of active slots based on demand, and removes an unnecessary
limit.

To achieve good throughput with a high-latency server it can be helpful
to have hundreds of concurrent writes, which means hundreds of slots.
So increase the limit to 2048 (twice what the Linux client will
currently use).  This limit is only a sanity check, not a hard limit.

[PATCH 2/6] nfsd: remove artificial limits on the session-based DRC

[NeilBrown]

Rather than guessing how much space it might be safe to use for the DRC,
simply try allocating slots and be prepared to accept failure.

The first slot for each session is allocated with GFP_KERNEL which is
unlikely to fail.  Subsequent slots are allocated with the addition of
__GFP_NORETRY which is expected to fail if there isn't much free memory.

This is probably too aggressive but clears the way for adding a
shrinker interface to free extra slots when memory is tight.

[PATCH 4/6] nfsd: allocate new session-based DRC slots on demand.

[NeilBrown]

If a client ever uses the highest available slot for a given session,
attempt to allocate more slots so there is room for the client to use
them if wanted.  GFP_NOWAIT is used so if there is not plenty of
free memory, failure is expected - which is what we want.  It also
allows the allocation while holding a spinlock.

Each time we increase the number of slots by 20% (rounded up).  This
allows fairly quick growth while avoiding excessive over-shoot.

We would expect to stablise with around 10% more slots available than
the client actually uses.

[PATCH 5/6] nfsd: add support for freeing unused session-DRC slots

[NeilBrown]

Reducing the number of slots in the session slot table requires
confirmation from the client.  This patch adds reduce_session_slots()
which starts the process of getting confirmation, but never calls it.
That will come in a later patch.

Before we can free a slot we need to confirm that the client won't try
to use it again.  This involves returning a lower cr_maxrequests in a
SEQUENCE reply and then seeing a ca_maxrequests on the same slot which
is not larger than we limit we are trying to impose.  So for each slot
we need to remember that we have sent a reduced cr_maxrequests.

To achieve this we introduce a concept of request "generations".  Each
time we decide to reduce cr_maxrequests we increment the generation
number, and record this when we return the lower cr_maxrequests to the
client.  When a slot with the current generation reports a low
ca_maxrequests, we commit to that level and free extra slots.

We use an 16 bit generation number (64 seems wasteful) and if it cycles
we iterate all slots and reset the generation number to avoid false matches.

When we free a slot we store the seqid in the slot pointer so that it can
be restored when we reactivate the slot.  The RFC can be read as
suggesting that the slot number could restart from one after a slot is
retired and reactivated, but also suggests that retiring slots is not
required.  So when we reactive a slot we accept with the next seqid in
sequence, or 1.

When decoding sa_highest_slotid into maxslots we need to add 1 - this
matches how it is encoded for the reply.

se_dead is moved in struct nfsd4_session to remove a hole.

[PATCH 6/6] nfsd: add shrinker to reduce number of slots allocated per session

[NeilBrown]

Add a shrinker which frees unused slots and may ask the clients to use
fewer slots on each session.

We keep a global count of the number of freeable slots, which is the sum
of one less than the current "target" slots in all sessions in all
clients in all net-namespaces. This number is reported by the shrinker.

When the shrinker is asked to free some, we call xxx on each session in
a round-robin asking each to reduce the slot count by 1.  This will
reduce the "target" so the number reported by the shrinker will reduce
immediately.  The memory will only be freed later when the client
confirmed that it is no longer needed.

We use a global list of sessions and move the "head" to after the last
session that we asked to reduce, so the next callback from the shrinker
will move on to the next session.  This pressure should be applied
"evenly" across all sessions over time.
