BIG NACK!

How does even it make sense for a task to get past call_transmit and
call_status without having task->tk_client set? This sounds like serious
borkenness in the nfsv4.1 patches...

The "Callback slot table overflowed" message means we couldn't obtain a
pre-allocated rpc_rqst to process the callback.  When this occurs, the
client sets the XPRT_CLOSE_WAIT bit to close the connection.  (As an
aside, should we be using xprt_force_disconnect() instead?).

This leads me to believe the server exceeded the number of outstanding
requests allowed on the backchannel (slot count of one at the moment),
the new request caused us to close the connection and pulled the rug
from under the callback service.  I'll investigate further.

Is this reproducible?

Ricardo:

I don't mean to throw this whole discussion down a rat-hole, but the 
current back channel architecture isn't transport independent, so 
NFSRDMA on NFS41 is basically broken because all the back-channel logic 
is in the xprtsock.c (transport specific) file. It also assumes that the 
same socket (not transport, socket) is used for both fore and back 
channel communication.

What are the plans long-term for making this consistent with the 
existing architecture? Does it have to be the same socket/connection for 
some reason?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,

The thinking is that NFSRDMA could initially use a TCP callback channel.
We'll implement BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION so that the backchannel does not
need to be tied to the forechannel connection.  This should address the
case where you have NFSRDMA for the forechannel and TCP for the
backchannel.  BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION is also required to reestablish
dropped connections effectively (to avoid losing the reply cache).

We're first trying to get enough of the backchannel functionality
implemented to make it useful.  We can then build on that.  Tom Talpey
and I had a brief conversation about what would be needed to implement
the backchannel over NFSRDMA some time ago.  We didn't see anything
inherently wrong with the current approach.  Tom mentioned there needs
to be some RDMA work during the pre-allocation.  It will also need to
inspect the RPC direction to determine if it needs to queue the request
on the callback service, or proceed as usual with the processing of the
request.

Ricardo, 

rpc_run_bc_task sets no task_setup_data.rpc_client when calling rpc_new_task.
We might be able to use to fore channel rpc client, but
I'm still concerned that using this path for sending the callback
replies is wrong.

could be, but we might be doing the right thing on the client side
in this case already.

We simply got ENOTCONN back (see value of RBX)

The useful information in this message is the value of the otherwise
unhandled error and the fact that clnt==NULL.  Either shouldn't happen.
Anyway, since cl_chatty seems to be 0 by default I thought it's
appropriate to follow the default behavior also when clnt==NULL.

Your approach is fine for a prototype.  However...

Now we have to have this conversation again when adding any new  
transport capability, such as SCTP.

Plus, to support NFSv4.1 over RDMA, you now _require_ the existence of  
an IP network between client and server.  This may be as minor as  
ensuring IPoIB is configured on both ends, but it's still a  
significant extra step for a pure SAN over RDMA environment.  This  
obviates the whole point of combining the forward and back channels  
onto one transport.

In my opinion you are making the developer's life simpler now and  
complicating the lives of current users and admins, and future  
developers.

Please read what Ricardo said: this is a _first_ approximation, not a
final solution. Given what they're hoping to achieve, I'm fine with
doing a simple implementation of sessions first, then progressively
refining it.

Furthermore, there should be nothing conceptually  in his design that
prevents you from adapting it to other transports: it is basically just
preallocating a buffer, then using that as a receive buffer when you
find that you have a callback request.

Just think of it like ARP. The RDMA CM is a low-level discovery and
connection protocol, which isn't actually used by RPC or NFS at all.
It just magically comes into play when the RPC client calls into the
rdma_connect() subsystem. RDMA uses IP addresses, btw.

We could, though it would cause the reconnection to occur in the
backchannel code path.  Haven't thought it through, but it sounds
cleaner to rebind the session (or reset it if the server went away) in
the forechannel context.  I wonder if it would be acceptable to simply
drop the backchannel request, and have the forechannel reestablish the
connection (on a retransmission)?

The mainline RPC call_transmit() is already able to deal with RPC
transmissions that don't expect a reply.  This is pretty similar to
sending a reply, so we're leveraging the existing rpc_xprt.

One alternative could be to construct an svc_xprt for the backchannel
and use svc_send() for the reply.  I wonder if it's really a better
approach since we already have the rpc_xprt available.

We're correctly closing the connection, but doesn't seem like we're
acquiring the lock, as it is done in xprt_force_disconnect().
xprt_force_disconnect() wasn't around when I first added the autoclose
code in xs_tcp_read_callback().

Right, I was trying to explain what may have caused the connection
closed error.  I'm suggesting the unexpected request closed the
connection, and was dropped on the floor by xs_tcp_read_callback().
After the first request was processed, it encountered a closed
connection during the reply.  This is why the original request dies with
ENOTCONN.

I'll take a look at the svc_send() path using svc_xprt.  Though I think
your proposed patch to not force a rebind in the backchannel is
appropriate.  I guess I'm pleading to Trond to reconsider the Big NACK
:-)

I failed to mention that with the existing approach we're able to  
synchronize forechannel calls and backchannel replies on the rpc_xprt  
(XPRT_LOCKED bit).  It uses the synchronization mechanism already in  
mainline to prevent mixing the payload of requests and replies.

Right, but we need to do this at the xprt layer.  I don't think that
this mandates starting the reply process from the rpc layer
as we do today in bc_send.

Note that bc_svc_process gets both an rpc_rqst and a svc_rqst.
Although we forge a svc_rqst including setting up its rq_xprt
which is a svc_xprt, I'm not sure what exactly it is used for.
Eventually, we end up sending the reply (via bc_send) using
the rpc_rqst and its associated rpc_xprt.  This will allow
us to synchronize properly on the bi-directional channel.

Correct, we build the svc_rqst so that we can use it in the processing
of the backchannel request.  This way we reuse all of the existing v4
backchannel logic for decoding, authenticating, dispatching, and result
checking in svc_process_common().

If we really want to avoid the RPC state machine, I guess we could first
serialize on the rpc_rqst by calling test_and_set_bit(XPRT_LOCKED,
&xprt->state) to ensure no outgoing RPC grabs the transport.  We then
issue the reply using svc_send() with the svc_rqst.  This does avoid
having to copy the send buffer into the rpc_rqst, avoid building an
rpc_task, and avoid entering the RPC state machine, though it requires
an extra synchronization on the svc_xprt.xpt_mutex.  

Is this along the lines of what you're thinking?  I can give it a try...

Yes, absolutely.  One thing that came to me is that is would make
sense to encapsulate the xprt synchronization primitives in a few
helper functions implemnted at the xprt layer so that we won't
have to expose the internal implementation to the caller...
