Error mounting FC8 NFS server with 2.6.31-rc3 NFSv4 client.

Error mounting FC8 NFS server with 2.6.31-rc3 NFSv4 client.

[Ben Greear]

I tried mounting an NFS server running FC8 (2.6.26.8-57.fc8 kernel)
using a Fedora 11 system running an un-patched 2.6.31-rc3 64-bit kernel.

I am not sure at all that the FC8 system is set up to handle NFSv4 properly, but
I was expecting some sort of useful error if that was the case.

Instead, I get this continually spewing to /var/log/messages:

Error: state manager failed on NFSv4 server 192.168.100.6 with error 2
Error: state manager failed on NFSv4 server 192.168.100.6 with error 2
Error: state manager failed on NFSv4 server 192.168.100.6 with error 2
Error: state manager failed on NFSv4 server 192.168.100.6 with error 2
...

On the file-server, I see this:
Jul 19 04:47:59 fs2 kernel: nfs4_cb: server 192.168.100.196 not responding, timed out
Jul 19 04:49:29 fs2 kernel: nfs4_cb: server 192.168.100.196 not responding, timed out
Jul 19 04:49:29 fs2 ntpd[2585]: kernel time sync status change 0001
Jul 19 04:50:59 fs2 kernel: nfs4_cb: server 192.168.100.196 not responding, timed out


I added some debug patches (on top of my other patches, including those to nfs)
and got some debug info:

It seems that nfs4_init_clientid is returning -2, and establish_clid is returning
-2.  This causes reclaim lease logic to fail, and that causes state manager to print
out the error repeatedly.  -2 means ENOENT.


As far as I can tell, the mount never completes, staying in D state and filling up
logs (I deleted a 16GB /var/log/messages file a few minutes ago!)

The mount command I'm trying is:
mount -t nfs4 192.168.100.6:/export/tmp /mnt/lf/nfs4-0


My kernel config is found here:

What does /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery look like on the server?

The server was misconfigured, but I still think the client should
behave better in this case.  If you cannot reproduce it, let me know
and I can try to be more specific.  If you still want the v4recovery
information, let me know and I'll send it.


I had my /etc/exports looking like this on the file-server:

/export/tmp 192.168.100.0/24(rw)


When I changed it to be:
/export/tmp 192.168.100.0/24(rw,fsid=0)


And mounted 192.168.100.6:/ instead of 192.168.100.6:/export/tmp
then it mounts properly and appears to work just fine.

If I leave file-server configured properly with fsid=0, but try
to mount 192.168.100.6:/export/tmp then I get an error about
no such file or directory, which also appears to be correct
behaviour.

Thanks,
Ben

So how should the client behave, when a screwed up server allows it to
mount but starts returning illegal values for setclientid? The only
thing I can see we could do is to tell the user EINSANESERVER...

Now, we _should_ fix the wretched NFS server so that it doesn't do NFSv4
mounts when there is no configured root partition. We _should_ also fix
the damned thing so that it doesn't return illegal values.

Well, it could just fail the mount and give up and not overly spam
/var/log/messages in a tight loop perhaps?

Sounds fine to me.

This doesn't happen at mount time. It happens when you open a file.

Not for me, and evidently not for the other person that reported
similar results.  All I had to do was attempt the mount (which never
completed).

Ah... You have NFS_V4_1 enabled despite the Kconfig warning... Does the
bug occur when you turn this off too?

OK. Then the NFSv4.1 merge has screwed up the state management. We do
NOT want to hold client id state on the server when there is no file
state...

Hmm. I doubt that as I can reproduce the same problem (at least the mount 
hanging, not necessarily the errors) with .30, which I presume is before 
the merge.

I have seen the errors too, but that may have been with 2.6.31 (though 
definitely without NFS_V4_1). I seem unable to reproduce those with .30.

On the server (.30) in /etc/exportfs:
/srv/exports         10.19.66.0/24(rw,subtree_check,sync,mp,nohide)
/srv/exports/data    10.19.66.0/24(rw,subtree_check,sync,mp,nohide)

# exportfs
/srv/exports         10.19.66.0/24
/srv/exports/data    10.19.66.0/24

On the client (.30.2):
# mount thorin:/data /mnt -t nfs4
<hangs>

FJP

OK. The following patch should fix that particular regression.

Note that there is a bug remaining inside nfs4_init_session(): we
shouldn't be copying the rsize/wsize into the nfs_client if the latter
was already initialised. I'm going to leave that for the moment, though,
since that bug wasn't introduced by my patch, and it doesn't affect
NFSv4.0.

NFSv4: Fix an NFSv4 mount regression

Commit 008f55d0e019943323c20a03493a2ba5672a4cc8 (nfs41: recover lease in
_nfs4_lookup_root) forces the state manager to always run on mount. This is
a bug in the case of NFSv4.0, which doesn't require us to send a
setclientid until we want to grab file state.

In any case, this is completely the wrong place to be doing state
management. Moving that code into nfs4_init_session...

With that patch applied, I now get the expected behaviour when mounting
a server with no NFSv4 root from a 2.6.31-rc3 based client:

root@heimdal:~# mount -t nfs4 munkholm.local:/ /mnt
mount.nfs4: mounting munkholm.local:/ failed, reason given by server:

I just successfully tested it on my systems as well, so I think this

The rsize/wsize is copied into the session prior to the create_session  
call (triggered by the state management code you moved), and is used  
for session negotiation. At this point the nfs_client cl_cons_state is  
set to NFS_CS_SESSION_INITING (see nfs4_alloc_session), so the  
nfs_client is not initialized.  The cl_cons_state is set to  
NFS_CS_READY after a successful create_session call.

The call to nfs4_init_session() is in nfs4_create_server(). It can be
called several times _after_ the nfs_client has been initialised when
you mount more than one partition from the same NFS server.

If that is the case, and if you use different rsize/wsize values on
those different mounts, then you will end up clobbering the values of
fc_attrs.max_rqst_sz, and fc_attrs.max_resp_sz, having set them to the
wsize/rsize that was set by the very last mount call.

AFAICS, what you _should_ be doing in nfs4_init_session, is something
like

	if (clp->cl_session->fc_attrs.max_rqst_sz < server->wsize)
		clp->cl_session->fc_attrs.max_rqst_sz = server->wsize;

You are right, this is a bug.

Currently, we only support one session per  nfs_client -  one session  
for all partition mounts to the same NFS server.
For NFSv4.1 the per partition struct nfs_server rsize/wsize is used to  
construct rpc requests that are sent over the session so the rsize/ 
wsize must not be larger than the session max_resp_sz/max_rqst_sz.

nfs4_init_session should simply return if the nfs_client cl_cons_state  
is not NFS_CS_SESSION_INITING.
I shouldn't be trying to set the session max_resp_sz/max_rqst_sz to  
the rsize/wsize, but rather to the maximum rsize/wsize supported by  
the client.
If the server accepts or increases the max_resp_sz/max_rqst_sz then  
all is well.
If the server reduces the max_resp_sz/max_rqst_sz, the maximum rsize/ 
wsize available for NFSv4.1 partition mounts to the server needs to be  
reduced accordingly. So the nfs_server rsize/wsize needs to be bound  
by the session max_resp_sz/max_rqst_sz as well as by the maximum  
supported size.

If you think this is correct, I'll send a patch.

Well.... The rsize/wsize is one thing, but how about acls? We simply
don't know how big they may become.

An alternative would be to let the server choose the
max_rqst_sz/max_resp_sz by always requesting the maximum allowed value.

Yeah - has anything been submitted for 4.2 to fix this? (a readdir

Not really. You pretty much have to set ACLs atomically, or you may end
up with security issues.

The good news is, though, that we should be able to figure out an upper
limit by looking at the max_rqst_sz/max_resp_sz that the server wants to
set.

Sure, but we could help get ACL.

Eh, no. In my case both client and server are 2.6.30 which did not yet

Per my previous message, I think there may be two related issues:
- mount hanging when no NFS4 root is defined, reproducible on .30
- state errors occurring in that situation, which may have been
  introduced with .31

I've just checked and when I saw the state errors I was running .31-rc3 on
the client, and partially also on the server. I saw error 2, 5 and 10022.
See log below.

I first switched back to .30 on the server to see if that fixed the mount
problem (it didn't) and later also switched back to .30 on the client.

(Sorry for the kernel version confusion, but I've been working on
different issues requiring frequent reboots; but I hope the info helps.)

Cheers,
FJP

Unrelated, but I just noticed the following on the server (with 2.6.30);
not sure what exactly triggered that, maybe a stop/start of the NFS services:

Duh! I had exactly the same problem this week when I "quickly" set up an 
NFS server on one of my boxes: forgot to add fsid=0 for the NFS4 root. 
Result was the mount hanging on the client and the same errors as Ben 
reported.

It would be great if this configuration problem was detected better.

P.S. /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery on the server was empty in my case.
