If we are to avoid a complete lookup for every IO we need some back-pointer from the nfsd filecache to something in nfs so that a cached lookup can be invalidated. Various other schemes have been suggested before. This one seems particularly simple. I'm wondering about the request for a garbage-collected nfsd_file though. For NFSv3 that makes sense. For NFSv4 we would expect the file to already be open as a non-garbage-collected nfsd_file and opening it again seems wasteful. That doesn't need to be fixed for this patch and maybe doesn't need to be fixed at all, but it seemed worth highlighting.

I guess you were following the pattern in nfsd_file_do_acquire() which waits for FILE_PENDING and then re-tests FILE_HASHED (nfsd_file_lookup_locked() already tested it).

NFSv4 guarantees an OPEN to pin the nfsd_file, and a CLOSE (or lease expiry) to release it. There's no desire for or need for garbage collection. NFSv3 and LOCALIO use each nfsd_file for the life of one I/O operation, and that nfsd_file is cached in the expectation that another I/O operation on the same file will happen with frequent temporarl proximity. Garbage collection is needed for both cases. -- Chuck Lever

In the case of NFSv3, the server has no idea whether or not there is further need for the file (stateless), whereas in the localio case, the client is able to tell exactly when the application holds the file open or not (stateful). The only reason for jumping through all these hoops in the case of localio is the 'user may want to unmount' exception. Is there any reason why we couldn't add a notification for that, to give knfsd the opportunity to clear out any open file state? The current approach appears to be flat out optimising for the exception.

The > current approach appears to be flat out optimising for the exception. We've discussed this privately. A notification callback is possible, but that's code that would have to be written, and using GC nfsd_files was an expedient for getting LOCALIO merged. There are some corner cases that will need to be worked through to help determine whether a callback is truly a simpler design. -- Chuck Lever

At a high level: Add a callback to the client that runs just before calling nfsd_file_cache_purge() in expkey_flush(). The client would be expected to return all of its nfsd_files "soon" and switch back to normal network I/O. After that point, it can try to get a new nfsd_file and start up localio at that point. With that change too you can switch to using non-GC'ed nfsd_files. The client can just hold them open and do I/O to them at will. I think that's probably less brittle than trying to keep opaque inode pointers around, and would probably mean better performance since you won't be thrashing the filecache as much.

Maybe you're referring to the nfsd_file_acquire_gc_cached() kernel doc text? The code doesn't impose the nfsd_file must be a GC'd nfsd_file (nor do I ever create an nfsd_file, if it isn't in the filecache then it returns NULL). GC'd just buys us a more likely chance of finding the nfsd_file in the cache so it pairs nicely with GC having been requested/used when the nfsd_file originally created and added to the cache. Anyway, what follows in my reply is all moot given this thread has teased out the desire to utilize a callback mechanism to allow the NFS client to hold a longterm reference on the open nfsd_file. BUT I will be folding in all the things covered below so I can at least put nfsd_file_acquire_cached() out to pasture in more fully formed state (should there ever be a need to revisit it)... > More below > > > --- > > fs/nfs/inode.c | 3 ++ > > fs/nfs_common/nfslocalio.c | 2 +- > > fs/nfsd/filecache.c | 78 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > > fs/nfsd/filecache.h | 7 ++++ > > fs/nfsd/localio.c | 46 +++++++++++++++++++--- > > include/linux/nfs.h | 4 ++ > > include/linux/nfslocalio.h | 6 +-- > > 7 files changed, 136 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) > > > > diff --git a/fs/nfs/inode.c b/fs/nfs/inode.c > > index cc7a32b32676..3051d65e3a89 100644 > > --- a/fs/nfs/inode.c > > +++ b/fs/nfs/inode.c > > @@ -2413,6 +2413,9 @@ struct inode *nfs_alloc_inode(struct super_block *sb) > > #endif /* CONFIG_NFS_V4 */ > > #ifdef CONFIG_NFS_V4_2 > > nfsi->xattr_cache = NULL; > > +#endif > > +#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NFS_LOCALIO) > > + nfsi->fh.inode_key = NULL; > > #endif > > nfs_netfs_inode_init(nfsi); > > > > diff --git a/fs/nfs_common/nfslocalio.c b/fs/nfs_common/nfslocalio.c > > index 09404d142d1a..bacebaa1e15c 100644 > > --- a/fs/nfs_common/nfslocalio.c > > +++ b/fs/nfs_common/nfslocalio.c > > @@ -130,7 +130,7 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(nfs_uuid_invalidate_one_client); > > > > struct nfsd_file *nfs_open_local_fh(nfs_uuid_t *uuid, > > struct rpc_clnt *rpc_clnt, const struct cred *cred, > > - const struct nfs_fh *nfs_fh, const fmode_t fmode) > > + struct nfs_fh *nfs_fh, const fmode_t fmode) > > { > > struct net *net; > > struct nfsd_file *localio; > > diff --git a/fs/nfsd/filecache.c b/fs/nfsd/filecache.c > > index 1408166222c5..5ab978ac3555 100644 > > --- a/fs/nfsd/filecache.c > > +++ b/fs/nfsd/filecache.c > > @@ -221,6 +221,9 @@ nfsd_file_alloc(struct net *net, struct inode *inode, unsigned char need, > > INIT_LIST_HEAD(&nf->nf_gc); > > nf->nf_birthtime = ktime_get(); > > nf->nf_file = NULL; > > +#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NFS_LOCALIO) > > + nf->nf_inodep = NULL; > > +#endif > > All these "#if IS_ENABLED" are ugly.

Right, was just trying to maintain status-quo. I think it doesn't hurt, and may actually help given spin_lock isn't held around nfsd_file_lookup_locked?

Rather than make nfsd_file_do_acquire() more complex (by training it to conditionally skip both fh_verify() and nfsd_file allocation and contruction) introduce nfsd_file_acquire_gc_cached() -- which duplicates the minimalist subset of nfsd_file_do_acquire() needed to achieve nfsd_file lookup using an opaque @inode_key. nfsd_file_acquire_gc_cached() only returns a cached and GC'd nfsd_file obtained using the opaque @inode_key, established from a previous call to nfsd_file_do_acquire_local() that originally added the GC'd nfsd_file to the filecache. Update nfsd_open_local_fh to store @inode_key in @nfs_fh so later calls can check if it maps to an open GC'd nfsd_file in the filecache using nfsd_file_acquire_gc_cached(). Its nfsd_file_lookup_locked() call will only find a match if @cred matches the nfsd_file's nf_cred. And care is taken to clear the inode_key in nfsd_file_free() if the nfsd_file has a non-NULL nf_inodep (which is a pointer to the address of the opaque inode_key stored in the nfs_fh). This avoids any risk of re-using the old inode_key for a different nfsd_file. This commit's cached nfsd_file lookup dramatically speeds up LOCALIO performance, especially for small 4K O_DIRECT IO, e.g.: before: read: IOPS=376k, BW=1469MiB/s (1541MB/s)(28.7GiB/20001msec) after: read: IOPS=1037k, BW=4050MiB/s (4247MB/s)(79.1GiB/20002msec) Note that LOCALIO calls nfsd_open_local_fh() for every IO it issues to the underlying filesystem using the returned nfsd_file. This is why caching the opaque 'inode_key' in 'struct nfs_fh' is so helpful for LOCALIO to quickly return the cached nfsd_file. Whereas regular NFS avoids fh_verify()'s costly duplicate lookups of the underlying filesystem's dentry by caching it in 'fh_dentry' of 'struct svc_fh'. LOCALIO cannot take the same approach, of storing the dentry, without creating object lifetime issues associated with dentry references holding server mounts open and preventing unmounts.
