For NFSv4.2, a Copy operation can take a long time to complete.
If there is a concurrent ExchangeID or DelegReturn operation
which requires the exclusive lock on all NFSv4 state, this can
result in a stall of the nfsd server.
This patch documents ways to avoid this problem.

Add note about configuring the NFSv4-only option.
It is already mentioned in rc.conf(5), but documenting it here makes it
more likely that people see it when they need it.

We've ifdef'd out the copyright strings for some time now. Go ahead and
remove the ifdefs. Plus whatever other detritis was left over from other
recent removals. These copyright strings are present in the comments and
are largely from CSRG's attempt at adding their copyright to every
binary file (which modern interpretations of the license doesn't
require).

For the cases where the nfsd(8) daemon is already running or
has failed to start within a prison due to an incorrect prison
configuration, the failure message logged is:
Can't read stable storage file: operation not permitted
This patch replaces the above with more meaningful messages.
It depends on commit 10dff9da97 to differentiate between the
above two cases, however even without this commit, the messages
should be an improvement.

An NFSv4 only configuration does not register with
rpcbind(). Without this patch a failure to rpcb_unset()
is reported when the daemon is terminated for this case.
This is harmless noise, but this patch avoids calling
rpcb_unset() for the NFSv4 only case, avoiding the noise.
When called with "-d", it still does the rpcb_unset(),
assuming that the configuration might have been
changed to NFSv4 only and unregistering with
rpcbind() might still be needed.

Update all the references to NFSv4.1, so that they apply to NFSv4.1 and
NFSv4.2. Also, change the MDS->DS mounts to use NFSv4.2, so that both
versions of the protocol can be used against the server with pNFS enabled.

Include references to NFSv4.2 and Flexible File layout, plus clarify

Specifically, I put the new option line in the wrong place, and then fixed
up the rest without realizing it. This puts the usage statement back to
what it was, with an additional line for the new -V option.

Specifically, this allows (via "-V vhostname") telling nfsd what principal

r336795 adds support for handling of IPv6 addresses returned by getaddrinfo(3)
for DS hostnames. This updates the man page for this change.
This is a content change.
This patch adds code to handle IPv6 addresses returned by getaddrinfo()
for the host entries in the "-p" command line argument.
If the IPv6 address is a link local address, only use it if it is the
only address for the host. This is done since there is no way to know
if the NFSv4.1 pNFS client is in the same scope zone as the MDS.
inet_ntop() is used for the IPv6 address translation, since the client
will have no use for the scope zone suffix and inet_ntop() does not
put this in the address string.
Discussed with: bu7cher@yandex.ru
r335871 added support for an optional suffix of "#mds_path" that can be
applied to each entry in the "-p" option argument. This specifies that
the DS should be used to store files for the file system on the MDS
at "mds_path".
This patch documents this optional suffix.
This is a content change.
Without this patch, the pNFS server distributes the data storage files across
all of the specified DSs.
A tester noted that it would be nice if a system administrator could control
which DSs are used to store the file data for a given exported MDS file system.
This patch adds an optional suffix for each entry in the "-p" option argument
that specifies "store file data for this MDS file system" in this DS.
The patch should only affect sites using the pNFS server (specified via the
"-p" command line option for nfsd.
The interface between the nfsd and the kernel has changed with this patch,
so anyone using the "-p" option needs to rebuild their nfsd from sources
with this patch applied to them.
Discussed with: james.rose@framestore.com
The kernel code assumes that nfsdargs.addr == NULL and nfsdargs.addrlen == 0
when there is no "-p" argument used for starting the nfsd.
This small patch ensures this is the case. In practice, I believe this always
happened, since "nfsdargs" was the last element on the stack for "main()",
but this little patch ensures it will be the case.
Spotted by inspection while adding a new optional field for "-p".
The "-p" option specifies that the nfsd should run a pNFS service instead
of a regular NFS service. The "-m" option is only meaningful when used with
"-p" to specify that mirroring on the DSs should be done and on how many of
them.
This change requires the kernel changes committed as r334930.
The man page update will be committed as a separate commit soon.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
