Subject: [PATCH v3] NFSD: convert write_threads, write_maxblksize and write_maxconn to netlink commands

Introduce write_threads, write_maxblksize and write_maxconn netlink
commands similar to the ones available through the procfs.

Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Bianconi <[email protected]>
---
Changes since v2:
- use u32 to store nthreads in nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit
- rename server-attr in control-plane in nfsd.yaml specs
Changes since v1:
- remove write_v4_end_grace command
- add write_maxblksize and write_maxconn netlink commands

This patch can be tested with user-space tool reported below:

Subject: Re: [PATCH v3] NFSD: convert write_threads, write_maxblksize and write_maxconn to netlink commands


Hi,
thanks for doing this. I had a hunt through the patch largely to help
improve my own understanding of netlink. A few things stood out. Not
necessarily problems with the patch, but things that seemed worth
mentioning.

Firstly, and rather trivially, the word "convert" in the subject lead
me to think that the old approach was being converted to a new
approach. I see that isn't correct - you are just introducing a new
option.

This array, and the following arrays, is sized exactly large enough to
hold the last element. In that case you don't need to explicitly set
the size:

+static const struct nla_policy nfsd_threads_set_nl_policy[] = {
+ [NFSD_A_CONTROL_PLANE_THREADS] = { .type = NLA_U32, },
+};

I at first assumed you were following a standard practice, but other
places that declare nla_policy use a variety of different approaches.
I prefer the [] approach, but it is up to you.

maxattr is *always* the largest index for the policy array.
I think it would aid reading to have something like

#define NLA_POLICY(_pol) .policy = _pol, .maxattr = ARRAY_SIZE(_pol) - 1

then you could have
.doit = nfsd_nl_thread_set_doit,
NLA_POLICY(nfsd_thread_set_nl_policy),

and be certain that all the maxattr values are correct.

it is a little weird that the dumpit sections are indented differently
to the doit section. But that is probably intentional and I might even
grow to like it...

This code is wrong... but then the original in write_maxblksize is wrong
to, so you can't be blamed.
nfsd_max_blksize applies to nfsd in ALL network namespaces. So if we
need to check there are no active services in one namespace, we need to
check the same for *all* namespaces.

I think we should make nfsd_max_blksize a per-namespace value.

This last value is never used. Is it needed?

FYI, here and below, this code was generated by a Python
script from the nfsd netlink protocol specification in
Documentation/netlink/specs/nfsd.yaml.

We don't have control over its style or unused elements.

Yes, the original code does look strange and is probably incorrect
with regard to its handling of the mutex. Shall we explore and fix
that issue in the nfsctl code first so that it can be backported to
stable kernels?

That is a different conversation.

First, the current name of this tunable is incongruent with its
actual function, which is to specify the maximum network buffer size
that is allocated when the NFSD service pool is created. We should
find a more descriptive and specific name for this element in the
netlink protocol.

Second, it does seem like a candidate for becoming namespace-
specific, but TBH I'm not familiar enough with its current user
space consumers to know if that change would be welcome or fraught.

Since more discussion, research, and possibly a fix are needed, we
might drop max_blksize from this round and look for one or two
other tunables to convert for the first round.

ack. Are write_unlock_ip() and/or write_unlock_fs() good candidates?

I think we need to step back a bit further even, and consider what we
want this to look like for users. How do we expect users to interact
with these new interfaces in the future?

Most of these settings are things that are "set and forget" and things
that we'd want to set up before we ever start any nfsd threads. I think
as an initial goal here, we ought to aim to replace the guts of
rpc.nfsd(8). Make it (preferentially) use the netlink interfaces for
setting everything instead of writing to files under /proc/fs/nfsd.

That gives us a clear set of interfaces that need to be replaced as a
first step, and gives us a start on integrating this change into nfs-
utils.

Yeah, those are the most common ones.

Eventually, I think we'd want to add some of the other, more obscure
settings to rpc.nfsd as well (max_block_size, max_connections, etc). We
might want to think about how to subsume the pool_threads handling into
that too. Those can be done in a later phase though, once the core
functionality has been converted.


If we're going to go all-in on netlink, then a long-term goal ought to
be to deprecate /proc/fs/nfsd altogether. Unfortunately, we won't be
able to do that for a _long_ time (years), but I think this is a
reasonable start.

Starting with rpc.nfsd as the initial consumer is a fine idea.
Those are in nfs-utils/utils/nfsd/nfssvc.c.

Looks like threads, ports, and versions are the target APIs?

Consider using GENL_REQ_ATTR_CHECK(), it will auto-add nice error
message to the reply on error.

YNL will dutifully return a list for every dump. If you're only getting
a single reply 'do' will be much better.
