[ Upstream commit 3db63daabe210af32a09533fe7d8d47c711a103c ]
NFSv3 includes pre/post wcc attributes which allow the client to determine if all changes to the file have been made by the client itself, or if any might have been made by some other client.
If there are gaps in the pre/post ctime sequence it must be assumed that some other client changed the file in that gap and the local cache must be suspect. The next time the file is opened the cache should be invalidated.
Since Commit 1c341b777501 ("NFS: Add deferred cache invalidation for close-to-open consistency violations") in linux 5.3 the Linux client has been triggering this invalidation. The chunk in nfs_update_inode() in particularly triggers.
Unfortunately Linux NFS assumes that all replies will be processed in the order sent, and will arrive in the order processed. This is not true in general. Consequently Linux NFS might ignore the wcc info in a WRITE reply because the reply is in response to a WRITE that was sent before some other request for which a reply has already been seen. This is detected by Linux using the gencount tests in nfs_inode_attr_cmp().
Also, when the gencount tests pass it is still possible that the request were processed on the server in a different order, and a gap seen in the ctime sequence might be filled in by a subsequent reply, so gaps should not immediately trigger delayed invalidation.
The net result is that writing to a server and then reading the file back can result in going to the server for the read rather than serving it from cache - all because a couple of replies arrived out-of-order. This is a performance regression over kernels before 5.3, though the change in 5.3 is a correctness improvement.
This has been seen with Linux writing to a Netapp server which occasionally re-orders requests. In testing the majority of requests were in-order, but a few (maybe 2 or three at a time) could be re-ordered.
This patch addresses the problem by recording any gaps seen in the pre/post ctime sequence and not triggering invalidation until either there are too many gaps to fit in the table, or until there are no more active writes and the remaining gaps cannot be resolved.
We allocate a table of 16 gaps on demand. If the allocation fails we revert to current behaviour which is of little cost as we are unlikely to be able to cache the writes anyway.
In the table we store "start->end" pair when iversion is updated and "end<-start" pairs pre/post pairs reported by the server. Usually these exactly cancel out and so nothing is stored. When there are out-of-order replies we do store gaps and these will eventually be cancelled against later replies when this client is the only writer.
If the final write is out-of-order there may be one gap remaining when the file is closed. This will be noticed and if there is precisely on gap and if the iversion can be advanced to match it, then we do so.
This patch makes no attempt to handle directories correctly. The same problem potentially exists in the out-of-order replies to create/unlink requests can cause future lookup requires to be sent to the server unnecessarily. A similar scheme using the same primitives could be used to notice and handle out-of-order replies.
