Background

Recent escalations uncovered a bug in the NFS server file cache where lots of NFSv4 file opens causes the NFSD threads to consume a majority of CPU resources. This excessive kernel CPU consumption can cause the system to be non-responsive.

Problem

Per the upstream commit:

The checks in nfsd_file_acquire() and nfsd_file_put() that directly
invoke filecache garbage collection are intended to keep cache
occupancy between a low- and high-watermark. The reason to limit the
capacity of the filecache is to keep filecache lookups reasonably
fast.

However, invoking garbage collection at those points has some
undesirable negative impacts. Files that are held open by NFSv4
clients often push the occupancy of the filecache over these
watermarks. At that point:

- Every call to nfsd_file_acquire() and nfsd_file_put() results in
  an LRU walk. This has the same effect on lookup latency as long
  chains in the hash table.
- Garbage collection will then run on every nfsd thread, causing a
  lot of unnecessary lock contention.
- Limiting cache capacity pushes out files used only by NFSv3
  clients, which are the type of files the filecache is supposed to
  help.

To address those negative impacts, remove the direct calls to the
garbage collector.

Solution

Pull in the upstream commit that stops calling nfsd_file_gc() inline for nfsd threads.

Testing Done

ab-pre-push: http://selfservice.jenkins.delphix.com/job/appliance-build-orchestrator-pre-push/4832/

Tested before/after with 17,000 opened files on a NFSv4 mount and ran a workload that cause lots of churn. For the before case, a 30 second kernel profile has NFSD using 36% CPU, whereas for the fixed kernel it is only using 6% CPU

Before:
bad

With the fix:
fixed

Future Work

There are additional upstream fixes in this problem space that would require refactoring to bring in since they are based off of a 6.1 kernel and we currently are running 5.4 kernels.

The checks in nfsd_file_acquire() and nfsd_file_put() that directly
invoke filecache garbage collection are intended to keep cache
occupancy between a low- and high-watermark. The reason to limit the
capacity of the filecache is to keep filecache lookups reasonably
fast.

However, invoking garbage collection at those points has some
undesirable negative impacts. Files that are held open by NFSv4
clients often push the occupancy of the filecache over these
watermarks. At that point:

- Every call to nfsd_file_acquire() and nfsd_file_put() results in
  an LRU walk. This has the same effect on lookup latency as long
  chains in the hash table.
- Garbage collection will then run on every nfsd thread, causing a
  lot of unnecessary lock contention.

  clients, which are the type of files the filecache is supposed to

The lock is used to synchronize different sysfs operations, it doesn't
protect any resource that will be touched by an interrupt. Consequently
it's not required to disable IRQs. Replace the spinlock with a mutex to fix
the deadlock.

  help.

The checks in nfsd_file_acquire() and nfsd_file_put() that directly
invoke filecache garbage collection are intended to keep cache
occupancy between a low- and high-watermark. The reason to limit the
capacity of the filecache is to keep filecache lookups reasonably
fast.

However, invoking garbage collection at those points has some
undesirable negative impacts. Files that are held open by NFSv4
clients often push the occupancy of the filecache over these
watermarks. At that point:

- Every call to nfsd_file_acquire() and nfsd_file_put() results in
  an LRU walk. This has the same effect on lookup latency as long
  chains in the hash table.
- Garbage collection will then run on every nfsd thread, causing a
  lot of unnecessary lock contention.
- Limiting cache capacity pushes out files used only by NFSv3
  clients, which are the type of files the filecache is supposed to
  help.

[ Upstream commit 431315a ]

When the rcutorture tests start to exit, the rcu_torture_cleanup() is
invoked to stop kthreads and release resources, if the stall-task
kthreads exist, cpu-stall has started and the rcutorture.stall_cpu
is set to a larger value, the rcu_torture_cleanup() will be blocked
for a long time and the hung-task may occur, this commit therefore
add kthread_should_stop() to the loop of cpu-stall operation, when
rcutorture tests ends, no need to wait for cpu-stall to end, exit
directly.

Use the following command to test:

insmod rcutorture.ko torture_type=srcu fwd_progress=0 stat_interval=4
stall_cpu_block=1 stall_cpu=200 stall_cpu_holdoff=10 read_exit_burst=0

commit 5954821 upstream.

Due to incorrect dev->product reporting by certain devices, null
pointer dereferences occur when dev->product is empty, leading to
potential system crashes.

This issue was found on EXCELSIOR DL37-D05 device with
Loongson-LS3A6000-7A2000-DL37 motherboard.
