While randstruct was satisfied with using an open-coded "void *" offset
cast for the netfs_i_context <-> inode casting, __builtin_object_size() as
used by FORTIFY_SOURCE was not as easily fooled. This was causing the
following complaint[1] from gcc v12:
In file included from include/linux/string.h:253,
from include/linux/ceph/ceph_debug.h:7,
from fs/ceph/inode.c:2:
In function 'fortify_memset_chk',
inlined from 'netfs_i_context_init' at include/linux/netfs.h:326:2,
inlined from 'ceph_alloc_inode' at fs/ceph/inode.c:463:2:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:242:25: warning: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning]
242 | __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fix this by embedding a struct inode into struct netfs_i_context (which
should perhaps be renamed to struct netfs_inode). The struct inode
vfs_inode fields are then removed from the 9p, afs, ceph and cifs inode
structs and vfs_inode is then simply changed to "netfs.inode" in those
filesystems.
Further, rename netfs_i_context to netfs_inode, get rid of the
netfs_inode() function that converted a netfs_i_context pointer to an
inode pointer (that can now be done with &ctx->inode) and rename the
netfs_i_context() function to netfs_inode() (which is now a wrapper
around container_of()).
Most of the changes were done with:
perl -p -i -e 's/vfs_inode/netfs.inode/'g \
`git grep -l 'vfs_inode' -- fs/{9p,afs,ceph,cifs}/*.[ch]`
Kees suggested doing it with a pair structure[2] and a special
declarator to insert that into the network filesystem's inode
wrapper[3], but I think it's cleaner to embed it - and then it doesn't
matter if struct randomisation reorders things.
Dave Chinner suggested using a filesystem-specific VFS_I() function in
each filesystem to convert that filesystem's own inode wrapper struct
into the VFS inode struct[4].
Version #2:
- Fix a couple of missed name changes due to a disabled cifs option.
- Rename nfs_i_context to nfs_inode
- Use "netfs" instead of "nic" as the member name in per-fs inode wrapper
structs.
[ This also undoes commit 507160f46c55 ("netfs: gcc-12: temporarily
disable '-Wattribute-warning' for now") that is no longer needed ]

Pull netfs updates from David Howells:
"Netfs prep for write helpers.
Having had a go at implementing write helpers and content encryption
support in netfslib, it seems that the netfs_read_{,sub}request
structs and the equivalent write request structs were almost the same
and so should be merged, thereby requiring only one set of
alloc/get/put functions and a common set of tracepoints.
Merging the structs also has the advantage that if a bounce buffer is
added to the request struct, a read operation can be performed to fill
the bounce buffer, the contents of the buffer can be modified and then
a write operation can be performed on it to send the data wherever it
needs to go using the same request structure all the way through. The
I/O handlers would then transparently perform any required crypto.
This should make it easier to perform RMW cycles if needed.
The potentially common functions and structs, however, by their names
all proclaim themselves to be associated with the read side of things.
The bulk of these changes alter this in the following ways:
- Rename struct netfs_read_{,sub}request to netfs_io_{,sub}request.
- Rename some enums, members and flags to make them more appropriate.
- Adjust some comments to match.
- Drop "read"/"rreq" from the names of common functions. For
instance, netfs_get_read_request() becomes netfs_get_request().
- The ->init_rreq() and ->issue_op() methods become ->init_request()
and ->issue_read(). I've kept the latter as a read-specific
function and in another branch added an ->issue_write() method.
The driver source is then reorganised into a number of files:
fs/netfs/buffered_read.c Create read reqs to the pagecache
fs/netfs/io.c Dispatchers for read and write reqs
fs/netfs/main.c Some general miscellaneous bits
fs/netfs/objects.c Alloc, get and put functions
fs/netfs/stats.c Optional procfs statistics.
and future development can be fitted into this scheme, e.g.:
fs/netfs/buffered_write.c Modify the pagecache
fs/netfs/buffered_flush.c Writeback from the pagecache
fs/netfs/direct_read.c DIO read support
fs/netfs/direct_write.c DIO write support
fs/netfs/unbuffered_write.c Write modifications directly back
Beyond the above changes, there are also some changes that affect how
things work:
- Make fscache_end_operation() generally available.
- In the netfs tracing header, generate enums from the symbol ->
string mapping tables rather than manually coding them.
- Add a struct for filesystems that uses netfslib to put into their
inode wrapper structs to hold extra state that netfslib is
interested in, such as the fscache cookie. This allows netfslib
functions to be set in filesystem operation tables and jumped to
directly without having to have a filesystem wrapper.
- Add a member to the struct added above to track the remote inode
length as that may differ if local modifications are buffered. We
may need to supply an appropriate EOF pointer when storing data (in
AFS for example).
- Pass extra information to netfs_alloc_request() so that the
->init_request() hook can access it and retain information to
indicate the origin of the operation.
- Make the ->init_request() hook return an error, thereby allowing a
filesystem that isn't allowed to cache an inode (ceph or cifs, for
example) to skip readahead.
- Switch to using refcount_t for subrequests and add tracepoints to
log refcount changes for the request and subrequest structs.
- Add a function to consolidate dispatching a read request. Similar
code is used in three places and another couple are likely to be
added in the future"

Add a netfs_i_context struct that should be included in the network
filesystem's own inode struct wrapper, directly after the VFS's inode
struct, e.g.:
struct my_inode {
struct {
/* These must be contiguous */
struct inode vfs_inode;
struct netfs_i_context netfs_ctx;
};
};
The netfs_i_context struct so far contains a single field for the network
filesystem to use - the cache cookie:
struct netfs_i_context {
...
struct fscache_cookie *cache;
};
Three functions are provided to help with this:
(1) void netfs_i_context_init(struct inode *inode,
const struct netfs_request_ops *ops);
Initialise the netfs context and set the operations.
(2) struct netfs_i_context *netfs_i_context(struct inode *inode);
Find the netfs context from the VFS inode.
(3) struct inode *netfs_inode(struct netfs_i_context *ctx);
Find the VFS inode from the netfs context.
Changes
=======
ver #4)
- Fix netfs_is_cache_enabled() to check cookie->cache_priv to see if a
cache is present[3].
- Fix netfs_skip_folio_read() to zero out all of the page, not just some
of it[3].
ver #3)
- Split out the bit to move ceph cap-getting on readahead into
ceph_init_request()[1].
- Stick in a comment to the netfs inode structs indicating the contiguity
requirements[2].
ver #2)
- Adjust documentation to match.
- Use "#if IS_ENABLED()" in netfs_i_cookie(), not "#ifdef".
- Move the cap check from ceph_readahead() to ceph_init_request() to be
called from netfslib.
- Remove ceph_readahead() and use netfs_readahead() directly instead.

Pull fscache rewrite from David Howells:
"This is a set of patches that rewrites the fscache driver and the
cachefiles driver, significantly simplifying the code compared to
what's upstream, removing the complex operation scheduling and object
state machine in favour of something much smaller and simpler.
The series is structured such that the first few patches disable
fscache use by the network filesystems using it, remove the cachefiles
driver entirely and as much of the fscache driver as can be got away
with without causing build failures in the network filesystems.
The patches after that recreate fscache and then cachefiles,
attempting to add the pieces in a logical order. Finally, the
filesystems are reenabled and then the very last patch changes the
documentation.
[!] Note: I have dropped the cifs patch for the moment, leaving local
caching in cifs disabled. I've been having trouble getting that
working. I think I have it done, but it needs more testing (there
seem to be some test failures occurring with v5.16 also from
xfstests), so I propose deferring that patch to the end of the
merge window.
WHY REWRITE?
============
Fscache's operation scheduling API was intended to handle sequencing
of cache operations, which were all required (where possible) to run
asynchronously in parallel with the operations being done by the
network filesystem, whilst allowing the cache to be brought online and
offline and to interrupt service for invalidation.
With the advent of the tmpfile capacity in the VFS, however, an
opportunity arises to do invalidation much more simply, without having
to wait for I/O that's actually in progress: Cachefiles can simply
create a tmpfile, cut over the file pointer for the backing object
attached to a cookie and abandon the in-progress I/O, dismissing it
upon completion.
Future work here would involve using Omar Sandoval's vfs_link() with
AT_LINK_REPLACE[1] to allow an extant file to be displaced by a new
hard link from a tmpfile as currently I have to unlink the old file
first.
These patches can also simplify the object state handling as I/O
operations to the cache don't all have to be brought to a stop in
order to invalidate a file. To that end, and with an eye on to writing
a new backing cache model in the future, I've taken the opportunity to
simplify the indexing structure.
I've separated the index cookie concept from the file cookie concept
by C type now. The former is now called a "volume cookie" (struct
fscache_volume) and there is a container of file cookies. There are
then just the two levels. All the index cookie levels are collapsed
into a single volume cookie, and this has a single printable string as
a key. For instance, an AFS volume would have a key of something like
"afs,example.com,1000555", combining the filesystem name, cell name
and volume ID. This is freeform, but must not have '/' chars in it.
I've also eliminated all pointers back from fscache into the network
filesystem. This required the duplication of a little bit of data in
the cookie (cookie key, coherency data and file size), but it's not
actually that much. This gets rid of problems with making sure we keep
netfs data structures around so that the cache can access them.
These patches mean that most of the code that was in the drivers
before is simply gone and those drivers are now almost entirely new
code. That being the case, there doesn't seem any particular reason to
try and maintain bisectability across it. Further, there has to be a
point in the middle where things are cut over as there's a single
point everything has to go through (ie. /dev/cachefiles) and it can't
be in use by two drivers at once.
ISSUES YET OUTSTANDING
======================
There are some issues still outstanding, unaddressed by this patchset,
that will need fixing in future patchsets, but that don't stop this
series from being usable:
(1) The cachefiles driver needs to stop using the backing filesystem's
metadata to store information about what parts of the cache are
populated. This is not reliable with modern extent-based
filesystems.
Fixing this is deferred to a separate patchset as it involves
negotiation with the network filesystem and the VM as to how much
data to download to fulfil a read - which brings me on to (2)...
(2) NFS (and CIFS with the dropped patch) do not take account of how
the cache would like I/O to be structured to meet its granularity
requirements. Previously, the cache used page granularity, which
was fine as the network filesystems also dealt in page
granularity, and the backing filesystem (ext4, xfs or whatever)
did whatever it did out of sight. However, we now have folios to
deal with and the cache will now have to store its own metadata to
track its contents.
The change I'm looking at making for cachefiles is to store
content bitmaps in one or more xattrs and making a bit in the map
correspond to something like a 256KiB block. However, the size of
an xattr and the fact that they have to be read/updated in one go
means that I'm looking at covering 1GiB of data per 512-byte map
and storing each map in an xattr. Cachefiles has the potential to
grow into a fully fledged filesystem of its very own if I'm not
careful.
However, I'm also looking at changing things even more radically
and going to a different model of how the cache is arranged and
managed - one that's more akin to the way, say, openafs does
things - which brings me on to (3)...
(3) The way cachefilesd does culling is very inefficient for large
caches and it would be better to move it into the kernel if I can
as cachefilesd has to keep asking the kernel if it can cull a
file. Changing the way the backend works would allow this to be
addressed.
BITS THAT MAY BE CONTROVERSIAL
==============================
There are some bits I've added that may be controversial:
(1) I've provided a flag, S_KERNEL_FILE, that cachefiles uses to check
if a files is already being used by some other kernel service
(e.g. a duplicate cachefiles cache in the same directory) and
reject it if it is. This isn't entirely necessary, but it helps
prevent accidental data corruption.
I don't want to use S_SWAPFILE as that has other effects, but
quite possibly swapon() should set S_KERNEL_FILE too.
Note that it doesn't prevent userspace from interfering, though
perhaps it should. (I have made it prevent a marked directory from
being rmdir-able).
(2) Cachefiles wants to keep the backing file for a cookie open whilst
we might need to write to it from network filesystem writeback.
The problem is that the network filesystem unuses its cookie when
its file is closed, and so we have nothing pinning the cachefiles
file open and it will get closed automatically after a short time
to avoid EMFILE/ENFILE problems.
Reopening the cache file, however, is a problem if this is being
done due to writeback triggered by exit(). Some filesystems will
oops if we try to open a file in that context because they want to
access current->fs or suchlike.
To get around this, I added the following:
(A) An inode flag, I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB, to be set on a network
filesystem inode to indicate that we have a usage count on the
cookie caching that inode.
(B) A flag in struct writeback_control, unpinned_fscache_wb, that
is set when __writeback_single_inode() clears the last dirty
page from i_pages - at which point it clears
I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and sets this flag.
This has to be done here so that clearing I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB
can be done atomically with the check of PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
that clears I_DIRTY_PAGES.
(C) A function, fscache_set_page_dirty(), which if it is not set,
sets I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and calls fscache_use_cookie() to
pin the cache resources.
(D) A function, fscache_unpin_writeback(), to be called by
->write_inode() to unuse the cookie.
(E) A function, fscache_clear_inode_writeback(), to be called when
the inode is evicted, before clear_inode() is called. This
cleans up any lingering I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB.
The network filesystem can then use these tools to make sure that
fscache_write_to_cache() can write locally modified data to the
cache as well as to the server.
For the future, I'm working on write helpers for netfs lib that
should allow this facility to be removed by keeping track of the
dirty regions separately - but that's incomplete at the moment and
is also going to be affected by folios, one way or another, since
it deals with pages"

When writing to the server from afs_writepage() or afs_writepages(), copy
the data to the cache object too.
To make this possible, the cookie must have its active users count
incremented when the page is dirtied and kept incremented until we manage
to clean up all the pages. This allows the writeback to take place after
the last file struct is released.

Fix afs_add_open_map() to check that the vnode isn't already on the list
when it adds it. It's possible that afs_drop_open_mmap() decremented
the cb_nr_mmap counter, but hadn't yet got into the locked section to
remove it.
Also vnode->cb_mmap_link should be initialised, so fix that too.

Fix the coherency management of mmap'd data such that 3rd-party changes
become visible as soon as possible after the callback notification is
delivered by the fileserver. This is done by the following means:
(1) When we break a callback on a vnode specified by the CB.CallBack call
from the server, we queue a work item (vnode->cb_work) to go and
clobber all the PTEs mapping to that inode.
This causes the CPU to trip through the ->map_pages() and
->page_mkwrite() handlers if userspace attempts to access the page(s)
again.
(Ideally, this would be done in the service handler for CB.CallBack,
but the server is waiting for our reply before considering, and we
have a list of vnodes, all of which need breaking - and the process of
getting the mmap_lock and stripping the PTEs on all CPUs could be
quite slow.)
(2) Call afs_validate() from the ->map_pages() handler to check to see if
the file has changed and to get a new callback promise from the
server.
Also handle the fileserver telling us that it's dropping all callbacks,
possibly after it's been restarted by sending us a CB.InitCallBackState*
call by the following means:
(3) Maintain a per-cell list of afs files that are currently mmap'd
(cell->fs_open_mmaps).
(4) Add a work item to each server that is invoked if there are any open
mmaps when CB.InitCallBackState happens. This work item goes through
the aforementioned list and invokes the vnode->cb_work work item for
each one that is currently using this server.
This causes the PTEs to be cleared, causing ->map_pages() or
->page_mkwrite() to be called again, thereby calling afs_validate()
again.
I've chosen to simply strip the PTEs at the point of notification reception
rather than invalidate all the pages as well because (a) it's faster, (b)
we may get a notification for other reasons than the data being altered (in
which case we don't want to clobber the pagecache) and (c) we need to ask
the server to find out - and I don't want to wait for the reply before
holding up userspace.
This was tested using the attached test program:
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
size_t size = getpagesize();
unsigned char *p;
bool mod = (argc == 3);
int fd;
if (argc != 2 && argc != 3) {
fprintf(stderr, "Format: %s <file> [mod]\n", argv[0]);
exit(2);
}
fd = open(argv[1], mod ? O_RDWR : O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0) {
perror(argv[1]);
exit(1);
}
p = mmap(NULL, size, mod ? PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE : PROT_READ,
MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
perror("mmap");
exit(1);
}
for (;;) {
if (mod) {
p[0]++;
msync(p, size, MS_ASYNC);
fsync(fd);
}
printf("%02x", p[0]);
fflush(stdout);
sleep(1);
}
}
It runs in two modes: in one mode, it mmaps a file, then sits in a loop
reading the first byte, printing it and sleeping for a second; in the
second mode it mmaps a file, then sits in a loop incrementing the first
byte and flushing, then printing and sleeping.
Two instances of this program can be run on different machines, one doing
the reading and one doing the writing. The reader should see the changes
made by the writer, but without this patch, they aren't because validity
checking is being done lazily - only on entry to the filesystem.
Testing the InitCallBackState change is more complicated. The server has
to be taken offline, the saved callback state file removed and then the
server restarted whilst the reading-mode program continues to run. The
client machine then has to poke the server to trigger the InitCallBackState
call.

Pull afs updates from David Howells:
"A collection of fixes to fix afs_cell struct refcounting, thereby
fixing a slew of related syzbot bugs:
- Fix the cell tree in the netns to use an rwsem rather than RCU.
There seem to be some problems deriving from the use of RCU and a
seqlock to walk the rbtree, but it's not entirely clear what since
there are several different failures being seen.
Changing things to use an rwsem instead makes it more robust. The
extra performance derived from using RCU isn't necessary in this
case since the only time we're looking up a cell is during mount or
when cells are being manually added.
- Fix the refcounting by splitting the usage counter into a memory
refcount and an active users counter. The usage counter was doing
double duty, keeping track of whether a cell is still in use and
keeping track of when it needs to be destroyed - but this makes the
clean up tricky. Separating these out simplifies the logic.
- Fix purging a cell that has an alias. A cell alias pins the cell
it's an alias of, but the alias is always later in the list. Trying
to purge in a single pass causes rmmod to hang in such a case.
- Fix cell removal. If a cell's manager is requeued whilst it's
removing itself, the manager will run again and re-remove itself,
causing problems in various places. Follow Hillf Danton's
suggestion to insert a more terminal state that causes the manager
to do nothing post-removal.
In additional to the above, two other changes:
- Add a tracepoint for the cell refcount and active users count. This
helped with debugging the above and may be useful again in future.
- Downgrade an assertion to a print when a still-active server is
seen during purging. This was happening as a consequence of
incomplete cell removal before the servers were cleaned up"

Management of the lifetime of afs_cell struct has some problems due to the
usage counter being used to determine whether objects of that type are in
use in addition to whether anyone might be interested in the structure.
This is made trickier by cell objects being cached for a period of time in
case they're quickly reused as they hold the result of a setup process that
may be slow (DNS lookups, AFS RPC ops).
Problems include the cached root volume from alias resolution pinning its
parent cell record, rmmod occasionally hanging and occasionally producing
assertion failures.
Fix this by splitting the count of active users from the struct reference
count. Things then work as follows:
(1) The cell cache keeps +1 on the cell's activity count and this has to
be dropped before the cell can be removed. afs_manage_cell() tries to
exchange the 1 to a 0 with the cells_lock write-locked, and if
successful, the record is removed from the net->cells.
(2) One struct ref is 'owned' by the activity count. That is put when the
active count is reduced to 0 (final_destruction label).
(3) A ref can be held on a cell whilst it is queued for management on a
work queue without confusing the active count. afs_queue_cell() is
added to wrap this.
(4) The queue's ref is dropped at the end of the management. This is
split out into a separate function, afs_manage_cell_work().
(5) The root volume record is put after a cell is removed (at the
final_destruction label) rather then in the RCU destruction routine.
(6) Volumes hold struct refs, but aren't active users.
(7) Both counts are displayed in /proc/net/afs/cells.
There are some management function changes:
(*) afs_put_cell() now just decrements the refcount and triggers the RCU
destruction if it becomes 0. It no longer sets a timer to have the
manager do this.
(*) afs_use_cell() and afs_unuse_cell() are added to increase and decrease
the active count. afs_unuse_cell() sets the management timer.
(*) afs_queue_cell() is added to queue a cell with approprate refs.
There are also some other fixes:
(*) Don't let /proc/net/afs/cells access a cell's vllist if it's NULL.
(*) Make sure that candidate cells in lookups are properly destroyed
rather than being simply kfree'd. This ensures the bits it points to
are destroyed also.
(*) afs_dec_cells_outstanding() is now called in cell destruction rather
than at "final_destruction". This ensures that cell->net is still
valid to the end of the destructor.
(*) As a consequence of the previous two changes, move the increment of
net->cells_outstanding that was at the point of insertion into the
tree to the allocation routine to correctly balance things.

There are a number of problems that are being seen by the rapidly mounting
and unmounting an afs dynamic root with an explicit cell and volume
specified (which should probably be rejected, but that's a separate issue):
What the tests are doing is to look up/create a cell record for the name
given and then tear it down again without actually using it to try to talk
to a server. This is repeated endlessly, very fast, and the new cell
collides with the old one if it's not quick enough to reuse it.
It appears (as suggested by Hillf Danton) that the search through the RB
tree under a read_seqbegin_or_lock() under RCU conditions isn't safe and
that it's not blocking the write_seqlock(), despite taking two passes at
it. He suggested that the code should take a ref on the cell it's
attempting to look at - but this shouldn't be necessary until we've
compared the cell names. It's possible that I'm missing a barrier
somewhere.
However, using an RCU search for this is overkill, really - we only need to
access the cell name in a few places, and they're places where we're may
end up sleeping anyway.
Fix this by switching to an R/W semaphore instead.
Additionally, draw the down_read() call inside the function (renamed to
afs_find_cell()) since all the callers were taking the RCU read lock (or
should've been[*]).
[*] afs_probe_cell_name() should have been, but that doesn't appear to be
involved in the bug reports.
The symptoms of this look like:

Reorganise afs_volume objects such that they're in a tree keyed on volume
ID, rooted at on an afs_cell object rather than being in multiple trees,
each of which is rooted on an afs_server object.
afs_server structs become per-cell and acquire a pointer to the cell.
The process of breaking a callback then starts with finding the server by
its network address, following that to the cell and then looking up each
volume ID in the volume tree.
This is simpler than the afs_vol_interest/afs_cb_interest N:M mapping web
and allows those structs and the code for maintaining them to be simplified
or removed.
It does make a couple of things a bit more tricky, though:
(1) Operations now start with a volume, not a server, so there can be more
than one answer as to whether or not the server we'll end up using
supports the FS.InlineBulkStatus RPC.
(2) CB RPC operations that specify the server UUID. There's still a tree
of servers by UUID on the afs_net struct, but the UUIDs in it aren't
guaranteed unique.

Put in the first phase of cell alias detection. This part handles alias
detection for cells that have root.cell volumes (which is expected to be
likely).
When a cell becomes newly active, it is probed for its root.cell volume,
and if it has one, this volume is compared against other root.cell volumes
to find out if the list of fileserver UUIDs have any in common - and if
that's the case, do the address lists of those fileservers have any
addresses in common. If they do, the new cell is adjudged to be an alias
of the old cell and the old cell is used instead.
Comparing is aided by the server list in struct afs_server_list being
sorted in UUID order and the addresses in the fileserver address lists
being sorted in address order.
The cell then retains the afs_volume object for the root.cell volume, even
if it's not mounted for future alias checking.
This necessary because:
(1) Whilst fileservers have UUIDs that are meant to be globally unique, in
practice they are not because cells get cloned without changing the
UUIDs - so afs_server records need to be per cell.
(2) Sometimes the DNS is used to make cell aliases - but if we don't know
they're the same, we may end up with multiple superblocks and multiple
afs_server records for the same thing, impairing our ability to
deliver callback notifications of third party changes

us which cell it's notifying and can't see that a change made to to
one cell should notify the same client that's also accessed as the
other cell.

Turn the afs_operation struct into the main way that most fileserver
operations are managed. Various things are added to the struct, including
the following:
(1) All the parameters and results of the relevant operations are moved
into it, removing corresponding fields from the afs_call struct.
afs_call gets a pointer to the op.
(2) The target volume is made the main focus of the operation, rather than
the target vnode(s), and a bunch of op->vnode->volume are made
op->volume instead.
(3) Two vnode records are defined (op->file[]) for the vnode(s) involved
in most operations. The vnode record (struct afs_vnode_param)
contains:
- The vnode pointer.
- The fid of the vnode to be included in the parameters or that was
returned in the reply (eg. FS.MakeDir).
- The status and callback information that may be returned in the
reply about the vnode.
- Callback break and data version tracking for detecting
simultaneous third-parth changes.
(4) Pointers to dentries to be updated with new inodes.
(5) An operations table pointer. The table includes pointers to functions
for issuing AFS and YFS-variant RPCs, handling the success and abort
of an operation and handling post-I/O-lock local editing of a
directory.
To make this work, the following function restructuring is made:
(A) The rotation loop that issues calls to fileservers that can be found
in each function that wants to issue an RPC (such as afs_mkdir()) is
extracted out into common code, in a new file called fs_operation.c.
(B) The rotation loops, such as the one in afs_mkdir(), are replaced with
a much smaller piece of code that allocates an operation, sets the
parameters and then calls out to the common code to do the actual
work.
(C) The code for handling the success and failure of an operation are
moved into operation functions (as (5) above) and these are called
from the core code at appropriate times.
(D) The pseudo inode getting stuff used by the dynamic root code is moved
over into dynroot.c.
(E) struct afs_iget_data is absorbed into the operation struct and
afs_iget() expects to be given an op pointer and a vnode record.
(F) Point (E) doesn't work for the root dir of a volume, but we know the
FID in advance (it's always vnode 1, unique 1), so a separate inode
getter, afs_root_iget(), is provided to special-case that.
(G) The inode status init/update functions now also take an op and a vnode
record.
(H) The RPC marshalling functions now, for the most part, just take an
afs_operation struct as their only argument. All the data they need
is held there. The result delivery functions write their answers
there as well.
(I) The call is attached to the operation and then the operation core does
the waiting.
And then the new operation code is, for the moment, made to just initialise
the operation, get the appropriate vnode I/O locks and do the same rotation
loop as before.
This lays the foundation for the following changes in the future:
(*) Overhauling the rotation (again).
(*) Support for asynchronous I/O, where the fileserver rotation must be
done asynchronously also.

Fix missing cell comparison in afs_test_super(). Without this, any pair
volumes that have the same volume ID will share a superblock, no matter the
cell, unless they're in different network namespaces.
Normally, most users will only deal with a single cell and so they won't
see this. Even if they do look into a second cell, they won't see a
problem unless they happen to hit a volume with the same ID as one they've
already got mounted.

When applying the status and callback in the response of an operation,
apply them in the same critical section so that there's no race between
checking the callback state and checking status-dependent state (such as
the data version).
Fix this by:
(1) Allocating a joint {status,callback} record (afs_status_cb) before
calling the RPC function for each vnode for which the RPC reply
contains a status or a status plus a callback. A flag is set in the
record to indicate if a callback was actually received.
(2) These records are passed into the RPC functions to be filled in. The
afs_decode_status() and yfs_decode_status() functions are removed and
the cb_lock is no longer taken.
(3) xdr_decode_AFSFetchStatus() and xdr_decode_YFSFetchStatus() no longer
update the vnode.
(4) xdr_decode_AFSCallBack() and xdr_decode_YFSCallBack() no longer update
the vnode.
(5) vnodes, expected data-version numbers and callback break counters
(cb_break) no longer need to be passed to the reply delivery
functions.
Note that, for the moment, the file locking functions still need
access to both the call and the vnode at the same time.
(6) afs_vnode_commit_status() is now given the cb_break value and the
expected data_version and the task of applying the status and the
callback to the vnode are now done here.
This is done under a single taking of vnode->cb_lock.
(7) afs_pages_written_back() is now called by afs_store_data() rather than
by the reply delivery function.
afs_pages_written_back() has been moved to before the call point and
is now given the first and last page numbers rather than a pointer to
the call.
(8) The indicator from YFS.RemoveFile2 as to whether the target file
actually got removed (status.abort_code == VNOVNODE) rather than
merely dropping a link is now checked in afs_unlink rather than in
xdr_decode_YFSFetchStatus().
Supplementary fixes:
(*) afs_cache_permit() now gets the caller_access mask from the
afs_status_cb object rather than picking it out of the vnode's status
record. afs_fetch_status() returns caller_access through its argument
list for this purpose also.
(*) afs_inode_init_from_status() now uses a write lock on cb_lock rather
than a read lock and now sets the callback inside the same critical
section.

Make certain RPC operations non-interruptible, including:
(*) Set attributes
(*) Store data
We don't want to get interrupted during a flush on close, flush on
unlock, writeback or an inode update, leaving us in a state where we
still need to do the writeback or update.
(*) Extend lock
(*) Release lock
We don't want to get lock extension interrupted as the file locks on
the server are time-limited. Interruption during lock release is less
of an issue since the lock is time-limited, but it's better to
complete the release to avoid a several-minute wait to recover it.
*Setting* the lock isn't a problem if it's interrupted since we can
just return to the user and tell them they were interrupted - at
which point they can elect to retry.
(*) Silly unlink
We want to remove silly unlink files if we can, rather than leaving
them for the salvager to clear up.
Note that whilst these calls are no longer interruptible, they do have
timeouts on them, so if the server stops responding the call will fail with
something like ETIME or ECONNRESET.
Without this, the following:
kAFS: Unexpected error from FS.StoreData -512
appears in dmesg when a pending store data gets interrupted and some
processes may just hang.
Additionally, make the code that checks/updates the server record ignore
failure due to interruption if the main call is uninterruptible and if the
server has an address list. The next op will check it again since the
expiration time on the old list has past.

Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
"A set of fix and development patches for AFS for 5.2.
Summary:
- Fix the AFS file locking so that sqlite can run on an AFS mount and
also so that firefox and gnome can use a homedir that's mounted
through AFS.
This required emulation of fine-grained locking when the server
will only support whole-file locks and no upgrade/downgrade. Four
modes are provided, settable by mount parameter:
"flock=local" - No reference to the server
"flock=openafs" - Fine-grained locks are local-only, whole-file
locks require sufficient server locks
"flock=strict" - All locks require sufficient server locks
"flock=write" - Always get an exclusive server lock
If the volume is a read-only or backup volume, then flock=local for
that volume.
- Log extra information for a couple of cases where the client mucks
up somehow: AFS vnode with undefined type and dir check failure -
in both cases we seem to end up with unfilled data, but the issues
happen infrequently and are difficult to reproduce at will.
- Implement silly rename for unlink() and rename().
- Set i_blocks so that du can get some information about usage.
- Fix xattr handlers to return the right amount of data and to not
overflow buffers.
- Implement getting/setting raw AFS and YFS ACLs as xattrs"

Provide byte-range file locking emulation that can be configured at mount
time to one of four modes:
(1) flock=local. Locking is done locally only and no reference is made to
the server.
(2) flock=openafs. Byte-range locking is done locally only; whole-file
locking is done with reference to the server. Whole-file locks cannot
be upgraded unless the client holds an exclusive lock.
(3) flock=strict. Byte-range and whole-file locking both require a
sufficient whole-file lock on the server.
(4) flock=write. As strict, but the client always gets an exclusive
whole-file lock on the server.

"The rest of core infrastructure; no new syscalls in that pile, but the
old parts are switched to new infrastructure. At that point
conversions of individual filesystems can happen independently; some
are done here (afs, cgroup, procfs, etc.), there's also a large series
outside of that pile dealing with NFS (quite a bit of option-parsing
stuff is getting used there - it's one of the most convoluted
filesystems in terms of mount-related logics), but NFS bits are the
next cycle fodder.
It got seriously simplified since the last cycle; documentation is
probably the weakest bit at the moment - I considered dropping the
commit introducing Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt (cutting
the size increase by quarter ;-), but decided that it would be better
to fix it up after -rc1 instead.
That pile allows to do followup work in independent branches, which
should make life much easier for the next cycle. fs/super.c size
increase is unpleasant; there's a followup series that allows to
shrink it considerably, but I decided to leave that until the next

Alter the AFS automounting code to create and modify an fs_context struct
when parameterising a new mount triggered by an AFS mountpoint rather than
constructing device name and option strings.
Also remove the cell=, vol= and rwpath options as they are then redundant.
The reason they existed is because the 'device name' may be derived
literally from a mountpoint object in the filesystem, so default cell and
parent-type information needed to be passed in by some other method from
the automount routines. The vol= option didn't end up being used.

Increase the sizes of the volume ID to 64 bits and the vnode ID (inode
number equivalent) to 96 bits to allow the support of YFS.
This requires the iget comparator to check the vnode->fid rather than i_ino
and i_generation as i_ino is not sufficiently capacious. It also requires
this data to be placed into the vnode cache key for fscache.
For the moment, just discard the top 32 bits of the vnode ID when returning
it though stat.

Alter the dynroot mount so that cells created by manipulation of
/proc/fs/afs/cells and /proc/fs/afs/rootcell and by specification of a root
cell as a module parameter will cause directories for those cells to be
created in the dynamic root superblock for the network namespace[*].
To this end:
(1) Only one dynamic root superblock is now created per network namespace
and this is shared between all attempts to mount it. This makes it
easier to find the superblock to modify.
(2) When a dynamic root superblock is created, the list of cells is walked
and directories created for each cell already defined.
(3) When a new cell is added, if a dynamic root superblock exists, a
directory is created for it.
(4) When a cell is destroyed, the directory is removed.
(5) These directories are created by calling lookup_one_len() on the root
dir which automatically creates them if they don't exist.
[*] Inasmuch as network namespaces are currently supported here.

It's possible for an AFS file server to issue a whole-volume notification
that callbacks on all the vnodes in the file have been broken. This is
done for R/O and backup volumes (which don't have per-file callbacks) and
for things like a volume being taken offline.
Fix callback handling to detect whole-volume notifications, to track it
across operations and to check it during inode validation.
Fixes: c435ee34551e ("afs: Overhaul the callback handling")

The afs directory loading code (primarily afs_read_dir()) locks all the
pages that hold a directory's content blob to defend against
getdents/getdents races and getdents/lookup races where the competitors
issue conflicting reads on the same data. As the reads will complete
consecutively, they may retrieve different versions of the data and
one may overwrite the data that the other is busy parsing.
Fix this by not locking the pages at all, but rather by turning the
validation lock into an rwsem and getting an exclusive lock on it whilst
reading the data or validating the attributes and a shared lock whilst
parsing the data. Sharing the attribute validation lock should be fine as
the data fetch will retrieve the attributes also.
The individual page locks aren't needed at all as the only place they're
being used is to serialise data loading.
Without this patch, the:
if (!test_bit(AFS_VNODE_DIR_VALID, &dvnode->flags)) {
...
}
part of afs_read_dir() may be skipped, leaving the pages unlocked when we
hit the success: clause - in which case we try to unlock the not-locked
pages, leading to the following oops:

Split the AFS dynamic root stuff out of the main directory handling file
and into its own file as they share little in common.
The dynamic root code also gets its own dentry and inode ops tables.

Support the AFS dynamic root which is a pseudo-volume that doesn't connect
to any server resource, but rather is just a root directory that
dynamically creates mountpoint directories where the name of such a
directory is the name of the cell.
Such a mount can be created thus:
mount -t afs none /afs -o dyn
Dynamic root superblocks aren't shared except by bind mounts and
propagation. Cell root volumes can then be mounted by referring to them by
name, e.g.:
ls /afs/grand.central.org/
ls /afs/.grand.central.org/
The kernel will upcall to consult the DNS if the address wasn't supplied
directly.
