fs/9p: remove writeback fid and fix per-file modes

This patch removes the creating of an additional writeback_fid
for opened files. The patch addresses problems when files
were opened write-only or getattr on files with dirty caches.

This patch also incorporates information about cache behavior
in the fid for every file. This allows us to reflect cache
behavior from mount flags, open mode, and information from
the server to inform readahead and writeback behavior.

This includes adding support for a 9p semantic that qid.version==0
is used to mark a file as non-cachable which is important for
synthetic files. This may have a side-effect of not supporting
caching on certain legacy file servers that do not properly set
qid.version. There is also now a mount flag which can disable
the qid.version behavior.

9p fid refcount: cleanup p9_fid_put calls

Simplify p9_fid_put cleanup path in many 9p functions since the function
is noop on null or error fids.

Also make the *_add_fid() helpers "steal" the fid by nulling its
pointer, so put after them will be noop.

This should lead to no change of behaviour

9p: Fix refcounting during full path walks for fid lookups

Decrement the refcount of the parent dentry's fid after walking
each path component during a full path walk for a lookup. Failure to do
so can lead to fids that are not clunked until the filesystem is
unmounted, as indicated by this warning:

9pnet: found fid 3 not clunked

The improper refcounting after walking resulted in open(2) returning
-EIO on any directories underneath the mount point when using the virtio
transport. When using the fd transport, there's no apparent issue until
the filesytem is unmounted and the warning above is emitted to the logs.

In some cases, the user may not yet be attached to the filesystem and a
new root fid, associated with the user, is created and attached to the
root dentry before the full path walk is performed. Increment the new
root fid's refcount to two in that situation so that it can be safely
decremented to one after it is used for the walk operation. The new fid
will still be attached to the root dentry when
v9fs_fid_lookup_with_uid() returns so a final refcount of one is
correct/expected.

# 22e424fe 29-Jan-2022 Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@codewreck.org>

Revert "fs/9p: search open fids first"

This reverts commit 478ba09edc1f2f2ee27180a06150cb2d1a686f9c.

That commit was meant as a fix for setattrs with by fd (e.g. ftruncate)
to use an open fid instead of the first fid it found on lookup.
The proper fix for that is to use the fid associated with the open file
struct, available in iattr->ia_file for such operations, and was
actually done just before in 66246641609b ("9p: retrieve fid from file
when file instance exist.")
As such, this commit is no longer required.

Furthermore, changing lookup to return open fids first had unwanted side
effects, as it turns out the protocol forbids the use of open fids for
further walks (e.g. clone_fid) and we broke mounts for some servers
enforcing this rule.

Note this only reverts to the old working behaviour, but it's still
possible for lookup to return open fids if dentry->d_fsdata is not set,
so more work is needed to make sure we respect this rule in the future,
for example by adding a flag to the lookup functions to only match
certain fid open modes depending on caller requirements.

(3) 9p's caches_show() doesn't really make sense as an API function, so

9p: add refcount to p9_fid struct

Fix race issue in fid contention.

Eric's and Greg's patch offer a mechanism to fix open-unlink-f*syscall
bug in 9p. But there is race issue in fid parallel accesses.
As Greg's patch stores all of fids from opened files into according inode,
so all the lookup fid ops can retrieve fid from inode preferentially. But
there is no mechanism to handle the fid contention issue. For example,
there are two threads get the same fid in the same time and one of them
clunk the fid before the other thread ready to discard the fid. In this
scenario, it will lead to some fatal problems, even kernel core dump.

I introduce a mechanism to fix this race issue. A counter field introduced
into p9_fid struct to store the reference counter to the fid. When a fid
is allocated from the inode or dentry, the counter will increase, and
will decrease at the end of its occupation. It is guaranteed that the
fid won't be clunked before the reference counter go down to 0, then
we can avoid the clunked fid to be used.

tests:
race issue test from the old test case:
for file in {01..50}; do touch f.${file}; done
seq 1 1000 | xargs -n 1 -P 50 -I{} cat f.* > /dev/null

open-unlink-f*syscall test:
I have tested for f*syscall include: ftruncate fstat fchown fchmod faccessat.

# 478ba09e 23-Sep-2020 Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org>

fs/9p: search open fids first

A previous patch fixed the "create-unlink-getattr" idiom: if getattr is
called on an unlinked file, we try to find an open fid attached to the
corresponding inode.

We have a similar issue with file permissions and setattr:

open("./test.txt", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666) = 4
chmod("./test.txt", 0) = 0
truncate("./test.txt", 0) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
ftruncate(4, 0) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

The failure is expected with truncate() but not with ftruncate().

This happens because the lookup code does find a matching fid in the
dentry list. Unfortunately, this is not an open fid and the server
will be forced to rely on the path name, rather than on an open file
descriptor. This is the case in QEMU: the setattr operation will use
truncate() and fail because of bad write permissions.

This patch changes the logic in the lookup code, so that we consider
open fids first. It gives a chance to the server to match this open
fid to an open file descriptor and use ftruncate() instead of truncate().
This does not change the current behaviour for truncate() and other
path name based syscalls, since file permissions are checked earlier
in the VFS layer.

With this patch, we get:

open("./test.txt", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666) = 4
chmod("./test.txt", 0) = 0
truncate("./test.txt", 0) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
ftruncate(4, 0) = 0

fs/9p: fix create-unlink-getattr idiom

Fixes several outstanding bug reports of not being able to getattr from an
open file after an unlink. This patch cleans up transient fids on an unlink
and will search open fids on a client if it detects a dentry that appears to
have been unlinked. This search is necessary because fstat does not pass fd
information through the VFS API to the filesystem, only the dentry which for
9p has an imperfect match to fids.

Inherent in this patch is also a fix for the qid handling on create/open
which apparently wasn't being set correctly and was necessary for the search
to succeed.

A possible optimization over this fix is to include accounting of open fids
with the inode in the private data (in a similar fashion to the way we track
transient fids with dentries). This would allow a much quicker search for
a matching open fid.

(changed v9fs_fid_find_global to v9fs_fid_find_inode in comment)

treewide: kmalloc() -> kmalloc_array()

The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

# 5a0e3ad6 24-Mar-2010 Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.

2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

# ba17674f 17-Oct-2007 Latchesar Ionkov <lucho@ionkov.net>

9p: attach-per-user

The 9P2000 protocol requires the authentication and permission checks to be
done in the file server. For that reason every user that accesses the file
server tree has to authenticate and attach to the server separately.
Multiple users can share the same connection to the server.

Currently v9fs does a single attach and executes all I/O operations as a
single user. This makes using v9fs in multiuser environment unsafe as it
depends on the client doing the permission checking.

This patch improves the 9P2000 support by allowing every user to attach
separately. The patch defines three modes of access (new mount option
'access'):

- attach-per-user (access=user) (default mode for 9P2000.u)
If a user tries to access a file served by v9fs for the first time, v9fs
sends an attach command to the server (Tattach) specifying the user. If
the attach succeeds, the user can access the v9fs tree.
As there is no uname->uid (string->integer) mapping yet, this mode works
only with the 9P2000.u dialect.

- allow only one user to access the tree (access=<uid>)
Only the user with uid can access the v9fs tree. Other users that attempt
to access it will get EPERM error.

- do all operations as a single user (access=any) (default for 9P2000)
V9fs does a single attach and all operations are done as a single user.
If this mode is selected, the v9fs behavior is identical with the current
one.

9p: implement optional loose read cache

While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its
place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is
exclusive and/or read-only. The vacfs views of venti content addressable
store are a real-world instance of such a situation. To facilitate higher
performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches),
we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain
any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache. This results in over
two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads
in the Bonnie benchmark. The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems
to improve metadata operational performance.

[PATCH] v9fs: simplify fid mapping

v9fs has been plagued by an over-complicated approach trying to map Linux
dentry semantics to Plan 9 fid semantics. Our previous approach called for
aggressive flushing of the dcache resulting in several problems (including
wierd cwd behavior when running /bin/pwd).

This patch dramatically simplifies our handling of this fid management. Fids
will not be clunked as promptly, but the new approach is more functionally
correct. We now clunk un-open fids only when their dentry ref_count reaches 0
(and d_delete is called).

Another simplification is we no longer seek to match fids to the process-id or
uid of the action initiator. The uid-matching will need to be revisited when
we fix the security model.

[PATCH] v9fs: fix races in fid allocation

Fid management cleanup. The patch attempts to fix the races in dentry's
fid management.

Dentries don't keep the opened fids anymore, they are moved to the file
structs. Ideally there should be no more than one fid with fidcreate equal
to zero in the dentry's list of fids.

v9fs_fid_create initializes the important fields (fid, fidcreated) before
v9fs_fid is added to the list. v9fs_fid_lookup returns only fids that are
not created by v9fs_create. v9fs_fid_get_created returns the fid created
by the same process by v9fs_create (if any) and removes it from dentry's
list
