rxrpc, afs: Allow afs to pin rxrpc_peer objects Change rxrpc's API such that: (1) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer(), is provided to look up an rxrpc_peer record for a remote address and a corresponding function, rxrpc_kernel_put_peer(), is provided to dispose of it again. (2) When setting up a call, the rxrpc_peer object used during a call is now passed in rather than being set up by rxrpc_connect_call(). For afs, this meenat passing it to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() rather than the full address (the service ID then has to be passed in as a separate parameter). (3) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr(), is added so that afs can get a pointer to the transport address for display purposed, and another, rxrpc_kernel_remote_srx(), to gain a pointer to the full rxrpc address. (4) The function to retrieve the RTT from a call, rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt(), is then altered to take a peer. This now returns the RTT or -1 if there are insufficient samples. (5) Rename rxrpc_kernel_get_peer() to rxrpc_kernel_call_get_peer(). (6) Provide a new function, rxrpc_kernel_get_peer(), to get a ref on a peer the caller already has. This allows the afs filesystem to pin the rxrpc_peer records that it is using, allowing faster lookups and pointer comparisons rather than comparing sockaddr_rxrpc contents. It also makes it easier to get hold of the RTT. The following changes are made to afs: (1) The addr_list struct's addrs[] elements now hold a peer struct pointer and a service ID rather than a sockaddr_rxrpc. (2) When displaying the transport address, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr() is used. (3) The port arg is removed from afs_alloc_addrlist() since it's always overridden. (4) afs_merge_fs_addr4() and afs_merge_fs_addr6() do peer lookup and may now return an error that must be handled. (5) afs_find_server() now takes a peer pointer to specify the address. (6) afs_find_server(), afs_compare_fs_alists() and afs_merge_fs_addr[46]{} now do peer pointer comparison rather than address comparison.

This code is similar to the FS server list. (2) Use the DNS resolver to retrieve a set of servers and their associated addresses, ports, preference and weight ratings. (3) In the case of a legacy DNS resolver or an address list given directly through /proc/net/afs/cells, create a list containing just a dummy server record and attach all the addresses to that. (4) Implement a simple rotation policy, for the moment ignoring the priorities and weights assigned to the servers. (5) Show the address list through /proc/net/afs/<cell>/vlservers.

afs: Improve FS server rotation error handling Improve the error handling in FS server rotation by: (1) Cache the latest useful error value for the fs operation as a whole in struct afs_fs_cursor separately from the error cached in the afs_addr_cursor struct. The one in the address cursor gets clobbered occasionally. Copy over the error to the fs operation only when it's something we'd be interested in passing to userspace. (2) Make it so that EDESTADDRREQ is the default that is seen only if no addresses are available to be accessed. (3) When calling utility functions, such as checking a volume status or probing a fileserver, don't let a successful result clobber the cached error in the cursor; instead, stash the result in a temporary variable until it has been assessed. (4) Don't return ETIMEDOUT or ETIME if a better error, such as ENETUNREACH, is already cached. (5) On leaving the rotation loop, turn any remote abort code into a more useful error than ECONNABORTED.

treewide: Use struct_size() for kmalloc()-family One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example: struct foo { int stuff; void *entry[]; }; instance = kmalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL); This patch makes the changes for kmalloc()-family (and kvmalloc()-family) uses. It was done via automatic conversion with manual review for the "CHECKME" non-standard cases noted below, using the following Coccinelle script: // pkey_cache = kmalloc(sizeof *pkey_cache + tprops->pkey_tbl_len * // sizeof *pkey_cache->table, GFP_KERNEL); @@ identifier alloc =~ "kmalloc|kzalloc|kvmalloc|kvzalloc"; expression GFP; identifier VAR, ELEMENT; expression COUNT; @@ - alloc(sizeof(*VAR) + COUNT * sizeof(*VAR->ELEMENT), GFP) + alloc(struct_size(VAR, ELEMENT, COUNT), GFP) // mr = kzalloc(sizeof(*mr) + m * sizeof(mr->map[0]), GFP_KERNEL); @@ identifier alloc =~ "kmalloc|kzalloc|kvmalloc|kvzalloc"; expression GFP; identifier VAR, ELEMENT; expression COUNT; @@ - alloc(sizeof(*VAR) + COUNT * sizeof(VAR->ELEMENT[0]), GFP) + alloc(struct_size(VAR, ELEMENT, COUNT), GFP) // Same pattern, but can't trivially locate the trailing element name, // or variable name. @@ identifier alloc =~ "kmalloc|kzalloc|kvmalloc|kvzalloc"; expression GFP; expression SOMETHING, COUNT, ELEMENT; @@ - alloc(sizeof(SOMETHING) + COUNT * sizeof(ELEMENT), GFP) + alloc(CHECKME_struct_size(&SOMETHING, ELEMENT, COUNT), GFP) Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

afs: Make use of the YFS service upgrade to fully support IPv6 YFS VL servers offer an upgraded Volume Location service that can return IPv6 addresses to fileservers and volume servers in addition to IPv4 addresses using the YFSVL.GetEndpoints operation which we should use if it's available. To this end: (1) Make rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() return the call's current service ID so that the caller can detect service upgrade and see what the service was upgraded to. (2) When we see a VL server address we haven't seen before, send a VL.GetCapabilities operation to it with the service upgrade bit set. If we get an upgrade to the YFS VL service, change the service ID in the address list for that address to use the upgraded service and set a flag to note that this appears to be a YFS-compatible server. (3) If, when a server's addresses are being looked up, we note that we previously detected a YFS-compatible server, then send the YFSVL.GetEndpoints operation rather than VL.GetAddrsU. (4) Build a fileserver address list from the reply of YFSVL.GetEndpoints, including both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Volume server addresses are discarded. (5) The address list is sorted by address and port now, instead of just address. This allows multiple servers on the same host sitting on different ports.

afs: Overhaul volume and server record caching and fileserver rotation The current code assumes that volumes and servers are per-cell and are never shared, but this is not enforced, and, indeed, public cells do exist that are aliases of each other. Further, an organisation can, say, set up a public cell and a private cell with overlapping, but not identical, sets of servers. The difference is purely in the database attached to the VL servers. The current code will malfunction if it sees a server in two cells as it assumes global address -> server record mappings and that each server is in just one cell. Further, each server may have multiple addresses - and may have addresses of different families (IPv4 and IPv6, say). To this end, the following structural changes are made: (1) Server record management is overhauled: (a) Server records are made independent of cell. The namespace keeps track of them, volume records have lists of them and each vnode has a server on which its callback interest currently resides. (b) The cell record no longer keeps a list of servers known to be in that cell. (c) The server records are now kept in a flat list because there's no single address to sort on. (d) Server records are now keyed by their UUID within the namespace. (e) The addresses for a server are obtained with the VL.GetAddrsU rather than with VL.GetEntryByName, using the server's UUID as a parameter. (f) Cached server records are garbage collected after a period of non-use and are counted out of existence before purging is allowed to complete. This protects the work functions against rmmod. (g) The servers list is now in /proc/fs/afs/servers. (2) Volume record management is overhauled: (a) An RCU-replaceable server list is introduced. This tracks both servers and their coresponding callback interests. (b) The superblock is now keyed on cell record and numeric volume ID. (c) The volume record is now tied to the superblock which mounts it, and is activated when mounted and deactivated when unmounted. This makes it easier to handle the cache cookie without causing a double-use in fscache. (d) The volume record is loaded from the VLDB using VL.GetEntryByNameU to get the server UUID list. (e) The volume name is updated if it is seen to have changed when the volume is updated (the update is keyed on the volume ID). (3) The vlocation record is got rid of and VLDB records are no longer cached. Sufficient information is stored in the volume record, though an update to a volume record is now no longer shared between related volumes (volumes come in bundles of three: R/W, R/O and backup). and the following procedural changes are made: (1) The fileserver cursor introduced previously is now fleshed out and used to iterate over fileservers and their addresses. (2) Volume status is checked during iteration, and the server list is replaced if a change is detected. (3) Server status is checked during iteration, and the address list is replaced if a change is detected. (4) The abort code is saved into the address list cursor and -ECONNABORTED returned in afs_make_call() if a remote abort happened rather than translating the abort into an error message. This allows actions to be taken depending on the abort code more easily. (a) If a VMOVED abort is seen then this is handled by rechecking the volume and restarting the iteration. (b) If a VBUSY, VRESTARTING or VSALVAGING abort is seen then this is handled by sleeping for a short period and retrying and/or trying other servers that might serve that volume. A message is also displayed once until the condition has cleared. (c) If a VOFFLINE abort is seen, then this is handled as VBUSY for the moment. (d) If a VNOVOL abort is seen, the volume is rechecked in the VLDB to see if it has been deleted; if not, the fileserver is probably indicating that the volume couldn't be attached and needs salvaging. (e) If statfs() sees one of these aborts, it does not sleep, but rather returns an error, so as not to block the umount program. (5) The fileserver iteration functions in vnode.c are now merged into their callers and more heavily macroised around the cursor. vnode.c is removed. (6) Operations on a particular vnode are serialised on that vnode because the server will lock that vnode whilst it operates on it, so a second op sent will just have to wait. (7) Fileservers are probed with FS.GetCapabilities before being used. This is where service upgrade will be done. (8) A callback interest on a fileserver is set up before an FS operation is performed and passed through to afs_make_call() so that it can be set on the vnode if the operation returns a callback. The callback interest is passed through to afs_iget() also so that it can be set there too. In general, record updating is done on an as-needed basis when we try to access servers, volumes or vnodes rather than offloading it to work items and special threads. Notes: (1) Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can be added back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998). (2) VBUSY is retried forever for the moment at intervals of 1s. (3) /proc/fs/afs/<cell>/servers no longer exists. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

(3) An FS server's address list, for the moment, has a single entry that is the key to the server list. This will change in the future when a server is instead keyed on its UUID and the VL.GetAddrsU operation is used. (4) An 'address cursor' concept is introduced to handle iteration through the address list. This is passed to the afs_make_call() as, in the future, stuff (such as abort code) that doesn't outlast the call will be returned in it. In the future, we might want to annotate the list with information about how each address fares. We might then want to propagate such annotations over address list replacement. Whilst we're at it, we allow IPv6 addresses to be specified in colon-delimited lists by enclosing them in square brackets. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
