afs: Fix ignored callbacks over ipv4

When searching for a matching peer, all addresses need to be searched,
not just the ipv6 ones in the fs_addresses6 list.

Given that the lists no longer contain addresses, there is little
reason to splitting things between separate lists, so unify them
into a single list.

When processing an incoming callback from an ipv4 address, this would
lead to a failure to set call->server, resulting in the callback being
ignored and the client seeing stale contents.

afs: Provide a way to configure address priorities

AFS servers may have multiple addresses, but the client can't easily judge
between them as to which one is best. For instance, an address that has a
larger RTT might actually have a better bandwidth because it goes through a
switch rather than being directly connected - but we can't work this out
dynamically unless we push through sufficient data that we can measure it.

To allow the administrator to configure this, add a list of preference
weightings for server addresses by IPv4/IPv6 address or subnet and allow
this to be viewed through a procfile and altered by writing text commands
to that same file. Preference rules can be added/updated by:

echo "add <proto> <addr>[/<subnet>] <prior>" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs
echo "add udp 1.2.3.4 1000" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs
echo "add udp 192.168.0.0/16 3000" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs
echo "add udp 1001:2002:0:6::/64 4000" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs

and removed by:

echo "del <proto> <addr>[/<subnet>]" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs
echo "del udp 1.2.3.4" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs

where the priority is a number between 0 and 65535.

The list is split between IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and each sublist is kept
in numerical order, with rules that would otherwise match but have
different subnet masking being ordered with the most specific submatch
first.

A subsequent patch will apply these rules.

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture

The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.

None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.

While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.

There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.

So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.

afs: Convert afs to use the new fscache API

Change the afs filesystem to support the new afs driver.

The following changes have been made:

(1) The fscache_netfs struct is no more, and there's no need to register
the filesystem as a whole. There's also no longer a cell cookie.

(2) The volume cookie is now an fscache_volume cookie, allocated with
fscache_acquire_volume(). This function takes three parameters: a
string representing the "volume" in the index, a string naming the
cache to use (or NULL) and a u64 that conveys coherency metadata for
the volume.

For afs, I've made it render the volume name string as:

"afs,<cell>,<volume_id>"

and the coherency data is currently 0.

(3) The fscache_cookie_def is no more and needed information is passed
directly to fscache_acquire_cookie(). The cache no longer calls back
into the filesystem, but rather metadata changes are indicated at
other times.

fscache_acquire_cookie() is passed the same keying and coherency
information as before, except that these are now stored in big endian
form instead of cpu endian. This makes the cache more copyable.

(4) fscache_use_cookie() and fscache_unuse_cookie() are called when a file
is opened or closed to prevent a cache file from being culled and to
keep resources to hand that are needed to do I/O.

fscache_use_cookie() is given an indication if the cache is likely to
be modified locally (e.g. the file is open for writing).

fscache_unuse_cookie() is given a coherency update if we had the file
open for writing and will update that.

(5) fscache_invalidate() is now given uptodate auxiliary data and a file
size. It can also take a flag to indicate if this was due to a DIO
write. This is wrapped into afs_fscache_invalidate() now for
convenience.

(6) fscache_resize() now gets called from the finalisation of
afs_setattr(), and afs_setattr() does use/unuse of the cookie around
the call to support this.

(7) fscache_note_page_release() is called from afs_release_page().

(8) Use a killable wait in nfs_vm_page_mkwrite() when waiting for
PG_fscache to be cleared.

Render the parts of the cookie key for an afs inode cookie as big endian.

Changes
=======
ver #2:
- Use gfpflags_allow_blocking() rather than using flag directly.
- fscache_acquire_volume() now returns errors.

rxrpc: Fix deadlock around release of dst cached on udp tunnel

AF_RXRPC sockets use UDP ports in encap mode. This causes socket and dst
from an incoming packet to get stolen and attached to the UDP socket from
whence it is leaked when that socket is closed.

When a network namespace is removed, the wait for dst records to be cleaned
up happens before the cleanup of the rxrpc and UDP socket, meaning that the
wait never finishes.

Fix this by moving the rxrpc (and, by dependence, the afs) private
per-network namespace registrations to the device group rather than subsys
group. This allows cached rxrpc local endpoints to be cleared and their
UDP sockets closed before we try waiting for the dst records.

The symptom is that lines looking like the following:

unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free

get emitted at regular intervals after running something like the
referenced syzbot test.

Thanks to Vadim for tracking this down and work out the fix.

afs: Fix rapid cell addition/removal by not using RCU on cells tree

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:

afs: Fix hang on rmmod due to outstanding timer

The fileserver probe timer, net->fs_probe_timer, isn't cancelled when
the kafs module is being removed and so the count it holds on
net->servers_outstanding doesn't get dropped..

This causes rmmod to wait forever. The hung process shows a stack like:

afs_purge_servers+0x1b5/0x23c [kafs]
afs_net_exit+0x44/0x6e [kafs]
ops_exit_list+0x72/0x93

do_syscall_64+0x51/0x95
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

Fix this by:

(1) Attempting to cancel the probe timer and, if successful, drop the
count that the timer was holding.

(2) Make the timer function just drop the count and not schedule the
prober if the afs portion of net namespace is being destroyed.

Also, whilst we're at it, make the following changes:

(3) Initialise net->servers_outstanding to 1 and decrement it before
waiting on it so that it doesn't generate wake up events by being
decremented to 0 until we're cleaning up.

(4) Switch the atomic_dec() on ->servers_outstanding for ->fs_timer in
afs_purge_servers() to use the helper function for that.

afs: Detect cell aliases 1 - Cells with root volumes

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

(3) The fileserver RPC API doesn't contain the cell name, so it can't tell
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.

# f6cbb368 24-Apr-2020 David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

afs: Actively poll fileservers to maintain NAT or firewall openings

When an AFS client accesses a file, it receives a limited-duration callback
promise that the server will notify it if another client changes a file.
This callback duration can be a few hours in length.

If a client mounts a volume and then an application prevents it from being
unmounted, say by chdir'ing into it, but then does nothing for some time,
the rxrpc_peer record will expire and rxrpc-level keepalive will cease.

If there is NAT or a firewall between the client and the server, the route
back for the server may close after a comparatively short duration, meaning
that attempts by the server to notify the client may then bounce.

The client, however, may (so far as it knows) still have a valid unexpired
promise and will then rely on its cached data and will not see changes made
on the server by a third party until it incidentally rechecks the status or
the promise needs renewal.

To deal with this, the client needs to regularly probe the server. This
has two effects: firstly, it keeps a route open back for the server, and
secondly, it causes the server to disgorge any notifications that got
queued up because they couldn't be sent.

Fix this by adding a mechanism to emit regular probes.

Two levels of probing are made available: Under normal circumstances the
'slow' queue will be used for a fileserver - this just probes the preferred
address once every 5 mins or so; however, if server fails to respond to any
probes, the server will shift to the 'fast' queue from which all its
interfaces will be probed every 30s. When it finally responds, the record
will switch back to the slow queue.

Further notes:

(1) Probing is now no longer driven from the fileserver rotation
algorithm.

(2) Probes are dispatched to all interfaces on a fileserver when that an
afs_server object is set up to record it.

(3) The afs_server object is removed from the probe queues when we start
to probe it. afs_is_probing_server() returns true if it's not listed
- ie. it's undergoing probing.

(4) The afs_server object is added back on to the probe queue when the
final outstanding probe completes, but the probed_at time is set when
we're about to launch a probe so that it's not dependent on the probe
duration.

(5) The timer and the work item added for this must be handed a count on
net->servers_outstanding, which they hand on or release. This makes
sure that network namespace cleanup waits for them.

(2) It's only holding the RCU read lock, so it can't just walk over the

Fix these by using an hlist instead of an ordinary list and using the

afs: Display manually added cells in dynamic root mount

Alter the dynroot mount so that cells created by manipulation of

cell as a module parameter will cause directories for those cells to be

To this end:

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

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.

afs: Overhaul cell database management

Overhaul the way that the in-kernel AFS client keeps track of cells in the
following manner:

(1) Cells are now held in an rbtree to make walking them quicker and RCU
managed (though this is probably overkill).

(2) Cells now have a manager work item that:

(A) Looks after fetching and refreshing the VL server list.

(B) Manages cell record lifetime, including initialising and
destruction.

(B) Manages cell record caching whereby threads are kept around for a
certain time after last use and then destroyed.

(C) Manages the FS-Cache index cookie for a cell. It is not permitted
for a cookie to be in use twice, so we have to be careful to not
allow a new cell record to exist at the same time as an old record
of the same name.

(3) Each AFS network namespace is given a manager work item that manages
the cells within it, maintaining a single timer to prod cells into
updating their DNS records.

This uses the reduce_timer() facility to make the timer expire at the
soonest timed event that needs happening.

(4) When a module is being unloaded, cells and cell managers are now
counted out using dec_after_work() to make sure the module text is
pinned until after the data structures have been cleaned up.

(5) Each cell's VL server list is now protected by a seqlock rather than a
semaphore.

afs: Overhaul permit caching

Overhaul permit caching in AFS by making it per-vnode and sharing permit
lists where possible.

When most of the fileserver operations are called, they return a status
structure indicating the (revised) details of the vnode or vnodes involved
in the operation. This includes the access mark derived from the ACL
(named CallerAccess in the protocol definition file). This is cacheable
and if the ACL changes, the server will tell us that it is breaking the
callback promise, at which point we can discard the currently cached
permits.

With this patch, the afs_permits structure has, at the end, an array of
{ key, CallerAccess } elements, sorted by key pointer. This is then cached
in a hash table so that it can be shared between vnodes with the same
access permits.

Permit lists can only be shared if they contain the exact same set of
key->CallerAccess mappings.

Note that that table is global rather than being per-net_ns. If the keys
in a permit list cross net_ns boundaries, there is no problem sharing the
cached permits, since the permits are just integer masks.

Since permit lists pin keys, the permit cache also makes it easier for a
future patch to find all occurrences of a key and remove them by means of
setting the afs_permits::invalidated flag and then clearing the appropriate
key pointer. In such an event, memory barriers will need adding.

Lastly, the permit caching is skipped if the server has sent either a
vnode-specific or an entire-server callback since the start of the
operation.

# c435ee34 02-Nov-2017 David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

afs: Overhaul the callback handling

Overhaul the AFS callback handling by the following means:

(1) Don't give up callback promises on vnodes that we are no longer using,
rather let them just expire on the server or let the server break
them. This is actually more efficient for the server as the callback
lookup is expensive if there are lots of extant callbacks.

(2) Only give up the callback promises we have from a server when the
server record is destroyed. Then we can just give up *all* the
callback promises on it in one go.

(3) Servers can end up being shared between cells if cells are aliased, so
don't add all the vnodes being backed by a particular server into a
big FID-indexed tree on that server as there may be duplicates.

Instead have each volume instance (~= superblock) register an interest
in a server as it starts to make use of it and use this to allow the
processor for callbacks from the server to find the superblock and
thence the inode corresponding to the FID being broken by means of
ilookup_nowait().

(4) Rather than iterating over the entire callback list when a mass-break
comes in from the server, maintain a counter of mass-breaks in
afs_server (cb_seq) and make afs_validate() check it against the copy
in afs_vnode.

It would be nice not to have to take a read_lock whilst doing this,
but that's tricky without using RCU.

(5) Save a ref on the fileserver we're using for a call in the afs_call
struct so that we can access its cb_s_break during call decoding.

(6) Write-lock around callback and status storage in a vnode and read-lock
around getattr so that we don't see the status mid-update.

This has the following consequences:

(1) Data invalidation isn't seen until someone calls afs_validate() on a
vnode. Unfortunately, we need to use a key to query the server, but
getting one from a background thread is tricky without caching loads
of keys all over the place.

(2) Mass invalidation isn't seen until someone calls afs_validate().

(3) Callback breaking is going to hit the inode_hash_lock quite a bit.
Could this be replaced with rcu_read_lock() since inodes are destroyed
under RCU conditions.

afs: Lay the groundwork for supporting network namespaces

Lay the groundwork for supporting network namespaces (netns) to the AFS
filesystem by moving various global features to a network-namespace struct
(afs_net) and providing an instance of this as a temporary global variable
that everything uses via accessor functions for the moment.

The following changes have been made:

(1) Store the netns in the superblock info. This will be obtained from
the mounter's nsproxy on a manual mount and inherited from the parent
superblock on an automount.

(2) The cell list is made per-netns. It can be viewed through
/proc/net/afs/cells and also be modified by writing commands to that
file.

(3) The local workstation cell is set per-ns in /proc/net/afs/rootcell.
This is unset by default.

(4) The 'rootcell' module parameter, which sets a cell and VL server list
modifies the init net namespace, thereby allowing an AFS root fs to be
theoretically used.

(5) The volume location lists and the file lock manager are made
per-netns.

(6) The AF_RXRPC socket and associated I/O bits are made per-ns.

The various workqueues remain global for the moment.

Changes still to be made:

(1) /proc/fs/afs/ should be moved to /proc/net/afs/ and a symlink emplaced
from the old name.

(2) A per-netns subsys needs to be registered for AFS into which it can
store its per-netns data.

(3) Rather than the AF_RXRPC socket being opened on module init, it needs
to be opened on the creation of a superblock in that netns.

(4) The socket needs to be closed when the last superblock using it is
destroyed and all outstanding client calls on it have been completed.
This prevents a reference loop on the namespace.

(5) It is possible that several namespaces will want to use AFS, in which
case each one will need its own UDP port. These can either be set
through /proc/net/afs/cm_port or the kernel can pick one at random.
The init_ns gets 7001 by default.

Other issues that need resolving:

(1) The DNS keyring needs net-namespacing.

(2) Where do upcalls go (eg. DNS request-key upcall)?

(3) Need something like open_socket_in_file_ns() syscall so that AFS
command line tools attempting to operate on an AFS file/volume have
their RPC calls go to the right place.

Detach sched.h from mm.h

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
