afs: Increase buffer size in afs_update_volume_status()

The max length of volume->vid value is 20 characters.
So increase idbuf[] size up to 24 to avoid overflow.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

[DH: Actually, it's 20 + NUL, so increase it to 24 and use snprintf()]

afs: Fix fileserver rotation

Fix the fileserver rotation so that it doesn't use RTT as the basis for
deciding which server and address to use as this doesn't necessarily give a
good indication of the best path. Instead, use the configurable preference
list in conjunction with whatever probes have succeeded at the time of
looking.

To this end, make the following changes:

(1) Keep an array of "server states" to track what addresses we've tried
on each server and move the waitqueue entries there that we'll need
for probing.

(2) Each afs_server_state struct is made to pin the corresponding server's
endpoint state rather than the afs_operation struct carrying a pin on
the server we're currently looking at.

(3) Drop the server list preference; we now always rescan the server list.

(4) afs_wait_for_probes() now uses the server state list to guide it in
what it waits for (and to provide the waitqueue entries) and returns
an indication of whether we'd got a response, run out of responsive
addresses or the endpoint state had been superseded and we need to
restart the iteration.

(5) Call afs_get_address_preferences*() occasionally to refresh the
preference values.

(6) When picking a server, scan the addresses of the servers for which we
have as-yet untested communications, looking for the highest priority
one and use that instead of trying all the addresses for a particular
server in ascending-RTT order.

(7) When a Busy or Offline state is seen across all available servers, do
a short sleep.

(8) If we detect that we accessed a future RO volume version whilst it is
undergoing replication, reissue the op against the older version until
at least half of the servers are replicated.

(9) Whilst RO replication is ongoing, increase the frequency of Volume
Location server checks for that volume to every ten minutes instead of
hourly.

Also add a tracepoint to track progress through the rotation algorithm.

afs: Overhaul invalidation handling to better support RO volumes

Overhaul the third party-induced invalidation handling, making use of the
previously added volume-level event counters (cb_scrub and cb_ro_snapshot)
that are now being parsed out of the VolSync record returned by the
fileserver in many of its replies.

This allows better handling of RO (and Backup) volumes. Since these are
snapshot of a RW volume that are updated atomically simultantanously across
all servers that host them, they only require a single callback promise for
the entire volume. The currently upstream code assumes that RO volumes
operate in the same manner as RW volumes, and that each file has its own
individual callback - which means that it does a status fetch for *every*
file in a RO volume, whether or not the volume got "released" (volume
callback breaks can occur for other reasons too, such as the volumeserver
taking ownership of a volume from a fileserver).

To this end, make the following changes:

(1) Change the meaning of the volume's cb_v_break counter so that it is
now a hint that we need to issue a status fetch to work out the state
of a volume. cb_v_break is incremented by volume break callbacks and
by server initialisation callbacks.

(2) Add a second counter, cb_v_check, to the afs_volume struct such that
if this differs from cb_v_break, we need to do a check. When the
check is complete, cb_v_check is advanced to what cb_v_break was at
the start of the status fetch.

(3) Move the list of mmap'd vnodes to the volume and trigger removal of
PTEs that map to files on a volume break rather than on a server
break.

(4) When a server reinitialisation callback comes in, use the
server-to-volume reverse mapping added in a preceding patch to iterate
over all the volumes using that server and clear the volume callback
promises for that server and the general volume promise as a whole to
trigger reanalysis.

(5) Replace the AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED flag with an AFS_NO_CB_PROMISE
(TIME64_MIN) value in the cb_expires_at field, reducing the number of
checks we need to make.

(6) Change afs_check_validity() to quickly see if various event counters
have been incremented or if the vnode or volume callback promise is
due to expire/has expired without making any changes to the state.
That is now left to afs_validate() as this may get more complicated in
future as we may have to examine server records too.

(7) Overhaul afs_validate() so that it does a single status fetch if we
need to check the state of either the vnode or the volume - and do so
under appropriate locking. The function does the following steps:

(A) If the vnode/volume is no longer seen as valid, then we take the
vnode validation lock and, if the volume promise has expired, the
volume check lock also. The latter prevents redundant checks being
made to find out if a new version of the volume got released.

(B) If a previous RPC call found that the volsync changed unexpectedly
or that a RO volume was updated, then we unmap all PTEs pointing to
the file to stop mmap being used for access.

(C) If the vnode is still seen to be of uncertain validity, then we
perform an FS.FetchStatus RPC op to jointly update the volume status
and the vnode status. This assessment is done as part of parsing the
reply:

If the RO volume creation timestamp advances, cb_ro_snapshot is
incremented; if either the creation or update timestamps changes in
an unexpected way, the cb_scrub counter is incremented

If the Data Version returned doesn't match the copy we have
locally, then we ask for the pagecache to be zapped. This takes
care of handling RO update.

(D) If cb_scrub differs between volume and vnode, the vnode's
pagecache is zapped and the vnode's cb_scrub is updated unless the
file is marked as having been deleted.

afs: Parse the VolSync record in the reply of a number of RPC ops

A number of fileserver RPC operations return a VolSync record as part of
their reply that gives some information about the state of the volume being
accessed, including:

(1) A volume Creation timestamp. For an RW volume, this is the time at
which the volume was created; if it changes, the RW volume was
presumably restored from a backup and all cached data should be
scrubbed as Data Version numbers could regress on the files in the
volume.

For an RO volume, this is the time it was last snapshotted from the RW
volume. It is expected to advance each time this happens; if it
regresses, cached data should be scrubbed.

(2) A volume Update timestamp (Auristor only). For an RW volume, this is
updated any time any change is made to a volume or its contents. If
it regresses, all cached data must be scrubbed.

For an RO volume, this is a copy of the RW volume's Update timestamp
at the point of snapshotting. It can be used as a version number when
checking to see if a callback on a RO volume was due to a snapshot.
If it regresses, all cached data must be scrubbed.

but this is currently not made use of by the in-kernel afs filesystem.

Make the afs filesystem use this by:

(1) Add an update time field to the afs_volsync struct and use a value of
TIME64_MIN in both that and the creation time to indicate that they
are unset.

(2) Add creation and update time fields to the afs_volume struct and use
this to track the two timestamps.

(3) Add a volsync_lock mutex to the afs_volume struct to control
modification access for when we detect a change in these values.

(3) Add a 'pre-op volsync' struct to the afs_operation struct to record
the state of the volume tracking before the op.

(4) Add a new counter, cb_scrub, to the afs_volume struct to count events
that require all data to be scrubbed. A copy is placed in the
afs_vnode struct (inode) and if they no longer match, a scrub takes
place.

(5) When the result of an operation is being parsed, parse the VolSync
data too, if it is provided. Note that the two timestamps are handled
separately, since they don't work in quite the same way.

- If the afs_volume tracking is unset, just set it and do nothing
else.

- If the result timestamps are the same as the ones in afs_volume, do
nothing.

- If the timestamps regress, increment cb_scrub if not already done
so.

- If the creation timestamp on a RW volume changes, increment cb_scrub
if not already done so.

- If the creation timestamp on a RO volume advances, update the server
list and see if the current server has been excluded, if so reissue
the op. Once over half of the replication sites have been updated,
increment cb_ro_snapshot to indicate updates may be required and
switch over to excluding unupdated replication sites.

- If the creation timestamp on a Backup volume advances, just
increment cb_ro_snapshot to trigger updates.

afs: Make it possible to find the volumes that are using a server

Make it possible to find the afs_volume structs that are using an
afs_server struct to aid in breaking volume callbacks.

The way this is done is that each afs_volume already has an array of
afs_server_entry records that point to the servers where that volume might
be found. An afs_volume backpointer and a list node is added to each entry
and each entry is then added to an RCU-traversable list on the afs_server
to which it points.

afs: Fix use-after-free due to get/remove race in volume tree

When an afs_volume struct is put, its refcount is reduced to 0 before
the cell->volume_lock is taken and the volume removed from the
cell->volumes tree.

Unfortunately, this means that the lookup code can race and see a volume
with a zero ref in the tree, resulting in a use-after-free:

because the refcount is 0, replace the node in the tree and set the

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.

afs: Fix cell refcounting by splitting the usage counter

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.

afs: Reorganise volume and server trees to be rooted on the cell

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.

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.

afs: Build an abstraction around an "operation" concept

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

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.

(1) The callbacks to the netfs for this stuff can be eliminated. This
can simplify things in the cache as the information is still
available, even after the cache has relinquished the cookie.

(2) Simplifies the locking requirements of accessing the information as we
don't have to worry about the netfs object going away on us.

(3) The cache can do lazy updating of the coherency information on disk.
As long as the cache is flushed before reboot/poweroff, there's no
need to update the coherency info on disk every time it changes.

(4) Cookies can be hashed or put in a tree as the index key is easily
available. This allows:

(a) Checks for duplicate cookies can be made at the top fscache layer
rather than down in the bowels of the cache backend.

(b) Caching can be added to a netfs object that has a cookie if the
cache is brought online after the netfs object is allocated.

A certain amount of space is made in the cookie for inline copies of the
data, but if it won't fit there, extra memory will be allocated for it.

The downside of this is that live cache operation requires more memory.

was already done by afs_alloc_server_list() which afs_alloc_volume()
previously called. This just results in twice as many VL RPCs.

(2) In afs_deliver_vl_get_entry_by_name_u(), use the number of server
records indicated by ->nServers in the UVLDB record returned by the
VL.GetEntryByNameU RPC call rather than scanning all NMAXNSERVERS
slots. Unused slots may contain garbage.

(3) In afs_alloc_server_list(), don't stop converting a UVLDB record into
a server list just because we can't look up one of the servers. Just
skip that server and go on to the next. If we can't look up any of
the servers then we'll fail at the end.

Without this patch, an attempt to view the umich.edu root cell using
something like "ls /afs/umich.edu" on a dynamic root (future patch) mount
or an autocell mount will result in ENOMEDIUM. The failure is due to kafs
not stopping after nServers'worth of records have been read, but then
trying to access a server with a garbage UUID and getting an error, which
aborts the server list build.

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.

To this end:

(1) A cell's VL server address list can be loaded directly via insmod or
echo to /proc/fs/afs/cells or dynamically from a DNS query for AFSDB
or SRV records.

(2) Anyone wanting to use a cell's VL server address must wait until the
cell record comes online and has tried to obtain some addresses.

(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.

# 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.

fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support

Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the
backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.

Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead. Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device. It also removes the need for
the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

# 94d30ae9 20-Sep-2013 David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

FS-Cache: Provide the ability to enable/disable cookies

Provide the ability to enable and disable fscache cookies. A disabled cookie
will reject or ignore further requests to:

Acquire a child cookie
Invalidate and update backing objects
Check the consistency of a backing object
Allocate storage for backing page
Read backing pages
Write to backing pages

but still allows:

Checks/waits on the completion of already in-progress objects
Uncaching of pages
Relinquishment of cookies

Two new operations are provided:

(1) Disable a cookie:

void fscache_disable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
bool invalidate);

If the cookie is not already disabled, this locks the cookie against other
dis/enablement ops, marks the cookie as being disabled, discards or
invalidates any backing objects and waits for cessation of activity on any
associated object.

This is a wrapper around a chunk split out of fscache_relinquish_cookie(),
but it reinitialises the cookie such that it can be reenabled.

All possible failures are handled internally. The caller should consider
calling fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages() afterwards to make sure all page
markings are cleared up.

(2) Enable a cookie:

void fscache_enable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
bool (*can_enable)(void *data),
void *data)

If the cookie is not already enabled, this locks the cookie against other
dis/enablement ops, invokes can_enable() and, if the cookie is not an
index cookie, will begin the procedure of acquiring backing objects.

The optional can_enable() function is passed the data argument and returns
a ruling as to whether or not enablement should actually be permitted to
begin.

All possible failures are handled internally. The cookie will only be
marked as enabled if provisional backing objects are allocated.

A later patch will introduce these to NFS. Cookie enablement during nfs_open()
is then contingent on i_writecount <= 0. can_enable() checks for a race
between open(O_RDONLY) and open(O_WRONLY/O_RDWR). This simplifies NFS's cookie
handling and allows us to get rid of open(O_RDONLY) accidentally introducing
caching to an inode that's open for writing already.

One operation has its API modified:

(3) Acquire a cookie.

struct fscache_cookie *fscache_acquire_cookie(
struct fscache_cookie *parent,
const struct fscache_cookie_def *def,
void *netfs_data,
bool enable);

This now has an additional argument that indicates whether the requested
cookie should be enabled by default. It doesn't need the can_enable()
function because the caller must prevent multiple calls for the same netfs
object and it doesn't need to take the enablement lock because no one else
can get at the cookie before this returns.

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%).

Cross-compile tested on

all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
alpha alpha-up
arm
i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig
ia64 ia64-up

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
