nfsd: allow reaping files still under writeback

On most filesystems, there is no reason to delay reaping an nfsd_file
just because its underlying inode is still under writeback. nfsd just
relies on client activity or the local flusher threads to do writeback.

The main exception is NFS, which flushes all of its dirty data on last
close. Add a new EXPORT_OP_FLUSH_ON_CLOSE flag to allow filesystems to
signal that they do this, and only skip closing files under writeback on
such filesystems.

Also, remove a redundant NULL file pointer check in
nfsd_file_check_writeback, and clean up nfs's export op flag
definitions.

nfs: block notification on fs with its own ->lock

NFSv4.1 supports an optional lock notification feature which notifies
the client when a lock comes available. (Normally NFSv4 clients just
poll for locks if necessary.) To make that work, we need to request a
blocking lock from the filesystem.

We turned that off for NFS in commit f657f8eef3ff ("nfs: don't atempt
blocking locks on nfs reexports") [sic] because it actually blocks the
nfsd thread while waiting for the lock.

Thanks to Vasily Averin for pointing out that NFS isn't the only
filesystem with that problem.

Any filesystem that leaves ->lock NULL will use posix_lock_file(), which
does the right thing. Simplest is just to assume that any filesystem
that defines its own ->lock is not safe to request a blocking lock from.

So, this patch mostly reverts commit f657f8eef3ff ("nfs: don't atempt
blocking locks on nfs reexports") [sic] and commit b840be2f00c0 ("lockd:
don't attempt blocking locks on nfs reexports"), and instead uses a
check of ->lock (Vasily's suggestion) to decide whether to support
blocking lock notifications on a given filesystem. Also add a little
documentation.

Perhaps someday we could add back an export flag later to allow
filesystems with "good" ->lock methods to support blocking lock
notifications.

nfs: don't atempt blocking locks on nfs reexports

NFS implements blocking locks by blocking inside its lock method. In
the reexport case, this blocks the nfs server thread, which could lead
to deadlocks since an nfs server thread might be required to unlock the
conflicting lock. It also causes a crash, since the nfs server thread
assumes it can free the lock when its lm_notify lock callback is called.

Ideal would be to make the nfs lock method return without blocking in
this case, but for now it works just not to attempt blocking locks. The
difference is just that the original client will have to poll (as it
does in the v4.0 case) instead of getting a callback when the lock's
available.

nfs: use change attribute for NFS re-exports

When exporting NFS, we may as well use the real change attribute
returned by the original server instead of faking up a change attribute
from the ctime.

Note we can't do that by setting I_VERSION--that would also turn on the
logic in iversion.h which treats the lower bit specially, and that
doesn't make sense for NFS.

So instead we define a new export operation for filesystems like NFS
that want to manage the change attribute themselves.

nfsd: close cached files prior to a REMOVE or RENAME that would replace target

It's not uncommon for some workloads to do a bunch of I/O to a file and
delete it just afterward. If knfsd has a cached open file however, then
the file may still be open when the dentry is unlinked. If the
underlying filesystem is nfs, then that could trigger it to do a
sillyrename.

On a REMOVE or RENAME scan the nfsd_file cache for open files that
correspond to the inode, and proactively unhash and put their
references. This should prevent any delete-on-last-close activity from
occurring, solely due to knfsd's open file cache.

This must be done synchronously though so we use the variants that call
flush_delayed_fput. There are deadlock possibilities if you call
flush_delayed_fput while holding locks, however. In the case of
nfsd_rename, we don't even do the lookups of the dentries to be renamed
until we've locked for rename.

Once we've figured out what the target dentry is for a rename, check to
see whether there are cached open files associated with it. If there
are, then unwind all of the locking, close them all, and then reattempt
the rename.

None of this is really necessary for "typical" filesystems though. It's
mostly of use for NFS, so declare a new export op flag and use that to
determine whether to close the files beforehand.

nfsd: allow filesystems to opt out of subtree checking

When we start allowing NFS to be reexported, then we have some problems
when it comes to subtree checking. In principle, we could allow it, but
it would mean encoding parent info in the filehandles and there may not
be enough space for that in a NFSv3 filehandle.

To enforce this at export upcall time, we add a new export_ops flag
that declares the filesystem ineligible for subtree checking.

# daab110e 30-Nov-2020 Jeff Layton <jeff.layton@primarydata.com>

nfsd: add a new EXPORT_OP_NOWCC flag to struct export_operations

With NFSv3 nfsd will always attempt to send along WCC data to the
client. This generally involves saving off the in-core inode information
prior to doing the operation on the given filehandle, and then issuing a
vfs_getattr to it after the op.

Some filesystems (particularly clustered or networked ones) have an
expensive ->getattr inode operation. Atomicity is also often difficult
or impossible to guarantee on such filesystems. For those, we're best
off not trying to provide WCC information to the client at all, and to
simply allow it to poll for that information as needed with a GETATTR
RPC.

This patch adds a new flags field to struct export_operations, and
defines a new EXPORT_OP_NOWCC flag that filesystems can use to indicate
that nfsd should not attempt to provide WCC info in NFSv3 replies. It
also adds a blurb about the new flags field and flag to the exporting
documentation.

The server will also now skip collecting this information for NFSv2 as
well, since that info is never used there anyway.

Note that this patch does not add this flag to any filesystem
export_operations structures. This was originally developed to allow
reexporting nfs via nfsd.

Other filesystems may want to consider enabling this flag too. It's hard
to tell however which ones have export operations to enable export via
knfsd and which ones mostly rely on them for open-by-filehandle support,
so I'm leaving that up to the individual maintainers to decide. I am
cc'ing the relevant lists for those filesystems that I think may want to
consider adding this though.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
