NFS: Convert buffered read paths to use netfs when fscache is enabled

Convert the NFS buffered read code paths to corresponding netfs APIs,
but only when fscache is configured and enabled.

The netfs API defines struct netfs_request_ops which must be filled
in by the network filesystem. For NFS, we only need to define 5 of
the functions, the main one being the issue_read() function.
The issue_read() function is called by the netfs layer when a read
cannot be fulfilled locally, and must be sent to the server (either
the cache is not active, or it is active but the data is not available).
Once the read from the server is complete, netfs requires a call to
netfs_subreq_terminated() which conveys either how many bytes were read
successfully, or an error. Note that issue_read() is called with a
structure, netfs_io_subrequest, which defines the IO requested, and
contains a start and a length (both in bytes), and assumes the underlying
netfs will return a either an error on the whole region, or the number
of bytes successfully read.

The NFS IO path is page based and the main APIs are the pgio APIs defined
in pagelist.c. For the pgio APIs, there is no way for the caller to
know how many RPCs will be sent and how the pages will be broken up
into underlying RPCs, each of which will have their own completion and
return code. In contrast, netfs is subrequest based, a single
subrequest may contain multiple pages, and a single subrequest is
initiated with issue_read() and terminated with netfs_subreq_terminated().
Thus, to utilze the netfs APIs, NFS needs some way to accommodate
the netfs API requirement on the single response to the whole
subrequest, while also minimizing disruptive changes to the NFS
pgio layer.

The approach taken with this patch is to allocate a small structure
for each nfs_netfs_issue_read() call, store the final error and number
of bytes successfully transferred in the structure, and update these values
as each RPC completes. The refcount on the structure is used as a marker
for the last RPC completion, is incremented in nfs_netfs_read_initiate(),
and decremented inside nfs_netfs_read_completion(), when a nfs_pgio_header
contains a valid pointer to the data. On the final put (which signals
the final outstanding RPC is complete) in nfs_netfs_read_completion(),
call netfs_subreq_terminated() with either the final error value (if
one or more READs complete with an error) or the number of bytes
successfully transferred (if all RPCs complete successfully). Note
that when all RPCs complete successfully, the number of bytes transferred
is capped to the length of the subrequest. Capping the transferred length
to the subrequest length prevents "Subreq overread" warnings from netfs.
This is due to the "aligned_len" in nfs_pageio_add_page(), and the
corner case where NFS requests a full page at the end of the file,
even when i_size reflects only a partial page (NFS overread).

pNFS: Add tracking to limit the number of pNFS retries

When the client is reading or writing using pNFS, and hits an error
on the DS, then it typically sends a LAYOUTERROR and/or LAYOUTRETURN
to the MDS, before redirtying the failed pages, and going for a new
round of reads/writebacks. The problem is that if the server has no
way to fix the DS, then we may need a way to interrupt this loop
after a set number of attempts have been made.
This patch adds an optional module parameter that allows the admin
to specify how many times to retry the read/writeback process before
failing with a fatal error.
The default behaviour is to retry forever.

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.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

- page_cache_get() -> get_page();

- page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

nfs: merge nfs_pgio_data into _header

struct nfs_pgio_data only exists as a member of nfs_pgio_header, but is
passed around everywhere, because there used to be multiple _data structs
per _header. Many of these functions then use the _data to find a pointer
to the _header. This patch cleans this up by merging the nfs_pgio_data
structure into nfs_pgio_header and passing nfs_pgio_header around instead.

nfs: page group syncing in write path

Operations that modify state for a whole page must be syncronized across
all requests within a page group. In the write path, this is calling
end_page_writeback and removing the head request from an inode.
Both of these operations should not be called until all requests
in a page group have reached the point where they would call them.

This patch should have no effect yet since all page groups currently
have one request, but will come into play when pg_test functions are
modified to split pages into sub-page regions.

# 2bfc6e56 15-May-2014 Weston Andros Adamson <dros@primarydata.com>

nfs: add support for multiple nfs reqs per page

Add "page groups" - a circular list of nfs requests (struct nfs_page)
that all reference the same page. This gives nfs read and write paths
the ability to account for sub-page regions independently. This
somewhat follows the design of struct buffer_head's sub-page
accounting.

Only "head" requests are ever added/removed from the inode list in
the buffered write path. "head" and "sub" requests are treated the
same through the read path and the rest of the write/commit path.
Requests are given an extra reference across the life of the list.

Page groups are never rejoined after being split. If the read/write
request fails and the client falls back to another path (ie revert
to MDS in PNFS case), the already split requests are pushed through
the recoalescing code again, which may split them further and then
coalesce them into properly sized requests on the wire. Fragmentation
shouldn't be a problem with the current design, because we flush all
requests in page group when a non-contiguous request is added, so
the only time resplitting should occur is on a resend of a read or
write.

This patch lays the groundwork for sub-page splitting, but does not
actually do any splitting. For now all page groups have one request
as pg_test functions don't yet split pages. There are several related
patches that are needed support multiple requests per page group.

NFS: Prevent a deadlock in the new writeback code

We have to unlock the nfs_page before we call nfs_end_page_writeback
to avoid races with functions that expect the page to be unlocked
when PG_locked and PG_writeback are not set.
The problem is that nfs_unlock_request also releases the nfs_page,
causing a deadlock if the release of the nfs_open_context
triggers an iput() while the PG_writeback flag is still set...

The solution is to separate the unlocking and release of the nfs_page,
so that we can do the former before nfs_end_page_writeback and the
latter after.

NFSv4.1: Clean ups and bugfixes for the pNFS read/writeback/commit code

Move more pnfs-isms out of the generic commit code.

Bugfixes:

- filelayout_scan_commit_lists doesn't need to get/put the lseg.
In fact since it is run under the inode->i_lock, the lseg_put()
can deadlock.

- Ensure that we distinguish between what needs to be done for
commit-to-data server and what needs to be done for commit-to-MDS
using the new flag PG_COMMIT_TO_DS. Otherwise we may end up calling
put_lseg() on a bucket for a struct nfs_page that got written
through the MDS.

- Fix a case where we were using list_del() on an nfs_page->wb_list
instead of list_del_init().

- filelayout_initiate_commit needs to call filelayout_commit_release
on error instead of the mds_ops->rpc_release(). Otherwise it won't
clear the commit lock.

Cleanups:

- Let the files layout manage the commit lists for the pNFS case.
Don't expose stuff like pnfs_choose_commit_list, and the fact
that the commit buckets hold references to the layout segment
in common code.

- Cast out the put_lseg() calls for the struct nfs_read/write_data->lseg
into the pNFS layer from whence they came.

- Let the pNFS layer manage the NFS_INO_PNFS_COMMIT bit.

NFSv4.1: add generic layer hooks for pnfs COMMIT

We create three major hooks for the pnfs code.

pnfs_mark_request_commit() is called during writeback_done from
nfs_mark_request_commit, which gives the driver an opportunity to
claim it wants control over commiting a particular req.

pnfs_choose_commit_list() is called from nfs_scan_list
to choose which list a given req should be added to, based on
where we intend to send it for COMMIT. It is up to the driver
to have preallocated list headers for each destination it may need.

pnfs_commit_list() is how the driver actually takes control, it is
used instead of nfs_commit_list().

In order to pass information between the above functions, we create
a union in nfs_page to hold a lseg (which is possible because the req is
not on any list while in transition), and add some flags to indicate
if we need to use the pnfs code.

nfs: remove extraneous and problematic calls to nfs_clear_request

When a nfs_page is freed, nfs_free_request is called which also calls
nfs_clear_request to clean out the lock and open contexts and free the
pagecache page.

However, a couple of places in the nfs code call nfs_clear_request
themselves. What happens here if the refcount on the request is still high?
We'll be releasing contexts and freeing pointers while the request is
possibly still in use.

Remove those bare calls to nfs_clear_context. That should only be done when
the request is being freed.

Note that when doing this, we need to watch out for tests of req->wb_page.
Previously, nfs_set_page_tag_locked() and nfs_clear_page_tag_locked()
would check the value of req->wb_page to figure out if the page is mapped
into the nfsi->nfs_page_tree. We now indicate the page is mapped using
the new bit PG_MAPPED in req->wb_flags .

NFS: Avoid a deadlock situation on write

When processes are allowed to attempt to lock a non-contiguous range of nfs
write requests, it is possible for generic_writepages to 'wrap round' the
address space, and call writepage() on a request that is already locked by
the same process.

We avoid the deadlock by checking if the page index is contiguous with the
list of nfs write requests that is already held in our
nfs_pageio_descriptor prior to attempting to lock a new request.

NFS: Fix a race when doing NFS write coalescing

Currently we do write coalescing in a very inefficient manner: one pass in
generic_writepages() in order to lock the pages for writing, then one pass
in nfs_flush_mapping() and/or nfs_sync_mapping_wait() in order to gather
the locked pages for coalescing into RPC requests of size "wsize".

In fact, it turns out there is actually a deadlock possible here since we
only start I/O on the second pass. If the user signals the process while
we're in nfs_sync_mapping_wait(), for instance, then we may exit before
starting I/O on all the requests that have been queued up.

NFS: Ensure PG_writeback is cleared when writeback fails

If the writebacks are cancelled via nfs_cancel_dirty_list, or due to the
memory allocation failing in nfs_flush_one/nfs_flush_multi, then we must
ensure that the PG_writeback flag is cleared.

Also ensure that we actually own the PG_writeback flag whenever we
schedule a new writeback by making nfs_set_page_writeback() return the
value of test_set_page_writeback().
The PG_writeback page flag ends up replacing the functionality of the
PG_FLUSHING nfs_page flag, so we rip that out too.

NFS: Add nfs_set_page_dirty()

We will want to allow nfs_writepage() to distinguish between pages that
have been marked as dirty by the VM, and those that have been marked as
dirty by nfs_updatepage().
In the former case, the entire page will want to be written out, and so any
requests that were pending need to be flushed out first.

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!
