| H A D | yfsclient.c | diff e49c7b2f Fri Apr 10 13:51:51 MDT 2020 David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> 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 done asynchronously also.

Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> diff d2ddc776 Thu Nov 02 09:27:50 MDT 2017 David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> afs: Overhaul volume and server record caching and fileserver rotation The current code assumes that volumes and servers are per-cell and are never shared, but this is not enforced, and, indeed, public cells do exist that are aliases of each other. Further, an organisation can, say, set up a public cell and a private cell with overlapping, but not identical, sets of servers. The difference is purely in the database attached to the VL servers. The current code will malfunction if it sees a server in two cells as it assumes global address -> server record mappings and that each server is in just one cell. Further, each server may have multiple addresses - and may have addresses of different families (IPv4 and IPv6, say). To this end, the following structural changes are made: (1) Server record management is overhauled: (a) Server records are made independent of cell. The namespace keeps track of them, volume records have lists of them and each vnode has a server on which its callback interest currently resides. (b) The cell record no longer keeps a list of servers known to be in that cell. (c) The server records are now kept in a flat list because there's no single address to sort on. (d) Server records are now keyed by their UUID within the namespace. (e) The addresses for a server are obtained with the VL.GetAddrsU rather than with VL.GetEntryByName, using the server's UUID as a parameter. (f) Cached server records are garbage collected after a period of non-use and are counted out of existence before purging is allowed to complete. This protects the work functions against rmmod. (g) The servers list is now in /proc/fs/afs/servers. (2) Volume record management is overhauled: (a) An RCU-replaceable server list is introduced. This tracks both servers and their coresponding callback interests. (b) The superblock is now keyed on cell record and numeric volume ID. (c) The volume record is now tied to the superblock which mounts it, and is activated when mounted and deactivated when unmounted. This makes it easier to handle the cache cookie without causing a double-use in fscache. (d) The volume record is loaded from the VLDB using VL.GetEntryByNameU to get the server UUID list. (e) The volume name is updated if it is seen to have changed when the volume is updated (the update is keyed on the volume ID). (3) The vlocation record is got rid of and VLDB records are no longer cached. Sufficient information is stored in the volume record, though an update to a volume record is now no longer shared between related volumes (volumes come in bundles of three: R/W, R/O and backup). and the following procedural changes are made: (1) The fileserver cursor introduced previously is now fleshed out and used to iterate over fileservers and their addresses. (2) Volume status is checked during iteration, and the server list is replaced if a change is detected. (3) Server status is checked during iteration, and the address list is replaced if a change is detected. (4) The abort code is saved into the address list cursor and -ECONNABORTED returned in afs_make_call() if a remote abort happened rather than translating the abort into an error message. This allows actions to be taken depending on the abort code more easily. (a) If a VMOVED abort is seen then this is handled by rechecking the volume and restarting the iteration. (b) If a VBUSY, VRESTARTING or VSALVAGING abort is seen then this is handled by sleeping for a short period and retrying and/or trying other servers that might serve that volume. A message is also displayed once until the condition has cleared. (c) If a VOFFLINE abort is seen, then this is handled as VBUSY for the moment. (d) If a VNOVOL abort is seen, the volume is rechecked in the VLDB to see if it has been deleted; if not, the fileserver is probably indicating that the volume couldn't be attached and needs salvaging. (e) If statfs() sees one of these aborts, it does not sleep, but rather returns an error, so as not to block the umount program. (5) The fileserver iteration functions in vnode.c are now merged into their callers and more heavily macroised around the cursor. vnode.c is removed. (6) Operations on a particular vnode are serialised on that vnode because the server will lock that vnode whilst it operates on it, so a second op sent will just have to wait. (7) Fileservers are probed with FS.GetCapabilities before being used. This is where service upgrade will be done. (8) A callback interest on a fileserver is set up before an FS operation is performed and passed through to afs_make_call() so that it can be set on the vnode if the operation returns a callback. The callback interest is passed through to afs_iget() also so that it can be set there too. In general, record updating is done on an as-needed basis when we try to access servers, volumes or vnodes rather than offloading it to work items and special threads. Notes: (1) Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can be added back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998). (2) VBUSY is retried forever for the moment at intervals of 1s. (3) /proc/fs/afs/<cell>/servers no longer exists. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> |

Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> diff d2ddc776 Thu Nov 02 09:27:50 MDT 2017 David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> afs: Overhaul volume and server record caching and fileserver rotation The current code assumes that volumes and servers are per-cell and are never shared, but this is not enforced, and, indeed, public cells do exist that are aliases of each other. Further, an organisation can, say, set up a public cell and a private cell with overlapping, but not identical, sets of servers. The difference is purely in the database attached to the VL servers. The current code will malfunction if it sees a server in two cells as it assumes global address -> server record mappings and that each server is in just one cell. Further, each server may have multiple addresses - and may have addresses of different families (IPv4 and IPv6, say). To this end, the following structural changes are made: (1) Server record management is overhauled: (a) Server records are made independent of cell. The namespace keeps track of them, volume records have lists of them and each vnode has a server on which its callback interest currently resides. (b) The cell record no longer keeps a list of servers known to be in that cell. (c) The server records are now kept in a flat list because there's no single address to sort on. (d) Server records are now keyed by their UUID within the namespace. (e) The addresses for a server are obtained with the VL.GetAddrsU rather than with VL.GetEntryByName, using the server's UUID as a parameter. (f) Cached server records are garbage collected after a period of non-use and are counted out of existence before purging is allowed to complete. This protects the work functions against rmmod. (g) The servers list is now in /proc/fs/afs/servers. (2) Volume record management is overhauled: (a) An RCU-replaceable server list is introduced. This tracks both servers and their coresponding callback interests. (b) The superblock is now keyed on cell record and numeric volume ID. (c) The volume record is now tied to the superblock which mounts it, and is activated when mounted and deactivated when unmounted. This makes it easier to handle the cache cookie without causing a double-use in fscache. (d) The volume record is loaded from the VLDB using VL.GetEntryByNameU to get the server UUID list. (e) The volume name is updated if it is seen to have changed when the volume is updated (the update is keyed on the volume ID). (3) The vlocation record is got rid of and VLDB records are no longer cached. Sufficient information is stored in the volume record, though an update to a volume record is now no longer shared between related volumes (volumes come in bundles of three: R/W, R/O and backup). and the following procedural changes are made: (1) The fileserver cursor introduced previously is now fleshed out and used to iterate over fileservers and their addresses. (2) Volume status is checked during iteration, and the server list is replaced if a change is detected. (3) Server status is checked during iteration, and the address list is replaced if a change is detected. (4) The abort code is saved into the address list cursor and -ECONNABORTED returned in afs_make_call() if a remote abort happened rather than translating the abort into an error message. This allows actions to be taken depending on the abort code more easily. (a) If a VMOVED abort is seen then this is handled by rechecking the volume and restarting the iteration. (b) If a VBUSY, VRESTARTING or VSALVAGING abort is seen then this is handled by sleeping for a short period and retrying and/or trying other servers that might serve that volume. A message is also displayed once until the condition has cleared. (c) If a VOFFLINE abort is seen, then this is handled as VBUSY for the moment. (d) If a VNOVOL abort is seen, the volume is rechecked in the VLDB to see if it has been deleted; if not, the fileserver is probably indicating that the volume couldn't be attached and needs salvaging. (e) If statfs() sees one of these aborts, it does not sleep, but rather returns an error, so as not to block the umount program. (5) The fileserver iteration functions in vnode.c are now merged into their callers and more heavily macroised around the cursor. vnode.c is removed. (6) Operations on a particular vnode are serialised on that vnode because the server will lock that vnode whilst it operates on it, so a second op sent will just have to wait. (7) Fileservers are probed with FS.GetCapabilities before being used. This is where service upgrade will be done. (8) A callback interest on a fileserver is set up before an FS operation is performed and passed through to afs_make_call() so that it can be set on the vnode if the operation returns a callback. The callback interest is passed through to afs_iget() also so that it can be set there too. In general, record updating is done on an as-needed basis when we try to access servers, volumes or vnodes rather than offloading it to work items and special threads. Notes: (1) Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can be added back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998). (2) VBUSY is retried forever for the moment at intervals of 1s. (3) /proc/fs/afs/<cell>/servers no longer exists. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> |
