commit 3f649ab728cda8038259d8f14492fe400fbab911 upstream.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

<id>urn:sha1:8a867608b2ec5446b3665df535c2a6ce1447bf98</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 17eabd42560f4636648ad65ba5b20228071e2363 ]

In AFS, a directory is handled as a file that the client downloads and
parses locally for the purposes of performing lookup and getdents
operations.  The in-kernel afs filesystem has a number of functions that
do this.

A directory file is arranged as a series of 2K blocks divided into
32-byte slots, where a directory entry occupies one or more slots, plus
each block starts with one or more metadata blocks.

When parsing a block, if the last slots are occupied by a dirent that
occupies more than a single slot and the file position points at a slot
that's not the initial one, the logic in afs_dir_iterate_block() that
skips over it won't advance the file pointer to the end of it.  This
will cause an infinite loop in getdents() as it will keep retrying that
block and failing to advance beyond the final entry.

Fix this by advancing the file pointer if the next entry will be beyond
it when we skip a block.

This was found by the generic/676 xfstest but can also be triggered with
something like:

	~/xfstests-dev/src/t_readdir_3 /xfstest.test/z 4000 1

[ Upstream commit 5dc84855b0fc7e1db182b55c5564fd539d6eff92 ]

In the in-kernel afs filesystem, d_fsdata is set with the data version of
the parent directory.  afs_d_revalidate() will update this to the current
directory version, but it shouldn't do this if it the value it read from
d_fsdata is the same as no lock is held and cmpxchg() is not used.

Fix the code to only change the value if it is different from the current
directory version.

-&gt;lookup() methods can (and should) use d_splice_alias() instead of
d_add().  Even if they are not going to be hit by open_by_handle(),
code does get copied around; besides, d_splice_alias() has better
calling conventions for use in -&gt;lookup(), so the code gets simpler.

<content type='text'>
It's possible for an AFS file server to issue a whole-volume notification
that callbacks on all the vnodes in the file have been broken.  This is
done for R/O and backup volumes (which don't have per-file callbacks) and
for things like a volume being taken offline.

Fix callback handling to detect whole-volume notifications, to track it
across operations and to check it during inode validation.

<title>afs: Fix directory page locking</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=b61f7dcf4eb2653e870c9079b02d11a0834cfe39'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b61f7dcf4eb2653e870c9079b02d11a0834cfe39</id>
<content type='text'>
The afs directory loading code (primarily afs_read_dir()) locks all the
pages that hold a directory's content blob to defend against
getdents/getdents races and getdents/lookup races where the competitors
issue conflicting reads on the same data.  As the reads will complete
consecutively, they may retrieve different versions of the data and
one may overwrite the data that the other is busy parsing.

Fix this by not locking the pages at all, but rather by turning the
validation lock into an rwsem and getting an exclusive lock on it whilst
reading the data or validating the attributes and a shared lock whilst
parsing the data.  Sharing the attribute validation lock should be fine as
the data fetch will retrieve the attributes also.

The individual page locks aren't needed at all as the only place they're
being used is to serialise data loading.

Without this patch, the:

 	if (!test_bit(AFS_VNODE_DIR_VALID, &amp;dvnode-&gt;flags)) {
		...
	}

part of afs_read_dir() may be skipped, leaving the pages unlocked when we
hit the success: clause - in which case we try to unlock the not-locked
pages, leading to the following oops:

<title>afs: Do better accretion of small writes on newly created content</title>
<updated>2018-04-09T20:54:48Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=5a8132761609bd7e42db642d6f157140d5bf2ae8'/>
<id>urn:sha1:5a8132761609bd7e42db642d6f157140d5bf2ae8</id>
<content type='text'>
Processes like ld that do lots of small writes that aren't necessarily
contiguous result in a lot of small StoreData operations to the server, the
idea being that if someone else changes the data on the server, we only
write our changes over that and not the space between.  Further, we don't
want to write back empty space if we can avoid it to make it easier for the
server to do sparse files.

However, making lots of tiny RPC ops is a lot less efficient for the server
than one big one because each op requires allocation of resources and the
taking of locks, so we want to compromise a bit.

Reduce the load by the following:

 (1) If a file is just created locally or has just been truncated with
     O_TRUNC locally, allow subsequent writes to the file to be merged with
     intervening space if that space doesn't cross an entire intervening
     page.

 (2) Don't flush the file on -&gt;flush() but rather on -&gt;release() if the
     file was open for writing.

Just linking vmlinux.o, without this patch, looking in /proc/fs/afs/stats:

	file-wr : n=441 nb=513581204

and after the patch:

	file-wr : n=62 nb=513668555

there were 379 fewer StoreData RPC operations at the expense of an extra
87K being written.

<content type='text'>
Locally edit the contents of an AFS directory upon a successful inode
operation that modifies that directory (such as mkdir, create and unlink)
so that we can avoid the current practice of re-downloading the directory
after each change.

This is viable provided that the directory version number we get back from
the modifying RPC op is exactly incremented by 1 from what we had
previously.  The data in the directory contents is in a defined format that
we have to parse locally to perform lookups and readdir, so modifying isn't
a problem.

If the edit fails, we just clear the VALID flag on the directory and it
will be reloaded next time it is needed.

Adjust the AFS directory XDR structures in a number of superficial ways:

 (1) Rename them to all begin afs_xdr_.

 (2) Use u8 instead of uint8_t.

 (3) Mark the structures as __packed so they don't get rearranged by the
     compiler.

 (4) Rename the hdr member of afs_xdr_dir_block to meta.

 (5) Rename the pagehdr member of afs_xdr_dir_block to hdr.
