[ Upstream commit a74ee0e878e262c0276966528d72d4e887174410 ]

At the end of an kAFS RPC operation, there is an "edit" phase (originally
intended for post-directory modification ops to edit the local image) that
the setattr VFS op uses to fix up the pagecache if the RPC that requested
truncation of a file was successful.

afs_setattr_edit_file() calls truncate_setsize() which sets i_size, expands
the pagecache if needed and truncates the pagecache.  The first two of
those, however, are redundant as they've already been done by
afs_setattr_success() under the io_lock and the first is also done under
the callback lock (cb_lock).

Fix afs_setattr_edit_file() to call truncate_pagecache() instead (which is
called by truncate_setsize(), thereby skipping the redundant parts.

Fixes: 100ccd18bb41 ("netfs: Optimise away reads above the point at which there can be no data")

<title>netfs, 9p: Fix race between umount and async request completion</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=f89ea63f1c65d3e93b255f14f9d9e05df87955fa'/>
<id>urn:sha1:f89ea63f1c65d3e93b255f14f9d9e05df87955fa</id>
<content type='text'>
There's a problem in 9p's interaction with netfslib whereby a crash occurs
because the 9p_fid structs get forcibly destroyed during client teardown
(without paying attention to their refcounts) before netfslib has finished
with them.  However, it's not a simple case of deferring the clunking that
p9_fid_put() does as that requires the p9_client record to still be
present.

The problem is that netfslib has to unlock pages and clear the IN_PROGRESS
flag before destroying the objects involved - including the fid - and, in
any case, nothing checks to see if writeback completed barring looking at
the page flags.

Fix this by keeping a count of outstanding I/O requests (of any type) and
waiting for it to quiesce during inode eviction.

Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This extends the netfs helper library that network filesystems can use
  to replace their own implementations. Both afs and 9p are ported. cifs
  is ready as well but the patches are way bigger and will be routed
  separately once this is merged. That will remove lots of code as well.

  The overal goal is to get high-level I/O and knowledge of the page
  cache and ouf of the filesystem drivers. This includes knowledge about
  the existence of pages and folios

  The pull request converts afs and 9p. This removes about 800 lines of
  code from afs and 300 from 9p. For 9p it is now possible to do writes
  in larger than a page chunks. Additionally, multipage folio support
  can be turned on for 9p. Separate patches exist for cifs removing
  another 2000+ lines. I've included detailed information in the
  individual pulls I took.

  Summary:

   - Add NFS-style (and Ceph-style) locking around DIO vs buffered I/O
     calls to prevent these from happening at the same time.

   - Support for direct and unbuffered I/O.

   - Support for write-through caching in the page cache.

   - O_*SYNC and RWF_*SYNC writes use write-through rather than writing
     to the page cache and then flushing afterwards.

   - Support for write-streaming.

   - Support for write grouping.

   - Skip reads for which the server could only return zeros or EOF.

   - The fscache module is now part of the netfs library and the
     corresponding maintainer entry is updated.

   - Some helpers from the fscache subsystem are renamed to mark them as
     belonging to the netfs library.

   - Follow-up fixes for the netfs library.

   - Follow-up fixes for the 9p conversion"

<title>afs: Overhaul invalidation handling to better support RO volumes</title>
<updated>2024-01-01T16:37:27Z</updated>
<author>
<name>David Howells</name>
</author>
<published>2023-11-08T13:57:42Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=453924de6212ac159f946b75c6b59918e2e30944'/>
<id>urn:sha1:453924de6212ac159f946b75c6b59918e2e30944</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>afs: Parse the VolSync record in the reply of a number of RPC ops</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=16069e1349a0c5535e189f9dc5d937bfd7631a06'/>
<id>urn:sha1:16069e1349a0c5535e189f9dc5d937bfd7631a06</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>netfs: Optimise away reads above the point at which there can be no data</title>

<id>urn:sha1:100ccd18bb41ea7abb4fbb419202c06079559501</id>
<content type='text'>
Track the file position above which the server is not expected to have any
data (the "zero point") and preemptively assume that we can satisfy
requests by filling them with zeroes locally rather than attempting to
download them if they're over that line - even if we've written data back
to the server.  Assume that any data that was written back above that
position is held in the local cache.  Note that we have to split requests
that straddle the line.

Make use of this to optimise away some reads from the server.  We need to
set the zero point in the following circumstances:

 (1) When we see an extant remote inode and have no cache for it, we set
     the zero_point to i_size.

 (2) On local inode creation, we set zero_point to 0.

 (3) On local truncation down, we reduce zero_point to the new i_size if
     the new i_size is lower.

 (4) On local truncation up, we don't change zero_point.

 (5) On local modification, we don't change zero_point.

 (6) On remote invalidation, we set zero_point to the new i_size.

 (7) If stored data is discarded from the pagecache or culled from fscache,
     we must set zero_point above that if the data also got written to the
     server.

 (8) If dirty data is written back to the server, but not fscache, we must
     set zero_point above that.

 (9) If a direct I/O write is made, set zero_point above that.

Assuming the above, any read from the server at or above the zero_point
position will return all zeroes.

The zero_point value can be stored in the cache, provided the above rules
are applied to it by any code that culls part of the local cache.

Implement support for unbuffered writes and direct I/O writes.  If the
write is misaligned with respect to the fscrypt block size, then RMW cycles
are performed if necessary.  DIO writes are a special case of unbuffered
writes with extra restriction imposed, such as block size alignment
requirements.

Also provide a field that can tell the code to add some extra space onto
the bounce buffer for use by the filesystem in the case of a
content-encrypted file.

Wrap most op-&gt;error accesses with inline funcs which will make it easier
for a subsequent patch to replace op-&gt;error with something else.  Two
functions are added to this end:

 (1) afs_op_error() - Get the error code.

 (2) afs_op_set_error() - Set the error code.
