[ Upstream commit b49194da2aff2c879dec9c59ef8dec0f2b0809ef ]

AFS servers pass back a code indicating EEXIST when they're asked to remove
a directory that is not empty rather than ENOTEMPTY because not all the
systems that an AFS server can run on have the latter error available and
AFS preexisted the addition of that error in general.

Fix afs_rmdir() to translate EEXIST to ENOTEMPTY.

This reverts commit 57e9d49c54528c49b8bffe6d99d782ea051ea534.

This undoes the hiding of .__afsXXXX silly-rename files.  The problem with
hiding them is that rm can't then manually delete them.

This also reverts commit 5f7a07646655fb4108da527565dcdc80124b14c4 ("afs: Fix
endless loop in directory parsing") as that's a bugfix for the above.

[ Upstream commit 5f7a07646655fb4108da527565dcdc80124b14c4 ]

If a directory has a block with only ".__afsXXXX" files in it (from
uncompleted silly-rename), these .__afsXXXX files are skipped but without
advancing the file position in the dir_context.  This leads to
afs_dir_iterate() repeating the block again and again.

Fix this by making the code that skips the .__afsXXXX file also manually
advance the file position.

The symptoms are a soft lookup:

There appears to be a race between silly-rename files being created/removed
and various userspace tools iterating over the contents of a directory,
leading to such errors as:

	find: './kernel/.tmp_cpio_dir/include/dt-bindings/reset/.__afs2080': No such file or directory
	tar: ./include/linux/greybus/.__afs3C95: File removed before we read it

when building a kernel.

Fix afs_readdir() so that it doesn't return .__afsXXXX silly-rename files
to userspace.  This doesn't stop them being looked up directly by name as
we need to be able to look them up from within the kernel as part of the
silly-rename algorithm.

[ Upstream commit a27648c742104a833a01c54becc24429898d85bf ]

kafs incorrectly passes a zero mtime (ie. 1st Jan 1970) to the server when
creating a file, dir or symlink because the mtime recorded in the
afs_operation struct gets passed to the server by the marshalling routines,
but the afs_mkdir(), afs_create() and afs_symlink() functions don't set it.

This gets masked if a file or directory is subsequently modified.

Fix this by filling in op-&gt;mtime before calling the create op.

[ 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

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 63d49d843ef5fffeea069e0ffdfbd2bf40ba01c6 ]

The AFS filesystem is currently triggering the silly-rename cleanup from
afs_d_revalidate() when it sees that a dentry has been changed by a third
party[1].  It should not be doing this as the cleanup includes deleting the
silly-rename target file on iput.

Fix this by removing the places in the d_revalidate handling that validate
anything other than the directory and the dirent.  It probably should not
be looking to validate the target inode of the dentry also.

This includes removing the point in afs_d_revalidate() where the inode that
a dentry used to point to was marked as being deleted (AFS_VNODE_DELETED).
We don't know it got deleted.  It could have been renamed or it could have
hard links remaining.

This was reproduced by cloning a git repo onto an afs volume on one
machine, switching to another machine and doing "git status", then
switching back to the first and doing "git status".  The second status
would show weird output due to ".git/index" getting deleted by the above
mentioned mechanism.

A simpler way to do it is to do:

	machine 1: touch a
	machine 2: touch b; mv -f b a
	machine 1: stat a

on an afs volume.  The bug shows up as the stat failing with ENOENT and the
file server log showing that machine 1 deleted "a".

[ Upstream commit 22650f148126571be1098d34160eb4931fc77241 ]

The generic/464 xfstest causes kAFS to emit occasional warnings of the
form:

        kAFS: vnode modified {100055:8a} 30-&gt;31 YFS.StoreData64 (c=6015)

This indicates that the data version received back from the server did not
match the expected value (the DV should be incremented monotonically for
each individual modification op committed to a vnode).

What is happening is that a lookup call is doing a bulk status fetch
speculatively on a bunch of vnodes in a directory besides getting the
status of the vnode it's actually interested in.  This is racing with a
StoreData operation (though it could also occur with, say, a MakeDir op).

On the client, a modification operation locks the vnode, but the bulk
status fetch only locks the parent directory, so no ordering is imposed
there (thereby avoiding an avenue to deadlock).

On the server, the StoreData op handler doesn't lock the vnode until it's
received all the request data, and downgrades the lock after committing the
data until it has finished sending change notifications to other clients -
which allows the status fetch to occur before it has finished.

This means that:

 - a status fetch can access the target vnode either side of the exclusive
   section of the modification

 - the status fetch could start before the modification, yet finish after,
   and vice-versa.

 - the status fetch and the modification RPCs can complete in either order.

 - the status fetch can return either the before or the after DV from the
   modification.

 - the status fetch might regress the locally cached DV.

Some of these are handled by the previous fix[1], but that's not sufficient
because it checks the DV it received against the DV it cached at the start
of the op, but the DV might've been updated in the meantime by a locally
generated modification op.

Fix this by the following means:

 (1) Keep track of when we're performing a modification operation on a
     vnode.  This is done by marking vnode parameters with a 'modification'
     note that causes the AFS_VNODE_MODIFYING flag to be set on the vnode
     for the duration.

 (2) Alter the speculation race detection to ignore speculative status
     fetches if either the vnode is marked as being modified or the data
     version number is not what we expected.

Note that whilst the "vnode modified" warning does get recovered from as it
causes the client to refetch the status at the next opportunity, it will
also invalidate the pagecache, so changes might get lost.

<content type='text'>
commit a7889c6320b9200e3fe415238f546db677310fa9 upstream.

afs_listxattr() lists all the available special afs xattrs (i.e. those in
the "afs.*" space), no matter what type of server we're dealing with.  But
OpenAFS servers, for example, cannot deal with some of the extra-capable
attributes that AuriStor (YFS) servers provide.  Unfortunately, the
presence of the afs.yfs.* attributes causes errors[1] for anything that
tries to read them if the server is of the wrong type.

Fix the problem by removing afs_listxattr() so that none of the special
xattrs are listed (AFS doesn't support xattrs).  It does mean, however,
that getfattr won't list them, though they can still be accessed with
getxattr() and setxattr().

This can be tested with something like:

	getfattr -d -m ".*" /afs/example.com/path/to/file

With this change, none of the afs.* attributes should be visible.

Changes:
ver #2:
 - Hide all of the afs.* xattrs, not just the ACL ones.
