[ Upstream commit a9e5c87ca7443d09fb530fffa4d96ce1c76dbe4d ]

When doing a lookup in a directory, the afs filesystem uses a bulk
status fetch to speculatively retrieve the statuses of up to 48 other
vnodes found in the same directory and it will then either update extant
inodes or create new ones - effectively doing 'lookup ahead'.

To avoid the possibility of deadlocking itself, however, the filesystem
doesn't lock all of those inodes; rather just the directory inode is
locked (by the VFS).

When the operation completes, afs_inode_init_from_status() or
afs_apply_status() is called, depending on whether the inode already
exists, to commit the new status.

A case exists, however, where the speculative status fetch operation may
straddle a modification operation on one of those vnodes.  What can then
happen is that the speculative bulk status RPC retrieves the old status,
and whilst that is happening, the modification happens - which returns
an updated status, then the modification status is committed, then we
attempt to commit the speculative status.

This results in something like the following being seen in dmesg:

	kAFS: vnode modified {100058:861} 8-&gt;9 YFS.InlineBulkStatus

showing that for vnode 861 on volume 100058, we saw YFS.InlineBulkStatus
say that the vnode had data version 8 when we'd already recorded version
9 due to a local modification.  This was causing the cache to be
invalidated for that vnode when it shouldn't have been.  If it happens
on a data file, this might lead to local changes being lost.

Fix this by ignoring speculative status updates if the data version
doesn't match the expected value.

Note that it is possible to get a DV regression if a volume gets
restored from a backup - but we should get a callback break in such a
case that should trigger a recheck anyway.  It might be worth checking
the volume creation time in the volsync info and, if a change is
observed in that (as would happen on a restore), invalidate all caches
associated with the volume.

[ Upstream commit fa04a40b169fcee615afbae97f71a09332993f64 ]

Fix afs to take a ref on a page when it sets PG_private on it and to drop
the ref when removing the flag.

Note that in afs_write_begin(), a lot of the time, PG_private is already
set on a page to which we're going to add some data.  In such a case, we
leave the bit set and mustn't increment the page count.

As suggested by Matthew Wilcox, use attach/detach_page_private() where
possible.

<id>urn:sha1:3f649ab728cda8038259d8f14492fe400fbab911</id>

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.

<title>afs: Fix afs_do_lookup() to call correct fetch-status op variant</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f8ea5c7bceeb6ce6e7b3e7fb28c9dda8c0a58dcb</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix afs_do_lookup()'s fallback case for when FS.InlineBulkStatus isn't
supported by the server.

In the fallback, it calls FS.FetchStatus for the specific vnode it's
meant to be looking up.  Commit b6489a49f7b7 broke this by renaming one
of the two identically-named afs_fetch_status_operation descriptors to
something else so that one of them could be made non-static.  The site
that used the renamed one, however, wasn't renamed and didn't produce
any warning because the other was declared in a header.

Fix this by making afs_do_lookup() use the renamed variant.

Note that there are two variants of the success method because one is
called from -&gt;lookup() where we may or may not have an inode, but can't
call iget until after we've talked to the server - whereas the other is
called from within iget where we have an inode, but it may or may not be
initialised.

The latter variant expects there to be an inode, but because it's being
called from there former case, there might not be - resulting in an oops
like the following:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000b0

<id>urn:sha1:b6489a49f7b71964e37978d6f89bbdbdb263f6f5</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix AFS's silly rename by the following means:

 (1) Set the destination directory in afs_do_silly_rename() so as to avoid
     misbehaviour and indicate that the directory data version will
     increment by 1 so as to avoid warnings about unexpected changes in the
     DV.  Also indicate that the ctime should be updated to avoid xfstest
     grumbling.

 (2) Note when the server indicates that a directory changed more than we
     expected (AFS_OPERATION_DIR_CONFLICT), indicating a conflict with a
     third party change, checking on successful completion of unlink and
     rename.

     The problem is that the FS.RemoveFile RPC op doesn't report the status
     of the unlinked file, though YFS.RemoveFile2 does.  This can be
     mitigated by the assumption that if the directory DV cranked by
     exactly 1, we can be sure we removed one link from the file; further,
     ordinarily in AFS, files cannot be hardlinked across directories, so
     if we reduce nlink to 0, the file is deleted.

     However, if the directory DV jumps by more than 1, we cannot know if a
     third party intervened by adding or removing a link on the file we
     just removed a link from.

     The same also goes for any vnode that is at the destination of the
     FS.Rename RPC op.

 (3) Make afs_vnode_commit_status() apply the nlink drop inside the cb_lock
     section along with the other attribute updates if -&gt;op_unlinked is set
     on the descriptor for the appropriate vnode.

 (4) Issue a follow up status fetch to the unlinked file in the event of a
     third party conflict that makes it impossible for us to know if we
     actually deleted the file or not.

 (5) Provide a flag, AFS_VNODE_SILLY_DELETED, to make afs_getattr() lie to
     the user about the nlink of a silly deleted file so that it appears as
     0, not 1.

Found with the generic/035 and generic/084 xfstests.

afs_check_for_remote_deletion() checks to see if error ENOENT is returned
by the server in response to an operation and, if so, marks the primary
vnode as having been deleted as the FID is no longer valid.

However, it's being called from the operation success functions, where no
abort has happened - and if an inline abort is recorded, it's handled by
afs_vnode_commit_status().

Fix this by actually calling the operation aborted method if provided and
having that point to afs_check_for_remote_deletion().

The in-kernel afs filesystem ignores ctime because the AFS fileserver
protocol doesn't support ctimes.  This, however, causes various xfstests to
fail.

Work around this by:

 (1) Setting ctime to attr-&gt;ia_ctime in afs_setattr().

 (2) Not ignoring ATTR_MTIME_SET, ATTR_TIMES_SET and ATTR_TOUCH settings.

 (3) Setting the ctime from the server mtime when on the target file when
     creating a hard link to it.

 (4) Setting the ctime on directories from their revised mtimes when
     renaming/moving a file.

Found by the generic/221 and generic/309 xfstests.

<content type='text'>
Reorganise afs_volume objects such that they're in a tree keyed on volume
ID, rooted at on an afs_cell object rather than being in multiple trees,
each of which is rooted on an afs_server object.

afs_server structs become per-cell and acquire a pointer to the cell.

The process of breaking a callback then starts with finding the server by
its network address, following that to the cell and then looking up each
volume ID in the volume tree.

This is simpler than the afs_vol_interest/afs_cb_interest N:M mapping web
and allows those structs and the code for maintaining them to be simplified
or removed.

It does make a couple of things a bit more tricky, though:

 (1) Operations now start with a volume, not a server, so there can be more
     than one answer as to whether or not the server we'll end up using
     supports the FS.InlineBulkStatus RPC.

 (2) CB RPC operations that specify the server UUID.  There's still a tree
     of servers by UUID on the afs_net struct, but the UUIDs in it aren't
     guaranteed unique.
