[ Upstream commit 74cef6872ceaefb5b6c5c60641371ea28702d358 ]

In the afs dynamic root directory, the -&gt;lookup() function does a DNS check
on the cell being asked for and if the DNS upcall reports an error it will
report an error back to userspace (typically ENOENT).

However, if a failed DNS upcall returns a new-style result, it will return
a valid result, with the status field set appropriately to indicate the
type of failure - and in that case, dns_query() doesn't return an error and
we let stat() complete with no error - which can cause confusion in
userspace as subsequent calls that trigger d_automount then fail with
ENOENT.

Fix this by checking the status result from a valid dns_query() and
returning an error if it indicates a failure.

[ Upstream commit 2a4ca1b4b77850544408595e2433f5d7811a9daa ]

When kafs tries to look up a cell in the DNS or the local config, it will
translate a lookup failure into EDESTADDRREQ whereas OpenAFS translates it
into ENOENT.  Applications such as West expect the latter behaviour and
fail if they see the former.

This can be seen by trying to mount an unknown cell:

   # mount -t afs %example.com:cell.root /mnt
   mount: /mnt: mount(2) system call failed: Destination address required.

Add a tracepoint to log the cell refcount and active user count and pass in
a reason code through various functions that manipulate these counters.

Additionally, a helper function, afs_see_cell(), is provided to log
interesting places that deal with a cell without actually doing any

<id>urn:sha1:88c853c3f5c0a07c5db61b494ee25152535cfeee</id>
<content type='text'>
Management of the lifetime of afs_cell struct has some problems due to the
usage counter being used to determine whether objects of that type are in
use in addition to whether anyone might be interested in the structure.

This is made trickier by cell objects being cached for a period of time in
case they're quickly reused as they hold the result of a setup process that
may be slow (DNS lookups, AFS RPC ops).

Problems include the cached root volume from alias resolution pinning its
parent cell record, rmmod occasionally hanging and occasionally producing
assertion failures.

Fix this by splitting the count of active users from the struct reference
count.  Things then work as follows:

 (1) The cell cache keeps +1 on the cell's activity count and this has to
     be dropped before the cell can be removed.  afs_manage_cell() tries to
     exchange the 1 to a 0 with the cells_lock write-locked, and if
     successful, the record is removed from the net-&gt;cells.

 (2) One struct ref is 'owned' by the activity count.  That is put when the
     active count is reduced to 0 (final_destruction label).

 (3) A ref can be held on a cell whilst it is queued for management on a
     work queue without confusing the active count.  afs_queue_cell() is
     added to wrap this.

 (4) The queue's ref is dropped at the end of the management.  This is
     split out into a separate function, afs_manage_cell_work().

 (5) The root volume record is put after a cell is removed (at the
     final_destruction label) rather then in the RCU destruction routine.

 (6) Volumes hold struct refs, but aren't active users.

 (7) Both counts are displayed in /proc/net/afs/cells.

There are some management function changes:

 (*) afs_put_cell() now just decrements the refcount and triggers the RCU
     destruction if it becomes 0.  It no longer sets a timer to have the
     manager do this.

 (*) afs_use_cell() and afs_unuse_cell() are added to increase and decrease
     the active count.  afs_unuse_cell() sets the management timer.

 (*) afs_queue_cell() is added to queue a cell with approprate refs.

There are also some other fixes:

 (*) Don't let /proc/net/afs/cells access a cell's vllist if it's NULL.

 (*) Make sure that candidate cells in lookups are properly destroyed
     rather than being simply kfree'd.  This ensures the bits it points to
     are destroyed also.

 (*) afs_dec_cells_outstanding() is now called in cell destruction rather
     than at "final_destruction".  This ensures that cell-&gt;net is still
     valid to the end of the destructor.

 (*) As a consequence of the previous two changes, move the increment of
     net-&gt;cells_outstanding that was at the point of insertion into the
     tree to the allocation routine to correctly balance things.

<id>urn:sha1:92e3cc91d8f51ce64a8b7c696377180953dd316e</id>
<content type='text'>
There are a number of problems that are being seen by the rapidly mounting
and unmounting an afs dynamic root with an explicit cell and volume
specified (which should probably be rejected, but that's a separate issue):

What the tests are doing is to look up/create a cell record for the name
given and then tear it down again without actually using it to try to talk
to a server.  This is repeated endlessly, very fast, and the new cell
collides with the old one if it's not quick enough to reuse it.

It appears (as suggested by Hillf Danton) that the search through the RB
tree under a read_seqbegin_or_lock() under RCU conditions isn't safe and
that it's not blocking the write_seqlock(), despite taking two passes at
it.  He suggested that the code should take a ref on the cell it's
attempting to look at - but this shouldn't be necessary until we've
compared the cell names.  It's possible that I'm missing a barrier
somewhere.

However, using an RCU search for this is overkill, really - we only need to
access the cell name in a few places, and they're places where we're may
end up sleeping anyway.

Fix this by switching to an R/W semaphore instead.

Additionally, draw the down_read() call inside the function (renamed to
afs_find_cell()) since all the callers were taking the RCU read lock (or
should've been[*]).

[*] afs_probe_cell_name() should have been, but that doesn't appear to be
involved in the bug reports.

The symptoms of this look like:

	general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xf27d208691691fdb: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN

<content type='text'>
If an error occurs during the construction of an afs superblock, it's
possible that an error occurs after a superblock is created, but before
we've created the root dentry.  If the superblock has a dynamic root
(ie.  what's normally mounted on /afs), the afs_kill_super() will call
afs_dynroot_depopulate() to unpin any created dentries - but this will
oops if the root hasn't been created yet.

Fix this by skipping that bit of code if there is no root dentry.

This leads to an oops looking like:

	general protection fault, ...
	KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000068-0x000000000000006f]

which is oopsing on this line:

presumably because sb-&gt;s_root was NULL.

<title>afs: Build an abstraction around an "operation" concept</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e49c7b2f6de7ff81ca34c56e4eeb4fa740c099f2</id>
<content type='text'>
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-&gt;vnode-&gt;volume are made
     op-&gt;volume instead.

 (3) Two vnode records are defined (op-&gt;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.

rather than failing with some odd error (such as EEXIST).

lookup() itself tries to create automount directories when it is invoked.
These are cached locally in RAM and not committed to storage.
