afs: fix __afs_break_callback() / afs_drop_open_mmap() race

2024-02-25T07:10:31+00:00

In __afs_break_callback() we might check ->cb_nr_mmap and if it's non-zero do queue_work(&vnode->cb_work). In afs_drop_open_mmap() we decrement ->cb_nr_mmap and do flush_work(&vnode->cb_work) if it reaches zero. The trouble is, there's nothing to prevent __afs_break_callback() from seeing ->cb_nr_mmap before the decrement and do queue_work() after both the decrement and flush_work(). If that happens, we might be in trouble - vnode might get freed before the queued work runs. __afs_break_callback() is always done under ->cb_lock, so let's make sure that ->cb_nr_mmap can change from non-zero to zero while holding ->cb_lock (the spinlock component of it - it's a seqlock and we don't need to mess with the counter).

Merge tag 'vfs-6.8.netfs' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

2024-01-19T17:10:23+00:00

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" * tag 'vfs-6.8.netfs' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (50 commits) netfs: Fix wrong #ifdef hiding wait cachefiles: Fix signed/unsigned mixup netfs: Fix the loop that unmarks folios after writing to the cache netfs: Fix interaction between write-streaming and cachefiles culling netfs: Count DIO writes netfs: Mark netfs_unbuffered_write_iter_locked() static netfs: Fix proc/fs/fscache symlink to point to "netfs" not "../netfs" netfs: Rearrange netfs_io_subrequest to put request pointer first 9p: Use length of data written to the server in preference to error 9p: Do a couple of cleanups 9p: Fix initialisation of netfs_inode for 9p cachefiles: Fix __cachefiles_prepare_write() 9p: Use netfslib read/write_iter afs: Use the netfs write helpers netfs: Export the netfs_sreq tracepoint netfs: Optimise away reads above the point at which there can be no data netfs: Implement a write-through caching option netfs: Provide a launder_folio implementation netfs: Provide a writepages implementation netfs, cachefiles: Pass upper bound length to allow expansion ...

afs: Overhaul invalidation handling to better support RO volumes

2024-01-01T16:37:27+00:00

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.

afs: Simplify error handling

2023-12-24T15:22:53+00:00

Simplify error handling a bit by moving it from the afs_addr_cursor struct to the afs_operation and afs_vl_cursor structs and using the error prioritisation function for accumulating errors from multiple sources (AFS tries to rotate between multiple fileservers, some of which may be inaccessible or in some state of offlinedness).

afs: Wrap most op->error accesses with inline funcs

2023-12-24T15:22:53+00:00

Wrap most op->error accesses with inline funcs which will make it easier for a subsequent patch to replace op->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.

netfs: Add iov_iters to (sub)requests to describe various buffers

2023-12-24T15:08:52+00:00

Add three iov_iter structs: (1) Add an iov_iter (->iter) to the I/O request to describe the unencrypted-side buffer. (2) Add an iov_iter (->io_iter) to the I/O request to describe the encrypted-side I/O buffer. This may be a different size to the buffer in (1). (3) Add an iov_iter (->io_iter) to the I/O subrequest to describe the part of the I/O buffer for that subrequest. This will allow future patches to point to a bounce buffer instead for purposes of handling oversize writes, decryption (where we want to save the encrypted data to the cache) and decompression. These iov_iters persist for the lifetime of the (sub)request, and so can be accessed multiple times without worrying about them being deallocated upon return to the caller. The network filesystem must appropriately advance the iterator before terminating the request.

afs: Don't use folio->private to record partial modification

2023-12-24T15:08:51+00:00

AFS currently uses folio->private to store the range of bytes within a folio that have been modified - the idea being that if we have, say, a 2MiB folio and someone writes a single byte, we only have to write back that single page and not the whole 2MiB folio - thereby saving on network bandwidth. Remove this, at least for now, and accept the extra network load (which doesn't matter in the common case of writing a whole file at a time from beginning to end). This makes folio->private available for netfslib to use.

netfs: Move pinning-for-writeback from fscache to netfs

2023-12-24T15:08:49+00:00

Move the resource pinning-for-writeback from fscache code to netfslib code. This is used to keep a cache backing object pinned whilst we have dirty pages on the netfs inode in the pagecache such that VM writeback will be able to reach it. Whilst we're at it, switch the parameters of netfs_unpin_writeback() to match ->write_inode() so that it can be used for that directly. Note that this mechanism could be more generically useful than that for network filesystems. Quite often they have to keep around other resources (e.g. authentication tokens or network connections) until the writeback is complete.
