<id>urn:sha1:056fc740be000d39a7dba700a935f3bbfbc664e6</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 72904d7b9bfbf2dd146254edea93958bc35bbbfe ]

Change rxrpc's API such that:

 (1) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer(), is provided to look up an
     rxrpc_peer record for a remote address and a corresponding function,
     rxrpc_kernel_put_peer(), is provided to dispose of it again.

 (2) When setting up a call, the rxrpc_peer object used during a call is
     now passed in rather than being set up by rxrpc_connect_call().  For
     afs, this meenat passing it to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() rather than
     the full address (the service ID then has to be passed in as a
     separate parameter).

 (3) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr(), is added so that afs can
     get a pointer to the transport address for display purposed, and
     another, rxrpc_kernel_remote_srx(), to gain a pointer to the full
     rxrpc address.

 (4) The function to retrieve the RTT from a call, rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt(),
     is then altered to take a peer.  This now returns the RTT or -1 if
     there are insufficient samples.

 (5) Rename rxrpc_kernel_get_peer() to rxrpc_kernel_call_get_peer().

 (6) Provide a new function, rxrpc_kernel_get_peer(), to get a ref on a
     peer the caller already has.

This allows the afs filesystem to pin the rxrpc_peer records that it is
using, allowing faster lookups and pointer comparisons rather than
comparing sockaddr_rxrpc contents.  It also makes it easier to get hold of
the RTT.  The following changes are made to afs:

 (1) The addr_list struct's addrs[] elements now hold a peer struct pointer
     and a service ID rather than a sockaddr_rxrpc.

 (2) When displaying the transport address, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr() is
     used.

 (3) The port arg is removed from afs_alloc_addrlist() since it's always
     overridden.

 (4) afs_merge_fs_addr4() and afs_merge_fs_addr6() do peer lookup and may
     now return an error that must be handled.

 (5) afs_find_server() now takes a peer pointer to specify the address.

 (6) afs_find_server(), afs_compare_fs_alists() and afs_merge_fs_addr[46]{}
     now do peer pointer comparison rather than address comparison.

<content type='text'>
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
accounting directly.

<title>afs: Fix cell refcounting by splitting the usage counter</title>

<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.

Don't use the running state for VL server probes to make decisions about
which server to use as the state is cleared at the start of a probe and
intermediate values might also be misleading.

Instead, add a separate 'latest known' rtt in the afs_vlserver struct and a
flag to indicate if the server is known to be responding and update these
as and when we know what to change them to.
