<id>urn:sha1:7e1f9e2cd2d0e780c394a4402c40e125109fec72</id>
<content type='text'>
Add the debugfs and trace plumbing used to trigger and observe
manual client reset.

The reset interface exposes a trigger file for operator-initiated
reset and a status file for tracking the most recent run.  The
tracepoints record scheduling, completion, and blocked caller
behavior so reset progress can be diagnosed from the client side.

debugfs layout under /sys/kernel/debug/ceph/&lt;client&gt;/reset/:
  trigger - write to initiate a manual reset
  status  - read to see the most recent reset result

The reset directory is cleaned up via debugfs_remove_recursive()
on the parent, so individual file dentries are not stored.

Tracepoints:
  ceph_client_reset_schedule  - reset queued
  ceph_client_reset_complete  - reset finished (success or failure)
  ceph_client_reset_blocked   - caller blocked waiting for reset
  ceph_client_reset_unblocked - caller unblocked after reset

All tracepoints use a null-safe access for monc.auth-&gt;global_id
to guard against early-init or late-teardown edge cases.

<title>ceph: add diagnostic timeout loop to wait_caps_flush()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ebbbab66bd74dbd213d51afc3b029dc8b109ee47</id>
<content type='text'>
Convert wait_caps_flush() from a silent indefinite wait into a diagnostic
wait loop that periodically dumps pending cap flush state.

The underlying wait semantics remain intact: callers still wait until the
requested cap flushes complete. The difference is that long stalls now
produce actionable diagnostics instead of looking like a silent hang.

CEPH_CAP_FLUSH_MAX_DUMP_ENTRIES limits the number of entries
emitted per diagnostic dump, and CEPH_CAP_FLUSH_MAX_DUMP_ITERS
limits the number of timed diagnostic dumps before the wait
continues silently.  When more entries exist than the per-dump
limit, a truncation count is reported.  When the dump iteration
limit is reached, a final suppression message is emitted so the
transition to silence is explicit.

The diagnostic dump collects flush entry data under cap_dirty_lock into
a bounded on-stack array, then prints after releasing the lock.  This
avoids holding the spinlock across printk calls.

A null cf-&gt;ci on the global flush list indicates a bug since all
cap_flush entries are initialized with a valid ci before being added.
Signal this with WARN_ON_ONCE while still printing enough context for
debugging.

READ_ONCE is used for the i_last_cap_flush_ack field, which is read
outside the inode lock domain. Flush tids are monotonically increasing
and acks are processed in order under i_ceph_lock, so the latest ack
tid is always the most recently written value.

Add a ci pointer to struct ceph_cap_flush so that the diagnostic
dump can identify which inode each pending flush belongs to.  The
new i_last_cap_flush_ack field tracks the latest acknowledged flush
tid per inode for diagnostic correlation.

This improves reset-drain observability and is also useful for
existing sync and writeback troubleshooting paths.

<title>ceph: use proper endian conversion for flock_len in reconnect</title>

Replace the __force __le32 cast with cpu_to_le32() for the flock_len field
in reconnect_caps_cb(). The old code used a type-system bypass to silence
sparse; the new form uses the proper endian conversion macro.

Also switch from a raw bitmask test against i_ceph_flags to test_bit() on
the named CEPH_I_ERROR_FILELOCK_BIT, which is the correct accessor for the
unsigned long flags field after the bit-position conversion.

Remove the now-unused CEPH_I_ERROR_FILELOCK mask define since all callers
use the _BIT form with test_bit/set_bit/clear_bit.

<title>ceph: convert inode flags to named bit positions and atomic bitops</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e120e2b666851c4c0c7bffd315ff69a09f9fe4ac</id>
<content type='text'>
Define named bit-position constants for all CEPH_I_* inode flags and
derive the bitmask values from them.  This gives every flag a named
_BIT constant usable with the test_bit/set_bit/clear_bit family.
The intentionally unused bit position 1 is documented inline.

Convert all flag modifications to use atomic bitops (set_bit,
clear_bit, test_and_clear_bit).  The previous code mixed lockless
atomic ops on some flags (ERROR_WRITE, ODIRECT) with non-atomic
read-modify-write (|= / &amp;= ~) on other flags sharing the same
unsigned long.  A concurrent non-atomic RMW can clobber an
adjacent lockless atomic update -- for example, a lockless
clear_bit(ERROR_WRITE) could be silently resurrected by a
concurrent ci-&gt;i_ceph_flags |= CEPH_I_FLUSH under the spinlock.
Using atomic bitops for all modifications eliminates this class
of race entirely.

Flags whose only users are now the _BIT form (ERROR_WRITE,
ASYNC_CHECK_CAPS) have their old mask defines removed to document
that callers must use the _BIT constant with the set_bit/test_bit
family.  ERROR_FILELOCK and SHUTDOWN retain their mask defines
because they are still used via bitmask tests in lockless readers
(ceph_inode_is_shutdown, reconnect_caps_cb).

The direct assignment in ceph_finish_async_create() is converted
from i_ceph_flags = CEPH_I_ASYNC_CREATE to set_bit().  This
inode is I_NEW at this point -- still invisible to other threads
and guaranteed to have zero flags from alloc_inode -- so either
form is safe, but set_bit() keeps the conversion uniform.

<id>urn:sha1:b1137e0b3d4bad1cad73fa9bac763c74ddd1813d</id>
<content type='text'>
Add complete infrastructure for per-subvolume I/O metrics collection
and reporting to the MDS. This enables administrators to monitor I/O
patterns at the subvolume granularity, which is useful for multi-tenant
CephFS deployments.

This patch adds:
- CEPHFS_FEATURE_SUBVOLUME_METRICS feature flag for MDS negotiation
- CEPH_SUBVOLUME_ID_NONE constant (0) for unknown/unset state
- Red-black tree based metrics tracker for efficient per-subvolume
  aggregation with kmem_cache for entry allocations
- Wire format encoding matching the MDS C++ AggregatedIOMetrics struct
- Integration with the existing CLIENT_METRICS message
- Recording of I/O operations from file read/write and writeback paths
- Debugfs interfaces for monitoring (metrics/subvolumes, metrics/metric_features)

Metrics tracked per subvolume include:
- Read/write operation counts
- Read/write byte counts
- Read/write latency sums (for average calculation)

The metrics are periodically sent to the MDS as part of the existing
metrics reporting infrastructure when the MDS advertises support for
the SUBVOLUME_METRICS feature.

CEPH_SUBVOLUME_ID_NONE enforces subvolume_id immutability. Following
the FUSE client convention, 0 means unknown/unset. Once an inode has
a valid (non-zero) subvolume_id, it should not change during the
inode's lifetime.

Add support for parsing the subvolume_id field from InodeStat v9 and
storing it in the inode for later use by subvolume metrics tracking.

The subvolume_id identifies which CephFS subvolume an inode belongs to,
enabling per-subvolume I/O metrics collection and reporting.

This patch:
- Adds subvolume_id field to struct ceph_mds_reply_info_in
- Adds i_subvolume_id field to struct ceph_inode_info
- Parses subvolume_id from v9 InodeStat in parse_reply_info_in()
- Adds ceph_inode_set_subvolume() helper to propagate the ID to inodes
- Initializes i_subvolume_id in inode allocation and clears on destroy

<id>urn:sha1:7987cce375ac8ce98e170a77aa2399f2cf6eb99f</id>
<content type='text'>
The CephFS kernel client has regression starting from 6.18-rc1.
We have issue in ceph_mds_auth_match() if fs_name == NULL:

    const char fs_name = mdsc-&gt;fsc-&gt;mount_options-&gt;mds_namespace;
    ...
    if (auth-&gt;match.fs_name &amp;&amp; strcmp(auth-&gt;match.fs_name, fs_name)) {
            / fsname mismatch, try next one */
            return 0;
    }

Patrick Donnelly suggested that: In summary, we should definitely start
decoding `fs_name` from the MDSMap and do strict authorizations checks
against it. Note that the `-o mds_namespace=foo` should only be used for
selecting the file system to mount and nothing else. It's possible
no mds_namespace is specified but the kernel will mount the only
file system that exists which may have name "foo".

This patch reworks ceph_mdsmap_decode() and namespace_equals() with
the goal of supporting the suggested concept. Now struct ceph_mdsmap
contains m_fs_name field that receives copy of extracted FS name
by ceph_extract_encoded_string(). For the case of "old" CephFS file
systems, it is used "cephfs" name.

[ idryomov: replace redundant %*pE with %s in ceph_mdsmap_decode(),
  get rid of a series of strlen() calls in ceph_namespace_match(),
  drop changes to namespace_equals() body to avoid treating empty
  mds_namespace as equal, drop changes to ceph_mdsc_handle_fsmap()
  as namespace_equals() isn't an equivalent substitution there ]

The mds auth caps check should also validate the
fsname along with the associated caps. Not doing
so would result in applying the mds auth caps of
one fs on to the other fs in a multifs ceph cluster.
The bug causes multiple issues w.r.t user
authentication, following is one such example.

Steps to Reproduce (on vstart cluster):
1. Create two file systems in a cluster, say 'fsname1' and 'fsname2'
2. Authorize read only permission to the user 'client.usr' on fs 'fsname1'
    $ceph fs authorize fsname1 client.usr / r
3. Authorize read and write permission to the same user 'client.usr' on fs 'fsname2'
    $ceph fs authorize fsname2 client.usr / rw
4. Update the keyring
    $ceph auth get client.usr &gt;&gt; ./keyring

With above permssions for the user 'client.usr', following is the
expectation.
  a. The 'client.usr' should be able to only read the contents
     and not allowed to create or delete files on file system 'fsname1'.
  b. The 'client.usr' should be able to read/write on file system 'fsname2'.

But, with this bug, the 'client.usr' is allowed to read/write on file
system 'fsname1'. See below.

5. Mount the file system 'fsname1' with the user 'client.usr'
     $sudo bin/mount.ceph usr@.fsname1=/ /kmnt_fsname1_usr/
6. Try creating a file on file system 'fsname1' with user 'client.usr'. This
   should fail but passes with this bug.
     $touch /kmnt_fsname1_usr/file1
7. Mount the file system 'fsname1' with the user 'client.admin' and create a
   file.
     $sudo bin/mount.ceph admin@.fsname1=/ /kmnt_fsname1_admin
     $echo "data" &gt; /kmnt_fsname1_admin/admin_file1
8. Try removing an existing file on file system 'fsname1' with the user
   'client.usr'. This shoudn't succeed but succeeds with the bug.
     $rm -f /kmnt_fsname1_usr/admin_file1

For more information, please take a look at the corresponding mds/fuse patch
and tests added by looking into the tracker mentioned below.

v2: Fix a possible null dereference in doutc
v3: Don't store fsname from mdsmap, validate against
    ceph_mount_options's fsname and use it
v4: Code refactor, better warning message and
    fix possible compiler warning

The Coverity Scan service has detected potential
race conditions in ceph_block_o_direct(), ceph_start_io_read(),
ceph_block_buffered(), and ceph_start_io_direct() [1 - 4].

The CID 1590942, 1590665, 1589664, 1590377 contain explanation:
"The value of the shared data will be determined by
the interleaving of thread execution. Thread shared data is accessed
without holding an appropriate lock, possibly causing
a race condition (CWE-366)".

This patch reworks the pattern of accessing/modification of
CEPH_I_ODIRECT flag by means of adding smp_mb__before_atomic()
before reading the status of CEPH_I_ODIRECT flag and
smp_mb__after_atomic() after clearing set/clear this flag.
Also, it was reworked the pattern of using of ci-&gt;i_ceph_lock
in ceph_block_o_direct(), ceph_start_io_read(),
ceph_block_buffered(), and ceph_start_io_direct() methods.
