<title>cifs: Change the I/O paths to use an iterator rather than a page list</title>
<updated>2023-02-21T00:36:02+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.rulkc.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=d08089f649a0cfb2099c8551ac47eef0cc23fdf2'/>
<id>urn:sha1:d08089f649a0cfb2099c8551ac47eef0cc23fdf2</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the cifs I/O paths hand lists of pages from the VM interface
routines at the top all the way through the intervening layers to the
socket interface at the bottom.

This is a problem, however, for interfacing with netfslib which passes an
iterator through to the -&gt;issue_read() method (and will pass an iterator
through to the -&gt;issue_write() method in future).  Netfslib takes over
bounce buffering for direct I/O, async I/O and encrypted content, so cifs
doesn't need to do that.  Netfslib also converts IOVEC-type iterators into
BVEC-type iterators if necessary.

Further, cifs needs foliating - and folios may come in a variety of sizes,
so a page list pointing to an array of heterogeneous pages may cause
problems in places such as where crypto is done.

Change the cifs I/O paths to hand iov_iter iterators all the way through
instead.

Notes:

 (1) Some old routines are #if'd out to be removed in a follow up patch so
     as to avoid confusing diff, thereby making the diff output easier to
     follow.  I've removed functions that don't overlap with anything
     added.

 (2) struct smb_rqst loses rq_pages, rq_offset, rq_npages, rq_pagesz and
     rq_tailsz which describe the pages forming the buffer; instead there's
     an rq_iter describing the source buffer and an rq_buffer which is used
     to hold the buffer for encryption.

 (3) struct cifs_readdata and cifs_writedata are similarly modified to
     smb_rqst.  The -&gt;read_into_pages() and -&gt;copy_into_pages() are then
     replaced with passing the iterator directly to the socket.

     The iterators are stored in these structs so that they are persistent
     and don't get deallocated when the function returns (unlike if they
     were stack variables).

 (4) Buffered writeback is overhauled, borrowing the code from the afs
     filesystem to gather up contiguous runs of folios.  The XARRAY-type
     iterator is then used to refer directly to the pagecache and can be
     passed to the socket to transmit data directly from there.

     This includes:

	cifs_extend_writeback()
	cifs_write_back_from_locked_folio()
	cifs_writepages_region()
	cifs_writepages()

 (5) Pages are converted to folios.

 (6) Direct I/O uses netfs_extract_user_iter() to create a BVEC-type
     iterator from an IOBUF/UBUF-type source iterator.

 (7) smb2_get_aead_req() uses netfs_extract_iter_to_sg() to extract page
     fragments from the iterator into the scatterlists that the crypto
     layer prefers.

 (8) smb2_init_transform_rq() attached pages to smb_rqst::rq_buffer, an
     xarray, to use as a bounce buffer for encryption.  An XARRAY-type
     iterator can then be used to pass the bounce buffer to lower layers.

<content type='text'>
The options that are displayed for the smb3.1.1/cifs client
in "make menuconfig" are confusing because some of them are
not indented making them not appear to be related to cifs.ko
Fix that by adding an if/endif (similar to what ceph and 9pm did)
if fs/cifs/Kconfig

<content type='text'>
There were various outdated or missing things in fs/cifs/Kconfig
e.g. mention of support for insecure NTLM which has been removed,
and lack of mention of some important features. This also shortens
it slightly, and fixes some confusing text (e.g. the SMB1 POSIX
extensions option).

<title>cifs: Support fscache indexing rewrite</title>

<id>urn:sha1:70431bfd825d9cd5d93412c0456f253ecad6c415</id>
<content type='text'>
Change the cifs filesystem to take account of the changes to fscache's
indexing rewrite and reenable caching in cifs.

The following changes have been made:

 (1) The fscache_netfs struct is no more, and there's no need to register
     the filesystem as a whole.

 (2) The session cookie is now an fscache_volume cookie, allocated with
     fscache_acquire_volume().  That takes three parameters: a string
     representing the "volume" in the index, a string naming the cache to
     use (or NULL) and a u64 that conveys coherency metadata for the
     volume.

     For cifs, I've made it render the volume name string as:

	"cifs,&lt;ipaddress&gt;,&lt;sharename&gt;"

     where the sharename has '/' characters replaced with ';'.

     This probably needs rethinking a bit as the total name could exceed
     the maximum filename component length.

     Further, the coherency data is currently just set to 0.  It needs
     something else doing with it - I wonder if it would suffice simply to
     sum the resource_id, vol_create_time and vol_serial_number or maybe
     hash them.

 (3) The fscache_cookie_def is no more and needed information is passed
     directly to fscache_acquire_cookie().  The cache no longer calls back
     into the filesystem, but rather metadata changes are indicated at
     other times.

     fscache_acquire_cookie() is passed the same keying and coherency
     information as before.

 (4) The functions to set/reset cookies are removed and
     fscache_use_cookie() and fscache_unuse_cookie() are used instead.

     fscache_use_cookie() is passed a flag to indicate if the cookie is
     opened for writing.  fscache_unuse_cookie() is passed updates for the
     metadata if we changed it (ie. if the file was opened for writing).

     These are called when the file is opened or closed.

 (5) cifs_setattr_*() are made to call fscache_resize() to change the size
     of the cache object.

 (6) The functions to read and write data are stubbed out pending a
     conversion to use netfslib.

Changes
=======
ver #8:
 - Abstract cache invalidation into a helper function.
 - Fix some checkpatch warnings[3].

ver #7:
 - Removed the accidentally added-back call to get the super cookie in
   cifs_root_iget().
 - Fixed the right call to cifs_fscache_get_super_cookie() to take account
   of the "-o fsc" mount flag.

ver #6:
 - Moved the change of gfpflags_allow_blocking() to current_is_kswapd() for
   cifs here.
 - Fixed one of the error paths in cifs_atomic_open() to jump around the
   call to use the cookie.
 - Fixed an additional successful return in the middle of cifs_open() to
   use the cookie on the way out.
 - Only get a volume cookie (and thus inode cookies) when "-o fsc" is
   supplied to mount.

ver #5:
 - Fixed a couple of bits of cookie handling[2]:
   - The cookie should be released in cifs_evict_inode(), not
     cifsFileInfo_put_final().  The cookie needs to persist beyond file
     closure so that writepages will be able to write to it.
   - fscache_use_cookie() needs to be called in cifs_atomic_open() as it is
     for cifs_open().

ver #4:
 - Fixed the use of sizeof with memset.
 - tcon-&gt;vol_create_time is __le64 so doesn't need cpu_to_le64().

ver #3:
 - Canonicalise the cifs coherency data to make the cache portable.
 - Set volume coherency data.

ver #2:
 - Use gfpflags_allow_blocking() rather than using flag directly.
 - Upgraded to -rc4 to allow for upstream changes[1].
 - fscache_acquire_volume() now returns errors.
