<title>SMB3: force unmount was failing to close deferred close files</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2cb6f968775a9fd60c90a6042b9550bcec3ea087</id>
<content type='text'>
In investigating a failure with xfstest generic/392 it
was noticed that mounts were reusing a superblock that should
already have been freed. This turned out to be related to
deferred close files keeping a reference count until the
closetimeo expired.

Currently the only way an fs knows that mount is beginning is
when force unmount is called, but when this, ie umount_begin(),
is called all deferred close files on the share (tree
connection) should be closed immediately (unless shared by
another mount) to avoid using excess resources on the server
and to avoid reusing a superblock which should already be freed.

In umount_begin, close all deferred close handles for that
share if this is the last mount using that share on this
client (ie send the SMB3 close request over the wire for those
that have been already closed by the app but that we have
kept a handle lease open for and have not sent closes to the
server for yet).

rasize (ra_pages) should be set higher than read size by default
to allow parallel reads when reading large files in order to
improve performance (otherwise there is much dead time on the
network when doing readahead of large files).  Default rasize
to twice readsize.

<id>urn:sha1:491eafce1a51c457701351a4bf40733799745314</id>
<content type='text'>
If user does forced unmount ("umount -f") while files are still open
on the share (as was seen in a Kubernetes example running on SMB3.1.1
mount) then we were marking the share as "TID_EXITING" in umount_begin()
which caused all subsequent operations (except write) to fail ... but
unfortunately when umount_begin() is called we do not know yet that
there are open files or active references on the share that would prevent
unmount from succeeding.  Kubernetes had example when they were doing
umount -f when files were open which caused the share to become
unusable until the files were closed (and the umount retried).

Fix this so that TID_EXITING is not set until we are about to send
the tree disconnect (not at the beginning of forced umounts in
umount_begin) so that if "umount -f" fails (due to open files or
references) the mount is still usable.

Pull cifs client updates from Steve French:
 "The largest subset of this is from David Howells et al: making the
  cifs/smb3 driver pass iov_iters down to the lowest layers, directly to
  the network transport rather than passing lists of pages around,
  helping multiple areas:

   - Pin user pages, thereby fixing the race between concurrent DIO read
     and fork, where the pages containing the DIO read buffer may end up
     belonging to the child process and not the parent - with the result
     that the parent might not see the retrieved data.

   - cifs shouldn't take refs on pages extracted from non-user-backed
     iterators (eg. KVEC). With these changes, cifs will apply the
     appropriate cleanup.

   - Making it easier to transition to using folios in cifs rather than
     pages by dealing with them through BVEC and XARRAY iterators.

   - Allowing cifs to use the new splice function

  The remainder are:

   - fixes for stable, including various fixes for uninitialized memory,
     wrong length field causing mount issue to very old servers,
     important directory lease fixes and reconnect fixes

   - cleanups (unused code removal, change one element array usage, and
     a change form strtobool to kstrtobool, and Kconfig cleanups)

   - SMBDIRECT (RDMA) fixes including iov_iter integration and UAF fixes

   - reconnect fixes

   - multichannel fixes, including improving channel allocation (to
     least used channel)

   - remove the last use of lock_page_killable by moving to
     folio_lock_killable"

Provide cifs_splice_read() to use a bvec rather than an pipe iterator as
the latter cannot so easily be split and advanced, which is necessary to
pass an iterator down to the bottom levels.  Upstream cifs gets around this
problem by using iov_iter_get_pages() to prefill the pipe and then passing
the list of pages down.

This is done by:

 (1) Bulk-allocate a bunch of pages to carry as much of the requested
     amount of data as possible, but without overrunning the available
     slots in the pipe and add them to an ITER_BVEC.

 (2) Synchronously call -&gt;read_iter() to read into the buffer.

 (3) Discard any unused pages.

 (4) Load the remaining pages into the pipe in order and advance the head
     pointer.

Pull vfs idmapping updates from Christian Brauner:

 - Last cycle we introduced the dedicated struct mnt_idmap type for
   mount idmapping and the required infrastucture in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs:
   introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). As promised in last
   cycle's pull request message this converts everything to rely on
   struct mnt_idmap.

   Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached
   to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy
   to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with
   namespaces that are relevant on the mount level. Especially for
   non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this was a
   potential source for bugs.

   This finishes the conversion. Instead of passing the plain namespace
   around this updates all places that currently take a pointer to a
   mnt_userns with a pointer to struct mnt_idmap.

   Now that the conversion is done all helpers down to the really
   low-level helpers only accept a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
   two namespace arguments.

   Conflating mount and other idmappings will now cause the compiler to
   complain loudly thus eliminating the possibility of any bugs. This
   makes it impossible for filesystem developers to mix up mount and
   filesystem idmappings as they are two distinct types and require
   distinct helpers that cannot be used interchangeably.

   Everything associated with struct mnt_idmap is moved into a single
   separate file. With that change no code can poke around in struct
   mnt_idmap. It can only be interacted with through dedicated helpers.
   That means all filesystems are and all of the vfs is completely
   oblivious to the actual implementation of idmappings.

   We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap as we see fit. For
   example, we can decouple it completely from namespaces for users that
   don't require or don't want to use them at all. We can also extend
   the concept of idmappings so we can cover filesystem specific
   requirements.

   In combination with the vfs{g,u}id_t work we finished in v6.2 this
   makes this feature substantially more robust and thus difficult to
   implement wrong by a given filesystem and also protects the vfs.

 - Enable idmapped mounts for tmpfs and fulfill a longstanding request.

   A long-standing request from users had been to make it possible to
   create idmapped mounts for tmpfs. For example, to share the host's
   tmpfs mount between multiple sandboxes. This is a prerequisite for
   some advanced Kubernetes cases. Systemd also has a range of use-cases
   to increase service isolation. And there are more users of this.

   However, with all of the other work going on this was way down on the
   priority list but luckily someone other than ourselves picked this
   up.

   As usual the patch is tiny as all the infrastructure work had been
   done multiple kernel releases ago. In addition to all the tests that
   we already have I requested that Rodrigo add a dedicated tmpfs
   testsuite for idmapped mounts to xfstests. It is to be included into
   xfstests during the v6.3 development cycle. This should add a slew of
   additional tests.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.
