Fix the fileserver rotation so that it doesn't use RTT as the basis for
deciding which server and address to use as this doesn't necessarily give a
good indication of the best path. Instead, use the configurable preference
list in conjunction with whatever probes have succeeded at the time of
looking.
To this end, make the following changes:
(1) Keep an array of "server states" to track what addresses we've tried
on each server and move the waitqueue entries there that we'll need
for probing.
(2) Each afs_server_state struct is made to pin the corresponding server's
endpoint state rather than the afs_operation struct carrying a pin on
the server we're currently looking at.
(3) Drop the server list preference; we now always rescan the server list.
(4) afs_wait_for_probes() now uses the server state list to guide it in
what it waits for (and to provide the waitqueue entries) and returns
an indication of whether we'd got a response, run out of responsive
addresses or the endpoint state had been superseded and we need to
restart the iteration.
(5) Call afs_get_address_preferences*() occasionally to refresh the
preference values.
(6) When picking a server, scan the addresses of the servers for which we
have as-yet untested communications, looking for the highest priority
one and use that instead of trying all the addresses for a particular
server in ascending-RTT order.
(7) When a Busy or Offline state is seen across all available servers, do
a short sleep.
(8) If we detect that we accessed a future RO volume version whilst it is
undergoing replication, reissue the op against the older version until
at least half of the servers are replicated.
(9) Whilst RO replication is ongoing, increase the frequency of Volume
Location server checks for that volume to every ten minutes instead of
hourly.
Also add a tracepoint to track progress through the rotation algorithm.

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.

A number of fileserver RPC operations return a VolSync record as part of
their reply that gives some information about the state of the volume being
accessed, including:
(1) A volume Creation timestamp. For an RW volume, this is the time at
which the volume was created; if it changes, the RW volume was
presumably restored from a backup and all cached data should be
scrubbed as Data Version numbers could regress on the files in the
volume.
For an RO volume, this is the time it was last snapshotted from the RW
volume. It is expected to advance each time this happens; if it
regresses, cached data should be scrubbed.
(2) A volume Update timestamp (Auristor only). For an RW volume, this is
updated any time any change is made to a volume or its contents. If
it regresses, all cached data must be scrubbed.
For an RO volume, this is a copy of the RW volume's Update timestamp
at the point of snapshotting. It can be used as a version number when
checking to see if a callback on a RO volume was due to a snapshot.
If it regresses, all cached data must be scrubbed.
but this is currently not made use of by the in-kernel afs filesystem.
Make the afs filesystem use this by:
(1) Add an update time field to the afs_volsync struct and use a value of
TIME64_MIN in both that and the creation time to indicate that they
are unset.
(2) Add creation and update time fields to the afs_volume struct and use
this to track the two timestamps.
(3) Add a volsync_lock mutex to the afs_volume struct to control
modification access for when we detect a change in these values.
(3) Add a 'pre-op volsync' struct to the afs_operation struct to record
the state of the volume tracking before the op.
(4) Add a new counter, cb_scrub, to the afs_volume struct to count events
that require all data to be scrubbed. A copy is placed in the
afs_vnode struct (inode) and if they no longer match, a scrub takes
place.
(5) When the result of an operation is being parsed, parse the VolSync
data too, if it is provided. Note that the two timestamps are handled
separately, since they don't work in quite the same way.
- If the afs_volume tracking is unset, just set it and do nothing
else.
- If the result timestamps are the same as the ones in afs_volume, do
nothing.
- If the timestamps regress, increment cb_scrub if not already done
so.
- If the creation timestamp on a RW volume changes, increment cb_scrub
if not already done so.
- If the creation timestamp on a RO volume advances, update the server
list and see if the current server has been excluded, if so reissue
the op. Once over half of the replication sites have been updated,
increment cb_ro_snapshot to indicate updates may be required and
switch over to excluding unupdated replication sites.
- If the creation timestamp on a Backup volume advances, just
increment cb_ro_snapshot to trigger updates.

Keep a record of the current fileserver endpoint state, including the probe
state, and replace it when a new probe is started rather than just
squelching the old state and overwriting it. Clearance of the old state
can cause a race if there's another thread also currently trying to
communicate with that server.
It appears that this race might be the culprit for some occasions where
kafs complains about invalid data in the RPC reply because the rotation
algorithm fell all the way through without actually issuing an RPC call and
the error return got filled in from the probe state (which has a zero error
recorded). Whatever happens to be in the caller's reply buffer is then
taken as the response.

While randstruct was satisfied with using an open-coded "void *" offset
cast for the netfs_i_context <-> inode casting, __builtin_object_size() as
used by FORTIFY_SOURCE was not as easily fooled. This was causing the
following complaint[1] from gcc v12:
In file included from include/linux/string.h:253,

| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fix this by embedding a struct inode into struct netfs_i_context (which
should perhaps be renamed to struct netfs_inode). The struct inode
vfs_inode fields are then removed from the 9p, afs, ceph and cifs inode
structs and vfs_inode is then simply changed to "netfs.inode" in those
filesystems.
Further, rename netfs_i_context to netfs_inode, get rid of the
netfs_inode() function that converted a netfs_i_context pointer to an
inode pointer (that can now be done with &ctx->inode) and rename the
netfs_i_context() function to netfs_inode() (which is now a wrapper
around container_of()).
Most of the changes were done with:
perl -p -i -e 's/vfs_inode/netfs.inode/'g \
`git grep -l 'vfs_inode' -- fs/{9p,afs,ceph,cifs}/*.[ch]`
Kees suggested doing it with a pair structure[2] and a special
declarator to insert that into the network filesystem's inode
wrapper[3], but I think it's cleaner to embed it - and then it doesn't
matter if struct randomisation reorders things.
Dave Chinner suggested using a filesystem-specific VFS_I() function in
each filesystem to convert that filesystem's own inode wrapper struct
into the VFS inode struct[4].
Version #2:
- Fix a couple of missed name changes due to a disabled cifs option.
- Rename nfs_i_context to nfs_inode
- Use "netfs" instead of "nic" as the member name in per-fs inode wrapper
structs.

The generic/464 xfstest causes kAFS to emit occasional warnings of the
form:
kAFS: vnode modified {100055:8a} 30->31 YFS.StoreData64 (c=6015)
This indicates that the data version received back from the server did not
match the expected value (the DV should be incremented monotonically for
each individual modification op committed to a vnode).
What is happening is that a lookup call is doing a bulk status fetch
speculatively on a bunch of vnodes in a directory besides getting the
status of the vnode it's actually interested in. This is racing with a
StoreData operation (though it could also occur with, say, a MakeDir op).
On the client, a modification operation locks the vnode, but the bulk
status fetch only locks the parent directory, so no ordering is imposed
there (thereby avoiding an avenue to deadlock).
On the server, the StoreData op handler doesn't lock the vnode until it's
received all the request data, and downgrades the lock after committing the
data until it has finished sending change notifications to other clients -
which allows the status fetch to occur before it has finished.
This means that:
- a status fetch can access the target vnode either side of the exclusive
section of the modification
- the status fetch could start before the modification, yet finish after,
and vice-versa.
- the status fetch and the modification RPCs can complete in either order.
- the status fetch can return either the before or the after DV from the
modification.
- the status fetch might regress the locally cached DV.
Some of these are handled by the previous fix[1], but that's not sufficient
because it checks the DV it received against the DV it cached at the start
of the op, but the DV might've been updated in the meantime by a locally
generated modification op.
Fix this by the following means:
(1) Keep track of when we're performing a modification operation on a
vnode. This is done by marking vnode parameters with a 'modification'
note that causes the AFS_VNODE_MODIFYING flag to be set on the vnode
for the duration.
(2) Alter the speculation race detection to ignore speculative status
fetches if either the vnode is marked as being modified or the data
version number is not what we expected.
Note that whilst the "vnode modified" warning does get recovered from as it
causes the client to refetch the status at the next opportunity, it will
also invalidate the pagecache, so changes might get lost.

If someone attempts to access YFS-related xattrs (e.g. afs.yfs.acl) on a
file on a non-YFS AFS server (such as OpenAFS), then the kernel will jump
to a NULL function pointer because the afs_fetch_acl_operation descriptor
doesn't point to a function for issuing an operation on a non-YFS
server[1].
Fix this by making afs_wait_for_operation() check that the issue_afs_rpc
method is set before jumping to it and setting -ENOTSUPP if not. This fix
also covers other potential operations that also only exist on YFS servers.
afs_xattr_get/set_yfs() then need to translate -ENOTSUPP to -ENODATA as the
former error is internal to the kernel.
The bug shows up as an oops like the following:

The afs filesystem driver allows unstarted operations to be cancelled by
signal, but most of these can easily be restarted (mkdir for example). The
primary culprits for reproducing this are those applications that use
SIGALRM to display a progress counter.
File lock-extension operation is marked uninterruptible as we have a
limited time in which to do it, and the release op is marked
uninterruptible also as if we fail to unlock a file, we'll have to wait 20
mins before anyone can lock it again.
The store operation logs a warning if it gets interruption, e.g.:
kAFS: Unexpected error from FS.StoreData -4
because it's run from the background - but it can also be run from
fdatasync()-type things. However, store options aren't marked
interruptible at the moment.
Fix this in the following ways:
(1) Mark store operations as uninterruptible. It might make sense to
relax this for certain situations, but I'm not sure how to make sure
that background store ops aren't affected by signals to foreground
processes that happen to trigger them.
(2) In afs_get_io_locks(), where we're getting the serialisation lock for
talking to the fileserver, return ERESTARTSYS rather than EINTR
because a lot of the operations (e.g. mkdir) are restartable if we
haven't yet started sending the op to the server.

Reorganise afs_volume objects such that they're in a tree keyed on volume
ID, rooted at on an afs_cell object rather than being in multiple trees,
each of which is rooted on an afs_server object.
afs_server structs become per-cell and acquire a pointer to the cell.
The process of breaking a callback then starts with finding the server by
its network address, following that to the cell and then looking up each
volume ID in the volume tree.
This is simpler than the afs_vol_interest/afs_cb_interest N:M mapping web
and allows those structs and the code for maintaining them to be simplified
or removed.
It does make a couple of things a bit more tricky, though:
(1) Operations now start with a volume, not a server, so there can be more
than one answer as to whether or not the server we'll end up using
supports the FS.InlineBulkStatus RPC.
(2) CB RPC operations that specify the server UUID. There's still a tree
of servers by UUID on the afs_net struct, but the UUIDs in it aren't
guaranteed unique.

Turn the afs_operation struct into the main way that most fileserver
operations are managed. Various things are added to the struct, including
the following:
(1) All the parameters and results of the relevant operations are moved
into it, removing corresponding fields from the afs_call struct.
afs_call gets a pointer to the op.
(2) The target volume is made the main focus of the operation, rather than
the target vnode(s), and a bunch of op->vnode->volume are made
op->volume instead.
(3) Two vnode records are defined (op->file[]) for the vnode(s) involved
in most operations. The vnode record (struct afs_vnode_param)
contains:
- The vnode pointer.
- The fid of the vnode to be included in the parameters or that was
returned in the reply (eg. FS.MakeDir).
- The status and callback information that may be returned in the
reply about the vnode.
- Callback break and data version tracking for detecting
simultaneous third-parth changes.
(4) Pointers to dentries to be updated with new inodes.
(5) An operations table pointer. The table includes pointers to functions
for issuing AFS and YFS-variant RPCs, handling the success and abort
of an operation and handling post-I/O-lock local editing of a
directory.
To make this work, the following function restructuring is made:
(A) The rotation loop that issues calls to fileservers that can be found
in each function that wants to issue an RPC (such as afs_mkdir()) is
extracted out into common code, in a new file called fs_operation.c.
(B) The rotation loops, such as the one in afs_mkdir(), are replaced with
a much smaller piece of code that allocates an operation, sets the
parameters and then calls out to the common code to do the actual
work.
(C) The code for handling the success and failure of an operation are
moved into operation functions (as (5) above) and these are called
from the core code at appropriate times.
(D) The pseudo inode getting stuff used by the dynamic root code is moved
over into dynroot.c.
(E) struct afs_iget_data is absorbed into the operation struct and
afs_iget() expects to be given an op pointer and a vnode record.
(F) Point (E) doesn't work for the root dir of a volume, but we know the
FID in advance (it's always vnode 1, unique 1), so a separate inode
getter, afs_root_iget(), is provided to special-case that.
(G) The inode status init/update functions now also take an op and a vnode
record.
(H) The RPC marshalling functions now, for the most part, just take an
afs_operation struct as their only argument. All the data they need
is held there. The result delivery functions write their answers
there as well.
(I) The call is attached to the operation and then the operation core does
the waiting.
And then the new operation code is, for the moment, made to just initialise
the operation, get the appropriate vnode I/O locks and do the same rotation
loop as before.
This lays the foundation for the following changes in the future:
(*) Overhauling the rotation (again).
(*) Support for asynchronous I/O, where the fileserver rotation must be
done asynchronously also.
