d73065e60d afs: Use alternative invalidation to using launder_folio
Use writepages-based flushing invalidation instead of
invalidate_inode_pages2() and ->launder_folio().  This will allow
->launder_folio() to be removed eventually.

b74c02a379 afs: Fix occasional rmdir-then-VNOVNODE with generic/011
Sometimes generic/011 causes kafs to follow up an FS.RemoveDir RPC call by
spending around a second sending a slew of FS.FetchStatus RPC calls to the
directory just deleted that then abort with VNOVNODE, indicating deletion
of the target directory.

This seems to stem from userspace attempting to stat the directory or
something in it:

    afs_select_fileserver+0x46d/0xaa2
    afs_wait_for_operation+0x12/0x17e
    afs_fetch_status+0x56/0x75
    afs_validate+0xfb/0x240
    afs_permission+0xef/0x1b0
    inode_permission+0x90/0x139
    link_path_walk.part.0.constprop.0+0x6f/0x2f0
    path_lookupat+0x4c/0xfa
    filename_lookup+0x63/0xd7
    vfs_statx+0x62/0x13f
    vfs_fstatat+0x72/0x8a

The issue appears to be that afs_dir_remove_subdir() marks the callback
promise as being cancelled by setting the expiry time to AFS_NO_CB_PROMISE
- which then confuses afs_validate() which sends the FetchStatus to try and
get a new one before it checks for the AFS_VNODE_DELETED flag which
indicates that we know the directory got deleted.

Fix this by:

 (1) Make afs_check_validity() return true if AFS_VNODE_DELETED is set, and
     then tweak the return from afs_validate() if the DELETED flag is set.

 (2) Move the AFS_VNODE_DELETED check in afs_validate() up above the
     expiration check to immediately after we've grabbed the validate_lock.

453924de62 afs: Overhaul invalidation handling to better support RO volumes
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.

16069e1349 afs: Parse the VolSync record in the reply of a number of RPC ops
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.
