Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
- Split the readpage handler for symlinks from the one for files. The
symlink readpage isn't given a file pointer, so the handling has to
be special-cased.
This has been posted as part of a patchset to foliate netfs, afs,
etc.[1] but I've moved it to this one as it's not actually doing
foliation but is more of a pre-cleanup.
- Fix file creation to set the mtime from the client's clock to keep
make happy if the server's clock isn't quite in sync.[2]

For operations that create vnodes on the server such as CreateFile,
MakeDir or Symlink, the server will store its own current time as
the mtime if the client doesn't pass in a time in the accompanying
StoreStatus structure.
If the server and client clocks are not well synchronized, the client
may see timestamps in the future or inconsistent dependency checks

make[2]: Warning: File 'arch/x86/kernel/apic/modules.order' has

This is already handled correctly for non yfs operations; also

Pull memory folios from Matthew Wilcox:
"Add memory folios, a new type to represent either order-0 pages or the
head page of a compound page. This should be enough infrastructure to
support filesystems converting from pages to folios.
The point of all this churn is to allow filesystems and the page cache
to manage memory in larger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. The original plan
was to use compound pages like THP does, but I ran into problems with
some functions expecting only a head page while others expect the
precise page containing a particular byte.
The folio type allows a function to declare that it's expecting only a
head page. Almost incidentally, this allows us to remove various calls
to VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)) and compound_head().
This converts just parts of the core MM and the page cache. For 5.17,
we intend to convert various filesystems (XFS and AFS are ready; other
filesystems may make it) and also convert more of the MM and page
cache to folios. For 5.18, multi-page folios should be ready.
The multi-page folios offer some improvement to some workloads. The
80% win is real, but appears to be an artificial benchmark (postgres
startup, which isn't a serious workload). Real workloads (eg building
the kernel, running postgres in a steady state, etc) seem to benefit
between 0-10%. I haven't heard of any performance losses as a result
of this series. Nobody has done any serious performance tuning; I
imagine that tweaking the readahead algorithm could provide some more
interesting wins. There are also other places where we could choose to
create large folios and currently do not, such as writes that are
larger than PAGE_SIZE.

wait_on_page_writeback_killable() only has one caller, so convert it to

Turning PageWriteback() into folio_test_writeback() eliminates a call

When an afs file or directory is modified locally such that the total file
size is extended, i_blocks needs to be recalculated too.
Fix this by making afs_write_end() and afs_edit_dir_add() call
afs_set_i_size() rather than setting inode->i_size directly as that also
recalculates inode->i_blocks.
This can be tested by creating and writing into directories and files and
then examining them with du. Without this change, directories show a 4
blocks (they start out at 2048 bytes) and files show 0 blocks; with this
change, they should show a number of blocks proportional to the file size
rounded up to 1024.

AFS-3 has two data fetch RPC variants, FS.FetchData and FS.FetchData64, and
Linux's afs client switches between them when talking to a non-YFS server
if the read size, the file position or the sum of the two have the upper 32
bits set of the 64-bit value.
This is a problem, however, since the file position and length fields of
FS.FetchData are *signed* 32-bit values.
Fix this by capturing the capability bits obtained from the fileserver when
it's sent an FS.GetCapabilities RPC, rather than just discarding them, and
then picking out the VICED_CAPABILITY_64BITFILES flag. This can then be
used to decide whether to use FS.FetchData or FS.FetchData64 - and also
FS.StoreData or FS.StoreData64 - rather than using upper_32_bits() to
switch on the parameter values.
This capabilities flag could also be used to limit the maximum size of the
file, but all servers must be checked for that.
Note that the issue does not exist with FS.StoreData - that uses *unsigned*
32-bit values. It's also not a problem with Auristor servers as its
YFS.FetchData64 op uses unsigned 64-bit values.
This can be tested by cloning a git repo through an OpenAFS client to an
OpenAFS server and then doing "git status" on it from a Linux afs
client[1]. Provided the clone has a pack file that's in the 2G-4G range,
the git status will show errors like:
error: packfile .git/objects/pack/pack-5e813c51d12b6847bbc0fcd97c2bca66da50079c.pack does not match index
error: packfile .git/objects/pack/pack-5e813c51d12b6847bbc0fcd97c2bca66da50079c.pack does not match index
This can be observed in the server's FileLog with something like the

Try to avoid taking the RCU read lock when checking the validity of a
vnode's callback state. The only thing it's needed for is to pin the
parent volume's server list whilst we search it to find the record of the
server we're currently using to see if it has been reinitialised (ie. it
sent us a CB.InitCallBackState* RPC).
Do this by the following means:
(1) Keep an additional per-cell counter (fs_s_break) that's incremented
each time any of the fileservers in the cell reinitialises.
Since the new counter can be accessed without RCU from the vnode, we
can check that first - and only if it differs, get the RCU read lock
and check the volume's server list.
(2) Replace afs_get_s_break_rcu() with afs_check_server_good() which now
indicates whether the callback promise is still expected to be present
on the server. This does the checks as described in (1).
(3) Restructure afs_check_validity() to take account of the change in (2).
We can also get rid of the valid variable and just use the need_clear
variable with the addition of the afs_cb_break_no_promise reason.
(4) afs_check_validity() probably shouldn't be altering vnode->cb_v_break
and vnode->cb_s_break when it doesn't have cb_lock exclusively locked.
Move the change to vnode->cb_v_break to __afs_break_callback().
Delegate the change to vnode->cb_s_break to afs_select_fileserver()
and set vnode->cb_fs_s_break there also.
(5) afs_validate() no longer needs to get the RCU read lock around its
call to afs_check_validity() - and can skip the call entirely if we
don't have a promise.

Fix the coherency management of mmap'd data such that 3rd-party changes
become visible as soon as possible after the callback notification is
delivered by the fileserver. This is done by the following means:
(1) When we break a callback on a vnode specified by the CB.CallBack call
from the server, we queue a work item (vnode->cb_work) to go and
clobber all the PTEs mapping to that inode.
This causes the CPU to trip through the ->map_pages() and
->page_mkwrite() handlers if userspace attempts to access the page(s)
again.
(Ideally, this would be done in the service handler for CB.CallBack,
but the server is waiting for our reply before considering, and we
have a list of vnodes, all of which need breaking - and the process of
getting the mmap_lock and stripping the PTEs on all CPUs could be
quite slow.)
(2) Call afs_validate() from the ->map_pages() handler to check to see if
the file has changed and to get a new callback promise from the
server.
Also handle the fileserver telling us that it's dropping all callbacks,
possibly after it's been restarted by sending us a CB.InitCallBackState*
call by the following means:
(3) Maintain a per-cell list of afs files that are currently mmap'd
(cell->fs_open_mmaps).
(4) Add a work item to each server that is invoked if there are any open
mmaps when CB.InitCallBackState happens. This work item goes through
the aforementioned list and invokes the vnode->cb_work work item for
each one that is currently using this server.
This causes the PTEs to be cleared, causing ->map_pages() or
->page_mkwrite() to be called again, thereby calling afs_validate()
again.
I've chosen to simply strip the PTEs at the point of notification reception
rather than invalidate all the pages as well because (a) it's faster, (b)
we may get a notification for other reasons than the data being altered (in
which case we don't want to clobber the pagecache) and (c) we need to ask
the server to find out - and I don't want to wait for the reply before
holding up userspace.
This was tested using the attached test program:
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
size_t size = getpagesize();
unsigned char *p;
bool mod = (argc == 3);
int fd;
if (argc != 2 && argc != 3) {
fprintf(stderr, "Format: %s <file> [mod]\n", argv[0]);
exit(2);
}
fd = open(argv[1], mod ? O_RDWR : O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0) {
perror(argv[1]);
exit(1);
}
p = mmap(NULL, size, mod ? PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE : PROT_READ,
MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
perror("mmap");
exit(1);
}
for (;;) {
if (mod) {
p[0]++;
msync(p, size, MS_ASYNC);
fsync(fd);
}
printf("%02x", p[0]);
fflush(stdout);
sleep(1);
}
}
It runs in two modes: in one mode, it mmaps a file, then sits in a loop
reading the first byte, printing it and sleeping for a second; in the
second mode it mmaps a file, then sits in a loop incrementing the first
byte and flushing, then printing and sleeping.
Two instances of this program can be run on different machines, one doing
the reading and one doing the writing. The reader should see the changes
made by the writer, but without this patch, they aren't because validity
checking is being done lazily - only on entry to the filesystem.
Testing the InitCallBackState change is more complicated. The server has
to be taken offline, the saved callback state file removed and then the
server restarted whilst the reading-mode program continues to run. The
client machine then has to poke the server to trigger the InitCallBackState
call.

The AFS filesystem is currently triggering the silly-rename cleanup from
afs_d_revalidate() when it sees that a dentry has been changed by a third
party[1]. It should not be doing this as the cleanup includes deleting the
silly-rename target file on iput.
Fix this by removing the places in the d_revalidate handling that validate
anything other than the directory and the dirent. It probably should not
be looking to validate the target inode of the dentry also.
This includes removing the point in afs_d_revalidate() where the inode that
a dentry used to point to was marked as being deleted (AFS_VNODE_DELETED).
We don't know it got deleted. It could have been renamed or it could have
hard links remaining.
This was reproduced by cloning a git repo onto an afs volume on one
machine, switching to another machine and doing "git status", then
switching back to the first and doing "git status". The second status
would show weird output due to ".git/index" getting deleted by the above
mentioned mechanism.
A simpler way to do it is to do:
machine 1: touch a
machine 2: touch b; mv -f b a
machine 1: stat a
on an afs volume. The bug shows up as the stat failing with ENOENT and the
file server log showing that machine 1 deleted "a".

afs_d_revalidate() should only be validating the directory entry it is
given and the directory to which that belongs; it shouldn't be validating
the inode/vnode to which that dentry points. Besides, validation need to
be done even if we don't call afs_d_revalidate() - which might be the case
if we're starting from a file descriptor.
In order for afs_d_revalidate() to be fixed, validation points must be
added in some other places. Certain directory operations, such as
afs_unlink(), already check this, but not all and not all file operations
either.
Note that the validation of a vnode not only checks to see if the
attributes we have are correct, but also gets a promise from the server to
notify us if that file gets changed by a third party.
Add the following checks:
- Check the vnode we're going to make a hard link to.
- Check the vnode we're going to move/rename.
- Check the vnode we're going to read from.
- Check the vnode we're going to write to.
- Check the vnode we're going to sync.
- Check the vnode we're going to make a mapped page writable for.
Some of these aren't strictly necessary as we're going to perform a server
operation that might get the attributes anyway from which we can determine
if something changed - though it might not get us a callback promise.

There's a loop in afs_extend_writeback() that adds extra pages to a write
we want to make to improve the efficiency of the writeback by making it
larger. This loop stops, however, if we hit a page we can't write back
from immediately, but it doesn't get rid of the page ref we speculatively
acquired.
This was caused by the removal of the cleanup loop when the code switched
from using find_get_pages_contig() to xarray scanning as the latter only
gets a single page at a time, not a batch.
Fix this by putting the page on a ref on an early break from the loop.
Unfortunately, we can't just add that page to the pagevec we're employing
as we'll go through that and add those pages to the RPC call.
This was found by the generic/074 test. It leaks ~4GiB of RAM each time it
is run - which can be observed with "top".

The afs_read objects created by afs_req_issue_op() get leaked because
afs_alloc_read() returns a ref and then afs_fetch_data() gets its own ref
which is released when the operation completes, but the initial ref is
never released.
Fix this by discarding the initial ref at the end of afs_req_issue_op().
This leak also covered another bug whereby a ref isn't got on the key
attached to the read record by afs_req_issue_op(). This isn't a problem as
long as the afs_read req never goes away...
Fix this by calling key_get() in afs_req_issue_op().
This was found by the generic/074 test. It leaks a bunch of kmalloc-192
objects each time it is run, which can be observed by watching
/proc/slabinfo.

We added CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING in 2015, and soon after turned it
off in Fedora and RHEL8. Several other distros have followed suit.
I've heard of one problem in all that time: Someone migrated from an
older distro that supported "-o mand" to one that didn't, and the host
had a fstab entry with "mand" in it which broke on reboot. They didn't
actually _use_ mandatory locking so they just removed the mount option
and moved on.
This patch rips out mandatory locking support wholesale from the kernel,
along with the Kconfig option and the Documentation file. It also
changes the mount code to ignore the "mand" mount option instead of
erroring out, and to throw a big, ugly warning.

Variable ret is set to -ENOENT and -ENOMEM but this value is never
read as it is overwritten or not used later on, hence it is a
redundant assignment and can be removed.

- In afs_rename(), -ENOMEM should be placed in op->error instead of ret,
rather than the assignment being removed entirely. afs_put_operation()
will pick it up from there and return it.
- If afs_sillyrename() fails, its error code should be placed in op->error

To quote Alexey[1]:
I was adding custom tracepoint to the kernel, grabbed full F34 kernel
.config, disabled modules and booted whole shebang as VM kernel.
Then did
perf record -a -e ...
It crashed:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x435f5346592e4243: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
CPU: 1 PID: 842 Comm: cat Not tainted 5.12.6+ #26
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-1.fc33 04/01/2014
RIP: 0010:t_show+0x22/0xd0
Then reproducer was narrowed to
# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/printk_formats
Original F34 kernel with modules didn't crash.
So I started to disable options and after disabling AFS everything
started working again.
The root cause is that AFS was placing char arrays content into a
section full of _pointers_ to strings with predictable consequences.
Non canonical address 435f5346592e4243 is "CB.YFS_" which came from
CM_NAME macro.
Steps to reproduce:
CONFIG_AFS=y
CONFIG_TRACING=y
# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/printk_formats
Fix this by the following means:
(1) Add enum->string translation tables in the event header with the AFS
and YFS cache/callback manager operations listed by RPC operation ID.
(2) Modify the afs_cb_call tracepoint to print the string from the
translation table rather than using the string at the afs_call name
pointer.
(3) Switch translation table depending on the service we're being accessed
as (AFS or YFS) in the tracepoint print clause. Will this cause
problems to userspace utilities?
Note that the symbolic representation of the YFS service ID isn't
available to this header, so I've put it in as a number. I'm not sure
if this is the best way to do this.
(4) Remove the name wrangling (CM_NAME) macro and put the names directly
into the afs_call_type structs in cmservice.c.

Merge tag 'netfs-fixes-20210621' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs
Pull netfs fixes from David Howells:
"This contains patches to fix netfs_write_begin() and afs_write_end()
in the following ways:
(1) In netfs_write_begin(), extract the decision about whether to skip
a page out to its own helper and have that clear around the region
to be written, but not clear that region. This requires the
filesystem to patch it up afterwards if the hole doesn't get
completely filled.
(2) Use offset_in_thp() in (1) rather than manually calculating the
offset into the page.
(3) Due to (1), afs_write_end() now needs to handle short data write
into the page by generic_perform_write(). I've adopted an
analogous approach to ceph of just returning 0 in this case and
letting the caller go round again.
It also adds a note that (in the future) the len parameter may extend
beyond the page allocated. This is because the page allocation is
deferred to write_begin() and that gets to decide what size of THP to
allocate."

netfs: fix test for whether we can skip read when writing beyond EOF
afs: Fix afs_write_end() to handle short writes
Fix afs_write_end() to correctly handle a short copy into the intended
write region of the page. Two things are necessary:
(1) If the page is not up to date, then we should just return 0
(ie. indicating a zero-length copy). The loop in
generic_perform_write() will go around again, possibly breaking up the
iterator into discrete chunks[1].
This is analogous to commit b9de313cf0
for ceph.
(2) The page should not have been set uptodate if it wasn't completely set
up by netfs_write_begin() (this will be fixed in the next patch), so
we need to set uptodate here in such a case.
Also remove the assertion that was checking that the page was set uptodate
since it's now set uptodate if it wasn't already a few lines above. The
assertion was from when uptodate was set elsewhere.
Changes:
v3: Remove the handling of len exceeding the end of the page.

In commit e87b03f583 ("afs: Prepare for use of THPs"), the return
value for afs_write_back_from_locked_page was changed from a number
of pages to a length in bytes. The loop in afs_writepages_region uses
the return value to compute the index that will be used to find dirty
pages in the next iteration, but treats it as a number of pages and
wrongly multiplies it by PAGE_SIZE. This gives a very large index value,
potentially skipping any dirty data that was not covered in the first
pass, which is limited to 256M.
This causes fsync(), and indirectly close(), to only do a partial
writeback of a large file's dirty data. The rest is eventually written
back by background threads after dirty_expire_centisecs.

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.

Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
"Use the new netfs lib.
Begin the process of overhauling the use of the fscache API by AFS and
the introduction of support for features such as Transparent Huge
Pages (THPs).
- Add some support for THPs, including using core VM helper functions
to find details of pages.
- Use the ITER_XARRAY I/O iterator to mediate access to the pagecache
as this handles THPs and doesn't require allocation of large bvec
arrays.
- Delegate address_space read/pre-write I/O methods for AFS to the
netfs helper library. A method is provided to the library that
allows it to issue a read against the server.
This includes a change in use for PG_fscache (it now indicates a
DIO write in progress from the marked page), so a number of waits
need to be deployed for it.
- Split the core AFS writeback function to make it easier to modify
in future patches to handle writing to the cache. [This might
feasibly make more sense moved out into my fscache-iter branch].
I've tested these with "xfstests -g quick" against an AFS volume
(xfstests needs patching to make it work). With this, AFS without a
cache passes all expected xfstests; with a cache, there's an extra
failure, but that's also there before these patches. Fixing that
probably requires a greater overhaul (as can be found on my
fscache-iter branch, but that's for a later time).
Thanks should go to Marc Dionne and Jeff Altman of AuriStor for
exercising the patches in their test farm also"

afs_listxattr() lists all the available special afs xattrs (i.e. those in
the "afs.*" space), no matter what type of server we're dealing with. But
OpenAFS servers, for example, cannot deal with some of the extra-capable
attributes that AuriStor (YFS) servers provide. Unfortunately, the
presence of the afs.yfs.* attributes causes errors[1] for anything that
tries to read them if the server is of the wrong type.
Fix the problem by removing afs_listxattr() so that none of the special
xattrs are listed (AFS doesn't support xattrs). It does mean, however,
that getfattr won't list them, though they can still be accessed with
getxattr() and setxattr().
This can be tested with something like:
getfattr -d -m ".*" /afs/example.com/path/to/file
With this change, none of the afs.* attributes should be visible.

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.
