f642404a04 afs: Make vnode->cb_interest RCU safe
Use RCU-based freeing for afs_cb_interest struct objects and use RCU on
vnode->cb_interest.  Use that change to allow afs_check_validity() to use
read_seqbegin_or_lock() instead of read_seqlock_excl().

This also requires the caller of afs_check_validity() to hold the RCU read
lock across the call.

20b8391fff afs: Make some RPC operations non-interruptible
Make certain RPC operations non-interruptible, including:

 (*) Set attributes
 (*) Store data

     We don't want to get interrupted during a flush on close, flush on
     unlock, writeback or an inode update, leaving us in a state where we
     still need to do the writeback or update.

 (*) Extend lock
 (*) Release lock

     We don't want to get lock extension interrupted as the file locks on
     the server are time-limited.  Interruption during lock release is less
     of an issue since the lock is time-limited, but it's better to
     complete the release to avoid a several-minute wait to recover it.

     *Setting* the lock isn't a problem if it's interrupted since we can
      just return to the user and tell them they were interrupted - at
      which point they can elect to retry.

 (*) Silly unlink

     We want to remove silly unlink files if we can, rather than leaving
     them for the salvager to clear up.

Note that whilst these calls are no longer interruptible, they do have
timeouts on them, so if the server stops responding the call will fail with
something like ETIME or ECONNRESET.

Without this, the following:

	kAFS: Unexpected error from FS.StoreData -512

appears in dmesg when a pending store data gets interrupted and some
processes may just hang.

Additionally, make the code that checks/updates the server record ignore
failure due to interruption if the main call is uninterruptible and if the
server has an address list.  The next op will check it again since the
expiration time on the old list has past.

51eba99970 afs: Fix "kAFS: AFS vnode with undefined type 0"
Under some circumstances afs_select_fileserver() can return without setting
an error in fc->error.  The problem is in the no_more_servers segment where
the accumulated errors from attempts to contact various servers are
integrated into an afs_error-type variable 'e'.  The resultant error code
is, however, then abandoned.

Fix this by getting the error out of e.error and putting it in 'error' so
that the next part will store it into fc->error.

Not doing this causes a report like the following:

    kAFS: AFS vnode with undefined type 0
    kAFS: A=0 m=0 s=0 v=0
    kAFS: vnode 20000025:1:1

because the code following the server selection loop then sees what it
thinks is a successful invocation because fc.error is 0.  However, it can't
apply the status record because it's all zeros.

The report is followed on the first instance with a trace looking something
like:

4584ae96ae afs: Fix missing net error handling
kAFS can be given certain network errors (EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and
ERFKILL) that it doesn't handle in its server/address rotation algorithms.
They cause the probing and rotation to abort immediately rather than
rotating.

Fix this by:

 (1) Abstracting out the error prioritisation from the VL and FS rotation
     algorithms into a common function and expand usage into the server
     probing code.

     When multiple errors are available, this code selects the one we'd
     prefer to return.

 (2) Add handling for EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and ERFKILL.

3bf0fb6f33 afs: Probe multiple fileservers simultaneously
Send probes to all the unprobed fileservers in a fileserver list on all
addresses simultaneously in an attempt to find out the fastest route whilst
not getting stuck for 20s on any server or address that we don't get a
reply from.

This alleviates the problem whereby attempting to access a new server can
take a long time because the rotation algorithm ends up rotating through
all servers and addresses until it finds one that responds.

3b6492df41 afs: Increase to 64-bit volume ID and 96-bit vnode ID for YFS
Increase the sizes of the volume ID to 64 bits and the vnode ID (inode
number equivalent) to 96 bits to allow the support of YFS.

This requires the iget comparator to check the vnode->fid rather than i_ino
and i_generation as i_ino is not sufficiently capacious.  It also requires
this data to be placed into the vnode cache key for fscache.

For the moment, just discard the top 32 bits of the vnode ID when returning

e7f680f45b afs: Improve FS server rotation error handling
Improve the error handling in FS server rotation by:

 (1) Cache the latest useful error value for the fs operation as a whole in
     struct afs_fs_cursor separately from the error cached in the
     afs_addr_cursor struct.  The one in the address cursor gets clobbered
     occasionally.  Copy over the error to the fs operation only when it's
     something we'd be interested in passing to userspace.

 (2) Make it so that EDESTADDRREQ is the default that is seen only if no
     addresses are available to be accessed.

 (3) When calling utility functions, such as checking a volume status or
     probing a fileserver, don't let a successful result clobber the cached
     error in the cursor; instead, stash the result in a temporary variable
     until it has been assessed.

 (4) Don't return ETIMEDOUT or ETIME if a better error, such as
     ENETUNREACH, is already cached.

 (5) On leaving the rotation loop, turn any remote abort code into a more
     useful error than ECONNABORTED.

1a025028d4 rxrpc: Fix handling of call quietly cancelled out on server
Sometimes an in-progress call will stop responding on the fileserver when
the fileserver quietly cancels the call with an internally marked abort
(RX_CALL_DEAD), without sending an ABORT to the client.

This causes the client's call to eventually expire from lack of incoming
packets directed its way, which currently leads to it being cancelled
locally with ETIME.  Note that it's not currently clear as to why this
happens as it's really hard to reproduce.

The rotation policy implement by kAFS, however, doesn't differentiate
between ETIME meaning we didn't get any response from the server and ETIME
meaning the call got cancelled mid-flow.  The latter leads to an oops when
fetching data as the rotation partially resets the afs_read descriptor,
which can result in a cleared page pointer being dereferenced because that
page has already been filled.

Handle this by the following means:

 (1) Set a flag on a call when we receive a packet for it.

 (2) Store the highest packet serial number so far received for a call
     (bearing in mind this may wrap).

 (3) If, when the "not received anything recently" timeout expires on a
     call, we've received at least one packet for a call and the connection
     as a whole has received packets more recently than that call, then
     cancel the call locally with ECONNRESET rather than ETIME.

     This indicates that the call was definitely in progress on the server.

 (4) In kAFS, if the rotation algorithm sees ECONNRESET rather than ETIME,
     don't try the next server, but rather abort the call.

     This avoids the oops as we don't try to reuse the afs_read struct.
     Rather, as-yet ungotten pages will be reread at a later data.

Also:

 (5) Add an rxrpc tracepoint to log detection of the call being reset.

Without this, I occasionally see an oops like the following:

3d9fa91161 afs: Fix VNOVOL handling in address rotation
If a volume location record lists multiple file servers for a volume, then
it's possible that due to a misconfiguration or a changing configuration
that one of the file servers doesn't know about it yet and will abort
VNOVOL.  Currently, the rotation algorithm will stop with EREMOTEIO.

Fix this by moving on to try the next server if VNOVOL is returned.  Once
all the servers have been tried and the record rechecked, the algorithm
will stop with EREMOTEIO or ENOMEDIUM.

d4a96bec7a afs: Fix refcounting in callback registration
The refcounting on afs_cb_interest struct objects in
afs_register_server_cb_interest() is wrong as it uses the server list
entry's call back interest pointer without regard for the fact that it

     mediate access to the callback interest pointers in the servers array.

 (2) Keep a ref on the callback interest that we get from the entry.

 (3) Dropping the old reference held by vnode->cb_interest if we replace

0fafdc9f88 afs: Fix file locking
Fix the AFS file locking whereby the use of the big kernel lock (which
could be slept with) was replaced by a spinlock (which couldn't).  The
problem is that the AFS code was doing stuff inside the critical section
that might call schedule(), so this is a broken transformation.

Fix this by the following means:

 (1) Use a state machine with a proper state that can only be changed under
     the spinlock rather than using a collection of bit flags.

 (2) Cache the key used for the lock and the lock type in the afs_vnode
     struct so that the manager work function doesn't have to refer to a
     file_lock struct that's been dequeued.  This makes signal handling
     safer.

 (4) Move the unlock from afs_do_unlk() to afs_fl_release_private() which
     means that unlock is achieved in other circumstances too.

 (5) Unlock the file on the server before taking the next conflicting lock.

Also change:

 (1) Check the permits on a file before actually trying the lock.

 (2) fsync the file before effecting an explicit unlock operation.  We
     don't fsync if the lock is erased otherwise as we might not be in a
     context where we can actually do that.

Further fixes:

 (1) Fixed-fileserver address rotation is made to work.  It's only used by
     the locking functions, so couldn't be tested before.

d2ddc776a4 afs: Overhaul volume and server record caching and fileserver rotation
The current code assumes that volumes and servers are per-cell and are
never shared, but this is not enforced, and, indeed, public cells do exist
that are aliases of each other.  Further, an organisation can, say, set up
a public cell and a private cell with overlapping, but not identical, sets
of servers.  The difference is purely in the database attached to the VL
servers.

The current code will malfunction if it sees a server in two cells as it
assumes global address -> server record mappings and that each server is in
just one cell.

Further, each server may have multiple addresses - and may have addresses
of different families (IPv4 and IPv6, say).

To this end, the following structural changes are made:

 (1) Server record management is overhauled:

     (a) Server records are made independent of cell.  The namespace keeps
     	 track of them, volume records have lists of them and each vnode
     	 has a server on which its callback interest currently resides.

     (b) The cell record no longer keeps a list of servers known to be in
     	 that cell.

     (c) The server records are now kept in a flat list because there's no
     	 single address to sort on.

     (d) Server records are now keyed by their UUID within the namespace.

     (e) The addresses for a server are obtained with the VL.GetAddrsU
     	 rather than with VL.GetEntryByName, using the server's UUID as a
     	 parameter.

     (f) Cached server records are garbage collected after a period of
     	 non-use and are counted out of existence before purging is allowed
     	 to complete.  This protects the work functions against rmmod.

     (g) The servers list is now in /proc/fs/afs/servers.

 (2) Volume record management is overhauled:

     (a) An RCU-replaceable server list is introduced.  This tracks both
     	 servers and their coresponding callback interests.

     (b) The superblock is now keyed on cell record and numeric volume ID.

     (c) The volume record is now tied to the superblock which mounts it,
     	 and is activated when mounted and deactivated when unmounted.
     	 This makes it easier to handle the cache cookie without causing a
     	 double-use in fscache.

     (d) The volume record is loaded from the VLDB using VL.GetEntryByNameU
     	 to get the server UUID list.

     (e) The volume name is updated if it is seen to have changed when the
     	 volume is updated (the update is keyed on the volume ID).

 (3) The vlocation record is got rid of and VLDB records are no longer
     cached.  Sufficient information is stored in the volume record, though
     an update to a volume record is now no longer shared between related
     volumes (volumes come in bundles of three: R/W, R/O and backup).

and the following procedural changes are made:

 (1) The fileserver cursor introduced previously is now fleshed out and
     used to iterate over fileservers and their addresses.

 (2) Volume status is checked during iteration, and the server list is
     replaced if a change is detected.

 (3) Server status is checked during iteration, and the address list is
     replaced if a change is detected.

 (4) The abort code is saved into the address list cursor and -ECONNABORTED
     returned in afs_make_call() if a remote abort happened rather than
     translating the abort into an error message.  This allows actions to
     be taken depending on the abort code more easily.

     (a) If a VMOVED abort is seen then this is handled by rechecking the
     	 volume and restarting the iteration.

     (b) If a VBUSY, VRESTARTING or VSALVAGING abort is seen then this is
         handled by sleeping for a short period and retrying and/or trying
         other servers that might serve that volume.  A message is also
         displayed once until the condition has cleared.

     (c) If a VOFFLINE abort is seen, then this is handled as VBUSY for the
     	 moment.

     (d) If a VNOVOL abort is seen, the volume is rechecked in the VLDB to
     	 see if it has been deleted; if not, the fileserver is probably
     	 indicating that the volume couldn't be attached and needs
     	 salvaging.

     (e) If statfs() sees one of these aborts, it does not sleep, but
     	 rather returns an error, so as not to block the umount program.

 (5) The fileserver iteration functions in vnode.c are now merged into
     their callers and more heavily macroised around the cursor.  vnode.c
     is removed.

 (6) Operations on a particular vnode are serialised on that vnode because
     the server will lock that vnode whilst it operates on it, so a second
     op sent will just have to wait.

 (7) Fileservers are probed with FS.GetCapabilities before being used.
     This is where service upgrade will be done.

 (8) A callback interest on a fileserver is set up before an FS operation
     is performed and passed through to afs_make_call() so that it can be
     set on the vnode if the operation returns a callback.  The callback
     interest is passed through to afs_iget() also so that it can be set
     there too.

In general, record updating is done on an as-needed basis when we try to
access servers, volumes or vnodes rather than offloading it to work items
and special threads.

Notes:

 (1) Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can be added
     back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998).

 (2) VBUSY is retried forever for the moment at intervals of 1s.

 (3) /proc/fs/afs/<cell>/servers no longer exists.
