Adjust the fileserver rotation algorithm so that if we've tried all the
addresses on a server (cumulatively over multiple operations) until we've
run out of untried addresses, immediately reprobe all that server's
interfaces and retry the op at least once before we move onto the next
server.

Don't use the running state for fileserver probes to make decisions about
which server to use as the state is cleared at the start of a probe and
also intermediate values might be misleading.
Instead, add a separate 'latest known' rtt in the afs_server struct and a
flag to indicate if the server is known to be responding and update these
as and when we know what to change them to.

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.

Put in the first phase of cell alias detection. This part handles alias
detection for cells that have root.cell volumes (which is expected to be
likely).
When a cell becomes newly active, it is probed for its root.cell volume,
and if it has one, this volume is compared against other root.cell volumes
to find out if the list of fileserver UUIDs have any in common - and if
that's the case, do the address lists of those fileservers have any
addresses in common. If they do, the new cell is adjudged to be an alias
of the old cell and the old cell is used instead.
Comparing is aided by the server list in struct afs_server_list being
sorted in UUID order and the addresses in the fileserver address lists
being sorted in address order.
The cell then retains the afs_volume object for the root.cell volume, even
if it's not mounted for future alias checking.
This necessary because:
(1) Whilst fileservers have UUIDs that are meant to be globally unique, in
practice they are not because cells get cloned without changing the
UUIDs - so afs_server records need to be per cell.
(2) Sometimes the DNS is used to make cell aliases - but if we don't know
they're the same, we may end up with multiple superblocks and multiple
afs_server records for the same thing, impairing our ability to
deliver callback notifications of third party changes
(3) The fileserver RPC API doesn't contain the cell name, so it can't tell
us which cell it's notifying and can't see that a change made to to
one cell should notify the same client that's also accessed as the
other cell.

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.

When an AFS client accesses a file, it receives a limited-duration callback
promise that the server will notify it if another client changes a file.
This callback duration can be a few hours in length.
If a client mounts a volume and then an application prevents it from being
unmounted, say by chdir'ing into it, but then does nothing for some time,
the rxrpc_peer record will expire and rxrpc-level keepalive will cease.
If there is NAT or a firewall between the client and the server, the route
back for the server may close after a comparatively short duration, meaning
that attempts by the server to notify the client may then bounce.
The client, however, may (so far as it knows) still have a valid unexpired
promise and will then rely on its cached data and will not see changes made
on the server by a third party until it incidentally rechecks the status or
the promise needs renewal.
To deal with this, the client needs to regularly probe the server. This
has two effects: firstly, it keeps a route open back for the server, and
secondly, it causes the server to disgorge any notifications that got
queued up because they couldn't be sent.
Fix this by adding a mechanism to emit regular probes.
Two levels of probing are made available: Under normal circumstances the
'slow' queue will be used for a fileserver - this just probes the preferred
address once every 5 mins or so; however, if server fails to respond to any
probes, the server will shift to the 'fast' queue from which all its
interfaces will be probed every 30s. When it finally responds, the record
will switch back to the slow queue.
Further notes:
(1) Probing is now no longer driven from the fileserver rotation
algorithm.
(2) Probes are dispatched to all interfaces on a fileserver when that an
afs_server object is set up to record it.
(3) The afs_server object is removed from the probe queues when we start
to probe it. afs_is_probing_server() returns true if it's not listed
- ie. it's undergoing probing.
(4) The afs_server object is added back on to the probe queue when the
final outstanding probe completes, but the probed_at time is set when
we're about to launch a probe so that it's not dependent on the probe
duration.
(5) The timer and the work item added for this must be handed a count on
net->servers_outstanding, which they hand on or release. This makes
sure that network namespace cleanup waits for them.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.
