2019-01-10afs: Use struct_size() in kzalloc()Gustavo A. R. Silva
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example: struct foo { int stuff; void *entry[]; }; instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL); This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

2018-10-24afs: Probe multiple fileservers simultaneouslyDavid Howells
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.

2018-05-14afs: Fix refcounting in callback registrationDavid Howells
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 might be replaced at any time and the object thrown away. Fix this by: (1) Put a lock on the afs_server_list struct that can be used to 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 the pointer.

2018-02-06afs: Fix server list handlingDavid Howells
Fix server list handling in the following ways: (1) In afs_alloc_volume(), remove duplicate server list build code. This was already done by afs_alloc_server_list() which afs_alloc_volume() previously called. This just results in twice as many VL RPCs. (2) In afs_deliver_vl_get_entry_by_name_u(), use the number of server records indicated by ->nServers in the UVLDB record returned by the VL.GetEntryByNameU RPC call rather than scanning all NMAXNSERVERS slots. Unused slots may contain garbage. (3) In afs_alloc_server_list(), don't stop converting a UVLDB record into a server list just because we can't look up one of the servers. Just skip that server and go on to the next. If we can't look up any of the servers then we'll fail at the end. Without this patch, an attempt to view the umich.edu root cell using something like "ls /afs/umich.edu" on a dynamic root (future patch) mount or an autocell mount will result in ENOMEDIUM. The failure is due to kafs not stopping after nServers'worth of records have been read, but then trying to access a server with a garbage UUID and getting an error, which aborts the server list build.

2017-11-17afs: Fix file lockingDavid Howells
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.

2017-11-13afs: Overhaul volume and server record caching and fileserver rotationDavid Howells
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. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
