[ Upstream commit 07a10767853adcbdbf436dc91393b729b52c4e81 ]

The AFS directory format structure, union afs_xdr_dir_block::meta, has too
many alloc counter slots declared and so pushes the hash table along and
over the data.  This doesn't cause a problem at the moment because I'm
currently ignoring the hash table and only using the correct number of
alloc_ctrs in the code anyway.  In future, however, I should start using
the hash table to try and speed up afs_lookup().

Fix this by using the correct constant to declare the counter array.

<title>afs: Don't cross .backup mountpoint from backup volume</title>

commit 29be9100aca2915fab54b5693309bc42956542e5 upstream.

Don't cross a mountpoint that explicitly specifies a backup volume
(target is &lt;vol&gt;.backup) when starting from a backup volume.

It it not uncommon to mount a volume's backup directly in the volume
itself.  This can cause tools that are not paying attention to get
into a loop mounting the volume onto itself as they attempt to
traverse the tree, leading to a variety of problems.

This doesn't prevent the general case of loops in a sequence of
mountpoints, but addresses a common special case in the same way
as other afs clients.

[ Upstream commit 0aec3847d044273733285dcff90afda89ad461d2 ]

This reverts commit 57e9d49c54528c49b8bffe6d99d782ea051ea534.

This undoes the hiding of .__afsXXXX silly-rename files.  The problem with
hiding them is that rm can't then manually delete them.

This also reverts commit 5f7a07646655fb4108da527565dcdc80124b14c4 ("afs: Fix
endless loop in directory parsing") as that's a bugfix for the above.

[ Upstream commit 5f7a07646655fb4108da527565dcdc80124b14c4 ]

If a directory has a block with only ".__afsXXXX" files in it (from
uncompleted silly-rename), these .__afsXXXX files are skipped but without
advancing the file position in the dir_context.  This leads to
afs_dir_iterate() repeating the block again and again.

Fix this by making the code that skips the .__afsXXXX file also manually
advance the file position.

The symptoms are a soft lookup:

        watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 52s! [check:5737]
        ...
        RIP: 0010:afs_dir_iterate_block+0x39/0x1fd

[ Upstream commit 1702e0654ca9a7bcd7c7619c8a5004db58945b71 ]

David Howells says:

 (5) afs_find_server().

     There could be a lot of servers in the list and each server can have
     multiple addresses, so I think this would be better with an exclusive
     second pass.

     The server list isn't likely to change all that often, but when it does
     change, there's a good chance several servers are going to be
     added/removed one after the other.  Further, this is only going to be
     used for incoming cache management/callback requests from the server,
     which hopefully aren't going to happen too often - but it is remotely
     drivable.

 (6) afs_find_server_by_uuid().

     Similarly to (5), there could be a lot of servers to search through, but
     they are in a tree not a flat list, so it should be faster to process.
     Again, it's not likely to change that often and, again, when it does
     change it's likely to involve multiple changes.  This can be driven
     remotely by an incoming cache management request but is mostly going to
     be driven by setting up or reconfiguring a volume's server list -
     something that also isn't likely to happen often.

Make the "seq" counter odd on the 2nd pass, otherwise read_seqbegin_or_lock()
never takes the lock.

[ Upstream commit 57e9d49c54528c49b8bffe6d99d782ea051ea534 ]

There appears to be a race between silly-rename files being created/removed
and various userspace tools iterating over the contents of a directory,
leading to such errors as:

	find: './kernel/.tmp_cpio_dir/include/dt-bindings/reset/.__afs2080': No such file or directory
	tar: ./include/linux/greybus/.__afs3C95: File removed before we read it

when building a kernel.

Fix afs_readdir() so that it doesn't return .__afsXXXX silly-rename files
to userspace.  This doesn't stop them being looked up directly by name as
we need to be able to look them up from within the kernel as part of the
silly-rename algorithm.

There appears to be a race between silly-rename files being created/removed
and various userspace tools iterating over the contents of a directory,
leading to such errors as:

	find: './kernel/.tmp_cpio_dir/include/dt-bindings/reset/.__afs2080': No such file or directory
	tar: ./include/linux/greybus/.__afs3C95: File removed before we read it

[ Upstream commit a9e01ac8c5ff32669119c40dfdc9e80eb0b7d7aa ]

In afs_update_cell(), ret is the result of the DNS lookup and the errors
are to be handled by a switch - however, the value gets clobbered in
between by setting it to -ENOMEM in case afs_alloc_vlserver_list()
fails.

Fix this by moving the setting of -ENOMEM into the error handling for
OOM failure.  Further, only do it if we don't have an alternative error
to return.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.  Based
on a patch from Anastasia Belova [1].

<title>afs: Fix dynamic root lookup DNS check</title>

[ Upstream commit 74cef6872ceaefb5b6c5c60641371ea28702d358 ]

In the afs dynamic root directory, the -&gt;lookup() function does a DNS check
on the cell being asked for and if the DNS upcall reports an error it will
report an error back to userspace (typically ENOENT).

However, if a failed DNS upcall returns a new-style result, it will return
a valid result, with the status field set appropriately to indicate the
type of failure - and in that case, dns_query() doesn't return an error and
we let stat() complete with no error - which can cause confusion in
userspace as subsequent calls that trigger d_automount then fail with
ENOENT.

Fix this by checking the status result from a valid dns_query() and
returning an error if it indicates a failure.

[ Upstream commit 71f8b55bc30e82d6355e07811213d847981a32e2 ]

Fix the afs dynamic root's d_delete function to always delete unused
dentries rather than only deleting them if they're positive.  With things
as they stand upstream, negative dentries stemming from failed DNS lookups
stick around preventing retries.
