When it's probing all of a fileserver's interfaces to find which one is
best to use, afs_do_probe_fileserver() takes a lock on the server record
and notes the pointer to the address list.

It doesn't, however, pin the address list, so as soon as it drops the
lock, there's nothing to stop the address list from being freed under
us.

Fix this by taking a ref on the address list inside the locked section
and dropping it at the end of the function.

Fix the handling of signals in client rxrpc calls made by the afs
filesystem.  Ignore signals completely, leaving call abandonment or
connection loss to be detected by timeouts inside AF_RXRPC.

Allowing a filesystem call to be interrupted after the entire request has
been transmitted and an abort sent means that the server may or may not
have done the action - and we don't know.  It may even be worse than that
for older servers.

<id>dde9f095583b3f375ba23979045ee10dfcebec2f</id>
<content type='text'>
When an AFS service handler function aborts a call, AF_RXRPC marks the call
as complete - which means that it's not going to get any more packets from
the receiver.  This is a problem because reception of the final ACK is what
triggers afs_deliver_to_call() to drop the final ref on the afs_call
object.

Instead, aborted AFS service calls may then just sit around waiting for
ever or until they're displaced by a new call on the same connection
channel or a connection-level abort.

Fix this by calling afs_set_call_complete() to finalise the afs_call struct
representing the call.

However, we then need to drop the ref that stops the call from being
deallocated.  We can do this in afs_set_call_complete(), as the work queue
is holding a separate ref of its own, but then we shouldn't do it in
afs_process_async_call() and afs_delete_async_call().

call-&gt;drop_ref is set to indicate that a ref needs dropping for a call and
this is dealt with when we transition a call to AFS_CALL_COMPLETE.

But then we also need to get rid of the ref that pins an asynchronous
client call.  We can do this by the same mechanism, setting call-&gt;drop_ref
for an async client call too.

We can also get rid of call-&gt;incoming since nothing ever sets it and only
one thing ever checks it (futilely).


A trace of the rxrpc_call and afs_call struct ref counting looks like:

Fix the interruptibility of kernel-initiated client calls so that they're
either only interruptible when they're waiting for a call slot to come
available or they're not interruptible at all.  Either way, they're not
interruptible during transmission.

This should help prevent StoreData calls from being interrupted when
writeback is in progress.  It doesn't, however, handle interruption during
the receive phase.

Userspace-initiated calls are still interruptable.  After the signal has
been handled, sendmsg() will return the amount of data copied out of the
buffer and userspace can perform another sendmsg() call to continue
transmission.

Fix the interruptibility of kernel-initiated client calls so that they're
either only interruptible when they're waiting for a call slot to come
available or they're not interruptible at all.  Either way, they're not
interruptible during transmission.

This should help prevent StoreData calls from being interrupted when
writeback is in progress.  It doesn't, however, handle interruption during
the receive phase.

Userspace-initiated calls are still interruptable.  After the signal has
been handled, sendmsg() will return the amount of data copied out of the
buffer and userspace can perform another sendmsg() call to continue
transmission.

Fixes: bc5e3a546d55 ("rxrpc: Use MSG_WAITALL to tell sendmsg() to temporarily ignore signals")

<title>afs: Use kfree_rcu() instead of casting kfree() to rcu_callback_t</title>

afs_put_addrlist() casts kfree() to rcu_callback_t. Apart from being wrong
in theory, this might also blow up when people start enforcing function
types via compiler instrumentation, and it means the rcu_head has to be
first in struct afs_addr_list.

Use kfree_rcu() instead, it's simpler and more correct.

Pull vfs file system parameter updates from Al Viro:
 "Saner fs_parser.c guts and data structures. The system-wide registry
  of syntax types (string/enum/int32/oct32/.../etc.) is gone and so is
  the horror switch() in fs_parse() that would have to grow another case
  every time something got added to that system-wide registry.

  New syntax types can be added by filesystems easily now, and their
  namespace is that of functions - not of system-wide enum members. IOW,
  they can be shared or kept private and if some turn out to be widely
  useful, we can make them common library helpers, etc., without having
  to do anything whatsoever to fs_parse() itself.

  And we already get that kind of requests - the thing that finally
  pushed me into doing that was "oh, and let's add one for timeouts -
  things like 15s or 2h". If some filesystem really wants that, let them
  do it. Without somebody having to play gatekeeper for the variants
  blessed by direct support in fs_parse(), TYVM.

  Quite a bit of boilerplate is gone. And IMO the data structures make a
  lot more sense now. -200LoC, while we are at it"
