[ Upstream commit 1d0e850a49a5b56f8f3cb51e74a11e2fedb96be6 ]

Fix cell removal by inserting a more final state than AFS_CELL_FAILED that
indicates that the cell has been unpublished in case the manager is already
requeued and will go through again.  The new AFS_CELL_REMOVED state will
just immediately leave the manager function.

Going through a second time in the AFS_CELL_FAILED state will cause it to
try to remove the cell again, potentially leading to the proc list being
removed.

[ Upstream commit 286377f6bdf71568a4cf07104fe44006ae0dba6d ]

When the afs module is removed, one of the things that has to be done is to
purge the cell database.  afs_cell_purge() cancels the management timer and
then starts the cell manager work item to do the purging.  This does a
single run through and then assumes that all cells are now purged - but
this is no longer the case.

With the introduction of alias detection, a later cell in the database can
now be holding an active count on an earlier cell (cell-&gt;alias_of).  The
purge scan passes by the earlier cell first, but this can't be got rid of
until it has discarded the alias.  Ordinarily, afs_unuse_cell() would
handle this by setting the management timer to trigger another pass - but
afs_set_cell_timer() doesn't do anything if the namespace is being removed
(net-&gt;live == false).  rmmod then hangs in the wait on cells_outstanding in
afs_cell_purge().

Fix this by making afs_set_cell_timer() directly queue the cell manager if
net-&gt;live is false.  This causes additional management passes.

Queueing the cell manager increments cells_outstanding to make sure the
wait won't complete until all cells are destroyed.

<title>afs: Fix cell refcounting by splitting the usage counter</title>

[ Upstream commit 88c853c3f5c0a07c5db61b494ee25152535cfeee ]

Management of the lifetime of afs_cell struct has some problems due to the
usage counter being used to determine whether objects of that type are in
use in addition to whether anyone might be interested in the structure.

This is made trickier by cell objects being cached for a period of time in
case they're quickly reused as they hold the result of a setup process that
may be slow (DNS lookups, AFS RPC ops).

Problems include the cached root volume from alias resolution pinning its
parent cell record, rmmod occasionally hanging and occasionally producing
assertion failures.

Fix this by splitting the count of active users from the struct reference
count.  Things then work as follows:

 (1) The cell cache keeps +1 on the cell's activity count and this has to
     be dropped before the cell can be removed.  afs_manage_cell() tries to
     exchange the 1 to a 0 with the cells_lock write-locked, and if
     successful, the record is removed from the net-&gt;cells.

 (2) One struct ref is 'owned' by the activity count.  That is put when the
     active count is reduced to 0 (final_destruction label).

 (3) A ref can be held on a cell whilst it is queued for management on a
     work queue without confusing the active count.  afs_queue_cell() is
     added to wrap this.

 (4) The queue's ref is dropped at the end of the management.  This is
     split out into a separate function, afs_manage_cell_work().

 (5) The root volume record is put after a cell is removed (at the
     final_destruction label) rather then in the RCU destruction routine.

 (6) Volumes hold struct refs, but aren't active users.

 (7) Both counts are displayed in /proc/net/afs/cells.

There are some management function changes:

 (*) afs_put_cell() now just decrements the refcount and triggers the RCU
     destruction if it becomes 0.  It no longer sets a timer to have the
     manager do this.

 (*) afs_use_cell() and afs_unuse_cell() are added to increase and decrease
     the active count.  afs_unuse_cell() sets the management timer.

 (*) afs_queue_cell() is added to queue a cell with approprate refs.

There are also some other fixes:

 (*) Don't let /proc/net/afs/cells access a cell's vllist if it's NULL.

 (*) Make sure that candidate cells in lookups are properly destroyed
     rather than being simply kfree'd.  This ensures the bits it points to
     are destroyed also.

 (*) afs_dec_cells_outstanding() is now called in cell destruction rather
     than at "final_destruction".  This ensures that cell-&gt;net is still
     valid to the end of the destructor.

 (*) As a consequence of the previous two changes, move the increment of
     net-&gt;cells_outstanding that was at the point of insertion into the
     tree to the allocation routine to correctly balance things.

[ Upstream commit 92e3cc91d8f51ce64a8b7c696377180953dd316e ]

There are a number of problems that are being seen by the rapidly mounting
and unmounting an afs dynamic root with an explicit cell and volume
specified (which should probably be rejected, but that's a separate issue):

What the tests are doing is to look up/create a cell record for the name
given and then tear it down again without actually using it to try to talk
to a server.  This is repeated endlessly, very fast, and the new cell
collides with the old one if it's not quick enough to reuse it.

It appears (as suggested by Hillf Danton) that the search through the RB
tree under a read_seqbegin_or_lock() under RCU conditions isn't safe and
that it's not blocking the write_seqlock(), despite taking two passes at
it.  He suggested that the code should take a ref on the cell it's
attempting to look at - but this shouldn't be necessary until we've
compared the cell names.  It's possible that I'm missing a barrier
somewhere.

However, using an RCU search for this is overkill, really - we only need to
access the cell name in a few places, and they're places where we're may
end up sleeping anyway.

Fix this by switching to an R/W semaphore instead.

Additionally, draw the down_read() call inside the function (renamed to
afs_find_cell()) since all the callers were taking the RCU read lock (or
should've been[*]).

[*] afs_probe_cell_name() should have been, but that doesn't appear to be
involved in the bug reports.

The symptoms of this look like:

	general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xf27d208691691fdb: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN

<title>afs: Fix deadlock between writeback and truncate</title>

<id>ec0fa0b659144d9c68204d23f627b6a65fa53e50</id>
<content type='text'>
The afs filesystem has a lock[*] that it uses to serialise I/O operations
going to the server (vnode-&gt;io_lock), as the server will only perform one
modification operation at a time on any given file or directory.  This
prevents the the filesystem from filling up all the call slots to a server
with calls that aren't going to be executed in parallel anyway, thereby
allowing operations on other files to obtain slots.

  [*] Note that is probably redundant for directories at least since
      i_rwsem is used to serialise directory modifications and
      lookup/reading vs modification.  The server does allow parallel
      non-modification ops, however.

When a file truncation op completes, we truncate the in-memory copy of the
file to match - but we do it whilst still holding the io_lock, the idea
being to prevent races with other operations.

However, if writeback starts in a worker thread simultaneously with
truncation (whilst notify_change() is called with i_rwsem locked, writeback
pays it no heed), it may manage to set PG_writeback bits on the pages that
will get truncated before afs_setattr_success() manages to call
truncate_pagecache().  Truncate will then wait for those pages - whilst
still inside io_lock:

    # cat /proc/8837/stack
    [&lt;0&gt;] wait_on_page_bit_common+0x184/0x1e7
    [&lt;0&gt;] truncate_inode_pages_range+0x37f/0x3eb
    [&lt;0&gt;] truncate_pagecache+0x3c/0x53
    [&lt;0&gt;] afs_setattr_success+0x4d/0x6e

    [&lt;0&gt;] do_syscall_64+0x2d/0x3a
    [&lt;0&gt;] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

The writeback operation, however, stalls indefinitely because it needs to
get the io_lock to proceed:

    # cat /proc/5940/stack
    [&lt;0&gt;] afs_get_io_locks+0x58/0x1ae
    [&lt;0&gt;] afs_begin_vnode_operation+0xc7/0xd1

    [&lt;0&gt;] afs_write_back_from_locked_page+0x418/0x57c
    [&lt;0&gt;] afs_writepages_region+0x196/0x224
    [&lt;0&gt;] afs_writepages+0x74/0x156
    [&lt;0&gt;] do_writepages+0x2d/0x56
    [&lt;0&gt;] __writeback_single_inode+0x84/0x207
    [&lt;0&gt;] writeback_sb_inodes+0x238/0x3cf
    [&lt;0&gt;] __writeback_inodes_wb+0x68/0x9f
    [&lt;0&gt;] wb_writeback+0x145/0x26c
    [&lt;0&gt;] wb_do_writeback+0x16a/0x194

    [&lt;0&gt;] worker_thread+0x117/0x1b9
    [&lt;0&gt;] kthread+0xec/0xf1
    [&lt;0&gt;] ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30

and thus deadlock has occurred.

Note that whilst afs_setattr() calls filemap_write_and_wait(), the fact
that the caller is holding i_rwsem doesn't preclude more pages being
dirtied through an mmap'd region.

Fix this by:

 (1) Use the vnode validate_lock to mediate access between afs_setattr()
     and afs_writepages():

     (a) Exclusively lock validate_lock in afs_setattr() around the whole

     (b) If WB_SYNC_ALL isn't set on entry to afs_writepages(), trying to
     	 shared-lock validate_lock and returning immediately if we couldn't
     	 get it.

     (c) If WB_SYNC_ALL is set, wait for the lock.

     The validate_lock is also used to validate a file and to zap its cache
     if the file was altered by a third party, so it's probably a good fit
     for this.

 (2) Move the truncation outside of the io_lock in setattr, using the same
     hook as is used for local directory editing.

     This requires the old i_size to be retained in the operation record as
     we commit the revised status to the inode members inside the io_lock
     still, but we still need to know if we reduced the file size.

<pre>
The afs filesystem has a lock[*] that it uses to serialise I/O operations
going to the server (vnode-&gt;io_lock), as the server will only perform one
modification operation at a time on any given file or directory.  This
prevents the the filesystem from filling up all the call slots to a server
with calls that aren't going to be executed in parallel anyway, thereby
allowing operations on other files to obtain slots.

  [*] Note that is probably redundant for directories at least since
      i_rwsem is used to serialise directory modifications and
      lookup/reading vs modification.  The server does allow parallel
      non-modification ops, however.

When a file truncation op completes, we truncate the in-memory copy of the
file to match - but we do it whilst still holding the io_lock, the idea
being to prevent races with other operations.

However, if writeback starts in a worker thread simultaneously with
truncation (whilst notify_change() is called with i_rwsem locked, writeback
pays it no heed), it may manage to set PG_writeback bits on the pages that
will get truncated before afs_setattr_success() manages to call
truncate_pagecache().  Truncate will then wait for those pages - whilst
still inside io_lock:

    # cat /proc/8837/stack
    [&lt;0&gt;] wait_on_page_bit_common+0x184/0x1e7
    [&lt;0&gt;] truncate_inode_pages_range+0x37f/0x3eb
    [&lt;0&gt;] truncate_pagecache+0x3c/0x53
    [&lt;0&gt;] afs_setattr_success+0x4d/0x6e
    [&lt;0&gt;] afs_wait_for_operation+0xd8/0x169

    [&lt;0&gt;] do_syscall_64+0x2d/0x3a
    [&lt;0&gt;] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

The writeback operation, however, stalls indefinitely because it needs to
get the io_lock to proceed:

    # cat /proc/5940/stack
    [&lt;0&gt;] afs_get_io_locks+0x58/0x1ae
    [&lt;0&gt;] afs_begin_vnode_operation+0xc7/0xd1
    [&lt;0&gt;] afs_store_data+0x1b2/0x2a3
    [&lt;0&gt;] afs_write_back_from_locked_page+0x418/0x57c

    [&lt;0&gt;] afs_writepages+0x74/0x156
    [&lt;0&gt;] do_writepages+0x2d/0x56
    [&lt;0&gt;] __writeback_single_inode+0x84/0x207
    [&lt;0&gt;] writeback_sb_inodes+0x238/0x3cf

    [&lt;0&gt;] wb_writeback+0x145/0x26c
    [&lt;0&gt;] wb_do_writeback+0x16a/0x194

    [&lt;0&gt;] kthread+0xec/0xf1
    [&lt;0&gt;] ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30

and thus deadlock has occurred.

Note that whilst afs_setattr() calls filemap_write_and_wait(), the fact
that the caller is holding i_rwsem doesn't preclude more pages being
dirtied through an mmap'd region.

Fix this by:

 (1) Use the vnode validate_lock to mediate access between afs_setattr()
     and afs_writepages():

     (a) Exclusively lock validate_lock in afs_setattr() around the whole
     	 RPC operation.

     (b) If WB_SYNC_ALL isn't set on entry to afs_writepages(), trying to
     	 shared-lock validate_lock and returning immediately if we couldn't
     	 get it.

     (c) If WB_SYNC_ALL is set, wait for the lock.

     The validate_lock is also used to validate a file and to zap its cache
     if the file was altered by a third party, so it's probably a good fit
     for this.

 (2) Move the truncation outside of the io_lock in setattr, using the same
     hook as is used for local directory editing.

     This requires the old i_size to be retained in the operation record as
     we commit the revised status to the inode members inside the io_lock
     still, but we still need to know if we reduced the file size.

David Howells says:

====================
rxrpc, afs: Fix probing issues

Here are some fixes for rxrpc and afs to fix issues in the RTT measuring in
rxrpc and thence the Volume Location server probing in afs:

 (1) Move the serial number of a received ACK into a local variable to
     simplify the next patch.

 (2) Fix the loss of RTT samples due to extra interposed ACKs causing
     baseline information to be discarded too early.  This is a particular
     problem for afs when it sends a single very short call to probe a
     server it hasn't talked to recently.

 (3) Fix rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt() to indicate whether it actually has seen
     any valid samples or not.

 (4) Remove a field that's set/woken, but never read/waited on.

 (5) Expose the RTT and other probe information through procfs to make
     debugging of this stuff easier.

 (6) Fix VL rotation in afs to only use summary information from VL probing
     and not the probe running state (which gets clobbered when next a
     probe is issued).

 (7) Fix VL rotation to actually return the error aggregated from the probe
     errors.

If an error occurs during the construction of an afs superblock, it's
possible that an error occurs after a superblock is created, but before
we've created the root dentry.  If the superblock has a dynamic root
(ie.  what's normally mounted on /afs), the afs_kill_super() will call
afs_dynroot_depopulate() to unpin any created dentries - but this will
oops if the root hasn't been created yet.

Fix this by skipping that bit of code if there is no root dentry.

This leads to an oops looking like:

	general protection fault, ...
	KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000068-0x000000000000006f]
