<title>rxrpc: Move call state changes from recvmsg to I/O thread</title>

Move the call state changes that are made in rxrpc_recvmsg() to the I/O
thread.  This means that, thenceforth, only the I/O thread does this and
the call state lock can be removed.

This requires the Rx phase to be ended when the last packet is received,
not when it is processed.

Since this now changes the rxrpc call state to SUCCEEDED before we've
consumed all the data from it, rxrpc_kernel_check_life() mustn't say the
call is dead until the recvmsg queue is empty (unless the call has failed).

<title>rxrpc: Tidy up abort generation infrastructure</title>

<id>57af281e5389b6fefedb3685f86847cbb0055f75</id>
<content type='text'>
Tidy up the abort generation infrastructure in the following ways:

 (1) Create an enum and string mapping table to list the reasons an abort
     might be generated in tracing.

 (2) Replace the 3-char string with the values from (1) in the places that
     use that to log the abort source.  This gets rid of a memcpy() in the
     tracepoint.

 (3) Subsume the rxrpc_rx_eproto tracepoint with the rxrpc_abort tracepoint
     and use values from (1) to indicate the trace reason.

 (4) Always make a call to an abort function at the point of the abort
     rather than stashing the values into variables and using goto to get
     to a place where it reported.  The C optimiser will collapse the calls
     together as appropriate.  The abort functions return a value that can
     be returned directly if appropriate.

Note that this extends into afs also at the points where that generates an
abort.  To aid with this, the afs sources need to #define
RXRPC_TRACE_ONLY_DEFINE_ENUMS before including the rxrpc tracing header
because they don't have access to the rxrpc internal structures that some
of the tracepoints make use of.

<title>afs: Stop implementing -&gt;writepage()</title>

<id>a9eb558a5bea66cc43950632f5fffec6b5795233</id>
<content type='text'>
We're trying to get rid of the -&gt;writepage() hook[1].  Stop afs from using
it by unlocking the page and calling afs_writepages_region() rather than
folio_write_one().

A flag is passed to afs_writepages_region() to indicate that it should only
write a single region so that we don't flush the entire file in
-&gt;write_begin(), but do add other dirty data to the region being written to
try and reduce the number of RPC ops.

This requires -&gt;migrate_folio() to be implemented, so point that at
filemap_migrate_folio() for files and also for symlinks and directories.

This can be tested by turning on the afs_folio_dirty tracepoint and then
doing something like:

   xfs_io -c "w 2223 7000" -c "w 15000 22222" -c "w 23 7" /afs/my/test/foo

and then looking in the trace to see if the write at position 15000 gets
stored before page 0 gets dirtied for the write at position 23.

<content type='text'>
The afs_fs_probe_dispatcher() work function is passed a count on
net-&gt;servers_outstanding when it is scheduled (which may come via its
timer).  This is passed back to the work_item, passed to the timer or
dropped at the end of the dispatcher function.

But, at the top of the dispatcher function, there are two checks which
skip the rest of the function: if the network namespace is being destroyed
or if there are no fileservers to probe.  These two return paths, however,
do not drop the count passed to the dispatcher, and so, sometimes, the
destruction of a network namespace, such as induced by rmmod of the kafs
module, may get stuck in afs_purge_servers(), waiting for
net-&gt;servers_outstanding to become zero.

Fix this by adding the missing decrements in afs_fs_probe_dispatcher().

<content type='text'>
The fileserver probing code attempts to work out the best fileserver to
use for a volume by retrieving the RTT calculated by AF_RXRPC for the
probe call sent to each server and comparing them.  Sometimes, however,
no RTT estimate is available and rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt() returns false,
leading good fileservers to be given an RTT of UINT_MAX and thus causing
the rotation algorithm to ignore them.

Fix afs_select_fileserver() to ignore rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt()'s return
value and just take the estimated RTT it provides - which will be capped
at 1 second.

the rotation algorithm to ignore them.

Fix afs_select_fileserver() to ignore rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt()'s return
value and just take the estimated RTT it provides - which will be capped
at 1 second.

Fixes: 1d4adfaf6574 ("rxrpc: Make rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt() indicate validity")

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.

Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder
to misinterpret...
