fscache: Remove the cookie parameter from fscache_clear_page_bits()

2022-04-08T22:54:37+00:00

The cookie is not used at all, remove it and update the usage in io.c
and afs/write.c (which is the only user outside of fscache currently)
at the same time.

[DH: Amended the documentation also]

Merge tag 'netfs-prep-20220318' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

2022-03-31T22:49:36+00:00

Pull netfs updates from David Howells:
 "Netfs prep for write helpers.

  Having had a go at implementing write helpers and content encryption
  support in netfslib, it seems that the netfs_read_{,sub}request
  structs and the equivalent write request structs were almost the same
  and so should be merged, thereby requiring only one set of
  alloc/get/put functions and a common set of tracepoints.

  Merging the structs also has the advantage that if a bounce buffer is
  added to the request struct, a read operation can be performed to fill
  the bounce buffer, the contents of the buffer can be modified and then
  a write operation can be performed on it to send the data wherever it
  needs to go using the same request structure all the way through. The
  I/O handlers would then transparently perform any required crypto.
  This should make it easier to perform RMW cycles if needed.

  The potentially common functions and structs, however, by their names
  all proclaim themselves to be associated with the read side of things.

  The bulk of these changes alter this in the following ways:

   - Rename struct netfs_read_{,sub}request to netfs_io_{,sub}request.

   - Rename some enums, members and flags to make them more appropriate.

   - Adjust some comments to match.

   - Drop "read"/"rreq" from the names of common functions. For
     instance, netfs_get_read_request() becomes netfs_get_request().

   - The ->init_rreq() and ->issue_op() methods become ->init_request()
     and ->issue_read(). I've kept the latter as a read-specific
     function and in another branch added an ->issue_write() method.

  The driver source is then reorganised into a number of files:

        fs/netfs/buffered_read.c        Create read reqs to the pagecache
        fs/netfs/io.c                   Dispatchers for read and write reqs
        fs/netfs/main.c                 Some general miscellaneous bits
        fs/netfs/objects.c              Alloc, get and put functions
        fs/netfs/stats.c                Optional procfs statistics.

  and future development can be fitted into this scheme, e.g.:

        fs/netfs/buffered_write.c       Modify the pagecache
        fs/netfs/buffered_flush.c       Writeback from the pagecache
        fs/netfs/direct_read.c          DIO read support
        fs/netfs/direct_write.c         DIO write support
        fs/netfs/unbuffered_write.c     Write modifications directly back

  Beyond the above changes, there are also some changes that affect how
  things work:

   - Make fscache_end_operation() generally available.

   - In the netfs tracing header, generate enums from the symbol ->
     string mapping tables rather than manually coding them.

   - Add a struct for filesystems that uses netfslib to put into their
     inode wrapper structs to hold extra state that netfslib is
     interested in, such as the fscache cookie. This allows netfslib
     functions to be set in filesystem operation tables and jumped to
     directly without having to have a filesystem wrapper.

   - Add a member to the struct added above to track the remote inode
     length as that may differ if local modifications are buffered. We
     may need to supply an appropriate EOF pointer when storing data (in
     AFS for example).

   - Pass extra information to netfs_alloc_request() so that the
     ->init_request() hook can access it and retain information to
     indicate the origin of the operation.

   - Make the ->init_request() hook return an error, thereby allowing a
     filesystem that isn't allowed to cache an inode (ceph or cifs, for
     example) to skip readahead.

   - Switch to using refcount_t for subrequests and add tracepoints to
     log refcount changes for the request and subrequest structs.

   - Add a function to consolidate dispatching a read request. Similar
     code is used in three places and another couple are likely to be
     added in the future"

fscache: Add a comment explaining how page-release optimisation works

2022-01-21T21:36:28+00:00

Add a comment into fscache_note_page_release() to explain how the
page-release optimisation logic works[1].  It's not entirely obvious as it
has nothing to do with whether or not the netfs file contains data.

FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ is set if we have no data in the cache yet
(ie. the backing file lookup was negative, the file is 0 length or the
cookie got invalidated).  It means that we have no data in the cache, not
that the file is necessarily empty on the server.

FSCACHE_COOKIE_HAVE_DATA is set once we've stored data in the backing file.
From that point on, we have data we *could* read - however, it's covered by
pages in the netfs pagecache until at such time one of those covering pages
is released.

So if we've written data to the cache (HAVE_DATA) and there wasn't any data
in the cache when we started (NO_DATA_TO_READ), it may no longer be true
that we can skip reading from the cache.

Read skipping is done by cachefiles_prepare_read().

Note that tracking is not done on a per-page basis, but only on a per-file
basis.

nfs: Implement cache I/O by accessing the cache directly

2022-01-10T11:53:25+00:00

Move NFS to using fscache DIO API instead of the old upstream I/O API as
that has been removed.  This is a stopgap solution as the intention is that
at sometime in the future, the cache will move to using larger blocks and
won't be able to store individual pages in order to deal with the potential
for data corruption due to the backing filesystem being able insert/remove
bridging blocks of zeros into its extent list[1].

NFS then reads and writes cache pages synchronously and one page at a time.

The preferred change would be to use the netfs lib, but the new I/O API can
be used directly.  It's just that as the cache now needs to track data for
itself, caching blocks may exceed page size...

This code is somewhat borrowed from my "fallback I/O" patchset[2].

vfs, fscache: Implement pinning of cache usage for writeback

2022-01-07T09:22:19+00:00

Cachefiles has a problem in that it needs to keep the backing file for a
cookie open whilst there are local modifications pending that need to be
written to it.  However, we don't want to keep the file open indefinitely,
as that causes EMFILE/ENFILE/ENOMEM problems.

Reopening the cache file, however, is a problem if this is being done due
to writeback triggered by exit().  Some filesystems will oops if we try to
open a file in that context because they want to access current->fs or
other resources that have already been dismantled.

To get around this, I added the following:

 (1) An inode flag, I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB, to be set on a network filesystem
     inode to indicate that we have a usage count on the cookie caching
     that inode.

 (2) A flag in struct writeback_control, unpinned_fscache_wb, that is set
     when __writeback_single_inode() clears the last dirty page from
     i_pages - at which point it clears I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and sets this
     flag.

     This has to be done here so that clearing I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB can be
     done atomically with the check of PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY that clears
     I_DIRTY_PAGES.

 (3) A function, fscache_set_page_dirty(), which if it is not set, sets
     I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and calls fscache_use_cookie() to pin the cache
     resources.

 (4) A function, fscache_unpin_writeback(), to be called by ->write_inode()
     to unuse the cookie.

 (5) A function, fscache_clear_inode_writeback(), to be called when the
     inode is evicted, before clear_inode() is called.  This cleans up any
     lingering I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB.

The network filesystem can then use these tools to make sure that
fscache_write_to_cache() can write locally modified data to the cache as
well as to the server.

For the future, I'm working on write helpers for netfs lib that should
allow this facility to be removed by keeping track of the dirty regions
separately - but that's incomplete at the moment and is also going to be
affected by folios, one way or another, since it deals with pages
