afs: Fix directory permissions check

2018-05-16T20:35:23+00:00

Doing faccessat("/afs/some/directory", 0) triggers a BUG in the permissions
check code.

Fix this by just removing the BUG section.  If no permissions are asked
for, just return okay if the file exists.

Also:

 (1) Split up the directory check so that it has separate if-statements
     rather than if-else-if (e.g. checking for MAY_EXEC shouldn't skip the
     check for MAY_READ and MAY_WRITE).

 (2) Check for MAY_CHDIR as MAY_EXEC.

Without the main fix, the following BUG may occur:

afs: Fix whole-volume callback handling

2018-05-14T14:15:18+00:00

It's possible for an AFS file server to issue a whole-volume notification
that callbacks on all the vnodes in the file have been broken.  This is
done for R/O and backup volumes (which don't have per-file callbacks) and
for things like a volume being taken offline.

Fix callback handling to detect whole-volume notifications, to track it
across operations and to check it during inode validation.

 (*) afs_init_fs_cursor() should be static.

 (*) struct afs_vnode::permit_cache needs to be marked __rcu.

 (*) afs_server_rcu() needs to use rcu_access_pointer().

 (*) afs_destroy_server() should use rcu_access_pointer() on
     server->addresses as the server object is no longer accessible.

 (*) afs_find_server() casts __be16/__be32 values to int in order to
     directly compare them for the purpose of finding a match in a list,
     but is should also annotate the cast with __force to avoid checker
     warnings.

 (*) afs_check_permit() accesses vnode->permit_cache outside of the RCU
     readlock, though it doesn't then access the value; the extraneous
     access is deleted.

False positives:

 (*) Conditional locking around the code in xdr_decode_AFSFetchStatus.  This
     can be dealt with in a separate patch.

fs/afs/fsclient.c:148:9: warning: context imbalance in 'xdr_decode_AFSFetchStatus' - different lock contexts for basic block

afs: Fix permit refcounting

2017-12-01T11:40:43+00:00

Fix four refcount bugs in afs_cache_permit():

 (1) When checking the result of the kzalloc(), we can't just return, but
     must put 'permits'.

 (2) We shouldn't put permits immediately after hashing a new permit as we
     need to keep the pointer stable so that we can check to see if
     vnode->permit_cache has changed before we decide whether to assign to
     it.

 (3) 'permits' is being put twice.

 (4) We need to put either the replacement or the thing replaced after the
     assignment to vnode->permit_cache.

Without this, lots of the following are seen:

  Kernel BUG at ffffffffa039857b [verbose debug info unavailable]
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  Kernel BUG at ffffffffa039858a [verbose debug info unavailable]
  ------------[ cut here ]------------

The addresses are in the .text..refcount section of the kafs.ko module.
Following the relocation records for the __ex_table section shows one to be
due to the decrement in afs_put_permits() and the other to be key_get() in
afs_cache_permit().

Occasionally, the following is seen:

afs: Fix file locking

2017-11-17T10:06:13+00:00

Fix the AFS file locking whereby the use of the big kernel lock (which
could be slept with) was replaced by a spinlock (which couldn't).  The
problem is that the AFS code was doing stuff inside the critical section
that might call schedule(), so this is a broken transformation.

Fix this by the following means:

 (1) Use a state machine with a proper state that can only be changed under
     the spinlock rather than using a collection of bit flags.

 (2) Cache the key used for the lock and the lock type in the afs_vnode
     struct so that the manager work function doesn't have to refer to a
     file_lock struct that's been dequeued.  This makes signal handling
     safer.

 (4) Move the unlock from afs_do_unlk() to afs_fl_release_private() which
     means that unlock is achieved in other circumstances too.

 (5) Unlock the file on the server before taking the next conflicting lock.

Also change:

 (1) Check the permits on a file before actually trying the lock.

 (2) fsync the file before effecting an explicit unlock operation.  We
     don't fsync if the lock is erased otherwise as we might not be in a
     context where we can actually do that.

Further fixes:

 (1) Fixed-fileserver address rotation is made to work.  It's only used by
     the locking functions, so couldn't be tested before.

afs: Overhaul volume and server record caching and fileserver rotation

2017-11-13T15:38:19+00:00

The current code assumes that volumes and servers are per-cell and are
never shared, but this is not enforced, and, indeed, public cells do exist
that are aliases of each other.  Further, an organisation can, say, set up
a public cell and a private cell with overlapping, but not identical, sets
of servers.  The difference is purely in the database attached to the VL
servers.

The current code will malfunction if it sees a server in two cells as it
assumes global address -> server record mappings and that each server is in
just one cell.

Further, each server may have multiple addresses - and may have addresses
of different families (IPv4 and IPv6, say).

To this end, the following structural changes are made:

 (1) Server record management is overhauled:

     (a) Server records are made independent of cell.  The namespace keeps
     	 track of them, volume records have lists of them and each vnode
     	 has a server on which its callback interest currently resides.

     (b) The cell record no longer keeps a list of servers known to be in
     	 that cell.

     (c) The server records are now kept in a flat list because there's no
     	 single address to sort on.

     (d) Server records are now keyed by their UUID within the namespace.

     (e) The addresses for a server are obtained with the VL.GetAddrsU
     	 rather than with VL.GetEntryByName, using the server's UUID as a
     	 parameter.

     (f) Cached server records are garbage collected after a period of
     	 non-use and are counted out of existence before purging is allowed
     	 to complete.  This protects the work functions against rmmod.

     (g) The servers list is now in /proc/fs/afs/servers.

 (2) Volume record management is overhauled:

     (a) An RCU-replaceable server list is introduced.  This tracks both
     	 servers and their coresponding callback interests.

     (b) The superblock is now keyed on cell record and numeric volume ID.

     (c) The volume record is now tied to the superblock which mounts it,
     	 and is activated when mounted and deactivated when unmounted.
     	 This makes it easier to handle the cache cookie without causing a
     	 double-use in fscache.

     (d) The volume record is loaded from the VLDB using VL.GetEntryByNameU
     	 to get the server UUID list.

     (e) The volume name is updated if it is seen to have changed when the
     	 volume is updated (the update is keyed on the volume ID).

 (3) The vlocation record is got rid of and VLDB records are no longer
     cached.  Sufficient information is stored in the volume record, though
     an update to a volume record is now no longer shared between related
     volumes (volumes come in bundles of three: R/W, R/O and backup).

and the following procedural changes are made:

 (1) The fileserver cursor introduced previously is now fleshed out and
     used to iterate over fileservers and their addresses.

 (2) Volume status is checked during iteration, and the server list is
     replaced if a change is detected.

 (3) Server status is checked during iteration, and the address list is
     replaced if a change is detected.

 (4) The abort code is saved into the address list cursor and -ECONNABORTED
     returned in afs_make_call() if a remote abort happened rather than
     translating the abort into an error message.  This allows actions to
     be taken depending on the abort code more easily.

     (a) If a VMOVED abort is seen then this is handled by rechecking the
     	 volume and restarting the iteration.

     (b) If a VBUSY, VRESTARTING or VSALVAGING abort is seen then this is
         handled by sleeping for a short period and retrying and/or trying
         other servers that might serve that volume.  A message is also
         displayed once until the condition has cleared.

     (c) If a VOFFLINE abort is seen, then this is handled as VBUSY for the
     	 moment.

     (d) If a VNOVOL abort is seen, the volume is rechecked in the VLDB to
     	 see if it has been deleted; if not, the fileserver is probably
     	 indicating that the volume couldn't be attached and needs
     	 salvaging.

     (e) If statfs() sees one of these aborts, it does not sleep, but
     	 rather returns an error, so as not to block the umount program.

 (5) The fileserver iteration functions in vnode.c are now merged into
     their callers and more heavily macroised around the cursor.  vnode.c
     is removed.

 (6) Operations on a particular vnode are serialised on that vnode because
     the server will lock that vnode whilst it operates on it, so a second
     op sent will just have to wait.

 (7) Fileservers are probed with FS.GetCapabilities before being used.
     This is where service upgrade will be done.

 (8) A callback interest on a fileserver is set up before an FS operation
     is performed and passed through to afs_make_call() so that it can be
     set on the vnode if the operation returns a callback.  The callback
     interest is passed through to afs_iget() also so that it can be set
     there too.

In general, record updating is done on an as-needed basis when we try to
access servers, volumes or vnodes rather than offloading it to work items
and special threads.

Notes:

 (1) Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can be added
     back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998).

 (2) VBUSY is retried forever for the moment at intervals of 1s.

 (3) /proc/fs/afs//servers no longer exists.

afs: Overhaul permit caching

2017-11-13T15:38:18+00:00

Overhaul permit caching in AFS by making it per-vnode and sharing permit
lists where possible.

When most of the fileserver operations are called, they return a status
structure indicating the (revised) details of the vnode or vnodes involved
in the operation.  This includes the access mark derived from the ACL
(named CallerAccess in the protocol definition file).  This is cacheable
and if the ACL changes, the server will tell us that it is breaking the
callback promise, at which point we can discard the currently cached
permits.

With this patch, the afs_permits structure has, at the end, an array of
{ key, CallerAccess } elements, sorted by key pointer.  This is then cached
in a hash table so that it can be shared between vnodes with the same
access permits.

Permit lists can only be shared if they contain the exact same set of
key->CallerAccess mappings.

Note that that table is global rather than being per-net_ns.  If the keys
in a permit list cross net_ns boundaries, there is no problem sharing the
cached permits, since the permits are just integer masks.

Since permit lists pin keys, the permit cache also makes it easier for a
future patch to find all occurrences of a key and remove them by means of
setting the afs_permits::invalidated flag and then clearing the appropriate
key pointer.  In such an event, memory barriers will need adding.

Lastly, the permit caching is skipped if the server has sent either a
vnode-specific or an entire-server callback since the start of the
operation.

afs: Overhaul the callback handling

2017-11-13T15:38:18+00:00

Overhaul the AFS callback handling by the following means:

 (1) Don't give up callback promises on vnodes that we are no longer using,
     rather let them just expire on the server or let the server break
     them.  This is actually more efficient for the server as the callback
     lookup is expensive if there are lots of extant callbacks.

 (2) Only give up the callback promises we have from a server when the
     server record is destroyed.  Then we can just give up *all* the
     callback promises on it in one go.

 (3) Servers can end up being shared between cells if cells are aliased, so
     don't add all the vnodes being backed by a particular server into a
     big FID-indexed tree on that server as there may be duplicates.

     Instead have each volume instance (~= superblock) register an interest
     in a server as it starts to make use of it and use this to allow the
     processor for callbacks from the server to find the superblock and
     thence the inode corresponding to the FID being broken by means of
     ilookup_nowait().

 (4) Rather than iterating over the entire callback list when a mass-break
     comes in from the server, maintain a counter of mass-breaks in
     afs_server (cb_seq) and make afs_validate() check it against the copy
     in afs_vnode.

     It would be nice not to have to take a read_lock whilst doing this,
     but that's tricky without using RCU.

 (5) Save a ref on the fileserver we're using for a call in the afs_call
     struct so that we can access its cb_s_break during call decoding.

 (6) Write-lock around callback and status storage in a vnode and read-lock
     around getattr so that we don't see the status mid-update.

This has the following consequences:

 (1) Data invalidation isn't seen until someone calls afs_validate() on a
     vnode.  Unfortunately, we need to use a key to query the server, but
     getting one from a background thread is tricky without caching loads
     of keys all over the place.

 (2) Mass invalidation isn't seen until someone calls afs_validate().

 (3) Callback breaking is going to hit the inode_hash_lock quite a bit.
     Could this be replaced with rcu_read_lock() since inodes are destroyed
     under RCU conditions.

afs: Ignore AFS_ACE_READ and AFS_ACE_WRITE for directories

2017-07-09T21:40:12+00:00

The AFS_ACE_READ and AFS_ACE_WRITE permission bits should not
be used to make access decisions for the directory itself.  They
are meant to control access for the objects contained in that
directory.

Reading a directory is allowed if the AFS_ACE_LOOKUP bit is set.
This would cause an incorrect access denied error for a directory
with AFS_ACE_LOOKUP but not AFS_ACE_READ.

The AFS_ACE_WRITE bit does not allow operations that modify the
directory.  For a directory with AFS_ACE_WRITE but neither
AFS_ACE_INSERT nor AFS_ACE_DELETE, this would result in trying
operations that would ultimately be denied by the server.
