afs: Make afs_write_begin() avoid writing to a page that's being stored

2017-11-24T10:56:51+00:00

Make afs_write_begin() wait for a page that's marked PG_writeback because:

 (1) We need to avoid interference with the data being stored so that the
     data on the server ends up in a defined state.

 (2) page->private is used to track the window of dirty data within a page,
     but it's also used by the storage code to track what's being written,
     being cleared by the completion notification.  Ownership can't be
     relinquished by the storage code until completion because it a store
     fails, the data must be remarked dirty.

Tracing shows something like the following (edited):

 x86_64-linux-gn-15940 [1] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 begin 0-125
    kworker/u8:3-114   [2] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 store+ 0-125
 x86_64-linux-gn-15940 [1] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 begin 0-2052
    kworker/u8:3-114   [2] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 clear 0-2052
    kworker/u8:3-114   [2] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 store 0-0
    kworker/u8:3-114   [2] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 WARN 0-0

The clear (completion) corresponding to the store+ (store continuation from
a previous page) happens between the second begin (afs_write_begin) and the
store corresponding to that.  This results in the second store not seeing
any data to write back, leading to the following warning:

2017-11-16T19:41:22+00:00

Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
"kAFS filesystem driver overhaul.

The major points of the overhaul are:

(1) Preliminary groundwork is laid for supporting network-namespacing
of kAFS. The remainder of the namespacing work requires some way
to pass namespace information to submounts triggered by an
automount. This requires something like the mount overhaul that's
in progress.

(2) sockaddr_rxrpc is used in preference to in_addr for holding
addresses internally and add support for talking to the YFS VL
server. With this, kAFS can do everything over IPv6 as well as
IPv4 if it's talking to servers that support it.

(3) Callback handling is overhauled to be generally passive rather
than active. 'Callbacks' are promises by the server to tell us
about data and metadata changes. Callbacks are now checked when
we next touch an inode rather than actively going and looking for
it where possible.

(4) File access permit caching is overhauled to store the caching
information per-inode rather than per-directory, shared over
subordinate files. Whilst older AFS servers only allow ACLs on
directories (shared to the files in that directory), newer AFS
servers break that restriction.

To improve memory usage and to make it easier to do mass-key
removal, permit combinations are cached and shared.

(5) Cell database management is overhauled to allow lighter locks to
be used and to make cell records autonomous state machines that
look after getting their own DNS records and cleaning themselves
up, in particular preventing races in acquiring and relinquishing
the fscache token for the cell.

(6) Volume caching is overhauled. The afs_vlocation record is got rid
of to simplify things and the superblock is now keyed on the cell
and the numeric volume ID only. The volume record is tied to a
superblock and normal superblock management is used to mediate
the lifetime of the volume fscache token.

(7) File server record caching is overhauled to make server records
independent of cells and volumes. A server can be in multiple
cells (in such a case, the administrator must make sure that the
VL services for all cells correctly reflect the volumes shared
between those cells).

Server records are now indexed using the UUID of the server
rather than the address since a server can have multiple
addresses.

(8) File server rotation is overhauled to handle VMOVED, VBUSY (and
similar), VOFFLINE and VNOVOL indications and to handle rotation
both of servers and addresses of those servers. The rotation will
also wait and retry if the server says it is busy.

(9) Data writeback is overhauled. Each inode no longer stores a list
of modified sections tagged with the key that authorised it in
favour of noting the modified region of a page in page->private
and storing a list of keys that made modifications in the inode.

This simplifies things and allows other keys to be used to
actually write to the server if a key that made a modification
becomes useless.

(10) Writable mmap() is implemented. This allows a kernel to be build
entirely on AFS.

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

mm, pagevec: remove cold parameter for pagevecs

2017-11-16T02:21:06+00:00

Every pagevec_init user claims the pages being released are hot even in
cases where it is unlikely the pages are hot.  As no one cares about the
hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the
parameter.

No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal.  The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

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.
