Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler in struct
vm_operations_struct.  For now, this is just documenting that the
function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno.  Once all
instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type.

See 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t") for reference.

<content type='text'>
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.

Processes like ld that do lots of small writes that aren't necessarily
contiguous result in a lot of small StoreData operations to the server, the
idea being that if someone else changes the data on the server, we only
write our changes over that and not the space between.  Further, we don't
want to write back empty space if we can avoid it to make it easier for the
server to do sparse files.

However, making lots of tiny RPC ops is a lot less efficient for the server
than one big one because each op requires allocation of resources and the
taking of locks, so we want to compromise a bit.

Reduce the load by the following:

 (1) If a file is just created locally or has just been truncated with
     O_TRUNC locally, allow subsequent writes to the file to be merged with
     intervening space if that space doesn't cross an entire intervening
     page.

 (2) Don't flush the file on -&gt;flush() but rather on -&gt;release() if the
     file was open for writing.

Just linking vmlinux.o, without this patch, looking in /proc/fs/afs/stats:

	file-wr : n=441 nb=513581204

and after the patch:

	file-wr : n=62 nb=513668555

there were 379 fewer StoreData RPC operations at the expense of an extra
87K being written.

Add statistics to /proc/fs/afs/stats for data transfer RPC operations.  New
lines are added that look like:

	file-rd : n=55794 nb=10252282150
	file-wr : n=9789 nb=3247763645

where n= indicates the number of ops completed and nb= indicates the number
of bytes successfully transferred.  file-rd is the counts for read/fetch
operations and file-wr the counts for write/store operations.

Note that directory and symlink downloading are included in the file-rd
stats at the moment.

AFS directories are structured blobs that are downloaded just like files
and then parsed by the lookup and readdir code and, as such, are currently
handled in the pagecache like any other file, with the entire directory
content being thrown away each time the directory changes.

However, since the blob is a known structure and since the data version
counter on a directory increases by exactly one for each change committed
to that directory, we can actually edit the directory locally rather than
fetching it from the server after each locally-induced change.

What we can't do, though, is mix data from the server and data from the
client since the server is technically at liberty to rearrange or compress
a directory if it sees fit, provided it updates the data version number
when it does so and breaks the callback (ie. sends a notification).

Further, lookup with lookup-ahead, readdir and, when it arrives, local
editing are likely want to scan the whole of a directory.

So directory handling needs to be improved to maintain the coherency of the
directory blob prior to permitting local directory editing.

To this end:

 (1) If any directory page gets discarded, invalidate and reread the entire
     directory.

 (2) If readpage notes that if when it fetches a single page that the
     version number has changed, the entire directory is flagged for
     invalidation.

 (3) Read as much of the directory in one go as we can.

Note that this removes local caching of directories in fscache for the
moment as we can't pass the pages to fscache_read_or_alloc_pages() since
page-&gt;lru is in use by the LRU.

<content type='text'>
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-&gt;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:

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-&gt;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:

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-&gt;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)"
