<id>eeba1e9cf31d064284dd1fa7bd6cfe01395bd03d</id>
<content type='text'>
The in-kernel afs filesystem client counts the number of server-level
callback invalidation events (CB.InitCallBackState* RPC operations) that it
receives from the server.  This is stored in cb_s_break in various
structures, including afs_server and afs_vnode.

If an inode is examined by afs_validate(), say, the afs_server copy is
compared, along with other break counters, to those in afs_vnode, and if
one or more of the counters do not match, it is considered that the
server's callback promise is broken.  At points where this happens,
AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED is cleared to indicate that the status must be
refetched from the server.

afs_validate() issues an FS.FetchStatus operation to get updated metadata -
and based on the updated data_version may invalidate the pagecache too.

However, the break counters are also used to determine whether to note a
new callback in the vnode (which would set the AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED flag)
and whether to cache the permit data included in the YFSFetchStatus record
by the server.


The problem comes when the server sends us a CB.InitCallBackState op.  The
first such instance doesn't cause cb_s_break to be incremented, but rather
causes AFS_SERVER_FL_NEW to be cleared - but thereafter, say some hours
after last use and all the volumes have been automatically unmounted and
the server has forgotten about the client[*], this *will* likely cause an
increment.

 [*] There are other circumstances too, such as the server restarting or
     needing to make space in its callback table.

Note that the server won't send us a CB.InitCallBackState op until we talk
to it again.

So what happens is:

 (1) A mount for a new volume is attempted, a inode is created for the root
     vnode and vnode-&gt;cb_s_break and AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED aren't set
     immediately, as we don't have a nominated server to talk to yet - and
     we may iterate through a few to find one.

 (2) Before the operation happens, afs_fetch_status(), say, notes in the
     cursor (fc.cb_break) the break counter sum from the vnode, volume and
     server counters, but the server-&gt;cb_s_break is currently 0.

 (3) We send FS.FetchStatus to the server.  The server sends us back
     CB.InitCallBackState.  We increment server-&gt;cb_s_break.

 (4) Our FS.FetchStatus completes.  The reply includes a callback record.

 (5) xdr_decode_AFSCallBack()/xdr_decode_YFSCallBack() check to see whether
     the callback promise was broken by checking the break counter sum from
     step (2) against the current sum.

     This fails because of step (3), so we don't set the callback record
     and, importantly, don't set AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED on the vnode.

This does not preclude the syscall from progressing, and we don't loop here
rechecking the status, but rather assume it's good enough for one round
only and will need to be rechecked next time.

 (6) afs_validate() it triggered on the vnode, probably called from
     d_revalidate() checking the parent directory.

 (7) afs_validate() notes that AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED isn't set, so doesn't
     update vnode-&gt;cb_s_break and assumes the vnode to be invalid.

 (8) afs_validate() needs to calls afs_fetch_status().  Go back to step (2)
     and repeat, every time the vnode is validated.

This primarily affects volume root dir vnodes.  Everything subsequent to
those inherit an already incremented cb_s_break upon mounting.


The issue is that we assume that the callback record and the cached permit
information in a reply from the server can't be trusted after getting a
server break - but this is wrong since the server makes sure things are
done in the right order, holding up our ops if necessary[*].

 [*] There is an extremely unlikely scenario where a reply from before the
     CB.InitCallBackState could get its delivery deferred till after - at
     which point we think we have a promise when we don't.  This, however,
     requires unlucky mass packet loss to one call.

AFS_SERVER_FL_NEW tries to paper over the cracks for the initial mount from
a server we've never contacted before, but this should be unnecessary.
It's also further insulated from the problem on an initial mount by
querying the server first with FS.GetCapabilities, which triggers the
CB.InitCallBackState.


Fix this by

 (1) Remove AFS_SERVER_FL_NEW.

 (2) In afs_calc_vnode_cb_break(), don't include cb_s_break in the
     calculation.

 (3) In afs_cb_is_broken(), don't include cb_s_break in the check.

__pagevec_release() complains loudly if any page in the vector is still
locked.  The pages need to be locked for generic_error_remove_page(), but
that function doesn't actually unlock them.

Unlock the pages afterwards.

Differentiate an abort due to an unmarshalling error from an abort due to
other errors, such as ENETUNREACH.  It doesn't make sense to set abort code
RXGEN_*_UNMARSHAL in such a case, so use RX_USER_ABORT instead.

get_seconds() has a limited range on 32-bit architectures and is
deprecated because of that. While AFS uses the same limits for
its inode timestamps on the wire protocol, let's just use the
simpler current_time() as we do for other file systems.

This will still zero out the 'tv_nsec' field of the timestamps
internally.

Check the state of the rxrpc call backing an afs call in each iteration of
the call wait loop in case the rxrpc call has already been terminated at
the rxrpc layer.

Interrupt the wait loop and mark the afs call as complete if the rxrpc
layer call is complete.

There were cases where rxrpc errors were not passed up to afs, which could
result in this loop waiting forever for an afs call to transition to
AFS_CALL_COMPLETE while the rx call was already complete.

<id>8c7ae38d1ce12a0eaeba655df8562552b3596c7f</id>
<content type='text'>
The marshalling of AFS.StoreData, AFS.StoreData64 and YFS.StoreData64 calls
generated by -&gt;setattr() ops for the purpose of expanding a file is
incorrect due to older documentation incorrectly describing the way the RPC
'FileLength' parameter is meant to work.

The older documentation says that this is the length the file is meant to
end up at the end of the operation; however, it was never implemented this
way in any of the servers, but rather the file is truncated down to this
before the write operation is effected, and never expanded to it (and,
indeed, it was renamed to 'TruncPos' in 2014).

Fix this by setting the position parameter to the new file length and doing
a zero-lengh write there.

The bug causes Xwayland to SIGBUS due to unexpected non-expansion of a file
it then mmaps.  This can be tested by giving the following test program a
filename in an AFS directory:

	#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
	#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
	#include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/mman.h&gt;
	int main(int argc, char *argv[])
	{
		char *p;
		int fd;
		if (argc != 2) {
			fprintf(stderr,
				"Format: test-trunc-mmap &lt;file&gt;\n");
			exit(2);
		}
		fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC);
		if (fd &lt; 0) {
			perror(argv[1]);
			exit(1);
		}
		if (ftruncate(fd, 0x140008) == -1) {
			perror("ftruncate");
			exit(1);
		}
		p = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
			 MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
		if (p == MAP_FAILED) {

			exit(1);
		}

			perror("munmap");
			exit(1);
		}
		if (close(fd) &lt; 0) {

Pull vfs mount infrastructure updates from Al Viro:
 "The rest of core infrastructure; no new syscalls in that pile, but the
  old parts are switched to new infrastructure. At that point
  conversions of individual filesystems can happen independently; some
  are done here (afs, cgroup, procfs, etc.), there's also a large series
  outside of that pile dealing with NFS (quite a bit of option-parsing
  stuff is getting used there - it's one of the most convoluted
  filesystems in terms of mount-related logics), but NFS bits are the
  next cycle fodder.

  It got seriously simplified since the last cycle; documentation is
  probably the weakest bit at the moment - I considered dropping the
  commit introducing Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt (cutting
  the size increase by quarter ;-), but decided that it would be better
  to fix it up after -rc1 instead.

  That pile allows to do followup work in independent branches, which
  should make life much easier for the next cycle. fs/super.c size
  increase is unpleasant; there's a followup series that allows to
  shrink it considerably, but I decided to leave that until the next
  cycle"

* 'work.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (41 commits)
  afs: Use fs_context to pass parameters over automount
  afs: Add fs_context support
  vfs: Add some logging to the core users of the fs_context log
  vfs: Implement logging through fs_context
  vfs: Provide documentation for new mount API
  vfs: Remove kern_mount_data()
  hugetlbfs: Convert to fs_context
  cpuset: Use fs_context
  kernfs, sysfs, cgroup, intel_rdt: Support fs_context
  cgroup: store a reference to cgroup_ns into cgroup_fs_context
  cgroup1_get_tree(): separate "get cgroup_root to use" into a separate helper
  cgroup_do_mount(): massage calling conventions
  cgroup: stash cgroup_root reference into cgroup_fs_context
  cgroup2: switch to option-by-option parsing
  cgroup1: switch to option-by-option parsing
  cgroup: take options parsing into -&gt;parse_monolithic()
  cgroup: fold cgroup1_mount() into cgroup1_get_tree()
  cgroup: start switching to fs_context
  ipc: Convert mqueue fs to fs_context
  proc: Add fs_context support to procfs

All users of VM_MAX_READAHEAD actually convert it to kbytes and then to
pages. Define the macro explicitly as (SZ_128K / PAGE_SIZE). This
simplifies the expression in every filesystem. Also rename the macro to
VM_READAHEAD_PAGES to properly convey its meaning. Finally remove unused
VM_MIN_READAHEAD

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix fs/io_uring.c, per Stephen]
