There's a memory leak in afs_parse_source() whereby multiple source=
parameters overwrite fc-&gt;source in the fs_context struct without freeing
the previously recorded source.

Fix this by only permitting a single source parameter and rejecting with
an error all subsequent ones.

This was caught by syzbot with the kernel memory leak detector, showing
something like the following trace:

  unreferenced object 0xffff888114375440 (size 32):
    comm "repro", pid 5168, jiffies 4294923723 (age 569.948s)

<title>afs: Fix speculative status fetch going out of order wrt to modifications</title>

<id>a9e5c87ca7443d09fb530fffa4d96ce1c76dbe4d</id>
<content type='text'>
When doing a lookup in a directory, the afs filesystem uses a bulk
status fetch to speculatively retrieve the statuses of up to 48 other
vnodes found in the same directory and it will then either update extant
inodes or create new ones - effectively doing 'lookup ahead'.

To avoid the possibility of deadlocking itself, however, the filesystem
doesn't lock all of those inodes; rather just the directory inode is
locked (by the VFS).

When the operation completes, afs_inode_init_from_status() or
afs_apply_status() is called, depending on whether the inode already
exists, to commit the new status.

A case exists, however, where the speculative status fetch operation may
straddle a modification operation on one of those vnodes.  What can then
happen is that the speculative bulk status RPC retrieves the old status,
and whilst that is happening, the modification happens - which returns
an updated status, then the modification status is committed, then we
attempt to commit the speculative status.

This results in something like the following being seen in dmesg:

	kAFS: vnode modified {100058:861} 8-&gt;9 YFS.InlineBulkStatus

showing that for vnode 861 on volume 100058, we saw YFS.InlineBulkStatus
say that the vnode had data version 8 when we'd already recorded version
9 due to a local modification.  This was causing the cache to be
invalidated for that vnode when it shouldn't have been.  If it happens
on a data file, this might lead to local changes being lost.

Fix this by ignoring speculative status updates if the data version
doesn't match the expected value.

Note that it is possible to get a DV regression if a volume gets
restored from a backup - but we should get a callback break in such a
case that should trigger a recheck anyway.  It might be worth checking
the volume creation time in the volsync info and, if a change is
observed in that (as would happen on a restore), invalidate all caches
associated with the volume.

When afs_write_end() is called with copied == 0, it tries to set the
dirty region, but there's no way to actually encode a 0-length region in
the encoding in page-&gt;private.

"0,0", for example, indicates a 1-byte region at offset 0.  The maths
miscalculates this and sets it incorrectly.

Fix it to just do nothing but unlock and put the page in this case.  We
don't actually need to mark the page dirty as nothing presumably
changed.

The cleanup for the yfs_store_opaque_acl2_operation calls the wrong
function to destroy the ACL content buffer.  It's an afs_acl struct, not
a yfs_acl struct - and the free function for latter may pass invalid
pointers to kfree().

Fix this by using the afs_acl_put() function.  The yfs_acl_put()
function is then no longer used and can be removed.

When using the afs.yfs.acl xattr to change an AuriStor ACL, a warning
can be generated when the request is marshalled because the buffer
pointer isn't increased after adding the last element, thereby
triggering the check at the end if the ACL wasn't empty.  This just
causes something like the following warning, but doesn't stop the call
from happening successfully:

The dirty region bounds stored in page-&gt;private on an afs page are 15 bits
on a 32-bit box and can, at most, represent a range of up to 32K within a
32K page with a resolution of 1 byte.  This is a problem for powerpc32 with
64K pages enabled.

Further, transparent huge pages may get up to 2M, which will be a problem
for the afs filesystem on all 32-bit arches in the future.

Fix this by decreasing the resolution.  For the moment, a 64K page will
have a resolution determined from PAGE_SIZE.  In the future, the page will
need to be passed in to the helper functions so that the page size can be
assessed and the resolution determined dynamically.

Note that this might not be the ideal way to handle this, since it may
allow some leakage of undirtied zero bytes to the server's copy in the case
of a 3rd-party conflict.  Fixing that would require a separately allocated
record and is a more complicated fix.

Fix afs_invalidatepage() to adjust the dirty region recorded in
page-&gt;private when truncating a page.  If the dirty region is entirely
removed, then the private data is cleared and the page dirty state is
cleared.

Without this, if the page is truncated and then expanded again by truncate,
zeros from the expanded, but no-longer dirty region may get written back to
the server if the page gets laundered due to a conflicting 3rd-party write.

It mustn't, however, shorten the dirty region of the page if that page is
still mmapped and has been marked dirty by afs_page_mkwrite(), so a flag is
stored in page-&gt;private to record this.

<id>65dd2d6072d393a3aa14ded8afa9a12f27d9c8ad</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, page-&gt;private on an afs page is used to store the range of
dirtied data within the page, where the range includes the lower bound, but
excludes the upper bound (e.g. 0-1 is a range covering a single byte).

This, however, requires a superfluous bit for the last-byte bound so that
on a 4KiB page, it can say 0-4096 to indicate the whole page, the idea
being that having both numbers the same would indicate an empty range.
This is unnecessary as the PG_private bit is clear if it's an empty range
(as is PG_dirty).

Alter the way the dirty range is encoded in page-&gt;private such that the
upper bound is reduced by 1 (e.g. 0-0 is then specified the same single
byte range mentioned above).

Applying this to both bounds frees up two bits, one of which can be used in
a future commit.

This allows the afs filesystem to be compiled on ppc32 with 64K pages;
without this, the following warnings are seen:

../fs/afs/internal.h: In function 'afs_page_dirty_to':
../fs/afs/internal.h:881:15: warning: right shift count &gt;= width of type [-Wshift-count-overflow]

Currently, page-&gt;private on an afs page is used to store the range of
dirtied data within the page, where the range includes the lower bound, but
excludes the upper bound (e.g. 0-1 is a range covering a single byte).

This, however, requires a superfluous bit for the last-byte bound so that
on a 4KiB page, it can say 0-4096 to indicate the whole page, the idea
being that having both numbers the same would indicate an empty range.
This is unnecessary as the PG_private bit is clear if it's an empty range
(as is PG_dirty).

Alter the way the dirty range is encoded in page-&gt;private such that the
upper bound is reduced by 1 (e.g. 0-0 is then specified the same single
byte range mentioned above).

Applying this to both bounds frees up two bits, one of which can be used in
a future commit.

This allows the afs filesystem to be compiled on ppc32 with 64K pages;
without this, the following warnings are seen:

../fs/afs/internal.h: In function 'afs_page_dirty_to':
../fs/afs/internal.h:881:15: warning: right shift count &gt;= width of type [-Wshift-count-overflow]
  881 |  return (priv &gt;&gt; __AFS_PAGE_PRIV_SHIFT) &amp; __AFS_PAGE_PRIV_MASK;

<title>afs: Wrap page-&gt;private manipulations in inline functions</title>

The afs filesystem uses page-&gt;private to store the dirty range within a
page such that in the event of a conflicting 3rd-party write to the server,
we write back just the bits that got changed locally.

However, there are a couple of problems with this:

 (1) I need a bit to note if the page might be mapped so that partial
     invalidation doesn't shrink the range.

 (2) There aren't necessarily sufficient bits to store the entire range of
     data altered (say it's a 32-bit system with 64KiB pages or transparent
     huge pages are in use).

So wrap the accesses in inline functions so that future commits can change
how this works.

Also move them out of the tracing header into the in-directory header.
There's not really any need for them to be in the tracing header.

In afs, page-&gt;private is set to indicate the dirty region of a page.  This
is done in afs_write_begin(), but that can't take account of whether the
copy into the page actually worked.

Fix this by moving the change of page-&gt;private into afs_write_end().
