Pull netfs fixes from David Howells:
 "This contains patches to fix netfs_write_begin() and afs_write_end()
  in the following ways:

  (1) In netfs_write_begin(), extract the decision about whether to skip
      a page out to its own helper and have that clear around the region
      to be written, but not clear that region. This requires the
      filesystem to patch it up afterwards if the hole doesn't get
      completely filled.

  (2) Use offset_in_thp() in (1) rather than manually calculating the
      offset into the page.

  (3) Due to (1), afs_write_end() now needs to handle short data write
      into the page by generic_perform_write(). I've adopted an
      analogous approach to ceph of just returning 0 in this case and
      letting the caller go round again.

  It also adds a note that (in the future) the len parameter may extend
  beyond the page allocated. This is because the page allocation is
  deferred to write_begin() and that gets to decide what size of THP to
  allocate."

Jeff Layton points out:
 "The netfs fix in particular fixes a data corruption bug in cephfs"

<id>66e9c6a86b800f60b1e1ea1ff7271f9e6ed1fa96</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix afs_write_end() to correctly handle a short copy into the intended
write region of the page.  Two things are necessary:

 (1) If the page is not up to date, then we should just return 0
     (ie. indicating a zero-length copy).  The loop in
     generic_perform_write() will go around again, possibly breaking up the
     iterator into discrete chunks[1].

     This is analogous to commit b9de313cf05fe08fa59efaf19756ec5283af672a
     for ceph.

 (2) The page should not have been set uptodate if it wasn't completely set
     up by netfs_write_begin() (this will be fixed in the next patch), so
     we need to set uptodate here in such a case.

Also remove the assertion that was checking that the page was set uptodate
since it's now set uptodate if it wasn't already a few lines above.  The
assertion was from when uptodate was set elsewhere.

Changes:
v3: Remove the handling of len exceeding the end of the page.

If a task is killed during a page fault, it does not currently call
sb_end_pagefault(), which means that the filesystem cannot be frozen
at any time thereafter.  This may be reported by lockdep like this:

------------------------------------
1 lock held by fsstress/10757:

as filesystem freezing is modelled as a lock.

Fix this by removing all the direct returns from within the function,
and using 'ret' to indicate whether we were interrupted or successful.

In commit e87b03f5830e ("afs: Prepare for use of THPs"), the return
value for afs_write_back_from_locked_page was changed from a number
of pages to a length in bytes.  The loop in afs_writepages_region uses
the return value to compute the index that will be used to find dirty
pages in the next iteration, but treats it as a number of pages and
wrongly multiplies it by PAGE_SIZE.  This gives a very large index value,
potentially skipping any dirty data that was not covered in the first
pass, which is limited to 256M.

This causes fsync(), and indirectly close(), to only do a partial
writeback of a large file's dirty data.  The rest is eventually written
back by background threads after dirty_expire_centisecs.

<title>afs: Fix speculative status fetches</title>

<id>22650f148126571be1098d34160eb4931fc77241</id>
<content type='text'>
The generic/464 xfstest causes kAFS to emit occasional warnings of the
form:

        kAFS: vnode modified {100055:8a} 30-&gt;31 YFS.StoreData64 (c=6015)

This indicates that the data version received back from the server did not
match the expected value (the DV should be incremented monotonically for
each individual modification op committed to a vnode).

What is happening is that a lookup call is doing a bulk status fetch
speculatively on a bunch of vnodes in a directory besides getting the
status of the vnode it's actually interested in.  This is racing with a
StoreData operation (though it could also occur with, say, a MakeDir op).

On the client, a modification operation locks the vnode, but the bulk
status fetch only locks the parent directory, so no ordering is imposed
there (thereby avoiding an avenue to deadlock).

On the server, the StoreData op handler doesn't lock the vnode until it's
received all the request data, and downgrades the lock after committing the
data until it has finished sending change notifications to other clients -
which allows the status fetch to occur before it has finished.

This means that:

 - a status fetch can access the target vnode either side of the exclusive
   section of the modification

 - the status fetch could start before the modification, yet finish after,
   and vice-versa.

 - the status fetch and the modification RPCs can complete in either order.

 - the status fetch can return either the before or the after DV from the
   modification.

 - the status fetch might regress the locally cached DV.

Some of these are handled by the previous fix[1], but that's not sufficient
because it checks the DV it received against the DV it cached at the start
of the op, but the DV might've been updated in the meantime by a locally
generated modification op.

Fix this by the following means:

 (1) Keep track of when we're performing a modification operation on a
     vnode.  This is done by marking vnode parameters with a 'modification'
     note that causes the AFS_VNODE_MODIFYING flag to be set on the vnode
     for the duration.

 (2) Alter the speculation race detection to ignore speculative status
     fetches if either the vnode is marked as being modified or the data
     version number is not what we expected.

Note that whilst the "vnode modified" warning does get recovered from as it

The generic/464 xfstest causes kAFS to emit occasional warnings of the
form:

        kAFS: vnode modified {100055:8a} 30-&gt;31 YFS.StoreData64 (c=6015)

This indicates that the data version received back from the server did not
match the expected value (the DV should be incremented monotonically for
each individual modification op committed to a vnode).

What is happening is that a lookup call is doing a bulk status fetch
speculatively on a bunch of vnodes in a directory besides getting the
status of the vnode it's actually interested in.  This is racing with a
StoreData operation (though it could also occur with, say, a MakeDir op).

On the client, a modification operation locks the vnode, but the bulk
status fetch only locks the parent directory, so no ordering is imposed
there (thereby avoiding an avenue to deadlock).

On the server, the StoreData op handler doesn't lock the vnode until it's
received all the request data, and downgrades the lock after committing the
data until it has finished sending change notifications to other clients -
which allows the status fetch to occur before it has finished.

This means that:

 - a status fetch can access the target vnode either side of the exclusive
   section of the modification

 - the status fetch could start before the modification, yet finish after,
   and vice-versa.

 - the status fetch and the modification RPCs can complete in either order.

 - the status fetch can return either the before or the after DV from the
   modification.

 - the status fetch might regress the locally cached DV.

Some of these are handled by the previous fix[1], but that's not sufficient
because it checks the DV it received against the DV it cached at the start
of the op, but the DV might've been updated in the meantime by a locally
generated modification op.

Fix this by the following means:

 (1) Keep track of when we're performing a modification operation on a
     vnode.  This is done by marking vnode parameters with a 'modification'
     note that causes the AFS_VNODE_MODIFYING flag to be set on the vnode
     for the duration.

 (2) Alter the speculation race detection to ignore speculative status
     fetches if either the vnode is marked as being modified or the data
     version number is not what we expected.

Note that whilst the "vnode modified" warning does get recovered from as it
causes the client to refetch the status at the next opportunity, it will
also invalidate the pagecache, so changes might get lost.

Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
 "Use the new netfs lib.

  Begin the process of overhauling the use of the fscache API by AFS and
  the introduction of support for features such as Transparent Huge
  Pages (THPs).

   - Add some support for THPs, including using core VM helper functions
     to find details of pages.

   - Use the ITER_XARRAY I/O iterator to mediate access to the pagecache
     as this handles THPs and doesn't require allocation of large bvec
     arrays.

   - Delegate address_space read/pre-write I/O methods for AFS to the
     netfs helper library. A method is provided to the library that
     allows it to issue a read against the server.

     This includes a change in use for PG_fscache (it now indicates a
     DIO write in progress from the marked page), so a number of waits
     need to be deployed for it.

   - Split the core AFS writeback function to make it easier to modify
     in future patches to handle writing to the cache. [This might
     feasibly make more sense moved out into my fscache-iter branch].

  I've tested these with "xfstests -g quick" against an AFS volume
  (xfstests needs patching to make it work). With this, AFS without a
  cache passes all expected xfstests; with a cache, there's an extra
  failure, but that's also there before these patches. Fixing that
  probably requires a greater overhaul (as can be found on my
  fscache-iter branch, but that's for a later time).

  Thanks should go to Marc Dionne and Jeff Altman of AuriStor for
  exercising the patches in their test farm also"
