Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This extends the netfs helper library that network filesystems can use
  to replace their own implementations. Both afs and 9p are ported. cifs
  is ready as well but the patches are way bigger and will be routed
  separately once this is merged. That will remove lots of code as well.

  The overal goal is to get high-level I/O and knowledge of the page
  cache and ouf of the filesystem drivers. This includes knowledge about
  the existence of pages and folios

  The pull request converts afs and 9p. This removes about 800 lines of
  code from afs and 300 from 9p. For 9p it is now possible to do writes
  in larger than a page chunks. Additionally, multipage folio support
  can be turned on for 9p. Separate patches exist for cifs removing
  another 2000+ lines. I've included detailed information in the
  individual pulls I took.

  Summary:

   - Add NFS-style (and Ceph-style) locking around DIO vs buffered I/O
     calls to prevent these from happening at the same time.

   - Support for direct and unbuffered I/O.

   - Support for write-through caching in the page cache.

   - O_*SYNC and RWF_*SYNC writes use write-through rather than writing
     to the page cache and then flushing afterwards.

   - Support for write-streaming.

   - Support for write grouping.

   - Skip reads for which the server could only return zeros or EOF.

   - The fscache module is now part of the netfs library and the
     corresponding maintainer entry is updated.

   - Some helpers from the fscache subsystem are renamed to mark them as
     belonging to the netfs library.

   - Follow-up fixes for the netfs library.

   - Follow-up fixes for the 9p conversion"

netfs: Fix interaction between write-streaming and cachefiles culling 2024-01-05T15:42:25+00:00 David Howells dhowells@redhat.com 2024-01-04T15:52:11+00:00 92a714d727ec9e7ccfcc7432d348aba730145914 An issue can occur between write-streaming (storing dirty data in partial non-uptodate pages) and a cachefiles object being culled to make space. The problem occurs because the cache object is only marked in use while there are files open using it. Once it has been released, it can be culled and the cookie marked disabled. At this point, a streaming write is permitted to occur (if the cache is active, we require pages to be prefetched and cached), but the cache can become active again before this gets flushed out - and then two effects can occur: (1) The cache may be asked to write out a region that's less than its DIO block size (assumed by cachefiles to be PAGE_SIZE) - and this causes one of two debugging statements to be emitted. (2) netfs_how_to_modify() gets confused because it sees a page that isn't allowed to be non-uptodate being uptodate and tries to prefetch it - leading to a warning that PG_fscache is set twice. Fix this by the following means: (1) Add a netfs_inode flag to disallow write-streaming to an inode and set it if we ever do local caching of that inode. It remains set for the lifetime of that inode - even if the cookie becomes disabled. (2) If the no-write-streaming flag is set, then make netfs_how_to_modify() always want to prefetch instead. (3) If netfs_how_to_modify() decides it wants to prefetch a folio, but that folio has write-streamed data in it, then it requires the folio be flushed first. (4) Export a counter of the number of times we wanted to prefetch a non-uptodate page, but found it had write-streamed data in it. (5) Export a counter of the number of times we cancelled a write to the cache because it didn't DIO align and remove the debug statements.

An issue can occur between write-streaming (storing dirty data in partial
non-uptodate pages) and a cachefiles object being culled to make space.
The problem occurs because the cache object is only marked in use while
there are files open using it.  Once it has been released, it can be culled
and the cookie marked disabled.

At this point, a streaming write is permitted to occur (if the cache is
active, we require pages to be prefetched and cached), but the cache can
become active again before this gets flushed out - and then two effects can
occur:

 (1) The cache may be asked to write out a region that's less than its DIO
     block size (assumed by cachefiles to be PAGE_SIZE) - and this causes
     one of two debugging statements to be emitted.

 (2) netfs_how_to_modify() gets confused because it sees a page that isn't
     allowed to be non-uptodate being uptodate and tries to prefetch it -
     leading to a warning that PG_fscache is set twice.

Fix this by the following means:

 (1) Add a netfs_inode flag to disallow write-streaming to an inode and set
     it if we ever do local caching of that inode.  It remains set for the
     lifetime of that inode - even if the cookie becomes disabled.

 (2) If the no-write-streaming flag is set, then make netfs_how_to_modify()
     always want to prefetch instead.

 (3) If netfs_how_to_modify() decides it wants to prefetch a folio, but
     that folio has write-streamed data in it, then it requires the folio
     be flushed first.

 (4) Export a counter of the number of times we wanted to prefetch a
     non-uptodate page, but found it had write-streamed data in it.

 (5) Export a counter of the number of times we cancelled a write to the
     cache because it didn't DIO align and remove the debug statements.
