cachefiles: Wait rather than BUG'ing on "Unexpected object collision"

2018-07-25T13:49:00+00:00

If we meet a conflicting object that is marked FSCACHE_OBJECT_IS_LIVE in
the active object tree, we have been emitting a BUG after logging
information about it and the new object.

Instead, we should wait for the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag to be cleared
on the old object (or return an error).  The ACTIVE flag should be cleared
after it has been removed from the active object tree.  A timeout of 60s is
used in the wait, so we shouldn't be able to get stuck there.

cachefiles: Fix missing clear of the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag

2018-07-25T13:49:00+00:00

In cachefiles_mark_object_active(), the new object is marked active and
then we try to add it to the active object tree.  If a conflicting object
is already present, we want to wait for that to go away.  After the wait,
we go round again and try to re-mark the object as being active - but it's
already marked active from the first time we went through and a BUG is
issued.

Fix this by clearing the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag before we try again.

Analysis from Kiran Kumar Modukuri:

[Impact]
Oops during heavy NFS + FSCache + Cachefiles

CacheFiles: Error: Overlong wait for old active object to go away.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000002

CacheFiles: Error: Object already active kernel BUG at
fs/cachefiles/namei.c:163!

[Cause]
In a heavily loaded system with big files being read and truncated, an
fscache object for a cookie is being dropped and a new object being
looked. The new object being looked for has to wait for the old object
to go away before the new object is moved to active state.

[Fix]
Clear the flag 'CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE' for the new object when
retrying the object lookup.

[Testcase]
Have run ~100 hours of NFS stress tests and have not seen this bug recur.

[Regression Potential]
 - Limited to fscache/cachefiles.

cachefiles: vfs_mkdir() might succeed leaving dentry negative unhashed

2018-05-21T18:30:10+00:00

That can (and does, on some filesystems) happen - ->mkdir() (and thus
vfs_mkdir()) can legitimately leave its argument negative and just
unhash it, counting upon the lookup to pick the object we'd created
next time we try to look at that name.

Some vfs_mkdir() callers forget about that possibility...

fscache: Attach the index key and aux data to the cookie

2018-04-04T12:41:28+00:00

Attach copies of the index key and auxiliary data to the fscache cookie so
that:

 (1) The callbacks to the netfs for this stuff can be eliminated.  This
     can simplify things in the cache as the information is still
     available, even after the cache has relinquished the cookie.

 (2) Simplifies the locking requirements of accessing the information as we
     don't have to worry about the netfs object going away on us.

 (3) The cache can do lazy updating of the coherency information on disk.
     As long as the cache is flushed before reboot/poweroff, there's no
     need to update the coherency info on disk every time it changes.

 (4) Cookies can be hashed or put in a tree as the index key is easily
     available.  This allows:

     (a) Checks for duplicate cookies can be made at the top fscache layer
     	 rather than down in the bowels of the cache backend.

     (b) Caching can be added to a netfs object that has a cookie if the
     	 cache is brought online after the netfs object is allocated.

A certain amount of space is made in the cookie for inline copies of the
data, but if it won't fit there, extra memory will be allocated for it.

The downside of this is that live cache operation requires more memory.

fscache: Add tracepoints

2018-04-04T12:41:27+00:00

Add some tracepoints to fscache:

 (*) fscache_cookie - Tracks a cookie's usage count.

 (*) fscache_netfs - Logs registration of a network filesystem, including
     the pointer to the cookie allocated.

 (*) fscache_acquire - Logs cookie acquisition.

 (*) fscache_relinquish - Logs cookie relinquishment.

 (*) fscache_enable - Logs enablement of a cookie.

 (*) fscache_disable - Logs disablement of a cookie.

 (*) fscache_osm - Tracks execution of states in the object state machine.

and cachefiles:

 (*) cachefiles_ref - Tracks a cachefiles object's usage count.

 (*) cachefiles_lookup - Logs result of lookup_one_len().

 (*) cachefiles_mkdir - Logs result of vfs_mkdir().

 (*) cachefiles_create - Logs result of vfs_create().

sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t

2017-06-20T10:18:27+00:00

Rename:

	wait_queue_t		=>	wait_queue_entry_t

'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.

Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.

This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

cachefiles: Fix attempt to read i_blocks after deleting file [ver #2]

2016-09-27T22:31:29+00:00

An NULL-pointer dereference happens in cachefiles_mark_object_inactive()
when it tries to read i_blocks so that it can tell the cachefilesd daemon
how much space it's making available.

The problem is that cachefiles_drop_object() calls
cachefiles_mark_object_inactive() after calling cachefiles_delete_object()
because the object being marked active staves off attempts to (re-)use the
file at that filename until after it has been deleted.  This means that
d_inode is NULL by the time we come to try to access it.

To fix the problem, have the caller of cachefiles_mark_object_inactive()
supply the number of blocks freed up.

Without this, the following oops may occur:
