The MDS subsequently complains that the kernel client is late releasing
caps.

Approximately, a series of changes to this code by commits 49870056005c
("ceph: convert ceph_readpages to ceph_readahead"), 2de160417315
("netfs: Change -&gt;init_request() to return an error code") and
a5c9dc445139 ("ceph: Make ceph_init_request() check caps on readahead")
resulted in subtle resource cleanup to be missed. The main culprit is
the change in error handling in 2de160417315 which meant that a failure
in init_request() would no longer cause cleanup to be called. That
would prevent the ceph_put_cap_refs() call which would cleanup the
leaked cap ref.

When doing the direct-io reads it will also try to mark pages dirty,
but for the read path it won't hold the Fw caps and there is case
will it get the Fw reference.

Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the work to improve read/write performance for the new
  netfs library.

  The main performance enhancing changes are:

   - Define a structure, struct folio_queue, and a new iterator type,
     ITER_FOLIOQ, to hold a buffer as a replacement for ITER_XARRAY. See
     that patch for questions about naming and form.

     ITER_FOLIOQ is provided as a replacement for ITER_XARRAY. The
     problem with an xarray is that accessing it requires the use of a
     lock (typically the RCU read lock) - and this means that we can't
     supply iterate_and_advance() with a step function that might sleep
     (crypto for example) without having to drop the lock between pages.
     ITER_FOLIOQ is the iterator for a chain of folio_queue structs,
     where each folio_queue holds a small list of folios. A folio_queue
     struct is a simpler structure than xarray and is not subject to
     concurrent manipulation by the VM. folio_queue is used rather than
     a bvec[] as it can form lists of indefinite size, adding to one end
     and removing from the other on the fly.

   - Provide a copy_folio_from_iter() wrapper.

   - Make cifs RDMA support ITER_FOLIOQ.

   - Use folio queues in the write-side helpers instead of xarrays.

   - Add a function to reset the iterator in a subrequest.

   - Simplify the write-side helpers to use sheaves to skip gaps rather
     than trying to work out where gaps are.

   - In afs, make the read subrequests asynchronous, putting them into
     work items to allow the next patch to do progressive
     unlocking/reading.

   - Overhaul the read-side helpers to improve performance.

   - Fix the caching of a partial block at the end of a file.

   - Allow a store to be cancelled.

  Then some changes for cifs to make it use folio queues instead of
  xarrays for crypto bufferage:

   - Use raw iteration functions rather than manually coding iteration
     when hashing data.

   - Switch to using folio_queue for crypto buffers.

   - Remove the xarray bits.

  Make some adjustments to the /proc/fs/netfs/stats file such that:

   - All the netfs stats lines begin 'Netfs:' but change this to
     something a bit more useful.

   - Add a couple of stats counters to track the numbers of skips and
     waits on the per-inode writeback serialisation lock to make it
     easier to check for this as a source of performance loss.

  Miscellaneous work:

   - Ensure that the sb_writers lock is taken around
     vfs_{set,remove}xattr() in the cachefiles code.

   - Reduce the number of conditional branches in netfs_perform_write().

   - Move the CIFS_INO_MODIFIED_ATTR flag to the netfs_inode struct and
     remove cifs_post_modify().

   - Move the max_len/max_nr_segs members from netfs_io_subrequest to
     netfs_io_request as they're only needed for one subreq at a time.

   - Add an 'unknown' source value for tracing purposes.

   - Remove NETFS_COPY_TO_CACHE as it's no longer used.

   - Set the request work function up front at allocation time.

   - Use bh-disabling spinlocks for rreq-&gt;lock as cachefiles completion
     may be run from block-filesystem DIO completion in softirq context.

   - Remove fs/netfs/io.c"

<title>netfs: Speed up buffered reading</title>

Improve the efficiency of buffered reads in a number of ways:

 (1) Overhaul the algorithm in general so that it's a lot more compact and
     split the read submission code between buffered and unbuffered
     versions.  The unbuffered version can be vastly simplified.

 (2) Read-result collection is handed off to a work queue rather than being
     done in the I/O thread.  Multiple subrequests can be processes
     simultaneously.

 (3) When a subrequest is collected, any folios it fully spans are
     collected and "spare" data on either side is donated to either the
     previous or the next subrequest in the sequence.

Notes:

 (*) Readahead expansion is massively slows down fio, presumably because it
     causes a load of extra allocations, both folio and xarray, up front
     before RPC requests can be transmitted.

 (*) RDMA with cifs does appear to work, both with SIW and RXE.

 (*) PG_private_2-based reading and copy-to-cache is split out into its own
     file and altered to use folio_queue.  Note that the copy to the cache
     now creates a new write transaction against the cache and adds the
     folios to be copied into it.  This allows it to use part of the
     writeback I/O code.

<title>9p: Fix DIO read through netfs</title>

<id>e3786b29c54cdae3490b07180a54e2461f42144c</id>
<content type='text'>
If a program is watching a file on a 9p mount, it won't see any change in
size if the file being exported by the server is changed directly in the
source filesystem, presumably because 9p doesn't have change notifications,
and because netfs skips the reads if the file is empty.

Fix this by attempting to read the full size specified when a DIO read is
requested (such as when 9p is operating in unbuffered mode) and dealing
with a short read if the EOF was less than the expected read.

To make this work, filesystems using netfslib must not set
NETFS_SREQ_CLEAR_TAIL if performing a DIO read where that read hit the EOF.
I don't want to mandatorily clear this flag in netfslib for DIO because,
say, ceph might make a read from an object that is not completely filled,
but does not reside at the end of file - and so we need to clear the
excess.

This can be tested by watching an empty file over 9p within a VM (such as
in the ktest framework):

        while true; do read content; if [ -n "$content" ]; then echo $content; break; fi; done &lt; /host/tmp/foo

then writing something into the empty file.  The watcher should immediately
display the file content and break out of the loop.  Without this fix, it
remains in the loop indefinitely.

<title>netfs: Fix handling of USE_PGPRIV2 and WRITE_TO_CACHE flags</title>
<updated>2024-08-12T20:03:27+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>David Howells</name>
<email>dhowells@redhat.com</email>
</author>
<published>2024-08-07T18:38:46+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=7b589a9b45ae32aa9d7bece597490e141198d7a6'/>
<id>7b589a9b45ae32aa9d7bece597490e141198d7a6</id>
<content type='text'>
The NETFS_RREQ_USE_PGPRIV2 and NETFS_RREQ_WRITE_TO_CACHE flags aren't used
correctly.  The problem is that we try to set them up in the request
initialisation, but we the cache may be in the process of setting up still,
and so the state may not be correct.  Further, we secondarily sample the
cache state and make contradictory decisions later.

The issue arises because we set up the cache resources, which allows the
cache's -&gt;prepare_read() to switch on NETFS_SREQ_COPY_TO_CACHE - which
triggers cache writing even if we didn't set the flags when allocating.

Fix this in the following way:

 (1) Drop NETFS_ICTX_USE_PGPRIV2 and instead set NETFS_RREQ_USE_PGPRIV2 in
     -&gt;init_request() rather than trying to juggle that in
     netfs_alloc_request().

 (2) Repurpose NETFS_RREQ_USE_PGPRIV2 to merely indicate that if caching is
     to be done, then PG_private_2 is to be used rather than only setting
     it if we decide to cache and then having netfs_rreq_unlock_folios()
     set the non-PG_private_2 writeback-to-cache if it wasn't set.

 (3) Split netfs_rreq_unlock_folios() into two functions, one of which
     contains the deprecated code for using PG_private_2 to avoid
     accidentally doing the writeback path - and always use it if
     USE_PGPRIV2 is set.

 (4) As NETFS_ICTX_USE_PGPRIV2 is removed, make netfs_write_begin() always
     wait for PG_private_2.  This function is deprecated and only used by
     ceph anyway, and so label it so.

 (5) Drop the NETFS_RREQ_WRITE_TO_CACHE flag and use
     fscache_operation_valid() on the cache_resources instead.  This has
     the advantage of picking up the result of netfs_begin_cache_read() and
     fscache_begin_write_operation() - which are called after the object is
     initialised and will wait for the cache to come to a usable state.

Just reverting ae678317b95e[1] isn't a sufficient fix, so this need to be
applied on top of that.  Without this as well, things like:

 rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected expedited stalls on CPUs/tasks: {

and:

 WARNING: CPU: 13 PID: 3621 at fs/ceph/caps.c:3386

may happen, along with some UAFs due to PG_private_2 not getting used to
wait on writeback completion.
