<content type='text'>
Change the signature of netfs helper functions to take a struct netfs_inode
pointer rather than a struct inode pointer where appropriate, thereby
relieving the need for the network filesystem to convert its internal inode
format down to the VFS inode only for netfslib to bounce it back up.  For
type safety, it's better not to do that (and it's less typing too).

Give netfs_write_begin() an extra argument to pass in a pointer to the
netfs_inode struct rather than deriving it internally from the file
pointer.  Note that the -&gt;write_begin() and -&gt;write_end() ops are intended
to be replaced in the future by netfslib code that manages this without the
need to call in twice for each page.

netfs_readpage() and similar are intended to be pointed at directly by the
address_space_operations table, so must stick to the signature dictated by
the function pointers there.

Changes
=======
- Updated the kerneldoc comments and documentation [DH].

<title>netfs: Fix gcc-12 warning by embedding vfs inode in netfs_i_context</title>

<id>874c8ca1e60b2c564a48f7e7acc40d328d5c8733</id>
<content type='text'>
While randstruct was satisfied with using an open-coded "void *" offset
cast for the netfs_i_context &lt;-&gt; inode casting, __builtin_object_size() as
used by FORTIFY_SOURCE was not as easily fooled.  This was causing the
following complaint[1] from gcc v12:

  In file included from include/linux/string.h:253,
                   from include/linux/ceph/ceph_debug.h:7,
                   from fs/ceph/inode.c:2:
  In function 'fortify_memset_chk',
      inlined from 'netfs_i_context_init' at include/linux/netfs.h:326:2,
      inlined from 'ceph_alloc_inode' at fs/ceph/inode.c:463:2:
  include/linux/fortify-string.h:242:25: warning: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning]
    242 |                         __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
        |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fix this by embedding a struct inode into struct netfs_i_context (which
should perhaps be renamed to struct netfs_inode).  The struct inode
vfs_inode fields are then removed from the 9p, afs, ceph and cifs inode
structs and vfs_inode is then simply changed to "netfs.inode" in those
filesystems.

Further, rename netfs_i_context to netfs_inode, get rid of the
netfs_inode() function that converted a netfs_i_context pointer to an
inode pointer (that can now be done with &amp;ctx-&gt;inode) and rename the
netfs_i_context() function to netfs_inode() (which is now a wrapper
around container_of()).

Most of the changes were done with:

  perl -p -i -e 's/vfs_inode/netfs.inode/'g \
        `git grep -l 'vfs_inode' -- fs/{9p,afs,ceph,cifs}/*.[ch]`

Kees suggested doing it with a pair structure[2] and a special
declarator to insert that into the network filesystem's inode
wrapper[3], but I think it's cleaner to embed it - and then it doesn't
matter if struct randomisation reorders things.

Dave Chinner suggested using a filesystem-specific VFS_I() function in
each filesystem to convert that filesystem's own inode wrapper struct
into the VFS inode struct[4].

Version #2:
 - Fix a couple of missed name changes due to a disabled cifs option.
 - Rename nfs_i_context to nfs_inode
 - Use "netfs" instead of "nic" as the member name in per-fs inode wrapper
   structs.

[ This also undoes commit 507160f46c55 ("netfs: gcc-12: temporarily
  disable '-Wattribute-warning' for now") that is no longer needed ]

This is a pure band-aid so that I can continue merging stuff from people
while some of the gcc-12 fallout gets sorted out.

In particular, gcc-12 is very unhappy about the kinds of pointer
arithmetic tricks that netfs does, and that makes the fortify checks
trigger in afs and ceph:

  In function ‘fortify_memset_chk’,
      inlined from ‘netfs_i_context_init’ at include/linux/netfs.h:327:2,
      inlined from ‘afs_set_netfs_context’ at fs/afs/inode.c:61:2,
      inlined from ‘afs_root_iget’ at fs/afs/inode.c:543:2:
  include/linux/fortify-string.h:258:25: warning: call to ‘__write_overflow_field’ declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning]
    258 |                         __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
        |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and the reason is that netfs_i_context_init() is passed a 'struct inode'
pointer, and then it does

        struct netfs_i_context *ctx = netfs_i_context(inode);

        memset(ctx, 0, sizeof(*ctx));

where that netfs_i_context() function just does pointer arithmetic on
the inode pointer, knowing that the netfs_i_context is laid out
immediately after it in memory.

This is all truly disgusting, since the whole "netfs_i_context is laid
out immediately after it in memory" is not actually remotely true in
general, but is just made to be that way for afs and ceph.

See for example fs/cifs/cifsglob.h:

  struct cifsInodeInfo {
        struct {
                /* These must be contiguous */
                struct inode    vfs_inode;      /* the VFS's inode record */
                struct netfs_i_context netfs_ctx; /* Netfslib context */
        };
	[...]

and realize that this is all entirely wrong, and the pointer arithmetic
that netfs_i_context() is doing is also very very wrong and wouldn't
give the right answer if netfs_ctx had different alignment rules from a
'struct inode', for example).

Anyway, that's just a long-winded way to say "the gcc-12 warning is
actually quite reasonable, and our code happens to work but is pretty
disgusting".

This is getting fixed properly, but for now I made the mistake of
thinking "the week right after the merge window tends to be calm for me
as people take a breather" and I did a sustem upgrade.  And I got gcc-12
as a result, so to continue merging fixes from people and not have the
end result drown in warnings, I am fixing all these gcc-12 issues I hit.

Including with these kinds of temporary fixes.

When doing a mount using as base a directory that has 'max_bytes' quotas
statfs uses that value as the total; if a subdirectory is used instead,
the same 'max_bytes' too in statfs, unless there is another quota set.

Unfortunately, if this subdirectory only has the 'max_files' quota set,
then statfs uses the filesystem total.  Fix this by making sure we only
lookup realms that contain the 'max_bytes' quota.

of the random replica MDSes. Because only when the Locker is in
LOCK_EXEC state will the loner client could get the 'x' caps. And
if we send the getattr requests to any replica MDS it must auth pin
and tries to rdlock from the auth MDS, and then the auth MDS need
to do the Locker state transition to LOCK_SYNC. And after that the
lock state will change back.

This cost much when doing the Locker state transition and usually
will need to revoke caps from clients.

From the posix and the initial statx supporting commit comments,
the AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC is a lightweight stat and the
AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC is a heaverweight one. And also checked all
the other current usage about these two flags they are all doing
the same, that is only when the AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC is not set
and the AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC is set will they skip sync retriving
the attributes from storage.

The MDS will always refresh the dentry lease when removing the files
or directories. And if the dentry is still hashed, we can update
the dentry lease and no need to do the lookup from the MDS later.

Pull netfs updates from David Howells:
 "Netfs prep for write helpers.

  Having had a go at implementing write helpers and content encryption
  support in netfslib, it seems that the netfs_read_{,sub}request
  structs and the equivalent write request structs were almost the same
  and so should be merged, thereby requiring only one set of
  alloc/get/put functions and a common set of tracepoints.

  Merging the structs also has the advantage that if a bounce buffer is
  added to the request struct, a read operation can be performed to fill
  the bounce buffer, the contents of the buffer can be modified and then
  a write operation can be performed on it to send the data wherever it
  needs to go using the same request structure all the way through. The
  I/O handlers would then transparently perform any required crypto.
  This should make it easier to perform RMW cycles if needed.

  The potentially common functions and structs, however, by their names
  all proclaim themselves to be associated with the read side of things.

  The bulk of these changes alter this in the following ways:

   - Rename struct netfs_read_{,sub}request to netfs_io_{,sub}request.

   - Rename some enums, members and flags to make them more appropriate.

   - Adjust some comments to match.

   - Drop "read"/"rreq" from the names of common functions. For
     instance, netfs_get_read_request() becomes netfs_get_request().

   - The -&gt;init_rreq() and -&gt;issue_op() methods become -&gt;init_request()
     and -&gt;issue_read(). I've kept the latter as a read-specific
     function and in another branch added an -&gt;issue_write() method.

  The driver source is then reorganised into a number of files:

        fs/netfs/buffered_read.c        Create read reqs to the pagecache
        fs/netfs/io.c                   Dispatchers for read and write reqs
        fs/netfs/main.c                 Some general miscellaneous bits
        fs/netfs/objects.c              Alloc, get and put functions
        fs/netfs/stats.c                Optional procfs statistics.

  and future development can be fitted into this scheme, e.g.:

        fs/netfs/buffered_write.c       Modify the pagecache
        fs/netfs/buffered_flush.c       Writeback from the pagecache
        fs/netfs/direct_read.c          DIO read support
        fs/netfs/direct_write.c         DIO write support
        fs/netfs/unbuffered_write.c     Write modifications directly back

  Beyond the above changes, there are also some changes that affect how
  things work:

   - Make fscache_end_operation() generally available.

   - In the netfs tracing header, generate enums from the symbol -&gt;
     string mapping tables rather than manually coding them.

   - Add a struct for filesystems that uses netfslib to put into their
     inode wrapper structs to hold extra state that netfslib is
     interested in, such as the fscache cookie. This allows netfslib
     functions to be set in filesystem operation tables and jumped to
     directly without having to have a filesystem wrapper.

   - Add a member to the struct added above to track the remote inode
     length as that may differ if local modifications are buffered. We
     may need to supply an appropriate EOF pointer when storing data (in
     AFS for example).

   - Pass extra information to netfs_alloc_request() so that the
     -&gt;init_request() hook can access it and retain information to
     indicate the origin of the operation.

   - Make the -&gt;init_request() hook return an error, thereby allowing a
     filesystem that isn't allowed to cache an inode (ceph or cifs, for
     example) to skip readahead.

   - Switch to using refcount_t for subrequests and add tracepoints to
     log refcount changes for the request and subrequest structs.

   - Add a function to consolidate dispatching a read request. Similar
     code is used in three places and another couple are likely to be
     added in the future"
