netfs, fscache: Move fs/fscache/* into fs/netfs/

2023-12-24T11:36:00+00:00

There's a problem with dependencies between netfslib and fscache as each
wants to access some functions of the other.  Deal with this by moving
fs/fscache/* into fs/netfs/ and renaming those files to begin with
"fscache-".

For the moment, the moved files are changed as little as possible and an
fscache module is still built.  A subsequent patch will integrate them.

fscache: Move fscache_cookies_seq_ops specific code under CONFIG_PROC_FS

2022-04-08T22:54:37+00:00

fscache_cookies_seq_ops is only used in proc.c that is compiled under
enabled CONFIG_PROC_FS, so move related code under this config. The
same case exsits in internal.h.

Also, make fscache_lru_cookie_timeout static due to no user outside
of cookie.c.

fscache: export fscache_end_operation()

2022-03-18T09:23:34+00:00

Export fscache_end_operation() to avoid code duplication.

Besides, considering the paired fscache_begin_read_operation() is
already exported, it shall make sense to also export
fscache_end_operation().

fscache: Provide a function to resize a cookie

2022-01-07T13:40:33+00:00

Provide a function to change the size of the storage attached to a cookie,
to match the size of the file being cached when it's changed by truncate or
fallocate:

	void fscache_resize_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				   loff_t new_size);

This acts synchronously and is expected to run under the inode lock of the
caller.

fscache: Provide a means to begin an operation

2022-01-07T09:22:19+00:00

Provide a function to begin a read operation:

	int fscache_begin_read_operation(
		struct netfs_cache_resources *cres,
		struct fscache_cookie *cookie)

This is primarily intended to be called by network filesystems on behalf of
netfslib, but may also be called to use the I/O access functions directly.
It attaches the resources required by the cache to cres struct from the
supplied cookie.

This holds access to the cache behind the cookie for the duration of the
operation and forces cache withdrawal and cookie invalidation to perform
synchronisation on the operation.  cres->inval_counter is set from the
cookie at this point so that it can be compared at the end of the
operation.

Note that this does not guarantee that the cache state is fully set up and
able to perform I/O immediately; looking up and creation may be left in
progress in the background.  The operations intended to be called by the
network filesystem, such as reading and writing, are expected to wait for
the cookie to move to the correct state.

This will, however, potentially sleep, waiting for a certain minimum state
to be set or for operations such as invalidate to advance far enough that
I/O can resume.


Also provide a function for the cache to call to wait for the cache object
to get to a state where it can be used for certain things:

	bool fscache_wait_for_operation(struct netfs_cache_resources *cres,
					enum fscache_want_stage stage);

This looks at the cache resources provided by the begin function and waits
for them to get to an appropriate stage.  There's a choice of wanting just
some parameters (FSCACHE_WANT_PARAM) or the ability to do I/O
(FSCACHE_WANT_READ or FSCACHE_WANT_WRITE).

fscache: Implement cookie invalidation

2022-01-07T09:22:19+00:00

Add a function to invalidate the cache behind a cookie:

	void fscache_invalidate(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				const void *aux_data,
				loff_t size,
				unsigned int flags)

This causes any cached data for the specified cookie to be discarded.  If
the cookie is marked as being in use, a new cache object will be created if
possible and future I/O will use that instead.  In-flight I/O should be
abandoned (writes) or reconsidered (reads).  Each time it is called
cookie->inval_counter is incremented and this can be used to detect
invalidation at the end of an I/O operation.

The coherency data attached to the cookie can be updated and the cookie
size should be reset.  One flag is available, FSCACHE_INVAL_DIO_WRITE,
which should be used to indicate invalidation due to a DIO write on a
file.  This will temporarily disable caching for this cookie.

ver #2:
 - Should only change to inval state if can get access to cache.

fscache: Implement cookie user counting and resource pinning

2022-01-07T09:22:19+00:00

Provide a pair of functions to count the number of users of a cookie (open
files, writeback, invalidation, resizing, reads, writes), to obtain and pin
resources for the cookie and to prevent culling for the whilst there are
users.

The first function marks a cookie as being in use:

	void fscache_use_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				bool will_modify);

The caller should indicate the cookie to use and whether or not the caller
is in a context that may modify the cookie (e.g. a file open O_RDWR).

If the cookie is not already resourced, fscache will ask the cache backend
in the background to do whatever it needs to look up, create or otherwise
obtain the resources necessary to access data.  This is pinned to the
cookie and may not be culled, though it may be withdrawn if the cache as a
whole is withdrawn.

The second function removes the in-use mark from a cookie and, optionally,
updates the coherency data:

	void fscache_unuse_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				  const void *aux_data,
				  const loff_t *object_size);

If non-NULL, the aux_data buffer and/or the object_size will be saved into
the cookie and will be set on the backing store when the object is
committed.

If this removes the last usage on a cookie, the cookie is placed onto an
LRU list from which it will be removed and closed after a couple of seconds
if it doesn't get reused.  This prevents resource overload in the cache -
in particular it prevents it from holding too many files open.

Changes
=======
ver #2:
 - Fix fscache_unuse_cookie() to use atomic_dec_and_lock() to avoid a
   potential race if the cookie gets reused before it completes the
   unusement.
 - Added missing transition to LRU_DISCARDING state.

fscache: Implement cookie-level access helpers

2022-01-07T09:22:19+00:00

Add a number of helper functions to manage access to a cookie, pinning the
cache object in place for the duration to prevent cache withdrawal from
removing it:

 (1) void fscache_init_access_gate(struct fscache_cookie *cookie);

     This function initialises the access count when a cache binds to a
     cookie.  An extra ref is taken on the access count to prevent wakeups
     while the cache is active.  We're only interested in the wakeup when a
     cookie is being withdrawn and we're waiting for it to quiesce - at
     which point the counter will be decremented before the wait.

     The FSCACHE_COOKIE_NACC_ELEVATED flag is set on the cookie to keep
     track of the extra ref in order to handle a race between
     relinquishment and withdrawal both trying to drop the extra ref.

 (2) bool fscache_begin_cookie_access(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				      enum fscache_access_trace why);

     This function attempts to begin access upon a cookie, pinning it in
     place if it's cached.  If successful, it returns true and leaves a the
     access count incremented.

 (3) void fscache_end_cookie_access(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				    enum fscache_access_trace why);

     This function drops the access count obtained by (2), permitting
     object withdrawal to take place when it reaches zero.

A tracepoint is provided to track changes to the access counter on a
cookie.

Changes
=======
ver #2:
 - Don't hold n_accesses elevated whilst cache is bound to a cookie, but
   rather add a flag that prevents the state machine from being queued when
   n_accesses reaches 0.

fscache: Implement volume-level access helpers

2022-01-07T09:22:19+00:00

Add a pair of helper functions to manage access to a volume, pinning the
volume in place for the duration to prevent cache withdrawal from removing
it:

	bool fscache_begin_volume_access(struct fscache_volume *volume,
					 enum fscache_access_trace why);
	void fscache_end_volume_access(struct fscache_volume *volume,
				       enum fscache_access_trace why);

The way the access gate on the volume works/will work is:

  (1) If the cache tests as not live (state is not FSCACHE_CACHE_IS_ACTIVE),
      then we return false to indicate access was not permitted.

  (2) If the cache tests as live, then we increment the volume's n_accesses
      count and then recheck the cache liveness, ending the access if it
      ceased to be live.

  (3) When we end the access, we decrement the volume's n_accesses and wake
      up the any waiters if it reaches 0.

  (4) Whilst the cache is caching, the volume's n_accesses is kept
      artificially incremented to prevent wakeups from happening.

  (5) When the cache is taken offline, the state is changed to prevent new
      accesses, the volume's n_accesses is decremented and we wait for it to
      become 0.

	void fscache_end_cache_access(struct fscache_cache *cache,
