fscache: Fix the volume collision wait condition

2022-01-21T21:36:28+00:00

The condition that the waits in fscache_wait_on_volume_collision() are
waiting until are inverted.  This suddenly started happening on the
upstream kernel with something like the following appearing in dmesg when
running xfstests:

	CacheFiles: cachefiles: Inode already in use: Iafs,example.com,100055

Fix them by inverting the conditions.

nfs: Implement cache I/O by accessing the cache directly

2022-01-10T11:53:25+00:00

Move NFS to using fscache DIO API instead of the old upstream I/O API as
that has been removed.  This is a stopgap solution as the intention is that
at sometime in the future, the cache will move to using larger blocks and
won't be able to store individual pages in order to deal with the potential
for data corruption due to the backing filesystem being able insert/remove
bridging blocks of zeros into its extent list[1].

NFS then reads and writes cache pages synchronously and one page at a time.

The preferred change would be to use the netfs lib, but the new I/O API can
be used directly.  It's just that as the cache now needs to track data for
itself, caching blocks may exceed page size...

This code is somewhat borrowed from my "fallback I/O" patchset[2].

vfs, fscache: Implement pinning of cache usage for writeback

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

Cachefiles has a problem in that it needs to keep the backing file for a
cookie open whilst there are local modifications pending that need to be
written to it.  However, we don't want to keep the file open indefinitely,
as that causes EMFILE/ENFILE/ENOMEM problems.

Reopening the cache file, however, is a problem if this is being done due
to writeback triggered by exit().  Some filesystems will oops if we try to
open a file in that context because they want to access current->fs or
other resources that have already been dismantled.

To get around this, I added the following:

 (1) An inode flag, I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB, to be set on a network filesystem
     inode to indicate that we have a usage count on the cookie caching
     that inode.

 (2) A flag in struct writeback_control, unpinned_fscache_wb, that is set
     when __writeback_single_inode() clears the last dirty page from
     i_pages - at which point it clears I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and sets this
     flag.

     This has to be done here so that clearing I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB can be
     done atomically with the check of PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY that clears
     I_DIRTY_PAGES.

 (3) A function, fscache_set_page_dirty(), which if it is not set, sets
     I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and calls fscache_use_cookie() to pin the cache
     resources.

 (4) A function, fscache_unpin_writeback(), to be called by ->write_inode()
     to unuse the cookie.

 (5) A function, fscache_clear_inode_writeback(), to be called when the
     inode is evicted, before clear_inode() is called.  This cleans up any
     lingering I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB.

The network filesystem can then use these tools to make sure that
fscache_write_to_cache() can write locally modified data to the cache as
well as to the server.

For the future, I'm working on write helpers for netfs lib that should
allow this facility to be removed by keeping track of the dirty regions
separately - but that's incomplete at the moment and is also going to be
affected by folios, one way or another, since it deals with pages

fscache: Implement higher-level write I/O interface

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

Provide a higher-level function than fscache_write() to perform a write
from an inode's pagecache to the cache, whilst fending off concurrent
writes by means of the PG_fscache mark on a page:

	void fscache_write_to_cache(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				    struct address_space *mapping,
				    loff_t start,
				    size_t len,
				    loff_t i_size,
				    netfs_io_terminated_t term_func,
				    void *term_func_priv,
				    bool caching);

If caching is false, this function does nothing except call (*term_func)()
if given.  It assumes that, in such a case, PG_fscache will not have been
set on the pages.

Otherwise, if caching is true, this function requires the source pages to
have had PG_fscache set on them before calling.  start and len define the
region of the file to be modified and i_size indicates the new file size.
The source pages are extracted from the mapping.

term_func and term_func_priv work as for fscache_write().  The PG_fscache
marks will be cleared at the end of the operation, before term_func is
called or the function otherwise returns.

There is an additonal helper function to clear the PG_fscache bits from a
range of pages:

	void fscache_clear_page_bits(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
				     struct address_space *mapping,
				     loff_t start, size_t len,
				     bool caching);

If caching is true, the pages to be managed are expected to be located on
mapping in the range defined by start and len.  If caching is false, it
does nothing.
