Fix netfslib's read-retry to only call -&gt;prepare_read() in the backing
filesystem such a function is provided.  We can get to this point if a
there's an active cache as failed reads from the cache need negotiating
with the server instead.

<title>netfs: Fix kernel async DIO</title>

<id>3f6bc9e3ab9b127171d39f9ac6eca1abb693b731</id>
<content type='text'>
Netfslib needs to be able to handle kernel-initiated asynchronous DIO that
is supplied with a bio_vec[] array.  Currently, because of the async flag,
this gets passed to netfs_extract_user_iter() which throws a warning and
fails because it only handles IOVEC and UBUF iterators.  This can be
triggered through a combination of cifs and a loopback blockdev with
something like:

        mount //my/cifs/share /foo
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/foo/m0 bs=4K count=1K
        losetup --sector-size 4096 --direct-io=on /dev/loop2046 /foo/m0
        echo hello &gt;/dev/loop2046

This causes the following to appear in syslog:

        WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 109 at fs/netfs/iterator.c:50 netfs_extract_user_iter+0x170/0x250 [netfs]

and the write to fail.

Fix this by removing the check in netfs_unbuffered_write_iter_locked() that
causes async kernel DIO writes to be handled as userspace writes.  Note
that this change relies on the kernel caller maintaining the existence of
the bio_vec array (or kvec[] or folio_queue) until the op is complete.

netfs: Fix is-caching check in read-retry

The read-retry code checks the NETFS_RREQ_COPY_TO_CACHE flag to determine
if there might be failed reads from the cache that need turning into reads
from the server, with the intention of skipping the complicated part if it
can.  The code that set the flag, however, got lost during the read-side
rewrite.

Fix the check to see if the cache_resources are valid instead.  The flag
can then be removed.

<title>netfs: Fix the (non-)cancellation of copy when cache is temporarily disabled</title>

<content type='text'>
When the caching for a cookie is temporarily disabled (e.g. due to a DIO
write on that file), future copying to the cache for that file is disabled
until all fds open on that file are closed.  However, if netfslib is using
the deprecated PG_private_2 method (such as is currently used by ceph), and
decides it wants to copy to the cache, netfs_advance_write() will just bail
at the first check seeing that the cache stream is unavailable, and
indicate that it dealt with all the content.

This means that we have no subrequests to provide notifications to drive
the state machine or even to pin the request and the request just gets
discarded, leaving the folios with PG_private_2 set.

Fix this by jumping directly to cancel the request if the cache is not
available.  That way, we don't remove mark3 from the folio_queue list and
netfs_pgpriv2_cancel() will clean up the folios.

This was found by running the generic/013 xfstest against ceph with an
active cache and the "-o fsc" option passed to ceph.  That would usually
hang

At the end of netfs_unlock_read_folio() in which folios are marked
appropriately for copying to the cache (either with by being marked dirty
and having their private data set or by having PG_private_2 set) and then
unlocked, the folio_queue struct has the entry pointing to the folio
cleared.  This presents a problem for netfs_pgpriv2_write_to_the_cache(),
which is used to write folios marked with PG_private_2 to the cache as it
expects to be able to trawl the folio_queue list thereafter to find the
relevant folios, leading to a hang.

Fix this by not clearing the folio_queue entry if we're going to do the
deprecated copy-to-cache.  The clearance will be done instead as the folios
are written to the cache.

This can be reproduced by starting cachefiles, mounting a ceph filesystem
with "-o fsc" and writing to it.

<title>netfs: Work around recursion by abandoning retry if nothing read</title>

<id>4acb665cf4f3e5436844f17ece0a8a55ce688c7b</id>
<content type='text'>
syzkaller reported recursion with a loop of three calls (netfs_rreq_assess,
netfs_retry_reads and netfs_rreq_terminated) hitting the limit of the stack
during an unbuffered or direct I/O read.

There are a number of issues:

 (1) There is no limit on the number of retries.

 (2) A subrequest is supposed to be abandoned if it does not transfer
     anything (NETFS_SREQ_NO_PROGRESS), but that isn't checked under all
     circumstances.

 (3) The actual root cause, which is this:

	if (atomic_dec_and_test(&amp;rreq-&gt;nr_outstanding))
		netfs_rreq_terminated(rreq, ...);

     When we do a retry, we bump the rreq-&gt;nr_outstanding counter to
     prevent the final cleanup phase running before we've finished
     dispatching the retries.  The problem is if we hit 0, we have to do
     the cleanup phase - but we're in the cleanup phase and end up
     repeating the retry cycle, hence the recursion.

Work around the problem by limiting the number of retries.  This is based
on Lizhi Xu's patch[1], and makes the following changes:

 (1) Replace NETFS_SREQ_NO_PROGRESS with NETFS_SREQ_MADE_PROGRESS and make
     the filesystem set it if it managed to read or write at least one byte
     of data.  Clear this bit before issuing a subrequest.

 (2) Add a -&gt;retry_count member to the subrequest and increment it any time
     we do a retry.

 (3) Remove the NETFS_SREQ_RETRYING flag as it is superfluous with
     -&gt;retry_count.  If the latter is non-zero, we're doing a retry.

 (4) Abandon a subrequest if retry_count is non-zero and we made no
     progress.

 (5) Use -&gt;retry_count in both the write-side and the read-size.

[?] Question: Should I set a hard limit on retry_count in both read and
    write?  Say it hits 50, we always abandon it.  The problem is that
    these changes only mitigate the issue.  As long as it made at least one
    byte of progress, the recursion is still an issue.  This patch
    mitigates the problem, but does not fix the underlying cause.  I have
    patches that will do that, but it's an intrusive fix that's currently
    pending for the next merge window.

The oops generated by KASAN looks something like:

<pre>
syzkaller reported recursion with a loop of three calls (netfs_rreq_assess,
netfs_retry_reads and netfs_rreq_terminated) hitting the limit of the stack
during an unbuffered or direct I/O read.

There are a number of issues:

 (1) There is no limit on the number of retries.

 (2) A subrequest is supposed to be abandoned if it does not transfer
     anything (NETFS_SREQ_NO_PROGRESS), but that isn't checked under all
     circumstances.

 (3) The actual root cause, which is this:

	if (atomic_dec_and_test(&amp;rreq-&gt;nr_outstanding))
		netfs_rreq_terminated(rreq, ...);

     When we do a retry, we bump the rreq-&gt;nr_outstanding counter to
     prevent the final cleanup phase running before we've finished
     dispatching the retries.  The problem is if we hit 0, we have to do
     the cleanup phase - but we're in the cleanup phase and end up
     repeating the retry cycle, hence the recursion.

Work around the problem by limiting the number of retries.  This is based
on Lizhi Xu's patch[1], and makes the following changes:

 (1) Replace NETFS_SREQ_NO_PROGRESS with NETFS_SREQ_MADE_PROGRESS and make
     the filesystem set it if it managed to read or write at least one byte
     of data.  Clear this bit before issuing a subrequest.

 (2) Add a -&gt;retry_count member to the subrequest and increment it any time
     we do a retry.

 (3) Remove the NETFS_SREQ_RETRYING flag as it is superfluous with
     -&gt;retry_count.  If the latter is non-zero, we're doing a retry.

 (4) Abandon a subrequest if retry_count is non-zero and we made no
     progress.

 (5) Use -&gt;retry_count in both the write-side and the read-size.

[?] Question: Should I set a hard limit on retry_count in both read and
    write?  Say it hits 50, we always abandon it.  The problem is that
    these changes only mitigate the issue.  As long as it made at least one
    byte of progress, the recursion is still an issue.  This patch
    mitigates the problem, but does not fix the underlying cause.  I have
    patches that will do that, but it's an intrusive fix that's currently
    pending for the next merge window.

The oops generated by KASAN looks something like:

   BUG: TASK stack guard page was hit at ffffc9000482ff48 (stack is ffffc90004830000..ffffc90004838000)

	clear_bit_unlock(NETFS_RREQ_IN_PROGRESS, &amp;rreq-&gt;flags);
	wake_up_bit(&amp;rreq-&gt;flags, NETFS_RREQ_IN_PROGRESS);

as there needs to be a barrier inserted between which is present in
clear_and_wake_up_bit().

<title>netfs: Remove redundant use of smp_rmb()</title>

<id>f4d3cde410cc62b5483f59f0f3454a5c5203a2cb</id>
<content type='text'>
The function netfs_unbuffered_write_iter_locked() in
fs/netfs/direct_write.c contains an unnecessary smp_rmb() call after
wait_on_bit(). Since wait_on_bit() already incorporates a memory barrier
that ensures the flag update is visible before the function returns, the
smp_rmb() provides no additional benefit and incurs unnecessary overhead.

This patch removes the redundant barrier to simplify and optimize the code.

<title>netfs: Fix enomem handling in buffered reads</title>

If netfs_read_to_pagecache() gets an error from either -&gt;prepare_read() or
from netfs_prepare_read_iterator(), it needs to decrement -&gt;nr_outstanding,
cancel the subrequest and break out of the issuing loop.  Currently, it
only does this for two of the cases, but there are two more that aren't
handled.

Fix this by moving the handling to a common place and jumping to it from
all four places.  This is in preference to inserting a wrapper around
netfs_prepare_read_iterator() as proposed by Dmitry Antipov[1].

<title>netfs: Fix non-contiguous donation between completed reads</title>

<id>c8b90d40d5bba8e6fba457b8a7c10d3c0d467e37</id>
<content type='text'>
When a read subrequest finishes, if it doesn't have sufficient coverage to
complete the folio(s) covering either side of it, it will donate the excess
coverage to the adjacent subrequests on either side, offloading
responsibility for unlocking the folio(s) covered to them.

Now, preference is given to donating down to a lower file offset over
donating up because that check is done first - but there's no check that
the lower subreq is actually contiguous, and so we can end up donating
incorrectly.

The scenario seen[1] is that an 8MiB readahead request spanning four 2MiB
folios is split into eight 1MiB subreqs (numbered 1 through 8).  These
terminate in the order 1,6,2,5,3,7,4,8.  What happens is:

	- 1 donates to 2
	- 6 donates to 5
	- 2 completes, unlocking the first folio (with 1).
	- 5 completes, unlocking the third folio (with 6).
	- 3 donates to 4
	- 7 donates to 4 incorrectly
	- 4 completes, unlocking the second folio (with 3), but can't use
	  the excess from 7.
	- 8 donates to 4, also incorrectly.

Fix this by preventing downward donation if the subreqs are not contiguous
(in the example above, 7 donates to 4 across the gap left by 5 and 6).

When a read subrequest finishes, if it doesn't have sufficient coverage to
complete the folio(s) covering either side of it, it will donate the excess
coverage to the adjacent subrequests on either side, offloading
responsibility for unlocking the folio(s) covered to them.

Now, preference is given to donating down to a lower file offset over
donating up because that check is done first - but there's no check that
the lower subreq is actually contiguous, and so we can end up donating
incorrectly.

The scenario seen[1] is that an 8MiB readahead request spanning four 2MiB
folios is split into eight 1MiB subreqs (numbered 1 through 8).  These
terminate in the order 1,6,2,5,3,7,4,8.  What happens is:

	- 1 donates to 2
	- 6 donates to 5
	- 2 completes, unlocking the first folio (with 1).
	- 5 completes, unlocking the third folio (with 6).
	- 3 donates to 4
	- 7 donates to 4 incorrectly
	- 4 completes, unlocking the second folio (with 3), but can't use
	  the excess from 7.
	- 8 donates to 4, also incorrectly.

Fix this by preventing downward donation if the subreqs are not contiguous
(in the example above, 7 donates to 4 across the gap left by 5 and 6).
