It's possible for a request to invalidate a fscache_cookie will come in
while we're already processing an invalidation. If that happens we
currently take an extra access reference that will leak. Only call
__fscache_begin_cookie_access if the FSCACHE_COOKIE_DO_INVALIDATE bit
was previously clear.
Also, ensure that we attempt to clear the bit when the cookie is
"FAILED" and put the reference to avoid an access leak.

If an NFS file is opened for writing and closed, fscache_invalidate() will
be asked to invalidate the file - however, if the cookie is in the
LOOKING_UP state (or the CREATING state), then request to invalidate
doesn't get recorded for fscache_cookie_state_machine() to do something
with.
Fix this by making __fscache_invalidate() set a flag if it sees the cookie
is in the LOOKING_UP state to indicate that we need to go to invalidation.
Note that this requires a count on the n_accesses counter for the state
machine, which that will release when it's done.
fscache_cookie_state_machine() then shifts to the INVALIDATING state if it
sees the flag.
Without this, an nfs file can get corrupted if it gets modified locally and
then read locally as the cache contents may not get updated.

Merge tag 'netfs-prep-20220318' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs
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 ->init_rreq() and ->issue_op() methods become ->init_request()
and ->issue_read(). I've kept the latter as a read-specific
function and in another branch added an ->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 ->
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
->init_request() hook can access it and retain information to
indicate the origin of the operation.
- Make the ->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"

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

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.

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).

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.

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.

Add a pair of helper functions to manage access to a volume, pinning the

enum fscache_access_trace why);

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

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.

Add functions to the fscache API to allow data file cookies to be acquired
and relinquished by the network filesystem. It is intended that the
filesystem will create such cookies per-inode under a volume.
To request a cookie, the filesystem should call:
struct fscache_cookie *
fscache_acquire_cookie(struct fscache_volume *volume,
u8 advice,
const void *index_key,
size_t index_key_len,
const void *aux_data,
size_t aux_data_len,
loff_t object_size)
The filesystem must first have created a volume cookie, which is passed in
here. If it passes in NULL then the function will just return a NULL
cookie.
A binary key should be passed in index_key and is of size index_key_len.
This is saved in the cookie and is used to locate the associated data in
the cache.
A coherency data buffer of size aux_data_len will be allocated and
initialised from the buffer pointed to by aux_data. This is used to
validate cache objects when they're opened and is stored on disk with them
when they're committed. The data is stored in the cookie and will be
updateable by various functions in later patches.
The object_size must also be given. This is also used to perform a
coherency check and to size the backing storage appropriately.
This function disallows a cookie from being acquired twice in parallel,
though it will cause the second user to wait if the first is busy
relinquishing its cookie.
When a network filesystem has finished with a cookie, it should call:
void
fscache_relinquish_cookie(struct fscache_volume *volume,
bool retire)
If retire is true, any backing data will be discarded immediately.
Changes
=======
ver #3:
- fscache_hash()'s size parameter is now in bytes. Use __le32 as the unit
to round up to.
- When comparing cookies, simply see if the attributes are the same rather
than subtracting them to produce a strcmp-style return[1].
- Add a check to see if the cookie is still hashed at the point of
freeing.
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.
- Remove the unused cookie pointer field from the fscache_acquire
tracepoint.

Add functions to the fscache API to allow volumes to be acquired and
relinquished by the network filesystem. A volume is an index of data
storage cache objects. A volume is represented by a volume cookie in the
API. A filesystem would typically create a volume for a superblock and
then create per-inode cookies within it.
To request a volume, the filesystem calls:
struct fscache_volume *
fscache_acquire_volume(const char *volume_key,
const char *cache_name,
const void *coherency_data,
size_t coherency_len)
The volume_key is a printable string used to match the volume in the cache.
It should not contain any '/' characters. For AFS, for example, this would
be "afs,<cellname>,<volume_id>", e.g. "afs,example.com,523001".
The cache_name can be NULL, but if not it should be a string indicating the
name of the cache to use if there's more than one available.
The coherency data, if given, is an arbitrarily-sized blob that's attached
to the volume and is compared when the volume is looked up. If it doesn't
match, the old volume is judged to be out of date and it and everything
within it is discarded.
Acquiring a volume twice concurrently is disallowed, though the function
will wait if an old volume cookie is being relinquishing.
When a network filesystem has finished with a volume, it should return the
volume cookie by calling:
void
fscache_relinquish_volume(struct fscache_volume *volume,
const void *coherency_data,
bool invalidate)
If invalidate is true, the entire volume will be discarded; if false, the
volume will be synced and the coherency data will be updated.
Changes
=======
ver #4:
- Removed an extraneous param from kdoc on fscache_relinquish_volume()[3].
ver #3:
- fscache_hash()'s size parameter is now in bytes. Use __le32 as the unit
to round up to.
- When comparing cookies, simply see if the attributes are the same rather
than subtracting them to produce a strcmp-style return[2].
- Make the coherency data an arbitrary blob rather than a u64, but don't
store it for the moment.
ver #2:
- Fix error check[1].
- Make a fscache_acquire_volume() return errors, including EBUSY if a
conflicting volume cookie already exists. No error is printed now -
that's left to the netfs.

fscache_cookie_put() accesses the cookie it has just put inside the
tracepoint that monitors the change - but this is something it's not
allowed to do if we didn't reduce the count to zero.
Fix this by dropping most of those values from the tracepoint and grabbing
the cookie debug ID before doing the dec.
Also take the opportunity to switch over the usage and where arguments on
the tracepoint to put the reason last.

The current hash algorithm used for hashing cookie keys is really bad,
producing almost no dispersion (after a test kernel build, ~30000 files
were split over just 18 out of the 32768 hash buckets).
Borrow the full_name_hash() hash function into fscache to do the hashing
for cookie keys and, in the future, volume keys.
I don't want to use full_name_hash() as-is because I want the hash value to
be consistent across arches and over time as the hash value produced may
get used on disk.
I can also optimise parts of it away as the key will always be a padded
array of aligned 32-bit words.
