If a program is watching a file on a 9p mount, it won't see any change in
size if the file being exported by the server is changed directly in the
source filesystem, presumably because 9p doesn't have change notifications,
and because netfs skips the reads if the file is empty.
Fix this by attempting to read the full size specified when a DIO read is
requested (such as when 9p is operating in unbuffered mode) and dealing
with a short read if the EOF was less than the expected read.
To make this work, filesystems using netfslib must not set
NETFS_SREQ_CLEAR_TAIL if performing a DIO read where that read hit the EOF.
I don't want to mandatorily clear this flag in netfslib for DIO because,
say, ceph might make a read from an object that is not completely filled,
but does not reside at the end of file - and so we need to clear the
excess.
This can be tested by watching an empty file over 9p within a VM (such as
in the ktest framework):
while true; do read content; if [ -n "$content" ]; then echo $content; break; fi; done < /host/tmp/foo
then writing something into the empty file. The watcher should immediately
display the file content and break out of the loop. Without this fix, it
remains in the loop indefinitely.

In 9p2000 legacy mode, stat2inode initializes nlink to 1,
which is redundant with what alloc_inode should have already set.
9p2000.u overrides this with extensions if present in the stat
structure, and 9p2000.L incorporates nlink into its stat structure.
At the very least this probably messes with directory nlink
accounting in legacy mode.

I'm not sure why this check was ever here. After updating to 6.6 I
suddenly found caching had been turned on by default and neither
cache=none nor the new directio would turn it off. After walking through
the new code very manually I realized that it's because the caching has
to be, in effect, turned off explicitly by setting P9L_DIRECT and
whenever a file has a flag, in my case QTAPPEND, it doesn't get set.
Setting aside QTDIR which seems to ignore the new fid->mode entirely,
the rest of these either should be subject to the same cache rules as
every other QTFILE or perhaps very explicitly not cached in the case of
QTAUTH.

If an iget fails due to not being able to retrieve information
from the server then the inode structure is only partially
initialized. When the inode gets evicted, references to
uninitialized structures (like fscache cookies) were being
made.
This patch checks for a bad_inode before doing anything other
than clearing the inode from the cache. Since the inode is
bad, it shouldn't have any state associated with it that needs
to be written back (and there really isn't a way to complete
those anyways).

In v9fs_upload_to_server(), we pass the error to netfslib to terminate the

Further, we assume that the write is always entirely done if successful -
but it might have been partially complete - as returned by
p9_client_write(), but we ignore that.
Fix this by indicating the amount written by preference and only returning
the error if we didn't write anything.

might be useful as to whether we retry or not.)

Track the file position above which the server is not expected to have any
data (the "zero point") and preemptively assume that we can satisfy
requests by filling them with zeroes locally rather than attempting to
download them if they're over that line - even if we've written data back
to the server. Assume that any data that was written back above that
position is held in the local cache. Note that we have to split requests
that straddle the line.
Make use of this to optimise away some reads from the server. We need to
set the zero point in the following circumstances:
(1) When we see an extant remote inode and have no cache for it, we set
the zero_point to i_size.
(2) On local inode creation, we set zero_point to 0.
(3) On local truncation down, we reduce zero_point to the new i_size if
the new i_size is lower.
(4) On local truncation up, we don't change zero_point.
(5) On local modification, we don't change zero_point.
(6) On remote invalidation, we set zero_point to the new i_size.
(7) If stored data is discarded from the pagecache or culled from fscache,
we must set zero_point above that if the data also got written to the
server.
(8) If dirty data is written back to the server, but not fscache, we must
set zero_point above that.
(9) If a direct I/O write is made, set zero_point above that.
Assuming the above, any read from the server at or above the zero_point
position will return all zeroes.
The zero_point value can be stored in the cache, provided the above rules
are applied to it by any code that culls part of the local cache.

Note that this mechanism could be more generically useful than that for
network filesystems. Quite often they have to keep around other resources
(e.g. authentication tokens or network connections) until the writeback is
complete.

Merge tag 'v6.6-vfs.ctime' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs,
xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant
filesystems.
The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime
and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems
to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per
jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.
Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
client decide to invalidate the cache.
Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support
a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp
granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps
(e.g., backup applications).
If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve
the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.
This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are
actively queried.
This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that
something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag
is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a
fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.
As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime
must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so
only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.
Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
coarse-grained timestamps.
Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included:
- Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime
together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all
maintainers provided necessary Acks.
- Add new accessors for inode->i_ctime directly and change all
callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode->i_ctime are now
gone and it is accordingly rename to inode->__i_ctime and commented
as requiring accessors.
- Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a
sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request
mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in.
- Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now
parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers.
- Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it
removing a bunch of open-coding"

Fscache has an optimisation by which reads from the cache are skipped
until we know that (a) there's data there to be read and (b) that data
isn't entirely covered by pages resident in the netfs pagecache. This is
done with two flags manipulated by fscache_note_page_release():
if (...
test_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_HAVE_DATA, &cookie->flags) &&
test_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ, &cookie->flags))
clear_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ, &cookie->flags);
where the NO_DATA_TO_READ flag causes cachefiles_prepare_read() to
indicate that netfslib should download from the server or clear the page
instead.
The fscache_note_page_release() function is intended to be called from
->releasepage() - but that only gets called if PG_private or PG_private_2
is set - and currently the former is at the discretion of the network
filesystem and the latter is only set whilst a page is being written to
the cache, so sometimes we miss clearing the optimisation.
Fix this by following Willy's suggestion[1] and adding an address_space
flag, AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS, that causes filemap_release_folio() to always call
->release_folio() if it's set, even if PG_private or PG_private_2 aren't
set.
Note that this would require folio_test_private() and page_has_private() to
become more complicated. To avoid that, in the places[*] where these are
used to conditionalise calls to filemap_release_folio() and
try_to_release_page(), the tests are removed the those functions just
jumped to unconditionally and the test is performed there.
[*] There are some exceptions in vmscan.c where the check guards more than
just a call to the releaser. I've added a function, folio_needs_release()
to wrap all the checks for that.
AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS should be set if a non-NULL cookie is obtained from
fscache and cleared in ->evict_inode() before truncate_inode_pages_final()
is called.
Additionally, the FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ flag needs to be cleared
and the optimisation cancelled if a cachefiles object already contains data
when we open it.
