Currently, the cifs I/O paths hand lists of pages from the VM interface
routines at the top all the way through the intervening layers to the
socket interface at the bottom.
This is a problem, however, for interfacing with netfslib which passes an
iterator through to the ->issue_read() method (and will pass an iterator
through to the ->issue_write() method in future). Netfslib takes over
bounce buffering for direct I/O, async I/O and encrypted content, so cifs
doesn't need to do that. Netfslib also converts IOVEC-type iterators into
BVEC-type iterators if necessary.
Further, cifs needs foliating - and folios may come in a variety of sizes,
so a page list pointing to an array of heterogeneous pages may cause
problems in places such as where crypto is done.
Change the cifs I/O paths to hand iov_iter iterators all the way through
instead.
Notes:
(1) Some old routines are #if'd out to be removed in a follow up patch so
as to avoid confusing diff, thereby making the diff output easier to
follow. I've removed functions that don't overlap with anything
added.
(2) struct smb_rqst loses rq_pages, rq_offset, rq_npages, rq_pagesz and
rq_tailsz which describe the pages forming the buffer; instead there's
an rq_iter describing the source buffer and an rq_buffer which is used
to hold the buffer for encryption.
(3) struct cifs_readdata and cifs_writedata are similarly modified to
smb_rqst. The ->read_into_pages() and ->copy_into_pages() are then
replaced with passing the iterator directly to the socket.
The iterators are stored in these structs so that they are persistent
and don't get deallocated when the function returns (unlike if they
were stack variables).
(4) Buffered writeback is overhauled, borrowing the code from the afs
filesystem to gather up contiguous runs of folios. The XARRAY-type
iterator is then used to refer directly to the pagecache and can be
passed to the socket to transmit data directly from there.
This includes:
cifs_extend_writeback()
cifs_write_back_from_locked_folio()
cifs_writepages_region()
cifs_writepages()
(5) Pages are converted to folios.
(6) Direct I/O uses netfs_extract_user_iter() to create a BVEC-type
iterator from an IOBUF/UBUF-type source iterator.
(7) smb2_get_aead_req() uses netfs_extract_iter_to_sg() to extract page
fragments from the iterator into the scatterlists that the crypto
layer prefers.
(8) smb2_init_transform_rq() attached pages to smb_rqst::rq_buffer, an
xarray, to use as a bounce buffer for encryption. An XARRAY-type
iterator can then be used to pass the bounce buffer to lower layers.

This is the client VFS module for the SMB3 family of network file
|
|
protocols (including the most recent, most secure dialect SMB3.1.1).
|
|
This module also includes support for earlier dialects such as
|
|
SMB2.1, SMB2 and even the old Common Internet File System (CIFS)
|
|
protocol. CIFS was the successor to the original network filesystem
|
|
protocol, Server Message Block (SMB ie SMB1), the native file sharing
|
|
mechanism for most early PC operating systems.
|
|
|
|
The SMB3.1.1 protocol is supported by most modern operating systems
|
|
and NAS appliances (e.g. Samba, Windows 11, Windows Server 2022,
|
|
MacOS) and even in the cloud (e.g. Microsoft Azure) and also by the
|
|
Linux kernel server, ksmbd. Support for the older CIFS protocol was
|
|
included in Windows NT4, 2000 and XP (and later). Use of dialects
|
|
older than SMB2.1 is often discouraged on public networks.
|
|
This module also provides limited support for OS/2 and Windows ME
|
|
and similar very old servers.
|
|
|
|
This module provides an advanced network file system client for
|
|
mounting to SMB3 (and CIFS) compliant servers. It includes support
|
|
for DFS (hierarchical name space), secure per-user session
|
|
establishment via Kerberos or NTLMv2, RDMA (smbdirect), advanced
|
|
security features, per-share encryption, packet-signing, snapshots,
|
|
directory leases, safe distributed caching (leases), multichannel,
|
|
Unicode and other internationalization improvements.
|
|
|
|
In general, the default dialects, SMB3 and later, enable better
|
|
performance, security and features, than would be possible with CIFS.
|
|
|
|
If you need to mount to Samba, Azure, ksmbd, Macs or Windows from this
|
|
machine, say Y.

Modern dialects, SMB2.1 and later (including SMB3 and 3.1.1), have

additional security features, including protection against

man-in-the-middle attacks and stronger crypto hashes, so the use
|
|
of legacy dialects (SMB1/CIFS and SMB2.0) is discouraged.

Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by

the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page for details).
|
|
CIFS maps the name of extended attributes beginning with the user
|
|
namespace prefix to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows
|
|
servers without the user namespace prefix, but their names are
|
|
seen by Linux cifs clients prefaced by the user namespace prefix.

The system namespace (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is

not supported at this time.
