2024-05-01afs: Use alternative invalidation to using launder_folioDavid Howells1-2/+2
Use writepages-based flushing invalidation instead of invalidate_inode_pages2() and ->launder_folio(). This will allow ->launder_folio() to be removed eventually.

2024-03-14afs: Fix occasional rmdir-then-VNOVNODE with generic/011David Howells1-7/+9
Sometimes generic/011 causes kafs to follow up an FS.RemoveDir RPC call by spending around a second sending a slew of FS.FetchStatus RPC calls to the directory just deleted that then abort with VNOVNODE, indicating deletion of the target directory. This seems to stem from userspace attempting to stat the directory or something in it: afs_select_fileserver+0x46d/0xaa2 afs_wait_for_operation+0x12/0x17e afs_fetch_status+0x56/0x75 afs_validate+0xfb/0x240 afs_permission+0xef/0x1b0 inode_permission+0x90/0x139 link_path_walk.part.0.constprop.0+0x6f/0x2f0 path_lookupat+0x4c/0xfa filename_lookup+0x63/0xd7 vfs_statx+0x62/0x13f vfs_fstatat+0x72/0x8a The issue appears to be that afs_dir_remove_subdir() marks the callback promise as being cancelled by setting the expiry time to AFS_NO_CB_PROMISE - which then confuses afs_validate() which sends the FetchStatus to try and get a new one before it checks for the AFS_VNODE_DELETED flag which indicates that we know the directory got deleted. Fix this by: (1) Make afs_check_validity() return true if AFS_VNODE_DELETED is set, and then tweak the return from afs_validate() if the DELETED flag is set. (2) Move the AFS_VNODE_DELETED check in afs_validate() up above the expiration check to immediately after we've grabbed the validate_lock.

2024-01-01afs: Overhaul invalidation handling to better support RO volumesDavid Howells1-105/+200
Overhaul the third party-induced invalidation handling, making use of the previously added volume-level event counters (cb_scrub and cb_ro_snapshot) that are now being parsed out of the VolSync record returned by the fileserver in many of its replies. This allows better handling of RO (and Backup) volumes. Since these are snapshot of a RW volume that are updated atomically simultantanously across all servers that host them, they only require a single callback promise for the entire volume. The currently upstream code assumes that RO volumes operate in the same manner as RW volumes, and that each file has its own individual callback - which means that it does a status fetch for *every* file in a RO volume, whether or not the volume got "released" (volume callback breaks can occur for other reasons too, such as the volumeserver taking ownership of a volume from a fileserver). To this end, make the following changes: (1) Change the meaning of the volume's cb_v_break counter so that it is now a hint that we need to issue a status fetch to work out the state of a volume. cb_v_break is incremented by volume break callbacks and by server initialisation callbacks. (2) Add a second counter, cb_v_check, to the afs_volume struct such that if this differs from cb_v_break, we need to do a check. When the check is complete, cb_v_check is advanced to what cb_v_break was at the start of the status fetch. (3) Move the list of mmap'd vnodes to the volume and trigger removal of PTEs that map to files on a volume break rather than on a server break. (4) When a server reinitialisation callback comes in, use the server-to-volume reverse mapping added in a preceding patch to iterate over all the volumes using that server and clear the volume callback promises for that server and the general volume promise as a whole to trigger reanalysis. (5) Replace the AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED flag with an AFS_NO_CB_PROMISE (TIME64_MIN) value in the cb_expires_at field, reducing the number of checks we need to make. (6) Change afs_check_validity() to quickly see if various event counters have been incremented or if the vnode or volume callback promise is due to expire/has expired without making any changes to the state. That is now left to afs_validate() as this may get more complicated in future as we may have to examine server records too. (7) Overhaul afs_validate() so that it does a single status fetch if we need to check the state of either the vnode or the volume - and do so under appropriate locking. The function does the following steps: (A) If the vnode/volume is no longer seen as valid, then we take the vnode validation lock and, if the volume promise has expired, the volume check lock also. The latter prevents redundant checks being made to find out if a new version of the volume got released. (B) If a previous RPC call found that the volsync changed unexpectedly or that a RO volume was updated, then we unmap all PTEs pointing to the file to stop mmap being used for access. (C) If the vnode is still seen to be of uncertain validity, then we perform an FS.FetchStatus RPC op to jointly update the volume status and the vnode status. This assessment is done as part of parsing the reply: If the RO volume creation timestamp advances, cb_ro_snapshot is incremented; if either the creation or update timestamps changes in an unexpected way, the cb_scrub counter is incremented If the Data Version returned doesn't match the copy we have locally, then we ask for the pagecache to be zapped. This takes care of handling RO update. (D) If cb_scrub differs between volume and vnode, the vnode's pagecache is zapped and the vnode's cb_scrub is updated unless the file is marked as having been deleted.

2024-01-01afs: Parse the VolSync record in the reply of a number of RPC opsDavid Howells1-2/+197
A number of fileserver RPC operations return a VolSync record as part of their reply that gives some information about the state of the volume being accessed, including: (1) A volume Creation timestamp. For an RW volume, this is the time at which the volume was created; if it changes, the RW volume was presumably restored from a backup and all cached data should be scrubbed as Data Version numbers could regress on the files in the volume. For an RO volume, this is the time it was last snapshotted from the RW volume. It is expected to advance each time this happens; if it regresses, cached data should be scrubbed. (2) A volume Update timestamp (Auristor only). For an RW volume, this is updated any time any change is made to a volume or its contents. If it regresses, all cached data must be scrubbed. For an RO volume, this is a copy of the RW volume's Update timestamp at the point of snapshotting. It can be used as a version number when checking to see if a callback on a RO volume was due to a snapshot. If it regresses, all cached data must be scrubbed. but this is currently not made use of by the in-kernel afs filesystem. Make the afs filesystem use this by: (1) Add an update time field to the afs_volsync struct and use a value of TIME64_MIN in both that and the creation time to indicate that they are unset. (2) Add creation and update time fields to the afs_volume struct and use this to track the two timestamps. (3) Add a volsync_lock mutex to the afs_volume struct to control modification access for when we detect a change in these values. (3) Add a 'pre-op volsync' struct to the afs_operation struct to record the state of the volume tracking before the op. (4) Add a new counter, cb_scrub, to the afs_volume struct to count events that require all data to be scrubbed. A copy is placed in the afs_vnode struct (inode) and if they no longer match, a scrub takes place. (5) When the result of an operation is being parsed, parse the VolSync data too, if it is provided. Note that the two timestamps are handled separately, since they don't work in quite the same way. - If the afs_volume tracking is unset, just set it and do nothing else. - If the result timestamps are the same as the ones in afs_volume, do nothing. - If the timestamps regress, increment cb_scrub if not already done so. - If the creation timestamp on a RW volume changes, increment cb_scrub if not already done so. - If the creation timestamp on a RO volume advances, update the server list and see if the current server has been excluded, if so reissue the op. Once over half of the replication sites have been updated, increment cb_ro_snapshot to indicate updates may be required and switch over to excluding unupdated replication sites. - If the creation timestamp on a Backup volume advances, just increment cb_ro_snapshot to trigger updates.
