afs: Overhaul volume and server record caching and fileserver rotation

2017-11-13T15:38:19Z

The current code assumes that volumes and servers are per-cell and are never shared, but this is not enforced, and, indeed, public cells do exist that are aliases of each other. Further, an organisation can, say, set up a public cell and a private cell with overlapping, but not identical, sets of servers. The difference is purely in the database attached to the VL servers. The current code will malfunction if it sees a server in two cells as it assumes global address -> server record mappings and that each server is in just one cell. Further, each server may have multiple addresses - and may have addresses of different families (IPv4 and IPv6, say). To this end, the following structural changes are made: (1) Server record management is overhauled: (a) Server records are made independent of cell. The namespace keeps track of them, volume records have lists of them and each vnode has a server on which its callback interest currently resides. (b) The cell record no longer keeps a list of servers known to be in that cell. (c) The server records are now kept in a flat list because there's no single address to sort on. (d) Server records are now keyed by their UUID within the namespace. (e) The addresses for a server are obtained with the VL.GetAddrsU rather than with VL.GetEntryByName, using the server's UUID as a parameter. (f) Cached server records are garbage collected after a period of non-use and are counted out of existence before purging is allowed to complete. This protects the work functions against rmmod. (g) The servers list is now in /proc/fs/afs/servers. (2) Volume record management is overhauled: (a) An RCU-replaceable server list is introduced. This tracks both servers and their coresponding callback interests. (b) The superblock is now keyed on cell record and numeric volume ID. (c) The volume record is now tied to the superblock which mounts it, and is activated when mounted and deactivated when unmounted. This makes it easier to handle the cache cookie without causing a double-use in fscache. (d) The volume record is loaded from the VLDB using VL.GetEntryByNameU to get the server UUID list. (e) The volume name is updated if it is seen to have changed when the volume is updated (the update is keyed on the volume ID). (3) The vlocation record is got rid of and VLDB records are no longer cached. Sufficient information is stored in the volume record, though an update to a volume record is now no longer shared between related volumes (volumes come in bundles of three: R/W, R/O and backup). and the following procedural changes are made: (1) The fileserver cursor introduced previously is now fleshed out and used to iterate over fileservers and their addresses. (2) Volume status is checked during iteration, and the server list is replaced if a change is detected. (3) Server status is checked during iteration, and the address list is replaced if a change is detected. (4) The abort code is saved into the address list cursor and -ECONNABORTED returned in afs_make_call() if a remote abort happened rather than translating the abort into an error message. This allows actions to be taken depending on the abort code more easily. (a) If a VMOVED abort is seen then this is handled by rechecking the volume and restarting the iteration. (b) If a VBUSY, VRESTARTING or VSALVAGING abort is seen then this is handled by sleeping for a short period and retrying and/or trying other servers that might serve that volume. A message is also displayed once until the condition has cleared. (c) If a VOFFLINE abort is seen, then this is handled as VBUSY for the moment. (d) If a VNOVOL abort is seen, the volume is rechecked in the VLDB to see if it has been deleted; if not, the fileserver is probably indicating that the volume couldn't be attached and needs salvaging. (e) If statfs() sees one of these aborts, it does not sleep, but rather returns an error, so as not to block the umount program. (5) The fileserver iteration functions in vnode.c are now merged into their callers and more heavily macroised around the cursor. vnode.c is removed. (6) Operations on a particular vnode are serialised on that vnode because the server will lock that vnode whilst it operates on it, so a second op sent will just have to wait. (7) Fileservers are probed with FS.GetCapabilities before being used. This is where service upgrade will be done. (8) A callback interest on a fileserver is set up before an FS operation is performed and passed through to afs_make_call() so that it can be set on the vnode if the operation returns a callback. The callback interest is passed through to afs_iget() also so that it can be set there too. In general, record updating is done on an as-needed basis when we try to access servers, volumes or vnodes rather than offloading it to work items and special threads. Notes: (1) Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can be added back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998). (2) VBUSY is retried forever for the moment at intervals of 1s. (3) /proc/fs/afs//servers no longer exists. Signed-off-by: David Howells

afs: Add an address list concept

2017-11-13T15:38:18Z

Add an RCU replaceable address list structure to hold a list of server addresses. The list also holds the To this end: (1) A cell's VL server address list can be loaded directly via insmod or echo to /proc/fs/afs/cells or dynamically from a DNS query for AFSDB or SRV records. (2) Anyone wanting to use a cell's VL server address must wait until the cell record comes online and has tried to obtain some addresses. (3) An FS server's address list, for the moment, has a single entry that is the key to the server list. This will change in the future when a server is instead keyed on its UUID and the VL.GetAddrsU operation is used. (4) An 'address cursor' concept is introduced to handle iteration through the address list. This is passed to the afs_make_call() as, in the future, stuff (such as abort code) that doesn't outlast the call will be returned in it. In the future, we might want to annotate the list with information about how each address fares. We might then want to propagate such annotations over address list replacement. Whilst we're at it, we allow IPv6 addresses to be specified in colon-delimited lists by enclosing them in square brackets. Signed-off-by: David Howells

afs: Keep and pass sockaddr_rxrpc addresses rather than in_addr

2017-11-13T15:38:17Z

Keep and pass sockaddr_rxrpc addresses around rather than keeping and passing in_addr addresses to allow for the use of IPv6 and non-standard port numbers in future. This also allows the port and service_id fields to be removed from the afs_call struct. Signed-off-by: David Howells

afs: Update the cache index structure

2017-11-13T15:38:17Z

Update the cache index structure in the following ways: (1) Don't use the volume name followed by the volume type as levels in the cache index. Volumes can be renamed. Use the volume ID instead. (2) Don't store the VLDB data for a volume in the tree. If the volume database should be cached locally, then it should be done in a separate tree. (3) Expand the volume ID stored in the cache to 64 bits. (4) Expand the file/vnode ID stored in the cache to 96 bits. (5) Increment the cache structure version number to 1.

afs: Push the net ns pointer to more places

2017-11-13T15:38:17Z

Push the network namespace pointer to more places in AFS, including the afs_server structure (which doesn't hold a ref on the netns). In particular, afs_put_cell() now takes requires a net ns parameter so that it can safely alter the netns after decrementing the cell usage count - the cell will be deallocated by a background thread after being cached for a period, which means that it's not safe to access it after reducing its usage count.

afs: Lay the groundwork for supporting network namespaces

2017-11-13T15:38:16Z

Lay the groundwork for supporting network namespaces (netns) to the AFS filesystem by moving various global features to a network-namespace struct (afs_net) and providing an instance of this as a temporary global variable that everything uses via accessor functions for the moment. The following changes have been made: (1) Store the netns in the superblock info. This will be obtained from the mounter's nsproxy on a manual mount and inherited from the parent superblock on an automount. (2) The cell list is made per-netns. It can be viewed through /proc/net/afs/cells and also be modified by writing commands to that file. (3) The local workstation cell is set per-ns in /proc/net/afs/rootcell. This is unset by default. (4) The 'rootcell' module parameter, which sets a cell and VL server list modifies the init net namespace, thereby allowing an AFS root fs to be theoretically used. (5) The volume location lists and the file lock manager are made per-netns. (6) The AF_RXRPC socket and associated I/O bits are made per-ns. The various workqueues remain global for the moment. Changes still to be made: (1) /proc/fs/afs/ should be moved to /proc/net/afs/ and a symlink emplaced from the old name. (2) A per-netns subsys needs to be registered for AFS into which it can store its per-netns data. (3) Rather than the AF_RXRPC socket being opened on module init, it needs to be opened on the creation of a superblock in that netns. (4) The socket needs to be closed when the last superblock using it is destroyed and all outstanding client calls on it have been completed. This prevents a reference loop on the namespace. (5) It is possible that several namespaces will want to use AFS, in which case each one will need its own UDP port. These can either be set through /proc/net/afs/cm_port or the kernel can pick one at random. The init_ns gets 7001 by default. Other issues that need resolving: (1) The DNS keyring needs net-namespacing. (2) Where do upcalls go (eg. DNS request-key upcall)? (3) Need something like open_socket_in_file_ns() syscall so that AFS command line tools attempting to operate on an AFS file/volume have their RPC calls go to the right place.

afs: Migrate vlocation fields to 64-bit

2017-03-16T16:27:46Z

get_seconds() returns real wall-clock seconds. On 32-bit systems this value will overflow in year 2038 and beyond. This patch changes afs's vlocation record to use ktime_get_real_seconds() instead, for the fields time_of_death and update_at. Signed-off-by: Tina Ruchandani Signed-off-by: David Howells

afs: Kill afs_wait_mode

2017-01-09T11:10:02Z

The afs_wait_mode struct isn't really necessary. Client calls only use one of a choice of two (synchronous or the asynchronous) and incoming calls don't use the wait at all. Replace with a boolean parameter. Signed-off-by: David Howells

fs/afs/vlocation: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue

2016-09-04T20:41:39Z

The workqueue "afs_vlocation_update_worker" queues a single work item &afs_vlocation_update and hence it doesn't require execution ordering. Hence, alloc_workqueue has been used to replace the deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue instance. Since the workqueue is being used on a memory reclaim path, WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag has been set to ensure forward progress under memory pressure. Since there are fixed number of work items, explicit concurrency limit is unnecessary here. Signed-off-by: Bhaktipriya Shridhar Signed-off-by: David Howells

sched, cleanup, treewide: Remove set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING) after schedule()

2014-09-19T10:35:17Z

schedule(), io_schedule() and schedule_timeout() always return with TASK_RUNNING state set, so one more setting is unnecessary. (All places in patch are visible good, only exception is kiblnd_scheduler() from: drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/klnds/o2iblnd/o2iblnd_cb.c Its schedule() is one line above standard 3 lines of unified diff) No places where set_current_state() is used for mb().
