2019-01-17afs: Fix key refcounting in file locking codeDavid Howells
Fix the refcounting of the authentication keys in the file locking code. The vnode->lock_key member points to a key on which it expects to be holding a ref, but it isn't always given an extra ref, however.

2019-01-17afs: Don't set vnode->cb_s_break in afs_validate()Marc Dionne
A cb_interest record is not necessarily attached to the vnode on entry to afs_validate(), which can cause an oops when we try to bring the vnode's cb_s_break up to date in the default case (ie. no current callback promise and the vnode has not been deleted). Fix this by simply removing the line, as vnode->cb_s_break will be set when needed by afs_register_server_cb_interest() when we next get a callback promise from RPC call. The oops looks something like: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018 ... RIP: 0010:afs_validate+0x66/0x250 [kafs] ...

2018-11-29afs: Fix validation/callback interactionDavid Howells
When afs_validate() is called to validate a vnode (inode), there are two unhandled cases in the fastpath at the top of the function: (1) If the vnode is promised (AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED is set), the break counters match and the data has expired, then there's an implicit case in which the vnode needs revalidating. This has no consequences since the default "valid = false" set at the top of the function happens to do the right thing. (2) If the vnode is not promised and it hasn't been deleted (AFS_VNODE_DELETED is not set) then there's a default case we're not handling in which the vnode is invalid. If the vnode is invalid, we need to bring cb_s_break and cb_v_break up to date before we refetch the status. As a consequence, once the server loses track of the client (ie. sufficient time has passed since we last sent it an operation), it will send us a CB.InitCallBackState* operation when we next try to talk to it. This calls afs_init_callback_state() which increments afs_server::cb_s_break, but this then doesn't propagate to the afs_vnode record. The result being that every afs_validate() call thereafter sends a status fetch operation to the server. Clarify and fix this by: (A) Setting valid in all the branches rather than initialising it at the top so that the compiler catches where we've missed. (B) Restructuring the logic in the 'promised' branch so that we set valid to false if the callback is due to expire (or has expired) and so that the final case is that the vnode is still valid. (C) Adding an else-statement that ups cb_s_break and cb_v_break if the promised and deleted cases don't match.

2018-10-24afs: Increase to 64-bit volume ID and 96-bit vnode ID for YFSDavid Howells
Increase the sizes of the volume ID to 64 bits and the vnode ID (inode number equivalent) to 96 bits to allow the support of YFS. This requires the iget comparator to check the vnode->fid rather than i_ino and i_generation as i_ino is not sufficiently capacious. It also requires this data to be placed into the vnode cache key for fscache. For the moment, just discard the top 32 bits of the vnode ID when returning it though stat.

2018-05-14afs: Fix whole-volume callback handlingDavid Howells
It's possible for an AFS file server to issue a whole-volume notification that callbacks on all the vnodes in the file have been broken. This is done for R/O and backup volumes (which don't have per-file callbacks) and for things like a volume being taken offline. Fix callback handling to detect whole-volume notifications, to track it across operations and to check it during inode validation.

2018-05-14afs: Fix directory page lockingDavid Howells
The afs directory loading code (primarily afs_read_dir()) locks all the pages that hold a directory's content blob to defend against getdents/getdents races and getdents/lookup races where the competitors issue conflicting reads on the same data. As the reads will complete consecutively, they may retrieve different versions of the data and one may overwrite the data that the other is busy parsing. Fix this by not locking the pages at all, but rather by turning the validation lock into an rwsem and getting an exclusive lock on it whilst reading the data or validating the attributes and a shared lock whilst parsing the data. Sharing the attribute validation lock should be fine as the data fetch will retrieve the attributes also. The individual page locks aren't needed at all as the only place they're being used is to serialise data loading. Without this patch, the: if (!test_bit(AFS_VNODE_DIR_VALID, &dvnode->flags)) { ... } part of afs_read_dir() may be skipped, leaving the pages unlocked when we hit the success: clause - in which case we try to unlock the not-locked pages, leading to the following oops: page:ffffe38b405b4300 count:3 mapcount:0 mapping:ffff98156c83a978 index:0x0 flags: 0xfffe000001004(referenced|private) raw: 000fffe000001004 ffff98156c83a978 0000000000000000 00000003ffffffff raw: dead000000000100 dead000000000200 0000000000000001 ffff98156b27c000 page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLocked(page)) page->mem_cgroup:ffff98156b27c000 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:1205! ...

2018-04-09afs: Locally edit directory data for mkdir/create/unlink/...David Howells
Locally edit the contents of an AFS directory upon a successful inode operation that modifies that directory (such as mkdir, create and unlink) so that we can avoid the current practice of re-downloading the directory after each change. This is viable provided that the directory version number we get back from the modifying RPC op is exactly incremented by 1 from what we had previously. The data in the directory contents is in a defined format that we have to parse locally to perform lookups and readdir, so modifying isn't a problem. If the edit fails, we just clear the VALID flag on the directory and it will be reloaded next time it is needed. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2018-04-09afs: Fix directory handlingDavid Howells
AFS directories are structured blobs that are downloaded just like files and then parsed by the lookup and readdir code and, as such, are currently handled in the pagecache like any other file, with the entire directory content being thrown away each time the directory changes. However, since the blob is a known structure and since the data version counter on a directory increases by exactly one for each change committed to that directory, we can actually edit the directory locally rather than fetching it from the server after each locally-induced change. What we can't do, though, is mix data from the server and data from the client since the server is technically at liberty to rearrange or compress a directory if it sees fit, provided it updates the data version number when it does so and breaks the callback (ie. sends a notification). Further, lookup with lookup-ahead, readdir and, when it arrives, local editing are likely want to scan the whole of a directory. So directory handling needs to be improved to maintain the coherency of the directory blob prior to permitting local directory editing. To this end: (1) If any directory page gets discarded, invalidate and reread the entire directory. (2) If readpage notes that if when it fetches a single page that the version number has changed, the entire directory is flagged for invalidation. (3) Read as much of the directory in one go as we can. Note that this removes local caching of directories in fscache for the moment as we can't pass the pages to fscache_read_or_alloc_pages() since page->lru is in use by the LRU.

2018-04-09afs: Keep track of invalid-before version for dentry coherencyDavid Howells
Each afs dentry is tagged with the version that the parent directory was at last time it was validated and, currently, if this differs, the directory is scanned and the dentry is refreshed. However, this leads to an excessive amount of revalidation on directories that get modified on the client without conflict with another client. We know there's no conflict because the parent directory's data version number got incremented by exactly 1 on any create, mkdir, unlink, etc., therefore we can trust the current state of the unaffected dentries when we perform a local directory modification. Optimise by keeping track of the last version of the parent directory that was changed outside of the client in the parent directory's vnode and using that to validate the dentries rather than the current version.

2018-04-09afs: Rearrange status mappingDavid Howells
Rearrange the AFSFetchStatus to inode attribute mapping code in a number of ways: (1) Use an XDR structure rather than a series of incremented pointer accesses when decoding an AFSFetchStatus object. This allows out-of-order decode. (2) Don't store the if_version value but rather just check it and abort if it's not something we can handle. (3) Store the owner and group in the status record as raw values rather than converting them to kuid/kgid. Do that when they're mapped into i_uid/i_gid. (4) Validate the type and abort code up front and abort if they're wrong. (5) Split the inode attribute setting out into its own function from the XDR decode of an AFSFetchStatus object. This allows it to be called from elsewhere too. (6) Differentiate changes to data from changes to metadata. (7) Use the split-out attribute mapping function from afs_iget().

2018-04-04fscache: Attach the index key and aux data to the cookieDavid Howells
Attach copies of the index key and auxiliary data to the fscache cookie so that: (1) The callbacks to the netfs for this stuff can be eliminated. This can simplify things in the cache as the information is still available, even after the cache has relinquished the cookie. (2) Simplifies the locking requirements of accessing the information as we don't have to worry about the netfs object going away on us. (3) The cache can do lazy updating of the coherency information on disk. As long as the cache is flushed before reboot/poweroff, there's no need to update the coherency info on disk every time it changes. (4) Cookies can be hashed or put in a tree as the index key is easily available. This allows: (a) Checks for duplicate cookies can be made at the top fscache layer rather than down in the bowels of the cache backend. (b) Caching can be added to a netfs object that has a cookie if the cache is brought online after the netfs object is allocated. A certain amount of space is made in the cookie for inline copies of the data, but if it won't fit there, extra memory will be allocated for it. The downside of this is that live cache operation requires more memory.

2018-01-29Merge tag 'iversion-v4.16-1' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlayton/linux Pull inode->i_version rework from Jeff Layton: "This pile of patches is a rework of the inode->i_version field. We have traditionally incremented that field on every inode data or metadata change. Typically this increment needs to be logged on disk even when nothing else has changed, which is rather expensive. It turns out though that none of the consumers of that field actually require this behavior. The only real requirement for all of them is that it be different iff the inode has changed since the last time the field was checked. Given that, we can optimize away most of the i_version increments and avoid dirtying inode metadata when the only change is to the i_version and no one is querying it. Queries of the i_version field are rather rare, so we can help write performance under many common workloads. This patch series converts existing accesses of the i_version field to a new API, and then converts all of the in-kernel filesystems to use it. The last patch in the series then converts the backend implementation to a scheme that optimizes away a large portion of the metadata updates when no one is looking at it. In my own testing this series significantly helps performance with small I/O sizes. I also got this email for Christmas this year from the kernel test robot (a 244% r/w bandwidth improvement with XFS over DAX, with 4k writes): https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/25/8 A few of the earlier patches in this pile are also flowing to you via other trees (mm, integrity, and nfsd trees in particular)". * tag 'iversion-v4.16-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlayton/linux: (22 commits) fs: handle inode->i_version more efficiently btrfs: only dirty the inode in btrfs_update_time if something was changed xfs: avoid setting XFS_ILOG_CORE if i_version doesn't need incrementing fs: only set S_VERSION when updating times if necessary IMA: switch IMA over to new i_version API xfs: convert to new i_version API ufs: use new i_version API ocfs2: convert to new i_version API nfsd: convert to new i_version API nfs: convert to new i_version API ext4: convert to new i_version API ext2: convert to new i_version API exofs: switch to new i_version API btrfs: convert to new i_version API afs: convert to new i_version API affs: convert to new i_version API fat: convert to new i_version API fs: don't take the i_lock in inode_inc_iversion fs: new API for handling inode->i_version ntfs: remove i_version handling ...

For AFS, it's generally treated as an opaque value, so we use the *_raw variants of the API here. Note that AFS has quite a different definition for this counter. AFS only increments it on changes to the data to the data in regular files and contents of the directories. Inode metadata changes do not result in a version increment.

Note that this doesn't fix local creation followed by remote deletion. That's harder to handle and will require a separate patch as we're not told that the file has been deleted - only that the directory has changed.

2017-11-13afs: Overhaul volume and server record caching and fileserver rotationDavid Howells
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/<cell>/servers no longer exists. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

When most of the fileserver operations are called, they return a status structure indicating the (revised) details of the vnode or vnodes involved in the operation. This includes the access mark derived from the ACL (named CallerAccess in the protocol definition file). This is cacheable and if the ACL changes, the server will tell us that it is breaking the callback promise, at which point we can discard the currently cached permits. With this patch, the afs_permits structure has, at the end, an array of { key, CallerAccess } elements, sorted by key pointer. This is then cached in a hash table so that it can be shared between vnodes with the same access permits. Permit lists can only be shared if they contain the exact same set of key->CallerAccess mappings. Note that that table is global rather than being per-net_ns. If the keys in a permit list cross net_ns boundaries, there is no problem sharing the cached permits, since the permits are just integer masks. Since permit lists pin keys, the permit cache also makes it easier for a future patch to find all occurrences of a key and remove them by means of setting the afs_permits::invalidated flag and then clearing the appropriate key pointer. In such an event, memory barriers will need adding. Lastly, the permit caching is skipped if the server has sent either a vnode-specific or an entire-server callback since the start of the operation.

2017-11-13afs: Overhaul the callback handlingDavid Howells
Overhaul the AFS callback handling by the following means: (1) Don't give up callback promises on vnodes that we are no longer using, rather let them just expire on the server or let the server break them. This is actually more efficient for the server as the callback lookup is expensive if there are lots of extant callbacks. (2) Only give up the callback promises we have from a server when the server record is destroyed. Then we can just give up *all* the callback promises on it in one go. (3) Servers can end up being shared between cells if cells are aliased, so don't add all the vnodes being backed by a particular server into a big FID-indexed tree on that server as there may be duplicates. Instead have each volume instance (~= superblock) register an interest in a server as it starts to make use of it and use this to allow the processor for callbacks from the server to find the superblock and thence the inode corresponding to the FID being broken by means of ilookup_nowait(). (4) Rather than iterating over the entire callback list when a mass-break comes in from the server, maintain a counter of mass-breaks in afs_server (cb_seq) and make afs_validate() check it against the copy in afs_vnode. It would be nice not to have to take a read_lock whilst doing this, but that's tricky without using RCU. (5) Save a ref on the fileserver we're using for a call in the afs_call struct so that we can access its cb_s_break during call decoding. (6) Write-lock around callback and status storage in a vnode and read-lock around getattr so that we don't see the status mid-update. This has the following consequences: (1) Data invalidation isn't seen until someone calls afs_validate() on a vnode. Unfortunately, we need to use a key to query the server, but getting one from a background thread is tricky without caching loads of keys all over the place. (2) Mass invalidation isn't seen until someone calls afs_validate(). (3) Callback breaking is going to hit the inode_hash_lock quite a bit. Could this be replaced with rcu_read_lock() since inodes are destroyed under RCU conditions. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2017-11-13afs: Push the net ns pointer to more placesDavid Howells
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.

2017-07-09afs: Add metadata xattrsDavid Howells
Add xattrs to allow the user to get/set metadata in lieu of having pioctl() available. The following xattrs are now available: - "afs.cell" The name of the cell in which the vnode's volume resides. - "afs.fid" The volume ID, vnode ID and vnode uniquifier of the file as three hex numbers separated by colons. - "afs.volume" The name of the volume in which the vnode resides. For example: # getfattr -d -m ".*" /mnt/scratch getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: mnt/scratch afs.cell="mycell.myorg.org" afs.fid="10000b:1:1" afs.volume="scratch" Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2017-03-16afs: Populate and use client modification timeMarc Dionne
The inode timestamps should be set from the client time in the status received from the server, rather than the server time which is meant for internal server use. Set AFS_SET_MTIME and populate the mtime for operations that take an input status, such as file/dir creation and StoreData. If an input time is not provided the server will set the vnode times based on the current server time. In a situation where the server has some skew with the client, this could lead to the client seeing a timestamp in the future for a file that it just created or wrote.

2017-03-16afs: Distinguish mountpoints from symlinks by file mode aloneDavid Howells
In AFS, mountpoints appear as symlinks with mode 0644 and normal symlinks have mode 0777, so use this to distinguish them rather than reading the content and parsing it. In the case of a mountpoint, the symlink body is a formatted string indicating the location of the target volume. Note that with this, kAFS no longer 'pre-fetches' the contents of symlinks, so afs_readpage() may fail with an access-denial because when the VFS calls d_automount(), it wraps the call in an credentials override that sets the initial creds - thereby preventing access to the caller's keyrings and the authentication keys held therein. To this end, a patch reverting that change to the VFS is required also. Reported-by: Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@auristor.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2017-03-02statx: Add a system call to make enhanced file info availableDavid Howells
Add a system call to make extended file information available, including file creation and some attribute flags where available through the underlying filesystem. The getattr inode operation is altered to take two additional arguments: a u32 request_mask and an unsigned int flags that indicate the synchronisation mode. This change is propagated to the vfs_getattr*() function. Functions like vfs_stat() are now inline wrappers around new functions vfs_statx() and vfs_statx_fd() to reduce stack usage. ======== OVERVIEW ======== The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved with getxattr(), but the general preference proved to be for a new syscall with an extended stat structure. A number of requests were gathered for features to be included. The following have been included: (1) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large. (2) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for future expansion. (3) Better support for the y2038 problem [Arnd Bergmann] (tv_sec is an __s64). (4) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could be exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of FS-Cache as that can be used for coherency data (stx_btime). This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could be exported by NFSD [Steve French]. (5) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas Dilger] (AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC). (6) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks its cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust] (AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC). And the following have been left out for future extension: (7) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh Kumar]. Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr(). It could get it from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead. (There's disagreement on the exact semantics of a single field, since not all filesystems do this the same way). (8) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such as creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen) [Jeremy Allison, Bernd Schubert]. (9) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers [Bernd Schubert]. (This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary with the open-by-handle capability available and caused disagreement as to whether it's a security hole or not). (10) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger]. (No particular data were offered, but things like last backup timestamp, the data version number and the DOS archive bit would come into this category). (11) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A filesystem can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if that isn't available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't exist or are fabricated locally... (This requires a separate system call - I have an fsinfo() call idea for this). (12) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in struct xstat [Steve French]. (Deferred to fsinfo). (13) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the granularity of each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French]. (Deferred to fsinfo). (14) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value. These could be translated to BSD's st_flags. Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4 define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too). (Some attributes are made available in stx_attributes, but the general feeling was that the IOC flags were to ext[234]-specific and shouldn't be exposed through statx this way). (15) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer, Michael Kerrisk]. (Deferred, probably to fsinfo. Finding out if there's an ACL or seclabal might require extra filesystem operations). (16) Femtosecond-resolution timestamps [Dave Chinner]. (A __reserved field has been left in the statx_timestamp struct for this - if there proves to be a need). (17) A set multiple attributes syscall to go with this. =============== NEW SYSTEM CALL =============== The new system call is: int ret = statx(int dfd, const char *filename, unsigned int flags, unsigned int mask, struct statx *buffer); The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query, in a similar way to fstatat(). There is no equivalent of lstat() as that can be emulated with statx() by passing AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags. There is also no equivalent of fstat() as that can be emulated by passing a NULL filename to statx() with the fd of interest in dfd. Whether or not statx() synchronises the attributes with the backing store can be controlled by OR'ing a value into the flags argument (this typically only affects network filesystems): (1) AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT tells statx() to behave as stat() does in this respect. (2) AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC will require a network filesystem to synchronise its attributes with the server - which might require data writeback to occur to get the timestamps correct. (3) AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC will suppress synchronisation with the server in a network filesystem. The resulting values should be considered approximate. mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of interest to the caller. The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to get the basic set returned by stat(). It should be noted that asking for more information may entail extra I/O operations. buffer points to the destination for the data. This must be 256 bytes in size. ====================== MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD ====================== The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute set: struct statx_timestamp { __s64 tv_sec; __s32 tv_nsec; __s32 __reserved; }; struct statx { __u32 stx_mask; __u32 stx_blksize; __u64 stx_attributes; __u32 stx_nlink; __u32 stx_uid; __u32 stx_gid; __u16 stx_mode; __u16 __spare0[1]; __u64 stx_ino; __u64 stx_size; __u64 stx_blocks; __u64 __spare1[1]; struct statx_timestamp stx_atime; struct statx_timestamp stx_btime; struct statx_timestamp stx_ctime; struct statx_timestamp stx_mtime; __u32 stx_rdev_major; __u32 stx_rdev_minor; __u32 stx_dev_major; __u32 stx_dev_minor; __u64 __spare2[14]; }; The defined bits in request_mask and stx_mask are: STATX_TYPE Want/got stx_mode & S_IFMT STATX_MODE Want/got stx_mode & ~S_IFMT STATX_NLINK Want/got stx_nlink STATX_UID Want/got stx_uid STATX_GID Want/got stx_gid STATX_ATIME Want/got stx_atime{,_ns} STATX_MTIME Want/got stx_mtime{,_ns} STATX_CTIME Want/got stx_ctime{,_ns} STATX_INO Want/got stx_ino STATX_SIZE Want/got stx_size STATX_BLOCKS Want/got stx_blocks STATX_BASIC_STATS [The stuff in the normal stat struct] STATX_BTIME Want/got stx_btime{,_ns} STATX_ALL [All currently available stuff] stx_btime is the file creation time, stx_mask is a bitmask indicating the data provided and __spares*[] are where as-yet undefined fields can be placed. Time fields are structures with separate seconds and nanoseconds fields plus a reserved field in case we want to add even finer resolution. Note that times will be negative if before 1970; in such a case, the nanosecond fields will also be negative if not zero. The bits defined in the stx_attributes field convey information about a file, how it is accessed, where it is and what it does. The following attributes map to FS_*_FL flags and are the same numerical value: STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED File is compressed by the fs STATX_ATTR_IMMUTABLE File is marked immutable STATX_ATTR_APPEND File is append-only STATX_ATTR_NODUMP File is not to be dumped STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED File requires key to decrypt in fs Within the kernel, the supported flags are listed by: KSTAT_ATTR_FS_IOC_FLAGS [Are any other IOC flags of sufficient general interest to be exposed through this interface?] New flags include: STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT Object is an automount trigger These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially, depending on what they are. Fields in struct statx come in a number of classes: (0) stx_dev_*, stx_blksize. These are local system information and are always available. (1) stx_mode, stx_nlinks, stx_uid, stx_gid, stx_[amc]time, stx_ino, stx_size, stx_blocks. These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not. The corresponding bits in stx_mask will be set to indicate whether they actually have valid values. If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated. For example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server, unless as a byproduct of updating something requested. If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as UID or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the stx_mask, even if the caller asked for the value. In such a case, the returned value will be a fabrication. Note that there are instances where the type might not be valid, for instance Windows reparse points. (2) stx_rdev_*. This will be set only if stx_mode indicates we're looking at a blockdev or a chardev, otherwise will be 0. (3) stx_btime. Similar to (1), except this will be set to 0 if it doesn't exist. ======= TESTING ======= The following test program can be used to test the statx system call: samples/statx/test-statx.c Just compile and run, passing it paths to the files you want to examine. The file is built automatically if CONFIG_SAMPLES is enabled. Here's some example output. Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to another FSID. Note that the AUTOMOUNT attribute is set because transiting this directory will cause d_automount to be invoked by the VFS.

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point, reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty. Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check for this flag before installing shadow pages.

2013-09-27FS-Cache: Provide the ability to enable/disable cookiesDavid Howells
Provide the ability to enable and disable fscache cookies. A disabled cookie will reject or ignore further requests to: Acquire a child cookie Invalidate and update backing objects Check the consistency of a backing object Allocate storage for backing page Read backing pages Write to backing pages but still allows: Checks/waits on the completion of already in-progress objects Uncaching of pages Relinquishment of cookies Two new operations are provided: (1) Disable a cookie: void fscache_disable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, bool invalidate); If the cookie is not already disabled, this locks the cookie against other dis/enablement ops, marks the cookie as being disabled, discards or invalidates any backing objects and waits for cessation of activity on any associated object. This is a wrapper around a chunk split out of fscache_relinquish_cookie(), but it reinitialises the cookie such that it can be reenabled. All possible failures are handled internally. The caller should consider calling fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages() afterwards to make sure all page markings are cleared up. (2) Enable a cookie: void fscache_enable_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, bool (*can_enable)(void *data), void *data) If the cookie is not already enabled, this locks the cookie against other dis/enablement ops, invokes can_enable() and, if the cookie is not an index cookie, will begin the procedure of acquiring backing objects. The optional can_enable() function is passed the data argument and returns a ruling as to whether or not enablement should actually be permitted to begin. All possible failures are handled internally. The cookie will only be marked as enabled if provisional backing objects are allocated. A later patch will introduce these to NFS. Cookie enablement during nfs_open() is then contingent on i_writecount <= 0. can_enable() checks for a race between open(O_RDONLY) and open(O_WRONLY/O_RDWR). This simplifies NFS's cookie handling and allows us to get rid of open(O_RDONLY) accidentally introducing caching to an inode that's open for writing already. One operation has its API modified: (3) Acquire a cookie. struct fscache_cookie *fscache_acquire_cookie( struct fscache_cookie *parent, const struct fscache_cookie_def *def, void *netfs_data, bool enable); This now has an additional argument that indicates whether the requested cookie should be enabled by default. It doesn't need the can_enable() function because the caller must prevent multiple calls for the same netfs object and it doesn't need to take the enablement lock because no one else can get at the cookie before this returns.

2010-08-11AFS: Implement an autocell mount capability [ver #2]wanglei
Implement the ability for the root directory of a mounted AFS filesystem to accept lookups of arbitrary directory names, to interpet the names as the names of cells, to look the cell names up in the DNS for AFSDB records and to mount the root.cell volume of the nominated cell on the pseudo-directory created by lookup. This facility is requested by passing: -o autocell to the mountpoint for which this is desired, usually the /afs mount. To use this facility, a DNS upcall program is required for AFSDB records. This can be obtained from: http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/afs/dns.afsdb.c It should be compiled with -lresolv and -lkeyutils and installed as, say: /usr/sbin/dns.afsdb Then the following line needs to be added to /sbin/request-key.conf: create dns_resolver afsdb:* * /usr/sbin/dns.afsdb %k This can be tested by mounting AFS, say: insmod dns_resolver.ko insmod af-rxrpc.ko insmod kafs.ko rootcell=grand.central.org mount -t afs "#grand.central.org:root.cell." /afs -o autocell and doing: ls /afs/grand.central.org/ which should show: archive/ cvs/ doc/ local/ project/ service/ software/ user/ www/ if it works.
