[GIT PULL] afs: Improve probe handling, server rotation and RO volume callback handling

From: David Howells
Date: Fri Jan 05 2024 - 11:23:56 EST


Hi Linus,

Could you pull this in the upcoming merge window please? The majority of
the patches are aimed at fixing and improving the AFS filesystem's rotation
over server IP addresses, but there are also some fixes from Oleg Nesterov
for the use of read_seqbegin_or_lock().

(1) Fix fileserver probe handling so that the next round of probes doesn't
break ongoing server/address rotation by clearing all the probe result
tracking. This could occasionally cause the rotation algorithm to
drop straight through, give a 'successful' result without actually
emitting any RPC calls, leaving the reply buffer in an undefined
state.

Instead, detach the probe results into a separate struct
and allocate a new one each time we start probing and update the
pointer to it. Probes are also sent in order of address preference to
try and improve the chance that the preferred one will complete first.

(2) Fix server rotation so that it uses configurable address preferences
across on the probes that have completed so far than ranking them by
RTT as the latter doesn't necessarily give the best route. The
preference list can be altered by writing into
/proc/net/afs/addr_prefs.

(3) Fix the handling of Read-Only (and Backup) volume callbacks as there
is one per volume, not one per file, so if someone performs a command
that, say, offlines the volume but doesn't change it, when it comes
back online we don't spam the server with a status fetch for every
vnode we're using. Instead, check the Creation timestamp in the
VolSync record when prompted by a callback break.

(4) Handle volume regression (ie. a RW volume being restored from a
backup) by scrubbing all cache data for that volume. This is detected
from the VolSync creation timestamp.

(5) Adjust abort handling and abort -> error mapping to match better with
what other AFS clients do.

(6) Fix offline and busy volume state handling as they only apply to
individual server instances and not entire volumes and the rotation
algorithm should go and look at other servers if available. Also make
it sleep briefly before each retry if all the volume instances are
unavailable.

Thanks,
David

Changes
=======
ver #3)
- Return an error from afs_d_revalidate() if validation of parent dir
fails with ERESTARTSYS.
- afs_update_volume_state() must only update the recorded volume
expiration time if we obtained a callback record from the server.
- Actually call afs_update_volume_state() (this was being done in a later
patch).
ver #2)
- Drop the first two rxrpc fix patches - one has gone through the net tree
and the other needs a bit more work, but neither is necessary for this
series.
- Add a couple of missing symbol exports.
- Treat UAEIO as VIO too.
- Switch to using atomic64_t for creation & update times because 64-bit
cmpxchg isn't available on some 32-bit arches.
- Some patches went upstream separately as fixes (commit
5b7ad877e4d81f8904ce83982b1ba5c6e83deccb).
- Use atomic64_t for vnode->cb_expires_at() as 64-bit xchg() is not
univerally available.
- Use rcu_access_pointer() rather than passing an __rcu pointer directly to
kfree_rcu().
