In the afs dynamic root directory, the -&gt;lookup() function does a DNS check
on the cell being asked for and if the DNS upcall reports an error it will
report an error back to userspace (typically ENOENT).

However, if a failed DNS upcall returns a new-style result, it will return
a valid result, with the status field set appropriately to indicate the
type of failure - and in that case, dns_query() doesn't return an error and
we let stat() complete with no error - which can cause confusion in
userspace as subsequent calls that trigger d_automount then fail with
ENOENT.

Fix this by checking the status result from a valid dns_query() and
returning an error if it indicates a failure.

Fix the afs dynamic root's d_delete function to always delete unused
dentries rather than only deleting them if they're positive.  With things
as they stand upstream, negative dentries stemming from failed DNS lookups
stick around preventing retries.

<title>afs: Make error on cell lookup failure consistent with OpenAFS</title>

<content type='text'>
When kafs tries to look up a cell in the DNS or the local config, it will
translate a lookup failure into EDESTADDRREQ whereas OpenAFS translates it
into ENOENT.  Applications such as West expect the latter behaviour and
fail if they see the former.

This can be seen by trying to mount an unknown cell:

   # mount -t afs %example.com:cell.root /mnt
   mount: /mnt: mount(2) system call failed: Destination address required.

<title>netfs: Further cleanups after struct netfs_inode wrapper introduced</title>

<id>e81fb4198e27925b151aad1450e0fd607d6733f8</id>
<content type='text'>
Change the signature of netfs helper functions to take a struct netfs_inode
pointer rather than a struct inode pointer where appropriate, thereby
relieving the need for the network filesystem to convert its internal inode
format down to the VFS inode only for netfslib to bounce it back up.  For
type safety, it's better not to do that (and it's less typing too).

Give netfs_write_begin() an extra argument to pass in a pointer to the
netfs_inode struct rather than deriving it internally from the file
pointer.  Note that the -&gt;write_begin() and -&gt;write_end() ops are intended
to be replaced in the future by netfslib code that manages this without the
need to call in twice for each page.

netfs_readpage() and similar are intended to be pointed at directly by the
address_space_operations table, so must stick to the signature dictated by
the function pointers there.

Changes
=======
- Updated the kerneldoc comments and documentation [DH].

<title>netfs: Fix gcc-12 warning by embedding vfs inode in netfs_i_context</title>

<id>874c8ca1e60b2c564a48f7e7acc40d328d5c8733</id>
<content type='text'>
While randstruct was satisfied with using an open-coded "void *" offset
cast for the netfs_i_context &lt;-&gt; inode casting, __builtin_object_size() as
used by FORTIFY_SOURCE was not as easily fooled.  This was causing the
following complaint[1] from gcc v12:

  In file included from include/linux/string.h:253,
                   from include/linux/ceph/ceph_debug.h:7,
                   from fs/ceph/inode.c:2:
  In function 'fortify_memset_chk',
      inlined from 'netfs_i_context_init' at include/linux/netfs.h:326:2,
      inlined from 'ceph_alloc_inode' at fs/ceph/inode.c:463:2:
  include/linux/fortify-string.h:242:25: warning: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning]
    242 |                         __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
        |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fix this by embedding a struct inode into struct netfs_i_context (which
should perhaps be renamed to struct netfs_inode).  The struct inode
vfs_inode fields are then removed from the 9p, afs, ceph and cifs inode
structs and vfs_inode is then simply changed to "netfs.inode" in those
filesystems.

Further, rename netfs_i_context to netfs_inode, get rid of the
netfs_inode() function that converted a netfs_i_context pointer to an
inode pointer (that can now be done with &amp;ctx-&gt;inode) and rename the
netfs_i_context() function to netfs_inode() (which is now a wrapper
around container_of()).

Most of the changes were done with:

  perl -p -i -e 's/vfs_inode/netfs.inode/'g \
        `git grep -l 'vfs_inode' -- fs/{9p,afs,ceph,cifs}/*.[ch]`

Kees suggested doing it with a pair structure[2] and a special
declarator to insert that into the network filesystem's inode
wrapper[3], but I think it's cleaner to embed it - and then it doesn't
matter if struct randomisation reorders things.

Dave Chinner suggested using a filesystem-specific VFS_I() function in
each filesystem to convert that filesystem's own inode wrapper struct
into the VFS inode struct[4].

Version #2:
 - Fix a couple of missed name changes due to a disabled cifs option.
 - Rename nfs_i_context to nfs_inode
 - Use "netfs" instead of "nic" as the member name in per-fs inode wrapper
   structs.

[ This also undoes commit 507160f46c55 ("netfs: gcc-12: temporarily
  disable '-Wattribute-warning' for now") that is no longer needed ]

<id>bc899ee1c898e520574ff4d99356eb2e724a9265</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a netfs_i_context struct that should be included in the network
filesystem's own inode struct wrapper, directly after the VFS's inode
struct, e.g.:

	struct my_inode {
		struct {
			/* These must be contiguous */
			struct inode		vfs_inode;
			struct netfs_i_context	netfs_ctx;
		};
	};

The netfs_i_context struct so far contains a single field for the network
filesystem to use - the cache cookie:

	struct netfs_i_context {
		...
		struct fscache_cookie	*cache;
	};

Three functions are provided to help with this:

 (1) void netfs_i_context_init(struct inode *inode,
			       const struct netfs_request_ops *ops);

     Initialise the netfs context and set the operations.

 (2) struct netfs_i_context *netfs_i_context(struct inode *inode);

     Find the netfs context from the VFS inode.

 (3) struct inode *netfs_inode(struct netfs_i_context *ctx);

     Find the VFS inode from the netfs context.

Changes
=======
ver #4)
 - Fix netfs_is_cache_enabled() to check cookie-&gt;cache_priv to see if a
   cache is present[3].
 - Fix netfs_skip_folio_read() to zero out all of the page, not just some
   of it[3].

ver #3)
 - Split out the bit to move ceph cap-getting on readahead into
   ceph_init_request()[1].
 - Stick in a comment to the netfs inode structs indicating the contiguity
   requirements[2].

ver #2)
 - Adjust documentation to match.
 - Use "#if IS_ENABLED()" in netfs_i_cookie(), not "#ifdef".
 - Move the cap check from ceph_readahead() to ceph_init_request() to be
   called from netfslib.
 - Remove ceph_readahead() and use  netfs_readahead() directly instead.

Add a tracepoint to log the cell refcount and active user count and pass in
a reason code through various functions that manipulate these counters.

Additionally, a helper function, afs_see_cell(), is provided to log
interesting places that deal with a cell without actually doing any
accounting directly.

<title>afs: Fix cell refcounting by splitting the usage counter</title>

<content type='text'>
Management of the lifetime of afs_cell struct has some problems due to the
usage counter being used to determine whether objects of that type are in
use in addition to whether anyone might be interested in the structure.

This is made trickier by cell objects being cached for a period of time in
case they're quickly reused as they hold the result of a setup process that
may be slow (DNS lookups, AFS RPC ops).

Problems include the cached root volume from alias resolution pinning its
parent cell record, rmmod occasionally hanging and occasionally producing
assertion failures.

Fix this by splitting the count of active users from the struct reference
count.  Things then work as follows:

 (1) The cell cache keeps +1 on the cell's activity count and this has to
     be dropped before the cell can be removed.  afs_manage_cell() tries to
     exchange the 1 to a 0 with the cells_lock write-locked, and if
     successful, the record is removed from the net-&gt;cells.

 (2) One struct ref is 'owned' by the activity count.  That is put when the
     active count is reduced to 0 (final_destruction label).

 (3) A ref can be held on a cell whilst it is queued for management on a
     work queue without confusing the active count.  afs_queue_cell() is
     added to wrap this.

 (4) The queue's ref is dropped at the end of the management.  This is
     split out into a separate function, afs_manage_cell_work().

 (5) The root volume record is put after a cell is removed (at the
     final_destruction label) rather then in the RCU destruction routine.

 (6) Volumes hold struct refs, but aren't active users.

 (7) Both counts are displayed in /proc/net/afs/cells.

There are some management function changes:

 (*) afs_put_cell() now just decrements the refcount and triggers the RCU
     destruction if it becomes 0.  It no longer sets a timer to have the
     manager do this.

 (*) afs_use_cell() and afs_unuse_cell() are added to increase and decrease
     the active count.  afs_unuse_cell() sets the management timer.

 (*) afs_queue_cell() is added to queue a cell with approprate refs.

There are also some other fixes:

 (*) Don't let /proc/net/afs/cells access a cell's vllist if it's NULL.

 (*) Make sure that candidate cells in lookups are properly destroyed
     rather than being simply kfree'd.  This ensures the bits it points to
     are destroyed also.

 (*) afs_dec_cells_outstanding() is now called in cell destruction rather
     than at "final_destruction".  This ensures that cell-&gt;net is still
     valid to the end of the destructor.

 (*) As a consequence of the previous two changes, move the increment of
     net-&gt;cells_outstanding that was at the point of insertion into the
     tree to the allocation routine to correctly balance things.
