afs_listxattr() lists all the available special afs xattrs (i.e. those in
the "afs.*" space), no matter what type of server we're dealing with.  But
OpenAFS servers, for example, cannot deal with some of the extra-capable
attributes that AuriStor (YFS) servers provide.  Unfortunately, the
presence of the afs.yfs.* attributes causes errors[1] for anything that
tries to read them if the server is of the wrong type.

Fix the problem by removing afs_listxattr() so that none of the special
xattrs are listed (AFS doesn't support xattrs).  It does mean, however,
that getfattr won't list them, though they can still be accessed with
getxattr() and setxattr().

This can be tested with something like:

	getfattr -d -m ".*" /afs/example.com/path/to/file

With this change, none of the afs.* attributes should be visible.

Changes:
ver #2:
 - Hide all of the afs.* xattrs, not just the ACL ones.

<title>afs: Fix accessing YFS xattrs on a non-YFS server</title>

<content type='text'>
If someone attempts to access YFS-related xattrs (e.g. afs.yfs.acl) on a
file on a non-YFS AFS server (such as OpenAFS), then the kernel will jump
to a NULL function pointer because the afs_fetch_acl_operation descriptor
doesn't point to a function for issuing an operation on a non-YFS
server[1].

Fix this by making afs_wait_for_operation() check that the issue_afs_rpc
method is set before jumping to it and setting -ENOTSUPP if not.  This fix
also covers other potential operations that also only exist on YFS servers.

afs_xattr_get/set_yfs() then need to translate -ENOTSUPP to -ENODATA as the
former error is internal to the kernel.

The bug shows up as an oops like the following:

	BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
	[...]
	Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at RIP 0xffffffffffffffd6.
	[...]
	Call Trace:

	RIP: 0033:0x7fb120a9defe

This was triggered with "cp -a" which attempts to copy xattrs, including
afs ones, but is easier to reproduce with getfattr, e.g.:

	getfattr -d -m ".*" /afs/openafs.org/

<title>acl: handle idmapped mounts</title>

<content type='text'>
The posix acl permission checking helpers determine whether a caller is
privileged over an inode according to the acls associated with the
inode. Add helpers that make it possible to handle acls on idmapped
mounts.

The vfs and the filesystems targeted by this first iteration make use of
posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user() and posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user() to
translate basic posix access and default permissions such as the
ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP type according to the initial user namespace (or
the superblock's user namespace) to and from the caller's current user
namespace. Adapt these two helpers to handle idmapped mounts whereby we
either map from or into the mount's user namespace depending on in which
direction we're translating.
Similarly, cap_convert_nscap() is used by the vfs to translate user
namespace and non-user namespace aware filesystem capabilities from the
superblock's user namespace to the caller's user namespace. Enable it to
handle idmapped mounts by accounting for the mount's user namespace.

In addition the fileystems targeted in the first iteration of this patch
series make use of the posix_acl_chmod() and, posix_acl_update_mode()
helpers. Both helpers perform permission checks on the target inode. Let
them handle idmapped mounts. These two helpers are called when posix
acls are set by the respective filesystems to handle this case we extend
the -&gt;set() method to take an additional user namespace argument to pass
the mount's user namespace down.

<title>afs: Fix incorrect freeing of the ACL passed to the YFS ACL store op</title>

The cleanup for the yfs_store_opaque_acl2_operation calls the wrong
function to destroy the ACL content buffer.  It's an afs_acl struct, not
a yfs_acl struct - and the free function for latter may pass invalid
pointers to kfree().

Fix this by using the afs_acl_put() function.  The yfs_acl_put()
function is then no longer used and can be removed.

Turn the afs_operation struct into the main way that most fileserver
operations are managed.  Various things are added to the struct, including
the following:

 (1) All the parameters and results of the relevant operations are moved
     into it, removing corresponding fields from the afs_call struct.
     afs_call gets a pointer to the op.

 (2) The target volume is made the main focus of the operation, rather than
     the target vnode(s), and a bunch of op-&gt;vnode-&gt;volume are made
     op-&gt;volume instead.

 (3) Two vnode records are defined (op-&gt;file[]) for the vnode(s) involved
     in most operations.  The vnode record (struct afs_vnode_param)
     contains:

	- The vnode pointer.

	- The fid of the vnode to be included in the parameters or that was
          returned in the reply (eg. FS.MakeDir).

	- The status and callback information that may be returned in the
     	  reply about the vnode.

	- Callback break and data version tracking for detecting
          simultaneous third-parth changes.

 (4) Pointers to dentries to be updated with new inodes.

 (5) An operations table pointer.  The table includes pointers to functions
     for issuing AFS and YFS-variant RPCs, handling the success and abort
     of an operation and handling post-I/O-lock local editing of a
     directory.

To make this work, the following function restructuring is made:

 (A) The rotation loop that issues calls to fileservers that can be found
     in each function that wants to issue an RPC (such as afs_mkdir()) is
     extracted out into common code, in a new file called fs_operation.c.

 (B) The rotation loops, such as the one in afs_mkdir(), are replaced with
     a much smaller piece of code that allocates an operation, sets the
     parameters and then calls out to the common code to do the actual
     work.

 (C) The code for handling the success and failure of an operation are
     moved into operation functions (as (5) above) and these are called
     from the core code at appropriate times.

 (D) The pseudo inode getting stuff used by the dynamic root code is moved
     over into dynroot.c.

 (E) struct afs_iget_data is absorbed into the operation struct and
     afs_iget() expects to be given an op pointer and a vnode record.

 (F) Point (E) doesn't work for the root dir of a volume, but we know the
     FID in advance (it's always vnode 1, unique 1), so a separate inode
     getter, afs_root_iget(), is provided to special-case that.

 (G) The inode status init/update functions now also take an op and a vnode
     record.

 (H) The RPC marshalling functions now, for the most part, just take an
     afs_operation struct as their only argument.  All the data they need
     is held there.  The result delivery functions write their answers
     there as well.

 (I) The call is attached to the operation and then the operation core does
     the waiting.

And then the new operation code is, for the moment, made to just initialise
the operation, get the appropriate vnode I/O locks and do the same rotation
loop as before.

This lays the foundation for the following changes in the future:

 (*) Overhauling the rotation (again).

 (*) Support for asynchronous I/O, where the fileserver rotation must be
     done asynchronously also.

     op-&gt;volume instead.

 (3) Two vnode records are defined (op-&gt;file[]) for the vnode(s) involved
     in most operations.  The vnode record (struct afs_vnode_param)
     contains:

	- The vnode pointer.

	- The fid of the vnode to be included in the parameters or that was
          returned in the reply (eg. FS.MakeDir).

	- The status and callback information that may be returned in the
     	  reply about the vnode.

	- Callback break and data version tracking for detecting
          simultaneous third-parth changes.

 (4) Pointers to dentries to be updated with new inodes.

 (5) An operations table pointer.  The table includes pointers to functions
     for issuing AFS and YFS-variant RPCs, handling the success and abort
     of an operation and handling post-I/O-lock local editing of a
     directory.

To make this work, the following function restructuring is made:

 (A) The rotation loop that issues calls to fileservers that can be found
     in each function that wants to issue an RPC (such as afs_mkdir()) is
     extracted out into common code, in a new file called fs_operation.c.

 (B) The rotation loops, such as the one in afs_mkdir(), are replaced with
     a much smaller piece of code that allocates an operation, sets the
     parameters and then calls out to the common code to do the actual
     work.

 (C) The code for handling the success and failure of an operation are
     moved into operation functions (as (5) above) and these are called
     from the core code at appropriate times.

 (D) The pseudo inode getting stuff used by the dynamic root code is moved
     over into dynroot.c.

 (E) struct afs_iget_data is absorbed into the operation struct and
     afs_iget() expects to be given an op pointer and a vnode record.

 (F) Point (E) doesn't work for the root dir of a volume, but we know the
     FID in advance (it's always vnode 1, unique 1), so a separate inode
     getter, afs_root_iget(), is provided to special-case that.

 (G) The inode status init/update functions now also take an op and a vnode
     record.

 (H) The RPC marshalling functions now, for the most part, just take an
     afs_operation struct as their only argument.  All the data they need
     is held there.  The result delivery functions write their answers
     there as well.

 (I) The call is attached to the operation and then the operation core does
     the waiting.

And then the new operation code is, for the moment, made to just initialise
the operation, get the appropriate vnode I/O locks and do the same rotation
loop as before.

This lays the foundation for the following changes in the future:

 (*) Overhauling the rotation (again).

 (*) Support for asynchronous I/O, where the fileserver rotation must be
     done asynchronously also.

As a prelude to implementing asynchronous fileserver operations in the afs
filesystem, rename struct afs_fs_cursor to afs_operation.

This struct is going to form the core of the operation management and is
going to acquire more members in later.

<title>afs: Fix application of status and callback to be under same lock</title>

<id>a58823ac458968f9fb3dbf97ee2749a62be12807</id>
<content type='text'>
When applying the status and callback in the response of an operation,
apply them in the same critical section so that there's no race between
checking the callback state and checking status-dependent state (such as
the data version).

Fix this by:

 (1) Allocating a joint {status,callback} record (afs_status_cb) before
     calling the RPC function for each vnode for which the RPC reply
     contains a status or a status plus a callback.  A flag is set in the
     record to indicate if a callback was actually received.

 (2) These records are passed into the RPC functions to be filled in.  The
     afs_decode_status() and yfs_decode_status() functions are removed and
     the cb_lock is no longer taken.

 (3) xdr_decode_AFSFetchStatus() and xdr_decode_YFSFetchStatus() no longer
     update the vnode.

 (4) xdr_decode_AFSCallBack() and xdr_decode_YFSCallBack() no longer update
     the vnode.

 (5) vnodes, expected data-version numbers and callback break counters
     (cb_break) no longer need to be passed to the reply delivery
     functions.

     Note that, for the moment, the file locking functions still need
     access to both the call and the vnode at the same time.

 (6) afs_vnode_commit_status() is now given the cb_break value and the
     expected data_version and the task of applying the status and the
     callback to the vnode are now done here.

     This is done under a single taking of vnode-&gt;cb_lock.

 (7) afs_pages_written_back() is now called by afs_store_data() rather than
     by the reply delivery function.

     afs_pages_written_back() has been moved to before the call point and
     is now given the first and last page numbers rather than a pointer to
     the call.

 (8) The indicator from YFS.RemoveFile2 as to whether the target file
     actually got removed (status.abort_code == VNOVNODE) rather than
     merely dropping a link is now checked in afs_unlink rather than in
     xdr_decode_YFSFetchStatus().

Supplementary fixes:

 (*) afs_cache_permit() now gets the caller_access mask from the
     afs_status_cb object rather than picking it out of the vnode's status
     record.  afs_fetch_status() returns caller_access through its argument
     list for this purpose also.

 (*) afs_inode_init_from_status() now uses a write lock on cb_lock rather
     than a read lock and now sets the callback inside the same critical
     section.
