[ Upstream commit 34fa47612bfe5d7de7fcaf658a6952b6aeec3b13 ]

There's a race between afs_make_call() and afs_wake_up_async_call() in the
case that an error is returned from rxrpc_kernel_send_data() after it has
queued the final packet.

afs_make_call() will try and clean up the mess, but the call state may have
been moved on thereby causing afs_process_async_call() to also try and to
delete the call.

Fix this by:

 (1) Getting an extra ref for an asynchronous call for the call itself to
     hold.  This makes sure the call doesn't evaporate on us accidentally
     and will allow the call to be retained by the caller in a future
     patch.  The ref is released on leaving afs_make_call() or
     afs_wait_for_call_to_complete().

 (2) In the event of an error from rxrpc_kernel_send_data():

     (a) Don't set the call state to AFS_CALL_COMPLETE until *after* the
     	 call has been aborted and ended.  This prevents
     	 afs_deliver_to_call() from doing anything with any notifications
     	 it gets.

     (b) Explicitly end the call immediately to prevent further callbacks.

     (c) Cancel any queued async_work and wait for the work if it's
     	 executing.  This allows us to be sure the race won't recur when we
     	 change the state.  We put the work queue's ref on the call if we
     	 managed to cancel it.

     (d) Put the call's ref that we got in (1).  This belongs to us as long
     	 as the call is in state AFS_CALL_CL_REQUESTING.

[ Upstream commit 4882a27cec24319d10f95e978ecc80050e3e3e15 ]

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-&gt;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]

[ Upstream commit 5edc22cc1d33d6a88d175d25adc38d2a5cee134d ]

A lock type of 0 is "LockRead", which makes the fileserver record an
unintentional read lock on the new file.  This will cause problems
later on if the file is the subject of locking operations.

The correct default value should be -1 ("LockNone").

Fix the operation marshalling code to set the value and provide an enum to
symbolise the values whilst we're at it.

kAFS can be given certain network errors (EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and
ERFKILL) that it doesn't handle in its server/address rotation algorithms.
They cause the probing and rotation to abort immediately rather than
rotating.

Fix this by:

 (1) Abstracting out the error prioritisation from the VL and FS rotation
     algorithms into a common function and expand usage into the server
     probing code.

     When multiple errors are available, this code selects the one we'd
     prefer to return.

 (2) Add handling for EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and ERFKILL.

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.

     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.

The life-checking function, which is used by kAFS to make sure that a call
is still live in the event of a pending signal, only samples the received
packet serial number counter; it doesn't actually provoke a change in the
counter, rather relying on the server to happen to give us a packet in the
time window.

Fix this by adding a function to force a ping to be transmitted.

kAFS then keeps track of whether there's been a stall, and if so, uses the
new function to ping the server, resetting the timeout to allow the reply
to come back.

If there's a stall, a ping and the call is *still* stalled in the same
place after another period, then the call will be aborted.

Fixes: f4d15fb6f99a ("rxrpc: Provide functions for allowing cleaner handling of signals")
