Add prepare_ondemand_read() callback dedicated for the on-demand read
scenario, so that callers from this scenario can be decoupled from
netfs_io_subrequest.
The original cachefiles_prepare_read() is now refactored to a generic
routine accepting a parameter list instead of netfs_io_subrequest.
There's no logic change, except that the debug id of subrequest and
request is removed from trace_cachefiles_prep_read().

Use the vfs_tmpfile_open() helper instead of doing tmpfile creation and
opening separately.
The only minor difference is that previously no permission checking was
done, while vfs_tmpfile_open() will call may_open() with zero access mask
(i.e. no access is checked). Even if this would make a difference with
callers caps (don't see how it could, even in the LSM codepaths) cachfiles
raises caps before performing the tmpfile creation, so this extra
permission check will not result in any regression.

For now, enqueuing and dequeuing on-demand requests all start from
idx 0, this makes request distribution unfair. In the weighty
concurrent I/O scenario, the request stored in higher idx will starve.
Searching requests cyclically in cachefiles_ondemand_daemon_read,
makes distribution fairer.

The cache_size field of copen is specified by the user daemon.
If cache_size < 0, then the OPEN request is expected to fail,
while copen itself shall succeed. However, returning 0 is indeed
unexpected when cache_size is an invalid error code.
Fix this by returning error when cache_size is an invalid error code.

Implement the data plane of on-demand read mode.
The early implementation [1] place the entry to
cachefiles_ondemand_read() in fscache_read(). However, fscache_read()
can only detect if the requested file range is fully cache miss, whilst
we need to notify the user daemon as long as there's a hole inside the
requested file range.
Thus the entry is now placed in cachefiles_prepare_read(). When working
in on-demand read mode, once a hole detected, the read routine will send
a READ request to the user daemon. The user daemon needs to fetch the
data and write it to the cache file. After sending the READ request, the
read routine will hang there, until the READ request is handled by the
user daemon. Then it will retry to read from the same file range. If no
progress encountered, the read routine will fail then.
A new NETFS_SREQ_ONDEMAND flag is introduced to indicate that on-demand
read should be done when a cache miss encountered.

Be noted that this is only a hint. The user daemon may close the
associated anonymous fd when receiving the CLOSE request, then it will
receive another anonymous fd when the cookie gets looked up. Or it may
ignore the CLOSE request, and keep writing data through the anonymous
fd. However the next time the cookie gets looked up, the user daemon

Add a refcount to avoid the deadlock in on-demand read mode. The
on-demand read mode will pin the corresponding cachefiles object for
each anonymous fd. The cachefiles object is unpinned when the anonymous
fd gets closed. When the user daemon exits and the fd of
"/dev/cachefiles" device node gets closed, it will wait for all
cahcefiles objects getting withdrawn. Then if there's any anonymous fd
getting closed after the fd of the device node, the user daemon will
hang forever, waiting for all objects getting withdrawn.
To fix this, add a refcount indicating if there's any object pinned by
anonymous fds. The cachefiles cache gets unbound and withdrawn when the
refcount is decreased to 0. It won't change the behaviour of the
original mode, in which case the cachefiles cache gets unbound and
withdrawn as long as the fd of the device node gets closed.

Fscache/CacheFiles used to serve as a local cache for a remote
networking fs. A new on-demand read mode will be introduced for
CacheFiles, which can boost the scenario where on-demand read semantics
are needed, e.g. container image distribution.
The essential difference between these two modes is seen when a cache
miss occurs: In the original mode, the netfs will fetch the data from
the remote server and then write it to the cache file; in on-demand
read mode, fetching the data and writing it into the cache is delegated
to a user daemon.
As the first step, notify the user daemon when looking up cookie. In
this case, an anonymous fd is sent to the user daemon, through which the
user daemon can write the fetched data to the cache file. Since the user
daemon may move the anonymous fd around, e.g. through dup(), an object
ID uniquely identifying the cache file is also attached.
Also add one advisory flag (FSCACHE_ADV_WANT_CACHE_SIZE) suggesting that
the cache file size shall be retrieved at runtime. This helps the
scenario where one cache file contains multiple netfs files, e.g. for
the purpose of deduplication. In this case, netfs itself has no idea the
size of the cache file, whilst the user daemon should give the hint on
it.

Pull netfs updates from David Howells:
"Netfs prep for write helpers.
Having had a go at implementing write helpers and content encryption
support in netfslib, it seems that the netfs_read_{,sub}request
structs and the equivalent write request structs were almost the same
and so should be merged, thereby requiring only one set of
alloc/get/put functions and a common set of tracepoints.
Merging the structs also has the advantage that if a bounce buffer is
added to the request struct, a read operation can be performed to fill
the bounce buffer, the contents of the buffer can be modified and then
a write operation can be performed on it to send the data wherever it
needs to go using the same request structure all the way through. The
I/O handlers would then transparently perform any required crypto.
This should make it easier to perform RMW cycles if needed.
The potentially common functions and structs, however, by their names
all proclaim themselves to be associated with the read side of things.
The bulk of these changes alter this in the following ways:
- Rename struct netfs_read_{,sub}request to netfs_io_{,sub}request.
- Rename some enums, members and flags to make them more appropriate.
- Adjust some comments to match.
- Drop "read"/"rreq" from the names of common functions. For
instance, netfs_get_read_request() becomes netfs_get_request().
- The ->init_rreq() and ->issue_op() methods become ->init_request()
and ->issue_read(). I've kept the latter as a read-specific
function and in another branch added an ->issue_write() method.
The driver source is then reorganised into a number of files:
fs/netfs/buffered_read.c Create read reqs to the pagecache
fs/netfs/io.c Dispatchers for read and write reqs
fs/netfs/main.c Some general miscellaneous bits
fs/netfs/objects.c Alloc, get and put functions
fs/netfs/stats.c Optional procfs statistics.
and future development can be fitted into this scheme, e.g.:
fs/netfs/buffered_write.c Modify the pagecache
fs/netfs/buffered_flush.c Writeback from the pagecache
fs/netfs/direct_read.c DIO read support
fs/netfs/direct_write.c DIO write support
fs/netfs/unbuffered_write.c Write modifications directly back
Beyond the above changes, there are also some changes that affect how
things work:
- Make fscache_end_operation() generally available.
- In the netfs tracing header, generate enums from the symbol ->
string mapping tables rather than manually coding them.
- Add a struct for filesystems that uses netfslib to put into their
inode wrapper structs to hold extra state that netfslib is
interested in, such as the fscache cookie. This allows netfslib
functions to be set in filesystem operation tables and jumped to
directly without having to have a filesystem wrapper.
- Add a member to the struct added above to track the remote inode
length as that may differ if local modifications are buffered. We
may need to supply an appropriate EOF pointer when storing data (in
AFS for example).
- Pass extra information to netfs_alloc_request() so that the
->init_request() hook can access it and retain information to
indicate the origin of the operation.
- Make the ->init_request() hook return an error, thereby allowing a
filesystem that isn't allowed to cache an inode (ceph or cifs, for
example) to skip readahead.
- Switch to using refcount_t for subrequests and add tracepoints to
log refcount changes for the request and subrequest structs.
- Add a function to consolidate dispatching a read request. Similar
code is used in three places and another couple are likely to be
added in the future"

A network filesystem may set coherency data on a volume cookie, and if
given, cachefiles will store this in an xattr on the directory in the
cache corresponding to the volume.
The function that sets the xattr just stores the contents of the volume
coherency buffer directly into the xattr, with nothing added; the
checking function, on the other hand, has a cut'n'paste error whereby it
tries to interpret the xattr contents as would be the xattr on an
ordinary file (using the cachefiles_xattr struct). This results in a
failure to match the coherency data because the buffer ends up being
shifted by 18 bytes.
Fix this by defining a structure specifically for the volume xattr and
making both the setting and checking functions use it.
Since the volume coherency doesn't work if used, take the opportunity to
insert a reserved field for future use, set it to 0 and check that it is
0. Log mismatch through the appropriate tracepoint.
Note that this only affects cifs; 9p, afs, ceph and nfs don't use the
volume coherency data at the moment.

When cachefiles_shorten_object() calls fallocate() to shape the cache
file to match the DIO size, it passes the total file size it wants to
achieve, not the amount of zeros that should be inserted. Since this is
meant to preallocate that amount of storage for the file, it can cause
the cache to fill up the disk and hit ENOSPC.
Fix this by passing the length actually required to go from the current
EOF to the desired EOF.

Cachefiles keeps track of how much space is available on the backing
filesystem and refuses new writes permission to start if there isn't enough
(we especially don't want ENOSPC happening). It also tracks the amount of
data pending in DIO writes (cache->b_writing) and reduces the amount of
free space available by this amount before deciding if it can set up a new
write.
However, the old fscache I/O API was very much page-granularity dependent
and, as such, cachefiles's cache->bshift was meant to be a multiplier to
get from PAGE_SIZE to block size (ie. a blocksize of 512 would give a shift
of 3 for a 4KiB page) - and this was incorrectly being used to turn the
number of bytes in a DIO write into a number of blocks, leading to a
massive over estimation of the amount of data in flight.
Fix this by changing cache->bshift to be a multiplier from bytes to
blocksize and deal with quantities of blocks, not quantities of pages.
Fix also the rounding in the calculation in cachefiles_write() which needs
a "- 1" inserting.

Merge tag 'fscache-rewrite-20220111' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs
Pull fscache rewrite from David Howells:
"This is a set of patches that rewrites the fscache driver and the
cachefiles driver, significantly simplifying the code compared to
what's upstream, removing the complex operation scheduling and object
state machine in favour of something much smaller and simpler.
The series is structured such that the first few patches disable
fscache use by the network filesystems using it, remove the cachefiles
driver entirely and as much of the fscache driver as can be got away
with without causing build failures in the network filesystems.
The patches after that recreate fscache and then cachefiles,
attempting to add the pieces in a logical order. Finally, the
filesystems are reenabled and then the very last patch changes the
documentation.
[!] Note: I have dropped the cifs patch for the moment, leaving local
caching in cifs disabled. I've been having trouble getting that
working. I think I have it done, but it needs more testing (there
seem to be some test failures occurring with v5.16 also from
xfstests), so I propose deferring that patch to the end of the
merge window.
WHY REWRITE?
============
Fscache's operation scheduling API was intended to handle sequencing
of cache operations, which were all required (where possible) to run
asynchronously in parallel with the operations being done by the
network filesystem, whilst allowing the cache to be brought online and
offline and to interrupt service for invalidation.
With the advent of the tmpfile capacity in the VFS, however, an
opportunity arises to do invalidation much more simply, without having
to wait for I/O that's actually in progress: Cachefiles can simply
create a tmpfile, cut over the file pointer for the backing object
attached to a cookie and abandon the in-progress I/O, dismissing it
upon completion.
Future work here would involve using Omar Sandoval's vfs_link() with
AT_LINK_REPLACE[1] to allow an extant file to be displaced by a new
hard link from a tmpfile as currently I have to unlink the old file
first.
These patches can also simplify the object state handling as I/O
operations to the cache don't all have to be brought to a stop in
order to invalidate a file. To that end, and with an eye on to writing
a new backing cache model in the future, I've taken the opportunity to
simplify the indexing structure.
I've separated the index cookie concept from the file cookie concept
by C type now. The former is now called a "volume cookie" (struct
fscache_volume) and there is a container of file cookies. There are
then just the two levels. All the index cookie levels are collapsed
into a single volume cookie, and this has a single printable string as
a key. For instance, an AFS volume would have a key of something like
"afs,example.com,1000555", combining the filesystem name, cell name
and volume ID. This is freeform, but must not have '/' chars in it.
I've also eliminated all pointers back from fscache into the network
filesystem. This required the duplication of a little bit of data in
the cookie (cookie key, coherency data and file size), but it's not
actually that much. This gets rid of problems with making sure we keep
netfs data structures around so that the cache can access them.
These patches mean that most of the code that was in the drivers
before is simply gone and those drivers are now almost entirely new
code. That being the case, there doesn't seem any particular reason to
try and maintain bisectability across it. Further, there has to be a
point in the middle where things are cut over as there's a single
point everything has to go through (ie. /dev/cachefiles) and it can't
be in use by two drivers at once.
ISSUES YET OUTSTANDING
======================
There are some issues still outstanding, unaddressed by this patchset,
that will need fixing in future patchsets, but that don't stop this
series from being usable:
(1) The cachefiles driver needs to stop using the backing filesystem's
metadata to store information about what parts of the cache are
populated. This is not reliable with modern extent-based
filesystems.
Fixing this is deferred to a separate patchset as it involves
negotiation with the network filesystem and the VM as to how much
data to download to fulfil a read - which brings me on to (2)...
(2) NFS (and CIFS with the dropped patch) do not take account of how
the cache would like I/O to be structured to meet its granularity
requirements. Previously, the cache used page granularity, which
was fine as the network filesystems also dealt in page
granularity, and the backing filesystem (ext4, xfs or whatever)
did whatever it did out of sight. However, we now have folios to
deal with and the cache will now have to store its own metadata to
track its contents.
The change I'm looking at making for cachefiles is to store
content bitmaps in one or more xattrs and making a bit in the map
correspond to something like a 256KiB block. However, the size of
an xattr and the fact that they have to be read/updated in one go
means that I'm looking at covering 1GiB of data per 512-byte map
and storing each map in an xattr. Cachefiles has the potential to
grow into a fully fledged filesystem of its very own if I'm not
careful.
However, I'm also looking at changing things even more radically
and going to a different model of how the cache is arranged and
managed - one that's more akin to the way, say, openafs does
things - which brings me on to (3)...
(3) The way cachefilesd does culling is very inefficient for large
caches and it would be better to move it into the kernel if I can
as cachefilesd has to keep asking the kernel if it can cull a
file. Changing the way the backend works would allow this to be
addressed.
BITS THAT MAY BE CONTROVERSIAL
==============================
There are some bits I've added that may be controversial:
(1) I've provided a flag, S_KERNEL_FILE, that cachefiles uses to check
if a files is already being used by some other kernel service
(e.g. a duplicate cachefiles cache in the same directory) and
reject it if it is. This isn't entirely necessary, but it helps
prevent accidental data corruption.
I don't want to use S_SWAPFILE as that has other effects, but
quite possibly swapon() should set S_KERNEL_FILE too.
Note that it doesn't prevent userspace from interfering, though
perhaps it should. (I have made it prevent a marked directory from
being rmdir-able).
(2) Cachefiles wants to keep the backing file for a cookie open whilst
we might need to write to it from network filesystem writeback.
The problem is that the network filesystem unuses its cookie when
its file is closed, and so we have nothing pinning the cachefiles
file open and it will get closed automatically after a short time
to avoid EMFILE/ENFILE problems.
Reopening the cache file, however, is a problem if this is being
done due to writeback triggered by exit(). Some filesystems will
oops if we try to open a file in that context because they want to
access current->fs or suchlike.
To get around this, I added the following:
(A) An inode flag, I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB, to be set on a network
filesystem inode to indicate that we have a usage count on the
cookie caching that inode.
(B) A flag in struct writeback_control, unpinned_fscache_wb, that
is set when __writeback_single_inode() clears the last dirty
page from i_pages - at which point it clears
I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and sets this flag.
This has to be done here so that clearing I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB
can be done atomically with the check of PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
that clears I_DIRTY_PAGES.
(C) A function, fscache_set_page_dirty(), which if it is not set,
sets I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and calls fscache_use_cookie() to
pin the cache resources.
(D) A function, fscache_unpin_writeback(), to be called by
->write_inode() to unuse the cookie.
(E) A function, fscache_clear_inode_writeback(), to be called when
the inode is evicted, before clear_inode() is called. This
cleans up any lingering I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB.
The network filesystem can then use these tools to make sure that
fscache_write_to_cache() can write locally modified data to the
cache as well as to the server.
For the future, I'm working on write helpers for netfs lib that
should allow this facility to be removed by keeping track of the
dirty regions separately - but that's incomplete at the moment and
is also going to be affected by folios, one way or another, since
it deals with pages"
