Change the 9p filesystem to take account of the changes to fscache's
indexing rewrite and reenable caching in 9p.
The following changes have been made:
(1) The fscache_netfs struct is no more, and there's no need to register
the filesystem as a whole.
(2) The session cookie is now an fscache_volume cookie, allocated with
fscache_acquire_volume(). That takes three parameters: a string
representing the "volume" in the index, a string naming the cache to
use (or NULL) and a u64 that conveys coherency metadata for the
volume.
For 9p, I've made it render the volume name string as:
"9p,<devname>,<cachetag>"
where the cachetag is replaced by the aname if it wasn't supplied.
This probably needs rethinking a bit as the aname can have slashes in
it. It might be better to hash the cachetag and use the hash or I
could substitute commas for the slashes or something.
(3) The fscache_cookie_def is no more and needed information is passed
directly to fscache_acquire_cookie(). The cache no longer calls back
into the filesystem, but rather metadata changes are indicated at
other times.
fscache_acquire_cookie() is passed the same keying and coherency
information as before.
(4) The functions to set/reset/flush cookies are removed and
fscache_use_cookie() and fscache_unuse_cookie() are used instead.
fscache_use_cookie() is passed a flag to indicate if the cookie is
opened for writing. fscache_unuse_cookie() is passed updates for the
metadata if we changed it (ie. if the file was opened for writing).
These are called when the file is opened or closed.
(5) wait_on_page_bit[_killable]() is replaced with the specific wait
functions for the bits waited upon.
(6) I've got rid of some of the 9p-specific cache helper functions and
called things like fscache_relinquish_cookie() directly as they'll
optimise away if v9fs_inode_cookie() returns an unconditional NULL
(which will be the case if CONFIG_9P_FSCACHE=n).
(7) v9fs_vfs_setattr() is made to call fscache_resize() to change the size
of the cache object.
Notes:
(A) We should call fscache_invalidate() if we detect that the server's
copy of a file got changed by a third party, but I don't know where to
do that. We don't need to do that when allocating the cookie as we
get a check-and-invalidate when we initially bind to the cache object.
(B) The copy-to-cache-on-writeback side of things will be handled in
separate patch.
Changes
=======
ver #3:
- Canonicalise the cookie key and coherency data to make them
endianness-independent.
ver #2:
- Use gfpflags_allow_blocking() rather than using flag directly.

Change the afs filesystem to support the new afs driver.
The following changes have been made:
(1) The fscache_netfs struct is no more, and there's no need to register
the filesystem as a whole. There's also no longer a cell cookie.
(2) The volume cookie is now an fscache_volume cookie, allocated with
fscache_acquire_volume(). This function takes three parameters: a
string representing the "volume" in the index, a string naming the
cache to use (or NULL) and a u64 that conveys coherency metadata for
the volume.
For afs, I've made it render the volume name string as:
"afs,<cell>,<volume_id>"
and the coherency data is currently 0.
(3) The fscache_cookie_def is no more and needed information is passed
directly to fscache_acquire_cookie(). The cache no longer calls back
into the filesystem, but rather metadata changes are indicated at
other times.
fscache_acquire_cookie() is passed the same keying and coherency
information as before, except that these are now stored in big endian
form instead of cpu endian. This makes the cache more copyable.
(4) fscache_use_cookie() and fscache_unuse_cookie() are called when a file
is opened or closed to prevent a cache file from being culled and to
keep resources to hand that are needed to do I/O.
fscache_use_cookie() is given an indication if the cache is likely to
be modified locally (e.g. the file is open for writing).
fscache_unuse_cookie() is given a coherency update if we had the file
open for writing and will update that.
(5) fscache_invalidate() is now given uptodate auxiliary data and a file
size. It can also take a flag to indicate if this was due to a DIO
write. This is wrapped into afs_fscache_invalidate() now for
convenience.
(6) fscache_resize() now gets called from the finalisation of
afs_setattr(), and afs_setattr() does use/unuse of the cookie around
the call to support this.
(7) fscache_note_page_release() is called from afs_release_page().
(8) Use a killable wait in nfs_vm_page_mkwrite() when waiting for
PG_fscache to be cleared.
Render the parts of the cookie key for an afs inode cookie as big endian.

Cachefiles has a problem in that it needs to keep the backing file for a
cookie open whilst there are local modifications pending that need to be
written to it. However, we don't want to keep the file open indefinitely,
as that causes EMFILE/ENFILE/ENOMEM 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
other resources that have already been dismantled.
To get around this, I added the following:
(1) 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.
(2) 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.
(3) 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.
(4) A function, fscache_unpin_writeback(), to be called by ->write_inode()
to unuse the cookie.
(5) 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

Provide a higher-level function than fscache_write() to perform a write
from an inode's pagecache to the cache, whilst fending off concurrent
writes by means of the PG_fscache mark on a page:
void fscache_write_to_cache(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
struct address_space *mapping,
loff_t start,
size_t len,
loff_t i_size,
netfs_io_terminated_t term_func,
void *term_func_priv,
bool caching);
If caching is false, this function does nothing except call (*term_func)()
if given. It assumes that, in such a case, PG_fscache will not have been
set on the pages.
Otherwise, if caching is true, this function requires the source pages to
have had PG_fscache set on them before calling. start and len define the
region of the file to be modified and i_size indicates the new file size.
The source pages are extracted from the mapping.
term_func and term_func_priv work as for fscache_write(). The PG_fscache
marks will be cleared at the end of the operation, before term_func is
called or the function otherwise returns.
There is an additonal helper function to clear the PG_fscache bits from a
range of pages:
void fscache_clear_page_bits(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
struct address_space *mapping,
loff_t start, size_t len,
bool caching);
If caching is true, the pages to be managed are expected to be located on
mapping in the range defined by start and len. If caching is false, it
does nothing.

Provide a pair of functions to perform raw I/O on the cache. The first
function allows an arbitrary asynchronous direct-IO read to be made against
a cache object, though the read should be aligned and sized appropriately
for the backing device:
int fscache_read(struct netfs_cache_resources *cres,
loff_t start_pos,
struct iov_iter *iter,
enum netfs_read_from_hole read_hole,
netfs_io_terminated_t term_func,
void *term_func_priv);
The cache resources must have been previously initialised by
fscache_begin_read_operation(). A read operation is sent to the backing
filesystem, starting at start_pos within the file. The size of the read is
specified by the iterator, as is the location of the output buffer.
If there is a hole in the data it can be ignored and left to the backing
filesystem to deal with (NETFS_READ_HOLE_IGNORE), a hole at the beginning
can be skipped over and the buffer padded with zeros
(NETFS_READ_HOLE_CLEAR) or -ENODATA can be given (NETFS_READ_HOLE_FAIL).
If term_func is not NULL, the operation may be performed asynchronously.
Upon completion, successful or otherwise, (*term_func)() will be called and
passed term_func_priv, along with an error or the amount of data
transferred. If the op is run asynchronously, fscache_read() will return
-EIOCBQUEUED.
The second function allows an arbitrary asynchronous direct-IO write to be
made against a cache object, though the write should be aligned and sized
appropriately for the backing device:
int fscache_write(struct netfs_cache_resources *cres,
loff_t start_pos,
struct iov_iter *iter,
netfs_io_terminated_t term_func,
void *term_func_priv);
This works in very similar way to fscache_read(), except that there's no
need to deal with holes (they're just overwritten).
The caller is responsible for preventing concurrent overlapping writes.

Provide a function to begin a read operation:
int fscache_begin_read_operation(
struct netfs_cache_resources *cres,
struct fscache_cookie *cookie)
This is primarily intended to be called by network filesystems on behalf of
netfslib, but may also be called to use the I/O access functions directly.
It attaches the resources required by the cache to cres struct from the
supplied cookie.
This holds access to the cache behind the cookie for the duration of the
operation and forces cache withdrawal and cookie invalidation to perform
synchronisation on the operation. cres->inval_counter is set from the
cookie at this point so that it can be compared at the end of the
operation.
Note that this does not guarantee that the cache state is fully set up and
able to perform I/O immediately; looking up and creation may be left in
progress in the background. The operations intended to be called by the
network filesystem, such as reading and writing, are expected to wait for
the cookie to move to the correct state.
This will, however, potentially sleep, waiting for a certain minimum state
to be set or for operations such as invalidate to advance far enough that
I/O can resume.
Also provide a function for the cache to call to wait for the cache object
to get to a state where it can be used for certain things:
bool fscache_wait_for_operation(struct netfs_cache_resources *cres,
enum fscache_want_stage stage);
This looks at the cache resources provided by the begin function and waits
for them to get to an appropriate stage. There's a choice of wanting just
some parameters (FSCACHE_WANT_PARAM) or the ability to do I/O
(FSCACHE_WANT_READ or FSCACHE_WANT_WRITE).

Provide a pair of functions to count the number of users of a cookie (open
files, writeback, invalidation, resizing, reads, writes), to obtain and pin
resources for the cookie and to prevent culling for the whilst there are
users.
The first function marks a cookie as being in use:
void fscache_use_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
bool will_modify);
The caller should indicate the cookie to use and whether or not the caller
is in a context that may modify the cookie (e.g. a file open O_RDWR).
If the cookie is not already resourced, fscache will ask the cache backend
in the background to do whatever it needs to look up, create or otherwise
obtain the resources necessary to access data. This is pinned to the
cookie and may not be culled, though it may be withdrawn if the cache as a
whole is withdrawn.
The second function removes the in-use mark from a cookie and, optionally,
updates the coherency data:
void fscache_unuse_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
const void *aux_data,
const loff_t *object_size);
If non-NULL, the aux_data buffer and/or the object_size will be saved into
the cookie and will be set on the backing store when the object is
committed.
If this removes the last usage on a cookie, the cookie is placed onto an
LRU list from which it will be removed and closed after a couple of seconds
if it doesn't get reused. This prevents resource overload in the cache -
in particular it prevents it from holding too many files open.
Changes
=======
ver #2:
- Fix fscache_unuse_cookie() to use atomic_dec_and_lock() to avoid a
potential race if the cookie gets reused before it completes the
unusement.
- Added missing transition to LRU_DISCARDING state.

Add a number of helper functions to manage access to a cookie, pinning the
cache object in place for the duration to prevent cache withdrawal from
removing it:
(1) void fscache_init_access_gate(struct fscache_cookie *cookie);
This function initialises the access count when a cache binds to a
cookie. An extra ref is taken on the access count to prevent wakeups
while the cache is active. We're only interested in the wakeup when a
cookie is being withdrawn and we're waiting for it to quiesce - at
which point the counter will be decremented before the wait.
The FSCACHE_COOKIE_NACC_ELEVATED flag is set on the cookie to keep
track of the extra ref in order to handle a race between
relinquishment and withdrawal both trying to drop the extra ref.
(2) bool fscache_begin_cookie_access(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
enum fscache_access_trace why);
This function attempts to begin access upon a cookie, pinning it in
place if it's cached. If successful, it returns true and leaves a the
access count incremented.
(3) void fscache_end_cookie_access(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
enum fscache_access_trace why);
This function drops the access count obtained by (2), permitting
object withdrawal to take place when it reaches zero.
A tracepoint is provided to track changes to the access counter on a
cookie.

Add a pair of helper functions to manage access to a volume, pinning the

enum fscache_access_trace why);

The way the access gate on the volume works/will work is:
(1) If the cache tests as not live (state is not FSCACHE_CACHE_IS_ACTIVE),
then we return false to indicate access was not permitted.
(2) If the cache tests as live, then we increment the volume's n_accesses
count and then recheck the cache liveness, ending the access if it
ceased to be live.
(3) When we end the access, we decrement the volume's n_accesses and wake
up the any waiters if it reaches 0.
(4) Whilst the cache is caching, the volume's n_accesses is kept
artificially incremented to prevent wakeups from happening.
(5) When the cache is taken offline, the state is changed to prevent new
accesses, the volume's n_accesses is decremented and we wait for it to
become 0.
