afs: do not send list of client addresses

2019-06-03T01:06:26+00:00

David Howells says: I'm told that there's not really any point populating the list. Current OpenAFS ignores it, as does AuriStor - and IBM AFS 3.6 will do the right thing. The list is actually useless as it's the client's view of the world, not the servers, so if there's any NAT in the way its contents are invalid. Further, it doesn't support IPv6 addresses. On that basis, feel free to make it an empty list and remove all the interface enumeration. V1 of this patch reworked the function to use a new helper for the ifa_list iteration to avoid sparse warnings once the proper __rcu annotations get added in struct in_device later. But, in light of the above, just remove afs_get_ipv4_interfaces. Compile tested only.

afs: Implement sillyrename for unlink and rename

2019-04-25T13:26:51+00:00

Implement sillyrename for AFS unlink and rename, using the NFS variant implementation as a basis. Note that the asynchronous file locking extender/releaser has to be notified with a state change to stop it complaining if there's a race between that and the actual file deletion. A tracepoint, afs_silly_rename, is also added to note the silly rename and the cleanup. The afs_edit_dir tracepoint is given some extra reason indicators and the afs_flock_ev tracepoint is given a silly-delete file lock cancellation indicator. Signed-off-by: David Howells

afs: Probe multiple fileservers simultaneously

2018-10-23T23:41:09+00:00

Send probes to all the unprobed fileservers in a fileserver list on all addresses simultaneously in an attempt to find out the fastest route whilst not getting stuck for 20s on any server or address that we don't get a reply from. This alleviates the problem whereby attempting to access a new server can take a long time because the rotation algorithm ends up rotating through all servers and addresses until it finds one that responds.

afs: Implement YFS support in the fs client

2018-10-23T23:41:08+00:00

Implement support for talking to YFS-variant fileservers in the cache manager and the filesystem client. These implement upgraded services on the same port as their AFS services. YFS fileservers provide expanded capabilities over AFS. Signed-off-by: David Howells

afs: Implement VL server rotation

2018-10-23T23:41:07+00:00

Track VL servers as independent entities rather than lumping all their addresses together into one set and implement server-level rotation by: (1) Add the concept of a VL server list, where each server has its own separate address list. This code is similar to the FS server list. (2) Use the DNS resolver to retrieve a set of servers and their associated addresses, ports, preference and weight ratings. (3) In the case of a legacy DNS resolver or an address list given directly through /proc/net/afs/cells, create a list containing just a dummy server record and attach all the addresses to that. (4) Implement a simple rotation policy, for the moment ignoring the priorities and weights assigned to the servers. (5) Show the address list through /proc/net/afs//vlservers. This also displays the source and status of the data as indicated by the upcall. Signed-off-by: David Howells

afs: Handle CONFIG_PROC_FS=n

2018-06-15T04:52:55+00:00

The AFS filesystem depends at the moment on /proc for configuration and also presents information that way - however, this causes a compilation failure if procfs is disabled. Fix it so that the procfs bits aren't compiled in if procfs is disabled. This means that you can't configure the AFS filesystem directly, but it is still usable provided that an up-to-date keyutils is installed to look up cells by SRV or AFSDB DNS records.

afs: Locally edit directory data for mkdir/create/unlink/...

2018-04-09T20:54:48+00:00

Locally edit the contents of an AFS directory upon a successful inode operation that modifies that directory (such as mkdir, create and unlink) so that we can avoid the current practice of re-downloading the directory after each change. This is viable provided that the directory version number we get back from the modifying RPC op is exactly incremented by 1 from what we had previously. The data in the directory contents is in a defined format that we have to parse locally to perform lookups and readdir, so modifying isn't a problem. If the edit fails, we just clear the VALID flag on the directory and it will be reloaded next time it is needed. Signed-off-by: David Howells

afs: Split the dynroot stuff out and give it its own ops tables

2018-04-09T20:54:00+00:00

Split the AFS dynamic root stuff out of the main directory handling file and into its own file as they share little in common. The dynamic root code also gets its own dentry and inode ops tables. Signed-off-by: David Howells

afs: Overhaul volume and server record caching and fileserver rotation

2017-11-13T15:38:19+00:00

The current code assumes that volumes and servers are per-cell and are never shared, but this is not enforced, and, indeed, public cells do exist that are aliases of each other. Further, an organisation can, say, set up a public cell and a private cell with overlapping, but not identical, sets of servers. The difference is purely in the database attached to the VL servers. The current code will malfunction if it sees a server in two cells as it assumes global address -> server record mappings and that each server is in just one cell. Further, each server may have multiple addresses - and may have addresses of different families (IPv4 and IPv6, say). To this end, the following structural changes are made: (1) Server record management is overhauled: (a) Server records are made independent of cell. The namespace keeps track of them, volume records have lists of them and each vnode has a server on which its callback interest currently resides. (b) The cell record no longer keeps a list of servers known to be in that cell. (c) The server records are now kept in a flat list because there's no single address to sort on. (d) Server records are now keyed by their UUID within the namespace. (e) The addresses for a server are obtained with the VL.GetAddrsU rather than with VL.GetEntryByName, using the server's UUID as a parameter. (f) Cached server records are garbage collected after a period of non-use and are counted out of existence before purging is allowed to complete. This protects the work functions against rmmod. (g) The servers list is now in /proc/fs/afs/servers. (2) Volume record management is overhauled: (a) An RCU-replaceable server list is introduced. This tracks both servers and their coresponding callback interests. (b) The superblock is now keyed on cell record and numeric volume ID. (c) The volume record is now tied to the superblock which mounts it, and is activated when mounted and deactivated when unmounted. This makes it easier to handle the cache cookie without causing a double-use in fscache. (d) The volume record is loaded from the VLDB using VL.GetEntryByNameU to get the server UUID list. (e) The volume name is updated if it is seen to have changed when the volume is updated (the update is keyed on the volume ID). (3) The vlocation record is got rid of and VLDB records are no longer cached. Sufficient information is stored in the volume record, though an update to a volume record is now no longer shared between related volumes (volumes come in bundles of three: R/W, R/O and backup). and the following procedural changes are made: (1) The fileserver cursor introduced previously is now fleshed out and used to iterate over fileservers and their addresses. (2) Volume status is checked during iteration, and the server list is replaced if a change is detected. (3) Server status is checked during iteration, and the address list is replaced if a change is detected. (4) The abort code is saved into the address list cursor and -ECONNABORTED returned in afs_make_call() if a remote abort happened rather than translating the abort into an error message. This allows actions to be taken depending on the abort code more easily. (a) If a VMOVED abort is seen then this is handled by rechecking the volume and restarting the iteration. (b) If a VBUSY, VRESTARTING or VSALVAGING abort is seen then this is handled by sleeping for a short period and retrying and/or trying other servers that might serve that volume. A message is also displayed once until the condition has cleared. (c) If a VOFFLINE abort is seen, then this is handled as VBUSY for the moment. (d) If a VNOVOL abort is seen, the volume is rechecked in the VLDB to see if it has been deleted; if not, the fileserver is probably indicating that the volume couldn't be attached and needs salvaging. (e) If statfs() sees one of these aborts, it does not sleep, but rather returns an error, so as not to block the umount program. (5) The fileserver iteration functions in vnode.c are now merged into their callers and more heavily macroised around the cursor. vnode.c is removed. (6) Operations on a particular vnode are serialised on that vnode because the server will lock that vnode whilst it operates on it, so a second op sent will just have to wait. (7) Fileservers are probed with FS.GetCapabilities before being used. This is where service upgrade will be done. (8) A callback interest on a fileserver is set up before an FS operation is performed and passed through to afs_make_call() so that it can be set on the vnode if the operation returns a callback. The callback interest is passed through to afs_iget() also so that it can be set there too. In general, record updating is done on an as-needed basis when we try to access servers, volumes or vnodes rather than offloading it to work items and special threads. Notes: (1) Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can be added back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998). (2) VBUSY is retried forever for the moment at intervals of 1s. (3) /proc/fs/afs//servers no longer exists. Signed-off-by: David Howells
