netfs: Rename the netfs_io_request cleanup op and give it an op pointer

2022-06-10T19:55:21Z

The netfs_io_request cleanup op is now always in a position to be given a pointer to a netfs_io_request struct, so this can be passed in instead of the mapping and private data arguments (both of which are included in the struct). So rename the ->cleanup op to ->free_request (to match ->init_request) and pass in the I/O pointer. Signed-off-by: David Howells Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton cc: linux-cachefs@redhat.com

netfs: Further cleanups after struct netfs_inode wrapper introduced

2022-06-10T19:55:21Z

Change the signature of netfs helper functions to take a struct netfs_inode pointer rather than a struct inode pointer where appropriate, thereby relieving the need for the network filesystem to convert its internal inode format down to the VFS inode only for netfslib to bounce it back up. For type safety, it's better not to do that (and it's less typing too). Give netfs_write_begin() an extra argument to pass in a pointer to the netfs_inode struct rather than deriving it internally from the file pointer. Note that the ->write_begin() and ->write_end() ops are intended to be replaced in the future by netfslib code that manages this without the need to call in twice for each page. netfs_readpage() and similar are intended to be pointed at directly by the address_space_operations table, so must stick to the signature dictated by the function pointers there. Changes ======= - Updated the kerneldoc comments and documentation [DH].

netfs: Fix gcc-12 warning by embedding vfs inode in netfs_i_context

2022-06-09T20:55:00Z

While randstruct was satisfied with using an open-coded "void *" offset cast for the netfs_i_context <-> inode casting, __builtin_object_size() as used by FORTIFY_SOURCE was not as easily fooled. This was causing the following complaint[1] from gcc v12: In file included from include/linux/string.h:253, from include/linux/ceph/ceph_debug.h:7, from fs/ceph/inode.c:2: In function 'fortify_memset_chk', inlined from 'netfs_i_context_init' at include/linux/netfs.h:326:2, inlined from 'ceph_alloc_inode' at fs/ceph/inode.c:463:2: include/linux/fortify-string.h:242:25: warning: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Wattribute-warning] 242 | __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fix this by embedding a struct inode into struct netfs_i_context (which should perhaps be renamed to struct netfs_inode). The struct inode vfs_inode fields are then removed from the 9p, afs, ceph and cifs inode structs and vfs_inode is then simply changed to "netfs.inode" in those filesystems. Further, rename netfs_i_context to netfs_inode, get rid of the netfs_inode() function that converted a netfs_i_context pointer to an inode pointer (that can now be done with &ctx->inode) and rename the netfs_i_context() function to netfs_inode() (which is now a wrapper around container_of()). Most of the changes were done with: perl -p -i -e 's/vfs_inode/netfs.inode/'g \ `git grep -l 'vfs_inode' -- fs/{9p,afs,ceph,cifs}/*.[ch]` Kees suggested doing it with a pair structure[2] and a special declarator to insert that into the network filesystem's inode wrapper[3], but I think it's cleaner to embed it - and then it doesn't matter if struct randomisation reorders things. Dave Chinner suggested using a filesystem-specific VFS_I() function in each filesystem to convert that filesystem's own inode wrapper struct into the VFS inode struct[4]. Version #2: - Fix a couple of missed name changes due to a disabled cifs option. - Rename nfs_i_context to nfs_inode - Use "netfs" instead of "nic" as the member name in per-fs inode wrapper structs. [ This also undoes commit 507160f46c55 ("netfs: gcc-12: temporarily disable '-Wattribute-warning' for now") that is no longer needed ] Fixes: bc899ee1c898 ("netfs: Add a netfs inode context") Reported-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: David Howells Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Reviewed-by: Xiubo Li cc: Jonathan Corbet cc: Eric Van Hensbergen cc: Latchesar Ionkov cc: Dominique Martinet cc: Christian Schoenebeck cc: Marc Dionne cc: Ilya Dryomov cc: Steve French cc: William Kucharski cc: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" cc: Dave Chinner cc: linux-doc@vger.kernel.org cc: v9fs-developer@lists.sourceforge.net cc: linux-afs@lists.infradead.org cc: ceph-devel@vger.kernel.org cc: linux-cifs@vger.kernel.org cc: samba-technical@lists.samba.org cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org cc: linux-hardening@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/d2ad3a3d7bdd794c6efb562d2f2b655fb67756b9.camel@kernel.org/ [1] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220517210230.864239-1-keescook@chromium.org/ [2] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220518202212.2322058-1-keescook@chromium.org/ [3] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220524101205.GI2306852@dread.disaster.area/ [4] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/165296786831.3591209.12111293034669289733.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk/ # v1 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/165305805651.4094995.7763502506786714216.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk # v2 Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever: "We introduce 'courteous server' in this release. Previously NFSD would purge open and lock state for an unresponsive client after one lease period (typically 90 seconds). Now, after one lease period, another client can open and lock those files and the unresponsive client's lease is purged; otherwise if the unresponsive client's open and lock state is uncontended, the server retains that open and lock state for up to 24 hours, allowing the client's workload to resume after a lengthy network partition. A longstanding issue with NFSv4 file creation is also addressed. Previously a file creation can fail internally, returning an error to the client, but leave the newly created file in place as an artifact. The file creation code path has been reorganized so that internal failures and race conditions are less likely to result in an unwanted file creation. A fault injector has been added to help exercise paths that are run during kernel metadata cache invalidation. These caches contain information maintained by user space about exported filesystems. Many of our test workloads do not trigger cache invalidation.
