2022-09-24cachefiles: use vfs_tmpfile_open() helperMiklos Szeredi1-20/+12
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.

2022-08-31cachefiles: make on-demand request distribution fairerXin Yin2-3/+10
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.

2022-05-18cachefiles: implement on-demand readJeffle Xu3-2/+99
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.

Notify the user daemon that cookie is going to be withdrawn, providing a hint that the associated anonymous fd can be closed. 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 will still receive another new anonymous fd.

2022-05-18cachefiles: unbind cachefiles gracefully in on-demand modeJeffle Xu3-3/+22
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.

2022-05-18cachefiles: notify the user daemon when looking up cookieJeffle Xu6-15/+524
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.

Since it's called inside CacheFiles module, make the interface generic and unrelated to netfs_cache_resources. It is worth noting that, ki->inval_counter is not initialized after this cleanup.

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.

2022-03-11cachefiles: Fix volume coherency attributeDavid Howells1-3/+20
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.

2022-03-03cachefiles: Fix incorrect length to fallocate()David Howells1-1/+1
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.

2022-01-21cachefiles: Calculate the blockshift in terms of bytes, not pagesDavid Howells3-7/+4
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.

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" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/510611.1641942444@warthog.procyon.org.uk/ Tested-by: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@codewreck.org> # 9p Tested-by: kafs-testing@auristor.com # afs Tested-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> # ceph Tested-by: Dave Wysochanski <dwysocha@redhat.com> # nfs Tested-by: Daire Byrne <daire@dneg.com> # nfs * tag 'fscache-rewrite-20220111' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs: (67 commits) 9p, afs, ceph, nfs: Use current_is_kswapd() rather than gfpflags_allow_blocking() fscache: Add a tracepoint for cookie use/unuse fscache: Rewrite documentation ceph: add fscache writeback support ceph: conversion to new fscache API nfs: Implement cache I/O by accessing the cache directly nfs: Convert to new fscache volume/cookie API 9p: Copy local writes to the cache when writing to the server 9p: Use fscache indexing rewrite and reenable caching afs: Skip truncation on the server of data we haven't written yet afs: Copy local writes to the cache when writing to the server afs: Convert afs to use the new fscache API fscache, cachefiles: Display stat of culling events fscache, cachefiles: Display stats of no-space events cachefiles: Allow cachefiles to actually function fscache, cachefiles: Store the volume coherency data cachefiles: Implement the I/O routines cachefiles: Implement cookie resize for truncate cachefiles: Implement begin and end I/O operation cachefiles: Implement backing file wrangling ...

Implement the I/O routines for cachefiles. There are two sets of routines here: preparation and actual I/O. Preparation for read involves looking to see whether there is data present, and how much. Netfslib tells us what it wants us to do and we have the option of adjusting shrinking and telling it whether to read from the cache, download from the server or simply clear a region. Preparation for write involves checking for space and defending against possibly running short of space, if necessary punching out a hole in the file so that we don't leave old data in the cache if we update the coherency information. Then there's a read routine and a write routine. They wait for the cookie state to move to something appropriate and then start a potentially asynchronous direct I/O operation upon it.

2022-01-07cachefiles: Implement culling daemon commandsDavid Howells3-2/+320
Implement the ability for the userspace daemon to try and cull a file or directory in the cache. Two daemon commands are implemented: (1) The "inuse" command. This queries if a file is in use or whether it can be deleted. It checks the S_KERNEL_FILE flag on the inode referred to by the specified filename. (2) The "cull" command. This asks for a file or directory to be removed, where removal means either unlinking it or moving it to the graveyard directory for userspace to dismantle. Changes ======= ver #2: - Fix logging of wrong error[1]. - Need to unmark an inode we've moved to the graveyard before unlocking.

Use an xattr on each backing file in the cache to store some metadata, such as the content type and the coherency data. Five content types are defined: (0) No content stored. (1) The file contains a single monolithic blob and must be all or nothing. This would be used for something like an AFS directory or a symlink. (2) The file is populated with content completely up to a point with nothing beyond that. (3) The file has a map attached and is sparsely populated. This would be stored in one or more additional xattrs. (4) The file is dirty, being in the process of local modification and the contents are not necessarily represented correctly by the metadata. The file should be deleted if this is seen on binding.

Implement a function to encode a binary cookie key as something that can be used as a filename. Four options are considered: (1) All printable chars with no '/' characters. Prepend a 'D' to indicate the encoding but otherwise use as-is. (2) Appears to be an array of __be32. Encode as 'S' plus a list of hex-encoded 32-bit ints separated by commas. If a number is 0, it is rendered as "" instead of "0". (3) Appears to be an array of __le32. Encoded as (2) but with a 'T' encoding prefix. (4) Encoded as base64 with an 'E' prefix plus a second char indicating how much padding is involved. A non-standard base64 encoding is used because '/' cannot be used in the encoded form. If (1) is not possible, whichever of (2), (3) or (4) produces the shortest string is selected (hex-encoding a number may be less dense than base64 encoding it). Note that the prefix characters have to be selected from the set [DEIJST@] lest cachefilesd remove the files because it recognise the name.
