The read-retry code checks the NETFS_RREQ_COPY_TO_CACHE flag to determine
if there might be failed reads from the cache that need turning into reads
from the server, with the intention of skipping the complicated part if it
can. The code that set the flag, however, got lost during the read-side
rewrite.
Fix the check to see if the cache_resources are valid instead. The flag
can then be removed.

netfs: Fix the (non-)cancellation of copy when cache is temporarily disabled
When the caching for a cookie is temporarily disabled (e.g. due to a DIO
write on that file), future copying to the cache for that file is disabled
until all fds open on that file are closed. However, if netfslib is using
the deprecated PG_private_2 method (such as is currently used by ceph), and
decides it wants to copy to the cache, netfs_advance_write() will just bail
at the first check seeing that the cache stream is unavailable, and
indicate that it dealt with all the content.
This means that we have no subrequests to provide notifications to drive
the state machine or even to pin the request and the request just gets
discarded, leaving the folios with PG_private_2 set.
Fix this by jumping directly to cancel the request if the cache is not
available. That way, we don't remove mark3 from the folio_queue list and
netfs_pgpriv2_cancel() will clean up the folios.
This was found by running the generic/013 xfstest against ceph with an
active cache and the "-o fsc" option passed to ceph. That would usually
hang

netfs: Fix ceph copy to cache on write-begin
At the end of netfs_unlock_read_folio() in which folios are marked
appropriately for copying to the cache (either with by being marked dirty
and having their private data set or by having PG_private_2 set) and then
unlocked, the folio_queue struct has the entry pointing to the folio
cleared. This presents a problem for netfs_pgpriv2_write_to_the_cache(),
which is used to write folios marked with PG_private_2 to the cache as it
expects to be able to trawl the folio_queue list thereafter to find the
relevant folios, leading to a hang.
Fix this by not clearing the folio_queue entry if we're going to do the
deprecated copy-to-cache. The clearance will be done instead as the folios
are written to the cache.
This can be reproduced by starting cachefiles, mounting a ceph filesystem
with "-o fsc" and writing to it.

netfs: Work around recursion by abandoning retry if nothing read
syzkaller reported recursion with a loop of three calls (netfs_rreq_assess,
netfs_retry_reads and netfs_rreq_terminated) hitting the limit of the stack
during an unbuffered or direct I/O read.
There are a number of issues:
(1) There is no limit on the number of retries.
(2) A subrequest is supposed to be abandoned if it does not transfer
anything (NETFS_SREQ_NO_PROGRESS), but that isn't checked under all
circumstances.
(3) The actual root cause, which is this:
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&rreq->nr_outstanding))
netfs_rreq_terminated(rreq, ...);
When we do a retry, we bump the rreq->nr_outstanding counter to
prevent the final cleanup phase running before we've finished
dispatching the retries. The problem is if we hit 0, we have to do
the cleanup phase - but we're in the cleanup phase and end up
repeating the retry cycle, hence the recursion.
Work around the problem by limiting the number of retries. This is based
on Lizhi Xu's patch[1], and makes the following changes:
(1) Replace NETFS_SREQ_NO_PROGRESS with NETFS_SREQ_MADE_PROGRESS and make
the filesystem set it if it managed to read or write at least one byte
of data. Clear this bit before issuing a subrequest.
(2) Add a ->retry_count member to the subrequest and increment it any time
we do a retry.
(3) Remove the NETFS_SREQ_RETRYING flag as it is superfluous with
->retry_count. If the latter is non-zero, we're doing a retry.
(4) Abandon a subrequest if retry_count is non-zero and we made no
progress.
(5) Use ->retry_count in both the write-side and the read-size.
[?] Question: Should I set a hard limit on retry_count in both read and
write? Say it hits 50, we always abandon it. The problem is that
these changes only mitigate the issue. As long as it made at least one
byte of progress, the recursion is still an issue. This patch
mitigates the problem, but does not fix the underlying cause. I have
patches that will do that, but it's an intrusive fix that's currently
pending for the next merge window.
The oops generated by KASAN looks something like:

Fix this by moving the handling to a common place and jumping to it from
all four places. This is in preference to inserting a wrapper around

netfs/fscache: Add a memory barrier for FSCACHE_VOLUME_CREATING
In fscache_create_volume(), there is a missing memory barrier between the
bit-clearing operation and the wake-up operation. This may cause a
situation where, after a wake-up, the bit-clearing operation hasn't been
detected yet, leading to an indefinite wait. The triggering process is as
follows:
[cookie1] [cookie2] [volume_work]
fscache_perform_lookup
fscache_create_volume
fscache_perform_lookup
fscache_create_volume
fscache_create_volume_work
cachefiles_acquire_volume
clear_and_wake_up_bit
test_and_set_bit
test_and_set_bit
goto maybe_wait
goto no_wait
In the above process, cookie1 and cookie2 has the same volume. When cookie1
enters the -no_wait- process, it will clear the bit and wake up the waiting
process. If a barrier is missing, it may cause cookie2 to remain in the
-wait- process indefinitely.
In commit 3288666c7256 ("fscache: Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in
fscache_create_volume_work()"), barriers were added to similar operations
in fscache_create_volume_work(), but fscache_create_volume() was missed.
By combining the clear and wake operations into clear_and_wake_up_bit() to
fix this issue.

netfs: Downgrade i_rwsem for a buffered write
In the I/O locking code borrowed from NFS into netfslib, i_rwsem is held
locked across a buffered write - but this causes a performance regression
in cifs as it excludes buffered reads for the duration (cifs didn't use any
locking for buffered reads).
Mitigate this somewhat by downgrading the i_rwsem to a read lock across the
buffered write. This at least allows parallel reads to occur whilst
excluding other writes, DIO, truncate and setattr.
Note that this shouldn't be a problem for a buffered write as a read
through an mmap can circumvent i_rwsem anyway.
Also note that we might want to make this change in NFS also.

netfs: Fix missing wakeup after issuing writes
After dividing up a proposed write into subrequests, netfslib sets
NETFS_RREQ_ALL_QUEUED to indicate to the collector that it can move on to
the final cleanup once it has emptied the subrequest queues.
Now, whilst the collector will normally end up running at least once after
this bit is set just because it takes a while to process all the write
subrequests before the collector runs out of subrequests, there exists the
possibility that the issuing thread will be forced to sleep and the
collector thread will clean up all the subrequests before ALL_QUEUED gets
set.
In such a case, the collector thread will not get triggered again and will
never clear NETFS_RREQ_IN_PROGRESS thus leaving a request uncompleted and
causing a potential futute hang.
Fix this by scheduling the write collector if all the subrequest queues are
empty (and thus no writes pending issuance).
Note that we'd do this ideally before queuing the subrequest, but in the
case of buffered writeback, at least, we can't find out that we've run out
of folios until after we've called writeback_iter() and it has returned
NULL - at which point we might not actually have any subrequests still
under construction.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.12.netfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work to improve read/write performance for the new
netfs library.
The main performance enhancing changes are:
- Define a structure, struct folio_queue, and a new iterator type,
ITER_FOLIOQ, to hold a buffer as a replacement for ITER_XARRAY. See
that patch for questions about naming and form.
ITER_FOLIOQ is provided as a replacement for ITER_XARRAY. The
problem with an xarray is that accessing it requires the use of a
lock (typically the RCU read lock) - and this means that we can't
supply iterate_and_advance() with a step function that might sleep
(crypto for example) without having to drop the lock between pages.
ITER_FOLIOQ is the iterator for a chain of folio_queue structs,
where each folio_queue holds a small list of folios. A folio_queue
struct is a simpler structure than xarray and is not subject to
concurrent manipulation by the VM. folio_queue is used rather than
a bvec[] as it can form lists of indefinite size, adding to one end
and removing from the other on the fly.
- Provide a copy_folio_from_iter() wrapper.
- Make cifs RDMA support ITER_FOLIOQ.
- Use folio queues in the write-side helpers instead of xarrays.
- Add a function to reset the iterator in a subrequest.
- Simplify the write-side helpers to use sheaves to skip gaps rather
than trying to work out where gaps are.
- In afs, make the read subrequests asynchronous, putting them into
work items to allow the next patch to do progressive
unlocking/reading.
- Overhaul the read-side helpers to improve performance.
- Fix the caching of a partial block at the end of a file.
- Allow a store to be cancelled.
Then some changes for cifs to make it use folio queues instead of
xarrays for crypto bufferage:
- Use raw iteration functions rather than manually coding iteration
when hashing data.
- Switch to using folio_queue for crypto buffers.
- Remove the xarray bits.
Make some adjustments to the /proc/fs/netfs/stats file such that:
- All the netfs stats lines begin 'Netfs:' but change this to
something a bit more useful.
- Add a couple of stats counters to track the numbers of skips and
waits on the per-inode writeback serialisation lock to make it
easier to check for this as a source of performance loss.
Miscellaneous work:
- Ensure that the sb_writers lock is taken around
vfs_{set,remove}xattr() in the cachefiles code.
- Reduce the number of conditional branches in netfs_perform_write().
- Move the CIFS_INO_MODIFIED_ATTR flag to the netfs_inode struct and
remove cifs_post_modify().
- Move the max_len/max_nr_segs members from netfs_io_subrequest to
netfs_io_request as they're only needed for one subreq at a time.
- Add an 'unknown' source value for tracing purposes.
- Remove NETFS_COPY_TO_CACHE as it's no longer used.
- Set the request work function up front at allocation time.
- Use bh-disabling spinlocks for rreq->lock as cachefiles completion
may be run from block-filesystem DIO completion in softirq context.
- Remove fs/netfs/io.c"
