nfs: add LOCALIO support

Add client support for bypassing NFS for localhost reads, writes, and
commits. This is only useful when the client and the server are
running on the same host.

nfs_local_probe() is stubbed out, later commits will enable client and
server handshake via a Linux-only LOCALIO auxiliary RPC protocol.

This has dynamic binding with the nfsd module (via nfs_localio module
which is part of nfs_common). LOCALIO will only work if nfsd is
already loaded.

The "localio_enabled" nfs kernel module parameter can be used to
disable and enable the ability to use LOCALIO support.

CONFIG_NFS_LOCALIO enables NFS client support for LOCALIO.

Lastly, LOCALIO uses an nfsd_file to initiate all IO. To make proper
use of nfsd_file (and nfsd's filecache) its lifetime (duration before
nfsd_file_put is called) must extend until after commit, read and
write operations. So rather than immediately drop the nfsd_file
reference in nfs_local_open_fh(), that doesn't happen until
nfs_local_pgio_release() for read/write and not until
nfs_local_release_commit_data() for commit. The same applies to the
reference held on nfsd's nn->nfsd_serv. Both objects' lifetimes and
associated references are managed through calls to
nfs_to->nfsd_file_put_local().

Merge tag 'fscache-rewrite-20220111' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

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"

nfs: Convert to new fscache volume/cookie API

Change the nfs filesystem to support fscache's indexing rewrite and
reenable caching in nfs.

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 nfs, I've made it render the volume name string as:

"nfs,<ver>,<family>,<address>,<port>,<fsidH>,<fsidL>*<,param>[,<uniq>]"

(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) fscache_enable/disable_cookie() have been removed.

Call fscache_use_cookie() and fscache_unuse_cookie() 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.

If a file is opened for writing, we invalidate it with
FSCACHE_INVAL_DIO_WRITE in lieu of doing writeback to the cache,
thereby making it cease caching until all currently open files are
closed. This should give the same behaviour as the uptream code.
Making the cache store local modifications isn't straightforward for
NFS, so that's left for future patches.

(5) fscache_invalidate() now needs to be given uptodate auxiliary data and
a file size. It also takes a flag to indicate if this was due to a
DIO write.

(6) Call nfs_fscache_invalidate() with FSCACHE_INVAL_DIO_WRITE on a file
to which a DIO write is made.

(7) Call fscache_note_page_release() from nfs_release_page().

(8) Use a killable wait in nfs_vm_page_mkwrite() when waiting for
PG_fscache to be cleared.

(9) The functions to read and write data to/from the cache are stubbed out
pending a conversion to use netfslib.

Changes
=======
ver #3:
- Added missing =n fallback for nfs_fscache_release_file()[1][2].

ver #2:
- Use gfpflags_allow_blocking() rather than using flag directly.
- fscache_acquire_volume() now returns errors.
- Remove NFS_INO_FSCACHE as it's no longer used.
- Need to unuse a cookie on file-release, not inode-clear.
