rxrpc: Allow CHALLENGEs to the passed to the app for a RESPONSE

2025-04-15T00:36:41+00:00

Allow the app to request that CHALLENGEs be passed to it through an out-of-band queue that allows recvmsg() to pick it up so that the app can add data to it with sendmsg(). This will allow the application (AFS or userspace) to interact with the process if it wants to and put values into user-defined fields. This will be used by AFS when talking to a fileserver to supply that fileserver with a crypto key by which callback RPCs can be encrypted (ie. notifications from the fileserver to the client).

afs: Use the contained hashtable to search a directory

2024-12-20T21:34:09+00:00

Each directory image contains a hashtable with 128 buckets to speed up searching. Currently, kafs does not use this, but rather iterates over all the occupied slots in the image as it can share this with readdir. Switch kafs to use the hashtable for lookups to reduce the latency. Care must be taken that the hash chains are acyclic.

afs: Provide a way to configure address priorities

2024-01-01T16:37:26+00:00

AFS servers may have multiple addresses, but the client can't easily judge between them as to which one is best. For instance, an address that has a larger RTT might actually have a better bandwidth because it goes through a switch rather than being directly connected - but we can't work this out dynamically unless we push through sufficient data that we can measure it. To allow the administrator to configure this, add a list of preference weightings for server addresses by IPv4/IPv6 address or subnet and allow this to be viewed through a procfile and altered by writing text commands to that same file. Preference rules can be added/updated by: echo "add [/] " >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs echo "add udp 1.2.3.4 1000" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs echo "add udp 192.168.0.0/16 3000" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs echo "add udp 1001:2002:0:6::/64 4000" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs and removed by: echo "del [/]" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs echo "del udp 1.2.3.4" >/proc/fs/afs/addr_prefs where the priority is a number between 0 and 65535. The list is split between IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and each sublist is kept in numerical order, with rules that would otherwise match but have different subnet masking being ordered with the most specific submatch first. A subsequent patch will apply these rules. Signed-off-by: David Howells cc: Marc Dionne cc: linux-afs@lists.infradead.org

afs: Convert afs to use the new fscache API

2022-01-07T13:44:47+00:00

Change the afs filesystem to support the new afs driver. 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. There's also no longer a cell cookie. (2) The volume cookie is now an fscache_volume cookie, allocated with fscache_acquire_volume(). This function 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 afs, I've made it render the volume name string as: "afs,," and the coherency data is currently 0. (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, except that these are now stored in big endian form instead of cpu endian. This makes the cache more copyable. (4) fscache_use_cookie() and fscache_unuse_cookie() are called 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. fscache_use_cookie() is given an indication if the cache is likely to be modified locally (e.g. the file is open for writing). fscache_unuse_cookie() is given a coherency update if we had the file open for writing and will update that. (5) fscache_invalidate() is now given uptodate auxiliary data and a file size. It can also take a flag to indicate if this was due to a DIO write. This is wrapped into afs_fscache_invalidate() now for convenience. (6) fscache_resize() now gets called from the finalisation of afs_setattr(), and afs_setattr() does use/unuse of the cookie around the call to support this. (7) fscache_note_page_release() is called from afs_release_page(). (8) Use a killable wait in nfs_vm_page_mkwrite() when waiting for PG_fscache to be cleared. Render the parts of the cookie key for an afs inode cookie as big endian. Changes ======= ver #2: - Use gfpflags_allow_blocking() rather than using flag directly. - fscache_acquire_volume() now returns errors.

afs: Detect cell aliases 1 - Cells with root volumes

2020-06-04T14:37:57+00:00

Put in the first phase of cell alias detection. This part handles alias detection for cells that have root.cell volumes (which is expected to be likely). When a cell becomes newly active, it is probed for its root.cell volume, and if it has one, this volume is compared against other root.cell volumes to find out if the list of fileserver UUIDs have any in common - and if that's the case, do the address lists of those fileservers have any addresses in common. If they do, the new cell is adjudged to be an alias of the old cell and the old cell is used instead. Comparing is aided by the server list in struct afs_server_list being sorted in UUID order and the addresses in the fileserver address lists being sorted in address order. The cell then retains the afs_volume object for the root.cell volume, even if it's not mounted for future alias checking. This necessary because: (1) Whilst fileservers have UUIDs that are meant to be globally unique, in practice they are not because cells get cloned without changing the UUIDs - so afs_server records need to be per cell. (2) Sometimes the DNS is used to make cell aliases - but if we don't know they're the same, we may end up with multiple superblocks and multiple afs_server records for the same thing, impairing our ability to deliver callback notifications of third party changes (3) The fileserver RPC API doesn't contain the cell name, so it can't tell us which cell it's notifying and can't see that a change made to to one cell should notify the same client that's also accessed as the other cell.

afs: Build an abstraction around an "operation" concept

2020-06-04T14:37:17+00:00

Turn the afs_operation struct into the main way that most fileserver operations are managed. Various things are added to the struct, including the following: (1) All the parameters and results of the relevant operations are moved into it, removing corresponding fields from the afs_call struct. afs_call gets a pointer to the op. (2) The target volume is made the main focus of the operation, rather than the target vnode(s), and a bunch of op->vnode->volume are made op->volume instead. (3) Two vnode records are defined (op->file[]) for the vnode(s) involved in most operations. The vnode record (struct afs_vnode_param) contains: - The vnode pointer. - The fid of the vnode to be included in the parameters or that was returned in the reply (eg. FS.MakeDir). - The status and callback information that may be returned in the reply about the vnode. - Callback break and data version tracking for detecting simultaneous third-parth changes. (4) Pointers to dentries to be updated with new inodes. (5) An operations table pointer. The table includes pointers to functions for issuing AFS and YFS-variant RPCs, handling the success and abort of an operation and handling post-I/O-lock local editing of a directory. To make this work, the following function restructuring is made: (A) The rotation loop that issues calls to fileservers that can be found in each function that wants to issue an RPC (such as afs_mkdir()) is extracted out into common code, in a new file called fs_operation.c. (B) The rotation loops, such as the one in afs_mkdir(), are replaced with a much smaller piece of code that allocates an operation, sets the parameters and then calls out to the common code to do the actual work. (C) The code for handling the success and failure of an operation are moved into operation functions (as (5) above) and these are called from the core code at appropriate times. (D) The pseudo inode getting stuff used by the dynamic root code is moved over into dynroot.c. (E) struct afs_iget_data is absorbed into the operation struct and afs_iget() expects to be given an op pointer and a vnode record. (F) Point (E) doesn't work for the root dir of a volume, but we know the FID in advance (it's always vnode 1, unique 1), so a separate inode getter, afs_root_iget(), is provided to special-case that. (G) The inode status init/update functions now also take an op and a vnode record. (H) The RPC marshalling functions now, for the most part, just take an afs_operation struct as their only argument. All the data they need is held there. The result delivery functions write their answers there as well. (I) The call is attached to the operation and then the operation core does the waiting. And then the new operation code is, for the moment, made to just initialise the operation, get the appropriate vnode I/O locks and do the same rotation loop as before. This lays the foundation for the following changes in the future: (*) Overhauling the rotation (again). (*) Support for asynchronous I/O, where the fileserver rotation must be done asynchronously also. Signed-off-by: David Howells

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.
