afs: Fix dynamic lookup to fail on cell lookup failure

2025-10-29T12:51:38+00:00

When a process tries to access an entry in /afs, normally what happens is that an automount dentry is created by ->lookup() and then triggered, which jumps through the ->d_automount() op. Currently, afs_dynroot_lookup() does not do cell DNS lookup, leaving that to afs_d_automount() to perform - however, it is possible to use access() or stat() on the automount point, which will always return successfully, have briefly created an afs_cell record if one did not already exist. This means that something like: test -d "/afs/.west" && echo Directory exists will print "Directory exists" even though no such cell is configured. This breaks the "west" python module available on PIP as it expects this access to fail. Now, it could be possible to make afs_dynroot_lookup() perform the DNS[*] lookup, but that would make "ls --color /afs" do this for each cell in /afs that is listed but not yet probed. kafs-client, probably wrongly, preloads the entire cell database and all the known cells are then listed in /afs - and doing ls /afs would be very, very slow, especially if any cell supplied addresses but was wholly inaccessible. [*] When I say "DNS", actually read getaddrinfo(), which could use any one of a host of mechanisms. Could also use static configuration. To fix this, make the following changes: (1) Create an enum to specify the origination point of a call to afs_lookup_cell() and pass this value into that function in place of the "excl" parameter (which can be derived from it). There are six points of origination: - Cell preload through /proc/net/afs/cells - Root cell config through /proc/net/afs/rootcell - Lookup in dynamic root - Automount trigger - Direct mount with mount() syscall - Alias check where YFS tells us the cell name is different (2) Add an extra state into the afs_cell state machine to indicate a cell that's been initialised, but not yet looked up. This is separate from one that can be considered active and has been looked up at least once. (3) Make afs_lookup_cell() vary its behaviour more, depending on where it was called from: If called from preload or root cell config, DNS lookup will not happen until we definitely want to use the cell (dynroot mount, automount, direct mount or alias check). The cell will appear in /afs but stat() won't trigger DNS lookup. If the cell already exists, dynroot will not wait for the DNS lookup to complete. If the cell did not already exist, dynroot will wait. If called from automount, direct mount or alias check, it will wait for the DNS lookup to complete. (4) Make afs_lookup_cell() return an error if lookup failed in one way or another. We try to return -ENOENT if the DNS says the cell does not exist and -EDESTADDRREQ if we couldn't access the DNS.

afs: Use the per-peer app data provided by rxrpc

2025-03-10T09:47:15+00:00

Make use of the per-peer application data that rxrpc now allows the application to store on the rxrpc_peer struct to hold a back pointer to the afs_server record that peer represents an endpoint for. Then, when a call comes in to the AFS cache manager, this can be used to map it to the correct server record rather than having to use a UUID-to-server mapping table and having to do an additional lookup.

afs: Fix afs_atcell_get_link() to handle RCU pathwalk

2025-03-10T09:46:53+00:00

The ->get_link() method may be entered under RCU pathwalk conditions (in which case, the dentry pointer is NULL). This is not taken account of by afs_atcell_get_link() and lockdep will complain when it tries to lock an rwsem. Fix this by marking net->ws_cell as __rcu and using RCU access macros on it and by making afs_atcell_get_link() just return a pointer to the name in RCU pathwalk without taking net->cells_lock or a ref on the cell as RCU will protect the name storage (the cell is already freed via call_rcu()).

afs: Add rootcell checks

2025-01-10T13:54:07+00:00

Add some checks for the validity of the cell name. It's may get put into a symlink, so preclude it containing any slashes or "..". Also disallow starting/ending with a dot. This makes /afs/@cell/ as a symlink less of a security risk. Also disallow multiple setting of /proc/net/afs/rootcell for any given network namespace. Once set, the value may not be changed. This makes it easier to only create /afs/@cell and /afs/.@cell if there's a rootcell.

afs: Overhaul invalidation handling to better support RO volumes

2024-01-01T16:37:27+00:00

Overhaul the third party-induced invalidation handling, making use of the previously added volume-level event counters (cb_scrub and cb_ro_snapshot) that are now being parsed out of the VolSync record returned by the fileserver in many of its replies. This allows better handling of RO (and Backup) volumes. Since these are snapshot of a RW volume that are updated atomically simultantanously across all servers that host them, they only require a single callback promise for the entire volume. The currently upstream code assumes that RO volumes operate in the same manner as RW volumes, and that each file has its own individual callback - which means that it does a status fetch for *every* file in a RO volume, whether or not the volume got "released" (volume callback breaks can occur for other reasons too, such as the volumeserver taking ownership of a volume from a fileserver). To this end, make the following changes: (1) Change the meaning of the volume's cb_v_break counter so that it is now a hint that we need to issue a status fetch to work out the state of a volume. cb_v_break is incremented by volume break callbacks and by server initialisation callbacks. (2) Add a second counter, cb_v_check, to the afs_volume struct such that if this differs from cb_v_break, we need to do a check. When the check is complete, cb_v_check is advanced to what cb_v_break was at the start of the status fetch. (3) Move the list of mmap'd vnodes to the volume and trigger removal of PTEs that map to files on a volume break rather than on a server break. (4) When a server reinitialisation callback comes in, use the server-to-volume reverse mapping added in a preceding patch to iterate over all the volumes using that server and clear the volume callback promises for that server and the general volume promise as a whole to trigger reanalysis. (5) Replace the AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED flag with an AFS_NO_CB_PROMISE (TIME64_MIN) value in the cb_expires_at field, reducing the number of checks we need to make. (6) Change afs_check_validity() to quickly see if various event counters have been incremented or if the vnode or volume callback promise is due to expire/has expired without making any changes to the state. That is now left to afs_validate() as this may get more complicated in future as we may have to examine server records too. (7) Overhaul afs_validate() so that it does a single status fetch if we need to check the state of either the vnode or the volume - and do so under appropriate locking. The function does the following steps: (A) If the vnode/volume is no longer seen as valid, then we take the vnode validation lock and, if the volume promise has expired, the volume check lock also. The latter prevents redundant checks being made to find out if a new version of the volume got released. (B) If a previous RPC call found that the volsync changed unexpectedly or that a RO volume was updated, then we unmap all PTEs pointing to the file to stop mmap being used for access. (C) If the vnode is still seen to be of uncertain validity, then we perform an FS.FetchStatus RPC op to jointly update the volume status and the vnode status. This assessment is done as part of parsing the reply: If the RO volume creation timestamp advances, cb_ro_snapshot is incremented; if either the creation or update timestamps changes in an unexpected way, the cb_scrub counter is incremented If the Data Version returned doesn't match the copy we have locally, then we ask for the pagecache to be zapped. This takes care of handling RO update. (D) If cb_scrub differs between volume and vnode, the vnode's pagecache is zapped and the vnode's cb_scrub is updated unless the file is marked as having been deleted.

afs: Keep a record of the current fileserver endpoint state

2024-01-01T16:37:27+00:00

Keep a record of the current fileserver endpoint state, including the probe state, and replace it when a new probe is started rather than just squelching the old state and overwriting it. Clearance of the old state can cause a race if there's another thread also currently trying to communicate with that server. It appears that this race might be the culprit for some occasions where kafs complains about invalid data in the RPC reply because the rotation algorithm fell all the way through without actually issuing an RPC call and the error return got filled in from the probe state (which has a zero error recorded). Whatever happens to be in the caller's reply buffer is then taken as the response. Signed-off-by: David Howells cc: Marc Dionne cc: linux-afs@lists.infradead.org

afs: Mark address lists with configured priorities

2024-01-01T16:37:27+00:00

Add a field to each address in an address list (afs_addr_list struct) that records the current priority for that address according to the address preference table. We don't want to do this every time we use an address list, so the version number of the address preference table is recorded in the address list too and we only re-mark the list when we see the version change. These numbers are then displayed through /proc/net/afs/servers. Signed-off-by: David Howells cc: Marc Dionne cc: linux-afs@lists.infradead.org
