[ Upstream commit 0ece614a52bc9d219b839a6a29282b30d10e0c48 ]

In cachefiles_check_volume_xattr(), the error returned by vfs_getxattr()
is not passed to ret, so it ends up returning -ESTALE, which leads to an
endless loop as follows:

cachefiles_acquire_volume
retry:
  ret = cachefiles_check_volume_xattr
    ret = -ESTALE
    xlen = vfs_getxattr // return -EIO
    // The ret is not updated when xlen &lt; 0, so -ESTALE is returned.
    return ret
  // Supposed to jump out of the loop at this judgement.
  if (ret != -ESTALE)
      goto error_dir;
  cachefiles_bury_object
    //  EIO causes rename failure
  goto retry;

Hence propagate the error returned by vfs_getxattr() to avoid the above
issue. Do the same in cachefiles_check_auxdata().

<id>urn:sha1:413a4a6b0b5553f2423d210f65e98c211b99c3f8</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Store the volume coherency data in an xattr and check it when we rebind the
volume.  If it doesn't match the cache volume is moved to the graveyard and
rebuilt anew.

<id>urn:sha1:72b957856b0c09eee542afcff29705dd0adda654</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

When interacting with extended attributes the vfs verifies that the
caller is privileged over the inode with which the extended attribute is
associated. For posix access and posix default extended attributes a uid
or gid can be stored on-disk. Let the functions handle posix extended
attributes on idmapped mounts. If the inode is accessed through an
idmapped mount we need to map it according to the mount's user
namespace. Afterwards the checks are identical to non-idmapped mounts.
This has no effect for e.g. security xattrs since they don't store uids
or gids and don't perform permission checks on them like posix acls do.

<title>cachefiles: Fix an assertion failure when trying to update a failed object</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e6bc06faf64a83384cc0abc537df954c9d3ff942</id>
<content type='text'>
If cachefiles gets an error other then ENOENT when trying to look up an
object in the cache (in this case, EACCES), the object state machine will
eventually transition to the DROP_OBJECT state.

This state invokes fscache_drop_object() which tries to sync the auxiliary
data with the cache (this is done lazily since commit 402cb8dda949d) on an
incomplete cache object struct.

The problem comes when cachefiles_update_object_xattr() is called to
rewrite the xattr holding the data.  There's an assertion there that the
cache object points to a dentry as we're going to update its xattr.  The
assertion trips, however, as dentry didn't get set.

Fix the problem by skipping the update in cachefiles if the object doesn't
refer to a dentry.  A better way to do it could be to skip the update from
the DROP_OBJECT state handler in fscache, but that might deny the cache the
opportunity to update intermediate state.

If this error occurs, the kernel log includes lines that look like the
following:

 CacheFiles: Lookup failed error -13
 CacheFiles:
 CacheFiles: Assertion failed
 ------------[ cut here ]------------
 kernel BUG at fs/cachefiles/xattr.c:138!

Note that there are actually two issues here: (1) EACCES happened on a
cache object and (2) an oops occurred.  I think that the second is a
consequence of the first (it certainly looks like it ought to be).  This
patch only deals with the second.
