When the preparation of a new subrequest for a read fails, if the
subrequest has already been added to the stream->subrequests list, it can't
simply be put and abandoned as the collector may see it. Also, if it
hasn't been queued yet, it has two outstanding refs that both need to be
put. Both DIO read and single-read dispatch fail at this; further, both
differ in the order they do things to the way buffered read works.
Fix cancellation of both DIO-read and single-read subrequests that failed
preparation by the following steps:
(1) Harmonise all three reads (buffered, dio, single) to queue the subreq
before prepping it.
(2) Make all three call netfs_queue_read() to do the queuing.
(3) Set NETFS_RREQ_ALL_QUEUED independently of the queuing as we don't
know the length of the subreq at this point.
(4) In all cases, set the error and NETFS_SREQ_FAILED flag on the subreq
and then call netfs_read_subreq_terminated() to deal with it. This
will pass responsibility off to the collector for dealing with it.
Fixes: e2d46f2ec332 ("netfs: Change the read result collector to only use one work item")

The list of subrequests attached to stream->subrequests is accessed without
locks by netfs_collect_read_results() and netfs_collect_write_results(),
and then they access subreq->flags without taking a barrier after getting
the subreq pointer from the list. Relatedly, the functions that build the
list don't use any sort of write barrier when constructing the list to make
sure that the NETFS_SREQ_IN_PROGRESS flag is perceived to be set first if
no lock is taken.
Fix this by:
(1) Add a new list_add_tail_release() function that uses a release barrier
to set the pointer to the new member of the list.
(2) Add a new list_first_entry_acquire() function that uses an acquire
barrier to read the pointer to the first member in a list (or return
NULL).
(3) Use list_add_tail_release() when adding a subreq to ->subrequests.
(4) Use list_first_entry_acquire() when initially accessing the front of
the list (when an item is removed, the pointer to the new front iterm
is obtained under the same lock).
Fixes: e2d46f2ec332 ("netfs: Change the read result collector to only use one work item")
Fixes: 288ace2f57c9 ("netfs: New writeback implementation")

Fixes: 4058f742105e ("netfs: Keep track of the actual remote file size")
Fixes: 100ccd18bb41 ("netfs: Optimise away reads above the point at which there can be no data")
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260414082004.3756080-1-dhowells%40redhat.com

Fix the update of the zero point[*] by netfs_release_folio() when there is
uncommitted data in the pagecache beyond the folio being released but the
on-server EOF is in this folio (ie. i_size > remote_i_size). The update
needs to limit zero_point to remote_i_size, not i_size as i_size is a local
phenomenon reflecting updates made locally to the pagecache, not stuff
written to the server. remote_i_size tracks the server's i_size.
[*] The zero point is the file position from which we can assume that the
server will just return zeros, so we can avoid generating reads.
Note that netfs_invalidate_folio() probably doesn't need fixing as
zero_point should be updated by setattr after truncation or fallocate.
Found with:
fsx -q -N 1000000 -p 10000 -o 128000 -l 600000 \
/xfstest.test/junk --replay-ops=junk.fsxops
using the following as junk.fsxops:
truncate 0x0 0x1bbae 0x82864
write 0x3ef2e 0xf9c8 0x1bbae
write 0x67e05 0xcb5a 0x4e8f6
mapread 0x57781 0x85b6 0x7495f
copy_range 0x5d3d 0x10329 0x54fac 0x7495f
write 0x64710 0x1c2b 0x7495f
mapread 0x64000 0x1000 0x7495f
on cifs with the default cache option.
It shows read-gaps on folio 0x64 failing with a short read (ie. it hits
EOF) if the FMODE_READ check is commented out in netfs_perform_write():
if (//(file->f_mode & FMODE_READ) ||
netfs_is_cache_enabled(ctx)) {
and no fscache. This was initially found with the generic/522 xfstest.

The race sequence:
1. Read completes -> netfs_read_collection() runs
2. netfs_wake_rreq_flag(rreq, NETFS_RREQ_IN_PROGRESS, ...)
3. netfs_wait_for_read() returns -EFAULT to netfs_write_begin()
4. The netfs_unlock_abandoned_read_pages() unlocks the folio
5. netfs_write_begin() calls folio_unlock(folio) -> VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO()
The key reason of the issue that netfs_unlock_abandoned_read_pages()
doesn't check the flag NETFS_RREQ_NO_UNLOCK_FOLIO and executes
folio_unlock() unconditionally. This patch implements in
netfs_unlock_abandoned_read_pages() logic similar to
netfs_unlock_read_folio().

In netfs_extract_user_iter(), if iov_iter_extract_pages() failed to
extract user pages, bail out on -ENOMEM, otherwise return the error
code only if @npages == 0, allowing short DIO reads and writes to be
issued.
This fixes mmapstress02 from LTP tests against CIFS.

If a streaming write is made, this will leave the relevant modified folio
in a not-uptodate, but dirty state with a netfs_folio struct hung off of
folio->private indicating the dirty range. Subsequently truncating the
file such that the dirty data in the folio is removed, but the first part
of the folio theoretically remains will cause the netfs_folio struct to be
discarded... but will leave the dirty flag set.
If the folio is then read via mmap(), netfs_read_folio() will see that the
page is dirty and jump to netfs_read_gaps() to fill in the missing bits.
netfs_read_gaps(), however, expects there to be a netfs_folio struct
present and can oops because truncate removed it.
Fix this by calling folio_cancel_dirty() in netfs_invalidate_folio() in the
event that all the dirty data in the folio is erased (as nfs does).
Also add some tracepoints to log modifications to a dirty page.
This can be reproduced with something like:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/xfstest.test/foo bs=1M count=1
umount /xfstest.test
mount /xfstest.test
xfs_io -c "w 0xbbbf 0xf96c" \
-c "truncate 0xbbbf" \
-c "mmap -r 0xb000 0x11000" \
-c "mr 0xb000 0x11000" \
/xfstest.test/foo
with fscaching disabled (otherwise streaming writes are suppressed) and a
change to netfs_perform_write() to disallow streaming writes if the fd is
open O_RDWR:
if (//(file->f_mode & FMODE_READ) || <--- comment this out
netfs_is_cache_enabled(ctx)) {
It should be reproducible even without this change, but if prevents the
above trivial xfs_io command from reproducing it.
Note that the initial dd is important: the file must start out sufficiently
large that the zero-point logic doesn't just clear the gaps because it
knows there's nothing in the file to read yet. Unmounting and mounting is
needed to clear the pagecache (there are other ways to do that that may
also work).
This was initially reproduced with the generic/522 xfstest on some patches
that remove the FMODE_READ restriction.

Change netfs_perform_write() to keep the netfs_folio trace value in a
variable and emit it later to make it easier to choose the value displayed.
This is a prerequisite for a subsequent patch.

In order to avoid reading whilst writing, netfslib will allow "streaming
writes" in which dirty data is stored directly into folios without reading
them first. Such folios are marked dirty but may not be marked uptodate.
If a folio is entirely written by a streaming write, uptodate will be set,
otherwise it will have a netfs_folio struct attached to ->private recording
the dirty region.
In the event that a partially written streaming write page is to be
overwritten entirely by a single write(), netfs_perform_write() will try to
copy over it, but doesn't discard the netfs_folio if it succeeds; further,
it doesn't correctly handle a partial copy that overwrites some of the
dirty data.
Fix this by the following:
(1) If the folio is successfully overwritten, free the netfs_folio struct
before marking the page uptodate.
(2) If the copy to the folio partially fails, but short of the dirty data,
just ignore the copy.
(3) If the copy partially fails and overwrites some of the dirty data,
accept the copy, update the netfs_folio struct to record the new data.
If the folio is now filled, free the netfs_folio and set uptodate,
otherwise return a partial write.

In netfs_perform_write(), "write streaming" (the caching of dirty data in
dirty but !uptodate folios) is performed to avoid the need to read data
that is just going to get immediately overwritten. However, this is/will
be disabled in three circumstances: if the fd is open O_RDWR, if fscache is
in use (as we need to round out the blocks for DIO) or if content
encryption is enabled (again for rounding out purposes).
The idea behind disabling it if the fd is open O_RDWR is that we'd need to
flush the write-streaming page before we could read the data, particularly
through mmap. But netfs now fills in the gaps if ->read_folio() is called
on the page, so that is unnecessary. Further, this doesn't actually work
if a separate fd is open for reading.
Fix this by removing the check for O_RDWR, thereby allowing streaming
writes even when we might read.
This caused a number of problems with the generic/522 xfstest, but those
are now fixed.

Fix netfs_read_gaps() to release the sink page it uses after waiting for
the request to complete. The way the sink page is used is that an
ITER_BVEC-class iterator is created that has the gaps from the target folio
at either end, but has the sink page tiled over the middle so that a single
read op can fill in both gaps.
The bug was found by KASAN detecting a UAF on the generic/075 xfstest in
the cifsd kernel thread that handles reception of data from the TCP socket:

netfs_unlock_abandoned_read_pages(rreq) accesses the index of the folios it
is wanting to unlock and compares that to rreq->no_unlock_folio so that it
doesn't unlock a folio being read for netfs_perform_write() or
netfs_write_begin().
However, given that netfs_unlock_abandoned_read_pages() is called _after_
NETFS_RREQ_IN_PROGRESS is cleared, the one folio that it's not allowed to
dereference is the one specified by ->no_unlock_folio as ownership
immediately reverts to the caller.
Fix this by storing the folio pointer instead and using that rather than
the index. Also fix netfs_unlock_read_folio() where the same applies.

In netfs_extract_user_iter(), if it's given a zero-length iterator, it will
fall through the loop without setting ret, and so the error handling
behaviour will be undefined, depending on whether ret happens to be
negative. The value of ret then propagates back up the callstack.
Fix this by presetting ret to 0.

In netfs_invalidate_folio(), if the region of a partial invalidation
overlaps the front (but not all) of a dirty write cached in a streaming
write page (dirty, but not uptodate, with the dirty region tracked by a
netfs_folio struct), the function modifies the dirty region - but
incorrectly as it moves the region forward by setting the start to the
start, not the end, of the invalidation region.
Fix this by setting finfo->dirty_offset to the end of the invalidation
region (iend).

Under some circumstances, netfs_perform_write() doesn't correctly
manipulate folio->private between NULL, NETFS_FOLIO_COPY_TO_CACHE, pointing
to a group and pointing to a netfs_folio struct, leading to potential
multiple attachments of private data with associated folio ref leaks and
also leaks of netfs_folio structs or netfs_group refs.
Fix this by consolidating the place at which a folio is marked uptodate in
one place and having that look at what's attached to folio->private and
decide how to clean it up and then set the new group. Also, the content
shouldn't be flushed if group is NULL, even if a group is specified in the
netfs_group parameter, as that would be the case for a new folio. A
filesystem should always specify netfs_group or never specify netfs_group.
The Sashiko auto-review tool noted that it was theoretically possible that
the fpos >= ctx->zero_point section might leak if it modified a streaming
write folio. This is unlikely, but with a network filesystem, third party
changes can happen. It also pointed out that __netfs_set_group() would
leak if called multiple times on the same folio from the "whole folio
modify section".

Fix netfs_read_folio() to wait for an ongoing writeback to complete so that
it can trust the dirty flag and whatever is attached to folio->private
(folio->private may get cleaned up by the collector before it clears the
writeback flag).
Fixes: ee4cdf7ba857 ("netfs: Speed up buffered reading")

Fix netfs_write_single() and afs_single_writepages() to better handle a
write that would be skipped due to lock contention and WB_SYNC_NONE by
returning 1 from netfs_write_single() if it skipped and making
afs_single_writepages() skip also.
This is really only theoretical for directories in netfs_write_single() as
the only path to that is through afs_single_writepages() that takes the
->validate_lock around it, thereby serialising it.

The afs filesystem in the kernel doesn't do locking correctly for symbolic
links. There are a number of problems:
(1) It doesn't do any locking around afs_read_single() to prevent races
between multiple ->get_link() calls, thereby allowing the possibility
of leaks.
(2) It doesn't use RCU barriering when accessing the buffer pointers
during RCU pathwalk.
(3) It can race with another thread updating the contents of the symlink
if a third party updated it on the server.
Fix this by the following means:
(0) Move symlink handling into its own file as this makes it more
complicated.
(1) Take the validate_lock around afs_read_single() to prevent races
between multiple ->get_link() calls.
(2) Keep a separate copy of the symlink contents with an rcu_head. This
is always going to be a lot smaller than a page, so it can be
kmalloc'd and save quite a bit of memory. It also needs a refcount
for non-RCU pathwalk.
(3) Split the symlink read and write-to-cache routines in afs from those
for directories.
(4) Discard the I/O buffer as soon as the write-to-cache completes as this
is a full page (plus a folio_queue).
(5) If there's no cache, discard the I/O buffer immediately after reading
and copying if there is no cache.
Fixes: eae9e78951bb ("afs: Use netfslib for symlinks, allowing them to be cached")
Fixes: 6698c02d64b2 ("afs: Locally initialise the contents of a new symlink on creation")
