6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit b5782e2d462c028096f922abca46318cec890670 ]

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_or_null_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_or_null_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")

6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 4543a4d737944134a1394afe797622546fbcc98a ]

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.

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 1d78d56c43ef3768183e8370e7367b162700e049 ]

Fix the handling of folio_queue allocation failure in writeback by adding a
mempool and passing in gfp_t flags to the rolling buffer functions that
allocate memory, using the mempool if gfp != GFP_KERNEL.

This is then extended upwards and the gfp to be used for a request is stored
in the netfs_io_request struct and is then used for both requests and
subrequests, eliminating the sleeping loops there.

The failure caused:

    folio != NULL

6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

commit c51e89c5b5db3e1927738fad7cd18b66dde68aed upstream.

Fix the reading of symlinks from the cache in afs by making netfslib trim
the amount read down to i_size.  The problem is that afs sets the size of
the iterator to the size of the buffer (PAGE_SIZE) so that the cache can
round the read size up to the cache's DIO size.

Note that this also impacts the reading of AFS mountpoints as they're just
stored as symlinks with an odd file mode.

Link: https://patch.msgid.link/3912795.1789489319@warthog.procyon.org.uk
Fixes: c0410adf3da6 ("afs: Fix the locking used by afs_get_link()")
