<content type='text'>
There's a problem in 9p's interaction with netfslib whereby a crash occurs
because the 9p_fid structs get forcibly destroyed during client teardown
(without paying attention to their refcounts) before netfslib has finished
with them.  However, it's not a simple case of deferring the clunking that
p9_fid_put() does as that requires the p9_client record to still be
present.

The problem is that netfslib has to unlock pages and clear the IN_PROGRESS
flag before destroying the objects involved - including the fid - and, in
any case, nothing checks to see if writeback completed barring looking at
the page flags.

Fix this by keeping a count of outstanding I/O requests (of any type) and
waiting for it to quiesce during inode eviction.

Fix netfs_perform_write() to set BDP_ASYNC if IOCB_NOWAIT is set rather
than if IOCB_SYNC is not set.  It reflects asynchronicity in the sense of
not waiting rather than synchronicity in the sense of not returning until
the op is complete.

Without this, generic/590 fails on cifs in strict caching mode with a
complaint that one of the writes fails with EAGAIN.  The test can be
distilled down to:

        mount -t cifs /my/share /mnt -ostuff
        xfs_io -i -c 'falloc 0 8191M -c fsync -f /mnt/file
        xfs_io -i -c 'pwrite -b 1M -W 0 8191M' /mnt/file

<title>netfs: Fix AIO error handling when doing write-through</title>

If an error occurs whilst we're doing an AIO write in write-through mode,
we may end up calling -&gt;ki_complete() *and* returning an error from
-&gt;write_iter().  This can result in either a UAF (the -&gt;ki_complete() func
pointer may get overwritten, for example) or a refcount underflow in
io_submit() as -&gt;ki_complete is called twice.

Fix this by making netfs_end_writethrough() - and thus
netfs_perform_write() - unconditionally return -EIOCBQUEUED if we're doing
an AIO write and wait for completion if we're not.

<title>netfs: Fix io_uring based write-through</title>

<id>9b038d004ce95551cb35381c49fe896c5bc11ffe</id>

This can be triggered by mounting a cifs filesystem with a cache=strict
mount option and then, using the fsx program from xfstests, doing:

        ltp/fsx -A -d -N 1000 -S 11463 -P /tmp /cifs-mount/foo \
          --replay-ops=gen112-fsxops

Where gen112-fsxops holds:

        fallocate 0x6be7 0x8fc5 0x377d3
        copy_range 0x9c71 0x77e8 0x2edaf 0x377d3
        write 0x2776d 0x8f65 0x377d3

The problem is that netfs_io_request::len is being used for two purposes
and ends up getting set to the amount of data we transferred, not the
amount of data the caller asked to be transferred (for various reasons,
such as mmap'd writes, we might end up rounding out the data written to the
server to include the entire folio at each end).

Fix this by keeping the amount we were asked to write in -&gt;len and using
-&gt;submitted to track what we issued ops for.  Then, when we come to calling
-&gt;ki_complete(), -&gt;len is the right size.

This also required netfs_cleanup_dio_write() to change since we're no
longer advancing wreq-&gt;len.  Use wreq-&gt;transferred instead as we might have
done a short read.

With this, the generic/112 xfstest passes if cifs is forced to put all
non-DIO opens into write-through mode.

cinode-&gt;lock_sem.

Make the cifs filesystem use netfslib to handle reading and writing on
behalf of cifs.  The changes include:

 (1) Various read_iter/write_iter type functions are turned into wrappers
     around netfslib API functions or are pointed directly at those
     functions:

	cifs_file_direct{,_nobrl}_ops switch to use
	netfs_unbuffered_read_iter and netfs_unbuffered_write_iter.

Large pieces of code that will be removed are #if'd out and will be removed
in subsequent patches.

[?] Why does cifs mark the page dirty in the destination buffer of a DIO
    read?  Should that happen automatically?  Does netfs need to do that?

<title>cifs: Implement netfslib hooks</title>

Provide implementation of the netfslib hooks that will be used by netfslib
to ask cifs to set up and perform operations.  Of particular note are

 (*) cifs_clamp_length() - This is used to negotiate the size of the next
     subrequest in a read request, taking into account the credit available
     and the rsize.  The credits are attached to the subrequest.

 (*) cifs_req_issue_read() - This is used to issue a subrequest that has
     been set up and clamped.

 (*) cifs_prepare_write() - This prepares to fill a subrequest by picking a
     channel, reopening the file and requesting credits so that we can set
     the maximum size of the subrequest and also sets the maximum number of
     segments if we're doing RDMA.

 (*) cifs_issue_write() - This releases any unneeded credits and issues an
     asynchronous data write for the contiguous slice of file covered by
     the subrequest.  This should possibly be folded in to all
     -&gt;async_writev() ops and that called directly.

 (*) cifs_begin_writeback() - This gets the cached writable handle through
     which we do writeback (this does not affect writethrough, unbuffered
     or direct writes).

At this point, cifs is not wired up to actually *use* netfslib; that will
be done in a subsequent patch.

Use a hook in the new writeback code's retry algorithm to rotate the keys
once all the outstanding subreqs have failed rather than doing it
separately on each subreq.
