afs: Fix fileserver rotation

Fix the fileserver rotation so that it doesn't use RTT as the basis for
deciding which server and address to use as this doesn't necessarily give a
good indication of the best path. Instead, use the configurable preference
list in conjunction with whatever probes have succeeded at the time of
looking.

To this end, make the following changes:

(1) Keep an array of "server states" to track what addresses we've tried
on each server and move the waitqueue entries there that we'll need
for probing.

(2) Each afs_server_state struct is made to pin the corresponding server's
endpoint state rather than the afs_operation struct carrying a pin on
the server we're currently looking at.

(3) Drop the server list preference; we now always rescan the server list.

(4) afs_wait_for_probes() now uses the server state list to guide it in
what it waits for (and to provide the waitqueue entries) and returns
an indication of whether we'd got a response, run out of responsive
addresses or the endpoint state had been superseded and we need to
restart the iteration.

(5) Call afs_get_address_preferences*() occasionally to refresh the
preference values.

(6) When picking a server, scan the addresses of the servers for which we
have as-yet untested communications, looking for the highest priority
one and use that instead of trying all the addresses for a particular
server in ascending-RTT order.

(7) When a Busy or Offline state is seen across all available servers, do
a short sleep.

(8) If we detect that we accessed a future RO volume version whilst it is
undergoing replication, reissue the op against the older version until
at least half of the servers are replicated.

(9) Whilst RO replication is ongoing, increase the frequency of Volume
Location server checks for that volume to every ten minutes instead of
hourly.

Also add a tracepoint to track progress through the rotation algorithm.

afs: Keep a record of the current fileserver endpoint state

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.

rxrpc, afs: Allow afs to pin rxrpc_peer objects

Change rxrpc's API such that:

(1) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer(), is provided to look up an
rxrpc_peer record for a remote address and a corresponding function,
rxrpc_kernel_put_peer(), is provided to dispose of it again.

(2) When setting up a call, the rxrpc_peer object used during a call is
now passed in rather than being set up by rxrpc_connect_call(). For
afs, this meenat passing it to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() rather than
the full address (the service ID then has to be passed in as a
separate parameter).

(3) A new function, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr(), is added so that afs can
get a pointer to the transport address for display purposed, and
another, rxrpc_kernel_remote_srx(), to gain a pointer to the full
rxrpc address.

(4) The function to retrieve the RTT from a call, rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt(),
is then altered to take a peer. This now returns the RTT or -1 if
there are insufficient samples.

(5) Rename rxrpc_kernel_get_peer() to rxrpc_kernel_call_get_peer().

(6) Provide a new function, rxrpc_kernel_get_peer(), to get a ref on a
peer the caller already has.

This allows the afs filesystem to pin the rxrpc_peer records that it is
using, allowing faster lookups and pointer comparisons rather than
comparing sockaddr_rxrpc contents. It also makes it easier to get hold of
the RTT. The following changes are made to afs:

(1) The addr_list struct's addrs[] elements now hold a peer struct pointer
and a service ID rather than a sockaddr_rxrpc.

(2) When displaying the transport address, rxrpc_kernel_remote_addr() is
used.

(3) The port arg is removed from afs_alloc_addrlist() since it's always
overridden.

(4) afs_merge_fs_addr4() and afs_merge_fs_addr6() do peer lookup and may
now return an error that must be handled.

(5) afs_find_server() now takes a peer pointer to specify the address.

(6) afs_find_server(), afs_compare_fs_alists() and afs_merge_fs_addr[46]{}
now do peer pointer comparison rather than address comparison.

afs: Fix lost servers_outstanding count

The afs_fs_probe_dispatcher() work function is passed a count on
net->servers_outstanding when it is scheduled (which may come via its
timer). This is passed back to the work_item, passed to the timer or
dropped at the end of the dispatcher function.

But, at the top of the dispatcher function, there are two checks which
skip the rest of the function: if the network namespace is being destroyed
or if there are no fileservers to probe. These two return paths, however,
do not drop the count passed to the dispatcher, and so, sometimes, the
destruction of a network namespace, such as induced by rmmod of the kafs
module, may get stuck in afs_purge_servers(), waiting for
net->servers_outstanding to become zero.

Fix this by adding the missing decrements in afs_fs_probe_dispatcher().

# ca57f022 28-Nov-2022 David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

afs: Fix fileserver probe RTT handling

The fileserver probing code attempts to work out the best fileserver to
use for a volume by retrieving the RTT calculated by AF_RXRPC for the
probe call sent to each server and comparing them. Sometimes, however,
no RTT estimate is available and rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt() returns false,
leading good fileservers to be given an RTT of UINT_MAX and thus causing
the rotation algorithm to ignore them.

Fix afs_select_fileserver() to ignore rxrpc_kernel_get_srtt()'s return
value and just take the estimated RTT it provides - which will be capped
at 1 second.

afs: Fix corruption in reads at fpos 2G-4G from an OpenAFS server

AFS-3 has two data fetch RPC variants, FS.FetchData and FS.FetchData64, and
Linux's afs client switches between them when talking to a non-YFS server
if the read size, the file position or the sum of the two have the upper 32
bits set of the 64-bit value.

This is a problem, however, since the file position and length fields of
FS.FetchData are *signed* 32-bit values.

Fix this by capturing the capability bits obtained from the fileserver when
it's sent an FS.GetCapabilities RPC, rather than just discarding them, and
then picking out the VICED_CAPABILITY_64BITFILES flag. This can then be
used to decide whether to use FS.FetchData or FS.FetchData64 - and also
FS.StoreData or FS.StoreData64 - rather than using upper_32_bits() to
switch on the parameter values.

This capabilities flag could also be used to limit the maximum size of the
file, but all servers must be checked for that.

Note that the issue does not exist with FS.StoreData - that uses *unsigned*
32-bit values. It's also not a problem with Auristor servers as its
YFS.FetchData64 op uses unsigned 64-bit values.

This can be tested by cloning a git repo through an OpenAFS client to an
OpenAFS server and then doing "git status" on it from a Linux afs
client[1]. Provided the clone has a pack file that's in the 2G-4G range,
the git status will show errors like:

error: packfile .git/objects/pack/pack-5e813c51d12b6847bbc0fcd97c2bca66da50079c.pack does not match index
error: packfile .git/objects/pack/pack-5e813c51d12b6847bbc0fcd97c2bca66da50079c.pack does not match index

This can be observed in the server's FileLog with something like the
following appearing:

Sun Aug 29 19:31:39 2021 SRXAFS_FetchData, Fid = 2303380852.491776.3263114, Host 192.168.11.201:7001, Id 1001

afs: Fix hang on rmmod due to outstanding timer

The fileserver probe timer, net->fs_probe_timer, isn't cancelled when
the kafs module is being removed and so the count it holds on
net->servers_outstanding doesn't get dropped..

This causes rmmod to wait forever. The hung process shows a stack like:

afs_purge_servers+0x1b5/0x23c [kafs]
afs_net_exit+0x44/0x6e [kafs]
ops_exit_list+0x72/0x93
unregister_pernet_operations+0x14c/0x1ba
unregister_pernet_subsys+0x1d/0x2a
afs_exit+0x29/0x6f [kafs]

do_syscall_64+0x51/0x95
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

Fix this by:

(1) Attempting to cancel the probe timer and, if successful, drop the
count that the timer was holding.

(2) Make the timer function just drop the count and not schedule the
prober if the afs portion of net namespace is being destroyed.

Also, whilst we're at it, make the following changes:

(3) Initialise net->servers_outstanding to 1 and decrement it before
waiting on it so that it doesn't generate wake up events by being
decremented to 0 until we're cleaning up.

(4) Switch the atomic_dec() on ->servers_outstanding for ->fs_timer in
afs_purge_servers() to use the helper function for that.

afs: Actively poll fileservers to maintain NAT or firewall openings

When an AFS client accesses a file, it receives a limited-duration callback
promise that the server will notify it if another client changes a file.
This callback duration can be a few hours in length.

If a client mounts a volume and then an application prevents it from being
unmounted, say by chdir'ing into it, but then does nothing for some time,
the rxrpc_peer record will expire and rxrpc-level keepalive will cease.

If there is NAT or a firewall between the client and the server, the route
back for the server may close after a comparatively short duration, meaning
that attempts by the server to notify the client may then bounce.

The client, however, may (so far as it knows) still have a valid unexpired
promise and will then rely on its cached data and will not see changes made
on the server by a third party until it incidentally rechecks the status or
the promise needs renewal.

To deal with this, the client needs to regularly probe the server. This
has two effects: firstly, it keeps a route open back for the server, and
secondly, it causes the server to disgorge any notifications that got
queued up because they couldn't be sent.

Fix this by adding a mechanism to emit regular probes.

Two levels of probing are made available: Under normal circumstances the
'slow' queue will be used for a fileserver - this just probes the preferred
address once every 5 mins or so; however, if server fails to respond to any
probes, the server will shift to the 'fast' queue from which all its
interfaces will be probed every 30s. When it finally responds, the record
will switch back to the slow queue.

Further notes:

(1) Probing is now no longer driven from the fileserver rotation
algorithm.

(2) Probes are dispatched to all interfaces on a fileserver when that an
afs_server object is set up to record it.

(3) The afs_server object is removed from the probe queues when we start
to probe it. afs_is_probing_server() returns true if it's not listed
- ie. it's undergoing probing.

(4) The afs_server object is added back on to the probe queue when the
final outstanding probe completes, but the probed_at time is set when
we're about to launch a probe so that it's not dependent on the probe
duration.

(5) The timer and the work item added for this must be handed a count on
net->servers_outstanding, which they hand on or release. This makes
sure that network namespace cleanup waits for them.

afs: Split the usage count on struct afs_server

Split the usage count on the afs_server struct to have an active count that
registers who's actually using it separately from the reference count on
the object.

This allows a future patch to dispatch polling probes without advancing the
"unuse" time into the future each time we emit a probe, which would
otherwise prevent unused server records from expiring.

Included in this:

(1) The latter part of afs_destroy_server() in which the RCU destruction
of afs_server objects is invoked and the outstanding server count is
decremented is split out into __afs_put_server().

(2) afs_put_server() now calls __afs_put_server() rather then setting the
management timer.

(3) The calls begun by afs_fs_give_up_all_callbacks() and
afs_fs_get_capabilities() can now take a ref on the server record, so
afs_destroy_server() can just drop its ref and needn't wait for the
completion of these calls. They'll put the ref when they're done.

(4) Because of (3), afs_fs_probe_done() no longer needs to wake up
afs_destroy_server() with server->probe_outstanding.

(5) afs_gc_servers can be simplified. It only needs to check if
server->active is 0 rather than playing games with the refcount.

(6) afs_manage_servers() can propose a server for gc if usage == 0 rather
than if ref == 1. The gc is effected by (5).

rxrpc: Fix the excessive initial retransmission timeout

rxrpc currently uses a fixed 4s retransmission timeout until the RTT is
sufficiently sampled. This can cause problems with some fileservers with
calls to the cache manager in the afs filesystem being dropped from the
fileserver because a packet goes missing and the retransmission timeout is
greater than the call expiry timeout.

Fix this by:

(1) Copying the RTT/RTO calculation code from Linux's TCP implementation
and altering it to fit rxrpc.

(2) Altering the various users of the RTT to make use of the new SRTT
value.

(3) Replacing the use of rxrpc_resend_timeout to use the calculated RTO
value instead (which is needed in jiffies), along with a backoff.

Notes:

(1) rxrpc provides RTT samples by matching the serial numbers on outgoing
DATA packets that have the RXRPC_REQUEST_ACK set and PING ACK packets
against the reference serial number in incoming REQUESTED ACK and
PING-RESPONSE ACK packets.

(2) Each packet that is transmitted on an rxrpc connection gets a new
per-connection serial number, even for retransmissions, so an ACK can
be cross-referenced to a specific trigger packet. This allows RTT
information to be drawn from retransmitted DATA packets also.

(3) rxrpc maintains the RTT/RTO state on the rxrpc_peer record rather than
on an rxrpc_call because many RPC calls won't live long enough to
generate more than one sample.

(4) The calculated SRTT value is in units of 8ths of a microsecond rather
than nanoseconds.

The (S)RTT and RTO values are displayed in /proc/net/rxrpc/peers.

afs: Fix unpinned address list during probing

Replace the afs_call::reply[] array with a bunch of typed members so that
the compiler can use type-checking on them. It's also easier for the eye
to see what's going on.

afs: Split wait from afs_make_call()

Split the call to afs_wait_for_call_to_complete() from afs_make_call() to
make it easier to handle asynchronous calls and to make it easier to
convert a synchronous call to an asynchronous one in future, for instance
when someone tries to interrupt an operation by pressing Ctrl-C.

afs: Fix missing net error handling

kAFS can be given certain network errors (EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and
ERFKILL) that it doesn't handle in its server/address rotation algorithms.
They cause the probing and rotation to abort immediately rather than
rotating.

Fix this by:

(1) Abstracting out the error prioritisation from the VL and FS rotation
algorithms into a common function and expand usage into the server
probing code.

When multiple errors are available, this code selects the one we'd
prefer to return.

(2) Add handling for EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and ERFKILL.

# 3bf0fb6f 19-Oct-2018 David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

afs: Probe multiple fileservers simultaneously

Send probes to all the unprobed fileservers in a fileserver list on all
addresses simultaneously in an attempt to find out the fastest route whilst
not getting stuck for 20s on any server or address that we don't get a
reply from.

This alleviates the problem whereby attempting to access a new server can
take a long time because the rotation algorithm ends up rotating through
all servers and addresses until it finds one that responds.
