fscache: fix OOB Read in __fscache_acquire_volume

The type of a->key[0] is char in fscache_volume_same(). If the length
of cache volume key is greater than 127, the value of a->key[0] is less
than 0. In this case, klen becomes much larger than 255 after type
conversion, because the type of klen is size_t. As a result, memcmp()
is read out of bounds.

This causes a slab-out-of-bounds Read in __fscache_acquire_volume(), as
reported by Syzbot.

Fix this by changing the type of the stored key to "u8 *" rather than
"char *" (it isn't a simple string anyway). Also put in a check that
the volume name doesn't exceed NAME_MAX.

fscache: Fix invalidation/lookup race

If an NFS file is opened for writing and closed, fscache_invalidate() will
be asked to invalidate the file - however, if the cookie is in the
LOOKING_UP state (or the CREATING state), then request to invalidate
doesn't get recorded for fscache_cookie_state_machine() to do something
with.

Fix this by making __fscache_invalidate() set a flag if it sees the cookie
is in the LOOKING_UP state to indicate that we need to go to invalidation.
Note that this requires a count on the n_accesses counter for the state
machine, which that will release when it's done.

fscache_cookie_state_machine() then shifts to the INVALIDATING state if it
sees the flag.

Without this, an nfs file can get corrupted if it gets modified locally and
then read locally as the cache contents may not get updated.

cachefiles: notify the user daemon when looking up cookie

Fscache/CacheFiles used to serve as a local cache for a remote
networking fs. A new on-demand read mode will be introduced for
CacheFiles, which can boost the scenario where on-demand read semantics
are needed, e.g. container image distribution.

The essential difference between these two modes is seen when a cache
miss occurs: In the original mode, the netfs will fetch the data from
the remote server and then write it to the cache file; in on-demand
read mode, fetching the data and writing it into the cache is delegated
to a user daemon.

As the first step, notify the user daemon when looking up cookie. In
this case, an anonymous fd is sent to the user daemon, through which the
user daemon can write the fetched data to the cache file. Since the user
daemon may move the anonymous fd around, e.g. through dup(), an object
ID uniquely identifying the cache file is also attached.

Also add one advisory flag (FSCACHE_ADV_WANT_CACHE_SIZE) suggesting that
the cache file size shall be retrieved at runtime. This helps the
scenario where one cache file contains multiple netfs files, e.g. for
the purpose of deduplication. In this case, netfs itself has no idea the
size of the cache file, whilst the user daemon should give the hint on
it.

fscache: Add a comment explaining how page-release optimisation works

Add a comment into fscache_note_page_release() to explain how the
page-release optimisation logic works[1]. It's not entirely obvious as it
has nothing to do with whether or not the netfs file contains data.

FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ is set if we have no data in the cache yet
(ie. the backing file lookup was negative, the file is 0 length or the
cookie got invalidated). It means that we have no data in the cache, not
that the file is necessarily empty on the server.

FSCACHE_COOKIE_HAVE_DATA is set once we've stored data in the backing file.
From that point on, we have data we *could* read - however, it's covered by
pages in the netfs pagecache until at such time one of those covering pages
is released.

So if we've written data to the cache (HAVE_DATA) and there wasn't any data
in the cache when we started (NO_DATA_TO_READ), it may no longer be true
that we can skip reading from the cache.

Read skipping is done by cachefiles_prepare_read().

Note that tracking is not done on a per-page basis, but only on a per-file
basis.

nfs: Implement cache I/O by accessing the cache directly

Move NFS to using fscache DIO API instead of the old upstream I/O API as
that has been removed. This is a stopgap solution as the intention is that
at sometime in the future, the cache will move to using larger blocks and
won't be able to store individual pages in order to deal with the potential
for data corruption due to the backing filesystem being able insert/remove
bridging blocks of zeros into its extent list[1].

NFS then reads and writes cache pages synchronously and one page at a time.

The preferred change would be to use the netfs lib, but the new I/O API can
be used directly. It's just that as the cache now needs to track data for
itself, caching blocks may exceed page size...

This code is somewhat borrowed from my "fallback I/O" patchset[2].

vfs, fscache: Implement pinning of cache usage for writeback

Cachefiles has a problem in that it needs to keep the backing file for a
cookie open whilst there are local modifications pending that need to be
written to it. However, we don't want to keep the file open indefinitely,
as that causes EMFILE/ENFILE/ENOMEM problems.

Reopening the cache file, however, is a problem if this is being done due
to writeback triggered by exit(). Some filesystems will oops if we try to
open a file in that context because they want to access current->fs or
other resources that have already been dismantled.

To get around this, I added the following:

(1) An inode flag, I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB, to be set on a network filesystem
inode to indicate that we have a usage count on the cookie caching
that inode.

(2) A flag in struct writeback_control, unpinned_fscache_wb, that is set
when __writeback_single_inode() clears the last dirty page from
i_pages - at which point it clears I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and sets this
flag.

This has to be done here so that clearing I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB can be
done atomically with the check of PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY that clears
I_DIRTY_PAGES.

(3) A function, fscache_set_page_dirty(), which if it is not set, sets
I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and calls fscache_use_cookie() to pin the cache
resources.

(4) A function, fscache_unpin_writeback(), to be called by ->write_inode()
to unuse the cookie.

(5) A function, fscache_clear_inode_writeback(), to be called when the
inode is evicted, before clear_inode() is called. This cleans up any
lingering I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB.

The network filesystem can then use these tools to make sure that
fscache_write_to_cache() can write locally modified data to the cache as
well as to the server.

For the future, I'm working on write helpers for netfs lib that should
allow this facility to be removed by keeping track of the dirty regions
separately - but that's incomplete at the moment and is also going to be
affected by folios, one way or another, since it deals with pages

fscache: Implement higher-level write I/O interface

Provide a higher-level function than fscache_write() to perform a write
from an inode's pagecache to the cache, whilst fending off concurrent
writes by means of the PG_fscache mark on a page:

void fscache_write_to_cache(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
struct address_space *mapping,
loff_t start,
size_t len,
loff_t i_size,
netfs_io_terminated_t term_func,
void *term_func_priv,
bool caching);

If caching is false, this function does nothing except call (*term_func)()
if given. It assumes that, in such a case, PG_fscache will not have been
set on the pages.

Otherwise, if caching is true, this function requires the source pages to
have had PG_fscache set on them before calling. start and len define the
region of the file to be modified and i_size indicates the new file size.
The source pages are extracted from the mapping.

term_func and term_func_priv work as for fscache_write(). The PG_fscache
marks will be cleared at the end of the operation, before term_func is
called or the function otherwise returns.

There is an additonal helper function to clear the PG_fscache bits from a
range of pages:

void fscache_clear_page_bits(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
struct address_space *mapping,
loff_t start, size_t len,
bool caching);

If caching is true, the pages to be managed are expected to be located on
mapping in the range defined by start and len. If caching is false, it
does nothing.

fscache: Implement raw I/O interface

Provide a pair of functions to perform raw I/O on the cache. The first
function allows an arbitrary asynchronous direct-IO read to be made against
a cache object, though the read should be aligned and sized appropriately
for the backing device:

int fscache_read(struct netfs_cache_resources *cres,
loff_t start_pos,
struct iov_iter *iter,
enum netfs_read_from_hole read_hole,
netfs_io_terminated_t term_func,
void *term_func_priv);

The cache resources must have been previously initialised by
fscache_begin_read_operation(). A read operation is sent to the backing
filesystem, starting at start_pos within the file. The size of the read is
specified by the iterator, as is the location of the output buffer.

If there is a hole in the data it can be ignored and left to the backing
filesystem to deal with (NETFS_READ_HOLE_IGNORE), a hole at the beginning
can be skipped over and the buffer padded with zeros
(NETFS_READ_HOLE_CLEAR) or -ENODATA can be given (NETFS_READ_HOLE_FAIL).

If term_func is not NULL, the operation may be performed asynchronously.
Upon completion, successful or otherwise, (*term_func)() will be called and
passed term_func_priv, along with an error or the amount of data
transferred. If the op is run asynchronously, fscache_read() will return
-EIOCBQUEUED.

The second function allows an arbitrary asynchronous direct-IO write to be
made against a cache object, though the write should be aligned and sized
appropriately for the backing device:

int fscache_write(struct netfs_cache_resources *cres,
loff_t start_pos,
struct iov_iter *iter,
netfs_io_terminated_t term_func,
void *term_func_priv);

This works in very similar way to fscache_read(), except that there's no
need to deal with holes (they're just overwritten).

The caller is responsible for preventing concurrent overlapping writes.

fscache: Provide a means to begin an operation

Provide a function to begin a read operation:

int fscache_begin_read_operation(
struct netfs_cache_resources *cres,
struct fscache_cookie *cookie)

This is primarily intended to be called by network filesystems on behalf of
netfslib, but may also be called to use the I/O access functions directly.
It attaches the resources required by the cache to cres struct from the
supplied cookie.

This holds access to the cache behind the cookie for the duration of the
operation and forces cache withdrawal and cookie invalidation to perform
synchronisation on the operation. cres->inval_counter is set from the
cookie at this point so that it can be compared at the end of the
operation.

Note that this does not guarantee that the cache state is fully set up and
able to perform I/O immediately; looking up and creation may be left in
progress in the background. The operations intended to be called by the
network filesystem, such as reading and writing, are expected to wait for
the cookie to move to the correct state.

This will, however, potentially sleep, waiting for a certain minimum state
to be set or for operations such as invalidate to advance far enough that
I/O can resume.


Also provide a function for the cache to call to wait for the cache object
to get to a state where it can be used for certain things:

bool fscache_wait_for_operation(struct netfs_cache_resources *cres,
enum fscache_want_stage stage);

This looks at the cache resources provided by the begin function and waits
for them to get to an appropriate stage. There's a choice of wanting just
some parameters (FSCACHE_WANT_PARAM) or the ability to do I/O
(FSCACHE_WANT_READ or FSCACHE_WANT_WRITE).

fscache: Implement cookie invalidation

Add a function to invalidate the cache behind a cookie:

void fscache_invalidate(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
const void *aux_data,
loff_t size,
unsigned int flags)

This causes any cached data for the specified cookie to be discarded. If
the cookie is marked as being in use, a new cache object will be created if
possible and future I/O will use that instead. In-flight I/O should be
abandoned (writes) or reconsidered (reads). Each time it is called
cookie->inval_counter is incremented and this can be used to detect
invalidation at the end of an I/O operation.

The coherency data attached to the cookie can be updated and the cookie
size should be reset. One flag is available, FSCACHE_INVAL_DIO_WRITE,
which should be used to indicate invalidation due to a DIO write on a
file. This will temporarily disable caching for this cookie.

fscache: Implement cookie user counting and resource pinning

Provide a pair of functions to count the number of users of a cookie (open
files, writeback, invalidation, resizing, reads, writes), to obtain and pin
resources for the cookie and to prevent culling for the whilst there are
users.

The first function marks a cookie as being in use:

void fscache_use_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
bool will_modify);

The caller should indicate the cookie to use and whether or not the caller
is in a context that may modify the cookie (e.g. a file open O_RDWR).

If the cookie is not already resourced, fscache will ask the cache backend
in the background to do whatever it needs to look up, create or otherwise
obtain the resources necessary to access data. This is pinned to the
cookie and may not be culled, though it may be withdrawn if the cache as a
whole is withdrawn.

The second function removes the in-use mark from a cookie and, optionally,
updates the coherency data:

void fscache_unuse_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie,
const void *aux_data,
const loff_t *object_size);

If non-NULL, the aux_data buffer and/or the object_size will be saved into
the cookie and will be set on the backing store when the object is
committed.

If this removes the last usage on a cookie, the cookie is placed onto an
LRU list from which it will be removed and closed after a couple of seconds
if it doesn't get reused. This prevents resource overload in the cache -
in particular it prevents it from holding too many files open.

Changes
=======
ver #2:
- Fix fscache_unuse_cookie() to use atomic_dec_and_lock() to avoid a
potential race if the cookie gets reused before it completes the
unusement.
- Added missing transition to LRU_DISCARDING state.

fscache: Implement cookie registration

Add functions to the fscache API to allow data file cookies to be acquired
and relinquished by the network filesystem. It is intended that the
filesystem will create such cookies per-inode under a volume.

To request a cookie, the filesystem should call:

struct fscache_cookie *
fscache_acquire_cookie(struct fscache_volume *volume,
u8 advice,
const void *index_key,
size_t index_key_len,
const void *aux_data,
size_t aux_data_len,
loff_t object_size)


The filesystem must first have created a volume cookie, which is passed in
here. If it passes in NULL then the function will just return a NULL
cookie.

A binary key should be passed in index_key and is of size index_key_len.
This is saved in the cookie and is used to locate the associated data in
the cache.

A coherency data buffer of size aux_data_len will be allocated and
initialised from the buffer pointed to by aux_data. This is used to
validate cache objects when they're opened and is stored on disk with them
when they're committed. The data is stored in the cookie and will be
updateable by various functions in later patches.

The object_size must also be given. This is also used to perform a
coherency check and to size the backing storage appropriately.

This function disallows a cookie from being acquired twice in parallel,
though it will cause the second user to wait if the first is busy
relinquishing its cookie.


When a network filesystem has finished with a cookie, it should call:

void
fscache_relinquish_cookie(struct fscache_volume *volume,
bool retire)

If retire is true, any backing data will be discarded immediately.

Changes
=======
ver #3:
- fscache_hash()'s size parameter is now in bytes. Use __le32 as the unit
to round up to.
- When comparing cookies, simply see if the attributes are the same rather
than subtracting them to produce a strcmp-style return[1].
- Add a check to see if the cookie is still hashed at the point of
freeing.

ver #2:
- Don't hold n_accesses elevated whilst cache is bound to a cookie, but
rather add a flag that prevents the state machine from being queued when
n_accesses reaches 0.
- Remove the unused cookie pointer field from the fscache_acquire
tracepoint.

fscache: Implement volume registration

Add functions to the fscache API to allow volumes to be acquired and
relinquished by the network filesystem. A volume is an index of data
storage cache objects. A volume is represented by a volume cookie in the
API. A filesystem would typically create a volume for a superblock and
then create per-inode cookies within it.

To request a volume, the filesystem calls:

struct fscache_volume *
fscache_acquire_volume(const char *volume_key,
const char *cache_name,
const void *coherency_data,
size_t coherency_len)

The volume_key is a printable string used to match the volume in the cache.
It should not contain any '/' characters. For AFS, for example, this would
be "afs,<cellname>,<volume_id>", e.g. "afs,example.com,523001".

The cache_name can be NULL, but if not it should be a string indicating the
name of the cache to use if there's more than one available.

The coherency data, if given, is an arbitrarily-sized blob that's attached
to the volume and is compared when the volume is looked up. If it doesn't
match, the old volume is judged to be out of date and it and everything
within it is discarded.

Acquiring a volume twice concurrently is disallowed, though the function
will wait if an old volume cookie is being relinquishing.


When a network filesystem has finished with a volume, it should return the
volume cookie by calling:

void
fscache_relinquish_volume(struct fscache_volume *volume,
const void *coherency_data,
bool invalidate)

If invalidate is true, the entire volume will be discarded; if false, the
volume will be synced and the coherency data will be updated.

Changes
=======
ver #4:
- Removed an extraneous param from kdoc on fscache_relinquish_volume()[3].

ver #3:
- fscache_hash()'s size parameter is now in bytes. Use __le32 as the unit
to round up to.
- When comparing cookies, simply see if the attributes are the same rather
than subtracting them to produce a strcmp-style return[2].
- Make the coherency data an arbitrary blob rather than a u64, but don't
store it for the moment.

ver #2:
- Fix error check[1].
- Make a fscache_acquire_volume() return errors, including EBUSY if a
conflicting volume cookie already exists. No error is printed now -
that's left to the netfs.
