Pull erofs (and fscache) updates from Gao Xiang:
"After working on it on the mailing list for more than half a year, we
finally form 'erofs over fscache' feature into shape. Hopefully it
could bring more possibility to the communities.

The story mainly started from a new project what we called "RAFS v6" [1]
for Nydus image service almost a year ago, which enhances EROFS to be
a new form of one bootstrap (which includes metadata representing the
whole fs tree) + several data-deduplicated content addressable blobs
(actually treated as multiple devices). Each blob can represent one
container image layer but not quite exactly since all new data can be
fully existed in the previous blobs so no need to introduce another
new blob.

It is actually not a new idea (at least on my side it's much like a
simpilied casync [2] for now) and has many benefits over per-file
blobs or some other exist ways since typically each RAFS v6 image only
has dozens of device blobs instead of thousands of per-file blobs.
It's easy to be signed with user keys as a golden image, transfered
untouchedly with minimal overhead over the network, kept in some type
of storage conveniently, and run with (optional) runtime verification
but without involving too many irrelevant features crossing the system
beyond EROFS itself. At least it's our final goal and we're keeping
working on it. There was also a good summary of this approach from the
casync author [3].

Regardless further optimizations, this work is almost done in the
previous Linux release cycles. In this round, we'd like to introduce
on-demand load for EROFS with the fscache/cachefiles infrastructure,
considering the following advantages:

- Introduce new file-based backend to EROFS. Although each image only
contains dozens of blobs but in densely-deployed runC host for
example, there could still be massive blobs on a machine, which is
messy if each blob is treated as a device. In contrast, fscache and
cachefiles are really great interfaces for us to make them work.

- Introduce on-demand load to fscache and EROFS. Previously, fscache
is mainly used to caching network-likewise filesystems, now it can
support on-demand downloading for local fses too with the exact
localfs on-disk format. It has many advantages which we're been
described in the latest patchset cover letter [4]. In addition to
that, most importantly, the cached data is still stored in the
original local fs on-disk format so that it's still the one signed
with private keys but only could be partially available. Users can
fully trust it during running. Later, users can also back up
cachefiles easily to another machine.

- More reliable on-demand approach in principle. After data is all
available locally, user daemon can be no longer online in some use
cases, which helps daemon crash recovery (filesystems can still in
service) and hot-upgrade (user daemon can be upgraded more
frequently due to new features or protocols introduced.)

- Other format can also be converted to EROFS filesystem format over
the internet on the fly with the new on-demand load feature and
mounted. That is entirely possible with on-demand load feature as
long as such archive format metadata can be fetched in advance like
stargz.

In addition, although currently our target user is Nydus image service [5],
but laterly, it can be used for other use cases like on-demand system
booting, etc. As for the fscache on-demand load feature itself,
strictly it can be used for other local fses too. Laterly we could
promote most code to the iomap infrastructure and also enhance it in
the read-write way if other local fses are interested.

Thanks David Howells for taking so much time and patience on this
these months, many thanks with great respect here again! Thanks Jeffle
for working on this feature and Xin Yin from Bytedance for
asynchronous I/O implementation as well as Zichen Tian, Jia Zhu, and
Yan Song for testing, much appeciated. We're also exploring more
possibly over fscache cache management over FSDAX for secure
containers and working on more improvements and useful features for
fscache, cachefiles, and on-demand load.

In addition to "erofs over fscache", NFS export and idmapped mount are
also completed in this cycle for container use cases as well.

Summary:

- Add erofs on-demand load support over fscache

- Support NFS export for erofs

- Support idmapped mounts for erofs

- Don't prompt for risk any more when using big pcluster

- Fix buffer copy overflow of ztailpacking feature

- Several minor cleanups"

cachefiles: unbind cachefiles gracefully in on-demand mode

Add a refcount to avoid the deadlock in on-demand read mode. The
on-demand read mode will pin the corresponding cachefiles object for
each anonymous fd. The cachefiles object is unpinned when the anonymous
fd gets closed. When the user daemon exits and the fd of
"/dev/cachefiles" device node gets closed, it will wait for all
cahcefiles objects getting withdrawn. Then if there's any anonymous fd
getting closed after the fd of the device node, the user daemon will
hang forever, waiting for all objects getting withdrawn.

To fix this, add a refcount indicating if there's any object pinned by
anonymous fds. The cachefiles cache gets unbound and withdrawn when the
refcount is decreased to 0. It won't change the behaviour of the
original mode, in which case the cachefiles cache gets unbound and
withdrawn as long as the fd of the device node gets closed.

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.

Pull fscache rewrite from David Howells:
"This is a set of patches that rewrites the fscache driver and the
cachefiles driver, significantly simplifying the code compared to
what's upstream, removing the complex operation scheduling and object
state machine in favour of something much smaller and simpler.

The series is structured such that the first few patches disable
fscache use by the network filesystems using it, remove the cachefiles
driver entirely and as much of the fscache driver as can be got away
with without causing build failures in the network filesystems.

The patches after that recreate fscache and then cachefiles,
attempting to add the pieces in a logical order. Finally, the
filesystems are reenabled and then the very last patch changes the
documentation.

[!] Note: I have dropped the cifs patch for the moment, leaving local
caching in cifs disabled. I've been having trouble getting that
working. I think I have it done, but it needs more testing (there
seem to be some test failures occurring with v5.16 also from
xfstests), so I propose deferring that patch to the end of the
merge window.

WHY REWRITE?
============

Fscache's operation scheduling API was intended to handle sequencing
of cache operations, which were all required (where possible) to run
asynchronously in parallel with the operations being done by the
network filesystem, whilst allowing the cache to be brought online and
offline and to interrupt service for invalidation.

With the advent of the tmpfile capacity in the VFS, however, an
opportunity arises to do invalidation much more simply, without having
to wait for I/O that's actually in progress: Cachefiles can simply
create a tmpfile, cut over the file pointer for the backing object
attached to a cookie and abandon the in-progress I/O, dismissing it
upon completion.

Future work here would involve using Omar Sandoval's vfs_link() with
AT_LINK_REPLACE[1] to allow an extant file to be displaced by a new
hard link from a tmpfile as currently I have to unlink the old file
first.

These patches can also simplify the object state handling as I/O
operations to the cache don't all have to be brought to a stop in
order to invalidate a file. To that end, and with an eye on to writing
a new backing cache model in the future, I've taken the opportunity to
simplify the indexing structure.

I've separated the index cookie concept from the file cookie concept
by C type now. The former is now called a "volume cookie" (struct
fscache_volume) and there is a container of file cookies. There are
then just the two levels. All the index cookie levels are collapsed
into a single volume cookie, and this has a single printable string as
a key. For instance, an AFS volume would have a key of something like
"afs,example.com,1000555", combining the filesystem name, cell name
and volume ID. This is freeform, but must not have '/' chars in it.

I've also eliminated all pointers back from fscache into the network
filesystem. This required the duplication of a little bit of data in
the cookie (cookie key, coherency data and file size), but it's not
actually that much. This gets rid of problems with making sure we keep
netfs data structures around so that the cache can access them.

These patches mean that most of the code that was in the drivers
before is simply gone and those drivers are now almost entirely new
code. That being the case, there doesn't seem any particular reason to
try and maintain bisectability across it. Further, there has to be a
point in the middle where things are cut over as there's a single
point everything has to go through (ie. /dev/cachefiles) and it can't
be in use by two drivers at once.

ISSUES YET OUTSTANDING
======================

There are some issues still outstanding, unaddressed by this patchset,
that will need fixing in future patchsets, but that don't stop this
series from being usable:

(1) The cachefiles driver needs to stop using the backing filesystem's
metadata to store information about what parts of the cache are
populated. This is not reliable with modern extent-based
filesystems.

Fixing this is deferred to a separate patchset as it involves
negotiation with the network filesystem and the VM as to how much
data to download to fulfil a read - which brings me on to (2)...

(2) NFS (and CIFS with the dropped patch) do not take account of how
the cache would like I/O to be structured to meet its granularity
requirements. Previously, the cache used page granularity, which
was fine as the network filesystems also dealt in page
granularity, and the backing filesystem (ext4, xfs or whatever)
did whatever it did out of sight. However, we now have folios to
deal with and the cache will now have to store its own metadata to
track its contents.

The change I'm looking at making for cachefiles is to store
content bitmaps in one or more xattrs and making a bit in the map
correspond to something like a 256KiB block. However, the size of
an xattr and the fact that they have to be read/updated in one go
means that I'm looking at covering 1GiB of data per 512-byte map
and storing each map in an xattr. Cachefiles has the potential to
grow into a fully fledged filesystem of its very own if I'm not
careful.

However, I'm also looking at changing things even more radically
and going to a different model of how the cache is arranged and
managed - one that's more akin to the way, say, openafs does
things - which brings me on to (3)...

(3) The way cachefilesd does culling is very inefficient for large
caches and it would be better to move it into the kernel if I can
as cachefilesd has to keep asking the kernel if it can cull a
file. Changing the way the backend works would allow this to be
addressed.

BITS THAT MAY BE CONTROVERSIAL
==============================

There are some bits I've added that may be controversial:

(1) I've provided a flag, S_KERNEL_FILE, that cachefiles uses to check
if a files is already being used by some other kernel service
(e.g. a duplicate cachefiles cache in the same directory) and
reject it if it is. This isn't entirely necessary, but it helps
prevent accidental data corruption.

I don't want to use S_SWAPFILE as that has other effects, but
quite possibly swapon() should set S_KERNEL_FILE too.

Note that it doesn't prevent userspace from interfering, though
perhaps it should. (I have made it prevent a marked directory from
being rmdir-able).

(2) Cachefiles wants to keep the backing file for a cookie open whilst
we might need to write to it from network filesystem writeback.
The problem is that the network filesystem unuses its cookie when
its file is closed, and so we have nothing pinning the cachefiles
file open and it will get closed automatically after a short time
to avoid EMFILE/ENFILE 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 suchlike.

To get around this, I added the following:

(A) 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.

(B) 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.

(C) 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.

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

(E) 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"

cachefiles: Implement backing file wrangling

Implement the wrangling of backing files, including the following pieces:

(1) Lookup and creation of a file on disk, using a tmpfile if the file
isn't yet present. The file is then opened, sized for DIO and the
file handle is attached to the cachefiles_object struct. The inode is
marked to indicate that it's in use by a kernel service.

(2) Invalidation of an object, creating a tmpfile and switching the file
pointer in the cachefiles object.

(3) Committing a file to disk, including setting the coherency xattr on it
and, if necessary, creating a hard link to it.

Note that this would be a good place to use Omar Sandoval's vfs_link()
with AT_LINK_REPLACE[1] as I may have to unlink an old file before I
can link a tmpfile into place.

(4) Withdrawal of open objects when a cache is being withdrawn or a cookie
is relinquished. This involves committing or discarding the file.

Changes
=======
ver #2:
- Fix logging of wrong error[1].

cachefiles: Implement culling daemon commands

Implement the ability for the userspace daemon to try and cull a file or
directory in the cache. Two daemon commands are implemented:

(1) The "inuse" command. This queries if a file is in use or whether it
can be deleted. It checks the S_KERNEL_FILE flag on the inode
referred to by the specified filename.

(2) The "cull" command. This asks for a file or directory to be removed,
where removal means either unlinking it or moving it to the graveyard
directory for userspace to dismantle.

Changes
=======
ver #2:
- Fix logging of wrong error[1].
- Need to unmark an inode we've moved to the graveyard before unlocking.

cachefiles: Implement volume support

Implement support for creating the directory layout for a volume on disk
and setting up and withdrawing volume caching.

Each volume has a directory named for the volume key under the root of the
cache (prefixed with an 'I' to indicate to cachefilesd that it's an index)
and then creates a bunch of hash bucket subdirectories under that (named as
'@' plus a hex number) in which cookie files will be created.
