David Howells d0660f0b3b dns_resolver: Allow used keys to be invalidated
Allow used DNS resolver keys to be invalidated after use if the caller is
doing its own caching of the results.  This reduces the amount of resources
required.

Fix AFS to invalidate DNS results to kill off permanent failure records
that get lodged in the resolver keyring and prevent future lookups from
happening.

David Howells 3bf0fb6f33 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.

David Howells 0a5143f2f8 afs: Implement VL server rotation
Track VL servers as independent entities rather than lumping all their
addresses together into one set and implement server-level rotation by:

 (1) Add the concept of a VL server list, where each server has its own
     separate address list.  This code is similar to the FS server list.

 (2) Use the DNS resolver to retrieve a set of servers and their associated
     addresses, ports, preference and weight ratings.

 (3) In the case of a legacy DNS resolver or an address list given directly
     through /proc/net/afs/cells, create a list containing just a dummy
     server record and attach all the addresses to that.

 (4) Implement a simple rotation policy, for the moment ignoring the
     priorities and weights assigned to the servers.

 (5) Show the address list through /proc/net/afs/<cell>/vlservers.  This
     also displays the source and status of the data as indicated by the
     upcall.

David Howells e7f680f45b afs: Improve FS server rotation error handling
Improve the error handling in FS server rotation by:

 (1) Cache the latest useful error value for the fs operation as a whole in
     struct afs_fs_cursor separately from the error cached in the
     afs_addr_cursor struct.  The one in the address cursor gets clobbered
     occasionally.  Copy over the error to the fs operation only when it's
     something we'd be interested in passing to userspace.

 (2) Make it so that EDESTADDRREQ is the default that is seen only if no
     addresses are available to be accessed.

 (3) When calling utility functions, such as checking a volume status or
     probing a fileserver, don't let a successful result clobber the cached
     error in the cursor; instead, stash the result in a temporary variable
     until it has been assessed.

 (4) Don't return ETIMEDOUT or ETIME if a better error, such as
     ENETUNREACH, is already cached.

 (5) On leaving the rotation loop, turn any remote abort code into a more
     useful error than ECONNABORTED.

Pull overflow updates from Kees Cook:
 "This adds the new overflow checking helpers and adds them to the
  2-factor argument allocators. And this adds the saturating size
  helpers and does a treewide replacement for the struct_size() usage.
  Additionally this adds the overflow testing modules to make sure
  everything works.

  I'm still working on the treewide replacements for allocators with
  "simple" multiplied arguments:

     *alloc(a * b, ...) -> *alloc_array(a, b, ...)

  and

     *zalloc(a * b, ...) -> *calloc(a, b, ...)

  as well as the more complex cases, but that's separable from this
  portion of the series. I expect to have the rest sent before -rc1
  closes; there are a lot of messy cases to clean up.

Kees Cook acafe7e302 treewide: Use struct_size() for kmalloc()-family
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct foo {
    int stuff;
    void *entry[];
};

instance = kmalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:

instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);

This patch makes the changes for kmalloc()-family (and kvmalloc()-family)
uses. It was done via automatic conversion with manual review for the
"CHECKME" non-standard cases noted below, using the following Coccinelle
script:

// pkey_cache = kmalloc(sizeof *pkey_cache + tprops->pkey_tbl_len *
//                      sizeof *pkey_cache->table, GFP_KERNEL);

David Howells 01fd79e6de afs: Fix address list parsing
The parsing of port specifiers in the address list obtained from the DNS
resolution upcall doesn't work as in4_pton() and in6_pton() will fail on
encountering an unexpected delimiter (in this case, the '+' marking the
port number).  However, in*_pton() can't be given multiple specifiers.

Fix this by finding the delimiter in advance and not relying on in*_pton()
to find the end of the address for us.

David Howells fe4d774c84 afs: Fix missing cursor clearance
afs_select_fileserver() ends the address cursor it is using in the case in
which we get some sort of network error and run out of addresses to iterate
through, before it jumps to try the next server.  This also needs to be
done when the server aborts with some sort of error that means we should
try the next server.

Fix this by:

 (1) Move the iterate_address afs_end_cursor() call to the next_server
     case.

 (2) End the cursor in the failed case.

 (3) Make afs_end_cursor() clear the ->begun flag and ->addr pointer in the

 (4) Make afs_end_cursor() able to be called on an already cleared cursor.

David Howells bf99a53ce2 afs: Make use of the YFS service upgrade to fully support IPv6
YFS VL servers offer an upgraded Volume Location service that can return
IPv6 addresses to fileservers and volume servers in addition to IPv4
addresses using the YFSVL.GetEndpoints operation which we should use if
it's available.

To this end:

 (1) Make rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() return the call's current service ID so
     that the caller can detect service upgrade and see what the service
     was upgraded to.

 (2) When we see a VL server address we haven't seen before, send a
     VL.GetCapabilities operation to it with the service upgrade bit set.

     If we get an upgrade to the YFS VL service, change the service ID in
     the address list for that address to use the upgraded service and set
     a flag to note that this appears to be a YFS-compatible server.

 (3) If, when a server's addresses are being looked up, we note that we
     previously detected a YFS-compatible server, then send the
     YFSVL.GetEndpoints operation rather than VL.GetAddrsU.

 (4) Build a fileserver address list from the reply of YFSVL.GetEndpoints,
     including both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.  Volume server addresses are
     discarded.

 (5) The address list is sorted by address and port now, instead of just
     address.  This allows multiple servers on the same host sitting on
     different ports.

David Howells d2ddc776a4 afs: Overhaul volume and server record caching and fileserver rotation
The current code assumes that volumes and servers are per-cell and are
never shared, but this is not enforced, and, indeed, public cells do exist
that are aliases of each other.  Further, an organisation can, say, set up
a public cell and a private cell with overlapping, but not identical, sets
of servers.  The difference is purely in the database attached to the VL
servers.

The current code will malfunction if it sees a server in two cells as it
assumes global address -> server record mappings and that each server is in
just one cell.

Further, each server may have multiple addresses - and may have addresses
of different families (IPv4 and IPv6, say).

To this end, the following structural changes are made:

 (1) Server record management is overhauled:

     (a) Server records are made independent of cell.  The namespace keeps
     	 track of them, volume records have lists of them and each vnode
     	 has a server on which its callback interest currently resides.

     (b) The cell record no longer keeps a list of servers known to be in
     	 that cell.

     (c) The server records are now kept in a flat list because there's no
     	 single address to sort on.

     (d) Server records are now keyed by their UUID within the namespace.

     (e) The addresses for a server are obtained with the VL.GetAddrsU
     	 rather than with VL.GetEntryByName, using the server's UUID as a
     	 parameter.

     (f) Cached server records are garbage collected after a period of
     	 non-use and are counted out of existence before purging is allowed
     	 to complete.  This protects the work functions against rmmod.

     (g) The servers list is now in /proc/fs/afs/servers.

 (2) Volume record management is overhauled:

     (a) An RCU-replaceable server list is introduced.  This tracks both
     	 servers and their coresponding callback interests.

     (b) The superblock is now keyed on cell record and numeric volume ID.

     (c) The volume record is now tied to the superblock which mounts it,
     	 and is activated when mounted and deactivated when unmounted.
     	 This makes it easier to handle the cache cookie without causing a
     	 double-use in fscache.

     (d) The volume record is loaded from the VLDB using VL.GetEntryByNameU
     	 to get the server UUID list.

     (e) The volume name is updated if it is seen to have changed when the
     	 volume is updated (the update is keyed on the volume ID).

 (3) The vlocation record is got rid of and VLDB records are no longer
     cached.  Sufficient information is stored in the volume record, though
     an update to a volume record is now no longer shared between related
     volumes (volumes come in bundles of three: R/W, R/O and backup).

and the following procedural changes are made:

 (1) The fileserver cursor introduced previously is now fleshed out and
     used to iterate over fileservers and their addresses.

 (2) Volume status is checked during iteration, and the server list is
     replaced if a change is detected.

 (3) Server status is checked during iteration, and the address list is
     replaced if a change is detected.

 (4) The abort code is saved into the address list cursor and -ECONNABORTED
     returned in afs_make_call() if a remote abort happened rather than
     translating the abort into an error message.  This allows actions to
     be taken depending on the abort code more easily.

     (a) If a VMOVED abort is seen then this is handled by rechecking the
     	 volume and restarting the iteration.

     (b) If a VBUSY, VRESTARTING or VSALVAGING abort is seen then this is
         handled by sleeping for a short period and retrying and/or trying
         other servers that might serve that volume.  A message is also
         displayed once until the condition has cleared.

     (c) If a VOFFLINE abort is seen, then this is handled as VBUSY for the
     	 moment.

     (d) If a VNOVOL abort is seen, the volume is rechecked in the VLDB to
     	 see if it has been deleted; if not, the fileserver is probably
     	 indicating that the volume couldn't be attached and needs
     	 salvaging.

     (e) If statfs() sees one of these aborts, it does not sleep, but
     	 rather returns an error, so as not to block the umount program.

 (5) The fileserver iteration functions in vnode.c are now merged into
     their callers and more heavily macroised around the cursor.  vnode.c
     is removed.

 (6) Operations on a particular vnode are serialised on that vnode because
     the server will lock that vnode whilst it operates on it, so a second
     op sent will just have to wait.

 (7) Fileservers are probed with FS.GetCapabilities before being used.
     This is where service upgrade will be done.

 (8) A callback interest on a fileserver is set up before an FS operation
     is performed and passed through to afs_make_call() so that it can be
     set on the vnode if the operation returns a callback.  The callback
     interest is passed through to afs_iget() also so that it can be set
     there too.

In general, record updating is done on an as-needed basis when we try to
access servers, volumes or vnodes rather than offloading it to work items
and special threads.

Notes:

 (1) Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can be added
     back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998).

 (2) VBUSY is retried forever for the moment at intervals of 1s.

 (3) /proc/fs/afs/<cell>/servers no longer exists.

David Howells 8b2a464ced afs: Add an address list concept
Add an RCU replaceable address list structure to hold a list of server
addresses.  The list also holds the

To this end:

 (1) A cell's VL server address list can be loaded directly via insmod or
     echo to /proc/fs/afs/cells or dynamically from a DNS query for AFSDB
     or SRV records.

 (2) Anyone wanting to use a cell's VL server address must wait until the
     cell record comes online and has tried to obtain some addresses.

 (3) An FS server's address list, for the moment, has a single entry that
     is the key to the server list.  This will change in the future when a
     server is instead keyed on its UUID and the VL.GetAddrsU operation is
     used.

 (4) An 'address cursor' concept is introduced to handle iteration through
     the address list.  This is passed to the afs_make_call() as, in the
     future, stuff (such as abort code) that doesn't outlast the call will
     be returned in it.

In the future, we might want to annotate the list with information about
how each address fares.  We might then want to propagate such annotations
over address list replacement.

Whilst we're at it, we allow IPv6 addresses to be specified in
colon-delimited lists by enclosing them in square brackets.
