Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] afs: Fix dynamic root interaction with failing DNS lookups

Hi Markus, Marc,

Here's a set of fixes to improve the interaction of arbitrary lookups in
the AFS dynamic root that hit DNS lookup failures[1]:

(1) Always delete unused (particularly negative) dentries as soon as
possible so that they don't prevent future lookups from retrying.

(2) Fix the handling of new-style negative DNS lookups in ->lookup() to
make them return ENOENT so that userspace doesn't get confused when
stat succeeds but the following open on the looked up file then fails.

(3) Fix key handling so that DNS lookup results are reclaimed as soon as
they expire rather than sitting round either forever or for an
additional 5 mins beyond a set expiry time returning EKEYEXPIRED.

The patches can be found here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=afs-fixes

Thanks,
David

Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] afs: Fix the dynamic root's d_delete to always delete unused dentries

Fix the afs dynamic root's d_delete function to always delete unused
dentries rather than only deleting them if they're positive. With things
as they stand upstream, negative dentries stemming from failed DNS lookups
stick around preventing retries.

Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] afs: Fix dynamic root lookup DNS check

In the afs dynamic root directory, the ->lookup() function does a DNS check
on the cell being asked for and if the DNS upcall reports an error it will
report an error back to userspace (typically ENOENT).

However, if a failed DNS upcall returns a new-style result, it will return
a valid result, with the status field set appropriately to indicate the
type of failure - and in that case, dns_query() doesn't return an error and
we let stat() complete with no error - which can cause confusion in
userspace as subsequent calls that trigger d_automount then fail with
ENOENT.

Fix this by checking the status result from a valid dns_query() and
returning an error if it indicates a failure.

Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] keys, dns: Allow key types (eg. DNS) to be reclaimed immediately on expiry

If a key has an expiration time, then when that time passes, the key is
left around for a certain amount of time before being collected (5 mins by
default) so that EKEYEXPIRED can be returned instead of ENOKEY. This is a
problem for DNS keys because we want to redo the DNS lookup immediately at
that point.

Fix this by allowing key types to be marked such that keys of that type
don't have this extra period, but are reclaimed as soon as they expire and
turn this on for dns_resolver-type keys. To make this easier to handle,
key->expiry is changed to be permanent if TIME64_MAX rather than 0.

Furthermore, give such new-style negative DNS results a 1s default expiry
if no other expiry time is set rather than allowing it to stick around
indefinitely. This shouldn't be zero as ls will follow a failing stat call
immediately with a second with AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW added.
