Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 0/14] Convert NFS to new FS-Cache iter API
Date:   Wed, 29 Jul 2020 10:12:15 -0400
Message-Id: <1596031949-26793-1-git-send-email-dwysocha@redhat.com>
Sender: linux-nfs-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

These patches update the nfs client to use the new FS-Cache API and are at:
https://github.com/DaveWysochanskiRH/kernel/tree/fscache-iter-nfs
https://github.com/DaveWysochanskiRH/kernel/commit/467796a0c75d64401c8963e9266f27d87863ed3e

They are based on David Howells fscache-iter tree at 757ac8b16a0edd3befa15c9bdcb2ab3811be945d
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/commit/?h=fscache-iter&id=757ac8b16a0edd3befa15c9bdcb2ab3811be945d

The first 5 patches refactor some of the NFS read code to facilitate
re-use, while the last 9 patches do the conversion to the new FS-Cache
API.

Changes since v1
* Refactor and general cleanup of read code paths
* Fixes a few build errors when NFS_FSCACHE is not configured
* Fixes directIO data corruption (needed fscache_invalidate() on directIO write)

Summary
* Takes a "least invasive to existing code" approach
  * most fscache bits stay fs/nfs/fscache.[ch]
  * only enable fscache for files open for READ (disable for WRITE)
  * may not be the best approach (see future patcheset items below)
* Basically works and passes a series of tests (see below)
  * No kernel oopses or hangs seen with tests run

Future patchset items
* Call fscache_read_helper_* directly rather than isolation into
  fs/nfs/fscache.c, similar to the AFS conversion
* Add write-through support
  * Eliminate on/off switching of fscache based on whether a
  file is open for read or write
  * TODO: Work out any limitations of NFS versions
* Rework dfprintks and/or add ftrace points
  * fscache/cachefiles has 'debug' logging similar to rpcdebug
  * convert IO path to ftrace, leave non-IO path as dfprintk?

Tests run
* A few individual NFS/fscache unit tests: PASS
* cthon04 (fsc/non-fsc, vers=3,4.0,4.1,4.2, sec=sys): PASS
* iozone tests (fsc, vers=3,4.0,4.1,4.2, sec=sys): PASS
* xfstests/generic (fsc,vers=4.2): 17/151 (Failed/Ran) 595/444 (Total/NotRan)
Failures: generic/029 generic/030 generic/240 generic/294 generic/306 generic/356 generic/357 generic/452 generic/472 generic/493 generic/494 generic/495 generic/496 generic/497 generic/554 generic/568 generic/569
Failed 17 of 595 tests
* kernel build: FAIL (linking module fails; truncate / invalidate related?)

Test not run
* error injections (for example, connection disruptions, server errors during IO, etc)
* pNFS
* many process mixed read/write on same file
* sec=krb5

Dave Wysochanski (14):
  NFS: Clean up nfs_readpage() and nfs_readpages()
  NFS: In nfs_readpage() only increment NFSIOS_READPAGES when read
    succeeds
  NFS: Refactor nfs_readpage() and nfs_readpage_async() to use
    nfs_readdesc
  NFS: Call readpage_async_filler() from nfs_readpage_async()
  NFS: Add nfs_pageio_complete_read() and remove nfs_readpage_async()
  NFS: Allow internal use of read structs and functions
  NFS: Convert nfs_readpage() and readpages() to new fscache API
  NFS: Convert fscache_acquire_cookie and fscache_relinquish_cookie
  NFS: Only use and unuse an fscache cookie a single time based on
    NFS_INO_FSCACHE
  NFS: Convert fscache invalidation and update aux_data and i_size
  NFS: Call nfs_fscache_invalidate() when write extends the size of the
    file
  NFS: Invalidate fscache for direct writes
  NFS: Call fscache_resize_cookie() when inode size changes due to
    setattr
  NFS: Allow NFS use of new fscache API in build
