Message-ID: <164622970143.3564931.3656393397237724303.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> Date: Wed, 02 Mar 2022 14:01:41 +0000 From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com> To: linux-cachefs@...hat.com Cc: Jeffle Xu <jefflexu@...ux.alibaba.com>, Jeff Layton <jlayton@...nel.org>, linux-afs@...ts.infradead.org, dhowells@...hat.com, Anna Schumaker <anna.schumaker@...app.com>, Steve French <sfrench@...ba.org>, Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@...ewreck.org>, Jeff Layton <jlayton@...hat.com>, David Wysochanski <dwysocha@...hat.com>, Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@...il.com>, Jeffle Xu <jefflexu@...ux.alibaba.com>, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>, linux-afs@...ts.infradead.org, linux-nfs@...r.kernel.org, linux-cifs@...r.kernel.org, ceph-devel@...r.kernel.org, v9fs-developer@...ts.sourceforge.net, linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 00/19] netfs: Prep for write helpers Having had a go at implementing write helpers and content encryption support in netfslib, it seems that the netfs_read_{,sub}request structs and the equivalent write request structs were almost the same and so should be merged, thereby requiring only one set of alloc/get/put functions and a common set of tracepoints. Merging the structs also has the advantage that if a bounce buffer is added to the request struct, a read operation can be performed to fill the bounce buffer, the contents of the buffer can be modified and then a write operation can be performed on it to send the data wherever it needs to go using the same request structure all the way through. The I/O handlers would then transparently perform any required crypto. This should make it easy to perform RMW cycles if needed. The potentially common functions and structs, however, by their names all proclaim themselves to be associated with the read side of things. The bulk of these changes alter this in the following ways: (1) Rename struct netfs_read_{,sub}request to netfs_io_{,sub}request. (2) Rename some enums, members and flags to make them more appropriate. (3) Adjust some comments to match. (4) Drop "read"/"rreq" from the names of common functions. For instance, netfs_get_read_request() becomes netfs_get_request(). (5) The ->init_rreq() and ->issue_op() methods become ->init_request() and ->issue_read(). I've kept the latter as a read-specific function and in another branch added an ->issue_write() method. The driver source is then reorganised into a number of files: fs/netfs/buffered_read.c Create read reqs to the pagecache fs/netfs/io.c Dispatchers for read and write reqs fs/netfs/main.c Some general miscellaneous bits fs/netfs/objects.c Alloc, get and put functions fs/netfs/stats.c Optional procfs statistics. and future development can be fitted into this scheme, e.g.: fs/netfs/buffered_write.c Modify the pagecache fs/netfs/buffered_flush.c Writeback from the pagecache fs/netfs/direct_read.c DIO read support fs/netfs/direct_write.c DIO write support fs/netfs/unbuffered_write.c Write modifications directly back Beyond the above changes, there are also some changes that affect how things work: (1) Make fscache_end_operation() generally available. (2) In the netfs tracing header, generate enums from the symbol -> string mapping tables rather than manually coding them. (3) Add a struct for filesystems that uses netfslib to put into their inode wrapper structs to hold extra state that netfslib is interested in, such as the fscache cookie. This allows netfslib functions to be set in filesystem operation tables and jumped to directly without having to have a filesystem wrapper. (4) Add a member to the struct added in (3) to track the remote inode length as that may differ if local modifications are buffered. We may need to supply an appropriate EOF pointer when storing data (in AFS for example). (5) Pass extra information to netfs_alloc_request() so that the ->init_request() hook can access it and retain information to indicate the origin of the operation. (6) Make the ->init_request() hook return an error, thereby allowing a filesystem that isn't allowed to cache an inode (ceph or cifs, for example) to skip readahead. (7) Switch to using refcount_t for subrequests and add tracepoints to log refcount changes for the request and subrequest structs. (8) Add a function to consolidate dispatching a read request. Similar code is used in three places and another couple are likely to be added in the future. The patches can be found on this branch: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=fscache-next This is based on top of ceph's master branch as some of the patches conflict.
