Hi Linus,
Here are a set of AFS patches, a few fixes, but mostly development. The fixes
are:
(1) Fix a bunch of checker warnings.
(2) Fix overincrement of the usage count on pinned cells.
(3) Fix directory handling. We cannot assume that a directory blob isn't
completely rewritten between version numbers on the server, so we can't
mix pages from different versions in the local pagecache. If the
server's copy of a directory changes, we have to entirely throw out our
own copy and download afresh.
and the development patches:
(1) Implement the AFS @sys and @cell filename substitutions.
(2) Introduce a stats file, /proc/fs/afs/stats.
(3) Improve validation on dentries by keeping track of the last data version
we got from the server indicating changes not made locally since the
server inode was cached. If we made a local change to a directory with
no interference from another client, we don't need to invalidate all the
dentries.
(4) Locally edit our copy of a directory's contents when we make local
changes to it (eg. mkdir in it). This is fine, provided the server
indicates that the remote copy's data version increased by exactly 1. It
doesn't matter if the local data deviates from the remote data in exact
details, provided we flush the local one if we detect interference.
(5) Add tracepoints for protocol errors and directory editing.
(6) Do better aggregation of small disjointed writes (such as ld does) to a
locally newly created or truncated file when we write that to the server,
reducing the number of store ops at the expense of writing some of the
padding back too.
Note that this depends on the fscache-next-20180404 patchset already posted.
