Hi Marc,
Here are a set of patches to make some substantial fixes to the afs
filesystem including:
(1) Fix fileserver probe handling so that the next round of probes doesn't
break ongoing server/address rotation by clearing all the probe result
tracking. Instead, detach the probe results into a separate struct
and allocate a new one each time we start probing and update the
pointer to it. Probes are also sent in order of address preference to
try and improve the chance that the preferred one will complete first.
(2) Fix server rotation so that it uses configurable address preferences
across on the probes that have completed so far than ranking them by
RTT as the latter doesn't necessarily give the best route. The
preference list can be altered by echoing commands into
/proc/net/afs/addr_prefs.
(3) Fix the handling of Read-Only (and Backup) volume callbacks as there
is one per volume, not one per file, so if someone performs a command
that, say, offlines the volume but doesn't change it, when it comes
back online we don't spam the server with a status fetch for every
vnode we're using. Instead, check the Creation timestamp in the
VolSync record when prompted by a callback break.
(4) Handle volume regression (ie. a RW volume being restored from a
backup) by scrubbing all cache data for that volume. This is detected
from the VolSync creation timestamp.
(5) Adjust abort handling and abort -> error mapping to match better with
what other AFS clients do.
(6) Handle file locking locally on RO volumes rather than trying to get
them on the server. Exclusive locks aren't really handled in a RO
volume.
(7) Set RO volumes to be RO superblocks.
(8) Fix offline and busy volume state handling as they only apply to
individual server instances and not entire volumes and the rotation
algorithm should go and look at other servers if available. Also make
it sleep briefly before each retry if all the volume instances are
unavailable.
In addition there are a number of small fixes in rxrpc and afs included
here so that those problems don't affect testing.
