On reception of an error, we can fail immediately, perform some
bound amount of retries or retry indefinitely. The current behaviour
we have is to retry forever.
However, we'd like the ability to choose how long the filesystem
should try after an error, it can either fail immediately, retry a
few times, or retry forever. This is implemented by using
max_retries sysfs attribute, to hold the amount of times we allow
the filesystem to retry after an error. Being -1 a special case
where the filesystem will retry indefinitely.
Add both a maximum retry count and a retry timeout so that we can
bound by time and/or physical IO attempts.
Finally, plumb these into xfs_buf_iodone error processing so that
the error behaviour follows the selected configuration.

Reports have surfaced of a lockdep splat complaining about an
irq-safe -> irq-unsafe locking order in the xfs_buf_bio_end_io() bio
completion handler. This only occurs when I/O errors are present
because bp->b_lock is only acquired in this context to protect
setting an error on the buffer. The problem is that this lock can be
acquired with the (request_queue) q->queue_lock held. See
scsi_end_request() or ata_qc_schedule_eh(), for example.
Replace the locked test/set of b_io_error with a cmpxchg() call.
This eliminates the need for the lock and thus the lock ordering

There are several problems in the way a stateid is selected for a
LAYOUTGET operation:
We pick a stateid to use in the RPC prepare op, but that makes
it difficult to serialize LAYOUTGETs that use the open stateid. That
serialization is done in pnfs_update_layout, which occurs well before
the rpc_prepare operation.
Between those two events, the i_lock is dropped and reacquired.
pnfs_update_layout can find that the list has lsegs in it and not do any
serialization, but then later pnfs_choose_layoutget_stateid ends up
choosing the open stateid.
This patch changes the client to select the stateid to use in the
LAYOUTGET earlier, when we're searching for a usable layout segment.
This way we can do it all while holding the i_lock the first time, and
ensure that we serialize any LAYOUTGET call that uses a non-layout
stateid.
This also means a rework of how LAYOUTGET replies are handled, as we
must now get the latest stateid if we want to retransmit in response
to a retryable error.
Most of those errors boil down to the fact that the layout state has
changed in some fashion. Thus, what we really want to do is to re-search
for a layout when it fails with a retryable error, so that we can avoid
reissuing the RPC at all if possible.
While the LAYOUTGET RPC is async, the initiating thread always waits for
it to complete, so it's effectively synchronous anyway. Currently, when
we need to retry a LAYOUTGET because of an error, we drive that retry
via the rpc state machine.
This means that once the call has been submitted, it runs until it
completes. So, we must move the error handling for this RPC out of the
rpc_call_done operation and into the caller.
In order to handle errors like NFS4ERR_DELAY properly, we must also
pass a pointer to the sliding timeout, which is now moved to the stack
in pnfs_update_layout.
The complicating errors are -NFS4ERR_RECALLCONFLICT and
-NFS4ERR_LAYOUTTRYLATER, as those involve a timeout after which we give
up and return NULL back to the caller. So, there is some special
handling for those errors to ensure that the layers driving the retries
can handle that appropriately.

If we get back something like NFS4ERR_OLD_STATEID, that will be
translated into -EAGAIN, and the do/while loop in send_layoutget
will drive the call again.
This is not quite what we want, I think. An error like that is a
sign that something has changed. That something could have been a
concurrent LAYOUTGET that would give us a usable lseg.
Lift the retry logic into pnfs_update_layout instead. That allows
us to redo the layout search, and may spare us from having to issue
an RPC.

We currently do not check if any delimiter exists before the prefix

devname using cifs_build_devname() we can end up with multiple
delimiters separating the UNC and the prefix path.
An issue was reported by the customer mounting a folder within a DFS
share from a Netapp server which uses McAfee antivirus. We have
narrowed down the cause to the use of double backslashes in the file
name used to open the file. This was determined to be caused because of
additional delimiters as a result of the bug.
In addition to changes in cifs_build_devname(), we also fix
cifs_parse_devname() to ignore any preceding delimiter for the prefix
path.

Pull parallel filesystem directory handling update from Al Viro.
This is the main parallel directory work by Al that makes the vfs layer
able to do lookup and readdir in parallel within a single directory.
That's a big change, since this used to be all protected by the
directory inode mutex.
The inode mutex is replaced by an rwsem, and serialization of lookups of
a single name is done by a "in-progress" dentry marker.
The series begins with xattr cleanups, and then ends with switching
filesystems over to actually doing the readdir in parallel (switching to
the "iterate_shared()" that only takes the read lock).
A more detailed explanation of the process from Al Viro:
"The xattr work starts with some acl fixes, then switches ->getxattr to
passing inode and dentry separately. This is the point where the
things start to get tricky - that got merged into the very beginning
of the -rc3-based #work.lookups, to allow untangling the
security_d_instantiate() mess. The xattr work itself proceeds to
switch a lot of filesystems to generic_...xattr(); no complications
there.
After that initial xattr work, the series then does the following:
- untangle security_d_instantiate()
- convert a bunch of open-coded lookup_one_len_unlocked() to calls of
that thing; one such place (in overlayfs) actually yields a trivial
conflict with overlayfs fixes later in the cycle - overlayfs ended
up switching to a variant of lookup_one_len_unlocked() sans the
permission checks. I would've dropped that commit (it gets
overridden on merge from #ovl-fixes in #for-next; proper resolution
is to use the variant in mainline fs/overlayfs/super.c), but I
didn't want to rebase the damn thing - it was fairly late in the
cycle...
- some filesystems had managed to depend on lookup/lookup exclusion
for *fs-internal* data structures in a way that would break if we
relaxed the VFS exclusion. Fixing hadn't been hard, fortunately.
- core of that series - parallel lookup machinery, replacing
->i_mutex with rwsem, making lookup_slow() take it only shared. At
that point lookups happen in parallel; lookups on the same name
wait for the in-progress one to be done with that dentry.
Surprisingly little code, at that - almost all of it is in
fs/dcache.c, with fs/namei.c changes limited to lookup_slow() -
making it use the new primitive and actually switching to locking
shared.
- parallel readdir stuff - first of all, we provide the exclusion on
per-struct file basis, same as we do for read() vs lseek() for
regular files. That takes care of most of the needed exclusion in
readdir/readdir; however, these guys are trickier than lookups, so
I went for switching them one-by-one. To do that, a new method
'->iterate_shared()' is added and filesystems are switched to it
as they are either confirmed to be OK with shared lock on directory
or fixed to be OK with that. I hope to kill the original method
come next cycle (almost all in-tree filesystems are switched
already), but it's still not quite finished.
- several filesystems get switched to parallel readdir. The
interesting part here is dealing with dcache preseeding by readdir;
that needs minor adjustment to be safe with directory locked only
shared.
Most of the filesystems doing that got switched to in those
commits. Important exception: NFS. Turns out that NFS folks, with
their, er, insistence on VFS getting the fuck out of the way of the
Smart Filesystem Code That Knows How And What To Lock(tm) have
grown the locking of their own. They had their own homegrown
rwsem, with lookup/readdir/atomic_open being *writers* (sillyunlink
is the reader there). Of course, with VFS getting the fuck out of
the way, as requested, the actual smarts of the smart filesystem
code etc. had become exposed...
- do_last/lookup_open/atomic_open cleanups. As the result, open()
without O_CREAT locks the directory only shared. Including the
->atomic_open() case. Backmerge from #for-linus in the middle of
that - atomic_open() fix got brought in.
- then comes NFS switch to saner (VFS-based ;-) locking, killing the
homegrown "lookup and readdir are writers" kinda-sorta rwsem. All
exclusion for sillyunlink/lookup is done by the parallel lookups
mechanism. Exclusion between sillyunlink and rmdir is a real rwsem
now - rmdir being the writer.
Result: NFS lookups/readdirs/O_CREAT-less opens happen in parallel
now.
- the rest of the series consists of switching a lot of filesystems
to parallel readdir; in a lot of cases ->llseek() gets simplified
as well. One backmerge in there (again, #for-linus - rockridge
fix)"
