We can't return with VM_FAULT_SIGBUS | VM_FAULT_LOCKED; the core
code will not unlock the folio in this instance. Introduce a new
"unlock" error exit to handle this case. Use it to handle
the "folio is truncated" check, and change the "writeback interrupted
by a fatal signal" to do a NOPAGE exit instead of letting the core
code install the folio currently under writeback before killing the
process.

netfs, cifs: Fix mtime/ctime update for mmapped writes

The cifs flag CIFS_INO_MODIFIED_ATTR, which indicates that the mtime and
ctime need to be written back on close, got taken over by netfs as
NETFS_ICTX_MODIFIED_ATTR to avoid the need to call a function pointer to
set it.

The flag gets set correctly on buffered writes, but doesn't get set by
netfs_page_mkwrite(), leading to occasional failures in generic/080 and
generic/215.

Fix this by setting the flag in netfs_page_mkwrite().

Instead of inventing a custom way to conditionally enable debugging,
just make use of pr_debug(), which also has dynamic debugging facilities
and is more likely known to someone who hunts a problem in the netfs
code. Also drop the module parameter netfs_debug which didn't have any
effect without further source changes. (The variable netfs_debug was
only used in #ifdef blocks for cpp vars that don't exist; Note that
CONFIG_NETFS_DEBUG isn't settable via kconfig, a variable with that name
never existed in the mainline and is probably just taken over (and
renamed) from similar custom debug logging implementations.)

cifs: Implement netfslib hooks

Provide implementation of the netfslib hooks that will be used by netfslib
to ask cifs to set up and perform operations. Of particular note are

(*) cifs_clamp_length() - This is used to negotiate the size of the next
subrequest in a read request, taking into account the credit available
and the rsize. The credits are attached to the subrequest.

(*) cifs_req_issue_read() - This is used to issue a subrequest that has
been set up and clamped.

(*) cifs_prepare_write() - This prepares to fill a subrequest by picking a
channel, reopening the file and requesting credits so that we can set
the maximum size of the subrequest and also sets the maximum number of
segments if we're doing RDMA.

(*) cifs_issue_write() - This releases any unneeded credits and issues an
asynchronous data write for the contiguous slice of file covered by
the subrequest. This should possibly be folded in to all
->async_writev() ops and that called directly.

(*) cifs_begin_writeback() - This gets the cached writable handle through
which we do writeback (this does not affect writethrough, unbuffered
or direct writes).

At this point, cifs is not wired up to actually *use* netfslib; that will
be done in a subsequent patch.

netfs: New writeback implementation

The current netfslib writeback implementation creates writeback requests of
contiguous folio data and then separately tiles subrequests over the space
twice, once for the server and once for the cache. This creates a few
issues:

(1) Every time there's a discontiguity or a change between writing to only
one destination or writing to both, it must create a new request.
This makes it harder to do vectored writes.

(2) The folios don't have the writeback mark removed until the end of the
request - and a request could be hundreds of megabytes.

(3) In future, I want to support a larger cache granularity, which will
require aggregation of some folios that contain unmodified data (which
only need to go to the cache) and some which contain modifications
(which need to be uploaded and stored to the cache) - but, currently,
these are treated as discontiguous.

There's also a move to get everyone to use writeback_iter() to extract
writable folios from the pagecache. That said, currently writeback_iter()
has some issues that make it less than ideal:

(1) there's no way to cancel the iteration, even if you find a "temporary"
error that means the current folio and all subsequent folios are going
to fail;

(2) there's no way to filter the folios being written back - something
that will impact Ceph with it's ordered snap system;

(3) and if you get a folio you can't immediately deal with (say you need
to flush the preceding writes), you are left with a folio hanging in
the locked state for the duration, when really we should unlock it and
relock it later.

In this new implementation, I use writeback_iter() to pump folios,
progressively creating two parallel, but separate streams and cleaning up
the finished folios as the subrequests complete. Either or both streams
can contain gaps, and the subrequests in each stream can be of variable
size, don't need to align with each other and don't need to align with the
folios.

Indeed, subrequests can cross folio boundaries, may cover several folios or
a folio may be spanned by multiple folios, e.g.:

+---+---+-----+-----+---+----------+
Folios: | | | | | | |
+---+---+-----+-----+---+----------+

+------+------+ +----+----+
Upload: | | |.....| | |
+------+------+ +----+----+

+------+------+------+------+------+
Cache: | | | | | |
+------+------+------+------+------+

The progressive subrequest construction permits the algorithm to be
preparing both the next upload to the server and the next write to the
cache whilst the previous ones are already in progress. Throttling can be
applied to control the rate of production of subrequests - and, in any
case, we probably want to write them to the server in ascending order,
particularly if the file will be extended.

Content crypto can also be prepared at the same time as the subrequests and
run asynchronously, with the prepped requests being stalled until the
crypto catches up with them. This might also be useful for transport
crypto, but that happens at a lower layer, so probably would be harder to
pull off.

The algorithm is split into three parts:

(1) The issuer. This walks through the data, packaging it up, encrypting
it and creating subrequests. The part of this that generates
subrequests only deals with file positions and spans and so is usable
for DIO/unbuffered writes as well as buffered writes.

(2) The collector. This asynchronously collects completed subrequests,
unlocks folios, frees crypto buffers and performs any retries. This
runs in a work queue so that the issuer can return to the caller for
writeback (so that the VM can have its kswapd thread back) or async
writes.

(3) The retryer. This pauses the issuer, waits for all outstanding
subrequests to complete and then goes through the failed subrequests
to reissue them. This may involve reprepping them (with cifs, the
credits must be renegotiated, and a subrequest may need splitting),
and doing RMW for content crypto if there's a conflicting change on
the server.

[!] Note that some of the functions are prefixed with "new_" to avoid
clashes with existing functions. These will be renamed in a later patch
that cuts over to the new algorithm.

netfs: Replace PG_fscache by setting folio->private and marking dirty

When dirty data is being written to the cache, setting/waiting on/clearing
the fscache flag is always done in tandem with setting/waiting on/clearing
the writeback flag. The netfslib buffered write routines wait on and set
both flags and the write request cleanup clears both flags, so the fscache
flag is almost superfluous.

The reason it isn't superfluous is because the fscache flag is also used to
indicate that data just read from the server is being written to the cache.
The flag is used to prevent a race involving overlapping direct-I/O writes
to the cache.

Change this to indicate that a page is in need of being copied to the cache
by placing a magic value in folio->private and marking the folios dirty.
Then when the writeback code sees a folio marked in this way, it only
writes it to the cache and not to the server.

If a folio that has this magic value set is modified, the value is just
replaced and the folio will then be uplodaded too.

With this, PG_fscache is no longer required by the netfslib core, 9p and
afs.

Ceph and nfs, however, still need to use the old PG_fscache-based tracking.
To deal with this, a flag, NETFS_ICTX_USE_PGPRIV2, now has to be set on the
flags in the netfs_inode struct for those filesystems. This reenables the
use of PG_fscache in that inode. 9p and afs use the netfslib write helpers
so get switched over; cifs, for the moment, does page-by-page manual access
to the cache, so doesn't use PG_fscache and is unaffected.

This maintains cifs commit dbfdff402d89854126658376cbcb08363194d3cd ("smb3:

otherwise be removed by the cifs part of the netfs writeback rewrite.

netfs: Fix the pre-flush when appending to a file in writethrough mode

In netfs_perform_write(), when the file is marked NETFS_ICTX_WRITETHROUGH
or O_*SYNC or RWF_*SYNC was specified, write-through caching is performed
on a buffered file. When setting up for write-through, we flush any
conflicting writes in the region and wait for the write to complete,
failing if there's a write error to return.

The issue arises if we're writing at or above the EOF position because we
skip the flush and - more importantly - the wait. This becomes a problem
if there's a partial folio at the end of the file that is being written out
and we want to make a write to it too. Both the already-running write and
the write we start both want to clear the writeback mark, but whoever is
second causes a warning looking something like:

------------[ cut here ]------------
R=00000012: folio 11 is not under writeback
WARNING: CPU: 34 PID: 654 at fs/netfs/write_collect.c:105
...
CPU: 34 PID: 654 Comm: kworker/u386:27 Tainted: G S ...
...
Workqueue: events_unbound netfs_write_collection_worker
...
RIP: 0010:netfs_writeback_lookup_folio

Fix this by making the flush-and-wait unconditional. It will do nothing if
there are no folios in the pagecache and will return quickly if there are
no folios in the region specified.

Further, move the WBC attachment above the flush call as the flush is going
to attach a WBC and detach it again if it is not present - and since we
need one anyway we might as well share it.

netfs: Fix missing zero-length check in unbuffered write

Fix netfs_unbuffered_write_iter() to return immediately if
generic_write_checks() returns 0, indicating there's nothing to write.
Note that netfs_file_write_iter() already does this.

Also, whilst we're at it, put in checks for the size being zero before we
even take the locks. Note that generic_write_checks() can still reduce the
size to zero, so we still need that check.

Without this, a warning similar to the following is logged to dmesg:

netfs: Zero-sized write [R=1b6da]

and the syscall fails with EIO, e.g.:

/sbin/ldconfig.real: Writing of cache extension data failed: Input/output error

This can be reproduced on 9p by:

xfs_io -f -c 'pwrite 0 0' /xfstest.test/foo
