Hi Christian, Steve, Here are some miscellaneous fixes and changes for netfslib and cifs, if you could consider pulling them. All the bugs fixed were observed in cifs, so they should probably go through the cifs tree unless Christian would much prefer for them to go through the VFS tree. Many of these were found because a bug in Samba was causing smbd to crash and restart after about 1-2s and this was vigorously and abruptly exercising the netfslib retry paths. Subsequent testing of the cifs RDMA support showed up some more bugs, for which fixes are also included here. First, there are some netfs fixes: (1) Fix a hang due to missing case in final DIO read result collection not breaking out of a loop if the request finished, but there were no subrequests being processed and NETFS_RREQ_ALL_QUEUED wasn't yet set. (2) Fix a double put of the netfs_io_request struct if completion happened in the pause loop. (3) Provide some helpers to abstract out NETFS_RREQ_IN_PROGRESS flag wrangling. (4) Fix infinite looping in netfs_wait_for_pause/request() which wa caused by a loop waiting for NETFS_RREQ_ALL_QUEUED to get set - but which wouldn't get set until the looping function returned. This uses patch (3) above. (5) Fix a ref leak on an extra subrequest inserted into a request's list of subreqs because more subreq records were needed for retrying than were needed for the original request (say, for instance, that the amount of cifs credit available was reduced and, subsequently, the ops had to be smaller). Then a bunch of cifs fixes, some of which are from other people: (6-8) cifs: Fix various RPC callbacks to set NETFS_SREQ_NEED_RETRY if a subrequest fails retriably. (9) Fix a regression with SMB symlinks. (10) Fix a warning in the workqueue code when reconnecting a channel. (11) Fix smbd_post_send_iter() to correctly respect the max_send_size and to transmit all the data. (12) Fix reading into an ITER_FOLIOQ from the smbdirect code. (13) Fix the smbd_response slab to allow copy_to_iter() to be used on it without incurring a bug from the usercopy hardening code. (14) Fix a potential deadlock during channel reconnection. And finally a couple of patches to improve tracing output, but that should otherwise not affect functionality: (15) Renumber the NETFS_RREQ_* flags to make the hex values easier to interpret by eye, including moving the main status flags down to the lowest bits, with IN_PROGRESS in bit 0. (16) Update the tracepoints in a number of ways, including adding more tracepoints into the cifs read/write RPC callback so that differend MID_RESPONSE_* values can be differentiated. Those last two could wait for the next merge window.
