Management of the lifetime of afs_cell struct has some problems due to the
usage counter being used to determine whether objects of that type are in
use in addition to whether anyone might be interested in the structure.
This is made trickier by cell objects being cached for a period of time in
case they're quickly reused as they hold the result of a setup process that
may be slow (DNS lookups, AFS RPC ops).
Problems include the cached root volume from alias resolution pinning its
parent cell record, rmmod occasionally hanging and occasionally producing
assertion failures.
Fix this by splitting the count of active users from the struct reference
count. Things then work as follows:
(1) The cell cache keeps +1 on the cell's activity count and this has to
be dropped before the cell can be removed. afs_manage_cell() tries to
exchange the 1 to a 0 with the cells_lock write-locked, and if
successful, the record is removed from the net->cells.
(2) One struct ref is 'owned' by the activity count. That is put when the
active count is reduced to 0 (final_destruction label).
(3) A ref can be held on a cell whilst it is queued for management on a
work queue without confusing the active count. afs_queue_cell() is
added to wrap this.
(4) The queue's ref is dropped at the end of the management. This is
split out into a separate function, afs_manage_cell_work().
(5) The root volume record is put after a cell is removed (at the
final_destruction label) rather then in the RCU destruction routine.
(6) Volumes hold struct refs, but aren't active users.
(7) Both counts are displayed in /proc/net/afs/cells.
There are some management function changes:
(*) afs_put_cell() now just decrements the refcount and triggers the RCU
destruction if it becomes 0. It no longer sets a timer to have the
manager do this.
(*) afs_use_cell() and afs_unuse_cell() are added to increase and decrease
the active count. afs_unuse_cell() sets the management timer.
(*) afs_queue_cell() is added to queue a cell with approprate refs.
There are also some other fixes:
(*) Don't let /proc/net/afs/cells access a cell's vllist if it's NULL.
(*) Make sure that candidate cells in lookups are properly destroyed
rather than being simply kfree'd. This ensures the bits it points to
are destroyed also.
(*) afs_dec_cells_outstanding() is now called in cell destruction rather
than at "final_destruction". This ensures that cell->net is still
valid to the end of the destructor.
(*) As a consequence of the previous two changes, move the increment of
net->cells_outstanding that was at the point of insertion into the
tree to the allocation routine to correctly balance things.
