In v1.25-49-gf6746275, we adjusted the default TCP keepalive
value for clients from 10s to 60s. The motivation for doing so
was to allow the system to withstand an - at that time - unknown
networking issue that caused intermittent fencing/disconnects.
It was later determined that lock recovery stalls were the culprit,
and those were largely addressed by ca. v1.26-21-gf0c79966 which
fixes the issue at the root of the problem. The increase from
10s to 60s however was not reverted.
We are now seeing issues when scoutfs is deployed as multiple
filesystem mounts on a cluster where e.g. the server is dropped
for a fencing test - causing a non-leader node to take over from
the fenced server. It will issue new fence requests for clients
that were previously connected in 30 seconds. But with a 60sec
TCP timeout value, any client that is still up will wait silently
for the fenced server, until the new leader fences them. This leaves
the cluster degraded in case of a 3-node quorum.
The precise timeline:
- 0sec: nmcli down on node0
- 10sec: new election issued, node1 wins, node2 remains follower
- 15sec: node0 fenced (quorum old leader fence)
- 45sec: node1 fences clients that failed to recover
never reached:
- 60sec: node2 client reconnect due to TCP timeout
In our scoutfs testing we never see this because we just call umount
in our testing script unconditionally. In a multi-fs scenario with
real fencing this is never done, and so the cluster degrades almost
entirely consistently.
Drop the value to 24sec. The new value is well below the highest
acceptable value: 45sec. We don't want to lower it too much, and we
also don't want it to be a multiple of 15/10 to avoid concurrent
intervals causing "flapping" or waves of events excluding. 24s fits
well between the minimum of 15 and maximum of 45 and isn't a straight
factor or multiple of 10, 15, or 30.
Test results: on my 3-node 3-fs setup, this 100% recovered all 3
fs's without degrading the cluster. In 1/20 tests I had to re-start
2 nodes (a "flap") in succession to recover. In the rest of the tests,
the cluster recovered as expected.

RHEL7 was the only conditional user of this define, but since
support for that is removed, these can be dropped.

scoutfs_rename2 was a thin shim that validated flags and forwarded
to scoutfs_rename_common. It existed because the old el7
RHEL_IOPS_WRAPPER path used a non-flag-taking .rename op alongside
.rename2; with that path gone there is only one rename method,
and the wrapper has no purpose.
Move the RENAME_NOREPLACE flag validation into scoutfs_rename_common
and point the directory inode_operations .rename slot at it directly.
The symlink inode_operations already used scoutfs_rename_common, so
this also makes symlink rename consistently reject unknown flags
instead of silently accepting them.

el8 already provides stack_trace_save() and stack_trace_print()
in linux/stacktrace.h, so the legacy save_stack_trace/print_stack_trace
fallback inlines are dead. Drop the detection stanza and the inlines.

el8 already provides vm_fault_t and vmf_error(), so the fallback
typedef and inline are dead. Drop the detection stanza and the
two function-signature ifdefs in data.c that switched between the
pre-v4.11 and modern fault handler prototypes.

We still need to keep KC_GENERIC_PERFORM_WRITE_KIOCB_IOV_ITER for
el8. So kc_generic_perform_write remains in place for now.

This is a pre-el7 remnant, possibly from a really old rhel9
version, and was already effectively a stub.

Scoutfs has supported posix ACLs through the xattr handler table,
which allowed NFS to fetch them through this sideband, which worked
for older kernels.
With recent changes we've pulled in .get_acl because the mainline
kernel is changing how ACL ops are called. But we still left .set_acl
unreachable. This meant that on el9.7 nfs clients could now reach
.get_acl, but still not set them.
With this change, we're finally exposing .set_acl consistently
across all el releases and allowing nfs clients to both get and set
posix ACLs.

El9.8 backported the upstream v6.15.* rename of from_timer to
timer_container_of. Switch the two callers in fence.c and recov.c
to the new style and add a simple kcompat define for older kernels.

Ramps up data preallocation based on the number of online
blocks. This results in a simple 2<<n block allocation pattern
until n=11 (2048) - the default value of data_prealloc_blocks.

When scoutfs_setattr truncates a file with offline extents, it unlocks
the inode lock before calling scoutfs_data_wait to wait for the data
to be staged. If data_wait returns any error, the code jumps to 'goto
out' which calls scoutfs_unlock again, thus double-unlocking the lock.

A quota check holds the quota cluster lock for READ and marks the
cached ruleset EBUSY while loading rules. A quota mod on the same
mount holds the lock for WRITE (compatible with the local READ)
and calls scoutfs_quota_invalidate(), tripping
BUG_ON(rs == ERR_PTR(-EBUSY)).
Make invalidate skip EBUSY so the reader's claim is preserved, and
have scoutfs_quota_mod_rule wait for the reader to finish before
calling invalidate. Without the wait, the in-flight reader would
publish its stale ruleset after invalidate runs, leaving the cache
stale until the next invalidation.

When searching for the next least merge range we need to sweep all the
stored items because they're interleaved with respect to key sorting
because we've clobbered the zone.
To search all of them we need to start from 0, not from the caller's
start key after setting the zone. If the caller happens to provide a
start key with a small zone but large other fields (totl keys with
sufficiently large identifiers) we can miss ranges.
