2019-05-16afs: Fix cell DNS lookupDavid Howells
Currently, once configured, AFS cells are looked up in the DNS at regular intervals - which is a waste of resources if those cells aren't being used. It also leads to a problem where cells preloaded, but not configured, before the network is brought up end up effectively statically configured with no VL servers and are unable to get any. Fix this by not doing the DNS lookup until the first time a cell is touched. It is waited for if we don't have any cached records yet, otherwise the DNS lookup to maintain the record is done in the background. This has the downside that the first time you touch a cell, you now have to wait for the upcall to do the required DNS lookups rather than them already being cached. Further, the record is not replaced if the old record has at least one server in it and the new record doesn't have any.

2019-05-15afs: Fix afs_cell records to always have a VL server list recordDavid Howells
Fix it such that afs_cell records always have a VL server list record attached, even if it's a dummy one, so that various checks can be removed. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2018-11-29afs: Fix missing net error handlingDavid Howells
kAFS can be given certain network errors (EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and ERFKILL) that it doesn't handle in its server/address rotation algorithms. They cause the probing and rotation to abort immediately rather than rotating. Fix this by: (1) Abstracting out the error prioritisation from the VL and FS rotation algorithms into a common function and expand usage into the server probing code. When multiple errors are available, this code selects the one we'd prefer to return. (2) Add handling for EADDRNOTAVAIL, EHOSTDOWN and ERFKILL.

2018-10-24afs: Probe multiple fileservers simultaneouslyDavid Howells
Send probes to all the unprobed fileservers in a fileserver list on all addresses simultaneously in an attempt to find out the fastest route whilst not getting stuck for 20s on any server or address that we don't get a reply from. This alleviates the problem whereby attempting to access a new server can take a long time because the rotation algorithm ends up rotating through all servers and addresses until it finds one that responds.

2018-10-24afs: Eliminate the address pointer from the address list cursorDavid Howells
Eliminate the address pointer from the address list cursor as it's redundant (ac->addrs[ac->index] can be used to find the same address) and address lists must be replaced rather than being rearranged, so is of limited value. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2018-10-24afs: Allow dumping of server cursor on operation failureDavid Howells
Provide an option to allow the file or volume location server cursor to be dumped if the rotation routine falls off the end without managing to contact a server. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2018-10-24afs: Implement VL server rotationDavid Howells
Track VL servers as independent entities rather than lumping all their addresses together into one set and implement server-level rotation by: (1) Add the concept of a VL server list, where each server has its own separate address list. This code is similar to the FS server list. (2) Use the DNS resolver to retrieve a set of servers and their associated addresses, ports, preference and weight ratings. (3) In the case of a legacy DNS resolver or an address list given directly through /proc/net/afs/cells, create a list containing just a dummy server record and attach all the addresses to that. (4) Implement a simple rotation policy, for the moment ignoring the priorities and weights assigned to the servers. (5) Show the address list through /proc/net/afs/<cell>/vlservers. This also displays the source and status of the data as indicated by the upcall. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
