F2FS has a copy of "post read processing" code using which encrypted
file data is decrypted. This commit replaces it to make use of the
generic read_callbacks facility.

I remember that previously Jaegeuk had mentioned f2fs will support compression
later, and it needs to reuse 'post read processing' fwk.

There is very initial version of compression feature in below link:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/chao/linux.git/log/?h=compression

So my concern is how can we uplift the most common parts of this fwk into vfs,
and meanwhile keeping the ability and flexibility when introducing private
feature/step in specified filesytem(now f2fs)?

According to current f2fs compression's requirement, maybe we can expand to

- support callback to let filesystem set the function for the flow in
decompression/verity/decryption step.
- support to use individual/common workqueue according the parameter.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Hi,

F2FS can be made to use fscrypt's queue for decryption and hence can reuse
"read callbacks" code for decrypting data.

For decompression, we could have a STEP_MISC where we invoke a FS provided
callback function for FS specific post read processing? 

Something like the following can be implemented in read_callbacks(),
	  case STEP_MISC:
		  if (ctx->enabled_steps & (1 << STEP_MISC)) {
			  /*
			    ctx->fs_misc() must process bio in a workqueue
			    and later invoke read_callbacks() with
			    bio->bi_private's value as an argument.
			  */
			  ctx->fs_misc(ctx->bio);
			  return;
		  }
		  ctx->cur_step++;

The fs_misc() callback can be passed in by the filesystem when invoking
read_callbacks_setup_bio().

Hi Eric and Ted,

Looks like F2FS requires a lot more flexiblity than what can be offered by
read callbacks i.e.

1. F2FS wants to make use of its own workqueue for decryption, verity and
   decompression.
2. F2FS' decompression code is not an FS independent entity like fscrypt and
   fsverity. Hence they would need Filesystem specific callback functions to
   be invoked from "read callbacks". 

Hence I would suggest that we should drop F2FS changes made in this
patchset. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Add a word, I have some little concern about post read procession order
a bit as I mentioned before, because I'd like to move common EROFS
decompression code out in the future as well for other fses to use
after we think it's mature enough.

It seems the current code mainly addresses eliminating duplicated code,
therefore I have no idea about that...

Thanks,

FYI. Just a minor concern about its flexibility, not big though.

Hi,

Yes, something like this, can we just use STEP_DECOMPRESS and fs_decompress(),
not sure, I doubt this interface may has potential user which has compression
feature.

One more concern is that to avoid more context switch, maybe we can merge all
background works into one workqueue if there is no conflict when call wants to.

static void bio_post_read_processing(struct bio_post_read_ctx *ctx)
 {
	switch (++ctx->cur_step) {
	case STEP_DECRYPT:
		if (ctx->enabled_steps & (1 << STEP_DECRYPT)) {
...
			if (ctx->separated_wq)
				return;
		}
		ctx->cur_step++;
		/* fall-through */
	case STEP_DECOMPRESS:
...
	default:
		__read_end_io(ctx->bio);

Actually, we should chat.  I was actually thinking about "borrowing"
code from erofs to provide ext4-specific compression.  I was really
impressed with the efficiency goals in the erofs design[1] when I
reviewed the Usenix ATC paper, and as the saying goes, the best
artists know how to steal from the best.  :-)

[1] https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc19/presentation/gao

My original specific thinking was to do code reuse by copy and paste,
simply because it was simpler, and I have limited time to work on it.
But if you are interested in making the erofs pipeline reusable by
other file systems, and have the time to do the necessary code
refactoring, I'd love to work with you on that.

It should be noted that the f2fs developers have been working on their
own compression scheme that was going to be f2fs-specific, unlike the
file system generic approach used with fsverity and fscrypt.

My expectation is that we will need to modify the read pipeling code
to support compression.  That's true whether we are looking at the
existing file system-specific code used by ext4 and f2fs or in some
combined work such as what Chandan has proposed.

Cheers,

That's probably the best way to go for now.  My one concern is that it
means that only ext4 will be using your framework.  I could imagine
that some people might argue that should just move the callback scheme
into ext4 code as opposed to leaving it in fscrypt --- at least until
we can find other file systems where we can show that it will be
useful for those other file systems.

(Perhaps a useful experiment would be to have someone implement patches
to support fscrypt and fsverity in ext2 --- the patch might or might
not be accepted for upstream inclusion, but it would be useful to
demonstrate how easy it is to add fscrypt and fsverity.)

The other thing to consider is that there has been some discussion
about adding generalized support for I/O submission to the iomap
library.  It might be that if that work is accepted, support for
fscrypt and fsverity would be a requirement for ext4 to use that
portion of iomap's functionality.  So in that eventuality, it might be
that we'll want to move your read callbacks code into iomap, or we'll
need to rework the read callbacks code so it can work with iomap.

But this is all work for the future.  I'm a firm believe that the
perfect should not be the enemy of the good, and that none of this
should be a fundamental obstacle in having your code upstream.

Cheers,

I also guessed it's you reviewed our work as well from some written words :)
(even though it's analymous...) and I personally think there are some
useful stuffs in our EROFS effort.

Yes, I have interest in making the erofs pipeline for generic fses.
Now I'm still investigating sequential read on very high speed NVME
(like SAMSUNG 970pro, one thread seq read >3GB/s), it seems it still
has some optimization space.

And then I will do that work for generic fses as well... (but the first
thing I want to do is getting erofs out of staging, as Greg said [1])

Metadata should be designed for each fs like ext4, but maybe not flexible
and compacted as EROFS, therefore it could be some extra metadata
overhead than EROFS.

I think either form is fine with me. :) But it seems that is some minor
which tree we will work on (Maybe Chandan's work will be merged then).

The first thing I need to do is to tidy up the code, and making it more
general, and then it will be very easy for fses to integrate :)

I also have to raise a flag on this. Doesn't this patch series try to get rid
of redundant work? What'd be the rationale, if it only supports ext4?

How about generalizing the framework to support generic_post_read and per-fs
post_read for fscrypt/fsverity/... selectively?

This patchset gets encryption working with subpage blocksize by making
relevant changes in the generic code (i.e. do_mpage_readpage() and
block_read_full_page()) and removing duplicate code from ext4
(i.e. ext4_readpage() and friends). Without these changes the only way to get
subpage blocksize support was to add more duplicate code into Ext4 i.e. import
a copy of block_read_full_page() into Ext4 and make necessary edits to support
encryption.

So this patchset actually does help in removing exiting duplicate code in Ext4
and also prevents addition of more such code.

I am not sure if read callbacks can be made flexible enough to support the
above use cases. fscrypt and fsverity already provide workqueues and any new
post processing code added should follow the same convention. I see
that F2FS use case is special since,
1. It uses its own workqueues.
2. Decompression code inside F2FS isn't written as an FS independent subsystem
   like how fscrypt and fsverity are implemented.

To summarize, I believe the users of read callbacks should follow the
conventions set by fscrypt/fsverity and new post processing code that needs to
be plugged into read callbacks should provide APIs similar to
fscrypt/fsverity. Otherwise the state machine logic implemented by read
callbacks will get complex/convoluted.
