The purpose of virtio-9p-test is to test the virtio-9p device, especially
the 9p server state machine. We don't really care what fsdev backend we're
using. Moreover, if we want to be able to test the flush request or a
device reset with in-flights I/O, it is close to impossible to achieve
with a physical backend because we cannot ask it reliably to put an I/O
on hold at a specific point in time.
Fortunately, we can do that with the synthetic backend, which allows to
register callbacks on read/write accesses to a specific file. This will
be used by a later patch to test the 9P flush request.
The walk request test is converted to using the synth backend.

# Background
I was investigating spurious non-deterministic EINTR returns from
various 9p file system operations in a Linux guest served from the
qemu 9p server.
## EINTR, ERESTARTSYS and the linux kernel
When a signal arrives that the Linux kernel needs to deliver to user-space
while a given thread is blocked (in the 9p case waiting for a reply to its
request in 9p_client_rpc -> wait_event_interruptible), it asks whatever
driver is currently running to abort its current operation (in the 9p case
causing the submission of a TFLUSH message) and return to user space.
In these situations, the error message reported is generally ERESTARTSYS.
If the userspace processes specified SA_RESTART, this means that the
system call will get restarted upon completion of the signal handler
delivery (assuming the signal handler doesn't modify the process state
in complicated ways not relevant here). If SA_RESTART is not specified,
ERESTARTSYS gets translated to EINTR and user space is expected to handle
the restart itself.
## The 9p TFLUSH command
The 9p TFLUSH commands requests that the server abort an ongoing operation.
The man page [1] specifies:
```
If it recognizes oldtag as the tag of a pending transaction, it should
abort any pending response and discard that tag.
[...]
When the client sends a Tflush, it must wait to receive the corresponding
Rflush before reusing oldtag for subsequent messages. If a response to the
flushed request is received before the Rflush, the client must honor the
response as if it had not been flushed, since the completed request may
signify a state change in the server
```
In particular, this means that the server must not send a reply with the
orignal tag in response to the cancellation request, because the client is
obligated to interpret such a reply as a coincidental reply to the original
request.
# The bug
When qemu receives a TFlush request, it sets the `cancelled` flag on the
relevant pdu. This flag is periodically checked, e.g. in
`v9fs_co_name_to_path`, and if set, the operation is aborted and the error
is set to EINTR. However, the server then violates the spec, by returning
to the client an Rerror response, rather than discarding the message
entirely. As a result, the client is required to assume that said Rerror
response is a result of the original request, not a result of the
cancellation and thus passes the EINTR error back to user space.
This is not the worst thing it could do, however as discussed above, the
correct error code would have been ERESTARTSYS, such that user space
programs with SA_RESTART set get correctly restarted upon completion of
the signal handler.
Instead, such programs get spurious EINTR results that they were not
expecting to handle.
It should be noted that there are plenty of user space programs that do not
set SA_RESTART and do not correctly handle EINTR either. However, that is
then a userspace bug. It should also be noted that this bug has been
mitigated by a recent commit to the Linux kernel [2], which essentially
prevents the kernel from sending Tflush requests unless the process is about
to die (in which case the process likely doesn't care about the response).
Nevertheless, for older kernels and to comply with the spec, I believe this
change is beneficial.
# Implementation
The fix is fairly simple, just skipping notification of a reply if
the pdu was previously cancelled. We do however, also notify the transport
layer that we're doing this, so it can clean up any resources it may be
holding. I also added a new trace event to distinguish
operations that caused an error reply from those that were cancelled.
One complication is that we only omit sending the message on EINTR errors in
order to avoid confusing the rest of the code (which may assume that a
client knows about a fid if it sucessfully passed it off to pud_complete
without checking for cancellation status). This does mean that if the server
acts upon the cancellation flag, it always needs to set err to EINTR. I
believe this is true of the current code.

ls: cannot access 'a/b/b': No such file or directory
a b c
instead of the expected:
$ ls a/b
c
This is a regression introduced by commit f57f5878578a;
local_name_to_path() now resolves ".." and "." in paths,
and v9fs_do_readdir_with_stat()->stat_to_v9stat() then
copies the basename of the resulting path to the response.
With the example above, this means that "." and ".." are
turned into "b" and "a" respectively...
stat_to_v9stat() currently assumes it is passed a full
canonicalized path and uses it to do two different things:
1) to pass it to v9fs_co_readlink() in case the file is a symbolic
link
2) to set the name field of the V9fsStat structure to the basename
part of the given path
It only has two users: v9fs_stat() and v9fs_do_readdir_with_stat().
v9fs_stat() really needs 1) and 2) to be performed since it starts
with the full canonicalized path stored in the fid. It is different
for v9fs_do_readdir_with_stat() though because the name we want to
put into the V9fsStat structure is the d_name field of the dirent
actually (ie, we want to keep the "." and ".." special names). So,
we only need 1) in this case.
This patch hence adds a basename argument to stat_to_v9stat(), to
be used to set the name field of the V9fsStat structure, and moves
the basename logic to v9fs_stat().

if openat_file() already adds O_NOFOLLOW to the flags, this patch makes

This function has to ensure it doesn't follow a symlink that could be used
to escape the virtfs directory. This could be easily achieved if fchmodat()
on linux honored the AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flag as described in POSIX, but
it doesn't. There was a tentative to implement a new fchmodat2() syscall
with the correct semantics:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9596301/
but it didn't gain much momentum. Also it was suggested to look at an O_PATH
based solution in the first place.
The current implementation covers most use-cases, but it notably fails if:
- the target path has access rights equal to 0000 (openat() returns EPERM),
=> once you've done chmod(0000) on a file, you can never chmod() again
- the target path is UNIX domain socket (openat() returns ENXIO)
=> bind() of UNIX domain sockets fails if the file is on 9pfs
The solution is to use O_PATH: openat() now succeeds in both cases, and we
can ensure the path isn't a symlink with fstat(). The associated entry in
"/proc/self/fd" can hence be safely passed to the regular chmod() syscall.
The previous behavior is kept for older systems that don't have O_PATH.

paths unless they end with '.' or '..', because we cannot create the
corresponding file in the metadata directory.
This patch ensures that '.' and '..' are resolved in all paths.
The core code only passes path elements (no '/') to the backend, with
the notable exception of the '/' path, which refers to the virtfs root.
This patch preserves the current behavior of converting it to '.' so
that it can be passed to "*at()" syscalls ('/' would mean the host root).

These v9fs_co_name_to_path() call sites have always been around. I guess
no care was taken to check the return value because the name_to_path
operation could never fail at the time. This is no longer true: the
handle and synth backends can already fail this operation, and so will the
local backend soon.
