Fuse allows the value of a symlink to change and this property is exploited
by some filesystems (e.g. CVMFS).
It has been observed, that sometimes after changing the symlink contents,
the value is truncated to the old size.
This is caused by fuse_getattr() racing with fuse_reverse_inval_inode().
fuse_reverse_inval_inode() updates the fuse_inode's attr_version, which
results in fuse_change_attributes() exiting before updating the cached
attributes
This is okay, as the cached attributes remain invalid and the next call to
fuse_change_attributes() will likely update the inode with the correct
values.
The reason this causes problems is that cached symlinks will be
returned through page_get_link(), which truncates the symlink to
inode->i_size. This is correct for filesystems that don't mutate
symlinks, but in this case it causes bad behavior.
The solution is to just remove this truncation. This can cause a
regression in a filesystem that relies on supplying a symlink larger than
the file size, but this is unlikely. If that happens we'd need to make
this behavior conditional.

This patch addresses an issue where some files in case-insensitive
directories become inaccessible due to changes in how the kernel
function, utf8_casefold(), generates case-folded strings from the
commit 5c26d2f1d3 ("unicode: Don't special case ignorable code
points").
There are good reasons why this change should be made; it's actually
quite stupid that Unicode seems to think that the characters ❤ and ❤️
should be casefolded. Unfortimately because of the backwards
compatibility issue, this commit was reverted in 231825b2e1.
This problem is addressed by instituting a brute-force linear fallback
if a lookup fails on case-folded directory, which does result in a
performance hit when looking up files affected by the changing how
thekernel treats ignorable Uniode characters, or when attempting to
look up non-existent file names. So this fallback can be disabled by
setting an encoding flag if in the future, the system administrator or
the manufacturer of a mobile handset or tablet can be sure that there
was no opportunity for a kernel to insert file names with incompatible
encodings.

This costs a strlen() call when instatianating a symlink.
Preferably it would be hidden behind VFS_WARN_ON (or compatible), but
there is no such facility at the moment. With the facility in place the
call can be patched out in production kernels.
In the meantime, since the cost is being paid unconditionally, use the
result to a fixup the bad caller.
This is not expected to persist in the long run (tm).
Sample splat:
bad length passed for symlink [/tmp/syz-imagegen43743633/file0/file0] (got 131109, expected 37)

The FMODE_NONOTIFY_* bits are a 2-bits mode. Open coding manipulation
of those bits is risky. Use an accessor file_set_fsnotify_mode() to
set the mode.
Rename file_set_fsnotify_mode() => file_set_fsnotify_mode_from_watchers()
to make way for the simple accessor name.

When a buffered write submitted with IOCB_DONTCACHE has been successfully

systems call generic_write_sync() for any successful buffered write
submission, hence add the logic here rather than needing to modify the
file system.

Works like filemap_fdatawrite_range(), except it's a non-integrity data
writeback and hence only starts writeback on the specified range. Will
help facilitate generically starting uncached writeback from
generic_write_sync(), as header dependencies preclude doing this inline
from fs.h.

Pull fsnotify pre-content notification support from Jan Kara:
"This introduces a new fsnotify event (FS_PRE_ACCESS) that gets
generated before a file contents is accessed.
The event is synchronous so if there is listener for this event, the
kernel waits for reply. On success the execution continues as usual,
on failure we propagate the error to userspace. This allows userspace
to fill in file content on demand from slow storage. The context in
which the events are generated has been picked so that we don't hold
any locks and thus there's no risk of a deadlock for the userspace
handler.
The new pre-content event is available only for users with global
CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (similarly to other parts of fanotify
functionality) and it is an administrator responsibility to make sure
the userspace event handler doesn't do stupid stuff that can DoS the
system.
Based on your feedback from the last submission, fsnotify code has
been improved and now file->f_mode encodes whether pre-content event
needs to be generated for the file so the fast path when nobody wants
pre-content event for the file just grows the additional file->f_mode
check. As a bonus this also removes the checks whether the old
FS_ACCESS event needs to be generated from the fast path. Also the
place where the event is generated during page fault has been moved so
now filemap_fault() generates the event if and only if there is no
uptodate folio in the page cache.
Also we have dropped FS_PRE_MODIFY event as current real-world users
of the pre-content functionality don't really use it so let's start
with the minimal useful feature set"

Pull vfs libfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This improves the stable directory offset behavior in various ways.
Stable offsets are needed so that NFS can reliably read directories on
filesystems such as tmpfs:
- Improve the end-of-directory detection
According to getdents(3), the d_off field in each returned
directory entry points to the next entry in the directory. The
d_off field in the last returned entry in the readdir buffer must
contain a valid offset value, but if it points to an actual
directory entry, then readdir/getdents can loop.
Introduce a specific fixed offset value that is placed in the d_off
field of the last entry in a directory. Some user space
applications assume that the EOD offset value is larger than the
offsets of real directory entries, so the largest valid offset
value is reserved for this purpose. This new value is never
allocated by simple_offset_add().
When ->iterate_dir() returns, getdents{64} inserts the ctx->pos
value into the d_off field of the last valid entry in the readdir
buffer. When it hits EOD, offset_readdir() sets ctx->pos to the EOD
offset value so the last entry is updated to point to the EOD
marker.
When trying to read the entry at the EOD offset, offset_readdir()
terminates immediately.
- Rely on d_children to iterate stable offset directories
Instead of using the mtree to emit entries in the order of their
offset values, use it only to map incoming ctx->pos to a starting
entry. Then use the directory's d_children list, which is already
maintained properly by the dcache, to find the next child to emit.
- Narrow the range of directory offset values returned by
simple_offset_add() to 3 .. (S32_MAX - 1) on all platforms. This
means the allocation behavior is identical on 32-bit systems,
64-bit systems, and 32-bit user space on 64-bit kernels. The new
range still permits over 2 billion concurrent entries per
directory.
- Return ENOSPC when the directory offset range is exhausted. Hitting
this error is almost impossible though.
- Remove the simple_offset_empty() helper"

simple_empty() and simple_offset_empty() perform the same task.
The latter's use as a canary to find bugs has not found any new
issues. A subsequent patch will remove the use of the mtree for
iterating directory contents, so revert back to using a similar
mechanism for determining whether a directory is indeed empty.
Only one such mechanism is ever needed.

When utilized it dodges strlen() in vfs_readlink(), giving about 1.5%
speed up when issuing readlink on /initrd.img on ext4.
Filesystems opt in by calling inode_set_cached_link() when creating an
inode.
The size is stored in a new union utilizing the same space as i_devices,
thus avoiding growing the struct or taking up any more space.
Churn-wise the current readlink_copy() helper is patched to accept the
size instead of calculating it.

Commit 2a010c4128 ("fs: don't block i_writecount during exec") removed
the legacy behavior of getting ETXTBSY on attempt to open and executable
file for write while it is being executed.
This commit was reverted because an application that depends on this
legacy behavior was broken by the change.
We need to allow HSM writing into executable files while executed to
fill their content on-the-fly.
To that end, disable the ETXTBSY legacy behavior for files that are
watched by pre-content events.
This change is not expected to cause regressions with existing systems
which do not have any pre-content event listeners.

The new FS_PRE_ACCESS permission event is similar to FS_ACCESS_PERM,
but it meant for a different use case of filling file content before
access to a file range, so it has slightly different semantics.
Generate FS_PRE_ACCESS/FS_ACCESS_PERM as two seperate events, so content
scanners could inspect the content filled by pre-content event handler.
Unlike FS_ACCESS_PERM, FS_PRE_ACCESS is also called before a file is
modified by syscalls as write() and fallocate().
FS_ACCESS_PERM is reported also on blockdev and pipes, but the new
pre-content events are only reported for regular files and dirs.
The pre-content events are meant to be used by hierarchical storage
managers that want to fill the content of files on first access.
There are some specific requirements from filesystems that could
be used with pre-content events, so add a flag for fs to opt-in
for pre-content events explicitly before they can be used.

Legacy inotify/fanotify listeners can add watches for events on inode,
parent or mount and expect to get events (e.g. FS_MODIFY) on files that
were already open at the time of setting up the watches.
fanotify permission events are typically used by Anti-malware sofware,
that is watching the entire mount and it is not common to have more that
one Anti-malware engine installed on a system.
To reduce the overhead of the fsnotify_file_perm() hooks on every file
access, relax the semantics of the legacy FAN_ACCESS_PERM event to generate
events only if there were *any* permission event listeners on the
filesystem at the time that the file was opened.
The new semantic is implemented by extending the FMODE_NONOTIFY bit into
two FMODE_NONOTIFY_* bits, that are used to store a mode for which of the
events types to report.
This is going to apply to the new fanotify pre-content events in order
to reduce the cost of the new pre-content event vfs hooks.

Pull tmpfs case folding updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds case-insensitive support for tmpfs.
The work contained in here adds support for case-insensitive file
names lookups in tmpfs. The main difference from other casefold
filesystems is that tmpfs has no information on disk, just on RAM, so
we can't use mkfs to create a case-insensitive tmpfs. For this
implementation, there's a mount option for casefolding. The rest of
the patchset follows a similar approach as ext4 and f2fs.
The use case for this feature is similar to the use case for ext4, to
better support compatibility layers (like Wine), particularly in
combination with sandboxing/container tools (like Flatpak).
Those containerization tools can share a subset of the host filesystem
with an application. In the container, the root directory and any
parent directories required for a shared directory are on tmpfs, with
the shared directories bind-mounted into the container's view of the
filesystem.
If the host filesystem is using case-insensitive directories, then the
application can do lookups inside those directories in a
case-insensitive way, without this needing to be implemented in
user-space. However, if the host is only sharing a subset of a
case-insensitive directory with the application, then the parent
directories of the mount point will be part of the container's root
tmpfs. When the application tries to do case-insensitive lookups of
those parent directories on a case-sensitive tmpfs, the lookup will
fail"

Pull vfs file updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains changes the changes for files for this cycle:
- Introduce a new reference counting mechanism for files.
As atomic_inc_not_zero() is implemented with a try_cmpxchg() loop
it has O(N^2) behaviour under contention with N concurrent
operations and it is in a hot path in __fget_files_rcu().
The rcuref infrastructures remedies this problem by using an
unconditional increment relying on safe- and dead zones to make
this work and requiring rcu protection for the data structure in
question. This not just scales better it also introduces overflow
protection.
However, in contrast to generic rcuref, files require a memory
barrier and thus cannot rely on *_relaxed() atomic operations and
also require to be built on atomic_long_t as having massive amounts
of reference isn't unheard of even if it is just an attack.
This adds a file specific variant instead of making this a generic
library.
This has been tested by various people and it gives consistent
improvement up to 3-5% on workloads with loads of threads.
- Add a fastpath for find_next_zero_bit(). Skip 2-levels searching
via find_next_zero_bit() when there is a free slot in the word that
contains the next fd. This improves pts/blogbench-1.1.0 read by 8%
and write by 4% on Intel ICX 160.
- Conditionally clear full_fds_bits since it's very likely that a bit
in full_fds_bits has been cleared during __clear_open_fds(). This
improves pts/blogbench-1.1.0 read up to 13%, and write up to 5% on
Intel ICX 160.
- Get rid of all lookup_*_fdget_rcu() variants. They were used to
lookup files without taking a reference count. That became invalid
once files were switched to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and now we're
always taking a reference count. Switch to an already existing
helper and remove the legacy variants.
- Remove pointless includes of <linux/fdtable.h>.
- Avoid cmpxchg() in close_files() as nobody else has a reference to
the files_struct at that point.
- Move close_range() into fs/file.c and fold __close_range() into it.
- Cleanup calling conventions of alloc_fdtable() and expand_files().
- Merge __{set,clear}_close_on_exec() into one.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Fixup and improve NLM and kNFSD file lock callbacks
Last year both GFS2 and OCFS2 had some work done to make their
locking more robust when exported over NFS. Unfortunately, part of
that work caused both NLM (for NFS v3 exports) and kNFSD (for
NFSv4.1+ exports) to no longer send lock notifications to clients
This in itself is not a huge problem because most NFS clients will
still poll the server in order to acquire a conflicted lock
It's important for NLM and kNFSD that they do not block their
kernel threads inside filesystem's file_lock implementations
because that can produce deadlocks. We used to make sure of this by
only trusting that posix_lock_file() can correctly handle blocking
lock calls asynchronously, so the lock managers would only setup
their file_lock requests for async callbacks if the filesystem did
not define its own lock() file operation
However, when GFS2 and OCFS2 grew the capability to correctly
handle blocking lock requests asynchronously, they started
signalling this behavior with EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK, and the check
for also trusting posix_lock_file() was inadvertently dropped, so
now most filesystems no longer produce lock notifications when
exported over NFS
Fix this by using an fop_flag which greatly simplifies the problem
and grooms the way for future uses by both filesystems and lock
managers alike
- Add a sysctl to delete the dentry when a file is removed instead of
making it a negative dentry
Commit 681ce86235 ("vfs: Delete the associated dentry when

associated dentry when a file is removed. However, this led to
performance regressions in specific benchmarks, such as
ilebench.sum_operations/s, prompting a revert in commit
4a4be1ad3a ("Revert "vfs: Delete the associated dentry when
deleting a file""). This reintroduces the concept conditionally

* Report the filesystem subtype in a new fs_subtype field to
e.g., report fuse filesystem subtypes
* Report the superblock source in a new sb_source field
* Add a new way to return filesystem specific mount options in an
option array that returns filesystem specific mount options
separated by zero bytes and unescaped. This allows caller's to
retrieve filesystem specific mount options and immediately pass
them to e.g., fsconfig() without having to unescape or split
them
* Report security (LSM) specific mount options in a separate
security option array. We don't lump them together with
filesystem specific mount options as security mount options are
generic and most users aren't interested in them
The format is the same as for the filesystem specific mount
option array

to give a hint to the scheduler, e.g., the Android binder driver.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.13.mgtime' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs multigrain timestamps from Christian Brauner:
"This is another try at implementing multigrain timestamps. This time
with significant help from the timekeeping maintainers to reduce the
performance impact.
Thomas provided a base branch that contains the required timekeeping
interfaces for the VFS. It serves as the base for the multi-grain
timestamp work:
- Multigrain timestamps allow the kernel to use fine-grained
timestamps when an inode's attributes is being actively observed
via ->getattr(). With this support, it's possible for a file to get
a fine-grained timestamp, and another modified after it to get a
coarse-grained stamp that is earlier than the fine-grained time. If
this happens then the files can appear to have been modified in
reverse order, which breaks VFS ordering guarantees.
To prevent this, a floor value is maintained for multigrain
timestamps. Whenever a fine-grained timestamp is handed out, record
it, and when later coarse-grained stamps are handed out, ensure
they are not earlier than that value. If the coarse-grained
timestamp is earlier than the fine-grained floor, return the floor
value instead.
The timekeeper changes add a static singleton atomic64_t into
timekeeper.c that is used to keep track of the latest fine-grained
time ever handed out. This is tracked as a monotonic ktime_t value
to ensure that it isn't affected by clock jumps. Because it is
updated at different times than the rest of the timekeeper object,
the floor value is managed independently of the timekeeper via a
cmpxchg() operation, and sits on its own cacheline.
Two new public timekeeper interfaces are added:
(1) ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64_mg() fills a timespec64 with the
later of the coarse-grained clock and the floor time
(2) ktime_get_real_ts64_mg() gets the fine-grained clock value,
and tries to swap it into the floor. A timespec64 is filled
with the result.
- The VFS has always used coarse-grained timestamps when updating the
ctime and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing
filesystems to optimize away a lot metadata updates, down to around
1 per jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.
Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting
via NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of
changes can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to
help the client decide when to invalidate the cache. Even with
NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support a
change attribute and are subject to the same problems with
timestamp granularity. Other applications have similar issues with
timestamps (e.g backup applications).
If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would
improve the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the
underlying filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata
updates.
This adds a way to only use fine-grained timestamps when they are
being actively queried. Use the (unused) top bit in
inode->i_ctime_nsec as a flag that indicates whether the current
timestamps have been queried via stat() or the like. When it's set,
we allow the kernel to use a fine-grained timestamp iff it's
necessary to make the ctime show a different value.
This solves the problem of being able to distinguish the timestamp
between updates, but introduces a new problem: it's now possible
for a file being changed to get a fine-grained timestamp. A file
that is altered just a bit later can then get a coarse-grained one
that appears older than the earlier fine-grained time. This
violates timestamp ordering guarantees.
This is where the earlier mentioned timkeeping interfaces help. A
global monotonic atomic64_t value is kept that acts as a timestamp
floor. When we go to stamp a file, we first get the latter of the
current floor value and the current coarse-grained time. If the
inode ctime hasn't been queried then we just attempt to stamp it
with that value.
If it has been queried, then first see whether the current coarse
time is later than the existing ctime. If it is, then we accept
that value. If it isn't, then we get a fine-grained time and try to
swap that into the global floor. Whether that succeeds or fails, we
take the resulting floor time, convert it to realtime and try to
swap that into the ctime.
We take the result of the ctime swap whether it succeeds or fails,
since either is just as valid.
Filesystems can opt into this by setting the FS_MGTIME fstype flag.
Others should be unaffected (other than being subject to the same
floor value as multigrain filesystems)"

Port files to rely on file_ref reference to improve scaling and gain
overflow protection.
- We continue to WARN during get_file() in case a file that is already
marked dead is revived as get_file() is only valid if the caller
already holds a reference to the file. This hasn't changed just the
check changes.
- The semantics for epoll and ttm's dmabuf usage have changed. Both
epoll and ttm synchronize with __fput() to prevent the underlying file
from beeing freed.
(1) epoll
Explaining epoll is straightforward using a simple diagram.
Essentially, the mutex of the epoll instance needs to be taken in both
__fput() and around epi_fget() preventing the file from being freed
while it is polled or preventing the file from being resurrected.
CPU1 CPU2
fput(file)
-> __fput(file)
-> eventpoll_release(file)
-> eventpoll_release_file(file)
mutex_lock(&ep->mtx)
epi_item_poll()
-> epi_fget()
-> file_ref_get(file)
mutex_unlock(&ep->mtx)
mutex_lock(&ep->mtx);
__ep_remove()
mutex_unlock(&ep->mtx);
-> kmem_cache_free(file)
(2) ttm dmabuf
This explanation is a bit more involved. A regular dmabuf file stashed
the dmabuf in file->private_data and the file in dmabuf->file:
file->private_data = dmabuf;
dmabuf->file = file;
The generic release method of a dmabuf file handles file specific
things:
f_op->release::dma_buf_file_release()
while the generic dentry release method of a dmabuf handles dmabuf
freeing including driver specific things:
dentry->d_release::dma_buf_release()
During ttm dmabuf initialization in ttm_object_device_init() the ttm
driver copies the provided struct dma_buf_ops into a private location:
struct ttm_object_device {
spinlock_t object_lock;
struct dma_buf_ops ops;
void (*dmabuf_release)(struct dma_buf *dma_buf);
struct idr idr;
};
ttm_object_device_init(const struct dma_buf_ops *ops)
{
// copy original dma_buf_ops in private location
tdev->ops = *ops;
// stash the release method of the original struct dma_buf_ops
tdev->dmabuf_release = tdev->ops.release;
// override the release method in the copy of the struct dma_buf_ops
// with ttm's own dmabuf release method
tdev->ops.release = ttm_prime_dmabuf_release;
}
When a new dmabuf is created the struct dma_buf_ops with the overriden
release method set to ttm_prime_dmabuf_release is passed in exp_info.ops:
DEFINE_DMA_BUF_EXPORT_INFO(exp_info);
exp_info.ops = &tdev->ops;
exp_info.size = prime->size;
exp_info.flags = flags;
exp_info.priv = prime;
The call to dma_buf_export() then sets
mutex_lock_interruptible(&prime->mutex);
dma_buf = dma_buf_export(&exp_info)
{
dmabuf->ops = exp_info->ops;
}
mutex_unlock(&prime->mutex);
which creates a new dmabuf file and then install a file descriptor to
it in the callers file descriptor table:
ret = dma_buf_fd(dma_buf, flags);
When that dmabuf file is closed we now get:
fput(file)
-> __fput(file)
-> f_op->release::dma_buf_file_release()
-> dput()
-> d_op->d_release::dma_buf_release()
-> dmabuf->ops->release::ttm_prime_dmabuf_release()
mutex_lock(&prime->mutex);
if (prime->dma_buf == dma_buf)
prime->dma_buf = NULL;
mutex_unlock(&prime->mutex);
Where we can see that prime->dma_buf is set to NULL. So when we have
the following diagram:
CPU1 CPU2
fput(file)
-> __fput(file)
-> f_op->release::dma_buf_file_release()
-> dput()
-> d_op->d_release::dma_buf_release()
-> dmabuf->ops->release::ttm_prime_dmabuf_release()
ttm_prime_handle_to_fd()
mutex_lock_interruptible(&prime->mutex)
dma_buf = prime->dma_buf
dma_buf && get_dma_buf_unless_doomed(dma_buf)
-> file_ref_get(dma_buf->file)
mutex_unlock(&prime->mutex);
mutex_lock(&prime->mutex);
if (prime->dma_buf == dma_buf)
prime->dma_buf = NULL;
mutex_unlock(&prime->mutex);
-> kmem_cache_free(file)
The logic of the mechanism is the same as for epoll: sync with
__fput() preventing the file from being freed. Here the
synchronization happens through the ttm instance's prime->mutex.
Basically, the lifetime of the dma_buf and the file are tighly
coupled.
Both (1) and (2) used to call atomic_inc_not_zero() to check whether
the file has already been marked dead and then refuse to revive it.
This is only safe because both (1) and (2) sync with __fput() and thus
prevent kmem_cache_free() on the file being called and thus prevent
the file from being immediately recycled due to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU.
Both (1) and (2) have been ported from atomic_inc_not_zero() to
file_ref_get(). That means a file that is already in the process of
being marked as FILE_REF_DEAD:
file_ref_put()
cnt = atomic_long_dec_return()
-> __file_ref_put(cnt)
if (cnt == FIlE_REF_NOREF)
atomic_long_try_cmpxchg_release(cnt, FILE_REF_DEAD)
can be revived again:
CPU1 CPU2
file_ref_put()
cnt = atomic_long_dec_return()
-> __file_ref_put(cnt)
if (cnt == FIlE_REF_NOREF)
file_ref_get()
// Brings reference back to FILE_REF_ONEREF
atomic_long_add_negative()
atomic_long_try_cmpxchg_release(cnt, FILE_REF_DEAD)
This is fine and inherent to the file_ref_get()/file_ref_put()
semantics. For both (1) and (2) this is safe because __fput() is
prevented from making progress if file_ref_get() fails due to the
aforementioned synchronization mechanisms.
Two cases need to be considered that affect both (1) epoll and (2) ttm
dmabuf:
(i) fput()'s file_ref_put() and marks the file as FILE_REF_NOREF but
before that fput() can mark the file as FILE_REF_DEAD someone
manages to sneak in a file_ref_get() and brings the refcount back
from FILE_REF_NOREF to FILE_REF_ONEREF. In that case the original
fput() doesn't call __fput(). For epoll the poll will finish and
for ttm dmabuf the file can be used again. For ttm dambuf this is
actually an advantage because it avoids immediately allocating
a new dmabuf object.
CPU1 CPU2
file_ref_put()
cnt = atomic_long_dec_return()
-> __file_ref_put(cnt)
if (cnt == FIlE_REF_NOREF)
file_ref_get()
// Brings reference back to FILE_REF_ONEREF
atomic_long_add_negative()
atomic_long_try_cmpxchg_release(cnt, FILE_REF_DEAD)
(ii) fput()'s file_ref_put() marks the file FILE_REF_NOREF and
also suceeds in actually marking it FILE_REF_DEAD and then calls
into __fput() to free the file.
When either (1) or (2) call file_ref_get() they fail as
atomic_long_add_negative() will return true.
At the same time, both (1) and (2) all file_ref_get() under
mutexes that __fput() must also acquire preventing
kmem_cache_free() from freeing the file.
So while this might be treated as a change in semantics for (1) and
(2) it really isn't. It if should end up causing issues this can be
fixed by adding a helper that does something like:
long cnt = atomic_long_read(&ref->refcnt);
do {
if (cnt < 0)
return false;
} while (!atomic_long_try_cmpxchg(&ref->refcnt, &cnt, cnt + 1));
return true;
which would block FILE_REF_NOREF to FILE_REF_ONEREF transitions.
- Jann correctly pointed out that kmem_cache_zalloc() cannot be used
anymore once files have been ported to file_ref_t.
The kmem_cache_zalloc() call will memset() the whole struct file to
zero when it is reallocated. This will also set file->f_ref to zero
which mens that a concurrent file_ref_get() can return true:
CPU1 CPU2
__get_file_rcu()
rcu_dereference_raw()
close()
[frees file]
alloc_empty_file()
kmem_cache_zalloc()
[reallocates same file]
memset(..., 0, ...)
file_ref_get()
[increments 0->1, returns true]
init_file()
file_ref_init(..., 1)
[sets to 0]
rcu_dereference_raw()
fput()
file_ref_put()
[decrements 0->FILE_REF_NOREF, frees file]
[UAF]
causing a concurrent __get_file_rcu() call to acquire a reference to
the file that is about to be reallocated and immediately freeing it
on realizing that it has been recycled. This causes a UAF for the
task that reallocated/recycled the file.
This is prevented by switching from kmem_cache_zalloc() to
kmem_cache_alloc() and initializing the fields manually. With
file->f_ref initialized last.
Note that a memset() also isn't guaranteed to atomically update an
unsigned long so it's theoretically possible to see torn and
therefore bogus counter values.

Semantics used by statx(2) (and later *xattrat(2)): without AT_EMPTY_PATH
it's standard getname() (i.e. ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) on empty string,
ERR_PTR(-EFAULT) on NULL), with AT_EMPTY_PATH both empty string and
NULL are accepted.
Calling conventions: getname_maybe_null(user_pointer, flags) returns
* pointer to struct filename when non-empty string had been
successfully read
* ERR_PTR(...) on error
* NULL if an empty string or NULL pointer had been given
with AT_EMPTY_PATH in the flags argument.
It tries to avoid allocation in the last case; it's not always
able to do so, in which case the temporary struct filename instance
is freed and NULL returned anyway.

Currently FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE is set if the bdev can atomic write and
the file is open for direct IO. This does not work if the file is not

Change to check for direct IO on a per-IO basis in
generic_atomic_write_valid(). Since we want to report -EOPNOTSUPP for

Relocate the block fops atomic write checks to the common write path, as to

Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> says:
The VFS has always used coarse-grained timestamps when updating the
ctime and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing
filesystems to optimize away a lot metadata updates, down to around 1
per jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.
Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
client decide when to invalidate the cache. Even with NFSv4, a lot of
exported filesystems don't properly support a change attribute and are
subject to the same problems with timestamp granularity. Other
applications have similar issues with timestamps (e.g backup
applications).
If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve the
situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.
What we need is a way to only use fine-grained timestamps when they are
being actively queried. Use the (unused) top bit in inode->i_ctime_nsec
as a flag that indicates whether the current timestamps have been
queried via stat() or the like. When it's set, we allow the kernel to
use a fine-grained timestamp iff it's necessary to make the ctime show
a different value.
This solves the problem of being able to distinguish the timestamp
between updates, but introduces a new problem: it's now possible for a
file being changed to get a fine-grained timestamp. A file that is
altered just a bit later can then get a coarse-grained one that appears
older than the earlier fine-grained time. This violates timestamp
ordering guarantees.
To remedy this, keep a global monotonic atomic64_t value that acts as a
timestamp floor. When we go to stamp a file, we first get the latter of
the current floor value and the current coarse-grained time. If the
inode ctime hasn't been queried then we just attempt to stamp it with
that value.
If it has been queried, then first see whether the current coarse time
is later than the existing ctime. If it is, then we accept that value.
If it isn't, then we get a fine-grained time and try to swap that into
the global floor. Whether that succeeds or fails, we take the resulting
floor time, convert it to realtime and try to swap that into the ctime.
We take the result of the ctime swap whether it succeeds or fails, since
either is just as valid.
Filesystems can opt into this by setting the FS_MGTIME fstype flag.
Others should be unaffected (other than being subject to the same floor
value as multigrain filesystems).

An update to the inode ctime typically requires the latest clock
value possible. The exception to this rule is when there is a nfsd write
delegation and the server is proxying timestamps from the client.
When nfsd gets a CB_GETATTR response, update the timestamp value in the
inode to the values that the client is tracking. The client doesn't send
a ctime value (since that's always determined by the exported
filesystem), but it can send a mtime value. In the case where it does,
update the ctime to a value commensurate with that instead of the
current time.
If ATTR_DELEG is set, then use ia_ctime value instead of setting the
timestamp to the current time.
With the addition of delegated timestamps, the server may receive a
request to update only the atime, which doesn't involve a ctime update.
Trust the ATTR_CTIME flag in the update and only update the ctime when
it's set.

Patch series "remove PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM" v3.
This patch (of 2):
bch2_new_inode relies on PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM to try to allocate a new
inode to achieve GFP_NOWAIT semantic while holding locks. If this
allocation fails it will drop locks and use GFP_NOFS allocation context.
We would like to drop PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM because it is really
dangerous to use if the caller doesn't control the full call chain with
this flag set. E.g. if any of the function down the chain needed
GFP_NOFAIL request the PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM would override this and
cause unexpected failure.
While this is not the case in this particular case using the scoped gfp
semantic is not really needed bacause we can easily pus the allocation
context down the chain without too much clutter.

Benjamin Coddington <bcodding@redhat.com> says:
Last year both GFS2 and OCFS2 had some work done to make their locking more
robust when exported over NFS. Unfortunately, part of that work caused both
NLM (for NFS v3 exports) and kNFSD (for NFSv4.1+ exports) to no longer send
lock notifications to clients.
This in itself is not a huge problem because most NFS clients will still
poll the server in order to acquire a conflicted lock, but now that I've
noticed it I can't help but try to fix it because there are big advantages
for setups that might depend on timely lock notifications, and we've
supported that as a feature for a long time.
Its important for NLM and kNFSD that they do not block their kernel threads
inside filesystem's file_lock implementations because that can produce
deadlocks. We used to make sure of this by only trusting that
posix_lock_file() can correctly handle blocking lock calls asynchronously,
so the lock managers would only setup their file_lock requests for async
callbacks if the filesystem did not define its own lock() file operation.
However, when GFS2 and OCFS2 grew the capability to correctly
handle blocking lock requests asynchronously, they started signalling this
behavior with EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK, and the check for also trusting
posix_lock_file() was inadvertently dropped, so now most filesystems no
longer produce lock notifications when exported over NFS.
I tried to fix this by simply including the old check for lock(), but the
resulting include mess and layering violations was more than I could accept.
There's a much cleaner way presented here using an fop_flag, which while
potentially flag-greedy, greatly simplifies the problem and grooms the
way for future uses by both filesystems and lock managers alike.

rcu_pending, btree key cache rework: this solves lock contenting in the
key cache, eliminating the biggest source of the srcu lock hold time
warnings, and drastically improving performance on some metadata heavy
workloads - on multithreaded creates we're now 3-4x faster than xfs.
We're now using an rhashtable instead of the system inode hash table;
this is another significant performance improvement on multithreaded
metadata workloads, eliminating more lock contention.
for_each_btree_key_in_subvolume_upto(): new helper for iterating over
keys within a specific subvolume, eliminating a lot of open coded
"subvolume_get_snapshot()" and also fixing another source of srcu lock
time warnings, by running each loop iteration in its own transaction (as
the existing for_each_btree_key() does).
More work on btree_trans locking asserts; we now assert that we don't
hold btree node locks when trans->locked is false, which is important
because we don't use lockdep for tracking individual btree node locks.
Some cleanups and improvements in the bset.c btree node lookup code,
from Alan.
Rework of btree node pinning, which we use in backpointers fsck. The old
hacky implementation, where the shrinker just skipped over nodes in the
pinned range, was causing OOMs; instead we now use another shrinker with
a much higher seeks number for pinned nodes.
Rebalance now uses BCH_WRITE_ONLY_SPECIFIED_DEVS; this fixes an issue
where rebalance would sometimes fall back to allocating from the full
filesystem, which is not what we want when it's trying to move data to a
specific target.
Use __GFP_ACCOUNT, GFP_RECLAIMABLE for btree node, key cache
allocations.
Idmap mounts are now supported - Hongbo.
Rename whiteouts are now supported - Hongbo.
Erasure coding can now handle devices being marked as failed, or
forcibly removed. We still need the evacuate path for erasure coding,
but it's getting very close to ready for people to start using.
Status, and when will we be taking off experimental:
----------------------------------------------------
Going by critical, user facing bugs getting found and fixed, we're
nearly there. There are a couple key items that need to be finished
before we can take off the experimental label:
- The end-user experience is still pretty painful when the root
filesystem needs a fsck; we need some form of limited self healing so
that necessary repair gets run automatically. Errors (by type) are
recorded in the superblock, so what we need to do next is convert
remaining inconsistent() errors to fsck() errors (so that all runtime
inconsistencies are logged in the superblock), and we need to go
through the list of fsck errors and classify them by which fsck passes
are needed to repair them.
- We need comprehensive torture testing for all our repair paths, to
shake out remaining bugs there. Thomas has been working on the tooling
for this, so this is coming soonish.
Slightly less critical items:
- We need to improve the end-user experience for degraded mounts: right
now, a degraded root filesystem means dropping to an initramfs shell
or somehow inputting mount options manually (we don't want to allow
degraded mounts without some form of user input, except on unattended
servers) - we need the mount helper to prompt the user to allow
mounting degraded, and make sure this works with systemd.
- Scalabiity: we have users running 100TB+ filesystems, and that's
effectively the limit right now due to fsck times. We have some
reworks in the pipeline to address this, we're aiming to make petabyte
sized filesystems practical.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.12.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs file updates from Christian Brauner:
"This is the work to cleanup and shrink struct file significantly.
Right now, (focusing on x86) struct file is 232 bytes. After this
series struct file will be 184 bytes aka 3 cacheline and a spare 8
bytes for future extensions at the end of the struct.
With struct file being as ubiquitous as it is this should make a
difference for file heavy workloads and allow further optimizations in
the future.
- struct fown_struct was embedded into struct file letting it take up
32 bytes in total when really it shouldn't even be embedded in
struct file in the first place. Instead, actual users of struct
fown_struct now allocate the struct on demand. This frees up 24
bytes.
- Move struct file_ra_state into the union containg the cleanup hooks
and move f_iocb_flags out of the union. This closes a 4 byte hole
we created earlier and brings struct file to 192 bytes. Which means
struct file is 3 cachelines and we managed to shrink it by 40
bytes.
- Reorder struct file so that nothing crosses a cacheline.
I suspect that in the future we will end up reordering some members
to mitigate false sharing issues or just because someone does
actually provide really good perf data.
- Shrinking struct file to 192 bytes is only part of the work.
Files use a slab that is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and when a kmem cache
is created with SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU the free pointer must be
located outside of the object because the cache doesn't know what
part of the memory can safely be overwritten as it may be needed to
prevent object recycling.
That has the consequence that SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU may end up
adding a new cacheline.
So this also contains work to add a new kmem_cache_create_rcu()
function that allows the caller to specify an offset where the
freelist pointer is supposed to be placed. Thus avoiding the
implicit addition of a fourth cacheline.
- And finally this removes the f_version member in struct file.
The f_version member isn't particularly well-defined. It is mainly
used as a cookie to detect concurrent seeks when iterating
directories. But it is also abused by some subsystems for
completely unrelated things.
It is mostly a directory and filesystem specific thing that doesn't
really need to live in struct file and with its wonky semantics it
really lacks a specific function.
For pipes, f_version is (ab)used to defer poll notifications until
a write has happened. And struct pipe_inode_info is used by
multiple struct files in their ->private_data so there's no chance
of pushing that down into file->private_data without introducing
another pointer indirection.
But pipes don't rely on f_pos_lock so this adds a union into struct

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual pile of misc updates:
Features:
- Add F_CREATED_QUERY fcntl() that allows userspace to query whether
a file was actually created. Often userspace wants to know whether
an O_CREATE request did actually create a file without using
O_EXCL. The current logic is that to first attempts to open the
file without O_CREAT | O_EXCL and if ENOENT is returned userspace
tries again with both flags. If that succeeds all is well. If it
now reports EEXIST it retries.
That works fairly well but some corner cases make this more
involved. If this operates on a dangling symlink the first openat()
without O_CREAT | O_EXCL will return ENOENT but the second openat()
with O_CREAT | O_EXCL will fail with EEXIST.
The reason is that openat() without O_CREAT | O_EXCL follows the
symlink while O_CREAT | O_EXCL doesn't for security reasons. So
it's not something we can really change unless we add an explicit
opt-in via O_FOLLOW which seems really ugly.
All available workarounds are really nasty (fanotify, bpf lsm etc)
so add a simple fcntl().
- Try an opportunistic lookup for O_CREAT. Today, when opening a file
we'll typically do a fast lookup, but if O_CREAT is set, the kernel
always takes the exclusive inode lock. This was likely done with
the expectation that O_CREAT means that we always expect to do the
create, but that's often not the case. Many programs set O_CREAT
even in scenarios where the file already exists (see related
F_CREATED_QUERY patch motivation above).
The series contained in the pr rearranges the pathwalk-for-open
code to also attempt a fast_lookup in certain O_CREAT cases. If a
positive dentry is found, the inode_lock can be avoided altogether
and it can stay in rcuwalk mode for the last step_into.
- Expose the 64 bit mount id via name_to_handle_at()
Now that we provide a unique 64-bit mount ID interface in statx(2),
we can now provide a race-free way for name_to_handle_at(2) to
provide a file handle and corresponding mount without needing to
worry about racing with /proc/mountinfo parsing or having to open a
file just to do statx(2).
While this is not necessary if you are using AT_EMPTY_PATH and
don't care about an extra statx(2) call, users that pass full paths
into name_to_handle_at(2) need to know which mount the file handle
comes from (to make sure they don't try to open_by_handle_at a file
handle from a different filesystem) and switching to AT_EMPTY_PATH
would require allocating a file for every name_to_handle_at(2) call
- Add a per dentry expire timeout to autofs
There are two fairly well known automounter map formats, the autofs
format and the amd format (more or less System V and Berkley).
Some time ago Linux autofs added an amd map format parser that
implemented a fair amount of the amd functionality. This was done
within the autofs infrastructure and some functionality wasn't
implemented because it either didn't make sense or required extra
kernel changes. The idea was to restrict changes to be within the
existing autofs functionality as much as possible and leave changes
with a wider scope to be considered later.
One of these changes is implementing the amd options:
1) "unmount", expire this mount according to a timeout (same as
the current autofs default).
2) "nounmount", don't expire this mount (same as setting the
autofs timeout to 0 except only for this specific mount) .
3) "utimeout=<seconds>", expire this mount using the specified
timeout (again same as setting the autofs timeout but only for
this mount)
To implement these options per-dentry expire timeouts need to be
implemented for autofs indirect mounts. This is because all map
keys (mounts) for autofs indirect mounts use an expire timeout
stored in the autofs mount super block info. structure and all
indirect mounts use the same expire timeout.
Fixes:
- Fix missing fput for FSCONFIG_SET_FD in autofs
- Use param->file for FSCONFIG_SET_FD in coda
- Delete the 'fs/netfs' proc subtreee when netfs module exits
- Make sure that struct uid_gid_map fits into a single cacheline

Some lock managers (NLM, kNFSD) fastidiously avoid blocking their
kernel threads while servicing blocking locks. If a filesystem supports
asynchronous lock requests those lock managers can use notifications to
quickly inform clients they have acquired a file lock.
Historically, only posix_lock_file() was capable of supporting asynchronous
locks so the check for support was simply file_operations->lock(), but with
recent changes in DLM, both GFS2 and OCFS2 also support asynchronous locks
and have started signalling their support with EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK.
We recently noticed that those changes dropped the checks for whether a
filesystem simply defaults to posix_lock_file(), so async lock
notifications have not been attempted for NLM and NFSv4.1+ for most
filesystems. While trying to fix this it has become clear that testing
both the export flag combined with testing ->lock() creates quite a
layering mess. It seems appropriate to signal support with a fop_flag.
Add FOP_ASYNC_LOCK so that filesystems with ->lock() can signal their
capability to handle lock requests asynchronously. Add a helper for
lock managers to properly test that support.

Right now we determine if filesystem support vfs idmappings or not basing
on the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag presence. This "static" way works perfecly well
for local filesystems like ext4, xfs, btrfs, etc. But for network-like
filesystems like fuse, cephfs this approach is not ideal, because sometimes
proper support of vfs idmaps requires some extensions for the on-wire
protocol, which implies that changes have to be made not only in the Linux
kernel code but also in the 3rd party components like libfuse, cephfs MDS
server and so on.
We have seen that issue during our work on cephfs idmapped mounts [1] with
Christian, but right now I'm working on the idmapped mounts support for
fuse/virtiofs and I think that it is a right time for this extension.

Readahead support for IOCB_NOWAIT was introduced in commit 2e85abf053
("mm: allow read-ahead with IOCB_NOWAIT set"). However, this
implementation broke the semantics of IOCB_NOWAIT by potentially causing
it to wait on I/O during memory reclamation. This behavior was later
modified in commit efa8480a83 ("fs: RWF_NOWAIT should imply IOCB_NOIO").
To resolve the blocking issue during memory reclamation, we can use
memalloc_noio_{save,restore} to ensure non-blocking behavior. This change
restores the original functionality, allowing preadv2(IOCB_NOWAIT) to
trigger readahead if the file content is not present in the page cache.
While this process may trigger direct memory reclamation, the
__GFP_NORETRY flag is set in the readahead GFP flags, ensuring it won't
block.
A use case for this change is when we want to trigger readahead in the
preadv2(2) syscall if the file cache is absent, but without waiting for
certain filesystem locks, like xfs_ilock. A simple example is as follows:
retry:
if (preadv2(fd, iovec, cnt, offset, RWF_NOWAIT) < 0) {
do_other_work();
goto retry;
}

This popped up due to false-sharing where loads from that offset end up

the spurious load does not need to be there.

We do embedd struct fown_struct into struct file letting it take up 32
bytes in total. We could tweak struct fown_struct to be more compact but
really it shouldn't even be embedded in struct file in the first place.
Instead, actual users of struct fown_struct should allocate the struct
on demand. This frees up 24 bytes in struct file.
That will have some potentially user-visible changes for the ownership
fcntl()s. Some of them can now fail due to allocation failures.
Practically, that probably will almost never happen as the allocations
are small and they only happen once per file.
The fown_struct is used during kill_fasync() which is used by e.g.,
pipes to generate a SIGIO signal. Sending of such signals is conditional
on userspace having set an owner for the file using one of the F_OWNER
fcntl()s. Such users will be unaffected if struct fown_struct is
allocated during the fcntl() call.
There are a few subsystems that call __f_setown() expecting
file->f_owner to be allocated:
(1) tun devices
file->f_op->fasync::tun_chr_fasync()
-> __f_setown()
There are no callers of tun_chr_fasync().
(2) tty devices
file->f_op->fasync::tty_fasync()
-> __tty_fasync()
-> __f_setown()
tty_fasync() has no additional callers but __tty_fasync() has. Note
that __tty_fasync() only calls __f_setown() if the @on argument is
true. It's called from:
file->f_op->release::tty_release()
-> tty_release()
-> __tty_fasync()
-> __f_setown()
tty_release() calls __tty_fasync() with @on false
=> __f_setown() is never called from tty_release().
=> All callers of tty_release() are safe as well.
file->f_op->release::tty_open()
-> tty_release()
-> __tty_fasync()
-> __f_setown()
__tty_hangup() calls __tty_fasync() with @on false
=> __f_setown() is never called from tty_release().
=> All callers of __tty_hangup() are safe as well.
From the callchains it's obvious that (1) and (2) end up getting called
via file->f_op->fasync(). That can happen either through the F_SETFL
fcntl() with the FASYNC flag raised or via the FIOASYNC ioctl(). If
FASYNC is requested and the file isn't already FASYNC then
file->f_op->fasync() is called with @on true which ends up causing both
(1) and (2) to call __f_setown().
(1) and (2) are the only subsystems that call __f_setown() from the
file->f_op->fasync() handler. So both (1) and (2) have been updated to
allocate a struct fown_struct prior to calling fasync_helper() to
register with the fasync infrastructure. That's safe as they both call
fasync_helper() which also does allocations if @on is true.
The other interesting case are file leases:
(3) file leases
lease_manager_ops->lm_setup::lease_setup()
-> __f_setown()
Which in turn is called from:
generic_add_lease()
-> lease_manager_ops->lm_setup::lease_setup()
-> __f_setown()
So here again we can simply make generic_add_lease() allocate struct
fown_struct prior to the lease_manager_ops->lm_setup::lease_setup()
which happens under a spinlock.
With that the two remaining subsystems that call __f_setown() are:
(4) dnotify
(5) sockets
Both have their own custom ioctls to set struct fown_struct and both
have been converted to allocate a struct fown_struct on demand from
their respective ioctls.
Interactions with O_PATH are fine as well e.g., when opening a /dev/tty
as O_PATH then no file->f_op->open() happens thus no file->f_owner is
allocated. That's fine as no file operation will be set for those and
the device has never been opened. fcntl()s called on such things will
just allocate a ->f_owner on demand. Although I have zero idea why'd you
care about f_owner on an O_PATH fd.

Currently, we copy the mtime and ctime to the in-core inode and then
mark the inode dirty. This is fine for certain types of filesystems, but
not all. Some require a real setattr to properly change these values
(e.g. ceph or reexported NFS).
Fix this code to call notify_change() instead, which is the proper way
to effect a setattr. There is one problem though:
In this case, the client is holding a write delegation and has sent us
attributes to update our cache. We don't want to break the delegation
for this since that would defeat the purpose. Add a new ATTR_DELEG flag
that makes notify_change bypass the try_break_deleg call.

The inode reclaiming process(See function prune_icache_sb) collects all
reclaimable inodes and mark them with I_FREEING flag at first, at that
time, other processes will be stuck if they try getting these inodes
(See function find_inode_fast), then the reclaiming process destroy the
inodes by function dispose_list(). Some filesystems(eg. ext4 with
ea_inode feature, ubifs with xattr) may do inode lookup in the inode
evicting callback function, if the inode lookup is operated under the
inode lru traversing context, deadlock problems may happen.
Case 1: In function ext4_evict_inode(), the ea inode lookup could happen
if ea_inode feature is enabled, the lookup process will be stuck
under the evicting context like this:
1. File A has inode i_reg and an ea inode i_ea
2. getfattr(A, xattr_buf) // i_ea is added into lru // lru->i_ea
3. Then, following three processes running like this:
PA PB
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
shrink_slab
prune_dcache_sb
// i_reg is added into lru, lru->i_ea->i_reg
prune_icache_sb
list_lru_walk_one
inode_lru_isolate
i_ea->i_state |= I_FREEING // set inode state
inode_lru_isolate

spin_unlock(&i_reg->i_lock)
spin_unlock(lru_lock)
rm file A
i_reg->nlink = 0
iput(i_reg) // i_reg->nlink is 0, do evict
ext4_evict_inode
ext4_xattr_delete_inode
ext4_xattr_inode_dec_ref_all
ext4_xattr_inode_iget
ext4_iget(i_ea->i_ino)
iget_locked
find_inode_fast
__wait_on_freeing_inode(i_ea) ----→ AA deadlock
dispose_list // cannot be executed by prune_icache_sb
wake_up_bit(&i_ea->i_state)
Case 2: In deleted inode writing function ubifs_jnl_write_inode(), file
deleting process holds BASEHD's wbuf->io_mutex while getting the
xattr inode, which could race with inode reclaiming process(The
reclaiming process could try locking BASEHD's wbuf->io_mutex in
inode evicting function), then an ABBA deadlock problem would
happen as following:
1. File A has inode ia and a xattr(with inode ixa), regular file B has
inode ib and a xattr.
2. getfattr(A, xattr_buf) // ixa is added into lru // lru->ixa
3. Then, following three processes running like this:
PA PB PC
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
shrink_slab
prune_dcache_sb
// ib and ia are added into lru, lru->ixa->ib->ia
prune_icache_sb
list_lru_walk_one
inode_lru_isolate
ixa->i_state |= I_FREEING // set inode state
inode_lru_isolate

__wait_on_freeing_inode(ixa)
| iput(ib) // ib->nlink is 0, do evict
| ubifs_evict_inode
| ubifs_jnl_delete_inode(ib)
↓ ubifs_jnl_write_inode
ABBA deadlock ←-----make_reservation(BASEHD)
dispose_list // cannot be executed by prune_icache_sb
wake_up_bit(&ixa->i_state)
Fix the possible deadlock by using new inode state flag I_LRU_ISOLATING
to pin the inode in memory while inode_lru_isolate() reclaims its pages
instead of using ordinary inode reference. This way inode deletion
cannot be triggered from inode_lru_isolate() thus avoiding the deadlock.
evict() is made to wait for I_LRU_ISOLATING to be cleared before
proceeding with inode cleanup.

Callers of iget_locked() get the improvement without any code

Long-term we should pick up the effort to introduce more

This allows us to remove an unneeded lock acquire in new_inode()

An atomic write is a write issued with torn-write protection, meaning
that for a power failure or any other hardware failure, all or none of the
data from the write will be stored, but never a mix of old and new data.
Userspace may add flag RWF_ATOMIC to pwritev2() to indicate that the
write is to be issued with torn-write prevention, according to special
alignment and length rules.
For any syscall interface utilizing struct iocb, add IOCB_ATOMIC for
iocb->ki_flags field to indicate the same.
A call to statx will give the relevant atomic write info for a file:
- atomic_write_unit_min
- atomic_write_unit_max
- atomic_write_segments_max
Both min and max values must be a power-of-2.
Applications can avail of atomic write feature by ensuring that the total
length of a write is a power-of-2 in size and also sized between
atomic_write_unit_min and atomic_write_unit_max, inclusive. Applications
must ensure that the write is at a naturally-aligned offset in the file
wrt the total write length. The value in atomic_write_segments_max
indicates the upper limit for IOV_ITER iovcnt.
Add file mode flag FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE, so files which do not have the
flag set will have RWF_ATOMIC rejected and not just ignored.
Add a type argument to kiocb_set_rw_flags() to allows reads which have
RWF_ATOMIC set to be rejected.
Helper function generic_atomic_write_valid() can be used by FSes to verify
compliant writes. There we check for iov_iter type is for ubuf, which
implies iovcnt==1 for pwritev2(), which is an initial restriction for
atomic_write_segments_max. Initially the only user will be bdev file
operations write handler. We will rely on the block BIO submission path to
ensure write sizes are compliant for the bdev, so we don't need to check
atomic writes sizes yet.

This avoids one inode hash lock acquire in the common case on inode
creation, in effect significantly reducing contention.
On the stock kernel said lock is typically taken twice:
1. once to check if the inode happens to already be present
2. once to add it to the hash
The back-to-back lock/unlock pattern is known to degrade performance
significantly, which is further exacerbated if the hash is heavily
populated (long chains to walk, extending hold time). Arguably hash
sizing and hashing algo need to be revisited, but that's beyond the
scope of this patch.
With the acquire from step 1 eliminated with RCU lookup throughput
increases significantly at the scale of 20 cores (benchmark results at
the bottom).
So happens the hash already supports RCU-based operation, but lookups on
inode insertions didn't take advantage of it.
This of course has its limits as the global lock is still a bottleneck.
There was a patchset posted which introduced fine-grained locking[1] but
it appears staled. Apart from that doubt was expressed whether a
handrolled hash implementation is appropriate to begin with, suggesting
replacement with rhashtables. Nobody committed to carrying [1] across
the finish line or implementing anything better, thus the bandaid below.
iget_locked consumers (notably ext4) get away without any changes
because inode comparison method is built-in.
iget5_locked consumers pass a custom callback. Since removal of locking
adds more problems (inode can be changing) it's not safe to assume all
filesystems happen to cope. Thus iget5_locked_rcu gets added, requiring
manual conversion of interested filesystems.
In order to reduce code duplication find_inode and find_inode_fast grow
an argument indicating whether inode hash lock is held, which is passed
down in case sleeping is necessary. They always rcu_read_lock, which is
redundant but harmless. Doing it conditionally reduces readability for
no real gain that I can see. RCU-alike restrictions were already put on
callbacks due to the hash spinlock being held.
Benchmarking:
There is a real cache-busting workload scanning millions of files in
parallel (it's a backup appliance), where the initial lookup is
guaranteed to fail resulting in the two lock acquires on stock kernel
(and one with the patch at hand).
Implemented below is a synthetic benchmark providing the same behavior.
[I shall note the workload is not running on Linux, instead it was
causing trouble elsewhere. Benchmark below was used while addressing
said problems and was found to adequately represent the real workload.]
Total real time fluctuates by 1-2s.
With 20 threads each walking a dedicated 1000 dirs * 1000 files
directory tree to stat(2) on a 32 core + 24GB RAM vm:
ext4 (needed mkfs.ext4 -N 24000000):
before: 3.77s user 890.90s system 1939% cpu 46.118 total
after: 3.24s user 397.73s system 1858% cpu 21.581 total (-53%)
That's 20 million files to visit, while the machine can only cache about
15 million at a time (obtained from ext4_inode_cache object count in
/proc/slabinfo). Since each terminal inode is only visited once per run
this amounts to 0% hit ratio for the dentry cache and the hash table
(there are however hits for the intermediate directories).
On repeated runs the kernel caches the last ~15 mln, meaning there is ~5
mln of uncached inodes which are going to be visited first, evicting the
previously cached state as it happens.
Lack of hits can be trivially verified with bpftrace, like so:
bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:find_inode_fast { @[kstack(), retval != 0] = count(); }'\
-c "/bin/sh walktrees /testfs 20"
Best ran more than once.

That is 20 million calls for the initial lookup and 20 million after
allocating a new inode, all of them failing to return a value != 0
(i.e., they are returning NULL -- no match found).
Of course aborting the benchmark in the middle and starting it again (or
messing with the state in other ways) is going to alter these results.

generic_ci_match can be used by case-insensitive filesystems to compare
strings under lookup with dirents in a case-insensitive way. This
function is currently reimplemented by each filesystem supporting
casefolding, so this reduces code duplication in filesystem-specific
code.

Adjacent struct timespec64's pack poorly. Switch them to discrete
integer fields for the seconds and nanoseconds. This shaves 8 bytes off
struct inode with a garden-variety Fedora Kconfig on x86_64, but that
also moves the i_lock into the previous cacheline, away from the fields
it protects.
To remedy that, move i_generation above the i_lock, which moves the new
4-byte hole to just after the i_fsnotify_mask in my setup. Amir has
plans to use that to expand the i_fsnotify_mask, so add a comment to
that effect as well.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
for vfs and individual fses.
Features:
- Free up FMODE_* bits. I've freed up bits 6, 7, 8, and 24. That
means we now have six free FMODE_* bits in total (but bit #6
already got used for FMODE_WRITE_RESTRICTED)
- Add FOP_HUGE_PAGES flag (follow-up to FMODE_* cleanup)
- Add fd_raw cleanup class so we can make use of automatic cleanup
provided by CLASS(fd_raw, f)(fd) for O_PATH fds as well
- Optimize seq_puts()
- Simplify __seq_puts()
- Add new anon_inode_getfile_fmode() api to allow specifying f_mode
instead of open-coding it in multiple places
- Annotate struct file_handle with __counted_by() and use
struct_size()
- Warn in get_file() whether f_count resurrection from zero is
attempted (epoll/drm discussion)
- Folio-sophize aio
- Export the subvolume id in statx() for both btrfs and bcachefs
- Relax linkat(AT_EMPTY_PATH) requirements
- Add F_DUPFD_QUERY fcntl() allowing to compare two file descriptors
for dup*() equality replacing kcmp()
Cleanups:
- Compile out swapfile inode checks when swap isn't enabled
- Use (1 << n) notation for FMODE_* bitshifts for clarity
- Remove redundant variable assignment in fs/direct-io
- Cleanup uses of strncpy in orangefs
- Speed up and cleanup writeback
- Move fsparam_string_empty() helper into header since it's currently
open-coded in multiple places
- Add kernel-doc comments to proc_create_net_data_write()
- Don't needlessly read dentry->d_flags twice
Fixes:
- Fix out-of-range warning in nilfs2
- Fix ecryptfs overflow due to wrong encryption packet size
calculation
- Fix overly long line in xfs file_operations (follow-up to FMODE_*
cleanup)
- Don't raise FOP_BUFFER_{R,W}ASYNC for directories in xfs (follow-up
to FMODE_* cleanup)
- Don't call xfs_file_open from xfs_dir_open (follow-up to FMODE_*
cleanup)
- Fix stable offset api to prevent endless loops
- Fix afs file server rotations
- Prevent xattr node from overflowing the eraseblock in jffs2
- Move fdinfo PTRACE_MODE_READ procfs check into the .permission()
operation instead of .open() operation since this caused userspace
regressions"

It should never happen that get_file() is called on a file with
f_count equal to zero. If this happens, a use-after-free condition
has happened[1], and we need to attempt a best-effort reporting of
the situation to help find the root cause more easily. Additionally,
this serves as a data corruption indicator that system owners using
warn_limit or panic_on_warn would like to have detected.

There's a bunch of flags that are purely based on what the file
operations support while also never being conditionally set or unset.
IOW, they're not subject to change for individual files. Imho, such
flags don't need to live in f_mode they might as well live in the fops
structs itself. And the fops struct already has that lonely
mmap_supported_flags member. We might as well turn that into a generic
fop_flags member and move a few flags from FMODE_* space into FOP_*
space. That gets us four FMODE_* bits back and the ability for new
static flags that are about file ops to not have to live in FMODE_*
space but in their own FOP_* space. It's not the most beautiful thing
ever but it gets the job done. Yes, there'll be an additional pointer
chase but hopefully that won't matter for these flags.
I suspect there's a few more we can move into there and that we can also
redirect a bunch of new flag suggestions that follow this pattern into
the fop_flags field instead of f_mode.

Last kernel release we introduce CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED. By
default this option is set. When it is set the long-standing behavior
of being able to write to mounted block devices is enabled.
But in order to guard against unintended corruption by writing to the
block device buffer cache CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED can be turned
off. In that case it isn't possible to write to mounted block devices
anymore.
A filesystem may open its block devices with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES
which disallows concurrent BLK_OPEN_WRITE access. When we still had the
bdev handle around we could recognize BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES because
the mode was passed around. Since we managed to get rid of the bdev
handle we changed that logic to recognize BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES based
on whether the file was opened writable and writes to that block device
are blocked. That logic doesn't work because we do allow
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES to be specified without BLK_OPEN_WRITE.
Fix the detection logic and use an FMODE_* bit. We could've also abused
O_EXCL as an indicator that BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES has been requested.
For userspace open paths O_EXCL will never be retained but for internal
opens where we open files that are never installed into a file
descriptor table this is fine. But it would be a gamble that this
doesn't cause bugs. Note that BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES is an internal
only flag that cannot directly be raised by userspace. It is implicitly
raised during mounting.
Passes xftests and blktests with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED set and
unset.

Pull block handle updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we changed opening of block devices, and opening a block
device would return a bdev_handle. This allowed us to implement
support for restricting and forbidding writes to mounted block
devices. It was accompanied by converting and adding helpers to
operate on bdev_handles instead of plain block devices.
That was already a good step forward but ultimately it isn't necessary
to have special purpose helpers for opening block devices internally
that return a bdev_handle.
Fundamentally, opening a block device internally should just be
equivalent to opening files. So now all internal opens of block
devices return files just as a userspace open would. Instead of
introducing a separate indirection into bdev_open_by_*() via struct
bdev_handle bdev_file_open_by_*() is made to just return a struct
file. Opening and closing a block device just becomes equivalent to
opening and closing a file.
This all works well because internally we already have a pseudo fs for
block devices and so opening block devices is simple. There's a few
places where we needed to be careful such as during boot when the
kernel is supposed to mount the rootfs directly without init doing it.
Here we need to take care to ensure that we flush out any asynchronous
file close. That's what we already do for opening, unpacking, and
closing the initramfs. So nothing new here.
The equivalence of opening and closing block devices to regular files
is a win in and of itself. But it also has various other advantages.
We can remove struct bdev_handle completely. Various low-level helpers
are now private to the block layer. Other helpers were simply
removable completely.
A follow-up series that is already reviewed build on this and makes it
possible to remove bdev->bd_inode and allows various clean ups of the
buffer head code as well. All places where we stashed a bdev_handle
now just stash a file and use simple accessors to get to the actual
block device which was already the case for bdev_handle"

Pull file locking updates from Christian Brauner:
"A few years ago struct file_lock_context was added to allow for
separate lists to track different types of file locks instead of using
a singly-linked list for all of them.
Now leases no longer need to be tracked using struct file_lock.
However, a lot of the infrastructure is identical for leases and locks
so separating them isn't trivial.
This splits a group of fields used by both file locks and leases into
a new struct file_lock_core. The new core struct is embedded in struct
file_lock. Coccinelle was used to convert a lot of the callers to deal
with the move, with the remaining 25% or so converted by hand.
Afterwards several internal functions in fs/locks.c are made to work
with struct file_lock_core. Ultimately this allows to split struct
file_lock into struct file_lock and struct file_lease. The file lease
APIs are then converted to take struct file_lease"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Misc features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual filesystems.
Features:
- Support idmapped mounts for hugetlbfs.
- Add RWF_NOAPPEND flag for pwritev2(). This allows us to fix a bug
where the passed offset is ignored if the file is O_APPEND. The new
flag allows a caller to enforce that the offset is honored to
conform to posix even if the file was opened in append mode.
- Move i_mmap_rwsem in struct address_space to avoid false sharing
between i_mmap and i_mmap_rwsem.
- Convert efs, qnx4, and coda to use the new mount api.
- Add a generic is_dot_dotdot() helper that's used by various
filesystems and the VFS code instead of open-coding it multiple
times.
- Recently we've added stable offsets which allows stable ordering
when iterating directories exported through NFS on e.g., tmpfs
filesystems. Originally an xarray was used for the offset map but
that caused slab fragmentation issues over time. This switches the
offset map to the maple tree which has a dense mode that handles
this scenario a lot better. Includes tests.
- Finally merge the case-insensitive improvement series Gabriel has
been working on for a long time. This cleanly propagates case
insensitive operations through ->s_d_op which in turn allows us to
remove the quite ugly generic_set_encrypted_ci_d_ops() operations.
It also improves performance by trying a case-sensitive comparison
first and then fallback to case-insensitive lookup if that fails.
This also fixes a bug where overlayfs would be able to be mounted
over a case insensitive directory which would lead to all sort of
odd behaviors.
Cleanups:
- Make file_dentry() a simple accessor now that ->d_real() is
simplified because of the backing file work we did the last two
cycles.
- Use the dedicated file_mnt_idmap helper in ntfs3.
- Use smp_load_acquire/store_release() in the i_size_read/write
helpers and thus remove the hack to handle i_size reads in the
filemap code.
- The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD is a nop now. Remove it from various places in
fs/
- It's no longer necessary to perform a second built-in initramfs
unpack call because we retain the contents of the previous
extraction. Remove it.
- Now that we have removed various allocators kfree_rcu() always
works with kmem caches and kmalloc(). So simplify various places
that only use an rcu callback in order to handle the kmem cache
case.
- Convert the pipe code to use a lockdep comparison function instead
of open-coding the nesting making lockdep validation easier.
- Move code into fs-writeback.c that was located in a header but can
be made static as it's only used in that one file.
- Rewrite the alignment checking iterators for iovec and bvec to be
easier to read, and also significantly more compact in terms of
generated code. This saves 270 bytes of text on x86-64 (with
clang-18) and 224 bytes on arm64 (with gcc-13). In profiles it also
saves a bit of time for the same workload.
- Switch various places to use KMEM_CACHE instead of
kmem_cache_create().
- Use inode_set_ctime_to_ts() in inode_set_ctime_current()
- Use kzalloc() in name_to_handle_at() to avoid kernel infoleak.
- Various smaller cleanups for eventfds.
Fixes:
- Fix various comments and typos, and unneeded initializations.
- Fix stack allocation hack for clang in the select code.
- Improve dump_mapping() debug code on a best-effort basis.
- Fix build errors in various selftests.
- Avoid wrap-around instrumentation in various places.
- Don't allow user namespaces without an idmapping to be used for
idmapped mounts.
- Fix sysv sb_read() call.
- Fix fallback implementation of the get_name() export operation"

No filesystems depend on it anymore, and it is generally a bad idea.
Since all dentries should have the same set of dentry operations in
case-insensitive capable filesystems, it should be propagated through
->s_d_op.

overlayfs relies on the filesystem setting DCACHE_OP_HASH or
DCACHE_OP_COMPARE to reject mounting over case-insensitive directories.
Since commit bb9cd9106b ("fscrypt: Have filesystems handle their
d_ops"), we set ->d_op through a hook in ->d_lookup, which
means the root dentry won't have them, causing the mount to accidentally
succeed.
In v6.7-rc7, the following sequence will succeed to mount, but any
dentry other than the root dentry will be a "weird" dentry to ovl and
fail with EREMOTE.
mkfs.ext4 -O casefold lower.img
mount -O loop lower.img lower
mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work ovl /mnt
Mounting on a subdirectory fails, as expected, because DCACHE_OP_HASH
and DCACHE_OP_COMPARE are properly set by ->lookup.
Fix by explicitly rejecting superblocks that allow case-insensitive
dentries. Yes, this will be solved when we move d_op configuration back
to ->s_d_op. Yet, we better have an explicit fix to avoid messing up
again.
While there, re-sort the entries to have more descriptive error messages
first.

Add two new helpers to allow opening block devices as files.
This is not the final infrastructure. This still opens the block device
before opening a struct a file. Until we have removed all references to
struct bdev_handle we can't switch the order:
* Introduce blk_to_file_flags() to translate from block specific to
flags usable to pen a new file.
* Introduce bdev_file_open_by_{dev,path}().
* Introduce temporary sb_bdev_handle() helper to retrieve a struct
bdev_handle from a block device file and update places that directly
reference struct bdev_handle to rely on it.
* Don't count block device openes against the number of open files. A
bdev_file_open_by_{dev,path}() file is never installed into any
file descriptor table.
One idea that came to mind was to use kernel_tmpfile_open() which
would require us to pass a path and it would then call do_dentry_open()
going through the regular fops->open::blkdev_open() path. But then we're
back to the problem of routing block specific flags such as
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES through the open path and would have to waste
FMODE_* flags every time we add a new one. With this we can avoid using
a flag bit and we have more leeway in how we open block devices from
bdev_open_by_{dev,path}().

Willy's analysis is that, over time, the test workload causes
xa_alloc_cyclic() to fragment the underlying SLAB cache.
This patch replaces the offset_ctx's xarray with a Maple Tree in the
hope that Maple Tree's dense node mode will handle this scenario
more scalably.
In addition, we can widen the simple directory offset maximum to
signed long (as loff_t is also signed).

commit dfad37051a ("remap_range: move permission hooks out of
do_clone_file_range()") moved the permission hooks from
do_clone_file_range() out to its caller vfs_clone_file_range(),
but left all the fast sanity checks in do_clone_file_range().
This makes the expensive security hooks be called in situations
that they would not have been called before (e.g. fs does not support
clone).
The only reason for the do_clone_file_range() helper was that overlayfs
did not use to be able to call vfs_clone_file_range() from copy up
context with sb_writers lock held. However, since commit c63e56a4a6
("ovl: do not open/llseek lower file with upper sb_writers held"),
overlayfs just uses an open coded version of vfs_clone_file_range().
Merge_clone_file_range() into vfs_clone_file_range(), restoring the
original order of checks as it was before the regressing commit and adapt
the overlayfs code to call vfs_clone_file_range() before the permission
hooks that were added by commit ca7ab48240 ("ovl: add permission hooks
outside of do_splice_direct()").
Note that in the merge of do_clone_file_range(), the file_start_write()
context was reduced to cover ->remap_file_range() without holding it
over the permission hooks, which was the reason for doing the regressing
commit in the first place.

In those days, file_dentry() was needed to get the underlying fs dentry

Move enum rw_hint into a new header file to prepare for using this data
type in the block layer. Add the attribute __packed to reduce the space
occupied by instances of this data type from four bytes to one byte.
Change the data type of i_write_hint from u8 into enum rw_hint.

Add a new struct file_lease and move the lease-specific fields from
struct file_lock to it. Convert the appropriate API calls to take
struct file_lease instead, and convert the callers to use them.
There is zero overlap between the lock manager operations for file
locks and the ones for file leases, so split the lease-related
operations off into a new lease_manager_operations struct.

In [Link] Linus mentions that acquire/release makes it clear which
_particular_ memory accesses are the ordered ones, and it's unlikely
to make any performance difference, so it's much better to pair up
the release->acquire ordering than have a "wmb->rmb" ordering.
=========================================================
update pagecache
folio_mark_uptodate(folio)
smp_wmb()
set_bit PG_uptodate
=== ↑↑↑ STLR ↑↑↑ === smp_store_release(&inode->i_size, i_size)
folio_test_uptodate(folio)
test_bit PG_uptodate
smp_rmb()
=== ↓↓↓ LDAR ↓↓↓ === smp_load_acquire(&inode->i_size)
copy_page_to_iter()
=========================================================
Calling smp_store_release() in i_size_write() ensures that the data
in the page and the PG_uptodate bit are updated before the isize is
updated, and calling smp_load_acquire() in i_size_read ensures that
it will not read a newer isize than the data in the page. Therefore,
this avoids buffered read-write inconsistencies caused by Load-Load
reordering.

The pwrite function, originally defined by POSIX (thus the "p"), is
defined to ignore O_APPEND and write at the offset passed as its
argument. However, historically Linux honored O_APPEND if set and
ignored the offset. This cannot be changed due to stability policy,
but is documented in the man page as a bug.
Now that there's a pwritev2 syscall providing a superset of the pwrite
functionality that has a flags argument, the conforming behavior can
be offered to userspace via a new flag. Since pwritev2 checks flag
validity (in kiocb_set_rw_flags) and reports unknown ones with
EOPNOTSUPP, callers will not get wrong behavior on old kernels that
don't support the new flag; the error is reported and the caller can
decide how to handle it.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.8.netfs' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This extends the netfs helper library that network filesystems can use
to replace their own implementations. Both afs and 9p are ported. cifs
is ready as well but the patches are way bigger and will be routed
separately once this is merged. That will remove lots of code as well.
The overal goal is to get high-level I/O and knowledge of the page
cache and ouf of the filesystem drivers. This includes knowledge about
the existence of pages and folios
The pull request converts afs and 9p. This removes about 800 lines of
code from afs and 300 from 9p. For 9p it is now possible to do writes
in larger than a page chunks. Additionally, multipage folio support
can be turned on for 9p. Separate patches exist for cifs removing
another 2000+ lines. I've included detailed information in the
individual pulls I took.
Summary:
- Add NFS-style (and Ceph-style) locking around DIO vs buffered I/O
calls to prevent these from happening at the same time.
- Support for direct and unbuffered I/O.
- Support for write-through caching in the page cache.
- O_*SYNC and RWF_*SYNC writes use write-through rather than writing
to the page cache and then flushing afterwards.
- Support for write-streaming.
- Support for write grouping.
- Skip reads for which the server could only return zeros or EOF.
- The fscache module is now part of the netfs library and the
corresponding maintainer entry is updated.
- Some helpers from the fscache subsystem are renamed to mark them as
belonging to the netfs library.
- Follow-up fixes for the netfs library.

Pull vfs rw updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains updates from Amir for read-write backing file helpers
for stacking filesystems such as overlayfs:
- Fanotify is currently in the process of introducing pre content
events. Roughly, a new permission event will be added indicating
that it is safe to write to the file being accessed. These events
are used by hierarchical storage managers to e.g., fill the content
of files on first access.
During that work we noticed that our current permission checking is
inconsistent in rw_verify_area() and remap_verify_area().
Especially in the splice code permission checking is done multiple
times. For example, one time for the whole range and then again for
partial ranges inside the iterator.
In addition, we mostly do permission checking before we call
file_start_write() except for a few places where we call it after.
For pre-content events we need such permission checking to be done
before file_start_write(). So this is a nice reason to clean this
all up.
After this series, all permission checking is done before
file_start_write().
As part of this cleanup we also massaged the splice code a bit. We
got rid of a few helpers because we are alredy drowning in special
read-write helpers. We also cleaned up the return types for splice
helpers.
- Introduce generic read-write helpers for backing files. This lifts
some overlayfs code to common code so it can be used by the FUSE
passthrough work coming in over the next cycles. Make Amir and
Miklos the maintainers for this new subsystem of the vfs"

Pull vfs super updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the super work for this cycle including the long-awaited
series by Jan to make it possible to prevent writing to mounted block
devices:
- Writing to mounted devices is dangerous and can lead to filesystem
corruption as well as crashes. Furthermore syzbot comes with more
and more involved examples how to corrupt block device under a
mounted filesystem leading to kernel crashes and reports we can do
nothing about. Add tracking of writers to each block device and a
kernel cmdline argument which controls whether other writeable
opens to block devices open with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES flag are
allowed.
Note that this effectively only prevents modification of the
particular block device's page cache by other writers. The actual
device content can still be modified by other means - e.g. by
issuing direct scsi commands, by doing writes through devices lower
in the storage stack (e.g. in case loop devices, DM, or MD are
involved) etc. But blocking direct modifications of the block
device page cache is enough to give filesystems a chance to perform
data validation when loading data from the underlying storage and
thus prevent kernel crashes.
Syzbot can use this cmdline argument option to avoid uninteresting
crashes. Also users whose userspace setup does not need writing to
mounted block devices can set this option for hardening. We expect
that this will be interesting to quite a few workloads.
Btrfs is currently opted out of this because they still haven't
merged patches we require for this to work from three kernel
releases ago.
- Reimplement block device freezing and thawing as holder operations
on the block device.
This allows us to extend block device freezing to all devices
associated with a superblock and not just the main device. It also
allows us to remove get_active_super() and thus another function
that scans the global list of superblocks.
Freezing via additional block devices only works if the filesystem
chooses to use @fs_holder_ops for these additional devices as well.
That currently only includes ext4 and xfs.
Earlier releases switched get_tree_bdev() and mount_bdev() to use
@fs_holder_ops. The remaining nilfs2 open-coded version of
mount_bdev() has been converted to rely on @fs_holder_ops as well.
So block device freezing for the main block device will continue to
work as before.
There should be no regressions in functionality. The only special
case is btrfs where block device freezing for the main block device
never worked because sb->s_bdev isn't set. Block device freezing
for btrfs can be fixed once they can switch to @fs_holder_ops but
that can happen whenever they're ready"

Move the resource pinning-for-writeback from fscache code to netfslib code.
This is used to keep a cache backing object pinned whilst we have dirty
pages on the netfs inode in the pagecache such that VM writeback will be
able to reach it.
Whilst we're at it, switch the parameters of netfs_unpin_writeback() to
match ->write_inode() so that it can be used for that directly.
Note that this mechanism could be more generically useful than that for
network filesystems. Quite often they have to keep around other resources
(e.g. authentication tokens or network connections) until the writeback is
complete.

In preparation for factoring out some backing file io helpers from
overlayfs, move backing_file_open() into a new file fs/backing-file.c
and header.
Add a MAINTAINERS entry for stackable filesystems and add a Kconfig
FS_STACK which stackable filesystems need to select.
For now, the backing_file struct, the backing_file alloc/free functions
and the backing_file_real_path() accessor remain internal to file_table.c.
We may change that in the future.

Bring in the changes to the file infrastructure for this cycle. Mostly
cleanups and some performance tweaks.
* file: remove __receive_fd()
* file: stop exposing receive_fd_user()
* fs: replace f_rcuhead with f_task_work
* file: remove pointless wrapper
* file: s/close_fd_get_file()/file_close_fd()/g
* Improve __fget_files_rcu() code generation (and thus __fget_light())
* file: massage cleanup of files that failed to open

/proc/pid/maps shows device and inode numbers of vma->vm_file-s. Here is
an issue. If a mapped file is on a stackable file system (e.g.,
overlayfs), vma->vm_file is a backing file whose f_inode is on the
underlying filesystem. To show correct numbers, we need to get a user
file and shows its numbers. The same trick is used to show file paths in
/proc/pid/maps.

Identify EVM unsupported filesystems by defining a new flag
SB_I_EVM_UNSUPPORTED.
Don't verify, write, remove or update 'security.evm' on unsupported
filesystems.

generic_copy_file_range() is just a wrapper around splice_file_range(),
which caps the maximum copy length.
The only caller of splice_file_range(), namely __ceph_copy_file_range()
is already ready to cope with short copy.
Move the length capping into splice_file_range() and replace the exported
symbol generic_copy_file_range() with a simple inline helper.

The naming is actively misleading since we switched to
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. rcu_head is #define callback_head. Use
callback_head directly and rename f_rcuhead to f_task_work.
Add comments in there to explain what it's used for.
