ovl: allow to specify override credentials
Currently overlayfs uses the mounter's credentials for it's
override_creds() calls. That provides a consistent permission model.
This patches allows a caller to instruct overlayfs to use its
credentials instead. The caller must be located in the same user
namespace hierarchy as the user namespace the overlayfs instance will be
mounted in. This provides a consistent and simple security model.
With this it is possible to e.g., mount an overlayfs instance where the
mounter must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN but the credentials used for
override_creds() have dropped CAP_SYS_ADMIN. It also allows the usage of
custom fs{g,u}id different from the callers and other tweaks.

VFS: add common error checks to lookup_one_qstr_excl()
Callers of lookup_one_qstr_excl() often check if the result is negative or positive. These changes can easily be moved into lookup_one_qstr_excl() by checking the lookup flags: LOOKUP_CREATE means it is NOT an error if the name doesn't exist. LOOKUP_EXCL means it IS an error if the name DOES exist. This patch adds these checks, then removes error checks from callers, and ensures that appropriate flags are passed. This subtly changes the meaning of LOOKUP_EXCL. Previously it could only accompany LOOKUP_CREATE. Now it can accompany LOOKUP_RENAME_TARGET as well. A couple of small changes are needed to accommodate this. The NFS change is functionally a no-op but ensures nfs_is_exclusive_create() does exactly what the name says.

VFS: change kern_path_locked() and user_path_locked_at() to never return negative dentry
No callers of kern_path_locked() or user_path_locked_at() want a
negative dentry. So change them to return -ENOENT instead. This
simplifies callers.
This results in a subtle change to bcachefs in that an ioctl will now
return -ENOENT in preference to -EXDEV. I believe this restores the
behaviour to what it was prior to

iomap: add a IOMAP_F_ANON_WRITE flag
Add a IOMAP_F_ANON_WRITE flag that indicates that the write I/O does not have a target block assigned to it yet at iomap time and the file system will do that in the bio submission handler, splitting the I/O as needed. This is used to implement Zone Append based I/O for zoned XFS, where splitting writes to the hardware limits and assigning a zone to them happens just before sending the I/O off to the block layer, but could also be useful for other things like compressed I/O.

Provide stable parent and name to ->d_revalidate() instances
Most of the filesystem methods where we care about dentry name
and parent have their stability guaranteed by the callers;
->d_revalidate() is the major exception.
It's easy enough for callers to supply stable values for
expected name and expected parent of the dentry being
validated. That kills quite a bit of boilerplate in
->d_revalidate() instances, along with a bunch of races
where they used to access ->d_name without sufficient
precautions.

Driver core and debugfs updates
Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1.
It's coming late in the merge cycle as there are a number of merge
conflicts with your tree now, and I wanted to make sure they were
working properly. To resolve them, look in linux-next, and I will send
the "fixup" patch as a response to the pull request.
Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust
bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the
merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to
mark things as const, which will also require some fixups due to new
stuff coming in through other trees in this merge window.
There are also a bunch of debugfs updates from Al, and there is at least
one user that does have a regression with these, but Al is working on
tracking down the fix for it. In my use (and everyone else's linux-next
use), it does not seem like a big issue at the moment.
Here's a short list of the things in here:
- driver core bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o functions.
We are almost at the "write a real driver in rust" stage now,
depending on what you want to do.
- misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use
them
- debugfs cleanups in the fs as well as the users of the fs api for
places where drivers got it wrong or were unnecessarily doing things
in complex ways.
- driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for
different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall.
- other small fixes and updates
All of these have been in linux-next with all of the aforementioned
merge conflicts, and the one debugfs issue, which looks to be resolved
"soon".

9p: fix ->rename_sem exclusion
9p wants to be able to build a path from given dentry to fs root and keep it valid over a blocking operation. ->s_vfs_rename_mutex would be a natural candidate, but there are places where we need that and where we have no way to tell if ->s_vfs_rename_mutex is already held deeper in callchain. Moreover, it's only held for cross-directory renames; name changes within the same directory happen without it. Solution: * have d_move() done in ->rename() rather than in its caller * maintain a 9p-private rwsem (per-filesystem) * hold it exclusive over the relevant part of ->rename() * hold it shared over the places where we want the path. That almost works. FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE is enough to put all d_move() and d_exchange() calls under filesystem's control. However, there's also __d_unalias(), which isn't covered by any of that. If ->lookup() hits a directory inode with preexisting dentry elsewhere (due to e.g. rename done on server behind our back), d_splice_alias() called by ->lookup() will move/rename that alias. Add a couple of optional methods, so that __d_unalias() would do if alias->d_op->d_unalias_trylock != NULL if (!alias->d_op->d_unalias_trylock(alias)) fail (resulting in -ESTALE from lookup) __d_move(...) if alias->d_op->d_unalias_unlock != NULL alias->d_unalias_unlock(alias) where it currently does __d_move(). 9p instances do down_write_trylock() and up_write() of ->rename_mutex.

Pass parent directory inode and expected name to ->d_revalidate()
->d_revalidate() often needs to access dentry parent and name; that has to be done carefully, since the locking environment varies from caller to caller. We are not guaranteed that dentry in question will not be moved right under us - not unless the filesystem is such that nothing on it ever gets renamed. It can be dealt with, but that results in boilerplate code that isn't even needed - the callers normally have just found the dentry via dcache lookup and want to verify that it's in the right place; they already have the values of ->d_parent and ->d_name stable. There is a couple of exceptions (overlayfs and, to less extent, ecryptfs), but for the majority of calls that song and dance is not needed at all. It's easier to make ecryptfs and overlayfs find and pass those values if there's a ->d_revalidate() instance to be called, rather than doing that in the instances. This commit only changes the calling conventions; making use of supplied values is left to followups. NOTE: some instances need more than just the parent - things like CIFS may need to build an entire path from filesystem root, so they need more precautions than the usual boilerplate. This series doesn't do anything to that need - these filesystems have to keep their locking mechanisms (rename_lock loops, use of dentry_path_raw(), private rwsem a-la v9fs). One thing to keep in mind when using name is that name->name will normally point into the pathname being resolved; the filename in question occupies name->len bytes starting at name->name, and there is NUL somewhere after it, but it the next byte might very well be '/' rather than '\0'. Do not ignore name->len. Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <gabriel@krisman.be> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> |

indivudual patches which are described in their changelogs. - "Allocate and free frozen pages" from Matthew Wilcox reorganizes the page allocator so we end up with the ability to allocate and free zero-refcount pages. So that callers (ie, slab) can avoid a refcount inc & dec. - "Support large folios for tmpfs" from Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to use large folios other than PMD-sized ones. - "Fix mm/rodata_test" from Petr Tesarik performs some maintenance and fixes for this small built-in kernel selftest. - "mas_anode_descend() related cleanup" from Wei Yang tidies up part of the mapletree code. - "mm: fix format issues and param types" from Keren Sun implements a few minor code cleanups. - "simplify split calculation" from Wei Yang provides a few fixes and a test for the mapletree code. - "mm/vma: make more mmap logic userland testable" from Lorenzo Stoakes continues the work of moving vma-related code into the (relatively) new mm/vma.c. - "mm/page_alloc: gfp flags cleanups for alloc_contig_*()" from David Hildenbrand cleans up and rationalizes handling of gfp flags in the page allocator. - "readahead: Reintroduce fix for improper RA window sizing" from Jan Kara is a second attempt at fixing a readahead window sizing issue. It should reduce the amount of unnecessary reading. - "synchronously scan and reclaim empty user PTE pages" from Qi Zheng addresses an issue where "huge" amounts of pte pagetables are accumulated (https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1718267194.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com/). Qi's series addresses this windup by synchronously freeing PTE memory within the context of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED). - "selftest/mm: Remove warnings found by adding compiler flags" from Muhammad Usama Anjum fixes some build warnings in the selftests code when optional compiler warnings are enabled. - "mm: don't use __GFP_HARDWALL when migrating remote pages" from David Hildenbrand tightens the allocator's observance of __GFP_HARDWALL. - "pkeys kselftests improvements" from Kevin Brodsky implements various fixes and cleanups in the MM selftests code, mainly pertaining to the pkeys tests. - "mm/damon: add sample modules" from SeongJae Park enhances DAMON to estimate application working set size. - "memcg/hugetlb: Rework memcg hugetlb charging" from Joshua Hahn provides some cleanups to memcg's hugetlb charging logic. - "mm/swap_cgroup: remove global swap cgroup lock" from Kairui Song removes the global swap cgroup lock.

ksm: add ksm involvement information for each process
In /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat, add two extra ksm involvement items including
KSM_mergeable and KSM_merge_any. It helps administrators to better know
the system's KSM behavior at process level.
ksm_merge_any: yes/no
whether the process'mm is added by prctl() into the candidate list
of KSM or not, and fully enabled at process level.
ksm_mergeable: yes/no
whether any VMAs of the process'mm are currently applicable to KSM.
Purpose
=======
These two items are just to improve the observability of KSM at process
level, so that users can know if a certain process has enabled KSM.
For example, if without these two items, when we look at
/proc/<pid>/ksm_stat and there's no merging pages found, We are not sure
whether it is because KSM was not enabled or because KSM did not
successfully merge any pages.
Although "mg" in /proc/<pid>/smaps indicate VM_MERGEABLE, it's opaque
and not very obvious for non professionals.

Documentation: update the Squashfs filesystem documentation
This patch updates the following which are out of date. - Zstd has been added to the compression algorithms supported. - The filesystem mailing list (for the kernel code) is changed to linux-fsdevel rather than the now very little used Sourceforge mailing list. - The Squashfs website has been changed to the Squashfs-tools github repository. - The fact that Squashfs-tools is likely packaged by the linux distribution is mentioned.

bcachefs updates for 6.14-rc1
Lots of scalability work, another big on disk format change. On disk
format version goes from 1.13 to 1.20.
Like 6.11, this is another big and expensive automatic/required on disk
format upgrade. This is planned to be the last big on disk format
upgrade before the experimental label comes off. There will be one more
minor on disk format update for a few things that couldn't make this
release.
Headline improvements:
- Fix mount time regression that some users encountered post the 6.11
disk accounting rewrite.
Accounting keys were encoded little endian (typetag in the low bits) -
which didn't anticipate adding accounting keys for every inode, which
aren't stored in memory and we don't want to scan at mount time.
- fsck time on large filesystems is improved by multiple orders of
magnitude. Previously, 100TB was about the practical max filesystem
size, where users were reporting fsck times of a day+. With the new
changes (which nearly eliminate backpointers fsck overhead), we fsck'd
a filesystem with 10PB of data in 1.5 hours.
The problematic fsck passes were walking every extent and checking for
missing backpointers, and walking every backpointer to check for
dangling backpointers. As we've been adding more and more runtime self
healing there was no reason to keep around the backpointers -> extents
pass; dangling backpointers are just deleted, and we can do that when
using them - thus, backpointers -> extents is now only run in debug
mode.
extents -> backpointers does need to exist, since missing backpointers
would mean we can't find data to move it (for e.g. copygc, device
evacuate, scrub). But the new on disk format version makes possible a
new strategy where we sum up backpointers within a bucket and check it
against the bucket sector counts, and then only scan for missing
backpointers if the counts are off (and then, only for specific
buckets).
Full list of on disk format changes:
- 1.14: backpointer_bucket_gen
Backpointers now have a field for the bucket generation number,
replacing the obsolete bucket_offset field. This is needed for the
new "sum up backpointers within a bucket" code, since backpointers use
the btree write buffer - meaning we will see stale reads, and this
runs online, with the filesystem in full rw mode.
- 1.15: disk_accounting_big_endian
As previously described, fix the endianness of accounting keys so that
accounting keys with the same typetag sort together, and accounting
read can skip types it's not interested in.
- 1.16: reflink_p_may_update_opts:
This version indicates that a new reflink pointer field is understood
and may be used; the field indicates whether the reflink pointer has
permissions to update IO path options (e.g. compression, replicas) may
be updated on the indirect extent it points to.
This completes the rebalance/reflink data path option handling from
the 6.13 pull request.
- 1.17: inode_depth
Add a new inode field, bi_depth, to accelerate the
check_directory_structure fsck path, which checks for loops in the
filesystem heirarchy.
check_inodes and check_dirents check connectivity, so
check_directory_structure only has to check for loops - by walking
back up to the root from every directory.
But a path can't be a loop if it has a counter that increases
monotonically from root to leaf - adding a depth counter means that we
can check for loops with only local (parent -> child) checks. We might
need to occasionally renumber the depth field in fsck if directories
have been moved around, but then future fsck runs will be much faster.
- 1.18: persistent_inode_cursors
Previously, the cursor used for inode allocation was only kept in
memory, which meant that users with large filesystems and lots of
files were reporting that the first create after mounting would take
awhile - since it had to scan from the start.
Inode allocation cursors are now persistent, and also include a
generation field (incremented on wraparound, which will only happen if
inode allocation is restricted to 32 bit inodes), so that we don't
have to leave inode_generation keys around after a delete.
The option for 32 bit inode numbers may now also be set on individual
directories, and non-32 bit inode allocations are disallowed from
allocating from the 32 bit part of the inode number space.
- 1.19: autofix_errors
Runtime self healing is now the default.o
- 1.20: directory size (from Hongbo)
directory i_size is now meaningful, and not 0.
Release notes from the previous 6.13 pull request:
- Self healing work:
Allocator and reflink now run the exact same check/repair code that
fsck does at runtime, where applicable.
The long term goal here is to remove inconsistent() errors (that cause
us to go emergency read only) by lifting fsck code up to normal
runtime paths; we should only go emergency read-only if we detect an
inconsistency that was due to a runtime bug - or truly catastrophic
damage (corrupted btree roots/interior nodes).
- Reflink repair no longer deletes reflink pointers: instead we flip an
error bit and log the error, and they can still be deleted by file
deletion. This means a temporary failure to find an indirect extent
(perhaps repaired later by btree node scan) won't result in
unnecessary data loss
- Improvements to rebalance data path option handling: we can now
correctly apply changed filesystem-level io path options to pending
rebalance work, and soon we'll be able to apply file-level io path
option changes to indirect extents.

Merge tag 'bcachefs-2025-01-20.2' of git://evilpiepirate.org/bcachefs
Pull bcachefs updates from Kent Overstreet:
"Lots of scalability work, another big on-disk format change. On-disk
format version goes from 1.13 to 1.20.
Like 6.11, this is another big and expensive automatic/required on
disk format upgrade. This is planned to be the last big on disk format
upgrade before the experimental label comes off. There will be one
more minor on disk format update for a few things that couldn't make
this release.
Headline improvements:
- Self healing work:
Allocator and reflink now run the exact same check/repair code that
fsck does at runtime, where applicable.
The long term goal here is to remove inconsistent() errors (that
cause us to go emergency read only) by lifting fsck code up to
normal runtime paths; we should only go emergency read-only if we
detect an inconsistency that was due to a runtime bug - or truly
catastrophic damage (corrupted btree roots/interior nodes).
- Reflink repair no longer deletes reflink pointers:
Instead we flip an error bit and log the error, and they can still
be deleted by file deletion. This means a temporary failure to find
an indirect extent (perhaps repaired later by btree node scan)
won't result in unnecessary data loss
- Improvements to rebalance data path option handling:
We can now correctly apply changed filesystem-level io path options
to pending rebalance work, and soon we'll be able to apply
file-level io path option changes to indirect extents
- Fix mount time regression that some users encountered post the 6.11
disk accounting rewrite.
Accounting keys were encoded little endian (typetag in the low
bits) - which didn't anticipate adding accounting keys for every
inode, which aren't stored in memory and we don't want to scan at
mount time.
- fsck time on large filesystems is improved by multiple orders of
magnitude. Previously, 100TB was about the practical max filesystem
size, where users were reporting fsck times of a day+. With the new
changes (which nearly eliminate backpointers fsck overhead), we
fsck'd a filesystem with 10PB of data in 1.5 hours.
The problematic fsck passes were walking every extent and checking
for missing backpointers, and walking every backpointer to check
for dangling backpointers. As we've been adding more and more
runtime self healing there was no reason to keep around the
backpointers -> extents pass; dangling backpointers are just
deleted, and we can do that when using them - thus, backpointers ->
extents is now only run in debug mode.
extents -> backpointers does need to exist, since missing
backpointers would mean we can't find data to move it (for e.g.
copygc, device evacuate, scrub). But the new on disk format version
makes possible a new strategy where we sum up backpointers within a
bucket and check it against the bucket sector counts, and then only
scan for missing backpointers if the counts are off (and then, only
for specific buckets).
Full list of on disk format changes:
- 1.14: backpointer_bucket_gen
Backpointers now have a field for the bucket generation number,
replacing the obsolete bucket_offset field. This is needed for the
new "sum up backpointers within a bucket" code, since backpointers
use the btree write buffer - meaning we will see stale reads, and
this runs online, with the filesystem in full rw mode.
- 1.15: disk_accounting_big_endian
As previously described, fix the endianness of accounting keys so
that accounting keys with the same typetag sort together, and
accounting read can skip types it's not interested in.
- 1.16: reflink_p_may_update_opts:
This version indicates that a new reflink pointer field is
understood and may be used; the field indicates whether the reflink
pointer has permissions to update IO path options (e.g.
compression, replicas) may be updated on the indirect extent it
points to.
This completes the rebalance/reflink data path option handling from
the 6.13 pull request.
- 1.17: inode_depth
Add a new inode field, bi_depth, to accelerate the
check_directory_structure fsck path, which checks for loops in the
filesystem heirarchy.
check_inodes and check_dirents check connectivity, so
check_directory_structure only has to check for loops - by walking
back up to the root from every directory.
But a path can't be a loop if it has a counter that increases
monotonically from root to leaf - adding a depth counter means that
we can check for loops with only local (parent -> child) checks. We
might need to occasionally renumber the depth field in fsck if
directories have been moved around, but then future fsck runs will
be much faster.
- 1.18: persistent_inode_cursors
Previously, the cursor used for inode allocation was only kept in
memory, which meant that users with large filesystems and lots of
files were reporting that the first create after mounting would
take awhile - since it had to scan from the start.
Inode allocation cursors are now persistent, and also include a
generation field (incremented on wraparound, which will only happen
if inode allocation is restricted to 32 bit inodes), so that we
don't have to leave inode_generation keys around after a delete.
The option for 32 bit inode numbers may now also be set on
individual directories, and non-32 bit inode allocations are
disallowed from allocating from the 32 bit part of the inode number
space.
- 1.19: autofix_errors
Runtime self healing is now the default.o
- 1.20: directory size (from Hongbo)
directory i_size is now meaningful, and not 0"

saner replacement for debugfs_rename()
Existing primitive has several problems: 1) calling conventions are clumsy - it returns a dentry reference that is either identical to its second argument or is an ERR_PTR(-E...); in both cases no refcount changes happen. Inconvenient for users and bug-prone; it would be better to have it return 0 on success and -E... on failure. 2) it allows cross-directory moves; however, no such caller have ever materialized and considering the way debugfs is used, it's unlikely to happen in the future. What's more, any such caller would have fun issues to deal with wrt interplay with recursive removal. It also makes the calling conventions clumsier... 3) tautological rename fails; the callers have no race-free way to deal with that. 4) new name must have been formed by the caller; quite a few callers have it done by sprintf/kasprintf/etc., ending up with considerable boilerplate. Proposed replacement: int debugfs_change_name(dentry, fmt, ...). All callers convert to that easily, and it's simpler internally. IMO debugfs_rename() should go; if we ever get a real-world use case for cross-directory moves in debugfs, we can always look into the right way to handle that.

nfs: probe for LOCALIO when v3 client reconnects to server
Re-enabling NFSv3 LOCALIO is made more complex (than NFSv4) because v3 is stateless. As such, the hueristic used to identify a LOCALIO probe point is more adhoc by nature: if/when NFSv3 client IO begins to complete again in terms of normal RPC-based NFSv3 server IO, attempt nfs_local_probe_async(). Care is taken to throttle the frequency of nfs_local_probe_async(), otherwise there could be a flood of repeat calls to nfs_local_probe_async(). The throttle is admin controlled using a new module parameter for nfsv3, e.g.: echo 512 > /sys/module/nfsv3/parameters/nfs3_localio_probe_throttle Probe for NFSv3 LOCALIO every N IO requests (512 in this case). Must be power-of-2, defaults to 0 (probing disabled). On systems that expect to use LOCALIO with NFSv3 the admin should configure the 'nfs3_localio_probe_throttle' module parameter.

nfs/localio: add direct IO enablement with sync and async IO support
This commit simply adds the required O_DIRECT plumbing. It doesn't address the fact that NFS doesn't ensure all writes are page aligned (nor device logical block size aligned as required by O_DIRECT). Because NFS will read-modify-write for IO that isn't aligned, LOCALIO will not use O_DIRECT semantics by default if/when an application requests the use of O_DIRECT. Allow the use of O_DIRECT semantics by: 1: Adding a flag to the nfs_pgio_header struct to allow the NFS O_DIRECT layer to signal that O_DIRECT was used by the application 2: Adding a 'localio_O_DIRECT_semantics' NFS module parameter that when enabled will cause LOCALIO to use O_DIRECT semantics (this may cause IO to fail if applications do not properly align their IO). This commit is derived from code developed by Weston Andros Adamson.

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.

"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

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)"

iomap: remove iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc
Currently iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc can be called from XFS either with the invalidate lock held or not. To fix this while keeping the locking in the file system and not the iomap library code we'll need to life the locking up into the file system. To prepare for that, open code iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc in the only caller, and instead export iomap_write_delalloc_release.

Merge patch series "timekeeping/fs: multigrain timestamp redux"
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). * patches from https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241002-mgtime-v10-0-d1c4717f5284@kernel.org: tmpfs: add support for multigrain timestamps btrfs: convert to multigrain timestamps ext4: switch to multigrain timestamps xfs: switch to multigrain timestamps Documentation: add a new file documenting multigrain timestamps fs: add percpu counters for significant multigrain timestamp events fs: tracepoints around multigrain timestamp events fs: handle delegated timestamps in setattr_copy_mgtime fs: have setattr_copy handle multigrain timestamps appropriately fs: add infrastructure for multigrain timestamps Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241002-mgtime-v10-0-d1c4717f5284@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> |

Merge patch series "Fixup NLM and kNFSD file lock callbacks"
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. * patches from https://lore.kernel.org/r/cover.1726083391.git.bcodding@redhat.com: exportfs: Remove EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK NLM/NFSD: Fix lock notifications for async-capable filesystems gfs2/ocfs2: set FOP_ASYNC_LOCK fs: Introduce FOP_ASYNC_LOCK NFS: trace: show TIMEDOUT instead of 0x6e nfsd: use system_unbound_wq for nfsd_file_gc_worker() nfsd: count nfsd_file allocations nfsd: fix refcount leak when file is unhashed after being found nfsd: remove unneeded EEXIST error check in nfsd_do_file_acquire nfsd: add list_head nf_gc to struct nfsd_file Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/cover.1726083391.git.bcodding@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> |

bcachefs changes for 6.12-rc1
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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEKnAFLkS8Qha+jvQrE6szbY3KbnYFAmbvHQoACgkQE6szbY3K bnYfAw/+IXQ43/O+Jzs0MLD7pKZnrlbHiX9FqYLazD40vWvkyRTQOwgTn8pVNhq3 4YWmtuZyqh036YC+bGqYFOhz20YetS5UdgbClpwmc99JJ6xsY+Z1mdpYfz5oq1Dw /pBX5iYb3rAt8UbQoZ8lcWM+GpT3GKJVgJuiLB2gRp9gATFesuh+0qU42oIVVVU5 4y3VhDBUmRk4XqEnk8hr7EIDMW0wWP3aptxYMZzeUPW0x1cEQ+FWrJo5D6lXv2KK dKv3MogvA0FFNi/eNexclPiu2pXtI7vrxT7umsxAICHLt41rWpV5ttE6io3bC4ZN qvwF9w2CpmKPKchFru9PO+QrWHVR7e6bphwf3TzyoKZ7tTn42f1RQlub7gBzI3bz ai5ZwGRIvpUoPVBj+CO+Ipog81uUb23Ma+gXg1akEFBOAb+o7I3KOOSBh5l+0cHj 3Ov1n0TLcsoO2cqoqfsV2QubW9YcWEZ76g5mKwQnUn8Cs6Fp0wWaIyK9aNkIAxcr tNDPGtH1gKitxUvju5i/LyI7y1UoeFvqJFee0VsU6QnixHn1ySzhePsJt6UEnIJT Ia3C96Igqu2mV9FxhfGHj/qi7TGjqqkZHa8+B610cDpgf15cx7Ps2DYjkuQMFCqZ Q3Q1o5De9roRq5xF2hLiYJCbzJKqd5ichFsBtLQuX572ICxbICg= =oVCy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'bcachefs-2024-09-21' of git://evilpiepirate.org/bcachefs Pull bcachefs updates from Kent Overstreet: - 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.

There has been efforts over the last 16 years to enable enable Large Block Sizes (LBS), that is block sizes in filesystems where bs > page size. Through these efforts we have learned that one of the main blockers to supporting bs > ps in filesystems has been a way to allocate pages that are at least the filesystem block size on the page cache where bs > ps. Thanks to various previous efforts it is possible to support bs > ps in XFS with only a few changes in XFS itself. Most changes are to the page cache to support minimum order folio support for the target block size on the filesystem. A motivation for Large Block Sizes today is to support high-capacity (large amount of Terabytes) QLC SSDs where the internal Indirection Unit (IU) are typically greater than 4k to help reduce DRAM and so in turn cost and space. In practice this then allows different architectures to use a base page size of 4k while still enabling support for block sizes aligned to the larger IUs by relying on high order folios on the page cache when needed. It also allows to take advantage of the drive's support for atomics larger than 4k with buffered IO support in Linux. As described this year at LSFMM, supporting large atomics greater than 4k enables databases to remove the need to rely on their own journaling, so they can disable double buffered writes, which is a feature different cloud providers are already enabling through custom storage solutions" * tag 'vfs-6.12.blocksize' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (22 commits) Documentation: iomap: fix a typo iomap: remove the iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc return value iomap: pass the iomap to the punch callback iomap: pass flags to iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc iomap: improve shared block detection in iomap_unshare_iter iomap: handle a post-direct I/O invalidate race in iomap_write_delalloc_release docs:filesystems: fix spelling and grammar mistakes in iomap design page filemap: fix htmldoc warning for mapping_align_index() iomap: make zero range flush conditional on unwritten mappings iomap: fix handling of dirty folios over unwritten extents iomap: add a private argument for iomap_file_buffered_write iomap: remove set_memor_ro() on zero page xfs: enable block size larger than page size support xfs: make the calculation generic in xfs_sb_validate_fsb_count() xfs: expose block size in stat xfs: use kvmalloc for xattr buffers iomap: fix iomap_dio_zero() for fs bs > system page size filemap: cap PTE range to be created to allowed zero fill in folio_map_range() mm: split a folio in minimum folio order chunks readahead: allocate folios with mapping_min_order in readahead ... |

Those callbacks which haven't been converted were left as-is due to the general ugliness of the changes required to support the static call conversion; we can revisit those callbacks at a future date. - Add the Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE) LSM This adds a new LSM, Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE). There is plenty of documentation about IPE in this patches, so I'll refrain from going into too much detail here, but the basic motivation behind IPE is to provide a mechanism such that administrators can restrict execution to only those binaries which come from integrity protected storage, e.g. a dm-verity protected filesystem. You will notice that IPE requires additional LSM hooks in the initramfs, dm-verity, and fs-verity code, with the associated patches carrying ACK/review tags from the associated maintainers. We couldn't find an obvious maintainer for the initramfs code, but the IPE patchset has been widely posted over several years. Both Deven Bowers and Fan Wu have contributed to IPE's development over the past several years, with Fan Wu agreeing to serve as the IPE maintainer moving forward. Once IPE is accepted into your tree, I'll start working with Fan to ensure he has the necessary accounts, keys, etc. so that he can start submitting IPE pull requests to you directly during the next merge window. - Move the lifecycle management of the LSM blobs to the LSM framework Management of the LSM blobs (the LSM state buffers attached to various kernel structs, typically via a void pointer named "security" or similar) has been mixed, some blobs were allocated/managed by individual LSMs, others were managed by the LSM framework itself. Starting with this pull we move management of all the LSM blobs, minus the XFRM blob, into the framework itself, improving consistency across LSMs, and reducing the amount of duplicated code across LSMs. Due to some additional work required to migrate the XFRM blob, it has been left as a todo item for a later date; from a practical standpoint this omission should have little impact as only SELinux provides a XFRM LSM implementation. - Fix problems with the LSM's handling of F_SETOWN The LSM hook for the fcntl(F_SETOWN) operation had a couple of problems: it was racy with itself, and it was disconnected from the associated DAC related logic in such a way that the LSM state could be updated in cases where the DAC state would not. We fix both of these problems by moving the security_file_set_fowner() hook into the same section of code where the DAC attributes are updated. Not only does this resolve the DAC/LSM synchronization issue, but as that code block is protected by a lock, it also resolve the race condition. - Fix potential problems with the security_inode_free() LSM hook Due to use of RCU to protect inodes and the placement of the LSM hook associated with freeing the inode, there is a bit of a challenge when it comes to managing any LSM state associated with an inode. The VFS folks are not open to relocating the LSM hook so we have to get creative when it comes to releasing an inode's LSM state. Traditionally we have used a single LSM callback within the hook that is triggered when the inode is "marked for death", but not actually released due to RCU. Unfortunately, this causes problems for LSMs which want to take an action when the inode's associated LSM state is actually released; so we add an additional LSM callback, inode_free_security_rcu(), that is called when the inode's LSM state is released in the RCU free callback. - Refactor two LSM hooks to better fit the LSM return value patterns The vast majority of the LSM hooks follow the "return 0 on success, negative values on failure" pattern, however, there are a small handful that have unique return value behaviors which has caused confusion in the past and makes it difficult for the BPF verifier to properly vet BPF LSM programs. This includes patches to convert two of these"special" LSM hooks to the common 0/-ERRNO pattern. - Various cleanups and improvements A handful of patches to remove redundant code, better leverage the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() helper, add missing "static" markings, and do some minor style fixups. * tag 'lsm-pr-20240911' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/lsm: (40 commits) security: Update file_set_fowner documentation fs: Fix file_set_fowner LSM hook inconsistencies lsm: Use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() helper function lsm: remove LSM_COUNT and LSM_CONFIG_COUNT ipe: Remove duplicated include in ipe.c lsm: replace indirect LSM hook calls with static calls lsm: count the LSMs enabled at compile time kernel: Add helper macros for loop unrolling init/main.c: Initialize early LSMs after arch code, static keys and calls.

Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work to improve read/write performance for the new
netfs library.
The main performance enhancing changes are:
- Define a structure, struct folio_queue, and a new iterator type,
ITER_FOLIOQ, to hold a buffer as a replacement for ITER_XARRAY. See
that patch for questions about naming and form.
ITER_FOLIOQ is provided as a replacement for ITER_XARRAY. The
problem with an xarray is that accessing it requires the use of a
lock (typically the RCU read lock) - and this means that we can't
supply iterate_and_advance() with a step function that might sleep
(crypto for example) without having to drop the lock between pages.
ITER_FOLIOQ is the iterator for a chain of folio_queue structs,
where each folio_queue holds a small list of folios. A folio_queue
struct is a simpler structure than xarray and is not subject to
concurrent manipulation by the VM. folio_queue is used rather than
a bvec[] as it can form lists of indefinite size, adding to one end
and removing from the other on the fly.
- Provide a copy_folio_from_iter() wrapper.
- Make cifs RDMA support ITER_FOLIOQ.
- Use folio queues in the write-side helpers instead of xarrays.
- Add a function to reset the iterator in a subrequest.
- Simplify the write-side helpers to use sheaves to skip gaps rather
than trying to work out where gaps are.
- In afs, make the read subrequests asynchronous, putting them into
work items to allow the next patch to do progressive
unlocking/reading.
- Overhaul the read-side helpers to improve performance.
- Fix the caching of a partial block at the end of a file.
- Allow a store to be cancelled.
Then some changes for cifs to make it use folio queues instead of
xarrays for crypto bufferage:
- Use raw iteration functions rather than manually coding iteration
when hashing data.
- Switch to using folio_queue for crypto buffers.
- Remove the xarray bits.
Make some adjustments to the /proc/fs/netfs/stats file such that:
- All the netfs stats lines begin 'Netfs:' but change this to
something a bit more useful.
- Add a couple of stats counters to track the numbers of skips and
waits on the per-inode writeback serialisation lock to make it
easier to check for this as a source of performance loss.
Miscellaneous work:
- Ensure that the sb_writers lock is taken around
vfs_{set,remove}xattr() in the cachefiles code.
- Reduce the number of conditional branches in netfs_perform_write().
- Move the CIFS_INO_MODIFIED_ATTR flag to the netfs_inode struct and
remove cifs_post_modify().
- Move the max_len/max_nr_segs members from netfs_io_subrequest to
netfs_io_request as they're only needed for one subreq at a time.
- Add an 'unknown' source value for tracing purposes.
- Remove NETFS_COPY_TO_CACHE as it's no longer used.
- Set the request work function up front at allocation time.
- Use bh-disabling spinlocks for rreq->lock as cachefiles completion
may be run from block-filesystem DIO completion in softirq context.
- Remove fs/netfs/io.c"

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
- Don't flush in-flight wb switches for superblocks without cgroup
writeback
- Correcting the idmapping mount example in the idmapping
documentation
- Fix a race between evice_inodes() and find_inode() and iput()
- Refine the show_inode_state() macro definition in writeback code
- Prevent dump_mapping() from accessing invalid dentry.d_name.name
- Show actual source for debugfs in /proc/mounts
- Annotate data-race of busy_poll_usecs in eventpoll
- Don't WARN for racy path_noexec check in exec code
- Handle OOM on mnt_warn_timestamp_expiry()
- Fix some spelling in the iomap design documentation
- Fix typo in procfs comment
- Fix typo in fs/namespace.c comment
Cleanups:
- Add the VFS git tree to the MAINTAINERS file
- Move FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET to fop_flags freeing up another f_mode
bit in struct file bringing us to 5 free f_mode bits
- Remove the __I_DIO_WAKEUP bit from i_state flags as we can simplify
the wait mechanism
- Remove the unused path_put_init() helper
- Replace a __u32 with u32 for s_fsnotify_mask as __u32 is uapi
specific
- Replace the unsigned long i_state member with a u32 i_state member
in struct inode freeing up 4 bytes in struct inode. Instead of
using the bit based wait apis we're now using the var event apis
and using the individual bytes of the i_state member to wait on
state changes
- Explain how per-syscall AT_* flags should be allocated
- Use in_group_or_capable() helper to simplify the posix acl mode
update code
- Switch to LIST_HEAD() in fsync_buffers_list() to simplify the code
- Removed comment about d_rcu_to_refcount() as that function doesn't
exist anymore
- Add kernel documentation for lookup_fast()
- Don't re-zero evenpoll fields
- Remove outdated comment after close_fd()
- Fix imprecise wording in comment about the pipe filesystem
- Drop GFP_NOFAIL mode from alloc_page_buffers
- Missing blank line warnings and struct declaration improved in
file_table
- Annotate struct poll_list with __counted_by()
- Remove the unused read parameter in percpu-rwsem
- Remove linux/prefetch.h include from direct-io code
- Use kmemdup_array instead of kmemdup for multiple allocation in
mnt_idmapping code
- Remove unused mnt_cursor_del() declaration
Performance tweaks:
- Dodge smp_mb in break_lease and break_deleg in the common case
- Only read fops once in fops_{get,put}()
- Use RCU in ilookup()
- Elide smp_mb in iversion handling in the common case
- Drop one lock trip in evict()"

fsverity: expose verified fsverity built-in signatures to LSMs
This patch enhances fsverity's capabilities to support both integrity and authenticity protection by introducing the exposure of built-in signatures through a new LSM hook. This functionality allows LSMs, e.g. IPE, to enforce policies based on the authenticity and integrity of files, specifically focusing on built-in fsverity signatures. It enables a policy enforcement layer within LSMs for fsverity, offering granular control over the usage of authenticity claims. For instance, a policy could be established to only permit the execution of all files with verified built-in fsverity signatures. The introduction of a security_inode_setintegrity() hook call within fsverity's workflow ensures that the verified built-in signature of a file is exposed to LSMs. This enables LSMs to recognize and label fsverity files that contain a verified built-in fsverity signature. This hook is invoked subsequent to the fsverity_verify_signature() process, guaranteeing the signature's verification against fsverity's keyring. This mechanism is crucial for maintaining system security, as it operates in kernel space, effectively thwarting attempts by malicious binaries to bypass user space stack interactions. The second to last commit in this patch set will add a link to the IPE documentation in fsverity.rst.

netfs: clean up after renaming FSCACHE_DEBUG config
Commit 6b8e61472529 ("netfs: Rename CONFIG_FSCACHE_DEBUG to
CONFIG_NETFS_DEBUG") renames the config, but introduces two issues: First,
NETFS_DEBUG mistakenly depends on the non-existing config NETFS, whereas
the actual intended config is called NETFS_SUPPORT. Second, the config
renaming misses to adjust the documentation of the functionality of this
config.
Clean up those two points.

- 875fa64577da ("mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix race with speculative PFN
walkers") is known to cause a performance regression (https://lore.kernel.org/all/3acefad9-96e5-4681-8014-827d6be71c7a@linux.ibm.com/T/#mfa809800a7862fb5bdf834c6f71a3a5113eb83ff). Yu has a fix which I'll send along later via the hotfixes branch. - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code. These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels. - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to folio_alloc_mpol()" - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback" - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index". - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing. - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is "Restructure va_high_addr_switch". - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code". - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection". - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull. - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying. - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm: zswap: trivial folio conversions". - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark. It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Is anyone reading this stuff? If so, email me! - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park. - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does that. - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self testing code. - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable. - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM. - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1" - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim" adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file. - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to monitor and handle this situation. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing. - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements" does those things. - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock" Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization. - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block. - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information.
