git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs
Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"This series focuses on minor clean-ups and performance optimizations
across sysfs, documentation, debugfs, tracepoints, slab allocation,
and GC. Furthermore, it resolves several corner-case bugs caught by
xfstests, as well as issues related to 16KB page support and
f2fs_enable_checkpoint.
Enhancement:
- wrap ASCII tables in literal blocks to fix LaTeX build
- optimize trace_f2fs_write_checkpoint with enums
- support to show curseg.next_blkoff in debugfs
- add a sysfs entry to show max open zones
- add fadvise tracepoint
- use global inline_xattr_slab instead of per-sb slab cache
- set default valid_thresh_ratio to 80 for zoned devices
- maintain one time GC mode is enabled during whole zoned GC cycle
Bug fix:
- ensure node page reads complete before f2fs_put_super() finishes
- do not account invalid blocks in get_left_section_blocks()
- revert summary entry count from 2048 to 512 in 16kb block support
- detect recoverable inode during dryrun of find_fsync_dnodes()
- fix age extent cache insertion skip on counter overflow
- add sanity checks before unlinking and loading inodes
- ensure minimum trim granularity accounts for all devices
- block cache/dio write during f2fs_enable_checkpoint()
- propagate error from f2fs_enable_checkpoint()
- invalidate dentry cache on failed whiteout creation
- avoid updating compression context during writeback
- avoid updating zero-sized extent in extent cache
- avoid potential deadlock"

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
- Mike Snitzer's mechanism for disabling I/O caching introduced in
v6.18 is extended to include using direct I/O. The goal is to further
reduce the memory footprint consumed by NFS clients accessing large
data sets via NFSD.
- The NFSD community adopted a maintainer entry profile during this
cycle. See
Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsd-maintainer-entry-profile.rst
- Work continues on hardening NFSD's implementation of the pNFS block
layout type. This type enables pNFS clients to directly access the
underlying block devices that contain an exported file system,
reducing server overhead and increasing data throughput.
- The remaining patches are clean-ups and minor optimizations. Many
thanks to the contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug reporters who
participated during the v6.19 NFSD development cycle.

Pull persistent dentry infrastructure and conversion from Al Viro:
"Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to
pin dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing
those). A reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually
_stored_ anywhere.
That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other things, we
have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended to be an
unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether the
reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if that
removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is
pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using
kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special
cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self).
Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag
(DCACHE_PERSISTENT) marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set
claims responsibility for +1 in refcount.
The end result this series is aiming for:
- get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives
that would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear
persistency flag.
- instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the
remaining "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't
been removed prior to umount), have the regular
shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries,
dropping the corresponding reference if it had been set. After that
kill_litter_super() becomes an equivalent of kill_anon_super().
Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many
places in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series.
This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary
pieces have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting
to the meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions
to it.
Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of
that stuff is here"

Sphinx's LaTeX builder fails when converting the nested ASCII tables in
f2fs.rst, producing the following error:
"Markup is unsupported in LaTeX: longtable does not support nesting a table."
Wrap the affected ASCII tables in literal code blocks to force Sphinx to
render them verbatim. This prevents nested longtables and fixes the PDF
build failure on Sphinx 8.2.x.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This has been another busy cycle for documentation, with a lot of
build-system thrashing. That work should slow down from here on out.
- The various scripts and tools for documentation were spread out in
several directories; now they are (almost) all coalesced under
tools/docs/. The holdout is the kernel-doc script, which cannot be
easily moved without some further thought.
- As the amount of Python code increases, we are accumulating modules
that are imported by multiple programs. These modules have been
pulled together under tools/lib/python/ -- at least, for
documentation-related programs. There is other Python code in the
tree that might eventually want to move toward this organization.
- The Perl kernel-doc.pl script has been removed. It is no longer
used by default, and nobody has missed it, least of all anybody who
actually had to look at it.
- The docs build was controlled by a complex mess of makefilese that
few dared to touch. Mauro has moved that logic into a new program
(tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper) that, with any luck at all, will
be far easier to understand and maintain.
- The get_feat.pl program, used to access information under
Documentation/features/, has been rewritten in Python, bringing an
end to the use of Perl in the docs subsystem.
- The top-level README file has been reorganized into a more
reader-friendly presentation.
- A lot of Chinese translation additions

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
"This is the main crypto library pull request for 6.19. It includes:
- Add SHA-3 support to lib/crypto/, including support for both the
hash functions and the extendable-output functions. Reimplement the
existing SHA-3 crypto_shash support on top of the library.
This is motivated mainly by the upcoming support for the ML-DSA
signature algorithm, which needs the SHAKE128 and SHAKE256
functions. But even on its own it's a useful cleanup.
This also fixes the longstanding issue where the
architecture-optimized SHA-3 code was disabled by default.
- Add BLAKE2b support to lib/crypto/, and reimplement the existing
BLAKE2b crypto_shash support on top of the library.
This is motivated mainly by btrfs, which supports BLAKE2b
checksums. With this change, all btrfs checksum algorithms now have
library APIs. btrfs is planned to start just using the library
directly.
This refactor also improves consistency between the BLAKE2b code
and BLAKE2s code. And as usual, it also fixes the issue where the
architecture-optimized BLAKE2b code was disabled by default.
- Add POLYVAL support to lib/crypto/, replacing the existing POLYVAL
support in crypto_shash. Reimplement HCTR2 on top of the library.
This simplifies the code and improves HCTR2 performance. As usual,
it also makes the architecture-optimized code be enabled by
default. The generic implementation of POLYVAL is greatly improved
as well.
- Clean up the BLAKE2s code
- Add FIPS self-tests for SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3"

Pull directory locking updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work to add centralized APIs for directory locking
operations.
This series is part of a larger effort to change directory operation
locking to allow multiple concurrent operations in a directory. The
ultimate goal is to lock the target dentry(s) rather than the whole
parent directory.
To help with changing the locking protocol, this series centralizes
locking and lookup in new helper functions. The helpers establish a
pattern where it is the dentry that is being locked and unlocked
(currently the lock is held on dentry->d_parent->d_inode, but that can
change in the future).
This also changes vfs_mkdir() to unlock the parent on failure, as well
as dput()ing the dentry. This allows end_creating() to only require
the target dentry (which may be IS_ERR() after vfs_mkdir()), not the
parent"

resources give insight into how instances of a cache is used.
Update the annotated capacity bitmasks displayed by "bit_usage" to include the

is a global bitmask of shareable cache with I/O and can thus not present the

Introduce the "io_alloc_cbm" resctrl file to display the capacity bitmasks
(CBMs) that represent the portions of each cache instance allocated
for I/O traffic on a cache resource that supports the "io_alloc" feature.
io_alloc_cbm resides in the info directory of a cache resource, for example,
/sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3/. Since the resource name is part of the path, it
is not necessary to display the resource name as done in the schemata file.
When CDP is enabled, io_alloc routes traffic using the highest CLOSID
associated with the CDP_CODE resource and that CLOSID becomes unusable for
the CDP_DATA resource. The highest CLOSID of CDP_CODE and CDP_DATA resources
will be kept in sync to ensure consistent user interface. In preparation for
this, access the CBMs for I/O traffic through highest CLOSID of either
CDP_CODE or CDP_DATA resource.

AMD's SDCIAE forces all SDCI lines to be placed into the L3 cache portions
identified by the highest-supported L3_MASK_n register, where n is the maximum
supported CLOSID.
To support this, when io_alloc resctrl feature is enabled, reserve the highest
CLOSID exclusively for I/O allocation traffic making it no longer available for
general CPU cache allocation.
Introduce user interface to enable/disable io_alloc feature and encourage users
to enable io_alloc only when running workloads that can benefit from this
functionality. On enable, initialize the io_alloc CLOSID with all usable CBMs
across all the domains.
Since CLOSIDs are managed by resctrl fs, it is least invasive to make "io_alloc
is supported by maximum supported CLOSID" part of the initial resctrl fs
support for io_alloc. Take care to minimally (only in error messages) expose
this use of CLOSID for io_alloc to user space so that this is not required from
other architectures that may support io_alloc differently in the future.
When resctrl is mounted with "-o cdp" to enable code/data prioritization,
there are two L3 resources that can support I/O allocation: L3CODE and
L3DATA. From resctrl fs perspective the two resources share a CLOSID and
the architecture's available CLOSID are halved to support this.
The architecture's underlying CLOSID used by SDCIAE when CDP is enabled is the
CLOSID associated with the CDP_CODE resource, but from resctrl's perspective
there is only one CLOSID for both CDP_CODE and CDP_DATA. CDP_DATA is thus not
usable for general (CPU) cache allocation nor I/O allocation.
Keep the CDP_CODE and CDP_DATA I/O alloc status in sync to avoid any confusion
to user space. That is, enabling io_alloc on CDP_CODE does so on CDP_DATA and
vice-versa, and keep the I/O allocation CBMs of CDP_CODE and CDP_DATA in sync.

Introduce the "io_alloc" resctrl file to the "info" area of a cache resource,
for example /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3/io_alloc. "io_alloc" indicates support for
the "io_alloc" feature that allows direct insertion of data from I/O
devices into the cache.
Restrict exposing support for "io_alloc" to the L3 resource that is the only
resource where this feature can be backed by AMD's L3 Smart Data Cache
Injection Allocation Enforcement (SDCIAE). With that, the "io_alloc" file is
only visible to user space if the L3 resource supports "io_alloc".
Doing so makes the file visible for all cache resources though, for example

Patch series "introduce VM_MAYBE_GUARD and make it sticky", v4.
Currently, guard regions are not visible to users except through
/proc/$pid/pagemap, with no explicit visibility at the VMA level.
This makes the feature less useful, as it isn't entirely apparent which
VMAs may have these entries present, especially when performing actions
which walk through memory regions such as those performed by CRIU.
This series addresses this issue by introducing the VM_MAYBE_GUARD flag
which fulfils this role, updating the smaps logic to display an entry for
these.
The semantics of this flag are that a guard region MAY be present if set
(we cannot be sure, as we can't efficiently track whether an
MADV_GUARD_REMOVE finally removes all the guard regions in a VMA) - but if
not set the VMA definitely does NOT have any guard regions present.
It's problematic to establish this flag without further action, because
that means that VMAs with guard regions in them become non-mergeable with
adjacent VMAs for no especially good reason.
To work around this, this series also introduces the concept of 'sticky'
VMA flags - that is flags which:
a. if set in one VMA and not in another still permit those VMAs to be
merged (if otherwise compatible).
b. When they are merged, the resultant VMA must have the flag set.
The VMA logic is updated to propagate these flags correctly.
Additionally, VM_MAYBE_GUARD being an explicit VMA flag allows us to solve
an issue with file-backed guard regions - previously these established an
anon_vma object for file-backed mappings solely to have vma_needs_copy()
correctly propagate guard region mappings to child processes.
We introduce a new flag alias VM_COPY_ON_FORK (which currently only
specifies VM_MAYBE_GUARD) and update vma_needs_copy() to check explicitly
for this flag and to copy page tables if it is present, which resolves
this issue.
Additionally, we add the ability for allow-listed VMA flags to be
atomically writable with only mmap/VMA read locks held.
The only flag we allow so far is VM_MAYBE_GUARD, which we carefully ensure
does not cause any races by being allowed to do so.
This allows us to maintain guard region installation as a read-locked
operation and not endure the overhead of obtaining a write lock here.
Finally we introduce extensive VMA userland tests to assert that the
sticky VMA logic behaves correctly as well as guard region self tests to
assert that smaps visibility is correctly implemented.
This patch (of 9):
Currently, if a user needs to determine if guard regions are present in a
range, they have to scan all VMAs (or have knowledge of which ones might
have guard regions).
Since commit 8e2f2aeb8b48 ("fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to
pagemap") and the related commit a516403787e0 ("fs/proc: extend the
PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions"), users can use either
/proc/$pid/pagemap or the PAGEMAP_SCAN functionality to perform this
operation at a virtual address level.
This is not ideal, and it gives no visibility at a /proc/$pid/smaps level
that guard regions exist in ranges.
This patch remedies the situation by establishing a new VMA flag,
VM_MAYBE_GUARD, to indicate that a VMA may contain guard regions (it is
uncertain because we cannot reasonably determine whether a
MADV_GUARD_REMOVE call has removed all of the guard regions in a VMA, and
additionally VMAs may change across merge/split).
We utilise 0x800 for this flag which makes it available to 32-bit
architectures also, a flag that was previously used by VM_DENYWRITE, which
was removed in commit 8d0920bde5eb ("mm: remove VM_DENYWRITE") and hasn't
bee reused yet.
We also update the smaps logic and documentation to identify these VMAs.
Another major use of this functionality is that we can use it to identify
that we ought to copy page tables on fork.
We do not actually implement usage of this flag in mm/madvise.c yet as we
need to allow some VMA flags to be applied atomically under mmap/VMA read
lock in order to avoid the need to acquire a write lock for this purpose.

vfs_mkdir() already drops the reference to the dentry on failure but it
leaves the parent locked.
This complicates end_creating() which needs to unlock the parent even
though the dentry is no longer available.
If we change vfs_mkdir() to unlock on failure as well as releasing the
dentry, we can remove the "parent" arg from end_creating() and simplify
the rules for calling it.
Note that cachefiles_get_directory() can choose to substitute an error
instead of actually calling vfs_mkdir(), for fault injection. In that
case it needs to call end_creating(), just as vfs_mkdir() now does on
error.
ovl_create_real() will now unlock on error. So the conditional
end_creating() after the call is removed, and end_creating() is called
internally on error.

Instead of requiring that the caller calls iomap_finish_folio_read()
even if the ->read_folio_range() callback returns an error, account for
this internally in iomap instead, which makes the interface simpler and
makes it match writeback's ->read_folio_range() error handling
expectations.

Add caller-provided callbacks for read and readahead so that it can be
used generically, especially by filesystems that are not block-based.
In particular, this:
* Modifies the read and readahead interface to take in a
struct iomap_read_folio_ctx that is publicly defined as:
struct iomap_read_folio_ctx {
const struct iomap_read_ops *ops;
struct folio *cur_folio;
struct readahead_control *rac;
void *read_ctx;
};
where struct iomap_read_ops is defined as:
struct iomap_read_ops {
int (*read_folio_range)(const struct iomap_iter *iter,
struct iomap_read_folio_ctx *ctx,
size_t len);
void (*read_submit)(struct iomap_read_folio_ctx *ctx);
};
read_folio_range() reads in the folio range and is required by the
caller to provide. read_submit() is optional and is used for
submitting any pending read requests.
* Modifies existing filesystems that use iomap for read and readahead to
use the new API, through the new statically inlined helpers
iomap_bio_read_folio() and iomap_bio_readahead(). There is no change
in functionality for those filesystems.

Some of the details about how directory hash trees work were confusing or
outright wrong, this patch should fix those.
A note on dx_tail's dt_reserved member, as far as I can tell the kernel
never sets this explicitly, so its content is apparently left-overs from
what was there before (for the dx_root I've seen remnants of a
ext4_dir_entry_tail struct from when the dir was not yet a hash dir).

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs
Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"This focuses on two primary updates for Android devices.
First, it sets hash-based file name lookup as the default method to
improve performance, while retaining an option to fall back to a
linear lookup.
Second, it resolves a persistent issue with the 'checkpoint=enable'
feature.
The update further boosts performance by prefetching node blocks,
merging FUA writes more efficiently, and optimizing block allocation
policies.
The release is rounded out by a comprehensive set of bug fixes that
address memory safety, data integrity, and potential system hangs,
along with minor documentation and code clean-ups.
Enhancements:
- add mount option and sysfs entry to tune the lookup mode
- dump more information and add a timeout when enabling/disabling
checkpoints
- readahead node blocks in F2FS_GET_BLOCK_PRECACHE mode
- merge FUA command with the existing writes
- allocate HOT_DATA for IPU writes
- Use allocate_section_policy to control write priority in
multi-devices setups
- add reserved nodes for privileged users
- Add bggc_io_aware to adjust the priority of BG_GC when issuing IO
- show the list of donation files
Bug fixes:
- add missing dput() when printing the donation list
- fix UAF issue in f2fs_merge_page_bio()
- add sanity check on ei.len in __update_extent_tree_range()
- fix infinite loop in __insert_extent_tree()
- fix zero-sized extent for precache extents
- fix to mitigate overhead of f2fs_zero_post_eof_page()
- fix to avoid migrating empty section
- fix to truncate first page in error path of f2fs_truncate()
- fix to update map->m_next_extent correctly in f2fs_map_blocks()
- fix wrong layout information on 16KB page
- fix to do sanity check on node footer for non inode dnode
- fix to avoid NULL pointer dereference in
f2fs_check_quota_consistency()
- fix to detect potential corrupted nid in free_nid_list
- fix to clear unusable_cap for checkpoint=enable
- fix to zero data after EOF for compressed file correctly
- fix to avoid overflow while left shift operation

- Add support for a lockless bitmap.
A key feature for the new bitmap are that the IO fastpath is
lockless. If a user issues lots of write IO to the same bitmap
bit in a short time, only the first write has additional overhead
to update bitmap bit, no additional overhead for the following
writes.
By supporting only resync or recover written data, means in the
case creating new array or replacing with a new disk, there is no
need to do a full disk resync/recovery.
- Switch ->getgeo() and ->bios_param() to using struct gendisk rather
than struct block_device.
- Rust block changes via Andreas. This series adds configuration via
configfs and remote completion to the rnull driver. The series also

cleanup patches, and a few features supporting the rnull changes.
The series removes the raw buffer formatting logic from
`kernel::block` and improves the logic available in `kernel::string`
to support the same use as the removed logic.

Userspace generally expects APIs that return -EMSGSIZE to allow for
them to adjust their buffer size and retry the operation.
However, the fscontext log would previously clear the message even
in the -EMSGSIZE case.

kern_path_locked() is now only used to prepare for removing an object
from the filesystem (and that is the only credible reason for wanting a
positive locked dentry). Thus it corresponds to kern_path_create() and
so should have a corresponding name.
Unfortunately the name "kern_path_create" is somewhat misleading as it
doesn't actually create anything. The recently added
simple_start_creating() provides a better pattern I believe. The
"start" can be matched with "end" to bracket the creating or removing.
So this patch changes names:
kern_path_locked -> start_removing_path
kern_path_create -> start_creating_path
user_path_create -> start_creating_user_path
user_path_locked_at -> start_removing_user_path_at
done_path_create -> end_creating_path
and also introduces end_removing_path() which is identical to
end_creating_path().
__start_removing_path (which was __kern_path_locked) is enhanced to
call mnt_want_write() for consistency with the start_creating_path().

While rare, memory allocation profiling can contain inaccurate counters if
slab object extension vector allocation fails. That allocation might
succeed later but prior to that, slab allocations that would have used
that object extension vector will not be accounted for. To indicate
incorrect counters, "accurate:no" marker is appended to the call site line
in the /proc/allocinfo output. Bump up /proc/allocinfo version to reflect
the change in the file format and update documentation.

Resctrl subsystem can support two monitoring modes, "mbm_event" or "default".
In mbm_event mode, monitoring event can only accumulate data while it is
backed by a hardware counter. In "default" mode, resctrl assumes there is
a hardware counter for each event within every CTRL_MON and MON group.
Introduce mbm_assign_mode resctrl file to switch between mbm_event and default
modes.
Example:
To list the MBM monitor modes supported:
$ cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode
[mbm_event]
default
To enable the "mbm_event" counter assignment mode:
$ echo "mbm_event" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode
To enable the "default" monitoring mode:
$ echo "default" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode
Reset MBM event counters automatically as part of changing the mode. Clear
both architectural and non-architectural event states to prevent overflow
conditions during the next event read. Clear assignable counter configuration
on all the domains. Also, enable auto assignment when switching to "mbm_event"
mode.

The "mbm_event" counter assignment mode allows the user to assign a hardware
counter to an RMID, event pair and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is
assigned. The user can specify the memory transaction(s) for the counter to
track.
When this mode is supported, the /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/event_configs
directory contains a sub-directory for each MBM event that can be assigned to
a counter. The MBM event sub-directory contains a file named "event_filter"
that is used to view and modify which memory transactions the MBM event is
configured with.
Create /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/event_configs directory on resctrl mount
and pre-populate it with directories for the two existing MBM events:
mbm_total_bytes and mbm_local_bytes. Create the "event_filter" file within
each MBM event directory with the needed *show() that displays the memory
transactions with which the MBM event is configured.
Example:
$ mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl
$ cd /sys/fs/resctrl/

When "mbm_event" counter assignment mode is enabled, the architecture requires
a counter ID to read the event data.
Introduce an is_mbm_cntr field in struct rmid_read to indicate whether counter
assignment mode is in use.
Update the logic to call resctrl_arch_cntr_read() and resctrl_arch_reset_cntr()
when the assignment mode is active. Report 'Unassigned' in case the user attempts
to read an event without assigning a hardware counter.

Introduce the resctrl file "mbm_assign_mode" to list the supported counter
assignment modes.
The "mbm_event" counter assignment mode allows users to assign a hardware
counter to an RMID, event pair and monitor bandwidth usage as long as it is
assigned. The hardware continues to track the assigned counter until it is
explicitly unassigned by the user. Each event within a resctrl group can be
assigned independently in this mode.
On AMD systems "mbm_event" mode is backed by the ABMC (Assignable Bandwidth
Monitoring Counters) hardware feature and is enabled by default.
The "default" mode is the existing mode that works without the explicit
counter assignment, instead relying on dynamic counter assignment by hardware
that may result in hardware not dedicating a counter resulting in monitoring
data reads returning "Unavailable".
Provide an interface to display the monitor modes on the system.
$ cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode
[mbm_event]
default
Add IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED) check to support Arm64.
On x86, CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED is not defined. On Arm64, it will be
defined when the "mbm_event" mode is supported.
Add IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED) check early to ensure the user
interface remains compatible with upcoming Arm64 support. IS_ENABLED() safely
evaluates to 0 when the configuration is not defined.
As a result, for MPAM, the display would be either:
[default]
or
[mbm_event]

Patch series "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide THPs when
advised", v5.
This will allow individual processes to opt-out of THP = "always" into THP
= "madvise", without affecting other workloads on the system. This has
been extensively discussed on the mailing list and has been summarized
very well by David in the first patch which also includes the links to
alternatives, please refer to the first patch commit message for the
motivation for this series.
Patch 1 adds the PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED flag to implement this,
along with the MMF changes.
Patch 2 is a cleanup patch for tva_flags that will allow the forced
collapse case to be transmitted to vma_thp_disabled (which is done in
patch 3).
Patch 4 adds documentation for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE/PR_GET_THP_DISABLE.
Patches 6-7 implement the selftests for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE for completely
disabling THPs (old behaviour) and only enabling it at advise
(PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED).
This patch (of 7):
People want to make use of more THPs, for example, moving from the "never"
system policy to "madvise", or from "madvise" to "always".
While this is great news for every THP desperately waiting to get
allocated out there, apparently there are some workloads that require a
bit of care during that transition: individual processes may need to
opt-out from this behavior for various reasons, and this should be
permitted without needing to make all other workloads on the system
similarly opt-out.
The following scenarios are imaginable:
(1) Switch from "none" system policy to "madvise"/"always", but keep THPs
disabled for selected workloads.
(2) Stay at "none" system policy, but enable THPs for selected
workloads, making only these workloads use the "madvise" or "always"
policy.
(3) Switch from "madvise" system policy to "always", but keep the
"madvise" policy for selected workloads: allocate THPs only when
advised.
(4) Stay at "madvise" system policy, but enable THPs even when not advised
for selected workloads -- "always" policy.
Once can emulate (2) through (1), by setting the system policy to
"madvise"/"always" while disabling THPs for all processes that don't want
THPs. It requires configuring all workloads, but that is a user-space
problem to sort out.
(4) can be emulated through (3) in a similar way.
Back when (1) was relevant in the past, as people started enabling THPs,
we added PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, so relevant workloads that were not ready yet
(i.e., used by Redis) were able to just disable THPs completely. Redis
still implements the option to use this interface to disable THPs
completely.
With PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, we added a way to force-disable THPs for a
workload -- a process, including fork+exec'ed process hierarchy. That
essentially made us support (1): simply disable THPs for all workloads
that are not ready for THPs yet, while still enabling THPs system-wide.
The quest for handling (3) and (4) started, but current approaches
(completely new prctl, options to set other policies per process,
alternatives to prctl -- mctrl, cgroup handling) don't look particularly
promising. Likely, the future will use bpf or something similar to
implement better policies, in particular to also make better decisions
about THP sizes to use, but this will certainly take a while as that work
just started.
Long story short: a simple enable/disable is not really suitable for the
future, so we're not willing to add completely new toggles.
While we could emulate (3)+(4) through (1)+(2) by simply disabling THPs
completely for these processes, this is a step backwards, because these
processes can no longer allocate THPs in regions where THPs were
explicitly advised: regions flagged as VM_HUGEPAGE. Apparently, that
imposes a problem for relevant workloads, because "not THPs" is certainly
worse than "THPs only when advised".
Could we simply relax PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, to "disable THPs unless not
explicitly advised by the app through MAD_HUGEPAGE"? *maybe*, but this
would change the documented semantics quite a bit, and the versatility to
use it for debugging purposes, so I am not 100% sure that is what we want
-- although it would certainly be much easier.
So instead, as an easy way forward for (3) and (4), add an option to
make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE disable *less* THPs for a process.
In essence, this patch:
(A) Adds PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED, to be used as a flag in arg3
of prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) when disabling THPs (arg2 != 0).
prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, 1, PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED).
(B) Makes prctl(PR_GET_THP_DISABLE) return 3 if
PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED was set while disabling.
Previously, it would return 1 if THPs were disabled completely. Now
it returns the set flags as well: 3 if PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED
was set.
(C) Renames MMF_DISABLE_THP to MMF_DISABLE_THP_COMPLETELY, to express
the semantics clearly.
Fortunately, there are only two instances outside of prctl() code.
(D) Adds MMF_DISABLE_THP_EXCEPT_ADVISED to express "no THP except for VMAs
with VM_HUGEPAGE" -- essentially "thp=madvise" behavior
Fortunately, we only have to extend vma_thp_disabled().
(E) Indicates "THP_enabled: 0" in /proc/pid/status only if THPs are
disabled completely
Only indicating that THPs are disabled when they are really disabled
completely, not only partially.
For now, we don't add another interface to obtained whether THPs
are disabled partially (PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED was set). If
ever required, we could add a new entry.
The documented semantics in the man page for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE "is
inherited by a child created via fork(2) and is preserved across
execve(2)" is maintained. This behavior, for example, allows for
disabling THPs for a workload through the launching process (e.g., systemd
where we fork() a helper process to then exec()).
For now, MADV_COLLAPSE will *fail* in regions without VM_HUGEPAGE and
VM_NOHUGEPAGE. As MADV_COLLAPSE is a clear advise that user space thinks
a THP is a good idea, we'll enable that separately next (requiring a bit
of cleanup first).
There is currently not way to prevent that a process will not issue
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE itself to re-enable THP. There are not really known
users for re-enabling it, and it's against the purpose of the original
interface. So if ever required, we could investigate just forbidding to
re-enable them, or make this somehow configurable.

Since the introduction of pid namespaces, their interaction with procfs
has been entirely implicit in ways that require a lot of dancing around
by programs that need to construct sandboxes with different PID
namespaces.
Being able to explicitly specify the pid namespace to use when
constructing a procfs super block will allow programs to no longer need
to fork off a process which does then does unshare(2) / setns(2) and
forks again in order to construct a procfs in a pidns.
So, provide a "pidns" mount option which allows such users to just
explicitly state which pid namespace they want that procfs instance to
use. This interface can be used with fsconfig(2) either with a file
descriptor or a path:
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);
or with classic mount(2) / mount(8):
// mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");
As this new API is effectively shorthand for setns(2) followed by
mount(2), the permission model for this mirrors pidns_install() to avoid
opening up new attack surfaces by loosening the existing permission
model.
In order to avoid having to RCU-protect all users of proc_pid_ns() (to
avoid UAFs), attempting to reconfigure an existing procfs instance's pid
namespace will error out with -EBUSY. Creating new procfs instances is
quite cheap, so this should not be an impediment to most users, and lets
us avoid a lot of churn in fs/proc/* for a feature that it seems
unlikely userspace would use.

Instances are happier that way and it makes more sense anyway -
the only part of the result that is related to partition we are given
is the start sector, and that has been filled in by the caller.
Everything else is a function of the disk. Only one instance
(DASD) is ever looking at anything other than bdev->bd_disk and
that one is trivial to adjust.

The advantages of converting existing sysfs show() methods to sysfs_emit()
and sysfs_emit_at() do not outweigh the risk of introducing bugs. Hence
recommend sysfs_emit() and sysfs_emit_at() only for new implementations of
show() methods.

For casefolded directories, f2fs may fall back to a linear search if
a hash-based lookup fails. This can cause severe performance
regressions.
While this behavior can be controlled by userspace tools (e.g. mkfs,
fsck) by setting an on-disk flag, a kernel-level solution is needed
to guarantee the lookup behavior regardless of the on-disk state.
This commit introduces the 'lookup_mode' mount option to provide this
kernel-side control.
The option accepts three values:
- perf: (Default) Enforces a hash-only lookup. The linear fallback
is always disabled.
- compat: Enables the linear search fallback for compatibility with
directory entries from older kernels.
- auto: Determines the mode based on the on-disk flag, preserving the
userspace-based behavior.

- Refactor the iomap writeback code and split the generic and ioend/bio

There are two methods that define the split between the generic
writeback code, and the implemementation of it, and all knowledge of
ioends and bios now sits below that layer.
- Add fuse iomap support for buffered writes and dirty folio writeback.
This is needed so that granular uptodate and dirty tracking can be
used in fuse when large folios are enabled. This has two big
advantages. For writes, instead of the entire folio needing to be
read into the page cache, only the relevant portions need to be. For
writeback, only the dirty portions need to be written back instead of
the entire folio.

Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls
after lengthy discussions.
Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to
the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have
started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that
makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related
operations.
These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on
special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects.
XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new
inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent
directory.
The project is created from userspace by opening and calling
FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special
files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left
with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota
accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but
in the case when special files are created in the directory with
already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended
attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without
attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a
possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn,
prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing
files.
In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of
additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the
legacy ioctls anymore"

Pull mmap_prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we introduce f_op->mmap_prepare() in c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm:
introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback").
This is preferred to the existing f_op->mmap() hook as it does require
a VMA to be established yet, thus allowing the mmap logic to invoke
this hook far, far earlier, prior to inserting a VMA into the virtual
address space, or performing any other heavy handed operations.
This allows for much simpler unwinding on error, and for there to be a
single attempt at merging a VMA rather than having to possibly
reattempt a merge based on potentially altered VMA state.
Far more importantly, it prevents inappropriate manipulation of
incompletely initialised VMA state, which is something that has been
the cause of bugs and complexity in the past.
The intent is to gradually deprecate f_op->mmap, and in that vein this
series coverts the majority of file systems to using f_op->mmap_prepare.
Prerequisite steps are taken - firstly ensuring all checks for mmap
capabilities use the file_has_valid_mmap_hooks() helper rather than
directly checking for f_op->mmap (which is now not a valid check) and
secondly updating daxdev_mapping_supported() to not require a VMA
parameter to allow ext4 and xfs to be converted.
Commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for
nested file systems") handles the nasty edge-case of nested file
systems like overlayfs, which introduces a compatibility shim to allow
f_op->mmap_prepare() to be invoked from an f_op->mmap() callback.
This allows for nested filesystems to continue to function correctly
with all file systems regardless of which callback is used. Once we
finally convert all file systems, this shim can be removed.
As a result, ecryptfs, fuse, and overlayfs remain unaltered so they
can nest all other file systems.
We additionally do not update resctl - as this requires an update to
remap_pfn_range() (or an alternative to it) which we defer to a later
series, equally we do not update cramfs which needs a mixed mapping
insertion with the same issue, nor do we update procfs, hugetlbfs,
syfs or kernfs all of which require VMAs for internal state and hooks.
We shall return to all of these later"

Pull misc VFS updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Add ext4 IOCB_DONTCACHE support
This refactors the address_space_operations write_begin() and
write_end() callbacks to take const struct kiocb * as their first
argument, allowing IOCB flags such as IOCB_DONTCACHE to propagate
to the filesystem's buffered I/O path.
Ext4 is updated to implement handling of the IOCB_DONTCACHE flag
and advertises support via the FOP_DONTCACHE file operation flag.
Additionally, the i915 driver's shmem write paths are updated to
bypass the legacy write_begin/write_end interface in favor of
directly calling write_iter() with a constructed synchronous kiocb.
Another i915 change replaces a manual write loop with
kernel_write() during GEM shmem object creation.
Cleanups:
- don't duplicate vfs_open() in kernel_file_open()
- proc_fd_getattr(): don't bother with S_ISDIR() check
- fs/ecryptfs: replace snprintf with sysfs_emit in show function
- vfs: Remove unnecessary list_for_each_entry_safe() from

Pull vfs mount updates from Al Viro:
- mount hash conflicts rudiments are gone now - we do not allow
multiple mounts with the same parent/mountpoint to be hashed at the
same time.
- 'struct mount' changes:
- mnt_umounting is gone
- mnt_slave_list/mnt_slave is an hlist now
- overmounts are kept track of by explicit pointer in mount
- a bunch of flags moved out of mnt_flags to a new field, with
only namespace_sem for protection
- mnt_expiry is protected by mount_lock now (instead of
namespace_sem)
- MNT_LOCKED is used only for mounts that need to remain attached
to their parents to prevent mountpoint exposure - no more
overloading it for absolute roots
- all mnt_list uses are transient now - it's used only to
represent temporary sets during umount_tree()
- mount refcounting change: children no longer pin parents for any
mounts, whether they'd passed through umount_tree() or not
- 'struct mountpoint' changes:
- refcount is no more; what matters is ->m_list emptiness
- instead of temporary bumping the refcount, we insert a new
object (pinned_mountpoint) into ->m_list
- new calling conventions for lock_mount() and friends
- do_move_mount()/attach_recursive_mnt() seriously cleaned up
- globals in fs/pnode.c are gone
- propagate_mnt(), change_mnt_propagation() and propagate_umount()
cleaned up (in the last case - pretty much completely rewritten).
- freeing of emptied mnt_namespace is done in namespace_unlock(). For
one thing, there are subtle ordering requirements there; for another
it simplifies cleanups.
- assorted cleanups
- restore the machinery for long-term mounts from accumulated bitrot.

Pull dentry d_flags updates from Al Viro:
"The current exclusion rules for dentry->d_flags stores are rather
unpleasant. The basic rules are simple:
- stores to dentry->d_flags are OK under dentry->d_lock
- stores to dentry->d_flags are OK in the dentry constructor, before
becomes potentially visible to other threads
Unfortunately, there's a couple of exceptions to that, and that's
where the headache comes from.
The main PITA comes from d_set_d_op(); that primitive sets ->d_op of
dentry and adjusts the flags that correspond to presence of individual
methods. It's very easy to misuse; existing uses _are_ safe, but proof
of correctness is brittle.
Use in __d_alloc() is safe (we are within a constructor), but we might
as well precalculate the initial value of 'd_flags' when we set the
default ->d_op for given superblock and set 'd_flags' directly instead
of messing with that helper.
The reasons why other uses are safe are bloody convoluted; I'm not
going to reproduce it here. See [1] for gory details, if you care. The
critical part is using d_set_d_op() only just prior to
d_splice_alias(), which makes a combination of d_splice_alias() with
setting ->d_op, etc a natural replacement primitive.
Better yet, if we go that way, it's easy to take setting ->d_op and
modifying 'd_flags' under ->d_lock, which eliminates the headache as
far as 'd_flags' exclusion rules are concerned. Other exceptions are
minor and easy to deal with.
What this series does:
- d_set_d_op() is no longer available; instead a new primitive
(d_splice_alias_ops()) is provided, equivalent to combination of
d_set_d_op() and d_splice_alias().
- new field of struct super_block - 's_d_flags'. This sets the
default value of 'd_flags' to be used when allocating dentries on
this filesystem.
- new primitive for setting 's_d_op': set_default_d_op(). This
replaces stores to 's_d_op' at mount time.
All in-tree filesystems converted; out-of-tree ones will get caught
by the compiler ('s_d_op' is renamed, so stores to it will be
caught). 's_d_flags' is set by the same primitive to match the
's_d_op'.
- a lot of filesystems had sb->s_d_op->d_delete equal to
always_delete_dentry; that is equivalent to setting
DCACHE_DONTCACHE in 'd_flags', so such filesystems can bloody well
set that bit in 's_d_flags' and drop 'd_delete()' from
dentry_operations.
In quite a few cases that results in empty dentry_operations, which
means that we can get rid of those.
- kill simple_dentry_operations - not needed anymore
- massage d_alloc_parallel() to get rid of the other exception wrt
'd_flags' stores - we can set DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP as soon as we
allocate the new dentry; no need to delay that until we commit to
using the sucker.
As the result, 'd_flags' stores are all either under ->d_lock or done
before the dentry becomes visible in any shared data structures"

fsverity supports two hash algorithms: SHA-256 and SHA-512. Since both
of these have a library API now, just use the library API instead of
crypto_shash. Even with multiple algorithms, the library-based code
still ends up being quite a bit simpler, due to how clumsy the
old-school crypto API is. The library-based code is also more
efficient, since it avoids overheads such as indirect calls.

Replace ->map_blocks with a new ->writeback_range, which differs in the
following ways:
- it must also queue up the I/O for writeback, that is called into the
slightly refactored and extended in scope iomap_add_to_ioend for
each region
- can handle only a part of the requested region, that is the retry
loop for partial mappings moves to the caller
- handles cleanup on failures as well, and thus also replaces the
discard_folio method only implemented by XFS.
This will allow to use the iomap writeback code also for file systems
that are not block based like fuse.

Make fscrypt no longer use Crypto API drivers for non-inline crypto
engines, even when the Crypto API prioritizes them over CPU-based code
(which unfortunately it often does). These drivers tend to be really
problematic, especially for fscrypt's workload. This commit has no
effect on inline crypto engines, which are different and do work well.
Specifically, exclude drivers that have CRYPTO_ALG_KERN_DRIVER_ONLY or
CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY set. (Later, CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC should be
excluded too. That's omitted for now to keep this commit backportable,
since until recently some CPU-based code had CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC set.)
There are two major issues with these drivers: bugs and performance.
First, these drivers tend to be buggy. They're fundamentally much more
error-prone and harder to test than the CPU-based code. They often
don't get tested before kernel releases, and even if they do, the crypto
self-tests don't properly test these drivers. Released drivers have
en/decrypted or hashed data incorrectly. These bugs cause issues for
fscrypt users who often didn't even want to use these drivers, e.g.:
- https://github.com/google/fscryptctl/issues/32
- https://github.com/google/fscryptctl/issues/9
- https://lore.kernel.org/r/PH0PR02MB731916ECDB6C613665863B6CFFAA2@PH0PR02MB7319.namprd02.prod.outlook.com
These drivers have also similarly caused issues for dm-crypt users,
including data corruption and deadlocks. Since Linux v5.10, dm-crypt
has disabled most of them by excluding CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY.
Second, these drivers tend to be *much* slower than the CPU-based code.
This may seem counterintuitive, but benchmarks clearly show it. There's
a *lot* of overhead associated with going to a hardware driver, off the
CPU, and back again. To prove this, I gathered as many systems with
this type of crypto engine as I could, and I measured synchronous
encryption of 4096-byte messages (which matches fscrypt's workload):
Intel Emerald Rapids server:
AES-256-XTS:
xts-aes-vaes-avx512 16171 MB/s [CPU-based, Vector AES]
qat_aes_xts 289 MB/s [Offload, Intel QuickAssist]
Qualcomm SM8650 HDK:
AES-256-XTS:
xts-aes-ce 4301 MB/s [CPU-based, ARMv8 Crypto Extensions]
xts-aes-qce 73 MB/s [Offload, Qualcomm Crypto Engine]
i.MX 8M Nano LPDDR4 EVK:
AES-256-XTS:
xts-aes-ce 647 MB/s [CPU-based, ARMv8 Crypto Extensions]
xts(ecb-aes-caam) 20 MB/s [Offload, CAAM]
AES-128-CBC-ESSIV:
essiv(cbc-aes-caam,sha256-lib) 23 MB/s [Offload, CAAM]
STM32MP157F-DK2:
AES-256-XTS:
xts-aes-neonbs 13.2 MB/s [CPU-based, ARM NEON]
xts(stm32-ecb-aes) 3.1 MB/s [Offload, STM32 crypto engine]
AES-128-CBC-ESSIV:
essiv(cbc-aes-neonbs,sha256-lib)
14.7 MB/s [CPU-based, ARM NEON]
essiv(stm32-cbc-aes,sha256-lib)
3.2 MB/s [Offload, STM32 crypto engine]
Adiantum:
adiantum(xchacha12-arm,aes-arm,nhpoly1305-neon)
52.8 MB/s [CPU-based, ARM scalar + NEON]
So, there was no case in which the crypto engine was even *close* to
being faster. On the first three, which have AES instructions in the
CPU, the CPU was 30 to 55 times faster (!). Even on STM32MP157F-DK2
which has a Cortex-A7 CPU that doesn't have AES instructions, AES was
over 4 times faster on the CPU. And Adiantum encryption, which is what
actually should be used on CPUs like that, was over 17 times faster.
Other justifications that have been given for these non-inline crypto
engines (almost always coming from the hardware vendors, not actual
users) don't seem very plausible either:
- The crypto engine throughput could be improved by processing
multiple requests concurrently. Currently irrelevant to fscrypt,
since it doesn't do that. This would also be complex, and unhelpful
in many cases. 2 of the 4 engines I tested even had only one queue.
- Some of the engines, e.g. STM32, support hardware keys. Also
currently irrelevant to fscrypt, since it doesn't support these.
Interestingly, the STM32 driver itself doesn't support this either.
- Free up CPU for other tasks and/or reduce energy usage. Not very
plausible considering the "short" message length, driver overhead,
and scheduling overhead. There's just very little time for the CPU
to do something else like run another task or enter low-power state,
before the message finishes and it's time to process the next one.
- Some of these engines resist power analysis and electromagnetic
attacks, while the CPU-based crypto generally does not. In theory,
this sounds great. In practice, if this benefit requires the use of
an off-CPU offload that massively regresses performance and has a
low-quality, buggy driver, the price for this hardening (which is
not relevant to most fscrypt users, and tends to be incomplete) is
just too high. Inline crypto engines are much more promising here,
as are on-CPU solutions like RISC-V High Assurance Cryptography.

Several flags are updated and checked only under namespace_sem; we are
already making use of that when we are checking them without mount_lock,
but we have to hold mount_lock for all updates, which makes things
clumsier than they have to be.
Take MNT_SHARED, MNT_UNBINDABLE, MNT_MARKED and MNT_UMOUNT_CANDIDATE
into a separate field (->mnt_t_flags), renaming them to T_SHARED,
etc. to avoid confusion. All accesses must be under namespace_sem.
That changes locking requirements for mnt_change_propagation() and
set_mnt_shared() - only namespace_sem is needed now. The same goes
for SET_MNT_MARKED et.al.
There might be more flags moved from ->mnt_flags to that field;
this is just the initial set.

The variant currently in the tree has problems; trying to prove
correctness has caught at least one class of bugs (reparenting
that ends up moving the visible location of reparented mount, due
to not excluding some of the counterparts on propagation that
should've been included).
I tried to prove that it's the only bug there; I'm still not sure
whether it is. If anyone can reconstruct and write down an analysis
of the mainline implementation, I'll gladly review it; as it is,
I ended up doing a different implementation. Candidate collection
phase is similar, but trimming the set down until it satisfies the
constraints turned out pretty different.
I hoped to do transformation as a massage series, but that turns out
to be too convoluted. So it's a single patch replacing propagate_umount()
and friends in one go, with notes and analysis in D/f/propagate_umount.txt
(in addition to inline comments).
As far I can tell, it is provably correct and provably linear by the number
of mounts we need to look at in order to decide what should be unmounted.
It even builds and seems to survive testing...
Another nice thing that fell out of that is that ->mnt_umounting is no longer
needed.
Compared to the first version:
* explicit MNT_UMOUNT_CANDIDATE flag for is_candidate()
* trim_ancestors() only clears that flag, leaving the suckers on list
* trim_one() and handle_locked() take the stuff with flag cleared off
the list. That allows to iterate with list_for_each_entry_safe() when calling
trim_one() - it removes at most one element from the list now.
* no globals - I didn't bother with any kind of context, not worth it.
* Notes updated accordingly; I have not touch the terms yet.

collect_mounts() has several problems - one can't iterate over the results
directly, so it has to be done with callback passed to iterate_mounts();
it has an oopsable race with d_invalidate(); it creates temporary clones
of mounts invisibly for sync umount (IOW, you can have non-lazy umount
succeed leaving filesystem not mounted anywhere and yet still busy).
A saner approach is to give caller an array of struct path that would pin
every mount in a subtree, without cloning any mounts.
* collect_mounts()/drop_collected_mounts()/iterate_mounts() is gone
* collect_paths(where, preallocated, size) gives either ERR_PTR(-E...) or
a pointer to array of struct path, one for each chunk of tree visible under
'where' (i.e. the first element is a copy of where, followed by (mount,root)
for everything mounted under it - the same set collect_mounts() would give).
Unlike collect_mounts(), the mounts are *not* cloned - we just get pinning
references to the roots of subtrees in the caller's namespace.
Array is terminated by {NULL, NULL} struct path. If it fits into
preallocated array (on-stack, normally), that's where it goes; otherwise
it's allocated by kmalloc_array(). Passing 0 as size means that 'preallocated'
is ignored (and expected to be NULL).
* drop_collected_paths(paths, preallocated) is given the array returned
by an earlier call of collect_paths() and the preallocated array passed to that
call. All mount/dentry references are dropped and array is kfree'd if it's not
equal to 'preallocated'.
* instead of iterate_mounts(), users should just iterate over array
of struct path - nothing exotic is needed for that. Existing users (all in
audit_tree.c) are converted.

"A moderately busy cycle for documentation this time around:

predates the Git era) with a Python reimplementation. That, too, is
a horrifying collection of regexes, but in a much cleaner and more
maintainable structure that integrates far better with the Sphinx
build system.
This change has been in linux-next for the full 6.15 cycle; the
small number of problems that turned up have been addressed,
seemingly to everybody's satisfaction. The Perl kernel-doc script
remains in tree (as scripts/kernel-doc.pl) and can be used with a
command-line option if need be. Unless some reason to keep it
around materializes, it will probably go away in 6.17.

Pull fscrypt update from Eric Biggers:
"Add support for 'hardware-wrapped inline encryption keys' to fscrypt.
When enabled on supported platforms, this feature protects file
contents keys from certain attacks, such as cold boot attacks.
This feature uses the block layer support for wrapped keys which was
merged in 6.15. Wrapped key support has existed out-of-tree in Android
for a long time, and it's finally ready for upstream now that there is
a platform on which it works end-to-end with upstream.
Specifically, it works on the Qualcomm SM8650 HDK, using the Qualcomm
ICE (Inline Crypto Engine) and HWKM (Hardware Key Manager). The
corresponding driver support is included in the SCSI tree for 6.16.
Validation for this feature includes two new tests that were already
merged into xfstests (generic/368 and generic/369)"

Pull bcachefs updates from Kent Overstreet:
- Poisoned extents can now be moved: this lets us handle bitrotted data
without deleting it. For now, reading from poisoned extents only
returns -EIO: in the future we'll have an API for specifying "read
this data even if there were bitflips".
- Incompatible features may now be enabled at runtime, via
"opts/version_upgrade" in sysfs. Toggle it to incompatible, and then
toggle it back - option changes via the sysfs interface are
persistent.
- Various changes to support deployable disk images:
- RO mounts now use less memory
- Images may be stripped of alloc info, particularly useful for
slimming them down if they will primarily be mounted RO. Alloc
info will be automatically regenerated on first RW mount, and
this is quite fast
- Filesystem images generated with 'bcachefs image' will be
automatically resized the first time they're mounted on a larger
device
The images 'bcachefs image' generates with compression enabled have
been comparable in size to those generated by squashfs and erofs -
but you get a full RW capable filesystem
- Major error message improvements for btree node reads, data reads,
and elsewhere. We now build up a single error message that lists all
the errors encountered, actions taken to repair, and success/failure
of the IO. This extends to other error paths that may kick off other
actions, e.g. scheduling recovery passes: actions we took because of
an error are included in that error message, with
grouping/indentation so we can see what caused what.
- New option, 'rebalance_on_ac_only'. Does exactly what the name
suggests, quite handy with background compression.
- Repair/self healing:
- We can now kick off recovery passes and run them in the
background if we detect errors. Currently, this is just used by
code that walks backpointers. We now also check for missing
backpointers at runtime and run check_extents_to_backpointers if
required. The messy 6.14 upgrade left missing backpointers for
some users, and this will correct that automatically instead of
requiring a manual fsck - some users noticed this as copygc
spinning and not making progress.
In the future, as more recovery passes come online, we'll be able
to repair and recover from nearly anything - except for
unreadable btree nodes, and that's why you're using replication,
of course - without shutting down the filesystem.
- There's a new recovery pass, for checking the rebalance_work
btree, which tracks extents that rebalance will process later.
- Hardening:
- Close the last known hole in btree iterator/btree locking
assertions: path->should_be_locked paths must stay locked until
the end of the transaction. This shook out a few bugs, including
a performance issue that was causing unnecessary path_upgrade
transaction restarts.
- Performance:
- Faster snapshot deletion: this is an incompatible feature, as it
requires new sentinal values, for safety. Snapshot deletion no
longer has to do a full metadata scan, it now just scans the
inodes btree: if an extent/dirent/xattr is present for a given
snapshot ID, we already require that an inode be present with
that same snapshot ID.
If/when users hit scalability limits again (ridiculously huge
filesystems with lots of inodes, and many sparse snapshots), let
me know - the next step will be to add an index from snapshot ID
-> inode number, which won't be too hard.
- Faster device removal: the "scan for pointers to this device" no
longer does a full metadata scan, instead it walks backpointers.
Like fast snapshot deletion this is another incompat feature: it
also requires a new sentinal value, because we don't want to
reuse these device IDs until after a fsck.
- We're now coalescing redundant accounting updates prior to
transaction commit, taking some pressure off the journal. Shortly
we'll also be doing multiple extent updates in a transaction in
the main write path, which combined with the previous should
drastically cut down on the amount of metadata updates we have to
journal.
- Stack usage improvements: All allocator state has been moved off the
stack
- Debug improvements:
- enumerated refcounts: The debug code previously used for
filesystem write refs is now a small library, and used for other
heavily used refcounts. Different users of a refcount are
enumerated, making it much easier to debug refcount issues.
- Async object debugging: There's a new kconfig option that makes
various async objects (different types of bios, data updates,
write ops, etc.) visible in debugfs, and it should be fast enough
to leave on in production.
- Various sets of assertions no longer require
CONFIG_BCACHEFS_DEBUG, instead they're controlled by module
parameters and static keys, meaning users won't need to compile
custom kernels as often to help debug issues.
- bch2_trans_kmalloc() calls can be tracked (there's a new kconfig
option). With it on you can check the btree_transaction_stats in
debugfs to see the bch2_trans_kmalloc() calls a transaction did
when it used the most memory.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Use folios for symlinks in the page cache
FUSE already uses folios for its symlinks. Mirror that conversion
in the generic code and the NFS code. That lets us get rid of a few
folio->page->folio conversions in this path, and some of the few
remaining users of read_cache_page() / read_mapping_page()
- Try and make a few filesystem operations killable on the VFS
inode->i_mutex level
- Add sysctl vfs_cache_pressure_denom for bulk file operations
Some workloads need to preserve more dentries than we currently
allow through out sysctl interface
A HDFS servers with 12 HDDs per server, on a HDFS datanode startup
involves scanning all files and caching their metadata (including
dentries and inodes) in memory. Each HDD contains approximately 2
million files, resulting in a total of ~20 million cached dentries
after initialization
To minimize dentry reclamation, they set vfs_cache_pressure to 1.
Despite this configuration, memory pressure conditions can still
trigger reclamation of up to 50% of cached dentries, reducing the
cache from 20 million to approximately 10 million entries. During
the subsequent cache rebuild period, any HDFS datanode restart
operation incurs substantial latency penalties until full cache
recovery completes
To maintain service stability, more dentries need to be preserved
during memory reclamation. The current minimum reclaim ratio (1/100
of total dentries) remains too aggressive for such workload. This
patch introduces vfs_cache_pressure_denom for more granular cache
pressure control
The configuration [vfs_cache_pressure=1,
vfs_cache_pressure_denom=10000] effectively maintains the full 20
million dentry cache under memory pressure, preventing datanode
restart performance degradation
- Avoid some jumps in inode_permission() using likely()/unlikely()
- Avid a memory access which is most likely a cache miss when
descending into devcgroup_inode_permission()
- Add fastpath predicts for stat() and fdput()
- Anonymous inodes currently don't come with a proper mode causing
issues in the kernel when we want to add useful VFS debug assert.
Fix that by giving them a proper mode and masking it off when we
report it to userspace which relies on them not having any mode
- Anonymous inodes currently allow to change inode attributes because
the VFS falls back to simple_setattr() if i_op->setattr isn't
implemented. This means the ownership and mode for every single
user of anon_inode_inode can be changed. Block that as it's either
useless or actively harmful. If specific ownership is needed the
respective subsystem should allocate anonymous inodes from their
own private superblock
- Raise SB_I_NODEV and SB_I_NOEXEC on the anonymous inode superblock
- Add proper tests for anonymous inode behavior
- Make it easy to detect proper anonymous inodes and to ensure that
we can detect them in codepaths such as readahead()
Cleanups:
- Port pidfs to the new anon_inode_{g,s}etattr() helpers
- Try to remove the uselib() system call
- Add unlikely branch hint return path for poll
- Add unlikely branch hint on return path for core_sys_select
- Don't allow signals to interrupt getdents copying for fuse
- Provide a size hint to dir_context for during readdir()
- Use writeback_iter directly in mpage_writepages
- Update compression and mtime descriptions in initramfs
documentation
- Update main netfs API document
- Remove useless plus one in super_cache_scan()
- Remove unnecessary NULL-check guards during setns()
- Add separate separate {get,put}_cgroup_ns no-op cases

- Fix typo in root= kernel parameter description
- Use KERN_INFO for infof()|info_plog()|infofc()
- Correct comments of fs_validate_description()

vfs_parse_monolithic_sep()

Pull vfs directory lookup updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains cleanups for the lookup_one*() family of helpers.
We expose a set of functions with names containing "lookup_one_len"
and others without the "_len". This difference has nothing to do with
"len". It's rater a historical accident that can be confusing.
The functions without "_len" take a "mnt_idmap" pointer. This is found
in the "vfsmount" and that is an important question when choosing
which to use: do you have a vfsmount, or are you "inside" the
filesystem. A related question is "is permission checking relevant
here?".
nfsd and cachefiles *do* have a vfsmount but *don't* use the non-_len
functions. They pass nop_mnt_idmap and refuse to work on filesystems
which have any other idmap.
This work changes nfsd and cachefile to use the lookup_one family of
functions and to explictily pass &nop_mnt_idmap which is consistent
with all other vfs interfaces used where &nop_mnt_idmap is explicitly
passed.
The remaining uses of the "_one" functions do not require permission
checks so these are renamed to be "_noperm" and the permission
checking is removed.
This series also changes these lookup function to take a qstr instead
of separate name and len. In many cases this simplifies the call"

When attempting to use an archive file, such as APEX on android,
as a file-backed mount source, it fails because EROFS image within
the archive file does not start at offset 0. As a result, a loop
or a dm device is still needed to attach the image file at an
appropriate offset first. Similarly, if an EROFS image within a
block device does not start at offset 0, it cannot be mounted
directly either.
To address this issue, this patch adds a new mount option `fsoffset=x'
to accept a start offset for the primary device. The offset should be
aligned to the block size. EROFS will add this offset before performing
read requests.

People have been asking to see the plan for this, so -
bcachefs has various background tasks that need to be scheduled to
balance efficiency, predictability of performance, etc.
The design and philosophy hasn't changed too much since bcache, which
was primarily designed for server usage, with sustained load in mind.
These days we're seeing more desktop usage - where we really want to let
the system idle effictively, to reduce total power usage - while also
still balancing previous concerns, we still want to let work accumulate
to a degree.
This lays out all the requirements and starts to sketch out the
algorithm I have in mind.

Currently the calling conventions for ->d_automount() instances have
an odd wart - returned new mount to be attached is expected to have
refcount 2.
That kludge is intended to make sure that mark_mounts_for_expiry() called
before we get around to attaching that new mount to the tree won't decide
to take it out. finish_automount() drops the extra reference after it's
done with attaching mount to the tree - or drops the reference twice in
case of error. ->d_automount() instances have rather counterintuitive
boilerplate in them.
There's a much simpler approach: have mark_mounts_for_expiry() skip the
mounts that are yet to be mounted. And to hell with grabbing/dropping
those extra references. Makes for simpler correctness analysis, at that...

for ramfs-style filesystems"), function debugfs_remove_recursive()
was made into an alias for debugfs_remove():
#define debugfs_remove_recursive debugfs_remove
Therefore, drivers should just use debugfs_remove() going forward.

Allow the special case of a redirect from a lower layer to a data layer
without having to turn on metacopy. This makes the feature work with
userxattr, which in turn allows data layers to be usable in user
namespaces.
Minimize the risk by only enabling redirect from a single lower layer to a
data layer iff a data layer is specified. The only way to access a data
layer is to enable this, so there's really no reason not to enable this.
This can be used safely if the lower layer is read-only and the
user.overlay.redirect xattr cannot be modified.

Let's document the use of these flags in iomap design doc where other
flags are defined too -
- IOMAP_F_BOUNDARY was added by XFS to prevent merging of I/O and I/O
completions across RTG boundaries.
- IOMAP_F_ATOMIC_BIO was added for supporting atomic I/O operations
for filesystems to inform the iomap that it needs HW-offload based
mechanism for torn-write protection.

Add support for hardware-wrapped keys to fscrypt. Such keys are
protected from certain attacks, such as cold boot attacks. For more
information, see the "Hardware-wrapped keys" section of
Documentation/block/inline-encryption.rst.
To support hardware-wrapped keys in fscrypt, we allow the fscrypt master
keys to be hardware-wrapped. File contents encryption is done by
passing the wrapped key to the inline encryption hardware via
blk-crypto. Other fscrypt operations such as filenames encryption
continue to be done by the kernel, using the "software secret" which the
hardware derives. For more information, see the documentation which
this patch adds to Documentation/filesystems/fscrypt.rst.
Note that this feature doesn't require any filesystem-specific changes.
However it does depend on inline encryption support, and thus currently
it is only applicable to ext4 and f2fs.
The version of this feature introduced by this patch is mostly
equivalent to the version that has existed downstream in the Android
Common Kernels since 2020. However, a couple fixes are included.
First, the flags field in struct fscrypt_add_key_arg is now placed in
the proper location. Second, key identifiers for HW-wrapped keys are
now derived using a distinct HKDF context byte; this fixes a bug where a
raw key could have the same identifier as a HW-wrapped key. Note that
as a result of these fixes, the version of this feature introduced by
this patch is not UAPI or on-disk format compatible with the version in
the Android Common Kernels, though the divergence is limited to just
those specific fixes. This version should be used going forwards.
This patch has been heavily rewritten from the original version by
Gaurav Kashyap <quic_gaurkash@quicinc.com> and
Barani Muthukumaran <bmuthuku@codeaurora.org>.

try_lookup_noperm() and d_hash_and_lookup() are nearly identical. The
former does some validation of the name where the latter doesn't.
Outside of the VFS that validation is likely valuable, and having only
one exported function for this task is certainly a good idea.
So make d_hash_and_lookup() local to VFS files and change all other
callers to try_lookup_noperm(). Note that the arguments are swapped.

The lookup_one_len family of functions is (now) only used internally by
a filesystem on itself either
- in a context where permission checking is irrelevant such as by a
virtual filesystem populating itself, or xfs accessing its ORPHANAGE
or dquota accessing the quota file; or
- in a context where a permission check (MAY_EXEC on the parent) has just
been performed such as a network filesystem finding in "silly-rename"
file in the same directory. This is also the context after the
_parentat() functions where currently lookup_one_qstr_excl() is used.
So the permission check is pointless.
The name "one_len" is unhelpful in understanding the purpose of these
functions and should be changed. Most of the callers pass the len as
"strlen()" so using a qstr and QSTR() can simplify the code.
This patch renames these functions (include lookup_positive_unlocked()
which is part of the family despite the name) to have a name based on
"lookup_noperm". They are changed to receive a 'struct qstr' instead
of separate name and len. In a few cases the use of QSTR() results in a
new call to strlen().
try_lookup_noperm() takes a pointer to a qstr instead of the whole
qstr. This is consistent with d_hash_and_lookup() (which is nearly
identical) and useful for lookup_noperm_unlocked().
The new lookup_noperm_common() doesn't take a qstr yet. That will be
tidied up in a subsequent patch.

The family of functions:
lookup_one()
lookup_one_unlocked()
lookup_one_positive_unlocked()
appear designed to be used by external clients of the filesystem rather
than by filesystems acting on themselves as the lookup_one_len family
are used.
They are used by:
btrfs/ioctl - which is a user-space interface rather than an internal
activity
exportfs - i.e. from nfsd or the open_by_handle_at interface
overlayfs - at access the underlying filesystems
smb/server - for file service
They should be used by nfsd (more than just the exportfs path) and
cachefs but aren't.
It would help if the documentation didn't claim they should "not be
called by generic code".
Also the path component name is passed as "name" and "len" which are
(confusingly?) separate by the "base". In some cases the len in simply
"strlen" and so passing a qstr using QSTR() would make the calling
clearer.
Other callers do pass separate name and len which are stored in a
struct. Sometimes these are already stored in a qstr, other times it
easily could be.
So this patch changes these three functions to receive a 'struct qstr *',
and improves the documentation.
QSTR_LEN() is added to make it easy to pass a QSTR containing a known
len.

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
"Ext4 bug fixes and cleanups, including:
- hardening against maliciously fuzzed file systems
- backwards compatibility for the brief period when we attempted to
ignore zero-width characters
- avoid potentially BUG'ing if there is a file system corruption
found during the file system unmount
- fix free space reporting by statfs when project quotas are enabled
and the free space is less than the remaining project quota
Also improve performance when replaying a journal with a very large
number of revoke records (applicable for Lustre volumes)"

Pull bcachefs updates from Kent Overstreet:
"On disk format is now soft frozen: no more required/automatic are
anticipated before taking off the experimental label.
Major changes/features since 6.14:
- Scrub
- Blocksize greater than page size support
- A number of "rebalance spinning and doing no work" issues have been
fixed; we now check if the write allocation will succeed in
bch2_data_update_init(), before kicking off the read.
There's still more work to do in this area. Later we may want to
add another bitset btree, like rebalance_work, to track "extents
that rebalance was requested to move but couldn't", e.g. due to
destination target having insufficient online devices.
- We can now support scaling well into the petabyte range: latest
bcachefs-tools will pick an appropriate bucket size at format time
to ensure fsck can run in available memory (e.g. a server with
256GB of ram and 100PB of storage would want 16MB buckets).
On disk format changes:
- 1.21: cached backpointers (scalability improvement)
Cached replicas now get backpointers, which means we no longer rely
on incrementing bucket generation numbers to invalidate cached
data: this lets us get rid of the bucket generation number garbage
collection, which had to periodically rescan all extents to
recompute bucket oldest_gen.
Bucket generation numbers are now only used as a consistency check,
but they're quite useful for that.
- 1.22: stripe backpointers
Stripes now have backpointers: erasure coded stripes have their own
checksums, separate from the checksums for the extents they contain
(and stripe checksums also cover the parity blocks). This is
required for implementing scrub for stripes.
- 1.23: stripe lru (scalability improvement)
Persistent lru for stripes, ordered by "number of empty blocks".
This is used by the stripe creation path, which depending on free
space may create a new stripe out of a partially empty existing
stripe instead of starting a brand new stripe.
This replaces an in-memory heap, and means we no longer have to
read in the stripes btree at startup.
- 1.24: casefolding
Case insensitive directory support, courtesy of Valve.
This is an incompatible feature, to enable mount with
-o version_upgrade=incompatible
- 1.25: extent_flags
Another incompatible feature requiring explicit opt-in to enable.
This adds a flags entry to extents, and a flag bit that marks
extents as poisoned.
A poisoned extent is an extent that was unreadable due to checksum
errors. We can't move such extents without giving them a new
checksum, and we may have to move them (for e.g. copygc or device
evacuate). We also don't want to delete them: in the future we'll
have an API that lets userspace ignore checksum errors and attempt
to deal with simple bitrot itself. Marking them as poisoned lets us
continue to return the correct error to userspace on normal read
calls.
Other changes/features:
- BCH_IOCTL_QUERY_COUNTERS: this is used by the new 'bcachefs fs top'
command, which shows a live view of all internal filesystem
counters.
- Improved journal pipelining: we can now have 16 journal writes in
flight concurrently, up from 4. We're logging significantly more to
the journal than we used to with all the recent disk accounting
changes and additions, so some users should see a performance
increase on some workloads.
- BCH_MEMBER_STATE_failed: previously, we would do no IO at all to
devices marked as failed. Now we will attempt to read from them,
but only if we have no better options.
- New option, write_error_timeout: devices will be kicked out of the
filesystem if all writes have been failing for x number of seconds.
We now also kick devices out when notified by blk_holder_ops that
they've gone offline.
- Device option handling improvements: the discard option should now
be working as expected (additionally, in -tools, all device options
that can be set at format time can now be set at device add time,
i.e. data_allowed, state).
- We now try harder to read data after a checksum error: we'll do
additional retries if necessary to a device after after it gave us
data with a checksum error.
- More self healing work: the full inode <-> dirent consistency
checks that are currently run by fsck are now also run every time
we do a lookup, meaning we'll be able to correct errors at runtime.
Runtime self healing will be flipped on after the new changes have
seen more testing, currently they're just checking for consistency.
- KMSAN fixes: our KMSAN builds should be nearly clean now, which
will put a massive dent in the syzbot dashboard"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs
Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this round, there are three major updates: (1) folio conversion,
(2) refactoring for mount API conversion, (3) some performance
improvement such as direct IO, checkpoint speed, and IO priority
hints.
For stability, there are patches which add more sanity checks and
fixes some major issues like i_size in atomic write operations and
write pointer recovery in zoned devices.
Enhancements:
- huge folio converion work by Matthew Wilcox
- clean up for mount API conversion by Eric Sandeen
- improve direct IO speed in the overwrite case
- add some sanity check on node consistency
- set highest IO priority for checkpoint thread
- keep POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE ranges and add sysfs entry to reclaim pages
- add ioctl to get IO priority hint
- add carve_out sysfs node for fsstat
Bug fixes:
- disable nat_bits during umount to avoid potential nat entry corruption
- fix missing i_size update on atomic writes
- fix missing discard for active segments
- fix running out of free segments
- fix out-of-bounds access in f2fs_truncate_inode_blocks()
- call f2fs_recover_quota_end() correctly
- fix potential deadloop in prepare_compress_overwrite()
- fix the missing write pointer correction for zoned device
- fix to avoid panic once fallocation fails for pinfile
- don't retry IO for corrupted data scenario
There are many other clean up patches and minor bug fixes as usual"
