The only remaining user of ->d_real() method is d_real_inode(), which
passed NULL inode argument to get the real data dentry.
There are no longer any users that call ->d_real() with a non-NULL
inode argument for getting a detry from a specific underlying layer.
Remove the inode argument of the method and replace it with an integer
'type' argument, to allow callers to request the real metadata dentry
instead of the real data dentry.
All the current users of d_real_inode() (e.g. uprobe) continue to get
the real data inode. Caller that need to get the real metadata inode
(e.g. IMA/EVM) can use d_inode(d_real(dentry, D_REAL_METADATA)).

After we inject fault into f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr() during truncation,
a) it missed to increase @nr_free or @valid_blocks
b) it can cause in blkaddr leak in truncated dnode
Which may cause inconsistent status.
This patch separates FAULT_BLKADDR_CONSISTENCE from FAULT_BLKADDR,
and rename FAULT_BLKADDR to FAULT_BLKADDR_VALIDITY
so that we can:
a) use FAULT_BLKADDR_CONSISTENCE in f2fs_truncate_data_blocks_range()
to simulate inconsistent issue independently, then it can verify fsck
repair flow.
b) FAULT_BLKADDR_VALIDITY fault will not cause any inconsistent status,
we can just use it to check error path handling in kernel side.

The replacement, NTFS3, was merged over two years ago. It is now time to
remove the original from the tree as it is the last user of several APIs,
and it is not worth changing.

An opaque directory cannot have xwhiteouts, so instead of marking an
xwhiteouts directory with a new xattr, overload overlay.opaque xattr
for marking both opaque dir ('y') and xwhiteouts dir ('x').
This is more efficient as the overlay.opaque xattr is checked during
lookup of directory anyway.
This also prevents unnecessary checking the xattr when reading a
directory without xwhiteouts, i.e. most of the time.
Note that the xwhiteouts marker is not checked on the upper layer and
on the last layer in lowerstack, where xwhiteouts are not expected.
Fixes: bc8df7a3dc03 ("ovl: Add an alternative type of whiteout")

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

Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet:
"Another moderately busy cycle for documentation, including:
- The minimum Sphinx requirement has been raised to 2.4.4, following
a warning that was added in 6.2
- Some reworking of the Documentation/process front page to,
hopefully, make it more useful
- Various kernel-doc tweaks to, for example, make it deal properly
with __counted_by annotations
- We have also restored a warning for documentation of nonexistent
structure members that disappeared a while back. That had the
delightful consequence of adding some 600 warnings to the docs
build. A sustained effort by Randy, Vegard, and myself has
addressed almost all of those, bringing the documentation back into
sync with the code. The fixes are going through the appropriate
maintainer trees
- Various improvements to the HTML rendered docs, including automatic
links to Git revisions and a nice new pulldown to make translations
easy to access
- Speaking of translations, more of those for Spanish and Chinese

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

In preparation for adding support for anonymous multi-size THP, introduce
new sysfs structure that will be used to control the new behaviours. A
new directory is added under transparent_hugepage for each supported THP
size, and contains an `enabled` file, which can be set to "inherit" (to
inherit the global setting), "always", "madvise" or "never". For now, the
kernel still only supports PMD-sized anonymous THP, so only 1 directory is
populated.
The first half of the change converts transhuge_vma_suitable() and
hugepage_vma_check() so that they take a bitfield of orders for which the
user wants to determine support, and the functions filter out all the
orders that can't be supported, given the current sysfs configuration and
the VMA dimensions. The resulting functions are renamed to
thp_vma_suitable_orders() and thp_vma_allowable_orders() respectively.
Convenience functions that take a single, unencoded order and return a
boolean are also defined as thp_vma_suitable_order() and
thp_vma_allowable_order().
The second half of the change implements the new sysfs interface. It has
been done so that each supported THP size has a `struct thpsize`, which
describes the relevant metadata and is itself a kobject. This is pretty
minimal for now, but should make it easy to add new per-thpsize files to
the interface if needed in future (e.g. per-size defrag). Rather than
keep the `enabled` state directly in the struct thpsize, I've elected to
directly encode it into huge_anon_orders_[always|madvise|inherit]
bitfields since this reduces the amount of work required in
thp_vma_allowable_orders() which is called for every page fault.
See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst, as modified by this
commit, for details of how the new sysfs interface works.

When SQUASHFS_CHOICE_DECOMP_BY_MOUNT is set, the "threads" mount option
can be used to specify the decompression mode: single-threaded,
multi-threaded, percpu or the number of threads used for decompression.
When SQUASHFS_CHOICE_DECOMP_BY_MOUNT is not set, SQUASHFS_DECOMP_MULTI and
SQUASHFS_MOUNT_DECOMP_THREADS are both set, the "threads" option can also
be used to specify the number of threads used for decompression. This

Another mount option available is "errors", which can be configured to
panic the kernel when squashfs errors are encountered.
Add both these options to the squashfs documentation, making them more

... and fix the directory locking documentation and proof of correctness.
Holding ->s_vfs_rename_mutex *almost* prevents ->d_parent changes; the
case where we really don't want it is splicing the root of disconnected
tree to somewhere.
In other words, ->s_vfs_rename_mutex is sufficient to stabilize "X is an
ancestor of Y" only if X and Y are already in the same tree. Otherwise
it can go from false to true, and one can construct a deadlock on that.
Make lock_two_directories() report an error in such case and update the
callers of lock_rename()/lock_rename_child() to handle such errors.
And yes, such conditions are not impossible to create ;-/

We should never lock two subdirectories without having taken
->s_vfs_rename_mutex; inode pointer order or not, the "order" proposed
in 28eceeda130f "fs: Lock moved directories" is not transitive, with
the usual consequences.
The rationale for locking renamed subdirectory in all cases was
the possibility of race between rename modifying .. in a subdirectory to
reflect the new parent and another thread modifying the same subdirectory.
For a lot of filesystems that's not a problem, but for some it can lead
to trouble (e.g. the case when short directory contents is kept in the
inode, but creating a file in it might push it across the size limit
and copy its contents into separate data block(s)).
However, we need that only in case when the parent does change -
otherwise ->rename() doesn't need to do anything with .. entry in the
first place. Some instances are lazy and do a tautological update anyway,
but it's really not hard to avoid.
Amended locking rules for rename():
find the parent(s) of source and target
if source and target have the same parent
lock the common parent
else
lock ->s_vfs_rename_mutex
lock both parents, in ancestor-first order; if neither
is an ancestor of another, lock the parent of source
first.
find the source and target.
if source and target have the same parent
if operation is an overwriting rename of a subdirectory
lock the target subdirectory
else
if source is a subdirectory
lock the source
if target is a subdirectory
lock the target
lock non-directories involved, in inode pointer order if both
source and target are such.
That way we are guaranteed that parents are locked (for obvious reasons),
that any renamed non-directory is locked (nfsd relies upon that),
that any victim is locked (emptiness check needs that, among other things)
and subdirectory that changes parent is locked (needed to protect the update
of .. entries). We are also guaranteed that any operation locking more
than one directory either takes ->s_vfs_rename_mutex or locks a parent
followed by its child.

Currently we enter __dentry_kill() with parent (along with the victim
dentry and victim's inode) held locked. Then we
mark dentry refcount as dead
call ->d_prune()
remove dentry from hash
remove it from the parent's list of children
unlock the parent, don't need it from that point on
detach dentry from inode, unlock dentry and drop the inode
(via ->d_iput())
call ->d_release()
regain the lock on dentry
check if it's on a shrink list (in which case freeing its empty husk
has to be left to shrink_dentry_list()) or not (in which case we can free it
ourselves). In the former case, mark it as an empty husk, so that
shrink_dentry_list() would know it can free the sucker.
drop the lock on dentry
... and usually the caller proceeds to drop a reference on the parent,
possibly retaking the lock on it.
That is painful for a bunch of reasons, starting with the need to take locks
out of order, but not limited to that - the parent of positive dentry can
change if we drop its ->d_lock, so getting these locks has to be done with
care. Moreover, as soon as dentry is out of the parent's list of children,
shrink_dcache_for_umount() won't see it anymore, making it appear as if
the parent is inexplicably busy. We do work around that by having
shrink_dentry_list() decrement the parent's refcount first and put it on
shrink list to be evicted once we are done with __dentry_kill() of child,
but that may in some cases lead to ->d_iput() on child called after the
parent got killed. That doesn't happen in cases where in-tree ->d_iput()
instances might want to look at the parent, but that's brittle as hell.
Solution: do removal from the parent's list of children in the very
end of __dentry_kill(). As the result, the callers do not need to
lock the parent and by the time we really need the parent locked,
dentry is negative and is guaranteed not to be moved around.
It does mean that ->d_prune() will be called with parent not locked.
It also means that we might see dentries in process of being torn
down while going through the parent's list of children; those dentries
will be unhashed, negative and with refcount marked dead. In practice,
that's enough for in-tree code that looks through the list of children
to do the right thing as-is. Out-of-tree code might need to be adjusted.
Calling conventions: __dentry_kill(dentry) is called with dentry->d_lock
held, along with ->i_lock of its inode (if any). It either returns
the parent (locked, with refcount decremented to 0) or NULL (if there'd
been no parent or if refcount decrement for parent hadn't reached 0).
lock_for_kill() is adjusted for new requirements - it doesn't touch
the parent's ->d_lock at all.
Callers adjusted. Note that for dput() we don't need to bother with
fast_dput() for the parent - we just need to check retain_dentry()
for it, since its ->d_lock is still held since the moment when
__dentry_kill() had taken it to remove the victim from the list of
children.
The kludge with early decrement of parent's refcount in
shrink_dentry_list() is no longer needed - shrink_dcache_for_umount()
sees the half-killed dentries in the list of children for as long
as they are pinning the parent. They are easily recognized and
accounted for by select_collect(), so we know we are not done yet.
As the result, we always have the expected ordering for ->d_iput()/->d_release()
vs. __dentry_kill() of the parent, no exceptions. Moreover, the current
rules for shrink lists (one must make sure that shrink_dcache_for_umount()
won't happen while any dentries from the superblock in question are on
any shrink lists) are gone - shrink_dcache_for_umount() will do the
right thing in all cases, taking such dentries out. Their empty
husks (memory occupied by struct dentry itself + its external name,
if any) will remain on the shrink lists, but they are no obstacles
to filesystem shutdown. And such husks will get freed as soon as
shrink_dentry_list() of the list they are on gets to them.

Instead of bumping it from 0 to 1, calling retain_dentry(), then
decrementing it back to 0 (with ->d_lock held all the way through),
just leave refcount at 0 through all of that.
It will have a visible effect for ->d_delete() - now it can be
called with refcount 0 instead of 1 and it can no longer play
silly buggers with dropping/regaining ->d_lock. Not that any
in-tree instances tried to (it's pretty hard to get right).
Any out-of-tree ones will have to adjust (assuming they need any
changes).
Note that we do not need to extend rcu-critical area here - we have
verified that refcount is non-negative after having grabbed ->d_lock,
so nobody will be able to free dentry until they get into __dentry_kill(),
which won't happen until they manage to grab ->d_lock.

"This work is part of the plan to enable fanotify to serve as a drop-in
replacement for inotify. While inotify is availabe on all filesystems,
fanotify currently isn't.
In order to support fanotify on all filesystems two things are needed:
(1) all filesystems need to support AT_HANDLE_FID
(2) all filesystems need to report a non-zero f_fsid
This contains (1) and allows filesystems to encode non-decodable file
handlers for fanotify without implementing any exportfs operations by
encoding a file id of type FILEID_INO64_GEN from i_ino and
i_generation.
Filesystems that want to opt out of encoding non-decodable file ids
for fanotify that don't support NFS export can do so by providing an
empty export_operations struct.
This also partially addresses (2) by generating f_fsid for simple
filesystems as well as freevxfs. Remaining filesystems will be dealt
with by separate patches.
Finally, this contains the patch from the current exportfs maintainers
which moves exportfs under vfs with Chuck, Jeff, and Amir as

Add new mount options lowerdir+ and datadir+ that can be used to add
layers to lower layers stack one by one.
Unlike the legacy lowerdir mount option, special characters (i.e. colons
and cammas) are not unescaped with these new mount options.
The new mount options can be repeated to compose a large stack of lower
layers, but they may not be mixed with the lagacy lowerdir mount option,
because for displaying lower layers in mountinfo, we do not want to mix
escaped with unescaped lower layers path syntax.
Similar to data-only layer rules with the lowerdir mount option, the
datadir+ option must follow at least one lowerdir+ option and the
lowerdir+ option must not follow the datadir+ option.
If the legacy lowerdir mount option follows lowerdir+ and datadir+
mount options, it overrides them. Sepcifically, calling:
fsconfig(FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "lowerdir", "", 0);
can be used to reset previously setup lower layers.

"This update adds support for configuring the crypto data unit size
(i.e. the granularity of file contents encryption) to be less than the
filesystem block size. This can allow users to use inline encryption
hardware in some cases when it wouldn't otherwise be possible.
In addition, there are two commits that are prerequisites for the

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
"This release completes the SunRPC thread scheduler work that was begun
in v6.6. The scheduler can now find an svc thread to wake in constant
time and without a list walk. Thanks again to Neil Brown for this
overhaul.
Lorenzo Bianconi contributed infrastructure for a netlink-based NFSD
control plane. The long-term plan is to provide the same functionality
as found in /proc/fs/nfsd, plus some interesting additions, and then
migrate the NFSD user space utilities to netlink.
A long series to overhaul NFSD's NFSv4 operation encoding was applied
in this release. The goals are to bring this family of encoding
functions in line with the matching NFSv4 decoding functions and with
the NFSv2 and NFSv3 XDR functions, preparing the way for better memory
safety and maintainability.
A further improvement to NFSD's write delegation support was
contributed by Dai Ngo. This adds a CB_GETATTR callback, enabling the
server to retrieve cached size and mtime data from clients holding
write delegations. If the server can retrieve this information, it
does not have to recall the delegation in some cases.
The usual panoply of bug fixes and minor improvements round out this
release. As always I am grateful to all contributors, reviewers, and
testers"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
for vfs and individual fses.
Features:
- Rename and export helpers that get write access to a mount. They
are used in overlayfs to get write access to the upper mount.
- Print the pretty name of the root device on boot failure. This
helps in scenarios where we would usually only print
"unknown-block(1,2)".
- Add an internal SB_I_NOUMASK flag. This is another part in the
endless POSIX ACL saga in a way.
When POSIX ACLs are enabled via SB_POSIXACL the vfs cannot strip
the umask because if the relevant inode has POSIX ACLs set it might
take the umask from there. But if the inode doesn't have any POSIX
ACLs set then we apply the umask in the filesytem itself. So we end
up with:
(1) no SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in vfs
(2) SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in filesystem
The umask semantics associated with SB_POSIXACL allowed filesystems
that don't even support POSIX ACLs at all to raise SB_POSIXACL
purely to avoid umask stripping. That specifically means NFS v4 and
Overlayfs. NFS v4 does it because it delegates this to the server
and Overlayfs because it needs to delegate umask stripping to the
upper filesystem, i.e., the filesystem used as the writable layer.
This went so far that SB_POSIXACL is raised eve on kernels that
don't even have POSIX ACL support at all.
Stop this blatant abuse and add SB_I_NOUMASK which is an internal
superblock flag that filesystems can raise to opt out of umask
handling. That should really only be the two mentioned above. It's
not that we want any filesystems to do this. Ideally we have all
umask handling always in the vfs.
- Make overlayfs use SB_I_NOUMASK too.
- Now that we have SB_I_NOUMASK, stop checking for SB_POSIXACL in
IS_POSIXACL() if the kernel doesn't have support for it. This is a
very old patch but it's only possible to do this now with the wider
cleanup that was done.
- Follow-up work on fake path handling from last cycle. Citing mostly
from Amir:
When overlayfs was first merged, overlayfs files of regular files
and directories, the ones that are installed in file table, had a
"fake" path, namely, f_path is the overlayfs path and f_inode is
the "real" inode on the underlying filesystem.
In v6.5, we took another small step by introducing of the
backing_file container and the file_real_path() helper. This change
allowed vfs and filesystem code to get the "real" path of an
overlayfs backing file. With this change, we were able to make
fsnotify work correctly and report events on the "real" filesystem
objects that were accessed via overlayfs.
This method works fine, but it still leaves the vfs vulnerable to
new code that is not aware of files with fake path. A recent
example is commit db1d1e8b9867 ("IMA: use vfs_getattr_nosec to get
the i_version"). This commit uses direct referencing to f_path in
IMA code that otherwise uses file_inode() and file_dentry() to
reference the filesystem objects that it is measuring.
This contains work to switch things around: instead of having
filesystem code opt-in to get the "real" path, have generic code
opt-in for the "fake" path in the few places that it is needed.
Is it far more likely that new filesystems code that does not use
the file_dentry() and file_real_path() helpers will end up causing
crashes or averting LSM/audit rules if we keep the "fake" path
exposed by default.
This change already makes file_dentry() moot, but for now we did
not change this helper just added a WARN_ON() in ovl_d_real() to
catch if we have made any wrong assumptions.
After the dust settles on this change, we can make file_dentry() a
plain accessor and we can drop the inode argument to ->d_real().
- Switch struct file to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This looks like a small
change but it really isn't and I would like to see everyone on
their tippie toes for any possible bugs from this work.
Essentially we've been doing most of what SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for
files since a very long time because of the nasty interactions
between the SCM_RIGHTS file descriptor garbage collection. So
extending it makes a lot of sense but it is a subtle change. There
are almost no places that fiddle with file rcu semantics directly
and the ones that did mess around with struct file internal under
rcu have been made to stop doing that because it really was always
dodgy.
I forgot to put in the link tag for this change and the discussion
in the commit so adding it into the merge message:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230926162228.68666-1-mjguzik@gmail.com
Cleanups:
- Various smaller pipe cleanups including the removal of a spin lock
that was only used to protect against writes without pipe_lock()
from O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE aka watch queues. As that was never
implemented remove the additional locking from pipe_write().
- Annotate struct watch_filter with the new __counted_by attribute.
- Clarify do_unlinkat() cleanup so that it doesn't look like an extra
iput() is done that would cause issues.
- Simplify file cleanup when the file has never been opened.
- Use module helper instead of open-coding it.
- Predict error unlikely for stale retry.
- Use WRITE_ONCE() for mount expiry field instead of just commenting
that one hopes the compiler doesn't get smart.
Fixes:
- Fix readahead on block devices.
- Fix writeback when layztime is enabled and inodes whose timestamp
is the only thing that changed reside on wb->b_dirty_time. This
caused excessively large zombie memory cgroup when lazytime was
enabled as such inodes weren't handled fast enough.
- Convert BUG_ON() to WARN_ON_ONCE() in open_last_lookups()"

Rename the default helper for encoding FILEID_INO32_GEN* file handles to
generic_encode_ino32_fh() and convert the filesystems that used the
default implementation to use the generic helper explicitly.
After this change, exportfs_encode_inode_fh() no longer has a default
implementation to encode FILEID_INO32_GEN* file handles.
This is a step towards allowing filesystems to encode non-decodeable
file handles for fanotify without having to implement any
export_operations.

In recent discussions around some performance improvements in the file
handling area we discussed switching the file cache to rely on
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU which allows us to get rid of call_rcu() based
freeing for files completely. This is a pretty sensitive change overall
but it might actually be worth doing.
The main downside is the subtlety. The other one is that we should
really wait for Jann's patch to land that enables KASAN to handle
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU UAFs. Currently it doesn't but a patch for this
exists.
With SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU objects may be freed and reused multiple times
which requires a few changes. So it isn't sufficient anymore to just
acquire a reference to the file in question under rcu using
atomic_long_inc_not_zero() since the file might have already been
recycled and someone else might have bumped the reference.
In other words, callers might see reference count bumps from newer
users. For this reason it is necessary to verify that the pointer is the
same before and after the reference count increment. This pattern can be
seen in get_file_rcu() and __files_get_rcu().
In addition, it isn't possible to access or check fields in struct file
without first aqcuiring a reference on it. Not doing that was always
very dodgy and it was only usable for non-pointer data in struct file.
With SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU it is necessary that callers first acquire a
reference under rcu or they must hold the files_lock of the fdtable.
Failing to do either one of this is a bug.
Thanks to Jann for pointing out that we need to ensure memory ordering
between reallocations and pointer check by ensuring that all subsequent
loads have a dependency on the second load in get_file_rcu() and
providing a fixup that was folded into this patch.
