2023-08-06vfs: get rid of old '->iterate' directory operationLinus Torvalds
All users now just use '->iterate_shared()', which only takes the directory inode lock for reading. Filesystems that never got convered to shared mode now instead use a wrapper that drops the lock, re-takes it in write mode, calls the old function, and then downgrades the lock back to read mode. This way the VFS layer and other callers no longer need to care about filesystems that never got converted to the modern era. The filesystems that use the new wrapper are ceph, coda, exfat, jfs, ntfs, ocfs2, overlayfs, and vboxsf. Honestly, several of them look like they really could just iterate their directories in shared mode and skip the wrapper entirely, but the point of this change is to not change semantics or fix filesystems that haven't been fixed in the last 7+ years, but to finally get rid of the dual iterators.

2023-07-27tmpfs: fix Documentation of noswap and huge mount optionsHugh Dickins
The noswap mount option is surely not one of the three options for sizing: move its description down. The huge= mount option does not accept numeric values: those are just in an internal enum. Delete those numbers, and follow the manpage text more closely (but there's not yet any fadvise() or fcntl() which applies here). /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled is hard to describe, and barely relevant to mounting a tmpfs: just refer to transhuge.rst (while still using the words deny and force, to help as informal reminders).

Exponential backoff is unnecessarily conservative - Create a new MPTCP getsockopt to retrieve all info (MPTCP_FULL_INFO) - Avoid waking up applications using TLS sockets until we have a full record - Allow using kernel memory for protocol ioctl callbacks, paving the way to issuing ioctls over io_uring - Add nolocalbypass option to VxLAN, forcing packets to be fully encapsulated even if they are destined for a local IP address - Make TCPv4 use consistent hash in TIME_WAIT and SYN_RECV.

Support L4 symmetric hashing in Open vSwitch - PPPoE: make number of hash bits configurable - Allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCPACK in the in-kernel DHCP client (ipconfig) - Add layer 2 miss indication and filtering, allowing higher layers (e.g. ACL filters) to make forwarding decisions based on whether packet matched forwarding state in lower devices (bridge) - Support matching on Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) packets - Hide the "link becomes ready" IPv6 messages by demoting their printk level to debug - HSR: don't enable promiscuous mode if device offloads the proto - Support active scanning in IEEE 802.15.4 - Continue work on Multi-Link Operation for WiFi 7 BPF: - Add precision propagation for subprogs and callbacks. This allows maintaining verification efficiency when subprograms are used, or in fact passing the verifier at all for complex programs, especially those using open-coded iterators - Improve BPF's {g,s}setsockopt() length handling. Previously BPF assumed the length is always equal to the amount of written data. But some protos allow passing a NULL buffer to discover what the output buffer *should* be, without writing anything - Accept dynptr memory as memory arguments passed to helpers - Add routing table ID to bpf_fib_lookup BPF helper - Support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands - Drop bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE command (used to mark maps as read-only) - Show target_{obj,btf}_id in tracing link fdinfo - Addition of several new kfuncs (most of the names are self-explanatory): - Add a set of new dynptr kfuncs: bpf_dynptr_adjust(), bpf_dynptr_is_null(), bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly(), bpf_dynptr_size() and bpf_dynptr_clone(). - bpf_task_under_cgroup() - bpf_sock_destroy() - force closing sockets - bpf_cpumask_first_and(), rework bpf_cpumask_any*() kfuncs Netfilter: - Relax set/map validation checks in nf_tables.

The compiler option '-fstrict-flex-arrays=3' has been enabled globally, and has been in -next for the entire devel cycle. This changes compiler diagnostics (though mainly just -Warray-bounds which is disabled) and potential UBSAN_BOUNDS and FORTIFY _warning_ coverage. In other words, there are no new restrictions, just potentially new warnings. Any new FORTIFY warnings we've seen have been fixed (usually in their respective subsystem trees). For more details, see commit df8fc4e934c12b. The under-development compiler attribute __counted_by has been added so that we can start annotating flexible array members with their associated structure member that tracks the count of flexible array elements at run-time. It is possible (likely?) that the exact syntax of the attribute will change before it is finalized, but GCC and Clang are working together to sort it out. Any changes can be made to the macro while we continue to add annotations. As an example of that last case, I have a treewide commit waiting with such annotations found via Coccinelle: https://git.kernel.org/linus/adc5b3cb48a049563dc673f348eab7b6beba8a9b Also see commit dd06e72e68bcb4 for more details.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs rename locking updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the work from Jan to fix problems with cross-directory renames originally reported in [1]. To quickly sum it up some filesystems (so far we know at least about ext4, udf, f2fs, ocfs2, likely also reiserfs, gfs2 and others) need to lock the directory when it is being renamed into another directory. This is because we need to update the parent pointer in the directory in that case and if that races with other operations on the directory, in particular a conversion from one directory format into another, bad things can happen. So far we've done the locking in the filesystem code but recently Darrick pointed out in [2] that the RENAME_EXCHANGE case was missing. That one is particularly nasty because RENAME_EXCHANGE can arbitrarily mix regular files and directories and proper lock ordering is not achievable in the filesystems alone. This patch set adds locking into vfs_rename() so that not only parent directories but also moved inodes, regardless of whether they are directories or not, are locked when calling into the filesystem. This means establishing a locking order for unrelated directories. New helpers are added for this purpose and our documentation is updated to cover this in detail. The locking is now actually easier to follow as we now always lock source and target. We've always locked the target independent of whether it was a directory or file and we've always locked source if it was a regular file.

2023-06-20fsverity: improve documentation for builtin signature supportEric Biggers
fsverity builtin signatures (CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES) aren't the only way to do signatures with fsverity, and they have some major limitations. Yet, more users have tried to use them, e.g. recently by https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/2640. In most cases this seems to be because users aren't sufficiently familiar with the limitations of this feature and what the alternatives are. Therefore, make some updates to the documentation to try to clarify the properties of this feature and nudge users in the right direction. Note that the Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE) LSM, which is not yet upstream, is planned to use the builtin signatures. (This differs from IMA, which uses its own signature mechanism.) For that reason, my earlier patch "fsverity: mark builtin signatures as deprecated" (https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221208033548.122704-1-ebiggers@kernel.org), which marked builtin signatures as "deprecated", was controversial.

2023-06-19ovl: store enum redirect_mode in config instead of a stringAmir Goldstein
Do all the logic to set the mode during mount options parsing and do not keep the option string around. Use a constant_table to translate from enum redirect mode to string in preperation for new mount api option parsing. The mount option "off" is translated to either "follow" or "nofollow", depending on the "redirect_always_follow" build/module config, so in effect, there are only three possible redirect modes. This results in a minor change to the string that is displayed in show_options() - when redirect_dir is enabled by default and the user mounts with the option "redirect_dir=off", instead of displaying the mode "redirect_dir=off" in show_options(), the displayed mode will be either "redirect_dir=follow" or "redirect_dir=nofollow", depending on the value of "redirect_always_follow" build/module config. The displayed mode reflects the effective mode, so mounting overlayfs again with the dispalyed redirect_dir option will result with the same effective and displayed mode.

2023-06-19ovl: introduce data-only lower layersAmir Goldstein
Introduce the format lowerdir=lower1:lower2::lowerdata1::lowerdata2 where the lower layers on the right of the :: separators are not merged into the overlayfs merge dirs. Data-only lower layers are only allowed at the bottom of the stack. The files in those layers are only meant to be accessible via absolute redirect from metacopy files in lower layers. Following changes will implement lookup in the data layers. This feature was requested for composefs ostree use case, where the lower data layer should only be accessiable via absolute redirects from metacopy inodes. The lower data layers are not required to a have a unique uuid or any uuid at all, because they are never used to compose the overlayfs inode st_ino/st_dev.

2023-06-02fs: Lock moved directoriesJan Kara
When a directory is moved to a different directory, some filesystems (udf, ext4, ocfs2, f2fs, and likely gfs2, reiserfs, and others) need to update their pointer to the parent and this must not race with other operations on the directory. Lock the directories when they are moved. Although not all filesystems need this locking, we perform it in vfs_rename() because getting the lock ordering right is really difficult and we don't want to expose these locking details to filesystems.

While it would break building with ancient gcc versions that predate c99, it helps building with --std=c99 and -Wpedantic builds in user space, as well as non-gnu compilers.

2023-05-22exportfs: add explicit flag to request non-decodeable file handlesAmir Goldstein
So far, all callers of exportfs_encode_inode_fh(), except for fsnotify's show_mark_fhandle(), check that filesystem can decode file handles, but we would like to add more callers that do not require a file handle that can be decoded. Introduce a flag to explicitly request a file handle that may not to be decoded later and a wrapper exportfs_encode_fid() that sets this flag and convert show_mark_fhandle() to use the new wrapper. This will be used to allow adding fanotify support to filesystems that do not support NFS export.

The current plan is to move the rest of the architectures in 6.5, with the patches going through the appropriate subsystem trees. - Some more Spanish translations and maintenance of the Italian translation - A new "Kernel contribution maturity model" document from Ted - A new tutorial on quickly building a trimmed kernel from Thorsten Plus the usual set of updates and fixes" * tag 'docs-6.4' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (47 commits) media: Adjust column width for pdfdocs media: Fix building pdfdocs docs: clk: add documentation to log which clocks have been disabled docs: trace: Fix typo in ftrace.rst Documentation/process: always CC responsible lists docs: kmemleak: adjust to config renaming ELF: document some de-facto PT_* ABI quirks Documentation: arm: remove stih415/stih416 related entries docs: turn off "smart quotes" in the HTML build Documentation: firmware: Clarify firmware path usage docs/mm: Physical Memory: Fix grammar Documentation: Add document for false sharing dma-api-howto: typo fix docs: move m68k architecture documentation under Documentation/arch/ docs: move parisc documentation under Documentation/arch/ docs: move ia64 architecture docs under Documentation/arch/ docs: Move arc architecture docs under Documentation/arch/ docs: move nios2 documentation under Documentation/arch/ docs: move openrisc documentation under Documentation/arch/ docs: move superh documentation under Documentation/arch/ ...
2023-04-21fs/proc: add Kthread flag to /proc/$pid/statusChunguang Wu
The command `ps -ef ` and `top -c` mark kernel thread by '[' and ']', but sometimes the result is not correct. The task->flags in /proc/$pid/stat is good, but we need remember the value of PF_KTHREAD is 0x00200000 and convert dec to hex. If we have no binary program and shell script which read /proc/$pid/stat, we can know it directly by `cat /proc/$pid/status`.

2023-04-17erofs: set block size to the on-disk block sizeJingbo Xu
Set the block size to that specified in on-disk superblock. Also remove the hard constraint of PAGE_SIZE block size for the uncompressed device backend. This constraint is temporarily remained for compressed device and fscache backend, as there is more work needed to handle the condition where the block size is not equal to PAGE_SIZE. It is worth noting that the on-disk block size is read prior to erofs_superblock_csum_verify(), as the read block size is needed in the latter. Besides, later we are going to make erofs refer to tar data blobs (which is 512-byte aligned) for OCI containers, where the block size is 512 bytes. In this case, the 512-byte block size may not be adequate for a directory to contain enough dirents. To fix this, we are also going to introduce directory block size independent on the block size. Due to we have already supported block size smaller than PAGE_SIZE now, disable all these images with such separated directory block size until we supported this feature later.

2023-04-11xfs: document directory tree repairsDarrick J. Wong
Directory tree repairs are the least complete part of online fsck, due to the lack of directory parent pointers. However, even without that feature, we can still make some corrections to the directory tree -- we can salvage as many directory entries as we can from a damaged directory, and we can reattach orphaned inodes to the lost+found, just as xfs_repair does now.

2023-04-11xfs: document metadata file repairDarrick J. Wong
File-based metadata (such as xattrs and directories) can be extremely large. To reduce the memory requirements and maximize code reuse, it is very convenient to create a temporary file, use the regular dir/attr code to store salvaged information, and then atomically swap the extents between the file being repaired and the temporary file. Record the high level concepts behind how temporary files and atomic content swapping should work, and then present some case studies of what the actual repair functions do. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2023-04-11xfs: document full filesystem scans for online fsckDarrick J. Wong
Certain parts of the online fsck code need to scan every file in the entire filesystem. It is not acceptable to block the entire filesystem while this happens, which means that we need to be clever in allowing scans to coordinate with ongoing filesystem updates. We also need to hook the filesystem so that regular updates propagate to the staging records. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

2023-04-11xfs: document how online fsck deals with eventual consistencyDarrick J. Wong
Writes to an XFS filesystem employ an eventual consistency update model to break up complex multistep metadata updates into small chained transactions. This is generally good for performance and scalability because XFS doesn't need to prepare for enormous transactions, but it also means that online fsck must be careful not to attempt a fsck action unless it can be shown that there are no other threads processing a transaction chain. This part of the design documentation covers the thinking behind the consistency model and how scrub deals with it. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
