generic_fillattr just fills in the entire stat struct indiscriminately
today, copying data from the inode. There is at least one attribute
(STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE) that can have side effects when it is reported,
and we're looking at adding more with the addition of multigrain
timestamps.
Add a request_mask argument to generic_fillattr and have most callers
just pass in the value that is passed to getattr. Have other callers
(e.g. ksmbd) just pass in STATX_BASIC_STATS. Also move the setting of
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE into generic_fillattr.

The 9p code for some reason used to initialize variables outside of the
declaration, e.g. instead of just initializing the variable like this:
int retval = 0
We would be doing this:
int retval;
retval = 0;
This is perfectly fine and the compiler will just optimize dead stores
anyway, but scan-build seems to think this is a problem and there are
many of these warnings making the output of scan-build full of such
warnings:
fs/9p/vfs_inode.c:916:2: warning: Value stored to 'retval' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
retval = 0;
^ ~
I have no strong opinion here, but if we want to regularly run
scan-build we should fix these just to silence the messages.
I've confirmed these all are indeed ok to remove.

was any first.
This fixes the following scan-build warning:

NET_9P_FD/trans_fd.o builds without INET or UNIX and is usable over
plain file descriptors. However, tcp and unix functionality is still
built and would generate runtime failures if used. Add imply INET and

Pull acl updates from Christian Brauner:
"After finishing the introduction of the new posix acl api last cycle
the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers are still around in the
filesystems xattr handlers for two reasons:
(1) Because a few filesystems rely on the ->list() method of the
generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers in their ->listxattr() inode
operation.
(2) POSIX ACLs are only available if IOP_XATTR is raised. The
IOP_XATTR flag is raised in inode_init_always() based on whether
the sb->s_xattr pointer is non-NULL. IOW, the registered xattr
handlers of the filesystem are used to raise IOP_XATTR. Removing
the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers from all filesystems would
risk regressing filesystems that only implement POSIX ACL support
and no other xattrs (nfs3 comes to mind).
This contains the work to decouple POSIX ACLs from the IOP_XATTR flag
as they don't depend on xattr handlers anymore. So it's now possible
to remove the generic POSIX ACL xattr handlers from the sb->s_xattr
list of all filesystems. This is a crucial step as the generic POSIX
ACL xattr handlers aren't used for POSIX ACLs anymore and POSIX ACLs
don't depend on the xattr infrastructure anymore.
Adressing problem (1) will require more long-term work. It would be
best to get rid of the ->list() method of xattr handlers completely at
some point.
For erofs, ext{2,4}, f2fs, jffs2, ocfs2, and reiserfs the nop POSIX
ACL xattr handler is kept around so they can continue to use
array-based xattr handler indexing.
This update does simplify the ->listxattr() implementation of all
these filesystems however"

This patch removes the creating of an additional writeback_fid
for opened files. The patch addresses problems when files
were opened write-only or getattr on files with dirty caches.
This patch also incorporates information about cache behavior
in the fid for every file. This allows us to reflect cache
behavior from mount flags, open mode, and information from
the server to inform readahead and writeback behavior.
This includes adding support for a 9p semantic that qid.version==0
is used to mark a file as non-cachable which is important for
synthetic files. This may have a side-effect of not supporting
caching on certain legacy file servers that do not properly set
qid.version. There is also now a mount flag which can disable
the qid.version behavior.

These flags just add unnecessary extra operations.
When 9p is run without cache, it inherently implements
these options so we don't need them in the superblock
(which ends up sending extraneous fsyncs, etc.). User
can still request these options on mount, but we don't
need to set them as default.

We had 3 different sets of file operations across 2 different protocol
variants differentiated by cache which really only changed 3
functions. But the real problem is that certain file modes, mount
options, and other factors weren't being considered when we
decided whether or not to use caches.
This consolidates all the operations and switches
to conditionals within a common set to decide whether or not
to do different aspects of caching.

Calling '__v9fs_get_acl' method in 'v9fs_get_acl' creates the
following chain of function calls:
__v9fs_get_acl
v9fs_fid_get_acl
v9fs_fid_xattr_get
p9_client_xattrwalk
Function p9_client_xattrwalk accepts a pointer to u64-typed
variable attr_size and puts some u64 value into it. However,
after the executing the p9_client_xattrwalk, in some circumstances
we assign the value of u64-typed variable 'attr_size' to the
variable 'retval', which we will return. However, the type of
'retval' is ssize_t, and if the value of attr_size is larger
than SSIZE_MAX, we will face the signed type overflow. If the
overflow occurs, the result of v9fs_fid_xattr_get may be
negative, but not classified as an error. When we try to allocate
an acl with 'broken' size we receive an error, but don't process
it. When we try to free this acl, we face the 'wild-memory-access'
error (because it wasn't allocated).
This patch will add new condition to the 'v9fs_fid_xattr_get'
function, so it will return an EOVERFLOW error if the 'attr_size'
is larger than SSIZE_MAX.
In this version of the patch I simplified the condition.
In previous (v2) version of the patch I removed explicit type conversion
and added separate condition to check the possible overflow and return
an error (in v1 version I've just modified the existing condition).

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping
Pull vfs idmapping updates from Christian Brauner:
- Last cycle we introduced the dedicated struct mnt_idmap type for
mount idmapping and the required infrastucture in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs:
introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). As promised in last
cycle's pull request message this converts everything to rely on
struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached
to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy
to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with
namespaces that are relevant on the mount level. Especially for
non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this was a
potential source for bugs.
This finishes the conversion. Instead of passing the plain namespace
around this updates all places that currently take a pointer to a
mnt_userns with a pointer to struct mnt_idmap.
Now that the conversion is done all helpers down to the really
low-level helpers only accept a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments.
Conflating mount and other idmappings will now cause the compiler to
complain loudly thus eliminating the possibility of any bugs. This
makes it impossible for filesystem developers to mix up mount and
filesystem idmappings as they are two distinct types and require
distinct helpers that cannot be used interchangeably.
Everything associated with struct mnt_idmap is moved into a single
separate file. With that change no code can poke around in struct
mnt_idmap. It can only be interacted with through dedicated helpers.
That means all filesystems are and all of the vfs is completely
oblivious to the actual implementation of idmappings.
We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap as we see fit. For
example, we can decouple it completely from namespaces for users that
don't require or don't want to use them at all. We can also extend
the concept of idmappings so we can cover filesystem specific
requirements.
In combination with the vfs{g,u}id_t work we finished in v6.2 this
makes this feature substantially more robust and thus difficult to
implement wrong by a given filesystem and also protects the vfs.
- Enable idmapped mounts for tmpfs and fulfill a longstanding request.
A long-standing request from users had been to make it possible to
create idmapped mounts for tmpfs. For example, to share the host's
tmpfs mount between multiple sandboxes. This is a prerequisite for
some advanced Kubernetes cases. Systemd also has a range of use-cases
to increase service isolation. And there are more users of this.
However, with all of the other work going on this was way down on the
priority list but luckily someone other than ourselves picked this
up.
As usual the patch is tiny as all the infrastructure work had been
done multiple kernel releases ago. In addition to all the tests that
we already have I requested that Rodrigo add a dedicated tmpfs
testsuite for idmapped mounts to xfstests. It is to be included into
xfstests during the v6.3 development cycle. This should add a slew of
additional tests.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.
Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

The file locking definitions have lived in fs.h since the dawn of time,
but they are only used by a small subset of the source files that
include it.
Move the file locking definitions to a new header file, and add the
appropriate #include directives to the source files that need them. By
doing this we trim down fs.h a bit and limit the amount of rebuilding
that has to be done when we make changes to the file locking APIs.

Pull VFS acl updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work that builds a dedicated vfs posix acl api.
The origins of this work trace back to v5.19 but it took quite a while
to understand the various filesystem specific implementations in
sufficient detail and also come up with an acceptable solution.
As we discussed and seen multiple times the current state of how posix
acls are handled isn't nice and comes with a lot of problems: The
current way of handling posix acls via the generic xattr api is error
prone, hard to maintain, and type unsafe for the vfs until we call
into the filesystem's dedicated get and set inode operations.
It is already the case that posix acls are special-cased to death all
the way through the vfs. There are an uncounted number of hacks that
operate on the uapi posix acl struct instead of the dedicated vfs
struct posix_acl. And the vfs must be involved in order to interpret
and fixup posix acls before storing them to the backing store, caching
them, reporting them to userspace, or for permission checking.
Currently a range of hacks and duct tape exist to make this work. As
with most things this is really no ones fault it's just something that
happened over time. But the code is hard to understand and difficult
to maintain and one is constantly at risk of introducing bugs and
regressions when having to touch it.
Instead of continuing to hack posix acls through the xattr handlers
this series builds a dedicated posix acl api solely around the get and
set inode operations.
Going forward, the vfs_get_acl(), vfs_remove_acl(), and vfs_set_acl()
helpers must be used in order to interact with posix acls. They
operate directly on the vfs internal struct posix_acl instead of
abusing the uapi posix acl struct as we currently do. In the end this
removes all of the hackiness, makes the codepaths easier to maintain,
and gets us type safety.
This series passes the LTP and xfstests suites without any
regressions. For xfstests the following combinations were tested:
- xfs
- ext4
- btrfs
- overlayfs
- overlayfs on top of idmapped mounts
- orangefs
- (limited) cifs
There's more simplifications for posix acls that we can make in the
future if the basic api has made it.
A few implementation details:
- The series makes sure to retain exactly the same security and
integrity module permission checks. Especially for the integrity
modules this api is a win because right now they convert the uapi
posix acl struct passed to them via a void pointer into the vfs
struct posix_acl format to perform permission checking on the mode.
There's a new dedicated security hook for setting posix acls which
passes the vfs struct posix_acl not a void pointer. Basing checking
on the posix acl stored in the uapi format is really unreliable.
The vfs currently hacks around directly in the uapi struct storing
values that frankly the security and integrity modules can't
correctly interpret as evidenced by bugs we reported and fixed in
this area. It's not necessarily even their fault it's just that the
format we provide to them is sub optimal.
- Some filesystems like 9p and cifs need access to the dentry in
order to get and set posix acls which is why they either only
partially or not even at all implement get and set inode
operations. For example, cifs allows setxattr() and getxattr()
operations but doesn't allow permission checking based on posix
acls because it can't implement a get acl inode operation.
Thus, this patch series updates the set acl inode operation to take
a dentry instead of an inode argument. However, for the get acl
inode operation we can't do this as the old get acl method is
called in e.g., generic_permission() and inode_permission(). These
helpers in turn are called in various filesystem's permission inode
operation. So passing a dentry argument to the old get acl inode
operation would amount to passing a dentry to the permission inode
operation which we shouldn't and probably can't do.
So instead of extending the existing inode operation Christoph
suggested to add a new one. He also requested to ensure that the
get and set acl inode operation taking a dentry are consistently
named. So for this version the old get acl operation is renamed to
->get_inode_acl() and a new ->get_acl() inode operation taking a
dentry is added. With this we can give both 9p and cifs get and set
acl inode operations and in turn remove their complex custom posix
xattr handlers.
In the future I hope to get rid of the inode method duplication but
it isn't like we have never had this situation. Readdir is just one
example. And frankly, the overall gain in type safety and the more
pleasant api wise are simply too big of a benefit to not accept
this duplication for a while.
- We've done a full audit of every codepaths using variant of the
current generic xattr api to get and set posix acls and
surprisingly it isn't that many places. There's of course always a
chance that we might have missed some and if so I'm sure we'll find
them soon enough.
The crucial codepaths to be converted are obviously stacking
filesystems such as ecryptfs and overlayfs.
For a list of all callers currently using generic xattr api helpers
see [2] including comments whether they support posix acls or not.
- The old vfs generic posix acl infrastructure doesn't obey the
create and replace semantics promised on the setxattr(2) manpage.
This patch series doesn't address this. It really is something we
should revisit later though.
The patches are roughly organized as follows:
(1) Change existing set acl inode operation to take a dentry
argument (Intended to be a non-functional change)
(2) Rename existing get acl method (Intended to be a non-functional
change)
(3) Implement get and set acl inode operations for filesystems that
couldn't implement one before because of the missing dentry.
That's mostly 9p and cifs (Intended to be a non-functional
change)
(4) Build posix acl api, i.e., add vfs_get_acl(), vfs_remove_acl(),
and vfs_set_acl() including security and integrity hooks
(Intended to be a non-functional change)
(5) Implement get and set acl inode operations for stacking
filesystems (Intended to be a non-functional change)
(6) Switch posix acl handling in stacking filesystems to new posix
acl api now that all filesystems it can stack upon support it.
(7) Switch vfs to new posix acl api (semantical change)
(8) Remove all now unused helpers
(9) Additional regression fixes reported after we merged this into
linux-next

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.

The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic
xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to
interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to
userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to
understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of
making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are
building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode
operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths
easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1].
In order to build a type safe posix api around get and set acl we need
all filesystem to implement get and set acl.
So far 9p implemented a ->get_inode_acl() operation that didn't require
access to the dentry in order to allow (limited) permission checking via
posix acls in the vfs. Now that we have get and set acl inode operations
that take a dentry argument we can give 9p get and set acl inode
operations.
This is mostly a light refactoring of the codepaths currently used in 9p
posix acl xattr handler. After we have fully implemented the posix acl
api and switched the vfs over to it, the 9p specific posix acl xattr
handler and associated code will be removed.
Note, until the vfs has been switched to the new posix acl api this
patch is a non-functional change.

operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths
easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1].
The current inode operation for getting posix acls takes an inode
argument but various filesystems (e.g., 9p, cifs, overlayfs) need access
to the dentry. In contrast to the ->set_acl() inode operation we cannot
simply extend ->get_acl() to take a dentry argument. The ->get_acl()
inode operation is called from:
acl_permission_check()
-> check_acl()
-> get_acl()
which is part of generic_permission() which in turn is part of
inode_permission(). Both generic_permission() and inode_permission() are
called in the ->permission() handler of various filesystems (e.g.,
overlayfs). So simply passing a dentry argument to ->get_acl() would
amount to also having to pass a dentry argument to ->permission(). We
should avoid this unnecessary change.
So instead of extending the existing inode operation rename it from
->get_acl() to ->get_inode_acl() and add a ->get_acl() method later that
passes a dentry argument and which filesystems that need access to the
dentry can implement instead of ->get_inode_acl(). Filesystems like cifs
which allow setting and getting posix acls but not using them for
permission checking during lookup can simply not implement
->get_inode_acl().
This is intended to be a non-functional change.
