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"

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
- Typo fixes and documentation updates as usual"

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"

Pull vfs inode updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Hide inode->i_state behind accessors. Open-coded accesses prevent
asserting they are done correctly. One obvious aspect is locking,
but significantly more can be checked. For example it can be
detected when the code is clearing flags which are already missing,
or is setting flags when it is illegal (e.g., I_FREEING when
->i_count > 0)
- Provide accessors for ->i_state, converts all filesystems using
coccinelle and manual conversions (btrfs, ceph, smb, f2fs, gfs2,
overlayfs, nilfs2, xfs), and makes plain ->i_state access fail to
compile
- Rework I_NEW handling to operate without fences, simplifying the
code after the accessor infrastructure is in place
Cleanups:
- Move wait_on_inode() from writeback.h to fs.h
- Spell out fenced ->i_state accesses with explicit smp_wmb/smp_rmb
for clarity
- Cosmetic fixes to LRU handling
- Push list presence check into inode_io_list_del()
- Touch up predicts in __d_lookup_rcu()
- ocfs2: retire ocfs2_drop_inode() and I_WILL_FREE usage
- Assert on ->i_count in iput_final()
- Assert ->i_lock held in __iget()

Pull iomap updates from Christian Brauner:
"FUSE iomap Support for Buffered Reads:
This adds iomap support for FUSE buffered reads and readahead. This
enables granular uptodate tracking with large folios so only
non-uptodate portions need to be read. Also fixes a race condition
with large folios + writeback cache that could cause data corruption
on partial writes followed by reads.
- Refactored iomap read/readahead bio logic into helpers
- Added caller-provided callbacks for read operations
- Moved buffered IO bio logic into new file
- FUSE now uses iomap for read_folio and readahead
Zero Range Folio Batch Support:
Add folio batch support for iomap_zero_range() to handle dirty
folios over unwritten mappings. Fix raciness issues where dirty data
could be lost during zero range operations.
- filemap_get_folios_tag_range() helper for dirty folio lookup
- Optional zero range dirty folio processing
- XFS fills dirty folios on zero range of unwritten mappings
- Removed old partial EOF zeroing optimization
DIO Write Completions from Interrupt Context:
Restore pre-iomap behavior where pure overwrite completions run
inline rather than being deferred to workqueue. Reduces context
switches for high-performance workloads like ScyllaDB.
- Removed unused IOCB_DIO_CALLER_COMP code
- Error completions always run in user context (fixes zonefs)
- Reworked REQ_FUA selection logic
- Inverted IOMAP_DIO_INLINE_COMP to IOMAP_DIO_OFFLOAD_COMP
Buffered IO Cleanups:
Some performance and code clarity improvements:
- Replace manual bitmap scanning with find_next_bit()
- Simplify read skip logic for writes
- Optimize pending async writeback accounting
- Better variable naming
- Documentation for iomap_finish_folio_write() requirements
Misaligned Vectors for Zoned XFS:
Enables sub-block aligned vectors in XFS always-COW mode for zoned
devices via new IOMAP_DIO_FSBLOCK_ALIGNED flag.
Bug Fixes:
- Allocate s_dio_done_wq for async reads (fixes syzbot report after
error completion changes)
- Fix iomap_read_end() for already uptodate folios (regression fix)"

The "shareable_bits" and "bit_usage" resctrl files associated with cache
resources give insight into how instances of a cache is used.
Update the annotated capacity bitmasks displayed by "bit_usage" to include the
cache portions allocated for I/O via the "io_alloc" feature. "shareable_bits"
is a global bitmask of shareable cache with I/O and can thus not present the
per-domain I/O allocations possible with the "io_alloc" feature. Revise the
"shareable_bits" documentation to direct users to "bit_usage" for accurate
cache usage information.

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
also L2 cache (if it supports cache allocation). As a consequence, add
capability for file to report expected "enabled" and "disabled", as well as
"not supported".

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.

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.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4
Pull ext4 bug fixes from Ted Ts'o:
- Fix regression caused by removing CONFIG_EXT3_FS when testing some
very old defconfigs
- Avoid a BUG_ON when opening a file on a maliciously corrupted file
system
- Avoid mm warnings when freeing a very large orphan file metadata
- Avoid a theoretical races between metadata writeback and checkpoints
(it's very hard to hit in practice, since the race requires that the
writeback take a very long time)
* tag 'ext4_for_linus-6.18-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4:
Use CONFIG_EXT4_FS instead of CONFIG_EXT3_FS in all of the defconfigs
ext4: free orphan info with kvfree
ext4: detect invalid INLINE_DATA + EXTENTS flag combination
ext4, doc: fix and improve directory hash tree description
ext4: wait for ongoing I/O to complete before freeing blocks
jbd2: ensure that all ongoing I/O complete before freeing blocks
|
|
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
- fix condition in __allow_reserved_blocks()"

- Target lockdep assertions (Max)
- Keep-alive updates for discovery (Alastair)

- MD pull request via Yu:
- 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
includes a set of changes to the rust block device driver API: a few
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.
- floppy arch cleanups
- Reduce the number of dereferencing needed for ublk commands
- Restrict supported sockets for nbd. Mostly done to eliminate a class
of issues perpetually reported by syzbot, by using nonsensical socket
setups.

- Fix a few issues around atomic writes
- Improve DMA interation for integrity requests
- Improve how iovecs are treated with regards to O_DIRECT aligment
constraints.

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains some work around mount api handling:
- Output the warning message for mnt_too_revealing() triggered during
fsmount() to the fscontext log. This makes it possible for the
mount tool to output appropriate warnings on the command line.
For example, with the newest fsopen()-based mount(8) from
util-linux, the error messages now look like:
# mount -t proc proc /tmp
mount: /tmp: fsmount() failed: VFS: Mount too revealing.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
- Do not consume fscontext log entries when returning -EMSGSIZE
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.
Given that it is very cheap for us to check whether the buffer is
too small before we remove the message from the ring buffer, let's
just do that instead.
- Drop an unused argument from do_remount()"

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.
Example output with invalid counters:
