Merge tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.mmap_prepare' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull mmap_prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we introduce f_op->mmap_prepare() in c84bf6dd2b ("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 bb666b7c27 ("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

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.
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 https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250224010624.GT1977892@ZenIV/
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; 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. 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(). Replaces stores
to ->s_d_op at mount time. All in-tree filesystems converted; out-of-tree
ones will get caught by 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 ->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

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"

Instead of returning a dentry or ERR_PTR(-E...), return 0 and store
dentry into pipe->dentry on success and return -E... on failure.
Callers are happier that way...
NOTE: dummy rpc_pipe is getting ->dentry set; we never access that,
since we
1) never call rpc_unlink() for it (dentry is taken out by
->kill_sb())
2) never call rpc_queue_upcall() for it (writing to that
sucker fails; no downcalls are ever submitted, so no replies are
going to arrive)
IOW, having that ->dentry set (and left dangling) is harmless,
if ugly; cleaner solution will take more massage.

Allow the flexfiles error handling to recognise NFS level errors (as
opposed to RPC level errors) and handle them separately. The main
motivator is the NFSERR_PERM errors that get returned if the NFS client
connects to the data server through a port number that is lower than
1024. In that case, the client should disconnect and retry a READ on a
different data server, or it should retry a WRITE after reconnecting.

Instead of calling xchg() and unrcu_pointer() before
nfsd_file_put_local(), we now pass pointer to the __rcu pointer and call
xchg() and unrcu_pointer() inside that function.
Where unrcu_pointer() is currently called the internals of "struct
nfsd_file" are not known and that causes older compilers such as gcc-8
to complain.
In some cases we have a __kernel (aka normal) pointer not an __rcu
pointer so we need to cast it to __rcu first. This is strictly a
weakening so no information is lost. Somewhat surprisingly, this cast
is accepted by gcc-8.
This has the pleasing result that the cmpxchg() which sets ro_file and
rw_file, and also the xchg() which clears them, are both now in the nfsd
code.

The nfsd_localio_operations structure contains nfsd_file_get() to get a
reference to an nfsd_file. This is only used in one place, where
nfsd_open_local_fh() is also used.
This patch combines the two, calling nfsd_open_local_fh() passing a
pointer to where the nfsd_file pointer might be stored. If there is a
pointer there an nfsd_file_get() can get a reference, that reference is
returned. If not a new nfsd_file is acquired, stored at the pointer,
and returned. When we store a reference we also increase the refcount
on the net, as that refcount is decrements when we clear the stored
pointer.
We now get an extra reference *before* storing the new nfsd_file at the
given location. This avoids possible races with the nfsd_file being
freed before the final reference can be taken.
This patch moves the rcu_dereference() needed after fetching from
ro_file or rw_file into the nfsd code where the 'struct nfs_file' is
fully defined. This avoids an error reported by older versions of gcc
such as gcc-8 which complain about rcu_dereference() use in contexts
where the structure (which will supposedly be accessed) is not fully
defined.

Having separate nfsd_file_put and nfsd_file_put_local in struct
nfsd_localio_operations doesn't make much sense. The difference is that
nfsd_file_put doesn't drop a reference to the nfs_net which is what
keeps nfsd from shutting down.
Currently, if nfsd tries to shutdown it will invalidate the files stored
in the list from the nfs_uuid and this will drop all references to the
nfsd net that the client holds. But the client could still hold some
references to nfsd_files for active IO. So nfsd might think is has
completely shut down local IO, but hasn't and has no way to wait for
those active IO requests to complete.
So this patch changes nfsd_file_get to nfsd_file_get_local and has it
increase the ref count on the nfsd net and it replaces all calls to
->nfsd_put_file to ->nfsd_put_file_local.
It also changes ->nfsd_open_local_fh to return with the refcount on the
net elevated precisely when a valid nfsd_file is returned.
This means that whenever the client holds a valid nfsd_file, there will
be an associated count on the nfsd net, and so the count can only reach
zero when all nfsd_files have been returned.
nfs_local_file_put() is changed to call nfs_to_nfsd_file_put_local()
instead of replacing calls to one with calls to the other because this
will help a later patch which changes nfs_to_nfsd_file_put_local() to
take an __rcu pointer while nfs_local_file_put() doesn't.

Rather than using nfs_uuid.lock to protect installing
a new ro_file or rw_file, change to use cmpxchg().
Removing the file already uses xchg() so this improves symmetry
and also makes the code a little simpler.
Also remove the optimisation of not taking the lock, and not removing
the nfs_file_localio from the linked list, when both ->ro_file and
->rw_file are already NULL. Given that ->nfs_uuid was not NULL, it is
extremely unlikely that neither ->ro_file or ->rw_file is NULL so
this optimisation can be of little value and it complicates
understanding of the code - why can the list_del_init() be skipped?
Finally, move the assignment of NULL to ->nfs_uuid until after
the last action on the nfs_file_localio (the list_del_init). As soon as
this is NULL a racing nfs_close_local_fh() can bypass all the locking
and go on to free the nfs_file_localio, so we must be certain to be
finished with it first.

A recent commit introduced nfs4_do_mkdir() which reports an error from
nfs4_call_sync() by returning it with ERR_PTR().
This is a problem as nfs4_call_sync() can return negative NFS-specific
errors with values larger than MAX_ERRNO (4095). One example is
NFS4ERR_DELAY which has value 10008.
This "pointer" gets to PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() in nfs4_proc_mkdir() which
chooses ZERO because it isn't in the range of value errors. Ultimately
the pointer is dereferenced.
This patch changes nfs4_do_mkdir() to report the dentry pointer and
status separately - pointer as a return value, status in an "int *"
parameter.
The same separation is used for _nfs4_proc_mkdir() and the two are
combined only in nfs4_proc_mkdir() after the status has passed through
nfs4_handle_exception(), which ensures the error code does not exceed
MAX_ERRNO.
It also fixes a problem in the even when nfs4_handle_exception() updated
the error value, the original 'alias' was still returned.

In some scenarios, when mounting NFS, more than one superblock may be
created. The final superblock used is the last one created, but only the
first superblock carries the ro flag passed from user space. If a ro flag
is added to the superblock via remount, it will trigger the issue
described in Link[1].
Link[2] attempted to address this by marking the superblock as ro during
the initial mount. However, this introduced a new problem in scenarios
where multiple mount points share the same superblock:
[root@a ~]# mount /dev/sdb /mnt/sdb
[root@a ~]# echo "/mnt/sdb *(rw,no_root_squash)" > /etc/exports
[root@a ~]# echo "/mnt/sdb/test_dir2 *(ro,no_root_squash)" >> /etc/exports

When mounting the second NFS, the shared superblock is marked as ro,
causing the previous NFS mount to become read-only.
To resolve both issues, the ro flag is no longer applied to the superblock
during remount. Instead, the ro flag on the mount is used to control
whether the mount point is read-only.

As described in the link, commit 52cb7f8f17 ("nfs: ignore SB_RDONLY when
mounting nfs") removed the check for the ro flag when determining whether
to share the superblock, which caused issues when mounting different
subdirectories under the same export directory via NFSv3. However, this
change did not affect NFSv4.
For NFSv3:
1) A single superblock is created for the initial mount.
2) When mounted read-only, this superblock carries the SB_RDONLY flag.
3) Before commit 52cb7f8f17 ("nfs: ignore SB_RDONLY when mounting nfs"):
Subsequent rw mounts would not share the existing ro superblock due to
flag mismatch, creating a new superblock without SB_RDONLY.
After the commit:
The SB_RDONLY flag is ignored during superblock comparison, and this leads
to sharing the existing superblock even for rw mounts.
Ultimately results in write operations being rejected at the VFS layer.
For NFSv4:
1) Multiple superblocks are created and the last one will be kept.
2) The actually used superblock for ro mounts doesn't carry SB_RDONLY flag.
Therefore, commit 52cb7f8f17 doesn't affect NFSv4 mounts.
Clear SB_RDONLY before getting superblock when NFS_MOUNT_UNSHARED is not
set to fix it.

It was reported that NFS client mounts of AWS Elastic File System
(EFS) volumes is slow, this is because the AWS firewall disallows
LOCALIO (because it doesn't consider the use of NFS_LOCALIO_PROGRAM
valid), see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2335129
Switch to performing the LOCALIO probe asynchronously to address the
potential for the NFS LOCALIO protocol being disallowed and/or slowed
by the remote server's response.
While at it, fix nfs_local_probe_async() to always take/put a
reference on the nfs_client that is using the LOCALIO protocol.
Also, unexport the nfs_local_probe() symbol and make it private to
fs/nfs/localio.c
This change has the side-effect of initially issuing reads, writes and
commits over the wire via SUNRPC until the LOCALIO probe completes.

The NFS client's list of delegations can grow quite large (well beyond the
delegation watermark) if the server is revoking or there are repeated
events that expire state. Once this happens, the revoked delegations can
cause a performance problem for subsequent walks of the
servers->delegations list when the client tries to test and free state.
If we can determine that the FREE_STATEID operation has completed without
error, we can prune the delegation from the list.
Since the NFS client combines TEST_STATEID with FREE_STATEID in its minor
version operations, there isn't an easy way to communicate success of
FREE_STATEID. Rather than re-arrange quite a number of calling paths to
break out the separate procedures, let's signal the success of FREE_STATEID
by setting the stateid's type.
Set NFS4_FREED_STATEID_TYPE for stateids that have been successfully
discarded from the server, and use that type to signal that the delegation
can be cleaned up.

nfs_setattr will flush all pending writes before updating a file time
attributes. However when the client holds delegated timestamps, it can
update its timestamps locally as it is the authority for the file
times attributes. The client will later set the file attributes by
adding a setattr to the delegreturn compound updating the server time
attributes.
Fix nfs_setattr to avoid flushing pending writes when the file time
attributes are delegated and the mtime/atime are set to a fixed
timestamp (ATTR_[MODIFY|ACCESS]_SET. Also, when sending the setattr

Sometimes, when a file was read while it was being truncated by
another NFS client, the kernel could deadlock because folio_unlock()
was called twice, and the second call would XOR back the `PG_locked`
flag.
Most of the time (depending on the timing of the truncation), nobody
notices the problem because folio_unlock() gets called three times,
which flips `PG_locked` back off:
1. vfs_read, nfs_read_folio, ... nfs_read_add_folio,
nfs_return_empty_folio
2. vfs_read, nfs_read_folio, ... netfs_read_collection,
netfs_unlock_abandoned_read_pages
3. vfs_read, ... nfs_do_read_folio, nfs_read_add_folio,
nfs_return_empty_folio
The problem is that nfs_read_add_folio() is not supposed to unlock the
folio if fscache is enabled, and a nfs_netfs_folio_unlock() check is
missing in nfs_return_empty_folio().
Rarely this leads to a warning in netfs_read_collection():

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

- Update main netfs API document
- Remove useless plus one in super_cache_scan()

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"

On cifs, "DIO reads" (specified by O_DIRECT) need to be differentiated from
"unbuffered reads" (specified by cache=none in the mount parameters). The
difference is flagged in the protocol and the server may behave
differently: Windows Server will, for example, mandate that DIO reads are
block aligned.
Fix this by adding a NETFS_UNBUFFERED_READ to differentiate this from
NETFS_DIO_READ, parallelling the write differentiation that already exists.
cifs will then do the right thing.

The Linux client assumes that all filehandles are non-volatile for
renames within the same directory (otherwise sillyrename cannot work).
However, the existence of the Linux 'subtree_check' export option has
meant that nfs_rename() has always assumed it needs to flush writes
before attempting to rename.
Since NFSv4 does allow the client to query whether or not the server
exhibits this behaviour, and since knfsd does actually set the
appropriate flag when 'subtree_check' is enabled on an export, it
should be OK to optimise away the write flushing behaviour in the cases
where it is clearly not needed.

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...
