Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls
after lengthy discussions.
Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to
the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have
started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that
makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related
operations.
These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on
special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects.
XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new
inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent
directory.
The project is created from userspace by opening and calling
FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special
files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left
with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota
accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but
in the case when special files are created in the directory with
already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended
attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without
attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a
possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn,
prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing
files.
In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of
additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the
legacy ioctls anymore"

"This contains overlayfs updates for this cycle.
The changes for overlayfs in here are primarily focussed on preparing
for some proposed changes to directory locking.
Overlayfs currently will sometimes lock a directory on the upper
filesystem and do a few different things while holding the lock. This
is incompatible with the new potential scheme.
This series narrows the region of code protected by the directory
lock, taking it multiple times when necessary. This theoretically
opens up the possibilty of other changes happening on the upper
filesytem between the unlock and the lock. To some extent the patches
guard against that by checking the dentries still have the expect
parent after retaking the lock. In general, concurrent changes to the
upper and lower filesystems aren't supported properly anyway"

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
evict_inodes()
- filelock: add new locks_wake_up_waiter() helper
- fs: Remove three arguments from block_write_end()
- VFS: change old_dir and new_dir in struct renamedata to dentrys

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
the dentry becomes visible in any shared data structures.

ovl currently locks a directory or two and then performs multiple actions
in one or both directories. This is incompatible with proposed changes
which will lock just the dentry of objects being acted on.
This patch moves calls to ovl_create_temp() out of the locked regions and
has it take and release the relevant lock itself.
The lock that was taken before this function was called is now taken
after. This means that any code between where the lock was taken and
ovl_create_temp() is now unlocked. This necessitates the use of
ovl_cleanup_unlocked() and the creation of ovl_lookup_upper_unlocked().
These will be used more widely in future patches.
Now that the file is created before the lock is taken for rename, we

ovl_copy_up_workdir() currently take a rename lock on two directories,
then use the lock to both create a file in one directory, perform a
rename, and possibly unlink the file for cleanup. This is incompatible
with proposed changes which will lock just the dentry of objects being
acted on.
This patch moves the call to ovl_create_index() earlier in
ovl_copy_up_workdir() to before the lock is taken.
ovl_create_index() then takes the required lock only when needed.

If ovl_copy_up_data() fails the error is not immediately handled but the
code continues on to call ovl_start_write() and lock_rename(),
presumably because both of these locks are needed for the cleanup.
Only then (if the lock was successful) is the error checked.
This makes the code a little hard to follow and could be fragile.
This patch changes to handle the error after the ovl_start_write()
(which cannot fail, so there aren't multiple errors to deail with). A
new ovl_cleanup_unlocked() is created which takes the required directory
lock. This will be used extensively in later patches.
In general we need to check the parent is still correct after taking the
lock (as ovl_copy_up_workdir() does after a successful lock_rename()) so
that is included in ovl_cleanup_unlocked() using new ovl_parent_lock()
and ovl_parent_unlock() calls (it is planned to move this API into VFS code
eventually, though in a slightly different form).

Case folding is often applied to subtrees and not on an entire
filesystem.
Disallowing layers from filesystems that support case folding is over
limiting.
Replace the rule that case-folding capable are not allowed as layers
with a rule that case folded directories are not allowed in a merged
directory stack.
Should case folding be enabled on an underlying directory while
overlayfs is mounted the outcome is generally undefined.
Specifically in ovl_lookup(), we check the base underlying directory
and fail with -ESTALE and write a warning to kmsg if an underlying
directory case folding is enabled.

all users of 'struct renamedata' have the dentry for the old and new
directories, and often have no use for the inode except to store it in
the renamedata.
This patch changes struct renamedata to hold the dentry, rather than
the inode, for the old and new directories, and changes callers to
match. The names are also changed from a _dir suffix to _parent. This
is consistent with other usage in namei.c and elsewhere.
This results in the removal of several local variables and several
dereferences of ->d_inode at the cost of adding ->d_inode dereferences
to vfs_rename().

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()

"This contains cleanups for the lookup_one*() family of helpers.
We expose a set of functions with names containing "lookup_one_len"

"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"

This allows the "verity" mount option to be used with "userxattr" data-only
layer(s).
Also it allows dropping the "metacopy=on" option when the "datadir+" option
is to be used. This cleanly separates the two features that have been
lumped together under "metacopy=on":
- data-redirect: data access is redirected to the data-only layer
- meta-copy: copy up metadata only if possible
Previous patches made sure that with "userxattr" metacopy only works in the
lower -> data scenario.
In this scenario the lower (metadata) layer must be secured against
tampering, in which case the verity checksums contained in this layer can
ensure integrity of data even in the case of an untrusted data layer.

Allow the special case of a redirect from a lower layer to a data layer
without having to turn on metacopy. This makes the feature work with
userxattr, which in turn allows data layers to be usable in user
namespaces.
Minimize the risk by only enabling redirect from a single lower layer to a
data layer iff a data layer is specified. The only way to access a data
layer is to enable this, so there's really no reason not to enable this.
This can be used safely if the lower layer is read-only and the
user.overlay.redirect xattr cannot be modified.

When overlayfs finds a file with metacopy and/or redirect attributes and
the metacopy and/or redirect features are not enabled, then it refuses to
act on those attributes while also issuing a warning.
There was an inconsistency in not checking metacopy found from the index.
And also only warning on an upper metacopy if it found the next file on the
lower layer, while always warning for metacopy found on a lower layer.
Fix these inconsistencies and make the logic more straightforward, paving

When the lowerdir of an overlayfs is a merged directory of another
overlayfs, ovl_open_realfile() will fail to open the real file and point
to a lower dentry copy, without the proper parent path. After this,
d_path() will then display the path incorrectly as if the file is placed
in the root directory.
This bug can be triggered with the following setup:
mkdir -p ovl-A/lower ovl-A/upper ovl-A/merge ovl-A/work
mkdir -p ovl-B/upper ovl-B/merge ovl-B/work
cp /bin/cat ovl-A/lower/
mount -t overlay overlay -o \
lowerdir=ovl-A/lower,upperdir=ovl-A/upper,workdir=ovl-A/work \
ovl-A/merge
mount -t overlay overlay -o \
lowerdir=ovl-A/merge,upperdir=ovl-B/upper,workdir=ovl-B/work \
ovl-B/merge
ovl-A/merge/cat /proc/self/maps | grep --color cat
ovl-B/merge/cat /proc/self/maps | grep --color cat
The first cat will correctly show `/ovl-A/merge/cat`, while the second
one shows just `/cat`.
To fix that, uses file_user_path() inside of backing_file_open() to get
the correct file path for the dentry.

The lookup_one_len family of functions is (now) only used internally by
a filesystem on itself either
- in a context where permission checking is irrelevant such as by a
virtual filesystem populating itself, or xfs accessing its ORPHANAGE
or dquota accessing the quota file; or
- in a context where a permission check (MAY_EXEC on the parent) has just
been performed such as a network filesystem finding in "silly-rename"
file in the same directory. This is also the context after the
_parentat() functions where currently lookup_one_qstr_excl() is used.
So the permission check is pointless.
The name "one_len" is unhelpful in understanding the purpose of these
functions and should be changed. Most of the callers pass the len as
"strlen()" so using a qstr and QSTR() can simplify the code.
This patch renames these functions (include lookup_positive_unlocked()
which is part of the family despite the name) to have a name based on
"lookup_noperm". They are changed to receive a 'struct qstr' instead
of separate name and len. In a few cases the use of QSTR() results in a
new call to strlen().
try_lookup_noperm() takes a pointer to a qstr instead of the whole
qstr. This is consistent with d_hash_and_lookup() (which is nearly
identical) and useful for lookup_noperm_unlocked().
The new lookup_noperm_common() doesn't take a qstr yet. That will be
tidied up in a subsequent patch.
