Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Support 'MITIGATION_{RETHUNK,RETPOLINE,SLS}' (which cleans up
objtool warnings), teach objtool about 'noreturn' Rust symbols and
mimic '___ADDRESSABLE()' for 'module_{init,exit}'. With that, we
should be objtool-warning-free, so enable it to run for all Rust
object files.
- KASAN (no 'SW_TAGS'), KCFI and shadow call sanitizer support.
- Support 'RUSTC_VERSION', including re-config and re-build on
change.
- Split helpers file into several files in a folder, to avoid
conflicts in it. Eventually those files will be moved to the right
places with the new build system. In addition, remove the need to
manually export the symbols defined there, reusing existing
machinery for that.
- Relax restriction on configurations with Rust + GCC plugins to just
the RANDSTRUCT plugin.
'kernel' crate:
- New 'list' module: doubly-linked linked list for use with reference
counted values, which is heavily used by the upcoming Rust Binder.
This includes 'ListArc' (a wrapper around 'Arc' that is guaranteed
unique for the given ID), 'AtomicTracker' (tracks whether a
'ListArc' exists using an atomic), 'ListLinks' (the prev/next
pointers for an item in a linked list), 'List' (the linked list
itself), 'Iter' (an iterator over a 'List'), 'Cursor' (a cursor
into a 'List' that allows to remove elements), 'ListArcField' (a
field exclusively owned by a 'ListArc'), as well as support for
heterogeneous lists.
- New 'rbtree' module: red-black tree abstractions used by the
upcoming Rust Binder.
This includes 'RBTree' (the red-black tree itself), 'RBTreeNode' (a
node), 'RBTreeNodeReservation' (a memory reservation for a node),
'Iter' and 'IterMut' (immutable and mutable iterators), 'Cursor'
(bidirectional cursor that allows to remove elements), as well as
an entry API similar to the Rust standard library one.
- 'init' module: add 'write_[pin_]init' methods and the
'InPlaceWrite' trait. Add the 'assert_pinned!' macro.
- 'sync' module: implement the 'InPlaceInit' trait for 'Arc' by
introducing an associated type in the trait.
- 'alloc' module: add 'drop_contents' method to 'BoxExt'.
- 'types' module: implement the 'ForeignOwnable' trait for
'Pin<Box<T>>' and improve the trait's documentation. In addition,
add the 'into_raw' method to the 'ARef' type.
- 'error' module: in preparation for the upcoming Rust support for
32-bit architectures, like arm, locally allow Clippy lint for
those.
Documentation:
- https://rust.docs.kernel.org has been announced, so link to it.
- Enable rustdoc's "jump to definition" feature, making its output a
bit closer to the experience in a cross-referencer.
- Debian Testing now also provides recent Rust releases (outside of
the freeze period), so add it to the list.
MAINTAINERS:
- Trevor is joining as reviewer of the "RUST" entry.

Pull vfs blocksize updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the vfs infrastructure as well as the xfs bits to enable
support for block sizes (bs) larger than page sizes (ps) plus a few
fixes to related infrastructure.
There has been efforts over the last 16 years to enable enable Large
Block Sizes (LBS), that is block sizes in filesystems where bs > page
size. Through these efforts we have learned that one of the main
blockers to supporting bs > ps in filesystems has been a way to
allocate pages that are at least the filesystem block size on the page
cache where bs > ps.
Thanks to various previous efforts it is possible to support bs > ps
in XFS with only a few changes in XFS itself. Most changes are to the
page cache to support minimum order folio support for the target block
size on the filesystem.
A motivation for Large Block Sizes today is to support high-capacity
(large amount of Terabytes) QLC SSDs where the internal Indirection
Unit (IU) are typically greater than 4k to help reduce DRAM and so in
turn cost and space. In practice this then allows different
architectures to use a base page size of 4k while still enabling
support for block sizes aligned to the larger IUs by relying on high
order folios on the page cache when needed.
It also allows to take advantage of the drive's support for atomics
larger than 4k with buffered IO support in Linux. As described this
year at LSFMM, supporting large atomics greater than 4k enables
databases to remove the need to rely on their own journaling, so they
can disable double buffered writes, which is a feature different cloud
providers are already enabling through custom storage solutions"

The remap_file_pages syscall handler calls do_mmap() directly, which
doesn't contain the LSM security check. And if the process has called
personality(READ_IMPLIES_EXEC) before and remap_file_pages() is called for
RW pages, this will actually result in remapping the pages to RWX,
bypassing a W^X policy enforced by SELinux.
So we should check prot by security_mmap_file LSM hook in the
remap_file_pages syscall handler before do_mmap() is called. Otherwise, it
potentially permits an attacker to bypass a W^X policy enforced by
SELinux.
The bypass is similar to CVE-2016-10044, which bypass the same thing via
AIO and can be found in [1].
The PoC:
$ cat > test.c
int main(void) {
size_t pagesz = sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE);
int mfd = syscall(SYS_memfd_create, "test", 0);
const char *buf = mmap(NULL, 4 * pagesz, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED, mfd, 0);
unsigned int old = syscall(SYS_personality, 0xffffffff);
syscall(SYS_personality, READ_IMPLIES_EXEC | old);
syscall(SYS_remap_file_pages, buf, pagesz, 0, 2, 0);
syscall(SYS_personality, old);
// show the RWX page exists even if W^X policy is enforced
int fd = open("/proc/self/maps", O_RDONLY);
unsigned char buf2[1024];
while (1) {
int ret = read(fd, buf2, 1024);
if (ret <= 0) break;
write(1, buf2, ret);
}
close(fd);

kmem_cache_create() where most of them are needed only for a small
number of caches - most recently the rcu_freeptr_offset parameter.
To avoid adding new parameters to kmem_cache_create() and adjusting
all its callers, or creating new wrappers such as
kmem_cache_create_rcu(), we can now pass extra parameters using the
new struct kmem_cache_args. Not explicitly initialized fields
default to values interpreted as unused.
kmem_cache_create() is for now a wrapper that works both with the
new form: kmem_cache_create(name, object_size, args, flags) and the
legacy form: kmem_cache_create(name, object_size, align, flags,
ctor)
- kmem_cache_destroy() waits for kfree_rcu()'s in flight (Vlastimil
Babka, Uladislau Rezki)
Since SLOB removal, kfree() is allowed for freeing objects
allocated by kmem_cache_create(). By extension kfree_rcu() as
allowed as well, which can allow converting simple call_rcu()
callbacks that only do kmem_cache_free(), as there was never a
kmem_cache_free_rcu() variant. However, for caches that can be
destroyed e.g. on module removal, the cache owners knew to issue
rcu_barrier() first to wait for the pending call_rcu()'s, and this
is not sufficient for pending kfree_rcu()'s due to its internal
batching optimizations. Ulad has provided a new
kvfree_rcu_barrier() and to make the usage less error-prone,
kmem_cache_destroy() calls it. Additionally, destroying
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches now again issues rcu_barrier()
synchronously instead of using an async work, because the past
motivation for async work no longer applies. Users of custom
call_rcu() callbacks should however keep calling rcu_barrier()
before cache destruction.
- Debugging use-after-free in SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches (Jann Horn)
Currently, KASAN cannot catch UAFs in such caches as it is legal to
access them within a grace period, and we only track the grace
period when trying to free the underlying slab page. The new
CONFIG_SLUB_RCU_DEBUG option changes the freeing of individual
object to be RCU-delayed, after which KASAN can poison them.
- Delayed memcg charging (Shakeel Butt)
In some cases, the memcg is uknown at allocation time, such as
receiving network packets in softirq context. With
kmem_cache_charge() these may be now charged later when the user
and its memcg is known.
- Misc fixes and improvements (Pedro Falcato, Axel Rasmussen,
Christoph Lameter, Yan Zhen, Peng Fan, Xavier)"

Currently, we have mTHP features, but unfortunately, without support for
large folio swap-ins, once these large folios are swapped out, they are
lost because mTHP swap is a one-way process. The lack of mTHP swap-in
functionality prevents mTHP from being used on devices like Android that
heavily rely on swap.
This patch introduces mTHP swap-in support. It starts from sync devices
such as zRAM. This is probably the simplest and most common use case,
benefiting billions of Android phones and similar devices with minimal
implementation cost. In this straightforward scenario, large folios are
always exclusive, eliminating the need to handle complex rmap and
swapcache issues.
It offers several benefits:
1. Enables bidirectional mTHP swapping, allowing retrieval of mTHP after
swap-out and swap-in. Large folios in the buddy system are also
preserved as much as possible, rather than being fragmented due
to swap-in.
2. Eliminates fragmentation in swap slots and supports successful
THP_SWPOUT.

3. With both mTHP swap-out and swap-in supported, we offer the option to enable
zsmalloc compression/decompression with larger granularity[2]. The upcoming
optimization in zsmalloc will significantly increase swap speed and improve
compression efficiency. Tested by running 100 iterations of swapping 100MiB
of anon memory, the swap speed improved dramatically:
time consumption of swapin(ms) time consumption of swapout(ms)
lz4 4k 45274 90540
lz4 64k 22942 55667
zstdn 4k 85035 186585
zstdn 64k 46558 118533
The compression ratio also improved, as evaluated with 1 GiB of data:
granularity orig_data_size compr_data_size
4KiB-zstd 1048576000 246876055
64KiB-zstd 1048576000 199763892
Without mTHP swap-in, the potential optimizations in zsmalloc cannot be
realized.
4. Even mTHP swap-in itself can reduce swap-in page faults by a factor
of nr_pages. Swapping in content filled with the same data 0x11, w/o
and w/ the patch for five rounds (Since the content is the same,
decompression will be very fast. This primarily assesses the impact of
reduced page faults):
swp in bandwidth(bytes/ms) w/o w/
round1 624152 1127501
round2 631672 1127501
round3 620459 1139756
round4 606113 1139756
round5 624152 1152281
avg 621310 1137359 +83%
5. With both mTHP swap-out and swap-in supported, we offer the option to enable
hardware accelerators(Intel IAA) to do parallel decompression with which
Kanchana reported 7X improvement on zRAM read latency[3].

Patch series "mm: enable large folios swap-in support", v9.
Currently, we support mTHP swapout but not swapin. This means that once
mTHP is swapped out, it will come back as small folios when swapped in.
This is particularly detrimental for devices like Android, where more than
half of the memory is in swap.
The lack of mTHP swapin functionality makes mTHP a showstopper in
scenarios that heavily rely on swap. This patchset introduces mTHP
swap-in support. It starts with synchronous devices similar to zRAM,
aiming to benefit as many users as possible with minimal changes.
This patch (of 3):
There could be a corner case where the first entry is non-zeromap, but a
subsequent entry is zeromap. In this case, we should not let
swap_read_folio_zeromap() return false since we will still read corrupted
data.
Additionally, the iteration of test_bit() is unnecessary and can be
replaced with bitmap operations, which are more efficient.
We can adopt the style of swap_pte_batch() and folio_pte_batch() to
introduce swap_zeromap_batch() which seems to provide the greatest
flexibility for the caller. This approach allows the caller to either
check if the zeromap status of all entries is consistent or determine the
number of contiguous entries with the same status.
Since swap_read_folio() can't handle reading a large folio that's
partially zeromap and partially non-zeromap, we've moved the code to
mm/swap.h so that others, like those working on swap-in, can access it.

This replaces all the existing READ_ONCE() based page table accesses with
respective pxdp_get() helpers. Although these helpers might also fallback
to READ_ONCE() as default, but they do provide an opportunity for various
platforms to override when required. This change is a step in direction to
replace all page table entry accesses with respective pxdp_get() helpers.

__split_vma() and mas_store_gfp() returns several types of errno on
failure so don't ignore them in vms_gather_munmap_vmas(). For example,
__split_vma() returns -EINVAL when an unaligned huge page is unmapped.
This issue is reproduced by ltp memfd_create03 test.
Don't initialise the error variable and assign it when a failure actually

One more CoW path to support poison recorvery in do_cow_fault(), and the

The z3fold compressed pages allocator is rarely used, most users use
zsmalloc. The only disadvantage of zsmalloc in comparison is the
dependency on MMU, and zbud is a more common option for !MMU as it was the
default zswap allocator for a long time.
Historically, zsmalloc had worse latency than zbud and z3fold but offered
better memory savings. This is no longer the case as shown by a simple
recent analysis [1]. That analysis showed that z3fold does not have any
advantage over zsmalloc or zbud considering both performance and memory
usage. In a kernel build test on tmpfs in a limited cgroup, z3fold took
3% more time and used 1.8% more memory. The latency of zswap_load() was
7% higher, and that of zswap_store() was 10% higher. Zsmalloc is better
in all metrics.
Moreover, z3fold apparently has latent bugs, which was made noticeable by
a recent soft lockup bug report with z3fold [2]. Switching to zsmalloc
not only fixed the problem, but also reduced the swap usage from 6~8G to
1~2G. Other users have also reported being bitten by mistakenly enabling
z3fold.
Other than hurting users, z3fold is repeatedly causing wasted engineering
effort. Apart from investigating the above bug, it came up in multiple
development discussions (e.g. [3]) as something we need to handle, when
there aren't any legit users (at least not intentionally).
The natural course of action is to deprecate z3fold, and remove in a few
cycles if no objections are raised from active users. Next on the list
should be zbud, as it offers marginal latency gains at the cost of huge
memory waste when compared to zsmalloc. That one will need to wait until
zsmalloc does not depend on MMU.
Rename the user-visible config option from CONFIG_Z3FOLD to
CONFIG_Z3FOLD_DEPRECATED so that users with CONFIG_Z3FOLD=y get a new
prompt with explanation during make oldconfig. Also, remove
CONFIG_Z3FOLD=y from defconfigs.

Introduce a pair of APIs to follow pfn mappings to get entry information.
It's very similar to what follow_pte() does before, but different in that
it recognizes huge pfn mappings.

Teach the fork code to properly copy pfnmaps for pmd/pud levels. Pud is
much easier, the write bit needs to be persisted though for writable and
shared pud mappings like PFNMAP ones, otherwise a follow up write in
either parent or child process will trigger a write fault.
Do the same for pmd level.

It constantly returns false since 2017. One assertion is added in 2019 but
it should never have triggered, IOW it means what is checked should be
asserted instead.
If it didn't exist for 7 years maybe it's good idea to remove it and only
add it when it comes.

Patch series "mm: Support huge pfnmaps", v2.
Overview
========
This series implements huge pfnmaps support for mm in general. Huge
pfnmap allows e.g. VM_PFNMAP vmas to map in either PMD or PUD levels,
similar to what we do with dax / thp / hugetlb so far to benefit from TLB
hits. Now we extend that idea to PFN mappings, e.g. PCI MMIO bars where
it can grow as large as 8GB or even bigger.
Currently, only x86_64 (1G+2M) and arm64 (2M) are supported. The last
patch (from Alex Williamson) will be the first user of huge pfnmap, so as
to enable vfio-pci driver to fault in huge pfn mappings.
Implementation
==============
In reality, it's relatively simple to add such support comparing to many
other types of mappings, because of PFNMAP's specialties when there's no
vmemmap backing it, so that most of the kernel routines on huge mappings
should simply already fail for them, like GUPs or old-school follow_page()
(which is recently rewritten to be folio_walk* APIs by David).
One trick here is that we're still unmature on PUDs in generic paths here
and there, as DAX is so far the only user. This patchset will add the 2nd
user of it. Hugetlb can be a 3rd user if the hugetlb unification work can
go on smoothly, but to be discussed later.
The other trick is how to allow gup-fast working for such huge mappings
even if there's no direct sign of knowing whether it's a normal page or
MMIO mapping. This series chose to keep the pte_special solution, so that
it reuses similar idea on setting a special bit to pfnmap PMDs/PUDs so
that gup-fast will be able to identify them and fail properly.
Along the way, we'll also notice that the major pgtable pfn walker, aka,
follow_pte(), will need to retire soon due to the fact that it only works
with ptes. A new set of simple API is introduced (follow_pfnmap* API) to
be able to do whatever follow_pte() can already do, plus that it can also
process huge pfnmaps now. Half of this series is about that and
converting all existing pfnmap walkers to use the new API properly.
Hopefully the new API also looks better to avoid exposing e.g. pgtable
lock details into the callers, so that it can be used in an even more
straightforward way.
Here, three more options will be introduced and involved in huge pfnmap:
- ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGE_PFNMAP
Arch developers will need to select this option when huge pfnmap is
supported in arch's Kconfig. After this patchset applied, both x86_64
and arm64 will start to enable it by default.
- ARCH_SUPPORTS_PMD_PFNMAP / ARCH_SUPPORTS_PUD_PFNMAP
These options are for driver developers to identify whether current
arch / config supports huge pfnmaps, making decision on whether it can
use the huge pfnmap APIs to inject them. One can refer to the last
vfio-pci patch from Alex on the use of them properly in a device
driver.
So after the whole set applied, and if one would enable some dynamic debug
lines in vfio-pci core files, we should observe things like:
vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x0: 0x100
vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x200: 0x100
vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x400: 0x100
In this specific case, it says that vfio-pci faults in PMDs properly for a
few BAR0 offsets.
Patch Layout
============
Patch 1: Introduce the new options mentioned above for huge PFNMAPs
Patch 2: A tiny cleanup
Patch 3-8: Preparation patches for huge pfnmap (include introduce
special bit for pmd/pud)
Patch 9-16: Introduce follow_pfnmap*() API, use it everywhere, and
then drop follow_pte() API
Patch 17: Add huge pfnmap support for x86_64
Patch 18: Add huge pfnmap support for arm64
Patch 19: Add vfio-pci support for all kinds of huge pfnmaps (Alex)
TODO
====
More architectures / More page sizes
------------------------------------
Currently only x86_64 (2M+1G) and arm64 (2M) are supported. There seems
to have plan to support arm64 1G later on top of this series [2].
Any arch will need to first support THP / THP_1G, then provide a special
bit in pmds/puds to support huge pfnmaps.
remap_pfn_range() support
-------------------------
Currently, remap_pfn_range() still only maps PTEs. With the new option,
remap_pfn_range() can logically start to inject either PMDs or PUDs when
the alignment requirements match on the VAs.
When the support is there, it should be able to silently benefit all
drivers that is using remap_pfn_range() in its mmap() handler on better
TLB hit rate and overall faster MMIO accesses similar to processor on
hugepages.
More driver support
-------------------
VFIO is so far the only consumer for the huge pfnmaps after this series
applied. Besides above remap_pfn_range() generic optimization, device
driver can also try to optimize its mmap() on a better VA alignment for
either PMD/PUD sizes. This may, iiuc, normally require userspace changes,
as the driver doesn't normally decide the VA to map a bar. But I don't
think I know all the drivers to know the full picture.
Credits all go to Alex on help testing the GPU/NIC use cases above.

This patch (of 19):
This patch introduces the option to introduce special pte bit into
pmd/puds. Archs can start to define pmd_special / pud_special when
supported by selecting the new option. Per-arch support will be added
later.
Before that, create fallbacks for these helpers so that they are always
available.

In commit 96cfe2c0fd23 ("mm/madvise: replace ptrace attach requirement for
process_madvise") process_madvise() was updated to require the caller to
possess the CAP_SYS_NICE capability to perform the operation, in addition
to a check against PTRACE_MODE_READ performed by mm_access().
The mm_access() function explicitly checks to see if the address space of
the process being referenced is the current one, in which case no check is
performed.
We, however, do not do this when checking the CAP_SYS_NICE capability. This
means that we insist on the caller possessing this capability in order to
perform madvise() operations on its own address space, which seems
nonsensical.
Simply add a check to allow for an invocation of this function with pidfd
set to the current process without elevation.

Syzbot reports a UAF in hugetlb_fault(). This happens because
vmf_anon_prepare() could drop the per-VMA lock and allow the current VMA
to be freed before hugetlb_vma_unlock_read() is called.
We can fix this by using a modified version of vmf_anon_prepare() that

Some callers of vmf_anon_prepare() may not want us to release the per-VMA
lock ourselves. Rename vmf_anon_prepare() to __vmf_anon_prepare() and let
the callers drop the lock when desired.
Also, make vmf_anon_prepare() a wrapper that releases the per-VMA lock
itself for any callers that don't care.
This is in preparation to fix this bug reported by syzbot:

Each zsmalloc pool maintains several named kmem-caches for zs_handle-s and
zspage-s. On a system with multiple zsmalloc pools and CONFIG_DEBUG_VM
this triggers kmem_cache_sanity_check():
kmem_cache of name 'zspage' already exists
WARNING: at mm/slab_common.c:108 do_kmem_cache_create_usercopy+0xb5/0x310

We provide zram device name when init its zsmalloc pool, so we can use
that same name for zsmalloc caches and, hence, create unique names that
can easily be linked to zram device that has created them.
So instead of having this

zspage 34270 34270 ...

Adds a smoke test to ensure that KASAN in Rust is actually detecting a
Rust-native UAF. There is significant room to expand this test suite,
but this will at least ensure that flags are having the intended effect.
The rename from kasan_test.c to kasan_test_c.c is in order to allow the
single kasan_test.ko test suite to contain both a .o file produced
by the C compiler and one produced by rustc.

Pull io_uring async discard support from Jens Axboe:
"Sitting on top of both the 6.12 block and io_uring core branches,
here's support for async discard through io_uring.
This allows applications to issue async discards, rather than rely on

difficult to use outside of idle/cleanup periods.

compared to sync discard:

qd64 async discard: 56K IOPS, lat avg 1153 usec (max 3.6 msec)

Pull vfs file updates from Christian Brauner:
"This is the work to cleanup and shrink struct file significantly.
Right now, (focusing on x86) struct file is 232 bytes. After this
series struct file will be 184 bytes aka 3 cacheline and a spare 8
bytes for future extensions at the end of the struct.
With struct file being as ubiquitous as it is this should make a
difference for file heavy workloads and allow further optimizations in
the future.
- struct fown_struct was embedded into struct file letting it take up
32 bytes in total when really it shouldn't even be embedded in
struct file in the first place. Instead, actual users of struct
fown_struct now allocate the struct on demand. This frees up 24
bytes.
- Move struct file_ra_state into the union containg the cleanup hooks
and move f_iocb_flags out of the union. This closes a 4 byte hole
we created earlier and brings struct file to 192 bytes. Which means
struct file is 3 cachelines and we managed to shrink it by 40
bytes.
- Reorder struct file so that nothing crosses a cacheline.
I suspect that in the future we will end up reordering some members
to mitigate false sharing issues or just because someone does
actually provide really good perf data.
- Shrinking struct file to 192 bytes is only part of the work.
Files use a slab that is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and when a kmem cache
is created with SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU the free pointer must be
located outside of the object because the cache doesn't know what
part of the memory can safely be overwritten as it may be needed to
prevent object recycling.
That has the consequence that SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU may end up
adding a new cacheline.
So this also contains work to add a new kmem_cache_create_rcu()
function that allows the caller to specify an offset where the
freelist pointer is supposed to be placed. Thus avoiding the
implicit addition of a fourth cacheline.
- And finally this removes the f_version member in struct file.
The f_version member isn't particularly well-defined. It is mainly
used as a cookie to detect concurrent seeks when iterating
directories. But it is also abused by some subsystems for
completely unrelated things.
It is mostly a directory and filesystem specific thing that doesn't
really need to live in struct file and with its wonky semantics it
really lacks a specific function.
For pipes, f_version is (ab)used to defer poll notifications until
a write has happened. And struct pipe_inode_info is used by
multiple struct files in their ->private_data so there's no chance
of pushing that down into file->private_data without introducing
another pointer indirection.
But pipes don't rely on f_pos_lock so this adds a union into struct
file encompassing f_pos_lock and a pipe specific f_pipe member that
pipes can use. This union of course can be extended to other file
types and is similar to what we do in struct inode already"

gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual pile of misc updates:
Features:
- Add F_CREATED_QUERY fcntl() that allows userspace to query whether
a file was actually created. Often userspace wants to know whether
an O_CREATE request did actually create a file without using
O_EXCL. The current logic is that to first attempts to open the
file without O_CREAT | O_EXCL and if ENOENT is returned userspace
tries again with both flags. If that succeeds all is well. If it
now reports EEXIST it retries.
That works fairly well but some corner cases make this more
involved. If this operates on a dangling symlink the first openat()
without O_CREAT | O_EXCL will return ENOENT but the second openat()
with O_CREAT | O_EXCL will fail with EEXIST.
The reason is that openat() without O_CREAT | O_EXCL follows the
symlink while O_CREAT | O_EXCL doesn't for security reasons. So
it's not something we can really change unless we add an explicit
opt-in via O_FOLLOW which seems really ugly.
All available workarounds are really nasty (fanotify, bpf lsm etc)
so add a simple fcntl().
- Try an opportunistic lookup for O_CREAT. Today, when opening a file
we'll typically do a fast lookup, but if O_CREAT is set, the kernel
always takes the exclusive inode lock. This was likely done with
the expectation that O_CREAT means that we always expect to do the
create, but that's often not the case. Many programs set O_CREAT
even in scenarios where the file already exists (see related
F_CREATED_QUERY patch motivation above).
The series contained in the pr rearranges the pathwalk-for-open
code to also attempt a fast_lookup in certain O_CREAT cases. If a
positive dentry is found, the inode_lock can be avoided altogether
and it can stay in rcuwalk mode for the last step_into.
- Expose the 64 bit mount id via name_to_handle_at()
Now that we provide a unique 64-bit mount ID interface in statx(2),
we can now provide a race-free way for name_to_handle_at(2) to
provide a file handle and corresponding mount without needing to
worry about racing with /proc/mountinfo parsing or having to open a
file just to do statx(2).
While this is not necessary if you are using AT_EMPTY_PATH and
don't care about an extra statx(2) call, users that pass full paths
into name_to_handle_at(2) need to know which mount the file handle
comes from (to make sure they don't try to open_by_handle_at a file
handle from a different filesystem) and switching to AT_EMPTY_PATH
would require allocating a file for every name_to_handle_at(2) call
- Add a per dentry expire timeout to autofs
There are two fairly well known automounter map formats, the autofs
format and the amd format (more or less System V and Berkley).
Some time ago Linux autofs added an amd map format parser that
implemented a fair amount of the amd functionality. This was done
within the autofs infrastructure and some functionality wasn't
implemented because it either didn't make sense or required extra
kernel changes. The idea was to restrict changes to be within the
existing autofs functionality as much as possible and leave changes
with a wider scope to be considered later.
One of these changes is implementing the amd options:
1) "unmount", expire this mount according to a timeout (same as
the current autofs default).
2) "nounmount", don't expire this mount (same as setting the
autofs timeout to 0 except only for this specific mount) .
3) "utimeout=<seconds>", expire this mount using the specified
timeout (again same as setting the autofs timeout but only for
this mount)
To implement these options per-dentry expire timeouts need to be
implemented for autofs indirect mounts. This is because all map
keys (mounts) for autofs indirect mounts use an expire timeout
stored in the autofs mount super block info. structure and all
indirect mounts use the same expire timeout.
Fixes:
- Fix missing fput for FSCONFIG_SET_FD in autofs
- Use param->file for FSCONFIG_SET_FD in coda
- Delete the 'fs/netfs' proc subtreee when netfs module exits
- Make sure that struct uid_gid_map fits into a single cacheline

- Handle OOM on mnt_warn_timestamp_expiry()
- Fix some spelling in the iomap design documentation
- Fix typo in procfs comment
- Fix typo in fs/namespace.c comment
Cleanups:
- Add the VFS git tree to the MAINTAINERS file
- Move FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET to fop_flags freeing up another f_mode
bit in struct file bringing us to 5 free f_mode bits
- Remove the __I_DIO_WAKEUP bit from i_state flags as we can simplify
the wait mechanism
- Remove the unused path_put_init() helper
- Replace a __u32 with u32 for s_fsnotify_mask as __u32 is uapi
specific
- Replace the unsigned long i_state member with a u32 i_state member

using the bit based wait apis we're now using the var event apis
and using the individual bytes of the i_state member to wait on
state changes

As Jann points out, PFN mappings are special, because unlike normal
memory mappings, there is no lifetime information associated with the
mapping - it is just a raw mapping of PFNs with no reference counting of
a 'struct page'.
That's all very much intentional, but it does mean that it's easy to
mess up the cleanup in case of errors. Yes, a failed mmap() will always
eventually clean up any partial mappings, but without any explicit
lifetime in the page table mapping itself, it's very easy to do the
error handling in the wrong order.
In particular, it's easy to mistakenly free the physical backing store
before the page tables are actually cleaned up and (temporarily) have
stale dangling PTE entries.
To make this situation less error-prone, just make sure that any partial
pfn mapping is torn down early, before any other error handling.
