45f147a1bc fs: Call security_ops->inode_killpriv on truncate
Comment in include/linux/security.h says that ->inode_killpriv() should
be called when setuid bit is being removed and that similar security
labels (in fact this applies only to file capabilities) should be
removed at this time as well. However we don't call ->inode_killpriv()
when we remove suid bit on truncate.

We fix the problem by calling ->inode_need_killpriv() and subsequently
->inode_killpriv() on truncate the same way as we do it on file write.

After this patch there's only one user of should_remove_suid() - ocfs2 -
and indeed it's buggy because it doesn't call ->inode_killpriv() on
write. However fixing it is difficult because of special locking
constraints.

4bacc9c923 overlayfs: Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay
Make file->f_path always point to the overlay dentry so that the path in
/proc/pid/fd is correct and to ensure that label-based LSMs have access to the
overlay as well as the underlay (path-based LSMs probably don't need it).

Using my union testsuite to set things up, before the patch I see:

	[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107
	[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/
	...
	lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun  5 14:38 5 -> /a/foo107
	[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107
	...
	Device: 23h/35d Inode: 13381       Links: 1
	...
	[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5
	...
	Device: 23h/35d Inode: 13381       Links: 1
	...

After the patch:

	[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107
	[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/
	...
	lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun  5 14:22 5 -> /mnt/a/foo107
	[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107
	...
	Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346       Links: 1
	...
	[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5
	...
	Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346       Links: 1
	...

Note the change in where /proc/$$/fd/5 points to in the ls command.  It was
pointing to /a/foo107 (which doesn't exist) and now points to /mnt/a/foo107
(which is correct).

The inode accessed, however, is the lower layer.  The union layer is on device
25h/37d and the upper layer on 24h/36d.

Pull xfs update from Dave Chinner:
 "This update contains:

   - conversion of per-cpu superblock accounting to use generic counters

   - new inode mmap lock so that we can lock page faults out of
     truncate, hole punch and other direct extent manipulation functions
     to avoid racing mmap writes from causing data corruption

   - rework of direct IO submission and completion to solve data
     corruption issue when running concurrent extending DIO writes.
     Also solves problem of running IO completion transactions in
     interrupt context during size extending AIO writes.

   - FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE support for inserting holes into a file via
     direct extent manipulation to avoid needing to copy data within the
     file

   - attribute block header field overflow fix for 64k block size
     filesystems

   - Lots of changes to log messaging to be more informative and concise
     when errors occur.  Also prevent a lot of unnecessary log spamming
     due to cascading failures in error conditions.

   - lots of cleanups and bug fixes

  One thing of note is the direct IO fixes that we merged last week
  after the window opened.  Even though a little late, they fix a user

c1b8940b42 NFS: fix BUG() crash in notify_change() with patch to chown_common()
We have observed a BUG() crash in fs/attr.c:notify_change(). The crash
occurs during an rsync into a filesystem that is exported via NFS.

1.) fs/attr.c:notify_change() modifies the caller's version of attr.
2.) 6de0ec00ba ("VFS: make notify_change pass ATTR_KILL_S*ID to
    setattr operations") introduced a BUG() restriction such that "no
    function will ever call notify_change() with both ATTR_MODE and
    ATTR_KILL_S*ID set". Under some circumstances though, it will have
    assisted in setting the caller's version of attr to this very
    combination.
3.) 27ac0ffeac ("locks: break delegations on any attribute
    modification") introduced code to handle breaking
    delegations. This can result in notify_change() being re-called. attr
    _must_ be explicitly reset to avoid triggering the BUG() established
    in #2.
4.) The path that that triggers this is via fs/open.c:chmod_common().
    The combination of attr flags set here and in the first call to
    notify_change() along with a later failed break_deleg_wait()
    results in notify_change() being called again via retry_deleg
    without resetting attr.

Solution is to move retry_deleg in chmod_common() a bit further up to
ensure attr is completely reset.

There are other places where this seemingly could occur, such as
fs/utimes.c:utimes_common(), but the attr flags are not initially
set in such a way to trigger this.

Fixes: 27ac0ffeac ("locks: break delegations on any attribute modification")

dd46c78778 fs: Add support FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE for fallocate
FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE command is the opposite command of
FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE that is needed for someone who wants to add
some data in the middle of file.

FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE will create space for writing new data within
a file after shifting extents to right as given length. This command
also has same limitations as FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE in that
operations need to be filesystem block boundary aligned and cannot
cross the current EOF.

5168910413 fs: create proper filename objects using getname_kernel()
There are several areas in the kernel that create temporary filename
objects using the following pattern:

	int func(const char *name)
	{
		struct filename *file = { .name = name };
		...
		return 0;
	}

... which for the most part works okay, but it causes havoc within the
audit subsystem as the filename object does not persist beyond the
lifetime of the function.  This patch converts all of these temporary
filename objects into proper filename objects using getname_kernel()
and putname() which ensure that the filename object persists until the
audit subsystem is finished with it.

Also, a special thanks to Al Viro, Guenter Roeck, and Sabrina Dubroca
for helping resolve a difficult kernel panic on boot related to a
use-after-free problem in kern_path_create(); the thread can be seen
at the link below:

820c12d5d6 fallocate: create FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY events
The fanotify and the inotify API can be used to monitor changes of the
file system.  System call fallocate() modifies files.  Hence it should
trigger the corresponding fanotify (FAN_MODIFY) and inotify (IN_MODIFY)
events.  The most interesting case is FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE because
this value allows to create arbitrary file content from random data.

This patch adds the missing call to fsnotify_modify().

The FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY event will be created when fallocate()
succeeds.  It will even be created if the file length remains unchanged,
e.g.  when calling fanotify with flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE.

This logic was primarily chosen to keep the coding simple.

It resembles the logic of the write() system call.

When we call write() we always create a FAN_MODIFY event, even in the case
of overwriting with identical data.

Events FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY do not provide any guarantee that data was
actually changed.

Furthermore even if if the filesize remains unchanged, fallocate() may
influence whether a subsequent write() will succeed and hence the
fallocate() call may be considered a modification.

The fallocate(2) man page teaches: After a successful call, subsequent
writes into the range specified by offset and len are guaranteed not to
fail because of lack of disk space.

So calling fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, offset, len) may result in
different outcomes of a subsequent write depending on the values of offset
and len.

293bc9822f new methods: ->read_iter() and ->write_iter()
Beginning to introduce those.  Just the callers for now, and it's
clumsier than it'll eventually become; once we finish converting
aio_read and aio_write instances, the things will get nicer.

For now, these guys are in parallel to ->aio_read() and ->aio_write();
they take iocb and iov_iter, with everything in iov_iter already
validated.  File offset is passed in iocb->ki_pos, iov/nr_segs -
in iov_iter.

Main concerns in that series are stack footprint and ability to
split the damn thing cleanly.

system needs to make sure that i_size is not going to change.  The
i_size check for the other fallocate modes are also done in the
filesystems.

As it is now we can easily crash the kernel by having two processes
doing truncate and fallocate collapse range at the same time.  This
can be reproduced on ext4 and it is theoretically possible on xfs even
though I was not able to trigger it with this simple test.

This commit removes the check from do_fallocate and adds it to the
file system.
