"Cleanups (and one fix) around struct mount handling.
The fix is usermode_driver.c one - once you've done kern_mount(), you
must kern_unmount(); simple mntput() will end up with a leak. Several
failure exits in there messed up that way... In practice you won't hit
those particular failure exits without fault injection, though"

Unify the primitives for file descriptor closing
fs: remove fget_many and fput_many interface
io_uring_enter(): don't leave f.flags uninitialized
Currently we have 3 primitives for removing an opened file from descriptor
table - pick_file(), __close_fd_get_file() and close_fd_get_file(). Their
calling conventions are rather odd and there's a code duplication for no
good reason. They can be unified -
1) have __range_close() cap max_fd in the very beginning; that way
we don't need separate way for pick_file() to report being past the end
of descriptor table.
2) make {__,}close_fd_get_file() return file (or NULL) directly, rather
than returning it via struct file ** argument. Don't bother with
(bogus) return value - nobody wants that -ENOENT.
3) make pick_file() return NULL on unopened descriptor - the only caller
that used to care about the distinction between descriptor past the end
of descriptor table and finding NULL in descriptor table doesn't give
a damn after (1).
4) lift ->files_lock out of pick_file()
That actually simplifies the callers, as well as the primitives themselves.
Code duplication is also gone...

This splits of the setup part of the function setxattr in its own
dedicated function called setxattr_copy. In addition it also exposes a new
function called do_setxattr for making the setxattr call.
This makes it possible to call these two functions from io_uring in the
processing of an xattr request.

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"This contains feature updates, performance improvements, preparatory
and core work and some related VFS updates:
Features:
- encoded read/write ioctls, allows user space to read or write raw
data directly to extents (now compressed, encrypted in the future),
will be used by send/receive v2 where it saves processing time
- zoned mode now works with metadata DUP (the mkfs.btrfs default)
- error message header updates:
- print error state: transaction abort, other error, log tree
errors
- print transient filesystem state: remount, device replace,
ignored checksum verifications
- tree-checker: verify the transaction id of the to-be-written dirty
extent buffer
Performance improvements for fsync:
- directory logging speedups (up to -90% run time)
- avoid logging all directory changes during renames (up to -60% run
time)
- avoid inode logging during rename and link when possible (up to
-60% run time)
- prepare extents to be logged before locking a log tree path
(throughput +7%)
- stop copying old file extents when doing a full fsync()
- improved logging of old extents after truncate
Core, fixes:
- improved stale device identification by dev_t and not just path
(for devices that are behind other layers like device mapper)
- continued extent tree v2 preparatory work
- disable features that won't work yet
- add wrappers and abstractions for new tree roots
- improved error handling
- add super block write annotations around background block group
reclaim
- fix device scanning messages potentially accessing stale pointer
- cleanups and refactoring
VFS:
- allow reflinks/deduplication from two different mounts of the same
filesystem
- export and add helpers for read/write range verification, for the
encoded ioctls"

One of the key architectual tenets is to keep the parameters for
io-uring stable. After the call has been submitted, its value can
be changed. Unfortunaltely this is not the case for the current statx
implementation.
IO-Uring change:
This changes replaces the const char * filename pointer in the io_statx
structure with a struct filename *. In addition it also creates the
filename object during the prepare phase.
With this change, the opcode also needs to invoke cleanup, so the
filename object gets freed after processing the request.
fs change:
This replaces the const char* __user filename parameter in the two
functions do_statx and vfs_statx with a struct filename *. In addition
to be able to correctly construct a filename object a new helper
function getname_statx_lookup_flags is introduced. The function makes
sure that do_statx and vfs_statx is invoked with the correct lookup flags.

There are no plans to convert buffer_head infrastructure to use large
folios, but __block_write_begin_int() is called from iomap, and it's
more convenient and less error-prone if we pass in a folio from iomap.
It also has a nice saving of almost 200 bytes of code from removing

Historically (pre-2.5), the inode shrinker used to reclaim only empty
inodes and skip over those that still contained page cache. This caused
problems on highmem hosts: struct inode could put fill lowmem zones
before the cache was getting reclaimed in the highmem zones.
To address this, the inode shrinker started to strip page cache to
facilitate reclaiming lowmem. However, this comes with its own set of
problems: the shrinkers may drop actively used page cache just because
the inodes are not currently open or dirty - think working with a large
git tree. It further doesn't respect cgroup memory protection settings
and can cause priority inversions between containers.
Nowadays, the page cache also holds non-resident info for evicted cache
pages in order to detect refaults. We've come to rely heavily on this
data inside reclaim for protecting the cache workingset and driving swap
behavior. We also use it to quantify and report workload health through
psi. The latter in turn is used for fleet health monitoring, as well as
driving automated memory sizing of workloads and containers, proactive
reclaim and memory offloading schemes.
The consequences of dropping page cache prematurely is that we're seeing
subtle and not-so-subtle failures in all of the above-mentioned
scenarios, with the workload generally entering unexpected thrashing
states while losing the ability to reliably detect it.
To fix this on non-highmem systems at least, going back to rotating
inodes on the LRU isn't feasible. We've tried (commit a76cf1a474
("mm: don't reclaim inodes with many attached pages")) and failed
(commit 69056ee6a8 ("Revert "mm: don't reclaim inodes with many
attached pages"")).
The issue is mostly that shrinker pools attract pressure based on their
size, and when objects get skipped the shrinkers remember this as
deferred reclaim work. This accumulates excessive pressure on the
remaining inodes, and we can quickly eat into heavily used ones, or
dirty ones that require IO to reclaim, when there potentially is plenty
of cold, clean cache around still.
Instead, this patch keeps populated inodes off the inode LRU in the
first place - just like an open file or dirty state would. An otherwise
clean and unused inode then gets queued when the last cache entry
disappears. This solves the problem without reintroducing the reclaim
issues, and generally is a bit more scalable than having to wade through
potentially hundreds of thousands of busy inodes.
Locking is a bit tricky because the locks protecting the inode state
(i_lock) and the inode LRU (lru_list.lock) don't nest inside the
irq-safe page cache lock (i_pages.xa_lock). Page cache deletions are
serialized through i_lock, taken before the i_pages lock, to make sure
depopulated inodes are queued reliably. Additions may race with
deletions, but we'll check again in the shrinker. If additions race
with the shrinker itself, we're protected by the i_lock: if find_inode()
or iput() win, the shrinker will bail on the elevated i_count or
I_REFERENCED; if the shrinker wins and goes ahead with the inode, it
will set I_FREEING and inhibit further igets(), which will cause the
other side to create a new instance of the inode instead.

Pull iomap updates from Darrick Wong:
"The most notable externally visible change for this cycle is the
addition of support for reads to inline tail fragments of files, which
was requested by the erofs developers; and a correction for a kernel
memory corruption bug if the sysadmin tries to activate a swapfile
with more pages than the swapfile header suggests.
We also now report writeback completion errors to the file mapping
correctly, instead of munging all errors into EIO.
Internally, the bulk of the changes are Christoph's patchset to reduce
the indirect function call count by a third to a half by converting
iomap iteration from a loop pattern to a generator/consumer pattern.
As an added bonus, fsdax no longer open-codes iomap apply loops.
Summary:
- Simplify the bio_end_page usage in the buffered IO code.
- Support reading inline data at nonzero offsets for erofs.
- Fix some typos and bad grammar.
- Convert kmap_atomic usage in the inline data read path.
- Add some extra inline data input checking.
- Fix a memory corruption bug stemming from iomap_swapfile_activate
trying to activate more pages than mm was expecting.
- Pass errnos through the page writeback code so that writeback
errors are reported correctly instead of being munged to EIO.
- Replace iomap_apply with a open-coded iterator loops to reduce the
number of indirect calls by a third to a half.
- Refactor the fsdax code to use iomap iterators instead of the
open-coded iomap_apply code that it had before.
- Format file range iomap tracepoint data in hexadecimal and
standardize the names used in the pretty-print string"

There were other less common instances of some kind of a general scribble
but the common theme was mount and cgroup and a dubious dentry triggering
the NULL dereference. I was only able to reproduce it under qemu by
replicating Richard's setup as closely as possible - I never did get it
to happen on bare metal, even while keeping everything else the same.
In commit 71d883c37e ("cgroup_do_mount(): massage calling conventions")
we see this as a part of the overall change:
--------------
struct cgroup_subsys *ss;
- struct dentry *dentry;
[...]
- dentry = cgroup_do_mount(&cgroup_fs_type, fc->sb_flags, root,
- CGROUP_SUPER_MAGIC, ns);
[...]
- if (percpu_ref_is_dying(&root->cgrp.self.refcnt)) {
- struct super_block *sb = dentry->d_sb;
- dput(dentry);
+ ret = cgroup_do_mount(fc, CGROUP_SUPER_MAGIC, ns);
+ if (!ret && percpu_ref_is_dying(&root->cgrp.self.refcnt)) {
+ struct super_block *sb = fc->root->d_sb;
+ dput(fc->root);
deactivate_locked_super(sb);
msleep(10);
return restart_syscall();
}
--------------
In changing from the local "*dentry" variable to using fc->root, we now
export/leave that dentry pointer in the file context after doing the dput()
in the unlikely "is_dying" case. With LTP doing a crazy amount of back to
back mount/unmount [testcases/bin/cgroup_regression_5_1.sh] the unlikely
becomes slightly likely and then bad things happen.
A fix would be to not leave the stale reference in fc->root as follows:
--------------
dput(fc->root);
+ fc->root = NULL;
deactivate_locked_super(sb);
--------------
...but then we are just open-coding a duplicate of fc_drop_locked() so we
simply use that instead.
