 "This cleans up the mess that has accumulated over the years in

  It moves the tracking into dedicated structure in filesystem-private

  and private_lock in struct address_space), and also moves couple other
  users of private_data and private_list so these are removed from
  struct address_space saving 3 longs in struct inode for 99% of inodes"

Vasiliy KovalevandJan Kara 25947cc5b2 ext2: reject inodes with zero i_nlink and valid mode in ext2_iget()
ext2_iget() already rejects inodes with i_nlink == 0 when i_mode is
zero or i_dtime is set, treating them as deleted. However, the case of
i_nlink == 0 with a non-zero mode and zero dtime slips through. Since
ext2 has no orphan list, such a combination can only result from
filesystem corruption - a legitimate inode deletion always sets either
i_dtime or clears i_mode before freeing the inode.

A crafted image can exploit this gap to present such an inode to the
VFS, which then triggers WARN_ON inside drop_nlink() (fs/inode.c) via
ext2_unlink(), ext2_rename() and ext2_rmdir():

Extend the existing i_nlink == 0 check to also catch this case,
reporting the corruption via ext2_error() and returning -EFSCORRUPTED.
This rejects the inode at load time and prevents it from reaching any
of the namei.c paths.

Jeff LaytonandChristian Brauner 0b2600f81c treewide: change inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64
On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which
causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several
filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that
exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions
and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems.

Change the type of inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that
inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of
architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to
%llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable
types.

This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series
handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for
better struct packing on 32-bit.

Ziyi GuoandJan Kara 19134a1331 ext2: avoid drop_nlink() during unlink of zero-nlink inode in ext2_unlink()
ext2_unlink() calls inode_dec_link_count() unconditionally, which
invokes drop_nlink(). If the inode was loaded from a corrupted disk
image with i_links_count == 0, drop_nlink()
triggers WARN_ON(inode->i_nlink == 0)

Follow the ext4 pattern from __ext4_unlink(): check i_nlink before
decrementing. If already zero, skip the decrement.

The function __rsv_window_dump() is a heavyweight debug tool that walks
the reservation red-black tree. It is currently guarded by #if 1,
forcing it to be compiled into all kernels, even production ones.

Match the rest of the file by guarding it with #ifdef EXT2FS_DEBUG,
so it is only included when explicit debugging is enabled.

This removes the unused function code from standard builds.

Linus Torvalds 32a92f8c89 Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

Linus Torvalds bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Pull vfs error reporting updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the changes to support generic I/O error reporting.

  Filesystems currently have no standard mechanism for reporting
  metadata corruption and file I/O errors to userspace via fsnotify.
  Each filesystem (xfs, ext4, erofs, f2fs, etc.) privately defines
  EFSCORRUPTED, and error reporting to fanotify is inconsistent or
  absent entirely.

  This introduces a generic fserror infrastructure built around struct
  super_block that gives filesystems a standard way to queue metadata
  and file I/O error reports for delivery to fsnotify.

  Errors are queued via mempools and queue_work to avoid holding
  filesystem locks in the notification path; unmount waits for pending
  events to drain. A new super_operations::report_error callback lets
  filesystem drivers respond to file I/O errors themselves (to be used
  by an upcoming XFS self-healing patchset).

  On the uapi side, EFSCORRUPTED and EUCLEAN are promoted from private
  per-filesystem definitions to canonical errno.h values across all
  architectures"

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"

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"

Taotao ChenandChristian Brauner e9d8e2bf23 fs: change write_begin/write_end interface to take struct kiocb *
Change the address_space_operations callbacks write_begin() and
write_end() to take struct kiocb * as the first argument instead of
struct file *.

Update all affected function prototypes, implementations, call sites,
and related documentation across VFS, filesystems, and block layer.

Part of a series refactoring address_space_operations write_begin and
write_end callbacks to use struct kiocb for passing write context and
flags.

Now that we expose struct file_attr as our uapi struct rename all the
internal struct to struct file_kattr to clearly communicate that it is a
kernel internal struct. This is similar to struct mount_{k}attr and
others.
