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.

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)andAndrew Morton 53fbef56e0 mm: introduce memdesc_flags_t
Patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t".

At some point struct page will be separated from struct slab and struct
folio.  This is a step towards that by introducing a type for the 'flags'
word of all three structures.  This gives us a certain amount of type
safety by establishing that some of these unsigned longs are different
from other unsigned longs in that they contain things like node ID,
section number and zone number in the upper bits.  That lets us have
functions that can be easily called by anyone who has a slab, folio or
page (but not easily by anyone else) to get the node or zone.

There's going to be some unusual merge problems with this as some odd bits
of the kernel decide they want to print out the flags value or something
similar by writing page->flags and now they'll need to write page->flags.f
instead.  That's most of the churn here.  Maybe we should be removing
these things from the debug output?


This patch (of 11):

Wrap the unsigned long flags in a typedef.  In upcoming patches, this will
provide a strong hint that you can't just pass a random unsigned long to
functions which take this as an argument.

Linus Torvalds 7031769e10 Merge tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.mmap_prepare' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
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"

Lorenzo StoakesandChristian Brauner 951ea2f484 fs: convert simple use of generic_file_*_mmap() to .mmap_prepare()
Since commit c84bf6dd2b ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file
callback"), the f_op->mmap() hook has been deprecated in favour of
f_op->mmap_prepare().

We have provided generic .mmap_prepare() equivalents, so update all file
systems that specify these directly in their file_operations structures.

This updates 9p, adfs, affs, bfs, fat, hfs, hfsplus, hostfs, hpfs, jffs2,
jfs, minix, omfs, ramfs and ufs file systems directly.

It updates generic_ro_fops which impacts qnx4, cramfs, befs, squashfs,
frebxfs, qnx6, efs, romfs, erofs and isofs file systems.

There are remaining file systems which use generic hooks in a less direct
way which we address in a subsequent commit.

Yifei LiuandRichard Weinberger 23892d383b jffs2: correct logic when creating a hole in jffs2_write_begin
Bug description and fix:

1. Write data to a file, say all 1s from offset 0 to 16.

2. Truncate the file to a smaller size, say 8 bytes.

3. Write new bytes (say 2s) from an offset past the original size of the
file, say at offset 20, for 4 bytes.  This is supposed to create a "hole"
in the file, meaning that the bytes from offset 8 (where it was truncated
above) up to the new write at offset 20, should all be 0s (zeros).

4. Flush all caches using "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" (or unmount
and remount) the f/s.

5. Check the content of the file.  It is wrong.  The 1s that used to be
between bytes 9 and 16, before the truncation, have REAPPEARED (they should
be 0s).

We wrote a script and helper C program to reproduce the bug
(reproduce_jffs2_write_begin_issue.sh, write_file.c, and Makefile).  We can
make them available to anyone.

The above example is shown when writing a small file within the same first
page.  But the bug happens for larger files, as long as steps 1, 2, and 3
above all happen within the same page.

The problem was traced to the jffs2_write_begin code, where it goes into an
'if' statement intended to handle writes past the current EOF (i.e., writes
that may create a hole).  The code computes a 'pageofs' that is the floor
of the write position (pos), aligned to the page size boundary.  In other
words, 'pageofs' will never be larger than 'pos'.  The code then sets the
internal jffs2_raw_inode->isize to the size of max(current inode size,
pageofs) but that is wrong: the new file size should be the 'pos', which is
larger than both the current inode size and pageofs.

Similarly, the code incorrectly sets the internal jffs2_raw_inode->dsize to
the difference between the pageofs minus current inode size; instead it
should be the current pos minus the current inode size.  Finally,
inode->i_size was also set incorrectly.

The patch below fixes this bug.  The bug was discovered using a new tool
for finding f/s bugs using model checking, called MCFS (Model Checking File
Systems).

Christian Brauner cac2f8b8d8 fs: rename current get acl method
The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic
xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to
interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to
userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to
understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of
making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are
building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode
operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths
easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1].

The current inode operation for getting posix acls takes an inode
argument but various filesystems (e.g., 9p, cifs, overlayfs) need access
to the dentry. In contrast to the ->set_acl() inode operation we cannot
simply extend ->get_acl() to take a dentry argument. The ->get_acl()
inode operation is called from:

acl_permission_check()
-> check_acl()
   -> get_acl()

which is part of generic_permission() which in turn is part of
inode_permission(). Both generic_permission() and inode_permission() are
called in the ->permission() handler of various filesystems (e.g.,
overlayfs). So simply passing a dentry argument to ->get_acl() would
amount to also having to pass a dentry argument to ->permission(). We
should avoid this unnecessary change.

So instead of extending the existing inode operation rename it from
->get_acl() to ->get_inode_acl() and add a ->get_acl() method later that
passes a dentry argument and which filesystems that need access to the
dentry can implement instead of ->get_inode_acl(). Filesystems like cifs
which allow setting and getting posix acls but not using them for
permission checking during lookup can simply not implement
->get_inode_acl().

This is intended to be a non-functional change.

Kyeong YooandRichard Weinberger aa39cc6757 jffs2: GC deadlock reading a page that is used in jffs2_write_begin()
GC task can deadlock in read_cache_page() because it may attempt
to release a page that is actually allocated by another task in
jffs2_write_begin().
The reason is that in jffs2_write_begin() there is a small window
a cache page is allocated for use but not set Uptodate yet.

This ends up with a deadlock between two tasks:
1) A task (e.g. file copy)
   - jffs2_write_begin() locks a cache page
   - jffs2_write_end() tries to lock "alloc_sem" from
	 jffs2_reserve_space() <-- STUCK
2) GC task (jffs2_gcd_mtd3)
   - jffs2_garbage_collect_pass() locks "alloc_sem"
   - try to lock the same cache page in read_cache_page() <-- STUCK

So to avoid this deadlock, hold "alloc_sem" in jffs2_write_begin()
while reading data in a cache page.

Joel StanleyandRichard Weinberger 42984af09a jffs2: Hook up splice_write callback
overlayfs using jffs2 as the upper filesystem would fail in some cases
since moving to v5.10. The test case used was to run 'touch' on a file
that exists in the lower fs, causing the modification time to be
updated. It returns EINVAL when the bug is triggered.

A bisection showed this was introduced in v5.9-rc1, with commit
36e2c7421f ("fs: don't allow splice read/write without explicit ops").
Reverting that commit restores the expected behaviour.

Some digging showed that this was due to jffs2 lacking an implementation
of splice_write. (For unknown reasons the warn_unsupported that should
trigger was not displaying any output).

Adding this patch resolved the issue and the test now passes.
