David HowellsandChristian Brauner ccde2ac757 netfs: Fix folio->private handling in netfs_perform_write()
Under some circumstances, netfs_perform_write() doesn't correctly
manipulate folio->private between NULL, NETFS_FOLIO_COPY_TO_CACHE, pointing
to a group and pointing to a netfs_folio struct, leading to potential
multiple attachments of private data with associated folio ref leaks and
also leaks of netfs_folio structs or netfs_group refs.

Fix this by consolidating the place at which a folio is marked uptodate in
one place and having that look at what's attached to folio->private and
decide how to clean it up and then set the new group.  Also, the content
shouldn't be flushed if group is NULL, even if a group is specified in the
netfs_group parameter, as that would be the case for a new folio.  A
filesystem should always specify netfs_group or never specify netfs_group.

The Sashiko auto-review tool noted that it was theoretically possible that
the fpos >= ctx->zero_point section might leak if it modified a streaming
write folio.  This is unlikely, but with a network filesystem, third party
changes can happen.  It also pointed out that __netfs_set_group() would
leak if called multiple times on the same folio from the "whole folio
modify section".

David HowellsandChristian Brauner 70a7b9193b netfs: Fix write streaming disablement if fd open O_RDWR
In netfs_perform_write(), "write streaming" (the caching of dirty data in
dirty but !uptodate folios) is performed to avoid the need to read data
that is just going to get immediately overwritten.  However, this is/will
be disabled in three circumstances: if the fd is open O_RDWR, if fscache is
in use (as we need to round out the blocks for DIO) or if content
encryption is enabled (again for rounding out purposes).

The idea behind disabling it if the fd is open O_RDWR is that we'd need to
flush the write-streaming page before we could read the data, particularly
through mmap.  But netfs now fills in the gaps if ->read_folio() is called
on the page, so that is unnecessary.  Further, this doesn't actually work
if a separate fd is open for reading.

Fix this by removing the check for O_RDWR, thereby allowing streaming
writes even when we might read.

This caused a number of problems with the generic/522 xfstest, but those
are now fixed.

David HowellsandChristian Brauner 7b4dcf1b94 netfs: Fix streaming write being overwritten
In order to avoid reading whilst writing, netfslib will allow "streaming
writes" in which dirty data is stored directly into folios without reading
them first.  Such folios are marked dirty but may not be marked uptodate.
If a folio is entirely written by a streaming write, uptodate will be set,
otherwise it will have a netfs_folio struct attached to ->private recording
the dirty region.

In the event that a partially written streaming write page is to be
overwritten entirely by a single write(), netfs_perform_write() will try to
copy over it, but doesn't discard the netfs_folio if it succeeds; further,
it doesn't correctly handle a partial copy that overwrites some of the
dirty data.

Fix this by the following:

 (1) If the folio is successfully overwritten, free the netfs_folio struct
     before marking the page uptodate.

 (2) If the copy to the folio partially fails, but short of the dirty data,
     just ignore the copy.

 (3) If the copy partially fails and overwrites some of the dirty data,
     accept the copy, update the netfs_folio struct to record the new data.
     If the folio is now filled, free the netfs_folio and set uptodate,
     otherwise return a partial write.

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.

Kees Cook 69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
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 *".

David HowellsandChristian Brauner 5e1e6ec2e3 netfs: Merge i_size update functions
Netfslib has two functions for updating the i_size after a write: one for
buffered writes into the pagecache and one for direct/unbuffered writes.
However, what needs to be done is much the same in both cases, so merge
them together.

This does raise one question, though: should updating the i_size after a
direct write do the same estimated update of i_blocks as is done for
buffered writes.

Also get rid of the cleanup function pointer from netfs_io_request as it's
only used for direct write to update i_size; instead do the i_size setting
directly from write collection.

David HowellsandChristian Brauner 2e0658940d netfs: Fix i_size updating
Fix the updating of i_size, particularly in regard to the completion of DIO
writes and especially async DIO writes by using a lock.

The bug is triggered occasionally by the generic/207 xfstest as it chucks a
bunch of AIO DIO writes at the filesystem and then checks that fstat()
returns a reasonable st_size as each completes.

The problem is that netfs is trying to do "if new_size > inode->i_size,
update inode->i_size" sort of thing but without a lock around it.

This can be seen with cifs, but shouldn't be seen with kafs because kafs
serialises modification ops on the client whereas cifs sends the requests
to the server as they're generated and lets the server order them.

indicate that a workqueue will do the collecting and places that call the
wait function need to deal with it returning the amount transferred.

Linus Torvalds fbc90c042c Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-07-21-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan
   Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.
   These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels.

 - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to
   reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the
   mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My
   bad.

 - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to
   folio_alloc_mpol()"

 - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series
   "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability
   of cgroup writeback"

 - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little
   faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache
   index".

 - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in
   vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
   Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of
   the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects
   here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.

 - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling
   of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is
   "Restructure va_high_addr_switch".

 - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight
   optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to
   simplify code".

 - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our
   fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in
   the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection".

 - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add
   MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull.

 - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang
   has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying.

 - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm:
   zswap: trivial folio conversions".

 - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first",
   Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the
   swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end
   objective of full support of large folio swapin/out.

 - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window
   calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible
   fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code.

 - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has
   taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this
   is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic
   improvements in pagefault latency are realized.

 - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of
   page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to
   fs/proc/internal.h".

 - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series
   "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".

 - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series
   "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"".

 - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry
   Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers
   and utilize them".

 - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has
   reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly
   common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark.

   It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless
   all CPUs are pegged.

 - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series
   "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes".

 - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that
   thing.

 - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu
   Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory".
   This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the
   efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM.

 - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae
   Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit
   function".

 - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()"
   David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially
   modernizing its use of pageframe fields.

 - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove
   page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()".

 - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series
   "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for
   !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline()
   pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks.

 - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
   __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in
   preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin.

 - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio"
   implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large
   folio userspace copying.

 - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool
   and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved
   with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park.

 - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does
   that.

 - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the
   migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault
   folio isolation + checks under PTL".

 - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in
   the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various
   readahead quirks".

 - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
   {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's
   self testing code.

 - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache
   code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported
   by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable.

 - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations
   and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM.

 - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of
   code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code
   Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put
   under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg
   data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1"

 - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim"
   adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file.

 - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan
   permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of
   excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to
   monitor and handle this situation.

 - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from
   migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration
   from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing.

 - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements"
   does those things.

 - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock"
   Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory
   utilization.

 - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for
   pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than
   bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if
   they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block.

 - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to
   /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series
   is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps".

 - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance
   Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information
   related to multisize THP splitting.

 - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages
   without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits
   userspace to use all available huge page sizes.

 - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault
   injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and
   not very useful feature from slab fault injection.

Linus Torvalds 83ab4b461e Merge tag 'vfs-6.10-rc8.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "cachefiles:

   - Export an existing and add a new cachefile helper to be used in
     filesystems to fix reference count bugs

   - Use the newly added fscache_ty_get_volume() helper to get a
     reference count on an fscache_volume to handle volumes that are
     about to be removed cleanly

   - After withdrawing a fscache_cache via FSCACHE_CACHE_IS_WITHDRAWN
     wait for all ongoing cookie lookups to complete and for the object
     count to reach zero

   - Propagate errors from vfs_getxattr() to avoid an infinite loop in
     cachefiles_check_volume_xattr() because it keeps seeing ESTALE

   - Don't send new requests when an object is dropped by raising
     CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND_OJBSTATE_DROPPING

   - Cancel all requests for an object that is about to be dropped

   - Wait for the ondemand_boject_worker to finish before dropping a
     cachefiles object to prevent use-after-free

   - Use cyclic allocation for message ids to better handle id recycling

   - Add missing lock protection when iterating through the xarray when
     polling

  netfs:

   - Use standard logging helpers for debug logging

  VFS:

   - Fix potential use-after-free in file locks during
     trace_posix_lock_inode(). The tracepoint could fire while another
     task raced it and freed the lock that was requested to be traced

   - Only increment the nr_dentry_negative counter for dentries that are
     present on the superblock LRU. Currently, DCACHE_LRU_LIST list is
     used to detect this case. However, the flag is also raised in
     combination with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST to indicate that dentry->d_lru
     is used. So checking only DCACHE_LRU_LIST will lead to wrong
     nr_dentry_negative count. Fix the check to not count dentries that
     are on a shrink related list

  Misc:

   - hfsplus: fix an uninitialized value issue in copy_name

Christian Brauner eeb17984e8 Merge patch series "cachefiles: random bugfixes"
libaokun@huaweicloud.com <libaokun@huaweicloud.com> says:

This is the third version of this patch series, in which another patch set
is subsumed into this one to avoid confusing the two patch sets.
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-fsdevel/list/?series=854914)

We've been testing ondemand mode for cachefiles since January, and we're
almost done. We hit a lot of issues during the testing period, and this
patch series fixes some of the issues. The patches have passed internal
testing without regression.

The following is a brief overview of the patches, see the patches for
more details.

Patch 1-2: Add fscache_try_get_volume() helper function to avoid
fscache_volume use-after-free on cache withdrawal.

Patch 3: Fix cachefiles_lookup_cookie() and cachefiles_withdraw_cache()
concurrency causing cachefiles_volume use-after-free.

Patch 4: Propagate error codes returned by vfs_getxattr() to avoid
endless loops.

Patch 5-7: A read request waiting for reopen could be closed maliciously
before the reopen worker is executing or waiting to be scheduled. So
ondemand_object_worker() may be called after the info and object and even
the cache have been freed and trigger use-after-free. So use
cancel_work_sync() in cachefiles_ondemand_clean_object() to cancel the
reopen worker or wait for it to finish. Since it makes no sense to wait
for the daemon to complete the reopen request, to avoid this pointless
operation blocking cancel_work_sync(), Patch 1 avoids request generation
by the DROPPING state when the request has not been sent, and Patch 2
flushes the requests of the current object before cancel_work_sync().

Patch 8: Cyclic allocation of msg_id to avoid msg_id reuse misleading
the daemon to cause hung.

Patch 9: Hold xas_lock during polling to avoid dereferencing reqs causing
use-after-free. This issue was triggered frequently in our tests, and we
found that anolis 5.10 had fixed it. So to avoid failing the test, this
patch is pushed upstream as well.

Baokun Li (7):
  netfs, fscache: export fscache_put_volume() and add
    fscache_try_get_volume()
  cachefiles: fix slab-use-after-free in fscache_withdraw_volume()
  cachefiles: fix slab-use-after-free in cachefiles_withdraw_cookie()
  cachefiles: propagate errors from vfs_getxattr() to avoid infinite
    loop
  cachefiles: stop sending new request when dropping object
  cachefiles: cancel all requests for the object that is being dropped
  cachefiles: cyclic allocation of msg_id to avoid reuse

Hou Tao (1):
  cachefiles: wait for ondemand_object_worker to finish when dropping
    object
