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.

Some filesystems, such as NFS, cifs, ceph, and fuse, do not have
complete control of sequencing on the actual filesystem (e.g. on a
different server) and may find that the inode created for a mkdir
request already exists in the icache and dcache by the time the mkdir
request returns. For example, if the filesystem is mounted twice the
directory could be visible on the other mount before it is on the
original mount, and a pair of name_to_handle_at(), open_by_handle_at()
calls could instantiate the directory inode with an IS_ROOT() dentry
before the first mkdir returns.
This means that the dentry passed to ->mkdir() may not be the one that
is associated with the inode after the ->mkdir() completes. Some
callers need to interact with the inode after the ->mkdir completes and
they currently need to perform a lookup in the (rare) case that the
dentry is no longer hashed.
This lookup-after-mkdir requires that the directory remains locked to
avoid races. Planned future patches to lock the dentry rather than the
directory will mean that this lookup cannot be performed atomically with
the mkdir.
To remove this barrier, this patch changes ->mkdir to return the
resulting dentry if it is different from the one passed in.
Possible returns are:
NULL - the directory was created and no other dentry was used
ERR_PTR() - an error occurred
non-NULL - this other dentry was spliced in
This patch only changes file-systems to return "ERR_PTR(err)" instead of
"err" or equivalent transformations. Subsequent patches will make
further changes to some file-systems to return a correct dentry.
Not all filesystems reliably result in a positive hashed dentry:
- NFS, cifs, hostfs will sometimes need to perform a lookup of
the name to get inode information. Races could result in this
returning something different. Note that this lookup is
non-atomic which is what we are trying to avoid. Placing the
lookup in filesystem code means it only happens when the filesystem
has no other option.
- kernfs and tracefs leave the dentry negative and the ->revalidate
operation ensures that lookup will be called to correctly populate
the dentry. This could be fixed but I don't think it is important
to any of the users of vfs_mkdir() which look at the dentry.
The recommendation to use
d_drop();d_splice_alias()
is ugly but fits with current practice. A planned future patch will
change this.

A minor issue with nilfs_rename, originating from an old ext2
implementation, is that the mtime is updated even if the rename target is
a directory and it is renamed within the same directory, rather than moved
to a different directory.
In this case, the child directory being renamed does not change in any
way, so changing its mtime is unnecessary according to the specification,
and can unnecessarily confuse backup tools.
In ext2, this issue was fixed by commit 39fe7557b4 ("ext2: Do not update
mtime of a moved directory") and a few subsequent fixes, but it remained
in nilfs2.
Fix this issue by not calling nilfs_set_link(), which rewrites the inode
number of the directory entry that refers to the parent directory, when
the move target is a directory and the source and destination are the same
directory.
Here, the directory to be moved only needs to be read if the inode number
of the parent directory is rewritten with nilfs_set_link, so also adjust
the execution conditions of the preparation work to avoid unnecessary
directory reads.

syzbot reported a WARNING in nilfs_rmdir. [1]
Because the inode bitmap is corrupted, an inode with an inode number that
should exist as a ".nilfs" file was reassigned by nilfs_mkdir for "file0",
causing an inode duplication during execution. And this causes an
underflow of i_nlink in rmdir operations.
The inode is used twice by the same task to unmount and remove directories
".nilfs" and "file0", it trigger warning in nilfs_rmdir.
Avoid to this issue, check i_nlink in nilfs_iget(), if it is 0, it means
that this inode has been deleted, and iput is executed to reclaim it.

Syzbot reported that page_symlink(), called by nilfs_symlink(), triggers
memory reclamation involving the filesystem layer, which can result in
circular lock dependencies among the reader/writer semaphore
nilfs->ns_segctor_sem, s_writers percpu_rwsem (intwrite) and the
fs_reclaim pseudo lock.
This is because after commit 21fc61c73c ("don't put symlink bodies in
pagecache into highmem"), the gfp flags of the page cache for symbolic
links are overwritten to GFP_KERNEL via inode_nohighmem().
This is not a problem for symlinks read from the backing device, because
the __GFP_FS flag is dropped after inode_nohighmem() is called. However,
when a new symlink is created with nilfs_symlink(), the gfp flags remain
overwritten to GFP_KERNEL. Then, memory allocation called from
page_symlink() etc. triggers memory reclamation including the FS layer,
which may call nilfs_evict_inode() or nilfs_dirty_inode(). And these can
cause a deadlock if they are called while nilfs->ns_segctor_sem is held:
Fix this issue by dropping the __GFP_FS flag from the page cache GFP flags
of newly created symlinks in the same way that nilfs_new_inode() and
__nilfs_read_inode() do, as a workaround until we adopt nofs allocation
scope consistently or improve the locking constraints.

In nilfs_rename(), calls to nilfs_put_page() to release pages obtained
with nilfs_find_entry() or nilfs_dotdot() are alternated in the normal
path.
When replacing the kernel memory mapping method from kmap to
kmap_local_{page,folio}, this violates the constraint on the calling order
of kunmap_local().
Swap the order of nilfs_put_page calls where the kmap sections of multiple
pages overlap so that they are nested, allowing direct replacement of
nilfs_put_page() -> unmap_and_put_page().
Without this reordering, that replacement will cause a kernel WARNING in
kunmap_local_indexed() on architectures with high memory mapping.

Patch series "nilfs2: Folio conversions for directory paths".
This series applies page->folio conversions to nilfs2 directory
operations. This reduces hidden compound_head() calls and also converts
deprecated kmap calls to kmap_local in the directory code.
Although nilfs2 does not yet support large folios, Matthew has done his
best here to include support for large folios, which will be needed for
devices with large block sizes.
This series corresponds to the second half of the original post [1], but
with two complementary patches inserted at the beginning and some
adjustments, to prevent a kmap_local constraint violation found during
testing with highmem mapping.
[1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231106173903.1734114-1-willy@infradead.org
I have reviewed all changes and tested this for regular and small block
sizes, both on machines with and without highmem mapping. No issues
found.
This patch (of 17):
In a few directory operations, the call to nilfs_put_page() for a page
obtained using nilfs_find_entry() or nilfs_dotdot() is hidden in
nilfs_set_link() and nilfs_delete_entry(), making it difficult to track
page release and preventing change of its call position.
By moving nilfs_put_page() out of these functions, this makes the page
get/put correspondence clearer and makes it easier to swap
nilfs_put_page() calls (and kunmap calls within them) when modifying
multiple directory entries simultaneously in nilfs_rename().
Also, update comments for nilfs_set_link() and nilfs_delete_entry() to
reflect changes in their behavior.
To make nilfs_put_page() visible from namei.c, this moves its definition
to nilfs.h and replaces existing equivalents to use it, but the exposure
of that definition is temporary and will be removed on a later kmap ->
kmap_local conversion.

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.
As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.
