 "Fix livelocks in shrink_dcache_tree()

  If shrink_dcache_tree() finds a dentry in the middle of being killed
  by another thread, it has to wait until the victim finishes dying,
  gets detached from the tree and ceases to pin its parent.

  The way we used to deal with that amounted to busy-wait;
  unfortunately, it's not just inefficient but can lead to reliably
  reproducible hard livelocks.

  Solved by having shrink_dentry_tree() attach a completion to such
  dentry, with dentry_unlist() calling complete() on all objects
  attached to it. With a bit of care it can be done without growing
  struct dentry or adding overhead in normal case"

Amir GoldsteinandJan Kara 4aca914ac1 fsnotify: fix inode reference leak in fsnotify_recalc_mask()
fsnotify_recalc_mask() fails to handle the return value of
__fsnotify_recalc_mask(), which may return an inode pointer that needs
to be released via fsnotify_drop_object() when the connector's HAS_IREF
flag transitions from set to cleared.

This manifests as a hung task with the following call trace:

  INFO: task umount:1234 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
  Call Trace:
   __schedule
   schedule
   fsnotify_sb_delete
   generic_shutdown_super
   kill_anon_super
   cleanup_mnt
   task_work_run
   do_exit
   do_group_exit

The race window that triggers the iref leak:

  Thread A (adding mark)              Thread B (removing mark)
  ──────────────────────              ────────────────────────
  fsnotify_add_mark_locked():
    fsnotify_add_mark_list():
      spin_lock(conn->lock)
      add mark_B(evictable) to list
      spin_unlock(conn->lock)
    return

    /* ---- gap: no lock held ---- */

                                      fsnotify_detach_mark(mark_A):
                                        spin_lock(mark_A->lock)
                                        clear ATTACHED flag on mark_A
                                        spin_unlock(mark_A->lock)
                                        fsnotify_put_mark(mark_A)

    fsnotify_recalc_mask():
      spin_lock(conn->lock)
      __fsnotify_recalc_mask():
        /* mark_A skipped: ATTACHED cleared */
        /* only mark_B(evictable) remains */
        want_iref = false
        has_iref = true  /* not yet cleared */
        -> HAS_IREF transitions true -> false
        -> returns inode pointer
      spin_unlock(conn->lock)
      /* BUG: return value discarded!
       * iput() and fsnotify_put_sb_watched_objects()
       * are never called */

Fix this by deferring the transition true -> false of HAS_IREF flag from
fsnotify_recalc_mask() (Thread A) to fsnotify_put_mark() (thread B).

Al Viro 408d8af01f for_each_alias(): helper macro for iterating through dentries of given inode
Most of the places using d_alias are loops iterating through all aliases for
given inode; introduce a helper macro (for_each_alias(dentry, inode))
and convert open-coded instances of such loop to it.

They are easier to read that way and it reduces the noise on the next steps.

You _must_ hold inode->i_lock over that thing.

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.

Ondrej MosnacekandJan Kara 0d5ee33734 fanotify: avoid/silence premature LSM capability checks
Make sure calling capable()/ns_capable() actually leads to access denied
when false is returned, because these functions emit an audit record
when a Linux Security Module denies the capability, which makes it
difficult to avoid allowing/silencing unnecessary permissions in
security policies (namely with SELinux).

Where the return value just used to set a flag, use the non-auditing
ns_capable_noaudit() instead.

Chia-Ming ChangandJan Kara 6a320935fa inotify: fix watch count leak when fsnotify_add_inode_mark_locked() fails
When fsnotify_add_inode_mark_locked() fails in inotify_new_watch(),
the error path calls inotify_remove_from_idr() but does not call
dec_inotify_watches() to undo the preceding inc_inotify_watches().
This leaks a watch count, and repeated failures can exhaust the
max_user_watches limit with -ENOSPC even when no watches are active.

Prior to commit 1cce1eea0a ("inotify: Convert to using per-namespace
limits"), the watch count was incremented after fsnotify_add_mark_locked()
succeeded, so this path was not affected. The conversion moved
inc_inotify_watches() before the mark insertion without adding the
corresponding rollback.

Add the missing dec_inotify_watches() call in the error path.

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 *".

Jan Kara a05fc7edd9 fsnotify: Use connector list for destroying inode marks
Instead of iterating all inodes belonging to a superblock to find inode
marks and remove them on umount, iterate all inode connectors for the
superblock. This may be substantially faster since there are generally
much less inodes with fsnotify marks than all inodes. It also removes
one use of sb->s_inodes list which we strive to ultimately remove.

Amir GoldsteinandJan Kara 635bc4def0 fsnotify: do not generate ACCESS/MODIFY events on child for special files
inotify/fanotify do not allow users with no read access to a file to
subscribe to events (e.g. IN_ACCESS/IN_MODIFY), but they do allow the
same user to subscribe for watching events on children when the user
has access to the parent directory (e.g. /dev).

Users with no read access to a file but with read access to its parent
directory can still stat the file and see if it was accessed/modified
via atime/mtime change.

The same is not true for special files (e.g. /dev/null). Users will not
generally observe atime/mtime changes when other users read/write to
special files, only when someone sets atime/mtime via utimensat().

Align fsnotify events with this stat behavior and do not generate
ACCESS/MODIFY events to parent watchers on read/write of special files.
The events are still generated to parent watchers on utimensat(). This
closes some side-channels that could be possibly used for information
exfiltration [1].

Pull fd prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds the FD_ADD() and FD_PREPARE() primitive. They simplify the
  common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install()
  that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires
  cumbersome cleanup paths.

  FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately:

      fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device));
      if (fd < 0)
          vfio_device_put_registration(device);
      return fd;

  FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or
  additional work before publishing:

      FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file->file);
      if (fdf.err) {
          fput(sync_file->file);
          return fdf.err;
      }

      data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf);
      if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &data, sizeof(data)))
          return -EFAULT;

      return fd_publish(fdf);

  The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE()
  encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by
  a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and
  installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called,
  both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does
  fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller.

  I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup
  infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered
  around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so
  we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure"

Mateusz GuzikandChristian Brauner b4dbfd8653 Coccinelle-based conversion to use ->i_state accessors
All places were patched by coccinelle with the default expecting that
->i_lock is held, afterwards entries got fixed up by hand to use
unlocked variants as needed.

The script:

Jakub AcsandJan Kara a7c4bb43bf fs/notify: call exportfs_encode_fid with s_umount
Calling intotify_show_fdinfo() on fd watching an overlayfs inode, while
the overlayfs is being unmounted, can lead to dereferencing NULL ptr.

This issue was found by syzkaller.

Race Condition Diagram:

                    |             vfs_read()
                    |              inotify_fdinfo()
                    |               * inode get from mark *
                    |               show_mark_fhandle(m, inode)
                    |                exportfs_encode_fid(inode, ..)
                    |                 ovl_encode_fh(inode, ..)
                    |                  ovl_check_encode_origin(inode)
                    |                   * deref i_sb->s_root *
                    |
                    |
                    v
 fsnotify_sb_delete(sb)

Which then leads to:

IOW ovl_check_encode_origin derefs inode->i_sb->s_root, after it was set
to NULL in the unmount path.

Fix it by protecting calling exportfs_encode_fid() from
show_mark_fhandle() with s_umount lock.

This form of fix was suggested by Amir in [1].
