Christoph HellwigandChristian Brauner e8767a3134 fs: remove do_sys_truncate
do_sys_truncate ist only used to implement ksys_truncate and the native
truncate syscalls.  Merge do_sys_truncate into ksys_truncate and return
int from it as it only returns 0 or negative errnos.

Christoph HellwigandChristian Brauner e43dce8a0b fs: fix archiecture-specific compat_ftruncate64
The "small" argument to do_sys_ftruncate indicates if > 32-bit size
should be reject, but all the arch-specific compat ftruncate64
implementations get this wrong.  Merge do_sys_ftruncate and
ksys_ftruncate, replace the integer as boolean small flag with a
descriptive one about LFS semantics, and use it correctly in the
architecture-specific ftruncate64 implementations.

Al Viro 541003b576 rename do_filp_open() to do_file_open()
"filp" thing never made sense; seeing that there are exactly 4 callers
in the entire tree (and it's neither exported nor even declared in
linux/*/*.h), there's no point keeping that ugliness.

FWIW, the 'filp' thing did originate in OSD&I; for some reason Tanenbaum
decided to call the object representing an opened file 'struct filp',
the last letter standing for 'position'.  In all Unices, Linux included,
the corresponding object had always been 'struct file'...

will pass the right thing to getname_flags() and filename_lookup()

Benjamin CoddingtonandChristian Brauner 977de00dfc VFS: move dentry_create() from fs/open.c to fs/namei.c
To prepare knfsd's helper dentry_create(), move it to namei.c so that it
can access static functions within.  Callers of dentry_create() can be
viewed as being mostly done with lookup, but still need to perform a few
final checks.  In order to use atomic_open() we want dentry_create() to
be able to access:

	- vfs_prepare_mode
	- may_o_create
	- atomic_open

.. all of which have static declarations.

Linus Torvalds 1b5dd29869 Merge tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.fd_prepare.fs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
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"

Linus Torvalds db74a7d02a Merge tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.directory.delegations' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull directory delegations update from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the work for recall-only directory delegations for
  knfsd.

  Add support for simple, recallable-only directory delegations. This
  was decided at the fall NFS Bakeathon where the NFS client and server
  maintainers discussed how to merge directory delegation support.

  The approach starts with recallable-only delegations for several reasons:

   1. RFC8881 has gaps that are being addressed in RFC8881bis. In
      particular, it requires directory position information for
      CB_NOTIFY callbacks, which is difficult to implement properly
      under Linux. The spec is being extended to allow that information
      to be omitted.

   2. Client-side support for CB_NOTIFY still lags. The client side
      involves heuristics about when to request a delegation.

   3. Early indication shows simple, recallable-only delegations can
      help performance. Anna Schumaker mentioned seeing a multi-minute
      speedup in xfstests runs with them enabled.

  With these changes, userspace can also request a read lease on a
  directory that will be recalled on conflicting accesses. This may be
  useful for applications like Samba. Users can disable leases
  altogether via the fs.leases-enable sysctl if needed.

  VFS changes:

   - Dedicated Type for Delegations

     Introduce struct delegated_inode to track inodes that may have
     delegations that need to be broken. This replaces the previous
     approach of passing raw inode pointers through the delegation
     breaking code paths, providing better type safety and clearer
     semantics for the delegation machinery.

   - Break parent directory delegations in open(..., O_CREAT) codepath

   - Allow mkdir to wait for delegation break on parent

   - Allow rmdir to wait for delegation break on parent

   - Add try_break_deleg calls for parents to vfs_link(), vfs_rename(),
     and vfs_unlink()

   - Make vfs_create(), vfs_mknod(), and vfs_symlink() break delegations
     on parent directory

   - Clean up argument list for vfs_create()

   - Expose delegation support to userland

  Filelock changes:

   - Make lease_alloc() take a flags argument

   - Rework the __break_lease API to use flags

   - Add struct delegated_inode

   - Push the S_ISREG check down to ->setlease handlers

   - Lift the ban on directory leases in generic_setlease

  NFSD changes:

   - Allow filecache to hold S_IFDIR files

   - Allow DELEGRETURN on directories

   - Wire up GET_DIR_DELEGATION handling

  Fixes:

   - Fix kernel-doc warnings in __fcntl_getlease

   - Add needed headers for new struct delegation definition"
