Linus Torvalds 6b5b72ac2c Merge tag 'vfs-7.2-rc1.directory.delegations' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs directory delegations from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the VFS prerequisites for supporting directory
  delegations in nfsd via CB_NOTIFY callbacks.

  The filelock core gains support for ignoring delegation breaks for
  directory change events together with an inode_lease_ignore_mask()
  helper, and fsnotify gains fsnotify_modify_mark_mask() and a
  FSNOTIFY_EVENT_RENAME data type.

  With this in place nfsd can request delegations on directories and set
  up inotify watches to trigger sending CB_NOTIFY events to clients
  instead of having every directory change break the delegation.

  New tracepoints are added to fsnotify() and to the start of
  break_lease(), and trace_break_lease_block() is passed the currently
  blocking lease instead of the new one.

  A follow-up fix moves the LEASE_BREAK_* flags out of
  #ifdef CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING to fix the build for CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n
  configurations"

AnonymeMeowandJan Kara 82c6dd2047 fanotify: allow reporting pidfds for reaped tasks
Fanotify used to refuse to report pidfds for reaped tasks by applying a
pid_has_task() check before calling pidfd_prepare(). This prevented
userspace from obtaining information about the task.

Register the event pid with pidfs when creating the fanotify event if
pidfd reporting was requested, so pidfd_prepare() can later create a
pidfd for the reaped task.

The FAN_REPORT_PIDFD and FAN_REPORT_TID flags used to be mutually
exclusive because by the time the pidfd support was introduced to
fanotify, pidfds could only be created for thread group leaders. Now
that the pidfd API supports thread-specific pidfds via PIDFD_THREAD,
this restriction can be lifted.

 "Fix livelocks in shrink_dcache_tree()

  If shrink_dcache_tree() finds a dentry in the middle of being killed

  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

      /* 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.

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.

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
