Revert "pstore: migrate to crypto acomp interface"
This reverts commit e4f0a7ec58.
When using this new interface, both efi_pstore and ramoops
backends are unable to properly decompress dmesg if using
zstd, lz4 and lzo algorithms (and maybe more). It does succeed
with deflate though.
The message observed in the kernel log is:
[2.328828] pstore: crypto_acomp_decompress failed, ret = -22!
The pstore infrastructure is able to collect the dmesg with
both backends tested, but since decompression fails it's
unreadable. With this revert everything is back to normal.

This patch avoids threads live-locking for hours when a large number
threads are competing over the last few free extents as they blocks
getting added and removed from preallocation pools. From our bug
reporter:
A reliable way for triggering this has multiple writers
continuously write() to files when the filesystem is full, while
small amounts of space are freed (e.g. by truncating a large file
-1MiB at a time). In the local filesystem, this can be done by
simply not checking the return code of write (0) and/or the error
(ENOSPACE) that is set. Over NFS with an async mount, even clients
with proper error checking will behave this way since the linux NFS
client implementation will not propagate the server errors [the
write syscalls immediately return success] until the file handle is
closed. This leads to a situation where NFS clients send a
continuous stream of WRITE rpcs which result in ERRNOSPACE -- but
since the client isn't seeing this, the stream of writes continues
at maximum network speed.
When some space does appear, multiple writers will all attempt to
claim it for their current write. For NFS, we may see dozens to
hundreds of threads that do this.
The real-world scenario of this is database backup tooling (in
particular, github.com/mdkent/percona-xtrabackup) which may write
large files (>1TiB) to NFS for safe keeping. Some temporary files
are written, rewound, and read back -- all before closing the file
handle (the temp file is actually unlinked, to trigger automatic
deletion on close/crash.) An application like this operating on an
async NFS mount will not see an error code until TiB have been
written/read.
The lockup was observed when running this database backup on large
filesystems (64 TiB in this case) with a high number of block
groups and no free space. Fragmentation is generally not a factor
in this filesystem (~thousands of large files, mostly contiguous
except for the parts written while the filesystem is at capacity.)

Using rbtree for sorting groups by average fragment size is relatively
expensive (needs rbtree update on every block freeing or allocation) and
leads to wide spreading of allocations because selection of block group
is very sentitive both to changes in free space and amount of blocks
allocated. Furthermore selecting group with the best matching average
fragment size is not necessary anyway, even more so because the
variability of fragment sizes within a group is likely large so average
is not telling much. We just need a group with large enough average
fragment size so that we have high probability of finding large enough
free extent and we don't want average fragment size to be too big so
that we are likely to find free extent only somewhat larger than what we
need.
So instead of maintaing rbtree of groups sorted by fragment size keep
bins (lists) or groups where average fragment size is in the interval
[2^i, 2^(i+1)). This structure requires less updates on block allocation
/ freeing, generally avoids chaotic spreading of allocations into block
groups, and still is able to quickly (even faster that the rbtree)
provide a block group which is likely to have a suitably sized free
space extent.
This patch reduces number of block groups used when untarring archive
with medium sized files (size somewhat above 64k which is default
mballoc limit for avoiding locality group preallocation) to about half
and thus improves write speeds for eMMC flash significantly.

Curently we don't use any preallocation when a file is already closed
when allocating blocks (from writeback code when converting delayed
allocation). However for small files, using locality group preallocation
is actually desirable as that is not specific to a particular file.
Rather it is a method to pack small files together to reduce
fragmentation and for that the fact the file is closed is actually even
stronger hint the file would benefit from packing. So change the logic
to allow locality group preallocation in this case.

mb_set_largest_free_order() updates lists containing groups with largest
chunk of free space of given order. The way it updates it leads to
always moving the group to the tail of the list. Thus allocations
looking for free space of given order effectively end up cycling through
all groups (and due to initialization in last to first order). This
spreads allocations among block groups which reduces performance for
rotating disks or low-end flash media. Change
mb_set_largest_free_order() to only update lists if the order of the
largest free chunk in the group changed.

One of the side-effects of mb_optimize_scan was that the optimized
functions to select next group to try were called even before we tried
the goal group. As a result we no longer allocate files close to
corresponding inodes as well as we don't try to expand currently
allocated extent in the same group. This results in reaim regression
with workfile.disk workload of upto 8% with many clients on my test
machine:
baseline mb_optimize_scan
Hmean disk-1 2114.16 ( 0.00%) 2099.37 ( -0.70%)
Hmean disk-41 87794.43 ( 0.00%) 83787.47 * -4.56%*

Hmean disk-321 255844.84 ( 0.00%) 245412.84 * -4.08%*
Also this is causing huge regression (time increased by a factor of 5 or
so) when untarring archive with lots of small files on some eMMC storage
cards.

Pull vfs fix from Christian Brauner:
"Beginning of the merge window we introduced the vfs{g,u}id_t types in
b27c82e129 ("attr: port attribute changes to new types") and changed
various codepaths over including chown_common().
When userspace passes -1 for an ownership change the ownership fields
in struct iattr stay uninitialized. Usually this is fine because any
code making use of any fields in struct iattr must check the
->ia_valid field whether the value of interest has been initialized.
That's true for all struct iattr passing code.
However, over the course of the last year with more heavy use of KMSAN
we found quite a few places that got this wrong. A recent one I fixed
was 3cb6ee9914 ("9p: only copy valid iattrs in 9P2000.L setattr
implementation").
But we also have LSM hooks. Actually we have two. The first one is
security_inode_setattr() in notify_change() which does the right thing
and passes the full struct iattr down to LSMs and thus LSMs can check
whether it is initialized.
But then we also have security_path_chown() which passes down a path
argument and the target ownership as the filesystem would see it. For
the latter we now generate the target values based on struct iattr and
pass it down. However, when userspace passes -1 then struct iattr
isn't initialized.
This patch simply initializes ->ia_vfs{g,u}id with INVALID_VFS{G,U}ID
so the hook continue to see invalid ownership when -1 is passed from
userspace. The only LSM that cares about the actual values is Tomoyo.
The vfs codepaths don't look at these fields without ->ia_valid being
set so there's no harm in initializing ->ia_vfs{g,u}id. Arguably this
is also safer since we can't end up copying valid ownership values
when invalid ownership values should be passed.
This only affects mainline. No kernel has been released with this and
thus no backport is needed. The commit is thus marked with a Fixes:

Beginning of the merge window we introduced the vfs{g,u}id_t types in
b27c82e129 ("attr: port attribute changes to new types") and changed
various codepaths over including chown_common().
During that change we forgot to account for the case were the passed
ownership value is -1. In this case the ownership fields in struct iattr
aren't initialized but we rely on them being initialized by the time we
generate the ownership to pass down to the LSMs. All the major LSMs
don't care about the ownership values at all. Only Tomoyo uses them and
so it took a while for syzbot to unearth this issue.
Fix this by initializing the ownership fields and do it within the
retry_deleg block. While notify_change() doesn't alter the ownership
fields currently we shouldn't rely on it.
Since no kernel has been released with these changes this does not
needed to be backported to any stable kernels.
