On 32-bit platforms, pgoff_t is 32 bits wide, so left-shifting
large arbitrary pgoff_t values by PAGE_SHIFT performs 32-bit arithmetic
and silently truncates the result for pages beyond the 4 GiB boundary.
Cast the page index to loff_t before shifting to produce a correct
64-bit byte offset.

Patch series "mm: vma flag tweaks".
The ongoing work around introducing non-system word VMA flags has
introduced a number of helper functions and macros to make life easier
when working with these flags and to make conversions from the legacy use
of VM_xxx flags more straightforward.
This series improves these to reduce confusion as to what they do and to
improve consistency and readability.
Firstly the series renames vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to
make it abundantly clear that this function tests whether any of the flags
are set (as opposed to vma_flags_test_all()).
It then renames vma_desc_test_flags() to vma_desc_test_any() for the same
reason. Note that we drop the 'flags' suffix here, as
vma_desc_test_any_flags() would be cumbersome and 'test' implies a flag
test.
Similarly, we rename vma_test_all_flags() to vma_test_all() for
consistency.
Next, we have a couple of instances (erofs, zonefs) where we are now
testing for vma_desc_test_any(desc, VMA_SHARED_BIT) &&
vma_desc_test_any(desc, VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT).
This is silly, so this series introduces vma_desc_test_all() so these
callers can instead invoke vma_desc_test_all(desc, VMA_SHARED_BIT,
VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT).
We then observe that quite a few instances of vma_flags_test_any() and
vma_desc_test_any() are in fact only testing against a single flag.
Using the _any() variant here is just confusing - 'any' of single item
reads strangely and is liable to cause confusion.
So in these instances the series reintroduces vma_flags_test() and
vma_desc_test() as helpers which test against a single flag.
The fact that vma_flags_t is a struct and that vma_flag_t utilises sparse
to avoid confusion with vm_flags_t makes it impossible for a user to
misuse these helpers without it getting flagged somewhere.
The series also updates __mk_vma_flags() and functions invoked by it to
explicitly mark them always inline to match expectation and to be
consistent with other VMA flag helpers.
It also renames vma_flag_set() to vma_flags_set_flag() (a function only
used by __mk_vma_flags()) to be consistent with other VMA flag helpers.
Finally it updates the VMA tests for each of these changes, and introduces
explicit tests for vma_flags_test() and vma_desc_test() to assert that
they behave as expected.
This patch (of 6):
On reflection, it's confusing to have vma_flags_test() and
vma_desc_test_flags() test whether any comma-separated VMA flag bit is
set, while also having vma_flags_test_all() and vma_test_all_flags()
separately test whether all flags are set.
Firstly, rename vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to eliminate this
confusion.
Secondly, since the VMA descriptor flag functions are becoming rather
cumbersome, prefer vma_desc_test*() to vma_desc_test_flags*(), and also
rename vma_desc_test_flags() to vma_desc_test_any().
Finally, rename vma_test_all_flags() to vma_test_all() to keep the
VMA-specific helper consistent with the VMA descriptor naming convention
and to help avoid confusion vs. vma_flags_test_all().
While we're here, also update whitespace to be consistent in helper
functions.

For file-backed mounts, metadata is fetched via the page cache of
backing inodes to avoid double caching and redundant copy ops out
of RO uptodate folios, which is used by Android APEXes, ComposeFS,
containerd. However, rw_verify_area() was missing prior to
metadata accesses.
Similar to vfs_iocb_iter_read(), fix this by:
- Enabling fanotify pre-content hooks on metadata accesses;
- security_file_permission() for security modules.
Verified that fanotify pre-content hooks now works correctly.

Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
"In this cycle, inode page cache sharing among filesystems on the same
machine is now supported, which is particularly useful for
high-density hosts running tens of thousands of containers.
In addition, we fully isolate the EROFS core on-disk format from other
optional encoded layouts since the core on-disk part is designed to be
simple, effective, and secure. Users can use the core format to build
unique golden immutable images and import their filesystem trees
directly from raw block devices via DMA, page-mapped DAX devices,
and/or file-backed mounts without having to worry about unnecessary
intrinsic consistency issues found in other generic filesystems by
design. However, the full vision is still working in progress and will
spend more time to achieve final goals.
There are other improvements and bug fixes as usual, as listed below:
- Support inode page cache sharing among filesystems
- Formally separate optional encoded (aka compressed) inode layouts
(and the implementations) from the EROFS core on-disk aligned plain
format for future zero-trust security usage
- Improve performance by caching the fact that an inode does not have
a POSIX ACL
- Improve LZ4 decompression error reporting

- Fix for invalid folio access:

Introduce `struct erofs_iomap_iter_ctx` to hold both `struct page *`
and `void *base`, avoiding bogus use of `kmap_to_page()` in
`erofs_iomap_end()`.
With this change, fiemap and bmap no longer need to read inline data.
Additionally, the upcoming page cache sharing mechanism requires
passing the backing inode pointer to `erofs_iomap_{begin,end}()`, as
I/O accesses must apply to backing inodes rather than anon inodes.

Add caller-provided callbacks for read and readahead so that it can be
used generically, especially by filesystems that are not block-based.
In particular, this:
* Modifies the read and readahead interface to take in a
struct iomap_read_folio_ctx that is publicly defined as:
struct iomap_read_folio_ctx {
const struct iomap_read_ops *ops;
struct folio *cur_folio;
struct readahead_control *rac;
void *read_ctx;
};
where struct iomap_read_ops is defined as:
struct iomap_read_ops {
int (*read_folio_range)(const struct iomap_iter *iter,
struct iomap_read_folio_ctx *ctx,
size_t len);
void (*read_submit)(struct iomap_read_folio_ctx *ctx);
};
read_folio_range() reads in the folio range and is required by the
caller to provide. read_submit() is optional and is used for
submitting any pending read requests.
* Modifies existing filesystems that use iomap for read and readahead to
use the new API, through the new statically inlined helpers
iomap_bio_read_folio() and iomap_bio_readahead(). There is no change
in functionality for those filesystems.

Pull mmap_prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we introduce f_op->mmap_prepare() in c84bf6dd2b ("mm:
introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback").
This is preferred to the existing f_op->mmap() hook as it does require
a VMA to be established yet, thus allowing the mmap logic to invoke
this hook far, far earlier, prior to inserting a VMA into the virtual
address space, or performing any other heavy handed operations.
This allows for much simpler unwinding on error, and for there to be a
single attempt at merging a VMA rather than having to possibly
reattempt a merge based on potentially altered VMA state.
Far more importantly, it prevents inappropriate manipulation of
incompletely initialised VMA state, which is something that has been
the cause of bugs and complexity in the past.
The intent is to gradually deprecate f_op->mmap, and in that vein this
series coverts the majority of file systems to using f_op->mmap_prepare.
Prerequisite steps are taken - firstly ensuring all checks for mmap
capabilities use the file_has_valid_mmap_hooks() helper rather than
directly checking for f_op->mmap (which is now not a valid check) and
secondly updating daxdev_mapping_supported() to not require a VMA
parameter to allow ext4 and xfs to be converted.
Commit bb666b7c27 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for
nested file systems") handles the nasty edge-case of nested file
systems like overlayfs, which introduces a compatibility shim to allow
f_op->mmap_prepare() to be invoked from an f_op->mmap() callback.
This allows for nested filesystems to continue to function correctly
with all file systems regardless of which callback is used. Once we
finally convert all file systems, this shim can be removed.
As a result, ecryptfs, fuse, and overlayfs remain unaltered so they
can nest all other file systems.
We additionally do not update resctl - as this requires an update to
remap_pfn_range() (or an alternative to it) which we defer to a later
series, equally we do not update cramfs which needs a mixed mapping
insertion with the same issue, nor do we update procfs, hugetlbfs,
syfs or kernfs all of which require VMAs for internal state and hooks.
We shall return to all of these later"

When attempting to use an archive file, such as APEX on android,
as a file-backed mount source, it fails because EROFS image within
the archive file does not start at offset 0. As a result, a loop
or a dm device is still needed to attach the image file at an
appropriate offset first. Similarly, if an EROFS image within a
block device does not start at offset 0, it cannot be mounted
directly either.
To address this issue, this patch adds a new mount option `fsoffset=x'
to accept a start offset for the primary device. The offset should be
aligned to the block size. EROFS will add this offset before performing
read requests.

The current 32-bit block addressing limits EROFS to a 16TiB maximum
volume size with 4KiB blocks. However, several new use cases now
require larger capacity support:
- Massive datasets for model training in order to boost random
sampling performance for each epoch;
- Object storage clients using EROFS direct passthrough.
This extends core on-disk structures to support 48-bit block addressing,
such as inodes, device slots, and inode chunks.
Additionally:
- Expand superblock root NID to 8-byte `rootnid_8b` to enable full
out-of-place update incremental builds;
- Introduce `epoch` field in the superblock as well as add `mtime`
field to 32-byte compact inodes for basic timestamp support.

It actually has been around for years: For containers and other sandbox
use cases, there will be thousands (and even more) of authenticated
(sub)images running on the same host, unlike OS images.
Of course, all scenarios can use the same EROFS on-disk format, but
bdev-backed mounts just work well for OS images since golden data is
dumped into real block devices. However, it's somewhat hard for
container runtimes to manage and isolate so many unnecessary virtual
block devices safely and efficiently [1]: they just look like a burden
to orchestrators and file-backed mounts are preferred indeed. There
were already enough attempts such as Incremental FS, the original
ComposeFS and PuzzleFS acting in the same way for immutable fses. As
for current EROFS users, ComposeFS, containerd and Android APEXs will
be directly benefited from it.
On the other hand, previous experimental feature "erofs over fscache"
was once also intended to provide a similar solution (inspired by
Incremental FS discussion [2]), but the following facts show file-backed
mounts will be a better approach:
- Fscache infrastructure has recently been moved into new Netfslib
which is an unexpected dependency to EROFS really, although it
originally claims "it could be used for caching other things such as
ISO9660 filesystems too." [3]
- It takes an unexpectedly long time to upstream Fscache/Cachefiles
enhancements. For example, the failover feature took more than
one year, and the deamonless feature is still far behind now;
- Ongoing HSM "fanotify pre-content hooks" [4] together with this will
perfectly supersede "erofs over fscache" in a simpler way since
developers (mainly containerd folks) could leverage their existing
caching mechanism entirely in userspace instead of strictly following
the predefined in-kernel caching tree hierarchy.
After "fanotify pre-content hooks" lands upstream to provide the same
functionality, "erofs over fscache" will be removed then (as an EROFS
internal improvement and EROFS will not have to bother with on-demand
fetching and/or caching improvements anymore.)

Pull more erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
"The main ones are metadata API conversion to byte offsets by Al Viro.
Another patch gets rid of unnecessary memory allocation out of DEFLATE
decompressor. The remaining one is a trivial cleanup.
- Convert metadata APIs to byte offsets
- Avoid allocating DEFLATE streams unnecessarily
- Some erofs_show_options() cleanup"
* tag 'erofs-for-6.10-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs:
erofs: avoid allocating DEFLATE streams before mounting
z_erofs_pcluster_begin(): don't bother with rounding position down
erofs: don't round offset down for erofs_read_metabuf()
erofs: don't align offset for erofs_read_metabuf() (simple cases)
erofs: mechanically convert erofs_read_metabuf() to offsets
erofs: clean up erofs_show_options()
Most of the callers of erofs_read_metabuf() have the following form:
block = erofs_blknr(sb, offset);
off = erofs_blkoff(sb, offset);
p = erofs_read_metabuf(...., erofs_pos(sb, block), ...);
if (IS_ERR(p))
return PTR_ERR(p);
q = p + off;
// no further uses of p, block or off.
The value passed to erofs_read_metabuf() is offset rounded down to block
size, i.e. offset - off. Passing offset as-is would increase the return
value by off in case of success and keep the return value unchanged in
in case of error. In other words, the same could be achieved by
q = erofs_read_metabuf(...., offset, ...);
if (IS_ERR(q))
return PTR_ERR(q);
This commit convert these simple cases.

Callers are happier that way, especially since we no longer need to
play with splitting offset into block number and offset within block,
passing the former to erofs_bread(), then adding the latter...
erofs_bread() always reads entire pages, anyway.

Pull block handle updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we changed opening of block devices, and opening a block
device would return a bdev_handle. This allowed us to implement
support for restricting and forbidding writes to mounted block
devices. It was accompanied by converting and adding helpers to
operate on bdev_handles instead of plain block devices.
That was already a good step forward but ultimately it isn't necessary
to have special purpose helpers for opening block devices internally
that return a bdev_handle.
Fundamentally, opening a block device internally should just be
equivalent to opening files. So now all internal opens of block
devices return files just as a userspace open would. Instead of
introducing a separate indirection into bdev_open_by_*() via struct
bdev_handle bdev_file_open_by_*() is made to just return a struct
file. Opening and closing a block device just becomes equivalent to
opening and closing a file.
This all works well because internally we already have a pseudo fs for
block devices and so opening block devices is simple. There's a few
places where we needed to be careful such as during boot when the
kernel is supposed to mount the rootfs directly without init doing it.
Here we need to take care to ensure that we flush out any asynchronous
file close. That's what we already do for opening, unpacking, and
closing the initramfs. So nothing new here.
The equivalence of opening and closing block devices to regular files
is a win in and of itself. But it also has various other advantages.
We can remove struct bdev_handle completely. Various low-level helpers
are now private to the block layer. Other helpers were simply
removable completely.
A follow-up series that is already reviewed build on this and makes it
possible to remove bdev->bd_inode and allows various clean ups of the
buffer head code as well. All places where we stashed a bdev_handle
now just stash a file and use simple accessors to get to the actual
block device which was already the case for bdev_handle"

There are mainly two reasons that thp_get_unmapped_area() should be
used for EROFS as other filesystems:
- It's needed to enable PMD mappings as a FSDAX filesystem, see
commit 74d2fad133 ("thp, dax: add thp_get_unmapped_area for pmd
mappings");
- It's useful together with large folios and
CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS which enable THPs for mmapped files
(e.g. shared libraries) even without FSDAX. See commit 1854bc6e24
("mm/readahead: Align file mappings for non-DAX").
