Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
- Store ring provided buffers locally for the users, rather than stuff
them into struct io_kiocb.
These types of buffers must always be fully consumed or recycled in
the current context, and leaving them in struct io_kiocb is hence not
a good ideas as that struct has a vastly different life time.
Basically just an architecture cleanup that can help prevent issues
with ring provided buffers in the future.
- Support for mixed CQE sizes in the same ring.
Before this change, a CQ ring either used the default 16b CQEs, or it
was setup with 32b CQE using IORING_SETUP_CQE32. For use cases where
a few 32b CQEs were needed, this caused everything else to use big
CQEs. This is wasteful both in terms of memory usage, but also memory
bandwidth for the posted CQEs.
With IORING_SETUP_CQE_MIXED, applications may use request types that
post both normal 16b and big 32b CQEs on the same ring.
- Add helpers for async data management, to make it harder for opcode
handlers to mess it up.
- Add support for multishot for uring_cmd, which ublk can use. This
helps improve efficiency, by providing a persistent request type that
can trigger multiple CQEs.
- Add initial support for ring feature querying.
We had basic support for probe operations, but the API isn't great.
Rather than expand that, add support for QUERY which is easily
expandable and can cover a lot more cases than the existing probe
support. This will help applications get a better idea of what
operations are supported on a given host.
- zcrx improvements from Pavel:
- Improve refill entry alignment for better caching
- Various cleanups, especially around deduplicating normal
memory vs dmabuf setup.
- Generalisation of the niov size (Patch 12). It's still hard
coded to PAGE_SIZE on init, but will let the user to specify
the rx buffer length on setup.
- Syscall / synchronous bufer return. It'll be used as a slow
fallback path for returning buffers when the refill queue is
full. Useful for tolerating slight queue size misconfiguration
or with inconsistent load.
- Accounting more memory to cgroups.
- Additional independent cleanups that will also be useful for
mutli-area support.

Pull vfs workqueue updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains various workqueue changes affecting the filesystem
layer.
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work()
the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies
to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that
makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This replaces the use of system_wq and system_unbound_wq. system_wq is
a per-CPU workqueue which isn't very obvious from the name and
system_unbound_wq is to be used when locality is not required.
So this renames system_wq to system_percpu_wq, and system_unbound_wq
to system_dfl_wq.
This also adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to allow the fs subsystem users to
explicitly request the use of per-CPU behavior. Both WQ_UNBOUND and
WQ_PERCPU flags coexist for one release cycle to allow callers to
transition their calls. WQ_UNBOUND will be removed in a next release
cycle"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Add "initramfs_options" parameter to set initramfs mount options.
This allows to add specific mount options to the rootfs to e.g.,
limit the memory size
- Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2()
Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2. This flag prevents the SIGPIPE
signal from being raised when writing on disconnected pipes or
sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and
converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets
- Allow to pass pid namespace as procfs mount option
Ever since the introduction of pid namespaces, procfs has had very
implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs
mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active
pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has
been constructed)
This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was
required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns
of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include:
* In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes
creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user
namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested
containers would fail to mount procfs)
But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot
just one-shot this using mount(2)
* Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container
before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues
in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in
the pidns can interact with your container runtime process)
While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an
issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind
of unfortunate
Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to
just specify the pidns they want. So this pull request contains
changes to implement a new "pidns" argument which can be set
using fsconfig(2):
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);
or classic mount(2) / mount(8):
// mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");

The fuse_request_{send,end} tracepoints capture the value of
req->in.h.unique in the trace output. It would be really nice if we
could use this to match a request to its response for debugging and
latency analysis, but the call to trace_fuse_request_send occurs before
the unique id has been set:
fuse_request_send: connection 8388608 req 0 opcode 1 (FUSE_LOOKUP) len 107
fuse_request_end: connection 8388608 req 6 len 16 error -2
(Notice that req moves from 0 to 6)
Move the callsites to trace_fuse_request_send to after the unique id has
been set by introducing a helper to do that for standard fuse_req
requests. FUSE_FORGET requests are not covered by this because they
appear to be synthesized into the event stream without a fuse_req
object and are never replied to.
Requests that are aborted without ever having been submitted to the fuse
server retain the behavior that only the fuse_request_end tracepoint
shows up in the trace record, and with req==0.

I observed a hang when running generic/323 against a fuseblk server.
This test opens a file, initiates a lot of AIO writes to that file
descriptor, and closes the file descriptor before the writes complete.
Unsurprisingly, the AIO exerciser threads are mostly stuck waiting for
responses from the fuseblk server:
# cat /proc/372265/task/372313/stack

[<0>] do_syscall_64+0x37/0xf0
[<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53
But the /weird/ part is that the fuseblk server threads are waiting for
responses from itself:
# cat /proc/372210/task/372232/stack
[<0>] request_wait_answer+0x1fe/0x2a0 [fuse]
[<0>] __fuse_simple_request+0xd3/0x2b0 [fuse]

[<0>] do_syscall_64+0x43/0xf0
[<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53
The fuseblk server is fuse2fs so there's nothing all that exciting in
the server itself. So why is the fuse server calling fuse_file_put?
The commit message for the fstest sheds some light on that:
"By closing the file descriptor before calling io_destroy, you pretty
much guarantee that the last put on the ioctx will be done in interrupt
context (during I/O completion).
Aha. AIO fgets a new struct file from the fd when it queues the ioctx.
The completion of the FUSE_WRITE command from userspace causes the fuse
server to call the AIO completion function. The completion puts the
struct file, queuing a delayed fput to the fuse server task. When the
fuse server task returns to userspace, it has to run the delayed fput,
which in the case of a fuseblk server, it does synchronously.
Sending the FUSE_RELEASE command sychronously from fuse server threads
is a bad idea because a client program can initiate enough simultaneous
AIOs such that all the fuse server threads end up in delayed_fput, and
now there aren't any threads left to handle the queued fuse commands.
Fix this by only using asynchronous fputs when closing files, and leave
a comment explaining why.

out a separate io_uring_cmd_done32() helper for ->uring_cmd()

it when is_cqe32 is passed as false. So drop the parameter from

possible to return an extra value beyond the 32-bit CQE result.

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
system_wq is a per-CPU worqueue, yet nothing in its name tells about that
CPU affinity constraint, which is very often not required by users.
Make it clear by adding a system_percpu_wq to all the fs subsystem.
The old wq will be kept for a few release cylces.

Patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t".
At some point struct page will be separated from struct slab and struct
folio. This is a step towards that by introducing a type for the 'flags'
word of all three structures. This gives us a certain amount of type
safety by establishing that some of these unsigned longs are different
from other unsigned longs in that they contain things like node ID,
section number and zone number in the upper bits. That lets us have
functions that can be easily called by anyone who has a slab, folio or
page (but not easily by anyone else) to get the node or zone.
There's going to be some unusual merge problems with this as some odd bits
of the kernel decide they want to print out the flags value or something
similar by writing page->flags and now they'll need to write page->flags.f
instead. That's most of the churn here. Maybe we should be removing
these things from the debug output?
This patch (of 11):
Wrap the unsigned long flags in a typedef. In upcoming patches, this will
provide a strong hint that you can't just pass a random unsigned long to
functions which take this as an argument.

Some fuse servers need to prune their caches, which can only be done if the
kernel's own dentry/inode caches are pruned first to avoid dangling
references.
Add FUSE_NOTIFY_PRUNE, which takes an array of node ID's to try and get rid
of. Inodes with active references are skipped.
A similar functionality is already provided by FUSE_NOTIFY_INVAL_ENTRY with
the FUSE_EXPIRE_ONLY flag. Differences in the interface are
FUSE_NOTIFY_INVAL_ENTRY:
- can only prune one dentry
- dentry is determined by parent ID and name
- if inode has multiple aliases (cached hard links), then they would have
to be invalidated individually to be able to get rid of the inode
FUSE_NOTIFY_PRUNE:
- can prune multiple inodes
- inodes determined by their node ID
- aliases are taken care of automatically

Remove extra logic in fuse_readpages_end() that checks against null
folio mappings. This was added in commit ce534fb052 ("fuse: allow
splice to move pages"):
"Since the remove_from_page_cache() + add_to_page_cache_locked()
are non-atomic it is possible that the page cache is repopulated in
between the two and add_to_page_cache_locked() will fail. This
could be fixed by creating a new atomic replace_page_cache_page()
function.
fuse_readpages_end() needed to be reworked so it works even if
page->mapping is NULL for some or all pages which can happen if the
add_to_page_cache_locked() failed."
Commit ef6a3c6311 ("mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function") added
atomic page cache replacement, which means the check against null
mappings can be removed.

FUSE_INIT has always been asynchronous with mount. That means that the
server processed this request after the mount syscall returned.
This means that FUSE_INIT can't supply the root inode's ID, hence it
currently has a hardcoded value. There are other limitations such as not
being able to perform getxattr during mount, which is needed by selinux.
To remove these limitations allow server to process FUSE_INIT while
initializing the in-core super block for the fuse filesystem. This can
only be done if the server is prepared to handle this, so add
FUSE_DEV_IOC_SYNC_INIT ioctl, which
a) lets the server know whether this feature is supported, returning
ENOTTY othewrwise.
b) lets the kernel know to perform a synchronous initialization
The implementation is slightly tricky, since fuse_dev/fuse_conn are set up
only during super block creation. This is solved by setting the private
data of the fuse device file to a special value ((struct fuse_dev *) 1) and
waiting for this to be turned into a proper fuse_dev before commecing with
operations on the device file.

copy_file_range, which is restricted to uint32_t. But the COPY_FILE_RANGE
interface supports a 64-bit size copies and there's no reason why copies

Introduce a new op COPY_FILE_RANGE_64, which is identical, except the
number of bytes copied is returned in a 64-bit value.
If the fuse server does not support COPY_FILE_RANGE_64, fall back to

On regular fuse filesystems, i_blkbits is set to PAGE_SHIFT which means
any iomap partial writes will mark the entire folio as uptodate. However
fuseblk filesystems work differently and allow the blocksize to be less
than the page size. As such, this may lead to data corruption if fuseblk
sets its blocksize to less than the page size, uses the writeback cache,
and does a partial write, then a read and the read happens before the
write has undergone writeback, since the folio will not be marked
uptodate from the partial write so the read will read in the entire
folio from disk, which will overwrite the partial write.
The long-term solution for this, which will also be needed for fuse to
enable large folios with the writeback cache on, is to have fuse also
use iomap for folio reads, but until that is done, the cleanest
workaround is to use the page size for fuseblk's internal kernel inode
blksize/blkbits values while maintaining current behavior for stat().
This was verified using ntfs-3g:
$ sudo mkfs.ntfs -f -c 512 /dev/vdd1
$ sudo ntfs-3g /dev/vdd1 ~/fuseblk
$ stat ~/fuseblk/hi.txt

As pointed out by Miklos[1], in the fuse_update_get_attr() path, the
attributes returned to stat may be cached values instead of fresh ones
fetched from the server. In the case where the server returned a
modified blocksize value, we need to cache it and reflect it back to
stat if values are not re-fetched since we now no longer directly change
inode->i_blkbits.

With fuse now using iomap for writeback handling, inode blkbits changes
are problematic because iomap relies on inode->i_blkbits for its
internal bitmap logic. Currently we change inode->i_blkbits in fuse to
match the attr->blksize value passed in by the server.
This commit keeps inode->i_blkbits constant in fuse. Any attr->blksize
values passed in by the server will not update inode->i_blkbits. The
client-side behavior for stat is unaffected, stat will still reflect the
blocksize passed in by the server.

Remove incorrect page alignment check for the writeback len arg in
fuse_iomap_writeback_range(). len will always be block-aligned as
passed in by iomap.
On regular fuse filesystems, i_blkbits is set to PAGE_SHIFT so this is
not a problem but for fuseblk filesystems, the block size is set to a
default of 512 bytes or a block size passed in at mount time.
Please note that non-page-aligned lengths are fine for the logic in
fuse_iomap_writeback_range(). The check was originally added as a
safeguard to detect conspicuously wrong ranges.

Pull vfs iomap updates from Christian Brauner:
- Refactor the iomap writeback code and split the generic and ioend/bio
based writeback code.
There are two methods that define the split between the generic
writeback code, and the implemementation of it, and all knowledge of
ioends and bios now sits below that layer.
- Add fuse iomap support for buffered writes and dirty folio writeback.
This is needed so that granular uptodate and dirty tracking can be
used in fuse when large folios are enabled. This has two big
advantages. For writes, instead of the entire folio needing to be
read into the page cache, only the relevant portions need to be. For
writeback, only the dirty portions need to be written back instead of
the entire folio.

Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls
after lengthy discussions.
Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to
the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have
started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that
makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related
operations.
These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on
special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects.
XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new
inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent
directory.
The project is created from userspace by opening and calling
FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special
files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left
with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota
accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but
in the case when special files are created in the directory with
already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended
attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without
attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a
possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn,
prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing
files.
In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of
additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the
legacy ioctls anymore"

Pull misc VFS updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Add ext4 IOCB_DONTCACHE support
This refactors the address_space_operations write_begin() and
write_end() callbacks to take const struct kiocb * as their first
argument, allowing IOCB flags such as IOCB_DONTCACHE to propagate
to the filesystem's buffered I/O path.
Ext4 is updated to implement handling of the IOCB_DONTCACHE flag
and advertises support via the FOP_DONTCACHE file operation flag.
Additionally, the i915 driver's shmem write paths are updated to
bypass the legacy write_begin/write_end interface in favor of
directly calling write_iter() with a constructed synchronous kiocb.
Another i915 change replaces a manual write loop with
kernel_write() during GEM shmem object creation.
Cleanups:
- don't duplicate vfs_open() in kernel_file_open()
- proc_fd_getattr(): don't bother with S_ISDIR() check
- fs/ecryptfs: replace snprintf with sysfs_emit in show function
- vfs: Remove unnecessary list_for_each_entry_safe() from
evict_inodes()
- filelock: add new locks_wake_up_waiter() helper
- fs: Remove three arguments from block_write_end()
- VFS: change old_dir and new_dir in struct renamedata to dentrys
- netfs: Remove unused declaration netfs_queue_write_request()
Fixes:
- eventpoll: Fix semi-unbounded recursion
- eventpoll: fix sphinx documentation build warning
- fs/read_write: Fix spelling typo
- fs: annotate data race between poll_schedule_timeout() and
pollwake()
- fs/pipe: set FMODE_NOWAIT in create_pipe_files()
- docs/vfs: update references to i_mutex to i_rwsem
- fs/buffer: remove comment about hard sectorsize

Pull simple_recursive_removal() update from Al Viro:
"Removing subtrees of kernel filesystems is done in quite a few places;
unfortunately, it's easy to get wrong. A number of open-coded attempts
are out there, with varying amount of bogosities.
simple_recursive_removal() had been introduced for doing that with all
precautions needed; it does an equivalent of rm -rf, with sufficient
locking, eviction of anything mounted on top of the subtree, etc.
This series converts a bunch of open-coded instances to using that"

Pull dentry d_flags updates from Al Viro:
"The current exclusion rules for dentry->d_flags stores are rather
unpleasant. The basic rules are simple:
- stores to dentry->d_flags are OK under dentry->d_lock
- stores to dentry->d_flags are OK in the dentry constructor, before
becomes potentially visible to other threads
Unfortunately, there's a couple of exceptions to that, and that's
where the headache comes from.
The main PITA comes from d_set_d_op(); that primitive sets ->d_op of
dentry and adjusts the flags that correspond to presence of individual
methods. It's very easy to misuse; existing uses _are_ safe, but proof
of correctness is brittle.
Use in __d_alloc() is safe (we are within a constructor), but we might
as well precalculate the initial value of 'd_flags' when we set the
default ->d_op for given superblock and set 'd_flags' directly instead
of messing with that helper.
The reasons why other uses are safe are bloody convoluted; I'm not
going to reproduce it here. See [1] for gory details, if you care. The
critical part is using d_set_d_op() only just prior to
d_splice_alias(), which makes a combination of d_splice_alias() with
setting ->d_op, etc a natural replacement primitive.
Better yet, if we go that way, it's easy to take setting ->d_op and
modifying 'd_flags' under ->d_lock, which eliminates the headache as
far as 'd_flags' exclusion rules are concerned. Other exceptions are
minor and easy to deal with.
What this series does:
- d_set_d_op() is no longer available; instead a new primitive
(d_splice_alias_ops()) is provided, equivalent to combination of
d_set_d_op() and d_splice_alias().
- new field of struct super_block - 's_d_flags'. This sets the
default value of 'd_flags' to be used when allocating dentries on
this filesystem.
- new primitive for setting 's_d_op': set_default_d_op(). This
replaces stores to 's_d_op' at mount time.
All in-tree filesystems converted; out-of-tree ones will get caught
by the compiler ('s_d_op' is renamed, so stores to it will be
caught). 's_d_flags' is set by the same primitive to match the
's_d_op'.
- a lot of filesystems had sb->s_d_op->d_delete equal to
always_delete_dentry; that is equivalent to setting
DCACHE_DONTCACHE in 'd_flags', so such filesystems can bloody well
set that bit in 's_d_flags' and drop 'd_delete()' from
dentry_operations.
In quite a few cases that results in empty dentry_operations, which
means that we can get rid of those.
- kill simple_dentry_operations - not needed anymore
- massage d_alloc_parallel() to get rid of the other exception wrt
'd_flags' stores - we can set DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP as soon as we
allocate the new dentry; no need to delay that until we commit to
using the sucker.
As the result, 'd_flags' stores are all either under ->d_lock or done
before the dentry becomes visible in any shared data structures"

Hook into iomap_invalidate_folio() so that if the entire folio is being
invalidated during truncation, the dirty state is cleared and the folio
doesn't get written back. As well the folio's corresponding ifs struct
will get freed.
Hook into iomap_is_partially_uptodate() since iomap tracks uptodateness
granularly when it does buffered writes.
