Pull fscrypt update from Eric Biggers:
"Add support for 'hardware-wrapped inline encryption keys' to fscrypt.
When enabled on supported platforms, this feature protects file
contents keys from certain attacks, such as cold boot attacks.
This feature uses the block layer support for wrapped keys which was
merged in 6.15. Wrapped key support has existed out-of-tree in Android
for a long time, and it's finally ready for upstream now that there is
a platform on which it works end-to-end with upstream.
Specifically, it works on the Qualcomm SM8650 HDK, using the Qualcomm
ICE (Inline Crypto Engine) and HWKM (Hardware Key Manager). The
corresponding driver support is included in the SCSI tree for 6.16.
Validation for this feature includes two new tests that were already
merged into xfstests (generic/368 and generic/369)"

Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
"In this cycle, Intel QAT hardware accelerators are supported to
improve DEFLATE decompression performance. I've tested it with the
enwik9 dataset of 1 MiB pclusters on our Intel Sapphire Rapids
bare-metal server and a PL0 ESSD, and the sequential read performance
even surpasses LZ4 software decompression on this setup.
In addition, a `fsoffset` mount option is introduced for file-backed
mounts to specify the filesystem offset in order to adapt customized
container formats.
And other improvements and minor cleanups. Summary:
- Add a `fsoffset` mount option to specify the filesystem offset
- Support Intel QAT accelerators to boost up the DEFLATE algorithm
- Initialize per-CPU workers and CPU hotplug hooks lazily to avoid
unnecessary overhead when EROFS is not mounted
- Fix file handle encoding for 64-bit NIDs

Pull bcachefs updates from Kent Overstreet:
- Poisoned extents can now be moved: this lets us handle bitrotted data
without deleting it. For now, reading from poisoned extents only
returns -EIO: in the future we'll have an API for specifying "read
this data even if there were bitflips".
- Incompatible features may now be enabled at runtime, via
"opts/version_upgrade" in sysfs. Toggle it to incompatible, and then
toggle it back - option changes via the sysfs interface are
persistent.
- Various changes to support deployable disk images:
- RO mounts now use less memory
- Images may be stripped of alloc info, particularly useful for
slimming them down if they will primarily be mounted RO. Alloc
info will be automatically regenerated on first RW mount, and
this is quite fast
- Filesystem images generated with 'bcachefs image' will be
automatically resized the first time they're mounted on a larger
device
The images 'bcachefs image' generates with compression enabled have
been comparable in size to those generated by squashfs and erofs -
but you get a full RW capable filesystem
- Major error message improvements for btree node reads, data reads,
and elsewhere. We now build up a single error message that lists all
the errors encountered, actions taken to repair, and success/failure
of the IO. This extends to other error paths that may kick off other
actions, e.g. scheduling recovery passes: actions we took because of
an error are included in that error message, with
grouping/indentation so we can see what caused what.
- New option, 'rebalance_on_ac_only'. Does exactly what the name
suggests, quite handy with background compression.
- Repair/self healing:
- We can now kick off recovery passes and run them in the
background if we detect errors. Currently, this is just used by
code that walks backpointers. We now also check for missing
backpointers at runtime and run check_extents_to_backpointers if
required. The messy 6.14 upgrade left missing backpointers for
some users, and this will correct that automatically instead of
requiring a manual fsck - some users noticed this as copygc
spinning and not making progress.
In the future, as more recovery passes come online, we'll be able
to repair and recover from nearly anything - except for
unreadable btree nodes, and that's why you're using replication,
of course - without shutting down the filesystem.
- There's a new recovery pass, for checking the rebalance_work
btree, which tracks extents that rebalance will process later.
- Hardening:
- Close the last known hole in btree iterator/btree locking
assertions: path->should_be_locked paths must stay locked until
the end of the transaction. This shook out a few bugs, including
a performance issue that was causing unnecessary path_upgrade
transaction restarts.
- Performance:
- Faster snapshot deletion: this is an incompatible feature, as it
requires new sentinal values, for safety. Snapshot deletion no
longer has to do a full metadata scan, it now just scans the
inodes btree: if an extent/dirent/xattr is present for a given
snapshot ID, we already require that an inode be present with
that same snapshot ID.
If/when users hit scalability limits again (ridiculously huge
filesystems with lots of inodes, and many sparse snapshots), let
me know - the next step will be to add an index from snapshot ID
-> inode number, which won't be too hard.
- Faster device removal: the "scan for pointers to this device" no
longer does a full metadata scan, instead it walks backpointers.
Like fast snapshot deletion this is another incompat feature: it
also requires a new sentinal value, because we don't want to
reuse these device IDs until after a fsck.
- We're now coalescing redundant accounting updates prior to
transaction commit, taking some pressure off the journal. Shortly
we'll also be doing multiple extent updates in a transaction in
the main write path, which combined with the previous should
drastically cut down on the amount of metadata updates we have to
journal.
- Stack usage improvements: All allocator state has been moved off the
stack
- Debug improvements:
- enumerated refcounts: The debug code previously used for
filesystem write refs is now a small library, and used for other
heavily used refcounts. Different users of a refcount are
enumerated, making it much easier to debug refcount issues.
- Async object debugging: There's a new kconfig option that makes
various async objects (different types of bios, data updates,
write ops, etc.) visible in debugfs, and it should be fast enough
to leave on in production.
- Various sets of assertions no longer require
CONFIG_BCACHEFS_DEBUG, instead they're controlled by module
parameters and static keys, meaning users won't need to compile
custom kernels as often to help debug issues.
- bch2_trans_kmalloc() calls can be tracked (there's a new kconfig
option). With it on you can check the btree_transaction_stats in
debugfs to see the bch2_trans_kmalloc() calls a transaction did
when it used the most memory.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Use folios for symlinks in the page cache
FUSE already uses folios for its symlinks. Mirror that conversion
in the generic code and the NFS code. That lets us get rid of a few
folio->page->folio conversions in this path, and some of the few
remaining users of read_cache_page() / read_mapping_page()
- Try and make a few filesystem operations killable on the VFS
inode->i_mutex level
- Add sysctl vfs_cache_pressure_denom for bulk file operations
Some workloads need to preserve more dentries than we currently
allow through out sysctl interface
A HDFS servers with 12 HDDs per server, on a HDFS datanode startup
involves scanning all files and caching their metadata (including
dentries and inodes) in memory. Each HDD contains approximately 2
million files, resulting in a total of ~20 million cached dentries
after initialization
To minimize dentry reclamation, they set vfs_cache_pressure to 1.
Despite this configuration, memory pressure conditions can still
trigger reclamation of up to 50% of cached dentries, reducing the
cache from 20 million to approximately 10 million entries. During
the subsequent cache rebuild period, any HDFS datanode restart
operation incurs substantial latency penalties until full cache
recovery completes
To maintain service stability, more dentries need to be preserved
during memory reclamation. The current minimum reclaim ratio (1/100
of total dentries) remains too aggressive for such workload. This
patch introduces vfs_cache_pressure_denom for more granular cache
pressure control
The configuration [vfs_cache_pressure=1,
vfs_cache_pressure_denom=10000] effectively maintains the full 20
million dentry cache under memory pressure, preventing datanode
restart performance degradation
- Avoid some jumps in inode_permission() using likely()/unlikely()
- Avid a memory access which is most likely a cache miss when
descending into devcgroup_inode_permission()
- Add fastpath predicts for stat() and fdput()
- Anonymous inodes currently don't come with a proper mode causing
issues in the kernel when we want to add useful VFS debug assert.
Fix that by giving them a proper mode and masking it off when we
report it to userspace which relies on them not having any mode
- Anonymous inodes currently allow to change inode attributes because
the VFS falls back to simple_setattr() if i_op->setattr isn't
implemented. This means the ownership and mode for every single
user of anon_inode_inode can be changed. Block that as it's either
useless or actively harmful. If specific ownership is needed the

"This contains cleanups for the lookup_one*() family of helpers.
We expose a set of functions with names containing "lookup_one_len"

"len". It's rater a historical accident that can be confusing.
The functions without "_len" take a "mnt_idmap" pointer. This is found
in the "vfsmount" and that is an important question when choosing
which to use: do you have a vfsmount, or are you "inside" the
filesystem. A related question is "is permission checking relevant
here?".
nfsd and cachefiles *do* have a vfsmount but *don't* use the non-_len
functions. They pass nop_mnt_idmap and refuse to work on filesystems
which have any other idmap.
This work changes nfsd and cachefile to use the lookup_one family of
functions and to explictily pass &nop_mnt_idmap which is consistent
with all other vfs interfaces used where &nop_mnt_idmap is explicitly
passed.
The remaining uses of the "_one" functions do not require permission
checks so these are renamed to be "_noperm" and the permission
checking is removed.
This series also changes these lookup function to take a qstr instead
of separate name and len. In many cases this simplifies the call"

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.

Currently, the ->gpwrap is not tested (at all per my testing) due to the
requirement of a large delta between a CPU's rdp->gp_seq and its node's
rnp->gpseq.
This results in no testing of ->gpwrap being set. This patch by default
adds 5 minutes of testing with ->gpwrap forced by lowering the delta
between rdp->gp_seq and rnp->gp_seq to just 8 GPs. All of this is
configurable, including the active time for the setting and a full
testing cycle.
By default, the first 25 minutes of a test will have the _default_
behavior there is right now (ULONG_MAX / 4) delta. Then for 5 minutes,
we switch to a smaller delta causing 1-2 wraps in 5 minutes. I believe
this is reasonable since we at least add a little bit of testing for
usecases where ->gpwrap is set.

On our HDFS servers with 12 HDDs per server, a HDFS datanode[0] startup
involves scanning all files and caching their metadata (including dentries
and inodes) in memory. Each HDD contains approximately 2 million files,
resulting in a total of ~20 million cached dentries after initialization.
To minimize dentry reclamation, we set vfs_cache_pressure to 1. Despite
this configuration, memory pressure conditions can still trigger
reclamation of up to 50% of cached dentries, reducing the cache from 20
million to approximately 10 million entries. During the subsequent cache
rebuild period, any HDFS datanode restart operation incurs substantial
latency penalties until full cache recovery completes.
To maintain service stability, we need to preserve more dentries during
memory reclamation. The current minimum reclaim ratio (1/100 of total
dentries) remains too aggressive for our workload. This patch introduces
vfs_cache_pressure_denom for more granular cache pressure control. The
configuration [vfs_cache_pressure=1, vfs_cache_pressure_denom=10000]
effectively maintains the full 20 million dentry cache under memory
pressure, preventing datanode restart performance degradation.

Pull x86 ITS mitigation from Dave Hansen:
"Mitigate Indirect Target Selection (ITS) issue.
I'd describe this one as a good old CPU bug where the behavior is
_obviously_ wrong, but since it just results in bad predictions it
wasn't wrong enough to notice. Well, the researchers noticed and also
realized that thus bug undermined a bunch of existing indirect branch
mitigations.
Thus the unusually wide impact on this one. Details:
ITS is a bug in some Intel CPUs that affects indirect branches
including RETs in the first half of a cacheline. Due to ITS such
branches may get wrongly predicted to a target of (direct or indirect)
branch that is located in the second half of a cacheline. Researchers
at VUSec found this behavior and reported to Intel.
Affected processors:
- Cascade Lake, Cooper Lake, Whiskey Lake V, Coffee Lake R, Comet
Lake, Ice Lake, Tiger Lake and Rocket Lake.
Scope of impact:
- Guest/host isolation:
When eIBRS is used for guest/host isolation, the indirect branches
in the VMM may still be predicted with targets corresponding to
direct branches in the guest.
- Intra-mode using cBPF:
cBPF can be used to poison the branch history to exploit ITS.
Realigning the indirect branches and RETs mitigates this attack
vector.
- User/kernel:
With eIBRS enabled user/kernel isolation is *not* impacted by ITS.
- Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB):
Due to this bug indirect branches may be predicted with targets
corresponding to direct branches which were executed prior to IBPB.
This will be fixed in the microcode.
Mitigation:
As indirect branches in the first half of cacheline are affected, the
mitigation is to replace those indirect branches with a call to thunk that
is aligned to the second half of the cacheline.
RETs that take prediction from RSB are not affected, but they may be
affected by RSB-underflow condition. So, RETs in the first half of
cacheline are also patched to a return thunk that executes the RET aligned
to second half of cacheline"

Indirect Target Selection (ITS) is a bug in some pre-ADL Intel CPUs with
eIBRS. It affects prediction of indirect branch and RETs in the
lower half of cacheline. Due to ITS such branches may get wrongly predicted
to a target of (direct or indirect) branch that is located in the upper
half of the cacheline.
Scope of impact
===============
Guest/host isolation
--------------------
When eIBRS is used for guest/host isolation, the indirect branches in the
VMM may still be predicted with targets corresponding to branches in the
guest.
Intra-mode
----------
cBPF or other native gadgets can be used for intra-mode training and
disclosure using ITS.
User/kernel isolation
---------------------
When eIBRS is enabled user/kernel isolation is not impacted.
Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB)
-----------------------------------------
After an IBPB, indirect branches may be predicted with targets
corresponding to direct branches which were executed prior to IBPB. This is
mitigated by a microcode update.
Add cmdline parameter indirect_target_selection=off|on|force to control the
mitigation to relocate the affected branches to an ITS-safe thunk i.e.
located in the upper half of cacheline. Also add the sysfs reporting.
When retpoline mitigation is deployed, ITS safe-thunks are not needed,
because retpoline sequence is already ITS-safe. Similarly, when call depth
tracking (CDT) mitigation is deployed (retbleed=stuff), ITS safe return
thunk is not used, as CDT prevents RSB-underflow.
To not overcomplicate things, ITS mitigation is not supported with
spectre-v2 lfence;jmp mitigation. Moreover, it is less practical to deploy
lfence;jmp mitigation on ITS affected parts anyways.
