If we crash when the journal pin fifo is completely full - i.e. we're
at the maximum number of dirty journal entries - that may put us in a
sticky situation in recovery, as journal replay will need to be able to
open new journal entries in order to get going.
bch2_fs_journal_start() already had provisions for resizing the journal
pin fifo if needed, but it needs a fudge factor to ensure there's room
for journal replay.

peek_slot() doesn't normally return bkey_s_c_null - except when we ask
for a key at a btree level that doesn't exist, which can happen here.
We might want to revisit this, but we'll have to look over all the
places where we use peek_slot() on interior nodes.

Codepaths that create entries in the snapshots btree currently call
bch2_mark_snapshot(), which updates the in-memory snapshot table, before
transaction commit.
This is because bch2_mark_snapshot() is an atomic trigger, run with
btree write locks held, and isn't allowed to fail - but it might need to
reallocate the table, hence we call it early when we're still allowed to
fail.
This is generally harmless - if we fail, we'll have left an entry in the
snapshots table around, but nothing will reference it and it'll get
overwritten if reused by another transaction.
But check_snapshot_exists(), which reconstructs snapshots when the
snapshots btree has been corrupted or lost, was erronously rechecking if
the snapshot exists inside the transaction commit loop - so on
transaction restart (in this case mem_realloced), the second iteration
would return without repairing.
This code needs some cleanup: splitting out a "maybe realloc snapshots
table" helper would have avoided this, that will be in the next patch.

We're starting to switch to lift the printbufs up to higher levels so we
can emit better log messages and print them all in one go (avoid
garbling), so that conversion will help with spotting these in the

atomic context.

Eliminate a useless task_work on execve by moving the call to
rseq_set_notify_resume() from sched_mm_cid_after_execve() to the error
path of bprm_execve().
The call to rseq_set_notify_resume() from sched_mm_cid_after_execve() is
pointless in the success case, because rseq_execve() will clear the rseq
pointer before returning to userspace.
sched_mm_cid_after_execve() is called from both the success and error
paths of bprm_execve(). The call to rseq_set_notify_resume() is needed
on error because the mm_cid may have changed.
Also move the rseq_execve() to right after sched_mm_cid_after_execve()
in bprm_execve().

The calls to cifs_truncate_page() should be superfluous as the places that
call it also call truncate_setsize() or cifs_setsize() and therefore
truncate_pagecache() which should also clear the tail part of the folio
containing the EOF marker.
Further, smb3_simple_falloc() calls both cifs_setsize() and
truncate_setsize() in addition to cifs_truncate_page().
Remove the superfluous calls.
This gets rid of another function referring to struct page.
[Should cifs_setsize() also set inode->i_blocks?]

This patch should fix a possible userfaultfd release() hang during
concurrent GUP.
This problem was initially reported by Dimitris Siakavaras in July 2023
[1] in a firecracker use case. Firecracker has a separate process
handling page faults remotely, and when the process releases the
userfaultfd it can race with a concurrent GUP from KVM trying to fault in
a guest page during the secondary MMU page fault process.
A similar problem was reported recently again by Jinjiang Tu in March 2025
[2], even though the race happened this time with a mlockall() operation,
which does GUP in a similar fashion.
In 2017, commit 656710a60e ("userfaultfd: non-cooperative: closing the
uffd without triggering SIGBUS") was trying to fix this issue. AFAIU,
that fixes well the fault paths but may not work yet for GUP. In GUP, the
issue is NOPAGE will be almost treated the same as "page fault resolved"
in faultin_page(), then the GUP will follow page again, seeing page
missing, and it'll keep going into a live lock situation as reported.
This change makes core mm return RETRY instead of NOPAGE for both the GUP
and fault paths, proactively releasing the mmap read lock. This should
guarantee the other release thread make progress on taking the write lock
and avoid the live lock even for GUP.
When at it, rearrange the comments to make sure it's uptodate.

Individual bits GENERIC_READ, GENERIC_EXECUTE and GENERIC_ALL have meaning
which includes also access right for FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES. So specifying
FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES bit together with one of those GENERIC (except
GENERIC_WRITE) does not do anything.
This change prevents calling additional (fallback) code and sending more
requests without FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES when the primary request fails on
-EACCES, as it is not needed at all.

If SMB2_OP_QUERY_INFO (called when POSIX extensions are not used) failed
with STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED then it means that caller does not have
permission to open the path with FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES access and therefore
cannot issue SMB2_OP_QUERY_INFO command.
This will result in the -EACCES error from stat() sycall.
There is an alternative way how to query limited information about path but
still suitable for stat() syscall. SMB2 OPEN/CREATE operation returns in
its successful response subset of query information.
So try to open the path without FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES but with
MAXIMUM_ALLOWED access which will grant the maximum possible access to the
file and the response will contain required query information for stat()
syscall.
This will improve smb2_query_path_info() to query also files which do not
grant FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES access to caller.

Some operations, like WRITE, does not require FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES access.
So when FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES is not explicitly requested for
smb2_open_file() then first try to do SMB2 CREATE with FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES
access (like it was before) and then fallback to SMB2 CREATE without
FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES access (less common case).
This change allows to complete WRITE operation to a file when it does not
grant FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES permission and its parent directory does not
grant READ_DATA permission (parent directory READ_DATA is implicit grant of
child FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES permission).

Old SMB1 servers without CAP_NT_SMBS do not support CIFS_open() function
and instead SMBLegacyOpen() needs to be used. This logic is already handled
in cifs_open_file() function, which is server->ops->open callback function.
So for querying and creating MF symlinks use open callback function instead
of CIFS_open() function directly.
This change fixes querying and creating new MF symlinks on Windows 98.
Currently cifs_query_mf_symlink() is not able to detect MF symlink and
cifs_create_mf_symlink() is failing with EIO error.

SMB negotiate retry functionality in cifs_negotiate() is currently broken
and does not work when doing socket reconnect. Caller of this function,
which is cifs_negotiate_protocol() requires that tcpStatus after successful
execution of negotiate callback stay in CifsInNegotiate. But if the
CIFSSMBNegotiate() called from cifs_negotiate() fails due to connection
issues then tcpStatus is changed as so repeated CIFSSMBNegotiate() call
does not help.
Fix this problem by moving retrying code from negotiate callback (which is
either cifs_negotiate() or smb2_negotiate()) to cifs_negotiate_protocol()
which is caller of those callbacks. This allows to properly handle and
implement correct transistions between tcpStatus states as function
cifs_negotiate_protocol() already handles it.
With this change, cifs_negotiate_protocol() now handles also -EAGAIN error
set by the RFC1002_NEGATIVE_SESSION_RESPONSE processing after reconnecting
with NetBIOS session.

Now all NetBIOS session logic is handled in ip_rfc1001_connect() function,
so cleanup is_smb_response() function which contains generic handling of
incoming SMB packets. Note that function is_smb_response() is not used
directly or indirectly (e.g. over cifs_demultiplex_thread() by
ip_rfc1001_connect() function.
Except the Negative Session Response and the Session Keep Alive packet, the
cifs_demultiplex_thread() should not receive any NetBIOS session packets.
And Session Keep Alive packet may be received only when the NetBIOS session
was established by ip_rfc1001_connect() function. So treat any such packet
as error and schedule reconnect.
Negative Session Response packet is returned from Windows SMB server (from
Windows 98 and also from Windows Server 2022) if client sent over port 139
SMB negotiate request without previously establishing a NetBIOS session.
The common scenario is that Negative Session Response packet is returned
for the SMB negotiate packet, which is the first one which SMB client
sends (if it is not establishing a NetBIOS session).
Note that server port 139 may be forwarded and mapped between virtual
machines to different number. And Linux SMB client do not call function
ip_rfc1001_connect() when prot is not 139. So nowadays when using port
mapping or port forwarding between VMs, it is not so uncommon to see this
error.
Currently the logic on Negative Session Response packet changes server port
to 445 and force reconnection. But this logic does not work when using
non-standard port numbers and also does not help if the server on specified
port is requiring establishing a NetBIOS session.
Fix this Negative Session Response logic and instead of changing server
port (on which server does not have to listen), force reconnection with
establishing a NetBIOS session.

Currently SMB client always tries to initialize NetBIOS session when the
server port is 139. This is useful for default cases, but nowadays when
using non-standard routing or testing between VMs, it is common that
servers are listening on non-standard ports.
So add a new mount option -o nbsessinit and -o nonbsessinit which either
forces initialization or disables initialization regardless of server port
number.
This allows Linux SMB client to connect to older SMB1 server listening on
non-standard port, which requires initialization of NetBIOS session, by
using additional mount options -o port= and -o nbsessinit.

Changing owner is controlled by DACL permission WRITE_OWNER. Changing DACL
itself is controlled by DACL permisssion WRITE_DAC. Owner of the file has
implicit WRITE_DAC permission even when it is not explicitly granted for
owner by DACL.
Reading DACL or owner is controlled only by one permission READ_CONTROL.
WRITE_OWNER permission can be bypassed by the SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege,
which is by default available for local administrators.
So if the local administrator wants to access some file to which does not
have access, it is required to first change owner to ourself and then
change DACL permissions.
Currently Linux SMB client does not support this because client does not
provide a way to change owner without touching DACL permissions.
Fix this problem by introducing a new xattr "system.smb3_ntsd_owner" for
setting/changing only owner part of the security descriptor.

Access to SACL part of SMB security descriptor is granted by SACL privilege
which by default is accessible only for local administrator. But it can be
granted to any other user by local GPO or AD. SACL access is not granted by
DACL permissions and therefore is it possible that some user would not have
access to DACLs of some file, but would have access to SACLs of all files.
So it means that for accessing SACLs (either getting or setting) in some
cases requires not touching or asking for DACLs.
Currently Linux SMB client does not allow to get or set SACLs without
touching DACLs. Which means that user without DACL access is not able to
get or set SACLs even if it has access to SACLs.
Fix this problem by introducing a new xattr "system.smb3_ntsd_sacl" for
accessing only SACLs part of the security descriptor (therefore without
DACLs and OWNER/GROUP).

When a SMB connection is reset and reconnected, the negotiated IO
parameters (rsize/wsize) can become out of sync with the server's
current capabilities. This can lead to suboptimal performance or
even IO failures if the server's limits have changed.
This patch implements automatic IO size renegotiation:
1. Adds cifs_renegotiate_iosize() function to update all superblocks
associated with a tree connection
2. Updates each mount's rsize/wsize based on current server capabilities
3. Calls this function after successful tree connection reconnection
With this change, all mount points will automatically maintain optimal
and reliable IO parameters after network disruptions, using the
bidirectional mapping added in previous patches.
This completes the series improving connection resilience by keeping
mount parameters synchronized with server capabilities.
