Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
- netfs:
- fix the decision when to disallow write-streaming with fscache in
use, handling of asynchronous cache object creation, a double fput
in cachefiles, clearing S_KERNEL_FILE without the inode lock held,
page extraction bugs in the iov_iter helpers (a potential
underflow, a missing allocation failure check, a memory leak, and
a folio offset miscalculation), writeback error and ENOMEM
handling, DIO write retry for filesystems without a
->prepare_write() method, and the replacement of the wb_lock mutex
with a bit lock plus writethrough collection offload so that
multiple asynchronous writebacks don't interfere with each other.
- Fix the barriering when walking the netfs subrequest list during
retries as it was possible to see a subrequest that was just added
by the application thread.
- iomap:
- Change iomap to submit read bios after each extent instead of
building them up across extents. The old behavior was considered
problematic for a while and now caused an actual erofs bug.
- Guard the ioend io_size EOF trim in iomap against underflow when a
concurrent truncate moves EOF below the start of the ioend,
wrapping io_size to a huge value.
- overlayfs
- Fix a stale overlayfs comment about the locking order.
- Store the linked-in upper dentry instead of the disconnected
O_TMPFILE dentry during overlayfs tmpfile copy-up. With a FUSE or
virtiofs upper layer ->d_revalidate() would try to look up "/" in
the workdir and fail, causing persistent ESTALE errors that broke
dpkg and apt.
- vfs-bpf:
Have the bpf_real_data_inode() kfunc take a struct file instead of a
dentry so it is usable from the bprm_check_security, mmap_file, and
file_mprotect hooks, and rename it from bpf_real_inode() to make the
data-inode semantics explicit. The kfunc landed this cycle so the
change is safe.
- afs:
NULL pointer dereferences in the callback service and in
afs_get_tree(), several memory and refcount leaks, missing locking
around the dynamic root inode numbers and premature cell exposure
through /afs, a netns destruction hang caused by a misplaced
increment of net->cells_outstanding, a bulk lookup malfunction caused
by the dir_emit() API change, inode (re)initialisation issues, and
assorted smaller fixes to error codes, seqlock handling, and debug
output.
- vfs:
Refuse O_TMPFILE creation with an unmapped fsuid or fsgid and add a
selftest for it.
- vboxsf:
Add Jori Koolstra as vboxsf maintainer, taking over from Hans de
Goede.
- dio:
Release the pages attached to a short atomic dio bio; the REQ_ATOMIC
size check error path leaked them.
- procfs:
Only bump the parent directory link count when registering
directories in procfs. Registering regular files inflated the count
and leaked a link on every create and remove cycle.
- minix:
Avoid an unsigned overflow in the minix bitmap block count
calculation that let crafted images with huge inode or zone counts
pass superblock validation and crash the kernel during mount.
- cachefiles:
Fix a double unlock in the cachefiles nomem_d_alloc error path left
over from the start_creating() conversion.
- fat:
Stop fat from reading directory entries past the 0x00
end-of-directory marker. If the trailing on-disk slots aren't
zero-filled the driver surfaced arbitrary garbage as directory
entries.
- freexvfs:
Don't BUG() on unknown typed-extent types in freevxfs, reachable via
ioctl(FIBMAP) on a crafted image; fail with an I/O error instead.
- orangefs:
Keep the readdir entry size 64-bit in orangefs fill_from_part().
Truncating it to __u32 bypassed the bounds check and led to
out-of-bounds reads triggerable by the userspace client.
- xfs:
Fix the error unwind in xfs_open_devices() which released the rt
device file twice and left dangling buftarg pointers behind that were
freed again when the failed mount was torn down.
- exec:
Fix an off-by-one in the comment documenting the maximum binfmt
rewrite depth in exec_binprm(). The code allows five rewrites, not
four; restricting the code would break userspace so the comment is
fixed instead.
- file handles:
Reject detached mounts in capable_wrt_mount(). A detached mount can
be dissolved concurrently, leaving a NULL mount namespace that
open_by_handle_at() would dereference.
