commit e60feb445fce9e51c1558a6aa7faf9dd5ded533b upstream.
If you already have an inode and need to update the time on the inode
there is no way to do this properly. Export this helper to allow file
systems to update time on the inode so the appropriate handler is
called, either ->update_time or generic_update_time.

Pull MAP_DENYWRITE removal from David Hildenbrand:
"Remove all in-tree usage of MAP_DENYWRITE from the kernel and remove
VM_DENYWRITE.
There are some (minor) user-visible changes:
- We no longer deny write access to shared libaries loaded via legacy
uselib(); this behavior matches modern user space e.g. dlopen().
- We no longer deny write access to the elf interpreter after exec
completed, treating it just like shared libraries (which it often
is).
- We always deny write access to the file linked via /proc/pid/exe:
sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE) will fail if write access to the
file cannot be denied, and write access to the file will remain
denied until the link is effectivel gone (exec, termination,
sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP/EXE_FILE)) -- just as if exec'ing the file.
Cross-compiled for a bunch of architectures (alpha, microblaze, i386,
s390x, ...) and verified via ltp that especially the relevant tests
(i.e., creat07 and execve04) continue working as expected"

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"The highlights of this round are integrations with fs-verity and
idmapped mounts, the rest is usual mix of minor improvements, speedups
and cleanups.
There are some patches outside of btrfs, namely updating some VFS
interfaces, all straightforward and acked.
Features:
- fs-verity support, using standard ioctls, backward compatible with
read-only limitation on inodes with previously enabled fs-verity
- idmapped mount support
- make mount with rescue=ibadroots more tolerant to partially damaged
trees
- allow raid0 on a single device and raid10 on two devices,
degenerate cases but might be useful as an intermediate step during
conversion to other profiles
- zoned mode block group auto reclaim can be disabled via sysfs knob
Performance improvements:
- continue readahead of node siblings even if target node is in
memory, could speed up full send (on sample test +11%)
- batching of delayed items can speed up creating many files
- fsync/tree-log speedups
- avoid unnecessary work (gains +2% throughput, -2% run time on
sample load)
- reduced lock contention on renames (on dbench +4% throughput,
up to -30% latency)
Fixes:
- various zoned mode fixes
- preemptive flushing threshold tuning, avoid excessive work on
almost full filesystems
Core:
- continued subpage support, preparation for implementing remaining
features like compression and defragmentation; with some
limitations, write is now enabled on 64K page systems with 4K
sectors, still considered experimental
- no readahead on compressed reads
- inline extents disabled
- disabled raid56 profile conversion and mount
- improved flushing logic, fixing early ENOSPC on some workloads
- inode flags have been internally split to read-only and read-write
incompat bit parts, used by fs-verity
- new tree items for fs-verity
- descriptor item
- Merkle tree item
- inode operations extended to be namespace-aware
- cleanups and refactoring
Generic code changes:
- fs: new export filemap_fdatawrite_wbc
- fs: removed sync_inode
- block: bio_trim argument type fixups
- vfs: add namespace-aware lookup"

In the reexport case, nfsd is currently passing along locks with the
reclaim bit set. The client sends a new lock request, which is granted
if there's currently no conflict--even if it's possible a conflicting
lock could have been briefly held in the interim.
We don't currently have any way to safely grant reclaim, so for now
let's just deny them all.
I'm doing this by passing the reclaim bit to nfs and letting it fail the
call, with the idea that eventually the client might be able to do
something more forgiving here.

Btrfs sometimes needs to flush dirty pages on a bunch of dirty inodes in
order to reclaim metadata reservations. Unfortunately most helpers in
this area are too smart for us:
1) The normal filemap_fdata* helpers only take range and sync modes, and
don't give any indication of how much was written, so we can only
flush full inodes, which isn't what we want in most cases.
2) The normal writeback path requires us to have the s_umount sem held,
but we can't unconditionally take it in this path because we could
deadlock.
3) The normal writeback path also skips inodes with I_SYNC set if we
write with WB_SYNC_NONE. This isn't the behavior we want under heavy
ENOSPC pressure, we want to actually make sure the pages are under
writeback before returning, and if another thread is in the middle of
writing the file we may return before they're under writeback and
miss our ordered extents and not properly wait for completion.
4) sync_inode() uses the normal writeback path and has the same problem
as #3.
What we really want is to call do_writepages() with our wbc. This way
we can make sure that writeback is actually started on the pages, and we
can control how many pages are written as a whole as we write many
inodes using the same wbc. Accomplish this with a new helper that does
just that so we can use it for our ENOSPC flushing infrastructure.

We added CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING in 2015, and soon after turned it
off in Fedora and RHEL8. Several other distros have followed suit.
I've heard of one problem in all that time: Someone migrated from an
older distro that supported "-o mand" to one that didn't, and the host
had a fstab entry with "mand" in it which broke on reboot. They didn't
actually _use_ mandatory locking so they just removed the mount option
and moved on.
This patch rips out mandatory locking support wholesale from the kernel,
along with the Kconfig option and the Documentation file. It also
changes the mount code to ignore the "mand" mount option instead of
erroring out, and to throw a big, ugly warning.

Overlayfs does not cache ACL's (to avoid double caching). Instead it just
calls the underlying filesystem's i_op->get_acl(), which will return the
cached value, if possible.
In rcu path walk, however, get_cached_acl_rcu() is employed to get the
value from the cache, which will fail on overlayfs resulting in dropping
out of rcu walk mode. This can result in a big performance hit in certain
situations.
Fix by calling ->get_acl() with rcu=true in case of ACL_DONT_CACHE (which
indicates pass-through)

Move the permission checks in notify_change into a separate function to
make them available to filesystems.
When notify_change is called, the vfs performs those checks before
calling into iop->setattr. However, a filesystem like gfs2 can only
lock and revalidate the inode inside ->setattr, and it must then repeat
those checks to err on the safe side.
It would be nice to get rid of the double checking, but moving the
permission check into iop->setattr altogether isn't really an option.

Currently, serializing operations such as page fault, read, or readahead
against hole punching is rather difficult. The basic race scheme is
like:
fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) read / fault / ..
truncate_inode_pages_range()
<create pages in page
cache here>
<update fs block mapping and free blocks>
Now the problem is in this way read / page fault / readahead can
instantiate pages in page cache with potentially stale data (if blocks
get quickly reused). Avoiding this race is not simple - page locks do
not work because we want to make sure there are *no* pages in given
range. inode->i_rwsem does not work because page fault happens under
mmap_sem which ranks below inode->i_rwsem. Also using it for reads makes
the performance for mixed read-write workloads suffer.
So create a new rw_semaphore in the address_space - invalidate_lock -
that protects adding of pages to page cache for page faults / reads /
readahead.

Use __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() instead. This will set the dirty bit
on the page, which will be used to avoid calling set_page_dirty() in the
future. It will have no effect on actually writing the page back, as the
pages are not on any LRU lists.

Thosw two did not wire up ->set_page_dirty before and now get
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback, which is the right one for no-writeback

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good".
Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and
memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem.
Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be
able to deal with things like
a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem)
-> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient.
b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched
-> mem_pfn_is_ram()
Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might
fault/crash the machine.
Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1],
after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion.
CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by
mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled
for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least
starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from
15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well.
1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled
basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of
/dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.".
RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to
serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers
to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching"
2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read
kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to
deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned
pages, though)
3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a
better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot
yourself into the foot.
4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems
to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes,
/proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older
kernels can be used.
5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there.
Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better
suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's
just remove it.

Patch series "Improve IOCB_NOWAIT O_DIRECT reads", v3.
An internal workload complained because it was using too much CPU, and
when I took a look, we had a lot of io_uring workers going to town.
For an async buffered read like workload, I am normally expecting _zero_
offloads to a worker thread, but this one had tons of them. I'd drop
caches and things would look good again, but then a minute later we'd
regress back to using workers. Turns out that every minute something
was reading parts of the device, which would add page cache for that
inode. I put patches like these in for our kernel, and the problem was
solved.
Don't -EAGAIN IOCB_NOWAIT dio reads just because we have page cache
entries for the given range. This causes unnecessary work from the
callers side, when the IO could have been issued totally fine without
blocking on writeback when there is none.
This patch (of 3):
For O_DIRECT reads/writes, we check if we need to issue a call to
filemap_write_and_wait_range() to issue and/or wait for writeback for any
page in the given range. The existing mechanism just checks for a page in
the range, which is suboptimal for IOCB_NOWAIT as we'll fallback to the
slow path (and needing retry) if there's just a clean page cache page in
the range.
Provide filemap_range_needs_writeback() which tries a little harder to
check if we actually need to issue and/or wait for writeback in the range.

Pull network filesystem helper library updates from David Howells:
"Here's a set of patches for 5.13 to begin the process of overhauling
the local caching API for network filesystems. This set consists of
two parts:
(1) Add a helper library to handle the new VM readahead interface.
This is intended to be used unconditionally by the filesystem
(whether or not caching is enabled) and provides a common
framework for doing caching, transparent huge pages and, in the
future, possibly fscrypt and read bandwidth maximisation. It also
allows the netfs and the cache to align, expand and slice up a
read request from the VM in various ways; the netfs need only
provide a function to read a stretch of data to the pagecache and
the helper takes care of the rest.
(2) Add an alternative fscache/cachfiles I/O API that uses the kiocb
facility to do async DIO to transfer data to/from the netfs's
pages, rather than using readpage with wait queue snooping on one
side and vfs_write() on the other. It also uses less memory, since
it doesn't do buffered I/O on the backing file.
Note that this uses SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA to locate the data
available to be read from the cache. Whilst this is an improvement
from the bmap interface, it still has a problem with regard to a
modern extent-based filesystem inserting or removing bridging
blocks of zeros. Fixing that requires a much greater overhaul.
This is a step towards overhauling the fscache API. The change is
opt-in on the part of the network filesystem. A netfs should not try
to mix the old and the new API because of conflicting ways of handling
pages and the PG_fscache page flag and because it would be mixing DIO
with buffered I/O. Further, the helper library can't be used with the
old API.
This does not change any of the fscache cookie handling APIs or the
way invalidation is done at this time.
In the near term, I intend to deprecate and remove the old I/O API
(fscache_allocate_page{,s}(), fscache_read_or_alloc_page{,s}(),
fscache_write_page() and fscache_uncache_page()) and eventually
replace most of fscache/cachefiles with something simpler and easier
to follow.
This patchset contains the following parts:
- Some helper patches, including provision of an ITER_XARRAY iov
iterator and a function to do readahead expansion.
- Patches to add the netfs helper library.
- A patch to add the fscache/cachefiles kiocb API.
- A pair of patches to fix some review issues in the ITER_XARRAY and
read helpers as spotted by Al and Willy.
Jeff Layton has patches to add support in Ceph for this that he
intends for this merge window. I have a set of patches to support AFS
that I will post a separate pull request for.
With this, AFS without a cache passes all expected xfstests; with a
cache, there's an extra failure, but that's also there before these
patches. Fixing that probably requires a greater overhaul. Ceph also
passes the expected tests.
I also have patches in a separate branch to tidy up the handling of
PG_fscache/PG_private_2 and their contribution to page refcounting in
the core kernel here, but I haven't included them in this set and will
route them separately"

There's a substantial amount of boilerplate in filesystems handling
FS_IOC_[GS]ETFLAGS/ FS_IOC_FS[GS]ETXATTR ioctls.
Also due to userspace buffers being involved in the ioctl API this is
difficult to stack, as shown by overlayfs issues related to these ioctls.
Introduce a new internal API named "fileattr" (fsxattr can be confused with
xattr, xflags is inappropriate, since this is more than just flags).
There's significant overlap between flags and xflags and this API handles
the conversions automatically, so filesystems may choose which one to use.
In ->fileattr_get() a hint is provided to the filesystem whether flags or
xattr are being requested by userspace, but in this series this hint is
ignored by all filesystems, since generating all the attributes is cheap.
If a filesystem doesn't implemement the fileattr API, just fall back to
f_op->ioctl(). When all filesystems are converted, the fallback can be
removed.
32bit compat ioctls are now handled by the generic code as well.

While reviewing ./include/linux/fs.h, I noticed that three comments can

consistency between the descriptions and the functions' signatures in
case they may change in the future.
A quick validation with the consistency check:
./scripts/kernel-doc -none include/linux/fs.h
