Pull vfs idmapping updates from Christian Brauner:
- Last cycle we introduced the dedicated struct mnt_idmap type for
mount idmapping and the required infrastucture in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs:
introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). As promised in last
cycle's pull request message this converts everything to rely on
struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached
to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy
to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with
namespaces that are relevant on the mount level. Especially for
non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this was a
potential source for bugs.
This finishes the conversion. Instead of passing the plain namespace
around this updates all places that currently take a pointer to a
mnt_userns with a pointer to struct mnt_idmap.
Now that the conversion is done all helpers down to the really
low-level helpers only accept a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments.
Conflating mount and other idmappings will now cause the compiler to
complain loudly thus eliminating the possibility of any bugs. This
makes it impossible for filesystem developers to mix up mount and
filesystem idmappings as they are two distinct types and require
distinct helpers that cannot be used interchangeably.
Everything associated with struct mnt_idmap is moved into a single
separate file. With that change no code can poke around in struct
mnt_idmap. It can only be interacted with through dedicated helpers.
That means all filesystems are and all of the vfs is completely
oblivious to the actual implementation of idmappings.
We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap as we see fit. For
example, we can decouple it completely from namespaces for users that
don't require or don't want to use them at all. We can also extend
the concept of idmappings so we can cover filesystem specific
requirements.
In combination with the vfs{g,u}id_t work we finished in v6.2 this
makes this feature substantially more robust and thus difficult to
implement wrong by a given filesystem and also protects the vfs.
- Enable idmapped mounts for tmpfs and fulfill a longstanding request.
A long-standing request from users had been to make it possible to
create idmapped mounts for tmpfs. For example, to share the host's
tmpfs mount between multiple sandboxes. This is a prerequisite for
some advanced Kubernetes cases. Systemd also has a range of use-cases
to increase service isolation. And there are more users of this.
However, with all of the other work going on this was way down on the
priority list but luckily someone other than ourselves picked this
up.
As usual the patch is tiny as all the infrastructure work had been
done multiple kernel releases ago. In addition to all the tests that
we already have I requested that Rodrigo add a dedicated tmpfs
testsuite for idmapped mounts to xfstests. It is to be included into
xfstests during the v6.3 development cycle. This should add a slew of
additional tests.

This patch enables idmapped mounts for tmpfs when CONFIG_SHMEM is defined.
Since all dedicated helpers for this functionality exist, in this
patch we just pass down the idmap argument from the VFS methods to the
relevant helpers.

Pull simple-xattr updates from Christian Brauner:
"This ports the simple xattr infrastucture to rely on a simple rbtree
protected by a read-write lock instead of a linked list protected by a
spinlock.
A while ago we received reports about scaling issues for filesystems
using the simple xattr infrastructure that also support setting a
larger number of xattrs. Specifically, cgroups and tmpfs.
Both cgroupfs and tmpfs can be mounted by unprivileged users in
unprivileged containers and root in an unprivileged container can set
an unrestricted number of security.* xattrs and privileged users can
also set unlimited trusted.* xattrs. A few more words on further that
below. Other xattrs such as user.* are restricted for kernfs-based
instances to a fairly limited number.
As there are apparently users that have a fairly large number of
xattrs we should scale a bit better. Using a simple linked list
protected by a spinlock used for set, get, and list operations doesn't
scale well if users use a lot of xattrs even if it's not a crazy
number.
Let's switch to a simple rbtree protected by a rwlock. It scales way
better and gets rid of the perf issues some people reported. We
originally had fancier solutions even using an rcu+seqlock protected
rbtree but we had concerns about being to clever and also that
deletion from an rbtree with rcu+seqlock isn't entirely safe.
The rbtree plus rwlock is perfectly fine. By far the most common
operation is getting an xattr. While setting an xattr is not and
should be comparatively rare. And listxattr() often only happens when
copying xattrs between files or together with the contents to a new
file.
Holding a lock across listxattr() is unproblematic because it doesn't
list the values of xattrs. It can only be used to list the names of
all xattrs set on a file. And the number of xattr names that can be
listed with listxattr() is limited to XATTR_LIST_MAX aka 65536 bytes.
If a larger buffer is passed then vfs_listxattr() caps it to
XATTR_LIST_MAX and if more xattr names are found it will return
-E2BIG. In short, the maximum amount of memory that can be retrieved
via listxattr() is limited and thus listxattr() bounded.
Of course, the API is broken as documented on xattr(7) already. While
I have no idea how the xattr api ended up in this state we should
probably try to come up with something here at some point. An iterator
pattern similar to readdir() as an alternative to listxattr() or
something else.
Right now it is extremly strange that users can set millions of xattrs
but then can't use listxattr() to know which xattrs are actually set.
And it's really trivial to do:
for i in {1..1000000}; do setfattr -n security.$i -v $i ./file1; done
And around 5000 xattrs it's impossible to use listxattr() to figure
out which xattrs are actually set. So I have suggested that we try to
limit the number of xattrs for simple xattrs at least. But that's a
future patch and I don't consider it very urgent.
A bonus of this port to rbtree+rwlock is that we shrink the memory
consumption for users of the simple xattr infrastructure.
This also adds kernel documentation to all the functions"

Pull VFS acl updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work that builds a dedicated vfs posix acl api.
The origins of this work trace back to v5.19 but it took quite a while
to understand the various filesystem specific implementations in
sufficient detail and also come up with an acceptable solution.
As we discussed and seen multiple times the current state of how posix
acls are handled isn't nice and comes with a lot of problems: The
current way of handling posix acls via the generic xattr api is error
prone, hard to maintain, and type unsafe for the vfs until we call
into the filesystem's dedicated get and set inode operations.
It is already the case that posix acls are special-cased to death all
the way through the vfs. There are an uncounted number of hacks that
operate on the uapi posix acl struct instead of the dedicated vfs
struct posix_acl. And the vfs must be involved in order to interpret
and fixup posix acls before storing them to the backing store, caching
them, reporting them to userspace, or for permission checking.
Currently a range of hacks and duct tape exist to make this work. As
with most things this is really no ones fault it's just something that
happened over time. But the code is hard to understand and difficult
to maintain and one is constantly at risk of introducing bugs and
regressions when having to touch it.
Instead of continuing to hack posix acls through the xattr handlers
this series builds a dedicated posix acl api solely around the get and
set inode operations.
Going forward, the vfs_get_acl(), vfs_remove_acl(), and vfs_set_acl()
helpers must be used in order to interact with posix acls. They
operate directly on the vfs internal struct posix_acl instead of
abusing the uapi posix acl struct as we currently do. In the end this
removes all of the hackiness, makes the codepaths easier to maintain,
and gets us type safety.
This series passes the LTP and xfstests suites without any
regressions. For xfstests the following combinations were tested:
- xfs
- ext4
- btrfs
- overlayfs
- overlayfs on top of idmapped mounts
- orangefs
- (limited) cifs
There's more simplifications for posix acls that we can make in the
future if the basic api has made it.
A few implementation details:
- The series makes sure to retain exactly the same security and
integrity module permission checks. Especially for the integrity
modules this api is a win because right now they convert the uapi
posix acl struct passed to them via a void pointer into the vfs
struct posix_acl format to perform permission checking on the mode.
There's a new dedicated security hook for setting posix acls which
passes the vfs struct posix_acl not a void pointer. Basing checking
on the posix acl stored in the uapi format is really unreliable.
The vfs currently hacks around directly in the uapi struct storing
values that frankly the security and integrity modules can't
correctly interpret as evidenced by bugs we reported and fixed in
this area. It's not necessarily even their fault it's just that the
format we provide to them is sub optimal.
- Some filesystems like 9p and cifs need access to the dentry in
order to get and set posix acls which is why they either only
partially or not even at all implement get and set inode
operations. For example, cifs allows setxattr() and getxattr()
operations but doesn't allow permission checking based on posix
acls because it can't implement a get acl inode operation.
Thus, this patch series updates the set acl inode operation to take
a dentry instead of an inode argument. However, for the get acl
inode operation we can't do this as the old get acl method is
called in e.g., generic_permission() and inode_permission(). These
helpers in turn are called in various filesystem's permission inode
operation. So passing a dentry argument to the old get acl inode
operation would amount to passing a dentry to the permission inode
operation which we shouldn't and probably can't do.
So instead of extending the existing inode operation Christoph
suggested to add a new one. He also requested to ensure that the
get and set acl inode operation taking a dentry are consistently
named. So for this version the old get acl operation is renamed to
->get_inode_acl() and a new ->get_acl() inode operation taking a
dentry is added. With this we can give both 9p and cifs get and set
acl inode operations and in turn remove their complex custom posix
xattr handlers.
In the future I hope to get rid of the inode method duplication but
it isn't like we have never had this situation. Readdir is just one
example. And frankly, the overall gain in type safety and the more
pleasant api wise are simply too big of a benefit to not accept
this duplication for a while.
- We've done a full audit of every codepaths using variant of the
current generic xattr api to get and set posix acls and
surprisingly it isn't that many places. There's of course always a
chance that we might have missed some and if so I'm sure we'll find
them soon enough.
The crucial codepaths to be converted are obviously stacking
filesystems such as ecryptfs and overlayfs.
For a list of all callers currently using generic xattr api helpers
see [2] including comments whether they support posix acls or not.
- The old vfs generic posix acl infrastructure doesn't obey the
create and replace semantics promised on the setxattr(2) manpage.
This patch series doesn't address this. It really is something we
should revisit later though.
The patches are roughly organized as follows:
(1) Change existing set acl inode operation to take a dentry
argument (Intended to be a non-functional change)
(2) Rename existing get acl method (Intended to be a non-functional
change)
(3) Implement get and set acl inode operations for filesystems that
couldn't implement one before because of the missing dentry.
That's mostly 9p and cifs (Intended to be a non-functional
change)
(4) Build posix acl api, i.e., add vfs_get_acl(), vfs_remove_acl(),
and vfs_set_acl() including security and integrity hooks
(Intended to be a non-functional change)
(5) Implement get and set acl inode operations for stacking
filesystems (Intended to be a non-functional change)
(6) Switch posix acl handling in stacking filesystems to new posix
acl api now that all filesystems it can stack upon support it.
(7) Switch vfs to new posix acl api (semantical change)
(8) Remove all now unused helpers
(9) Additional regression fixes reported after we merged this into
linux-next

Fix tmpfs data loss when the fallocate system call is interrupted by a
signal, or fails for some other reason. The partial folio handling in
shmem_undo_range() forgot to consider this unfalloc case, and was liable
to erase or truncate out data which had already been committed earlier.
It turns out that none of the partial folio handling there is appropriate
for the unfalloc case, which just wants to proceed to removal of whole
folios: which find_get_entries() provides, even when partially covered.

Since commit 9a10064f5625 ("mm: add a field to store names for private
anonymous memory"), name for private anonymous memory, but not shared
anonymous, can be set. However, naming shared anonymous memory just as
useful for tracking purposes.
Extend the functionality to be able to set names for shared anon.
There are two ways to create anonymous shared memory, using memfd or
directly via mmap():
1. fd = memfd_create(...)
mem = mmap(..., MAP_SHARED, fd, ...)
2. mem = mmap(..., MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, ...)
In both cases the anonymous shared memory is created the same way by
mapping an unlinked file on tmpfs.
The memfd way allows to give a name for anonymous shared memory, but
not useful when parts of shared memory require to have distinct names.
Example use case: The VMM maps VM memory as anonymous shared memory (not
private because VMM is sandboxed and drivers are running in their own
processes). However, the VM tells back to the VMM how parts of the memory
are actually used by the guest, how each of the segments should be backed
(i.e. 4K pages, 2M pages), and some other information about the segments.
The naming allows us to monitor the effective memory footprint for each
of these segments from the host without looking inside the guest.
Sample output:
/* Create shared anonymous segmenet */
anon_shmem = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
/* Name the segment: "MY-NAME" */
rv = prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME,
anon_shmem, SIZE, "MY-NAME");
cat /proc/<pid>/maps (and smaps):
7fc8e2b4c000-7fc8f2b4c000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1024 [anon_shmem:MY-NAME]
If the segment is not named, the output is:
7fc8e2b4c000-7fc8f2b4c000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1024 /dev/zero (deleted)

PTE markers are ideal mechanism for things like SWP_SWAPIN_ERROR. Using a
whole swap entry type for this purpose can be an overkill, especially if
we already have PTE markers. Define a new bit for swapin error and
replace it with pte markers. Then we can safely drop SWP_SWAPIN_ERROR and
give one device slot back to swap.
We used to have SWP_SWAPIN_ERROR taking the page pfn as part of the swap
entry, but it's never used. Neither do I see how it can be useful because
normally the swapin failure should not be caused by a bad page but bad
swap device. Drop it alongside.

A while ago Vasily reported that it is possible to set a large number of
xattrs on inodes of filesystems that make use of the simple xattr
infrastructure. This includes all kernfs-based filesystems that support
xattrs (e.g., cgroupfs and tmpfs). Both cgroupfs and tmpfs can be
mounted by unprivileged users in unprivileged containers and root in an
unprivileged container can set an unrestricted number of security.*
xattrs and privileged users can also set unlimited trusted.* xattrs. As
there are apparently users that have a fairly large number of xattrs we
should scale a bit better. Other xattrs such as user.* are restricted
for kernfs-based instances to a fairly limited number.
Using a simple linked list protected by a spinlock used for set, get,
and list operations doesn't scale well if users use a lot of xattrs even
if it's not a crazy number. There's no need to bring in the big guns
like rhashtables or rw semaphores for this. An rbtree with a rwlock, or
limited rcu semanics and seqlock is enough.
It scales within the constraints we are working in. By far the most
common operation is getting an xattr. Setting xattrs should be a
moderately rare operation. And listxattr() often only happens when
copying xattrs between files or together with the contents to a new
file. Holding a lock across listxattr() is unproblematic because it
doesn't list the values of xattrs. It can only be used to list the names
of all xattrs set on a file. And the number of xattr names that can be
listed with listxattr() is limited to XATTR_LIST_MAX aka 65536 bytes. If
a larger buffer is passed then vfs_listxattr() caps it to XATTR_LIST_MAX
and if more xattr names are found it will return -E2BIG. In short, the
maximum amount of memory that can be retrieved via listxattr() is
limited.
Of course, the API is broken as documented on xattr(7) already. In the
future we might want to address this but for now this is the world we
live in and have lived for a long time. But it does indeed mean that
once an application goes over XATTR_LIST_MAX limit of xattrs set on an
inode it isn't possible to copy the file and include its xattrs in the
copy unless the caller knows all xattrs or limits the copy of the xattrs
to important ones it knows by name (At least for tmpfs, and kernfs-based
filesystems. Other filesystems might provide ways of achieving this.).
Bonus of this port to rbtree+rwlock is that we shrink the memory
consumption for users of the simple xattr infrastructure.
Also add proper kernel documentation to all the functions.
A big thanks to Paul for his comments.

Initially, find_get_entries() was being passed in the start offset as a
value. That left the calculation of the offset to the callers. This led
to complexity in the callers trying to keep track of the index.
Now find_get_entries() takes in a pointer to the start offset and updates
the value to be directly after the last entry found. If no entry is
found, the offset is not changed. This gets rid of multiple hacky
calculations that kept track of the start offset.

Patch series "Rework find_get_entries() and find_lock_entries()", v3.
Originally the callers of find_get_entries() and find_lock_entries() were
keeping track of the start index themselves as they traverse the search
range.
This resulted in hacky code such as in shmem_undo_range():
index = folio->index + folio_nr_pages(folio) - 1;
where the - 1 is only present to stay in the right spot after incrementing
index later. This sort of calculation was also being done on every folio
despite not even using index later within that function.
These patches change find_get_entries() and find_lock_entries() to
calculate the new index instead of leaving it to the callers so we can
avoid all these complications.

The kernel test robot flagged a recursive lock as a result of a conversion
from kmap_atomic() to kmap_local_folio()[Link]
The cause was due to the code depending on the kmap_atomic() side effect
of disabling page faults. In that case the code expects the fault to fail
and take the fallback case.
git archaeology implied that the recursion may not be an actual bug.[1]
However, depending on the implementation of the mmap_lock and the
condition of the call there may still be a deadlock.[2] So this is not
purely a lockdep issue. Considering a single threaded call stack there
are 3 options.
1) Different mm's are in play (no issue)
2) Readlock implementation is recursive and same mm is in play
(no issue)
3) Readlock implementation is _not_ recursive (issue)
The mmap_lock is recursive so with a single thread there is no issue.
However, Matthew pointed out a deadlock scenario when you consider
additional process' and threads thusly.
"The readlock implementation is only recursive if nobody else has taken a
write lock. If you have a multithreaded process, one of the other threads
can call mmap() and that will prevent recursion (due to fairness). Even
if it's a different process that you're trying to acquire the mmap read
lock on, you can still get into a deadly embrace. eg:
process A thread 1 takes read lock on own mmap_lock
process A thread 2 calls mmap, blocks taking write lock
process B thread 1 takes page fault, read lock on own mmap lock
process B thread 2 calls mmap, blocks taking write lock
process A thread 1 blocks taking read lock on process B
process B thread 1 blocks taking read lock on process A
Now all four threads are blocked waiting for each other."
Regardless using pagefault_disable() ensures that no matter what locking
implementation is used a deadlock will not occur. Add an explicit
pagefault_disable() and a big comment to explain this for future souls
looking at this code.

The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic
xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to
interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to
userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to
understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of
making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are
building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode
operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths
easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1].
Since some filesystem rely on the dentry being available to them when
setting posix acls (e.g., 9p and cifs) they cannot rely on set acl inode
operation. But since ->set_acl() is required in order to use the generic
posix acl xattr handlers filesystems that do not implement this inode
operation cannot use the handler and need to implement their own
dedicated posix acl handlers.
Update the ->set_acl() inode method to take a dentry argument. This
allows all filesystems to rely on ->set_acl().
As far as I can tell all codepaths can be switched to rely on the dentry
instead of just the inode. Note that the original motivation for passing
the dentry separate from the inode instead of just the dentry in the
xattr handlers was because of security modules that call
security_d_instantiate(). This hook is called during
d_instantiate_new(), d_add(), __d_instantiate_anon(), and
d_splice_alias() to initialize the inode's security context and possibly
to set security.* xattrs. Since this only affects security.* xattrs this
is completely irrelevant for posix acls.

get_random_u32() for several releases now, and compiles down to the
exact same code. Replace the deprecated wrapper with a direct call to

just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). This was done as a basic find

Patch series "mm: add file/shmem support to MADV_COLLAPSE", v4.
This series builds on top of the previous "mm: userspace hugepage
collapse" series which introduced the MADV_COLLAPSE madvise mode and added
support for private, anonymous mappings[2], by adding support for file and
shmem backed memory to CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS=y kernels.
File and shmem support have been added with effort to align with existing
MADV_COLLAPSE semantics and policy decisions[3]. Collapse of shmem-backed
memory ignores kernel-guiding directives and heuristics including all
sysfs settings (transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled), and tmpfs huge= mount
options (shmem always supports large folios). Like anonymous mappings, on
successful return of MADV_COLLAPSE on file/shmem memory, the contents of
memory mapped by the addresses provided will be synchronously pmd-mapped
THPs.
This functionality unlocks two important uses:
(1) Immediately back executable text by THPs. Current support provided
by CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS may take a long time on a large
system which might impair services from serving at their full rated
load after (re)starting. Tricks like mremap(2)'ing text onto
anonymous memory to immediately realize iTLB performance prevents
page sharing and demand paging, both of which increase steady state
memory footprint. Now, we can have the best of both worlds: Peak
upfront performance and lower RAM footprints.
(2) userfaultfd-based live migration of virtual machines satisfy UFFD
faults by fetching native-sized pages over the network (to avoid
latency of transferring an entire hugepage). However, after guest
memory has been fully copied to the new host, MADV_COLLAPSE can
be used to immediately increase guest performance.
khugepaged has received a small improvement by association and can now
detect and collapse pte-mapped THPs. However, there is still work to be
done along the file collapse path. Compound pages of arbitrary order
still needs to be supported and THP collapse needs to be converted to
using folios in general. Eventually, we'd like to move away from the
read-only and executable-mapped constraints currently imposed on eligible
files and support any inode claiming huge folio support. That said, I
think the series as-is covers enough to claim that MADV_COLLAPSE supports
file/shmem memory.
Patches 1-3 Implement the guts of the series.
Patch 4 Is a tracepoint for debugging.
Patches 5-9 Refactor existing khugepaged selftests to work with new
memory types + new collapse tests.
Patch 10 Adds a userfaultfd selftest mode to mimic a functional test
of UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MINOR+MADV_COLLAPSE live migration.
(v4 note: "userfaultfd shmem" selftest is failing as of
Sep 22 mm-unstable)

Extend 'mm/thp: add flag to enforce sysfs THP in hugepage_vma_check()' to
shmem, allowing callers to ignore
/sys/kernel/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled and tmpfs huge= mount.
This is intended to be used by MADV_COLLAPSE, and the rationale is
analogous to the anon/file case: MADV_COLLAPSE is not coupled to
directives that advise the kernel's decisions on when THPs should be
considered eligible. shmem/tmpfs always claims large folio support,
regardless of sysfs or mount options.

NFSv4 mandates a change attribute to avoid problems with timestamp
granularity, which Linux implements using the i_version counter. This is
particularly important when the underlying filesystem is fast.
Give tmpfs an i_version counter. Since it doesn't have to be persistent,
we can just turn on SB_I_VERSION and sprinkle some inode_inc_iversion
calls in the right places.
Also, while there is no formal spec for xattrs, most implementations
update the ctime on setxattr. Fix shmem_xattr_handler_set to update the
ctime and bump the i_version appropriately.

With all callers removed, remove this wrapper function. The flags are now
mysteriously called SGP, but I think we can live with that.

Symlinks will never use a large folio, but using the folio API removes a
