autofs: fix use-after-free in lockless ->d_manage()
dcache: sort the freeing-without-RCU-delay mess for good.
acct_on(): don't mess with freeze protection
A lot of ->destroy_inode() instances end with call_rcu() of a callback
that does RCU-delayed part of freeing. Introduce a new method for
doing just that, with saner signature.
Rules:
->destroy_inode ->free_inode
f g immediate call of f(),
RCU-delayed call of g()
f NULL immediate call of f(),
no RCU-delayed calls
NULL g RCU-delayed call of g()
NULL NULL RCU-delayed default freeing
IOW, NULL ->free_inode gives the same behaviour as now.
Note that NULL, NULL is equivalent to NULL, free_inode_nonrcu; we could
mandate the latter form, but that would have very little benefit beyond
making rules a bit more symmetric. It would break backwards compatibility,
require extra boilerplate and expected semantics for (NULL, NULL) pair
would have no use whatsoever...

No modular uses since introducion of alloc_file_pseudo(),

had actually been wrong - should've been d_alloc_anon().
Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
For lockless accesses to dentries we don't have pinned we rely
(among other things) upon having an RCU delay between dropping
the last reference and actually freeing the memory.
On the other hand, for things like pipes and sockets we neither
do that kind of lockless access, nor want to deal with the
overhead of an RCU delay every time a socket gets closed.
So delay was made optional - setting DCACHE_RCUACCESS in ->d_flags
made sure it would happen. We tried to avoid setting it unless
we knew we need it. Unfortunately, that had led to recurring
class of bugs, in which we missed the need to set it.
We only really need it for dentries that are created by
d_alloc_pseudo(), so let's not bother with trying to be smart -
just make having an RCU delay the default. The ones that do
*not* get it set the replacement flag (DCACHE_NORCU) and we'd
better use that sparingly. d_alloc_pseudo() is the only
such user right now.
FWIW, the race that finally prompted that switch had been
between __lock_parent() of immediate subdirectory of what's
currently the root of a disconnected tree (e.g. from
open-by-handle in progress) racing with d_splice_alias()
elsewhere picking another alias for the same inode, either
on outright corrupted fs image, or (in case of open-by-handle
on NFS) that subdirectory having been just moved on server.
It's not easy to hit, so the sky is not falling, but that's
not the first race on similar missed cases and the logics
for settinf DCACHE_RCUACCESS has gotten ridiculously
convoluted.

- run discard jobs at unmount time with timeout
- tune discarding thread to avoid idling which consumes power
- some checking codes to address vulnerabilities
- give random value to i_generation
- shutdown with more flags for QA
Bug fix:
- clean up stale objects when mount is failed along with checkpoint=disable
- fix system being stuck due to wrong count by atomic writes
- handle some corrupted disk cases
- fix a deadlock in f2fs_read_inline_dir

conversions of individual filesystems can happen independently; some
are done here (afs, cgroup, procfs, etc.), there's also a large series
outside of that pile dealing with NFS (quite a bit of option-parsing
stuff is getting used there - it's one of the most convoluted
filesystems in terms of mount-related logics), but NFS bits are the
next cycle fodder.
It got seriously simplified since the last cycle; documentation is
probably the weakest bit at the moment - I considered dropping the
commit introducing Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt (cutting
the size increase by quarter ;-), but decided that it would be better
to fix it up after -rc1 instead.
That pile allows to do followup work in independent branches, which
should make life much easier for the next cycle. fs/super.c size
increase is unpleasant; there's a followup series that allows to
shrink it considerably, but I decided to leave that until the next

First: Ted, Jaegeuk, and I have decided to add me as a co-maintainer for
fscrypt, and we're now using a shared git tree. So we've updated
MAINTAINERS accordingly, and I'm doing the pull request this time.
The actual changes for v5.1 are:
- Remove the fs-specific kconfig options like CONFIG_EXT4_ENCRYPTION and
make fscrypt support for all fscrypt-capable filesystems be controlled
by CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION, similar to how CONFIG_QUOTA works.
- Improve error code for rename() and link() into encrypted directories.
- Various cleanups.

Currently, trying to rename or link a regular file, directory, or
symlink into an encrypted directory fails with EPERM when the source
file is unencrypted or is encrypted with a different encryption policy,
and is on the same mountpoint. It is correct for the operation to fail,
but the choice of EPERM breaks tools like 'mv' that know to copy rather
than rename if they see EXDEV, but don't know what to do with EPERM.
Our original motivation for EPERM was to encourage users to securely
handle their data. Encrypting files by "moving" them into an encrypted
directory can be insecure because the unencrypted data may remain in
free space on disk, where it can later be recovered by an attacker.
It's much better to encrypt the data from the start, or at least try to
securely delete the source data e.g. using the 'shred' program.
However, the current behavior hasn't been effective at achieving its
goal because users tend to be confused, hack around it, and complain;
see e.g. https://github.com/google/fscrypt/issues/76. And in some cases
it's actually inconsistent or unnecessary. For example, 'mv'-ing files
between differently encrypted directories doesn't work even in cases
where it can be secure, such as when in userspace the same passphrase
protects both directories. Yet, you *can* already 'mv' unencrypted
files into an encrypted directory if the source files are on a different
mountpoint, even though doing so is often insecure.
There are probably better ways to teach users to securely handle their
files. For example, the 'fscrypt' userspace tool could provide a
command that migrates unencrypted files into an encrypted directory,
acting like 'shred' on the source files and providing appropriate
warnings depending on the type of the source filesystem and disk.
Receiving errors on unimportant files might also force some users to
disable encryption, thus making the behavior counterproductive. It's
desirable to make encryption as unobtrusive as possible.
Therefore, change the error code from EPERM to EXDEV so that tools
looking for EXDEV will fall back to a copy.
This, of course, doesn't prevent users from still doing the right things
to securely manage their files. Note that this also matches the
behavior when a file is renamed between two project quota hierarchies;
so there's precedent for using EXDEV for things other than mountpoints.
xfstests generic/398 will require an update with this change.

"Add Adiantum support for fscrypt"
* tag 'fscrypt_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/fscrypt:
fscrypt: add Adiantum support
Add support for the Adiantum encryption mode to fscrypt. Adiantum is a
tweakable, length-preserving encryption mode with security provably
reducible to that of XChaCha12 and AES-256, subject to a security bound.
It's also a true wide-block mode, unlike XTS. See the paper
"Adiantum: length-preserving encryption for entry-level processors"
(https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/720.pdf) for more details. Also see
commit 059c2a4d8e ("crypto: adiantum - add Adiantum support").
On sufficiently long messages, Adiantum's bottlenecks are XChaCha12 and
the NH hash function. These algorithms are fast even on processors
without dedicated crypto instructions. Adiantum makes it feasible to
enable storage encryption on low-end mobile devices that lack AES
instructions; currently such devices are unencrypted. On ARM Cortex-A7,
on 4096-byte messages Adiantum encryption is about 4 times faster than
AES-256-XTS encryption; decryption is about 5 times faster.
In fscrypt, Adiantum is suitable for encrypting both file contents and
names. With filenames, it fixes a known weakness: when two filenames in
a directory share a common prefix of >= 16 bytes, with CTS-CBC their
encrypted filenames share a common prefix too, leaking information.
Adiantum does not have this problem.
Since Adiantum also accepts long tweaks (IVs), it's also safe to use the
master key directly for Adiantum encryption rather than deriving
per-file keys, provided that the per-file nonce is included in the IVs
and the master key isn't used for any other encryption mode. This
configuration saves memory and improves performance. A new fscrypt
policy flag is added to allow users to opt-in to this configuration.

David Rientjes has reported that commit 1860033237 ("mm: make
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active") has changed the way how we
report THPable VMAs to the userspace. Their monitoring tool is
triggering false alarms on PR_SET_THP_DISABLE tasks because it considers
an insufficient THP usage as a memory fragmentation resp. memory
pressure issue.
Before the said commit each newly created VMA inherited VM_NOHUGEPAGE
flag and that got exposed to the userspace via /proc/<pid>/smaps file.
This implementation had its downsides as explained in the commit message
but it is true that the userspace doesn't have any means to query for
the process wide THP enabled/disabled status.
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is a process wide flag so it makes a lot of sense to
export in the process wide context rather than per-vma. Introduce a new
field to /proc/<pid>/status which export this status. If
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is used then it reports false same as when the THP is
not compiled in. It doesn't consider the global THP status because we
already export that information via sysfs

Userspace falls short when trying to find out whether a specific memory
range is eligible for THP. There are usecases that would like to know
that
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809251248450.50347@chino.kir.corp.google.com
: This is used to identify heap mappings that should be able to fault thp
: but do not, and they normally point to a low-on-memory or fragmentation
: issue.
The only way to deduce this now is to query for hg resp. nh flags and
confronting the state with the global setting. Except that there is also
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE that might change the picture. So the final logic is
not trivial. Moreover the eligibility of the vma depends on the type of
VMA as well. In the past we have supported only anononymous memory VMAs
but things have changed and shmem based vmas are supported as well these
days and the query logic gets even more complicated because the
eligibility depends on the mount option and another global configuration
knob.
Simplify the current state and report the THP eligibility in
/proc/<pid>/smaps for each existing vma. Reuse
transparent_hugepage_enabled for this purpose. The original
implementation of this function assumes that the caller knows that the vma
itself is supported for THP so make the core checks into
__transparent_hugepage_enabled and use it for existing callers.
__show_smap just use the new transparent_hugepage_enabled which also
checks the vma support status (please note that this one has to be out of
line due to include dependency issues).

Patch series "THP eligibility reporting via proc".
This series of three patches aims at making THP eligibility reporting much
more robust and long term sustainable. The trigger for the change is a
regression report [2] and the long follow up discussion. In short the
specific application didn't have good API to query whether a particular
mapping can be backed by THP so it has used VMA flags to workaround that.
These flags represent a deep internal state of VMAs and as such they
should be used by userspace with a great deal of caution.
A similar has happened for [3] when users complained that VM_MIXEDMAP is
no longer set on DAX mappings. Again a lack of a proper API led to an
abuse.
The first patch in the series tries to emphasise that that the semantic of
flags might change and any application consuming those should be really
careful.
The remaining two patches provide a more suitable interface to address [2]
and provide a consistent API to query the THP status both for each VMA and
process wide as well. [1]
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181120103515.25280-1-mhocko@kernel.org [2]
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809241054050.224429@chino.kir.corp.google.com
[3] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181002100531.GC4135@quack2.suse.cz
This patch (of 3):
Even though vma flags exported via /proc/<pid>/smaps are explicitly
documented to be not guaranteed for future compatibility the warning
doesn't go far enough because it doesn't mention semantic changes to those
flags. And they are important as well because these flags are a deep
implementation internal to the MM code and the semantic might change at
any time.
Let's consider two recent examples:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181002100531.GC4135@quack2.suse.cz
: commit e1fb4a0864 "dax: remove VM_MIXEDMAP for fsdax and device dax" has
: removed VM_MIXEDMAP flag from DAX VMAs. Now our testing shows that in the
: mean time certain customer of ours started poking into /proc/<pid>/smaps
: and looks at VMA flags there and if VM_MIXEDMAP is missing among the VMA
: flags, the application just fails to start complaining that DAX support is
: missing in the kernel.
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809241054050.224429@chino.kir.corp.google.com
: Commit 1860033237 ("mm: make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active")
: introduced a regression in that userspace cannot always determine the set
: of vmas where thp is ineligible.
: Userspace relies on the "nh" flag being emitted as part of /proc/pid/smaps
: to determine if a vma is eligible to be backed by hugepages.
: Previous to this commit, prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, 1) would cause thp to
: be disabled and emit "nh" as a flag for the corresponding vmas as part of
: /proc/pid/smaps. After the commit, thp is disabled by means of an mm
: flag and "nh" is not emitted.
: This causes smaps parsing libraries to assume a vma is eligible for thp
: and ends up puzzling the user on why its memory is not backed by thp.
In both cases userspace was relying on a semantic of a specific VMA flag.
The primary reason why that happened is a lack of a proper interface.
While this has been worked on and it will be fixed properly, it seems that
our wording could see some refinement and be more vocal about semantic
aspect of these flags as well.

Current behavior is to automatically disable metacopy if redirect_dir is
not enabled and proceed with the mount.
If "metacopy=on" mount option was given, then this behavior can confuse the
user: no mount failure, yet metacopy is disabled.
This patch makes metacopy=on imply redirect_dir=on.
The converse is also true: turning off full redirect with redirect_dir=
{off|follow|nofollow} will disable metacopy.
If both metacopy=on and redirect_dir={off|follow|nofollow} is specified,
then mount will fail, since there's no way to correctly resolve the
conflict.

Plumb in a remap flag that enables the filesystem remap handler to
shorten remapping requests for callers that can handle it. Now
copy_file_range can report partial success (in case we run up against
alignment problems, resource limits, etc.).
We also enable CAN_SHORTEN for fideduperange to maintain existing
userspace-visible behavior where xfs/btrfs shorten the dedupe range to
avoid stale post-eof data exposure.

Change the remap_file_range functions to take a number of bytes to
operate upon and return the number of bytes they operated on. This is a
requirement for allowing fs implementations to return short clone/dedupe
results to the user, which will enable us to obey resource limits in a
graceful manner.
A subsequent patch will enable copy_file_range to signal to the
->clone_file_range implementation that it can handle a short length,
which will be returned in the function's return value. For now the
short return is not implemented anywhere so the behavior won't change --
either copy_file_range manages to clone the entire range or it tries an
alternative.
Neither clone ioctl can take advantage of this, alas.

The vmstat NR_KERNEL_MISC_RECLAIMABLE counter is for kernel non-slab
allocations that can be reclaimed via shrinker. In /proc/meminfo, we can
show the sum of all reclaimable kernel allocations (including slab) as
"KReclaimable". Add the same counter also to per-node meminfo under /sys
With this counter, users will have more complete information about kernel
memory usage. Non-slab reclaimable pages (currently just the ION
allocator) will not be missing from /proc/meminfo, making users wonder
where part of their memory went. More precisely, they already appear in
MemAvailable, but without the new counter, it's not obvious why the value
in MemAvailable doesn't fully correspond with the sum of other counters
participating in it.

- add checkpoint=disable/enable to support A/B update of entire filesystem
- use plug for readahead IO in readdir
- add more IO counts to avoid block layer hacks
Bug fix:

- fix IO hang issues when GC is heavily triggered
- add missing up_read in __write_node_page
- recover inode metadata during roll-forward recovery flow
- fix null pointer dereference issue in wrongly configured discard map

support for UBIFS. Authentication is enabled when the newly introduced
auth_key and auth_hash_name mount options are passed. auth_key provides
the key which is used for authentication whereas auth_hash_name provides
the hashing algorithm used for this FS. Passing these options make
authentication mandatory and only UBIFS images that can be authenticated
with the given key are allowed.

Add a new mount option 'nocopyfrom' that will prevent the usage of the
RADOS 'copy-from' operation in cephfs. This could be useful, for example,
for an administrator to temporarily mitigate any possible bugs in the
'copy-from' implementation.
Currently, only copy_file_range uses this RADOS operation. Setting this
mount option will result in this syscall reverting to the default VFS
implementation, i.e. to perform the copies locally instead of doing remote
object copies.

Note that, it requires "f2fs: return correct errno in f2fs_gc".
This adds a lightweight non-persistent snapshotting scheme to f2fs.
To use, mount with the option checkpoint=disable, and to return to
normal operation, remount with checkpoint=enable. If the filesystem
is shut down before remounting with checkpoint=enable, it will revert
back to its apparent state when it was first mounted with
checkpoint=disable. This is useful for situations where you wish to be
able to roll back the state of the disk in case of some critical
failure.

This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.
The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)
A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.
A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.
List of outdated 00-INDEX:

Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
00-INDEX).
I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.
As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
see where the discussion is going.

These are unused, undesired, and have never actually been used by
anybody. The original authors of this code have changed their mind about
its inclusion. While originally proposed for disk encryption on low-end
devices, the idea was discarded [1] in favor of something else before
that could really get going. Therefore, this patch removes Speck.

This is going to be used by overlayfs and possibly useful

In this round, we've tuned f2fs to improve general performance by serializing
block allocation and enhancing discard flows like fstrim which avoids user IO
contention. And we've added fsync_mode=nobarrier which gives an option to user
where it skips issuing cache_flush commands to underlying flash storage. And
there are many bug fixes related to fuzzed images, revoked atomic writes, quota
ops, and minor direct IO.
Enhancement:
- add fsync_mode=nobarrier which bypasses cache_flush command
- enhance the discarding flow which avoids user IOs and issues in LBA order
- readahead some encrypted blocks during GC
- enable in-memory inode checksum to verify the blocks if F2FS_CHECK_FS is set
- enhance nat_bits behavior
- set -o discard by default
- set REQ_RAHEAD to bio in ->readpages
Bug fixes:
- fix a corner case to corrupt atomic_writes revoking flow
- revisit i_gc_rwsem to fix race conditions
- fix some dio behaviors captured by xfstests
- correct handling errors given by quota-related failures
- add many sanity check flows to avoid fuzz test failures
- add more error number propagation to their callers
- fix several corner cases to continue fault injection w/ shutdown loop
