Currently we start transaction for mapping every extent for writing
using direct IO. This is unnecessary when we know we are overwriting
already allocated blocks and the overhead of starting a transaction can
be significant especially for multithreaded workloads doing small writes.
Use iomap operations that avoid starting a transaction for direct IO
overwrites.

IV_INO_LBLK_64 encryption policies have special requirements from the
filesystem beyond those of the existing encryption policies:
- Inode numbers must never change, even if the filesystem is resized.
- Inode numbers must be <= 32 bits.
- File logical block numbers must be <= 32 bits.
ext4 has 32-bit inode and file logical block numbers. However,
resize2fs can re-number inodes when shrinking an ext4 filesystem.
However, typically the people who would want to use this format don't
care about filesystem shrinking. They'd be fine with a solution that
just prevents the filesystem from being shrunk.
Therefore, add a new feature flag EXT4_FEATURE_COMPAT_STABLE_INODES that
will do exactly that. Then wire up the fscrypt_operations to expose
this flag to fs/crypto/, so that it allows IV_INO_LBLK_64 policies when
this flag is set.

So far we have reserved only relatively high fixed amount of revoke
credits for each transaction. We over-reserved by large amount for most
cases but when freeing large directories or files with data journalling,
the fixed amount is not enough. In fact the worst case estimate is
inconveniently large (maximum extent size) for freeing of one extent.
We fix this by doing proper estimate of the amount of blocks that need
to be revoked when removing blocks from the inode due to truncate or
hole punching and otherwise reserve just a small amount of revoke
credits for each transaction to accommodate freeing of xattrs block or
so.

This patch introduces a new direct I/O write path which makes use of
the iomap infrastructure.
All direct I/O writes are now passed from the ->write_iter() callback
through to the new direct I/O handler ext4_dio_write_iter(). This
function is responsible for calling into the iomap infrastructure via
iomap_dio_rw().
Code snippets from the existing direct I/O write code within
ext4_file_write_iter() such as, checking whether the I/O request is
unaligned asynchronous I/O, or whether the write will result in an
overwrite have effectively been moved out and into the new direct I/O
->write_iter() handler.
The block mapping flags that are eventually passed down to
ext4_map_blocks() from the *_get_block_*() suite of routines have been
taken out and introduced within ext4_iomap_alloc().
For inode extension cases, ext4_handle_inode_extension() is
effectively the function responsible for performing such metadata
updates. This is called after iomap_dio_rw() has returned so that we
can safely determine whether we need to potentially truncate any
allocated blocks that may have been prepared for this direct I/O
write. We don't perform the inode extension, or truncate operations
from the ->end_io() handler as we don't have the original I/O 'length'
available there. The ->end_io() however is responsible fo converting
allocated unwritten extents to written extents.
In the instance of a short write, we fallback and complete the
remainder of the I/O using buffered I/O via
ext4_buffered_write_iter().
The existing buffer_head direct I/O implementation has been removed as
it's now redundant.

Since in case of blocksize < pagesize, we can have multiple

maintain a vector of these unwritten extents which needs
the conversion after the IO is complete. Thus, we maintain

Remount process will release system zone which was allocated before if
"noblock_validity" is specified. If we mount an ext4 file system to two
mountpoints with default mount options, and then remount one of them
with "noblock_validity", it may trigger a use after free problem when
someone accessing the other one.

# mount /dev/sda bar
User access mountpoint "foo" | Remount mountpoint "bar"

This problem can also be reproduced by one mountpint, At the same time,
add_system_zone() can get called during remount as well so there can be
racing ext4_data_block_valid() reading the rbtree at the same time.
This patch add RCU to protect system zone from releasing or building
when doing a remount which inverse current "noblock_validity" mount
option. It assign the rbtree after the whole tree was complete and
do actual freeing after rcu grace period, avoid any intermediate state.

The goal of this patch is to remove two references to the buffer delay
bit in ext4_da_page_release_reservation() as part of a larger effort
to remove all such references from ext4. These two references are
principally used to reduce the reserved block/cluster count when pages
are invalidated as a result of truncating, punching holes, or
collapsing a block range in a file. The entire function is removed
and replaced with code in ext4_es_remove_extent() that reduces the
reserved count as a side effect of removing a block range from delayed
and not unwritten extents in the extent status tree as is done when
truncating, punching holes, or collapsing ranges.
The code is written to minimize the number of searches descending from
rb tree roots for scalability.

I got some errors when I repair an ext4 volume which stacked by an
iscsi target:
Entry 'test60' in / (2) has deleted/unused inode 73750. Clear?
It can be reproduced when the network not good enough.
When I debug this I found ext4 will read entry buffer from disk and
the buffer is marked with write_io_error.
If the buffer is marked with write_io_error, it means it already
wroten to journal, and not checked out to disk. IOW, the journal
is newer than the data in disk.
If this journal record 'delete test60', it means the 'test60' still
on the disk metadata.
In this case, if we read the buffer from disk successfully and create
file continue, the new journal record will overwrite the journal
which record 'delete test60', then the entry corruptioned.
So, use the buffer rather than read from disk if the buffer is marked

Make ext4_mpage_readpages() verify data as it is read from fs-verity
files, using the helper functions from fs/verity/.
To support both encryption and verity simultaneously, this required
refactoring the decryption workflow into a generic "post-read
processing" workflow which can do decryption, verification, or both.
The case where the ext4 block size is not equal to the PAGE_SIZE is not
supported yet, since in that case ext4_mpage_readpages() sometimes falls
back to block_read_full_page(), which does not support fs-verity yet.

Add most of fs-verity support to ext4. fs-verity is a filesystem
feature that enables transparent integrity protection and authentication
of read-only files. It uses a dm-verity like mechanism at the file
level: a Merkle tree is used to verify any block in the file in
log(filesize) time. It is implemented mainly by helper functions in
fs/verity/. See Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst for the full
documentation.
This commit adds all of ext4 fs-verity support except for the actual
data verification, including:
- Adding a filesystem feature flag and an inode flag for fs-verity.
- Implementing the fsverity_operations to support enabling verity on an
inode and reading/writing the verity metadata.
- Updating ->write_begin(), ->write_end(), and ->writepages() to support
writing verity metadata pages.
- Calling the fs-verity hooks for ->open(), ->setattr(), and ->ioctl().
ext4 stores the verity metadata (Merkle tree and fsverity_descriptor)
past the end of the file, starting at the first 64K boundary beyond
i_size. This approach works because (a) verity files are readonly, and
(b) pages fully beyond i_size aren't visible to userspace but can be
read/written internally by ext4 with only some relatively small changes
to ext4. This approach avoids having to depend on the EA_INODE feature
and on rearchitecturing ext4's xattr support to support paging
multi-gigabyte xattrs into memory, and to support encrypting xattrs.
Note that the verity metadata *must* be encrypted when the file is,
since it contains hashes of the plaintext data.
This patch incorporates work by Theodore Ts'o and Chandan Rajendra.

Originally, support for expanded timestamps had a bug in that pre-1970
times were erroneously encoded as being in the the 24th century. This
was fixed in commit a4dad1ae24 ("ext4: Fix handling of extended
tv_sec") which landed in 4.4. Starting with 4.4, pre-1970 timestamps
were correctly encoded, but for backwards compatibility those
incorrectly encoded timestamps were mapped back to the pre-1970 dates.
Given that backwards compatibility workaround has been around for 4
years, and given that running e2fsck from e2fsprogs 1.43.2 and later
will offer to fix these timestamps (which has been released for 3
years), it's past time to drop the legacy workaround from the kernel.

...
This patch implements the actual support for case-insensitive file name
lookups in ext4, based on the feature bit and the encoding stored in the
superblock.
A filesystem that has the casefold feature set is able to configure
directories with the +F (EXT4_CASEFOLD_FL) attribute, enabling lookups
to succeed in that directory in a case-insensitive fashion, i.e: match
a directory entry even if the name used by userspace is not a byte per
byte match with the disk name, but is an equivalent case-insensitive
version of the Unicode string. This operation is called a
case-insensitive file name lookup.
The feature is configured as an inode attribute applied to directories
and inherited by its children. This attribute can only be enabled on
empty directories for filesystems that support the encoding feature,
thus preventing collision of file names that only differ by case.
* dcache handling:
For a +F directory, Ext4 only stores the first equivalent name dentry
used in the dcache. This is done to prevent unintentional duplication of
dentries in the dcache, while also allowing the VFS code to quickly find
the right entry in the cache despite which equivalent string was used in
a previous lookup, without having to resort to ->lookup().
d_hash() of casefolded directories is implemented as the hash of the
casefolded string, such that we always have a well-known bucket for all
the equivalencies of the same string. d_compare() uses the
utf8_strncasecmp() infrastructure, which handles the comparison of
equivalent, same case, names as well.
For now, negative lookups are not inserted in the dcache, since they
would need to be invalidated anyway, because we can't trust missing file
dentries. This is bad for performance but requires some leveraging of
the vfs layer to fix. We can live without that for now, and so does
everyone else.
* on-disk data:
Despite using a specific version of the name as the internal
representation within the dcache, the name stored and fetched from the
disk is a byte-per-byte match with what the user requested, making this
implementation 'name-preserving'. i.e. no actual information is lost
when writing to storage.
DX is supported by modifying the hashes used in +F directories to make
them case/encoding-aware. The new disk hashes are calculated as the
hash of the full casefolded string, instead of the string directly.
This allows us to efficiently search for file names in the htree without
requiring the user to provide an exact name.
* Dealing with invalid sequences:
By default, when a invalid UTF-8 sequence is identified, ext4 will treat
it as an opaque byte sequence, ignoring the encoding and reverting to
the old behavior for that unique file. This means that case-insensitive
file name lookup will not work only for that file. An optional bit can
be set in the superblock telling the filesystem code and userspace tools
to enforce the encoding. When that optional bit is set, any attempt to
create a file name using an invalid UTF-8 sequence will fail and return
an error to userspace.
* Normalization algorithm:
The UTF-8 algorithms used to compare strings in ext4 is implemented
lives in fs/unicode, and is based on a previous version developed by
SGI. It implements the Canonical decomposition (NFD) algorithm
described by the Unicode specification 12.1, or higher, combined with
the elimination of ignorable code points (NFDi) and full
case-folding (CF) as documented in fs/unicode/utf8_norm.c.
NFD seems to be the best normalization method for EXT4 because:
- It has a lower cost than NFC/NFKC (which requires
decomposing to NFD as an intermediary step)
- It doesn't eliminate important semantic meaning like
compatibility decompositions.
Although:
- This implementation is not completely linguistic accurate, because
different languages have conflicting rules, which would require the
specialization of the filesystem to a given locale, which brings all
sorts of problems for removable media and for users who use more than
one language.

Support for encoding is considered an incompatible feature, since it has
potential to create collisions of file names in existing filesystems.
If the feature flag is not enabled, the entire filesystem will operate
on opaque byte sequences, respecting the original behavior.
The s_encoding field stores a magic number indicating the encoding
format and version used globally by file and directory names in the
filesystem. The s_encoding_flags defines policies for using the charset
encoding, like how to handle invalid sequences. The magic number is
mapped to the exact charset table, but the mapping is specific to ext4.
Since we don't have any commitment to support old encodings, the only
encoding I am supporting right now is utf8-12.1.0.
The current implementation prevents the user from enabling encoding and
per-directory encryption on the same filesystem at the same time. The
incompatibility between these features lies in how we do efficient
directory searches when we cannot be sure the encryption of the user
provided fname will match the actual hash stored in the disk without
decrypting every directory entry, because of normalization cases. My
quickest solution is to simply block the concurrent use of these
features for now, and enable it later, once we have a better solution.

The flags field in 'struct shash_desc' never actually does anything.
The only ostensibly supported flag is CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP.
However, no shash algorithm ever sleeps, making this flag a no-op.
With this being the case, inevitably some users who can't sleep wrongly
pass MAY_SLEEP. These would all need to be fixed if any shash algorithm
actually started sleeping. For example, the shash_ahash_*() functions,
which wrap a shash algorithm with the ahash API, pass through MAY_SLEEP
from the ahash API to the shash API. However, the shash functions are
called under kmap_atomic(), so actually they're assumed to never sleep.
Even if it turns out that some users do need preemption points while
hashing large buffers, we could easily provide a helper function
crypto_shash_update_large() which divides the data into smaller chunks
and calls crypto_shash_update() and cond_resched() for each chunk. It's
not necessary to have a flag in 'struct shash_desc', nor is it necessary
to make individual shash algorithms aware of this at all.
Therefore, remove shash_desc::flags, and document that the
crypto_shash_*() functions can be called from any context.

->lookup() in an encrypted directory begins as follows:
1. fscrypt_prepare_lookup():
a. Try to load the directory's encryption key.
b. If the key is unavailable, mark the dentry as a ciphertext name
via d_flags.
2. fscrypt_setup_filename():
a. Try to load the directory's encryption key.
b. If the key is available, encrypt the name (treated as a plaintext
name) to get the on-disk name. Otherwise decode the name
(treated as a ciphertext name) to get the on-disk name.
But if the key is concurrently added, it may be found at (2a) but not at
(1a). In this case, the dentry will be wrongly marked as a ciphertext
name even though it was actually treated as plaintext.
This will cause the dentry to be wrongly invalidated on the next lookup,
potentially causing problems. For example, if the racy ->lookup() was
part of sys_mount(), then the new mount will be detached when anything
tries to access it. This is despite the mountpoint having a plaintext
path, which should remain valid now that the key was added.
Of course, this is only possible if there's a userspace race. Still,
the additional kernel-side race is confusing and unexpected.
Close the kernel-side race by changing fscrypt_prepare_lookup() to also
set the on-disk filename (step 2b), consistent with the d_flags update.

If we receive a file handle, either from NFS or open_by_handle_at(2),

So instead we create our own ext4_sb_bread(), which also allows us to

which are compiler-agnostic (so they can be shared, reducing the size

Other related improvements have been performed in the headers as well,
which on top of the use of __has_attribute it has amounted to a significant

This series should also help the efforts to support compiling the kernel
with clang and icc. A fair amount of documentation and comments have also
been added, clarified or removed; and the headers are now more readable,
which should help kernel developers in general.
The series was triggered due to the move to gcc >= 4.6. In turn, this series
has also triggered Sparse to gain the ability to recognize __has_attribute
on its own.
Finally, the __nonstring variable attribute series has been also applied
on top; plus two related patches from Nick Desaulniers for unreachable()
that came a bit afterwards.

kernel with clang and icc. A fair amount of documentation and comments
have also been added, clarified or removed; and the headers are now
more readable, which should help kernel developers in general.
The series was triggered due to the move to gcc >= 4.6. In turn, this
series has also triggered Sparse to gain the ability to recognize
__has_attribute on its own.
Finally, the __nonstring variable attribute series has been also
applied on top; plus two related patches from Nick Desaulniers for
unreachable() that came a bit afterwards"
