[ Upstream commit 0769663b4f580566ef6cdf366f3073dbe8022c39 ]

According to the NFSv4.2 spec if the input and output file is the
same file, operation should fail with EINVAL. However, linux
copy_file_range() system call has no such restrictions. Therefore,
in such case let's return EOPNOTSUPP and allow VFS to fallback
to doing do_splice_direct(). Also when copy_file_range is called
on an NFSv4.0 or 4.1 mount (ie., a server that doesn't support
COPY functionality), we also need to return EOPNOTSUPP and
fallback to a regular copy.

Fixes xfstest generic/075, generic/091, generic/112, generic/263
for all NFSv4.x versions.

<title>fs: stream_open - opener for stream-like files so that read and write can run simultaneously without deadlock</title>

[ Upstream commit 10dce8af34226d90fa56746a934f8da5dcdba3df ]

Commit 9c225f2655e3 ("vfs: atomic f_pos accesses as per POSIX") added
locking for file.f_pos access and in particular made concurrent read and
write not possible - now both those functions take f_pos lock for the
whole run, and so if e.g. a read is blocked waiting for data, write will
deadlock waiting for that read to complete.

This caused regression for stream-like files where previously read and
write could run simultaneously, but after that patch could not do so
anymore. See e.g. commit 581d21a2d02a ("xenbus: fix deadlock on writes
to /proc/xen/xenbus") which fixes such regression for particular case of
/proc/xen/xenbus.

The patch that added f_pos lock in 2014 did so to guarantee POSIX thread
safety for read/write/lseek and added the locking to file descriptors of
all regular files. In 2014 that thread-safety problem was not new as it
was already discussed earlier in 2006.

However even though 2006'th version of Linus's patch was adding f_pos
locking "only for files that are marked seekable with FMODE_LSEEK (thus
avoiding the stream-like objects like pipes and sockets)", the 2014
version - the one that actually made it into the tree as 9c225f2655e3 -
is doing so irregardless of whether a file is seekable or not.

See

    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/53022DB1.4070805@gmail.com/
    https://lwn.net/Articles/180387
    https://lwn.net/Articles/180396

for historic context.

The reason that it did so is, probably, that there are many files that
are marked non-seekable, but e.g. their read implementation actually
depends on knowing current position to correctly handle the read. Some
examples:

	kernel/power/user.c		snapshot_read
	fs/debugfs/file.c		u32_array_read
	fs/fuse/control.c		fuse_conn_waiting_read + ...
	drivers/hwmon/asus_atk0110.c	atk_debugfs_ggrp_read
	arch/s390/hypfs/inode.c		hypfs_read_iter
	...

Despite that, many nonseekable_open users implement read and write with
pure stream semantics - they don't depend on passed ppos at all. And for
those cases where read could wait for something inside, it creates a
situation similar to xenbus - the write could be never made to go until
read is done, and read is waiting for some, potentially external, event,
for potentially unbounded time -&gt; deadlock.

Besides xenbus, there are 14 such places in the kernel that I've found
with semantic patch (see below):

	drivers/xen/evtchn.c:667:8-24: ERROR: evtchn_fops: .read() can deadlock .write()
	drivers/isdn/capi/capi.c:963:8-24: ERROR: capi_fops: .read() can deadlock .write()

	net/rfkill/core.c:1146:8-24: ERROR: rfkill_fops: .read() can deadlock .write()
	drivers/s390/char/fs3270.c:488:1-17: ERROR: fs3270_fops: .read() can deadlock .write()
	drivers/usb/misc/ldusb.c:310:1-17: ERROR: ld_usb_fops: .read() can deadlock .write()
	drivers/hid/uhid.c:635:1-17: ERROR: uhid_fops: .read() can deadlock .write()
	net/batman-adv/icmp_socket.c:80:1-17: ERROR: batadv_fops: .read() can deadlock .write()
	drivers/media/rc/lirc_dev.c:198:1-17: ERROR: lirc_fops: .read() can deadlock .write()
	drivers/leds/uleds.c:77:1-17: ERROR: uleds_fops: .read() can deadlock .write()

	drivers/gnss/core.c:45:1-17: ERROR: gnss_fops: .read() can deadlock .write()

In addition to the cases above another regression caused by f_pos
locking is that now FUSE filesystems that implement open with
FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE flag, can no longer implement bidirectional
stream-like files - for the same reason as above e.g. read can deadlock
write locking on file.f_pos in the kernel.

FUSE's FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE was added in 2008 in a7c1b990f715 ("fuse:
implement nonseekable open") to support OSSPD. OSSPD implements /dev/dsp
in userspace with FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE flag, with corresponding read and
write routines not depending on current position at all, and with both
read and write being potentially blocking operations:

See

    https://github.com/libfuse/osspd
    https://lwn.net/Articles/308445

    https://github.com/libfuse/osspd/blob/14a9cff0/osspd.c#L1406
    https://github.com/libfuse/osspd/blob/14a9cff0/osspd.c#L1438-L1477
    https://github.com/libfuse/osspd/blob/14a9cff0/osspd.c#L1479-L1510

Corresponding libfuse example/test also describes FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE as
"somewhat pipe-like files ..." with read handler not using offset.
However that test implements only read without write and cannot exercise
the deadlock scenario:

    https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/blob/fuse-3.4.2-3-ga1bff7d/example/poll.c#L124-L131
    https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/blob/fuse-3.4.2-3-ga1bff7d/example/poll.c#L146-L163
    https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/blob/fuse-3.4.2-3-ga1bff7d/example/poll.c#L209-L216

I've actually hit the read vs write deadlock for real while implementing
my FUSE filesystem where there is /head/watch file, for which open
creates separate bidirectional socket-like stream in between filesystem
and its user with both read and write being later performed
simultaneously. And there it is semantically not easy to split the
stream into two separate read-only and write-only channels:

    https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/wendelin.core/blob/f13aa600/wcfs/wcfs.go#L88-169

Let's fix this regression. The plan is:

1. We can't change nonseekable_open to include &amp;~FMODE_ATOMIC_POS -
   doing so would break many in-kernel nonseekable_open users which
   actually use ppos in read/write handlers.

2. Add stream_open() to kernel to open stream-like non-seekable file
   descriptors. Read and write on such file descriptors would never use
   nor change ppos. And with that property on stream-like files read and
   write will be running without taking f_pos lock - i.e. read and write
   could be running simultaneously.

3. With semantic patch search and convert to stream_open all in-kernel
   nonseekable_open users for which read and write actually do not
   depend on ppos and where there is no other methods in file_operations
   which assume @offset access.

4. Add FOPEN_STREAM to fs/fuse/ and open in-kernel file-descriptors via
   steam_open if that bit is present in filesystem open reply.

   It was tempting to change fs/fuse/ open handler to use stream_open
   instead of nonseekable_open on just FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE flags, but
   grepping through Debian codesearch shows users of FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE,
   and in particular GVFS which actually uses offset in its read and
   write handlers

	https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=-%3Enonseekable+%3D
	https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/blob/1.40.0-6-gcbc54396/client/gvfsfusedaemon.c#L1080
	https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/blob/1.40.0-6-gcbc54396/client/gvfsfusedaemon.c#L1247-1346
	https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/blob/1.40.0-6-gcbc54396/client/gvfsfusedaemon.c#L1399-1481

   so if we would do such a change it will break a real user.

5. Add stream_open and FOPEN_STREAM handling to stable kernels starting
   from v3.14+ (the kernel where 9c225f2655 first appeared).

   This will allow to patch OSSPD and other FUSE filesystems that
   provide stream-like files to return FOPEN_STREAM | FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE
   in their open handler and this way avoid the deadlock on all kernel
   versions. This should work because fs/fuse/ ignores unknown open
   flags returned from a filesystem and so passing FOPEN_STREAM to a
   kernel that is not aware of this flag cannot hurt. In turn the kernel
   that is not aware of FOPEN_STREAM will be &lt; v3.14 where just
   FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE is sufficient to implement streams without read vs
   write deadlock.

This patch adds stream_open, converts /proc/xen/xenbus to it and adds
semantic patch to automatically locate in-kernel places that are either
required to be converted due to read vs write deadlock, or that are just
safe to be converted because read and write do not use ppos and there
are no other funky methods in file_operations.

Regarding semantic patch I've verified each generated change manually -
that it is correct to convert - and each other nonseekable_open instance
left - that it is either not correct to convert there, or that it is not
converted due to current stream_open.cocci limitations.

The script also does not convert files that should be valid to convert,
but that currently have .llseek = noop_llseek or generic_file_llseek for
unknown reason despite file being opened with nonseekable_open (e.g.
drivers/input/mousedev.c)

<title>hugetlbfs: fix memory leak for resv_map</title>

[ Upstream commit 58b6e5e8f1addd44583d61b0a03c0f5519527e35 ]

When mknod is used to create a block special file in hugetlbfs, it will
allocate an inode and kmalloc a 'struct resv_map' via resv_map_alloc().
inode-&gt;i_mapping-&gt;private_data will point the newly allocated resv_map.
However, when the device special file is opened bd_acquire() will set
inode-&gt;i_mapping to bd_inode-&gt;i_mapping.  Thus the pointer to the
allocated resv_map is lost and the structure is leaked.

Programs to reproduce:
        mount -t hugetlbfs nodev hugetlbfs
        mknod hugetlbfs/dev b 0 0
        exec 30&lt;&gt; hugetlbfs/dev
        umount hugetlbfs/

resv_map structures are only needed for inodes which can have associated
page allocations.  To fix the leak, only allocate resv_map for those
inodes which could possibly be associated with page allocations.

more obvious that -&gt;evict_inode() can be dropped.

[ Upstream commit 8c7ae38d1ce12a0eaeba655df8562552b3596c7f ]

The marshalling of AFS.StoreData, AFS.StoreData64 and YFS.StoreData64 calls
generated by -&gt;setattr() ops for the purpose of expanding a file is
incorrect due to older documentation incorrectly describing the way the RPC
'FileLength' parameter is meant to work.

The older documentation says that this is the length the file is meant to
end up at the end of the operation; however, it was never implemented this
way in any of the servers, but rather the file is truncated down to this
before the write operation is effected, and never expanded to it (and,
indeed, it was renamed to 'TruncPos' in 2014).

Fix this by setting the position parameter to the new file length and doing
a zero-lengh write there.

The bug causes Xwayland to SIGBUS due to unexpected non-expansion of a file
it then mmaps.  This can be tested by giving the following test program a
filename in an AFS directory:

	#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
	#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
	#include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/mman.h&gt;
	int main(int argc, char *argv[])
	{
		char *p;
		int fd;
		if (argc != 2) {
			fprintf(stderr,
				"Format: test-trunc-mmap &lt;file&gt;\n");
			exit(2);
		}
		fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC);
		if (fd &lt; 0) {
			perror(argv[1]);
			exit(1);
		}
		if (ftruncate(fd, 0x140008) == -1) {
			perror("ftruncate");
			exit(1);
		}
		p = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
			 MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
		if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
			perror("mmap");
			exit(1);
		}
		p[0] = 'a';
		if (munmap(p, 4096) &lt; 0) {
			perror("munmap");
			exit(1);
		}
		if (close(fd) &lt; 0) {
			perror("close");
			exit(1);
		}
		exit(0);
	}

[ Upstream commit 609e804d771f59dc5d45a93e5ee0053c74bbe2bf ]

When we are mixing buffered writes with direct IO writes against the same
file and snapshotting is happening concurrently, we can end up with a
corrupt file content in the snapshot. Example:

1) Inode/file is empty.

2) Snapshotting starts.

2) Buffered write at offset 0 length 256Kb. This updates the i_size of the
   inode to 256Kb, disk_i_size remains zero. This happens after the task
   doing the snapshot flushes all existing delalloc.

3) DIO write at offset 256Kb length 768Kb. Once the ordered extent
   completes it sets the inode's disk_i_size to 1Mb (256Kb + 768Kb) and
   updates the inode item in the fs tree with a size of 1Mb (which is
   the value of disk_i_size).

4) The dealloc for the range [0, 256Kb[ did not start yet.

5) The transaction used in the DIO ordered extent completion, which updated
   the inode item, is committed by the snapshotting task.

6) Snapshot creation completes.

7) Dealloc for the range [0, 256Kb[ is flushed.

After that when reading the file from the snapshot we always get zeroes for
the range [0, 256Kb[, the file has a size of 1Mb and the data written by
the direct IO write is found. From an application's point of view this is
a corruption, since in the source subvolume it could never read a version
of the file that included the data from the direct IO write without the
data from the buffered write included as well. In the snapshot's tree,
file extent items are missing for the range [0, 256Kb[.

The issue, obviously, does not happen when using the -o flushoncommit
mount option.

Fix this by flushing delalloc for all the roots that are about to be
snapshotted when committing a transaction. This guarantees total ordering
when updating the disk_i_size of an inode since the flush for dealloc is
done when a transaction is in the TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START state and wait
is done once no more external writers exist. This is similar to what we
do when using the flushoncommit mount option, but we do it only if the
transaction has snapshots to create and only for the roots of the
subvolumes to be snapshotted. The bulk of the dealloc is flushed in the
snapshot creation ioctl, so the flush work we do inside the transaction
is minimized.

This issue, involving buffered and direct IO writes with snapshotting, is
often triggered by fstest btrfs/078, and got reported by fsck when not
using the NO_HOLES features, for example:

  $ cat results/btrfs/078.full
  (...)
  _check_btrfs_filesystem: filesystem on /dev/sdc is inconsistent
  *** fsck.btrfs output ***
  [1/7] checking root items
  [2/7] checking extents
  [3/7] checking free space cache
  [4/7] checking fs roots
  root 258 inode 264 errors 100, file extent discount
  Found file extent holes:
        start: 524288, len: 65536
  ERROR: errors found in fs roots

commit 15fab63e1e57be9fdb5eec1bbc5916e9825e9acb upstream.

Change pipe_buf_get() to return a bool indicating whether it succeeded
in raising the refcount of the page (if the thing in the pipe is a page).
This removes another mechanism for overflowing the page refcount.  All
callers converted to handle a failure.
