fs: export an inode_update_time helper

2021-11-26T09:39:22Z

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.

new helper: inode_wrong_type()

2021-09-08T06:49:01Z

commit 6e3e2c4362e41a2f18e3f7a5ad81bd2f49a47b85 upstream. inode_wrong_type(inode, mode) returns true if setting inode->i_mode to given value would've changed the inode type. We have enough of those checks open-coded to make a helper worthwhile. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

fs: Handle I_DONTCACHE in iput_final() instead of generic_drop_inode()

2020-12-30T10:53:49Z

[ Upstream commit 88149082bb8ef31b289673669e080ec6a00c2e59 ] If generic_drop_inode() returns true, it means iput_final() can evict this inode regardless of whether it is dirty or not. If we check I_DONTCACHE in generic_drop_inode(), any inode with this bit set will be evicted unconditionally. This is not the desired behavior because I_DONTCACHE only means the inode shouldn't be cached on the LRU list. As for whether we need to evict this inode, this is what generic_drop_inode() should do. This patch corrects the usage of I_DONTCACHE. This patch was proposed in [1].

Pull fs freeze fix and cleanups from Darrick Wong: "A single vfs fix for 5.10, along with two subsequent cleanups. A very long time ago, a hack was added to the vfs fs freeze protection code to work around lockdep complaints about XFS, which would try to run a transaction (which requires intwrite protection) to finalize an xfs freeze (by which time the vfs had already taken intwrite). Fast forward a few years, and XFS fixed the recursive intwrite problem on its own, and the hack became unnecessary. Fast forward almost a decade, and latent bugs in the code converting this hack from freeze flags to freeze locks combine with lockdep bugs to make this reproduce frequently enough to notice page faults racing with freeze. Since the hack is unnecessary and causes thread race errors, just get rid of it completely. Making this kind of vfs change midway through a cycle makes me nervous, but a large enough number of the usual VFS/ext4/XFS/btrfs suspects have said this looks good and solves a real problem vector. And once that removal is done, __sb_start_write is now simple enough that it becomes possible to refactor the function into smaller, simpler static inline helpers in linux/fs.h. The cleanup is straightforward. Summary: - Finally remove the "convert to trylock" weirdness in the fs freezer code. It was necessary 10 years ago to deal with nested transactions in XFS, but we've long since removed that; and now this is causing subtle race conditions when lockdep goes offline and sb_start_* aren't prepared to retry a trylock failure. - Minor cleanups of the sb_start_* fs freeze helpers" * tag 'vfs-5.10-fixes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux: vfs: move __sb_{start,end}_write* to fs.h vfs: separate __sb_start_write into blocking and non-blocking helpers vfs: remove lockdep bogosity in __sb_start_write

Now that we've straightened out the callers, move these three functions to fs.h since they're fairly trivial. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Jan Kara

vfs: separate __sb_start_write into blocking and non-blocking helpers

2020-11-11T00:53:07Z

Break this function into two helpers so that it's obvious that the trylock versions return a value that must be checked, and the blocking versions don't require that. While we're at it, clean up the return type mismatch. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong Reviewed-by: Jan Kara Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig

fs: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member

2020-10-29T22:22:59Z

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].
