git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4
Pull ext4 bug fixes from Ted Ts'o:
- Fix regression caused by removing CONFIG_EXT3_FS when testing some
very old defconfigs
- Avoid a BUG_ON when opening a file on a maliciously corrupted file
system
- Avoid mm warnings when freeing a very large orphan file metadata
- Avoid a theoretical races between metadata writeback and checkpoints
(it's very hard to hit in practice, since the race requires that the
writeback take a very long time)
* tag 'ext4_for_linus-6.18-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4:
Use CONFIG_EXT4_FS instead of CONFIG_EXT3_FS in all of the defconfigs
ext4: free orphan info with kvfree
ext4: detect invalid INLINE_DATA + EXTENTS flag combination
ext4, doc: fix and improve directory hash tree description
ext4: wait for ongoing I/O to complete before freeing blocks
jbd2: ensure that all ongoing I/O complete before freeing blocks
|
|
Some of the details about how directory hash trees work were confusing or
outright wrong, this patch should fix those.
A note on dx_tail's dt_reserved member, as far as I can tell the kernel
never sets this explicitly, so its content is apparently left-overs from
what was there before (for the dx_root I've seen remnants of a
ext4_dir_entry_tail struct from when the dir was not yet a hash dir).

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It has been a relatively busy cycle in docsland, with changes all
over:
- Bring the kernel memory-model docs into the Sphinx build in the
"literal include" mode.
- Lots of build-infrastructure work, further cleaning up long-term
kernel-doc technical debt. The sphinx-pre-install tool has been
converted to Python and updated for current systems.
- A new tool to detect when documents have been moved and generate
HTML redirects; this can be used on kernel.org (or any other site
hosting the rendered docs) to avoid breaking links.
- Automated processing of the YAML files describing the netlink
protocol.
- A significant update of the maintainer's PGP guide.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs
Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"This focuses on two primary updates for Android devices.
First, it sets hash-based file name lookup as the default method to
improve performance, while retaining an option to fall back to a
linear lookup.
Second, it resolves a persistent issue with the 'checkpoint=enable'
feature.
The update further boosts performance by prefetching node blocks,
merging FUA writes more efficiently, and optimizing block allocation
policies.
The release is rounded out by a comprehensive set of bug fixes that
address memory safety, data integrity, and potential system hangs,
along with minor documentation and code clean-ups.
Enhancements:
- add mount option and sysfs entry to tune the lookup mode
- dump more information and add a timeout when enabling/disabling
checkpoints
- readahead node blocks in F2FS_GET_BLOCK_PRECACHE mode
- merge FUA command with the existing writes
- allocate HOT_DATA for IPU writes
- Use allocate_section_policy to control write priority in
multi-devices setups
- add reserved nodes for privileged users
- Add bggc_io_aware to adjust the priority of BG_GC when issuing IO
- show the list of donation files
Bug fixes:
- add missing dput() when printing the donation list
- fix UAF issue in f2fs_merge_page_bio()
- add sanity check on ei.len in __update_extent_tree_range()
- fix infinite loop in __insert_extent_tree()
- fix zero-sized extent for precache extents
- fix to mitigate overhead of f2fs_zero_post_eof_page()
- fix to avoid migrating empty section
- fix to truncate first page in error path of f2fs_truncate()
- fix to update map->m_next_extent correctly in f2fs_map_blocks()
- fix wrong layout information on 16KB page
- fix to do sanity check on node footer for non inode dnode
- fix to avoid NULL pointer dereference in
f2fs_check_quota_consistency()
- fix to detect potential corrupted nid in free_nid_list
- fix to clear unusable_cap for checkpoint=enable
- fix to zero data after EOF for compressed file correctly
- fix to avoid overflow while left shift operation
- fix condition in __allow_reserved_blocks()"

- Admin controller handling (Kamaljit)
- Target lockdep assertions (Max)
- Keep-alive updates for discovery (Alastair)
- Suspend quirk (Georg)
- MD pull request via Yu:
- Add support for a lockless bitmap.
A key feature for the new bitmap are that the IO fastpath is
lockless. If a user issues lots of write IO to the same bitmap
bit in a short time, only the first write has additional overhead
to update bitmap bit, no additional overhead for the following
writes.
By supporting only resync or recover written data, means in the
case creating new array or replacing with a new disk, there is no
need to do a full disk resync/recovery.
- Switch ->getgeo() and ->bios_param() to using struct gendisk rather
than struct block_device.
- Rust block changes via Andreas. This series adds configuration via
configfs and remote completion to the rnull driver. The series also
includes a set of changes to the rust block device driver API: a few
cleanup patches, and a few features supporting the rnull changes.
The series removes the raw buffer formatting logic from
`kernel::block` and improves the logic available in `kernel::string`
to support the same use as the removed logic.
- floppy arch cleanups
- Reduce the number of dereferencing needed for ublk commands
- Restrict supported sockets for nbd. Mostly done to eliminate a class
of issues perpetually reported by syzbot, by using nonsensical socket
setups.

- Fix a few issues around atomic writes
- Improve DMA interation for integrity requests
- Improve how iovecs are treated with regards to O_DIRECT aligment
constraints.

bcachefs was marked 'externally maintained' in 6.17 but the code
remained to make the transition smoother.
It's now a DKMS module, making the in-kernel code stale, so remove
it to avoid any version confusion.

Pull vfs async directory updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains further preparatory changes for the asynchronous directory

- Unify the mount idmap handling in struct renamedata as a rename can
only happen within a single mount
- Introduce kern_path_parent() for audit which sets the path to the

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains some work around mount api handling:
- Output the warning message for mnt_too_revealing() triggered during
fsmount() to the fscontext log. This makes it possible for the
mount tool to output appropriate warnings on the command line.
For example, with the newest fsopen()-based mount(8) from
util-linux, the error messages now look like:
# mount -t proc proc /tmp
mount: /tmp: fsmount() failed: VFS: Mount too revealing.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
- Do not consume fscontext log entries when returning -EMSGSIZE
Userspace generally expects APIs that return -EMSGSIZE to allow for
them to adjust their buffer size and retry the operation.
However, the fscontext log would previously clear the message even
in the -EMSGSIZE case.
Given that it is very cheap for us to check whether the buffer is
too small before we remove the message from the ring buffer, let's
just do that instead.
- Drop an unused argument from do_remount()"

kern_path_locked() is now only used to prepare for removing an object
from the filesystem (and that is the only credible reason for wanting a
positive locked dentry). Thus it corresponds to kern_path_create() and
so should have a corresponding name.
Unfortunately the name "kern_path_create" is somewhat misleading as it
doesn't actually create anything. The recently added
simple_start_creating() provides a better pattern I believe. The
"start" can be matched with "end" to bracket the creating or removing.
So this patch changes names:
kern_path_locked -> start_removing_path
kern_path_create -> start_creating_path
user_path_create -> start_creating_user_path
user_path_locked_at -> start_removing_user_path_at
done_path_create -> end_creating_path
and also introduces end_removing_path() which is identical to
end_creating_path().
__start_removing_path (which was __kern_path_locked) is enhanced to
call mnt_want_write() for consistency with the start_creating_path().

While rare, memory allocation profiling can contain inaccurate counters if
slab object extension vector allocation fails. That allocation might
succeed later but prior to that, slab allocations that would have used
that object extension vector will not be accounted for. To indicate
incorrect counters, "accurate:no" marker is appended to the call site line
in the /proc/allocinfo output. Bump up /proc/allocinfo version to reflect
the change in the file format and update documentation.

Resctrl subsystem can support two monitoring modes, "mbm_event" or "default".
In mbm_event mode, monitoring event can only accumulate data while it is
backed by a hardware counter. In "default" mode, resctrl assumes there is
a hardware counter for each event within every CTRL_MON and MON group.
Introduce mbm_assign_mode resctrl file to switch between mbm_event and default
modes.
Example:
To list the MBM monitor modes supported:
$ cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode
[mbm_event]
default
To enable the "mbm_event" counter assignment mode:
$ echo "mbm_event" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode
To enable the "default" monitoring mode:
$ echo "default" > /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode
Reset MBM event counters automatically as part of changing the mode. Clear
both architectural and non-architectural event states to prevent overflow
conditions during the next event read. Clear assignable counter configuration
on all the domains. Also, enable auto assignment when switching to "mbm_event"
mode.

The "mbm_event" counter assignment mode allows the user to assign a hardware
counter to an RMID, event pair and monitor the bandwidth as long as it is
assigned. The user can specify the memory transaction(s) for the counter to
track.
When this mode is supported, the /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/event_configs
directory contains a sub-directory for each MBM event that can be assigned to
a counter. The MBM event sub-directory contains a file named "event_filter"
that is used to view and modify which memory transactions the MBM event is
configured with.
Create /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/event_configs directory on resctrl mount
and pre-populate it with directories for the two existing MBM events:
mbm_total_bytes and mbm_local_bytes. Create the "event_filter" file within

Introduce the resctrl file "mbm_assign_mode" to list the supported counter
assignment modes.
The "mbm_event" counter assignment mode allows users to assign a hardware
counter to an RMID, event pair and monitor bandwidth usage as long as it is
assigned. The hardware continues to track the assigned counter until it is
explicitly unassigned by the user. Each event within a resctrl group can be
assigned independently in this mode.
On AMD systems "mbm_event" mode is backed by the ABMC (Assignable Bandwidth
Monitoring Counters) hardware feature and is enabled by default.
The "default" mode is the existing mode that works without the explicit
counter assignment, instead relying on dynamic counter assignment by hardware
that may result in hardware not dedicating a counter resulting in monitoring
data reads returning "Unavailable".
Provide an interface to display the monitor modes on the system.
$ cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/L3_MON/mbm_assign_mode
[mbm_event]
default
Add IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED) check to support Arm64.
On x86, CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED is not defined. On Arm64, it will be
defined when the "mbm_event" mode is supported.
Add IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RESCTRL_ASSIGN_FIXED) check early to ensure the user
interface remains compatible with upcoming Arm64 support. IS_ENABLED() safely
evaluates to 0 when the configuration is not defined.
As a result, for MPAM, the display would be either:
[default]
or
[mbm_event]

Patch series "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide THPs when
advised", v5.
This will allow individual processes to opt-out of THP = "always" into THP
= "madvise", without affecting other workloads on the system. This has
been extensively discussed on the mailing list and has been summarized
very well by David in the first patch which also includes the links to
alternatives, please refer to the first patch commit message for the
motivation for this series.
Patch 1 adds the PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED flag to implement this,
along with the MMF changes.
Patch 2 is a cleanup patch for tva_flags that will allow the forced
collapse case to be transmitted to vma_thp_disabled (which is done in
patch 3).
Patch 4 adds documentation for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE/PR_GET_THP_DISABLE.
Patches 6-7 implement the selftests for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE for completely
disabling THPs (old behaviour) and only enabling it at advise
(PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED).
This patch (of 7):
People want to make use of more THPs, for example, moving from the "never"
system policy to "madvise", or from "madvise" to "always".
While this is great news for every THP desperately waiting to get
allocated out there, apparently there are some workloads that require a
bit of care during that transition: individual processes may need to
opt-out from this behavior for various reasons, and this should be
permitted without needing to make all other workloads on the system
similarly opt-out.
The following scenarios are imaginable:
(1) Switch from "none" system policy to "madvise"/"always", but keep THPs
disabled for selected workloads.
(2) Stay at "none" system policy, but enable THPs for selected
workloads, making only these workloads use the "madvise" or "always"
policy.
(3) Switch from "madvise" system policy to "always", but keep the
"madvise" policy for selected workloads: allocate THPs only when
advised.
(4) Stay at "madvise" system policy, but enable THPs even when not advised
for selected workloads -- "always" policy.
Once can emulate (2) through (1), by setting the system policy to
"madvise"/"always" while disabling THPs for all processes that don't want
THPs. It requires configuring all workloads, but that is a user-space
problem to sort out.
(4) can be emulated through (3) in a similar way.
Back when (1) was relevant in the past, as people started enabling THPs,
we added PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, so relevant workloads that were not ready yet
(i.e., used by Redis) were able to just disable THPs completely. Redis
still implements the option to use this interface to disable THPs
completely.
With PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, we added a way to force-disable THPs for a
workload -- a process, including fork+exec'ed process hierarchy. That
essentially made us support (1): simply disable THPs for all workloads
that are not ready for THPs yet, while still enabling THPs system-wide.
The quest for handling (3) and (4) started, but current approaches
(completely new prctl, options to set other policies per process,
alternatives to prctl -- mctrl, cgroup handling) don't look particularly
promising. Likely, the future will use bpf or something similar to
implement better policies, in particular to also make better decisions
about THP sizes to use, but this will certainly take a while as that work
just started.
Long story short: a simple enable/disable is not really suitable for the
future, so we're not willing to add completely new toggles.
While we could emulate (3)+(4) through (1)+(2) by simply disabling THPs
completely for these processes, this is a step backwards, because these
processes can no longer allocate THPs in regions where THPs were
explicitly advised: regions flagged as VM_HUGEPAGE. Apparently, that
imposes a problem for relevant workloads, because "not THPs" is certainly
worse than "THPs only when advised".
Could we simply relax PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, to "disable THPs unless not
explicitly advised by the app through MAD_HUGEPAGE"? *maybe*, but this
would change the documented semantics quite a bit, and the versatility to
use it for debugging purposes, so I am not 100% sure that is what we want
-- although it would certainly be much easier.
So instead, as an easy way forward for (3) and (4), add an option to
make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE disable *less* THPs for a process.
In essence, this patch:
(A) Adds PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED, to be used as a flag in arg3
of prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) when disabling THPs (arg2 != 0).
prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, 1, PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED).
(B) Makes prctl(PR_GET_THP_DISABLE) return 3 if
PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED was set while disabling.
Previously, it would return 1 if THPs were disabled completely. Now
it returns the set flags as well: 3 if PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED
was set.
(C) Renames MMF_DISABLE_THP to MMF_DISABLE_THP_COMPLETELY, to express
the semantics clearly.
Fortunately, there are only two instances outside of prctl() code.
(D) Adds MMF_DISABLE_THP_EXCEPT_ADVISED to express "no THP except for VMAs
with VM_HUGEPAGE" -- essentially "thp=madvise" behavior
Fortunately, we only have to extend vma_thp_disabled().
(E) Indicates "THP_enabled: 0" in /proc/pid/status only if THPs are
disabled completely
Only indicating that THPs are disabled when they are really disabled
completely, not only partially.
For now, we don't add another interface to obtained whether THPs
are disabled partially (PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED was set). If
ever required, we could add a new entry.
The documented semantics in the man page for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE "is
inherited by a child created via fork(2) and is preserved across
execve(2)" is maintained. This behavior, for example, allows for
disabling THPs for a workload through the launching process (e.g., systemd
where we fork() a helper process to then exec()).
For now, MADV_COLLAPSE will *fail* in regions without VM_HUGEPAGE and
VM_NOHUGEPAGE. As MADV_COLLAPSE is a clear advise that user space thinks
a THP is a good idea, we'll enable that separately next (requiring a bit
of cleanup first).
There is currently not way to prevent that a process will not issue
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE itself to re-enable THP. There are not really known
users for re-enabling it, and it's against the purpose of the original
interface. So if ever required, we could investigate just forbidding to
re-enable them, or make this somehow configurable.

Drop the v_size argument, add vfs_parse_fs_qstr() for the cases that

Since the introduction of pid namespaces, their interaction with procfs
has been entirely implicit in ways that require a lot of dancing around
by programs that need to construct sandboxes with different PID
namespaces.
Being able to explicitly specify the pid namespace to use when
constructing a procfs super block will allow programs to no longer need
to fork off a process which does then does unshare(2) / setns(2) and
forks again in order to construct a procfs in a pidns.
So, provide a "pidns" mount option which allows such users to just
explicitly state which pid namespace they want that procfs instance to
use. This interface can be used with fsconfig(2) either with a file
descriptor or a path:
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);
or with classic mount(2) / mount(8):
// mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");
As this new API is effectively shorthand for setns(2) followed by
mount(2), the permission model for this mirrors pidns_install() to avoid
opening up new attack surfaces by loosening the existing permission
model.
In order to avoid having to RCU-protect all users of proc_pid_ns() (to
avoid UAFs), attempting to reconfigure an existing procfs instance's pid
namespace will error out with -EBUSY. Creating new procfs instances is
quite cheap, so this should not be an impediment to most users, and lets
us avoid a lot of churn in fs/proc/* for a feature that it seems
unlikely userspace would use.
