3e48a11675 Merge tag 'f2fs-for-7.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs
Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this development cycle, we focused on several key performance
  optimizations:

   - introducing large folio support to enhance read speeds for
     immutable files

   - reducing checkpoint=enable latency by flushing only committed dirty
     pages

   - implementing tracepoints to diagnose and resolve lock priority
     inversion.

  Additionally, we introduced the packed_ssa feature to optimize the SSA
  footprint when utilizing large block sizes.

  Detail summary:

  Enhancements:
   - support large folio for immutable non-compressed case
   - support non-4KB block size without packed_ssa feature
   - optimize f2fs_enable_checkpoint() to avoid long delay
   - optimize f2fs_overwrite_io() for f2fs_iomap_begin
   - optimize NAT block loading during checkpoint write
   - add write latency stats for NAT and SIT blocks in
     f2fs_write_checkpoint
   - pin files do not require sbi->writepages lock for ordering
   - avoid f2fs_map_blocks() for consecutive holes in readpages
   - flush plug periodically during GC to maximize readahead effect
   - add tracepoints to catch lock overheads
   - add several sysfs entries to tune internal lock priorities

  Fixes:
   - fix lock priority inversion issue
   - fix incomplete block usage in compact SSA summaries
   - fix to show simulate_lock_timeout correctly
   - fix to avoid mapping wrong physical block for swapfile
   - fix IS_CHECKPOINTED flag inconsistency issue caused by
     concurrent atomic commit and checkpoint writes
   - fix to avoid UAF in f2fs_write_end_io()"

13d83ea9d8 Merge tag 'libcrypto-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/linux
Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:

 - Add support for verifying ML-DSA signatures.

   ML-DSA (Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm) is a
   recently-standardized post-quantum (quantum-resistant) signature
   algorithm. It was known as Dilithium pre-standardization.

   The first use case in the kernel will be module signing. But there
   are also other users of RSA and ECDSA signatures in the kernel that
   might want to upgrade to ML-DSA eventually.

 - Improve the AES library:

     - Make the AES key expansion and single block encryption and
       decryption functions use the architecture-optimized AES code.
       Enable these optimizations by default.

     - Support preparing an AES key for encryption-only, using about
       half as much memory as a bidirectional key.

     - Replace the existing two generic implementations of AES with a
       single one.

 - Simplify how Adiantum message hashing is implemented. Remove the
   "nhpoly1305" crypto_shash in favor of direct lib/crypto/ support for
   NH hashing, and enable optimizations by default.

Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
 "In this cycle, inode page cache sharing among filesystems on the same
  machine is now supported, which is particularly useful for
  high-density hosts running tens of thousands of containers.

  In addition, we fully isolate the EROFS core on-disk format from other
  optional encoded layouts since the core on-disk part is designed to be
  simple, effective, and secure. Users can use the core format to build
  unique golden immutable images and import their filesystem trees
  directly from raw block devices via DMA, page-mapped DAX devices,
  and/or file-backed mounts without having to worry about unnecessary
  intrinsic consistency issues found in other generic filesystems by
  design. However, the full vision is still working in progress and will
  spend more time to achieve final goals.

  There are other improvements and bug fixes as usual, as listed below:

   - Support inode page cache sharing among filesystems

   - Formally separate optional encoded (aka compressed) inode layouts
     (and the implementations) from the EROFS core on-disk aligned plain
     format for future zero-trust security usage

   - Improve performance by caching the fact that an inode does not have
     a POSIX ACL

   - Improve LZ4 decompression error reporting

   - Enable LZMA by default and promote DEFLATE and Zstandard algorithms
     out of EXPERIMENTAL status

   - Switch to inode_set_cached_link() to cache symlink lengths

   - random bugfixes and minor cleanups"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains a mix of VFS cleanups, performance improvements, API
  fixes, documentation, and a deprecation notice.

  Scalability and performance:

   - Rework pid allocation to only take pidmap_lock once instead of
     twice during alloc_pid(), improving thread creation/teardown
     throughput by 10-16% depending on false-sharing luck. Pad the
     namespace refcount to reduce false-sharing

   - Track file lock presence via a flag in ->i_opflags instead of
     reading ->i_flctx, avoiding false-sharing with ->i_readcount on
     open/close hot paths. Measured 4-16% improvement on 24-core
     open-in-a-loop benchmarks

   - Use a consume fence in locks_inode_context() to match the
     store-release/load-consume idiom, eliminating a hardware fence on
     some architectures

   - Annotate cdev_lock with __cacheline_aligned_in_smp to prevent
     false-sharing

   - Remove a redundant DCACHE_MANAGED_DENTRY check in
     __follow_mount_rcu() that never fires since the caller already
     verifies it, eliminating a 100% mispredicted branch

   - Fix a 100% mispredicted likely() in devcgroup_inode_permission()
     that became wrong after a prior code reorder

  Bug fixes and correctness:

   - Make insert_inode_locked() wait for inode destruction instead of
     skipping, fixing a corner case where two matching inodes could
     exist in the hash

   - Move f_mode initialization before file_ref_init() in alloc_file()
     to respect the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU ordering contract

   - Add a WARN_ON_ONCE guard in try_to_free_buffers() for folios with
     no buffers attached, preventing a null pointer dereference when
     AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS is set but no release_folio op exists

   - Fix select restart_block to store end_time as timespec64, avoiding
     truncation of tv_sec on 32-bit architectures

   - Make dump_inode() use get_kernel_nofault() to safely access inode
     and superblock fields, matching the dump_mapping() pattern

  API modernization:

   - Make posix_acl_to_xattr() allocate the buffer internally since
     every single caller was doing it anyway. Reduces boilerplate and
     unnecessary error checking across ~15 filesystems

   - Replace deprecated simple_strtoul() with kstrtoul() for the
     ihash_entries, dhash_entries, mhash_entries, and mphash_entries
     boot parameters, adding proper error handling

   - Convert chardev code to use guard(mutex) and __free(kfree) cleanup
     patterns

   - Replace min_t() with min() or umin() in VFS code to avoid silently
     truncating unsigned long to unsigned int

   - Gate LOOKUP_RCU assertions behind CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS since callers
     already check the flag

  Deprecation:

   - Begin deprecating legacy BSD process accounting (acct(2)). The
     interface has numerous footguns and better alternatives exist
     (eBPF)

  Documentation:

   - Fix and complete kernel-doc for struct export_operations, removing
     duplicated documentation between ReST and source

   - Fix kernel-doc warnings for __start_dirop() and ilookup5_nowait()

  Testing:

   - Add a kunit test for initramfs cpio handling of entries with
     filesize > PATH_MAX

  Misc:

   - Add missing <linux/init_task.h> include in fs_struct.c"

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:

 - statmount: accept fd as a parameter

   Extend struct mnt_id_req with a file descriptor field and a new
   STATMOUNT_BY_FD flag. When set, statmount() returns mount information
   for the mount the fd resides on — including detached mounts
   (unmounted via umount2(MNT_DETACH)).

   For detached mounts the STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT and STATMOUNT_MNT_NS_ID
   mask bits are cleared since neither is meaningful. The capability
   check is skipped for STATMOUNT_BY_FD since holding an fd already
   implies prior access to the mount and equivalent information is
   available through fstatfs() and /proc/pid/mountinfo without
   privilege. Includes comprehensive selftests covering both attached
   and detached mount cases.

 - fs: Remove internal old mount API code (1 patch)

   Now that every in-tree filesystem has been converted to the new
   mount API, remove all the legacy shim code in fs_context.c that
   handled unconverted filesystems. This deletes ~280 lines including
   legacy_init_fs_context(), the legacy_fs_context struct, and
   associated wrappers. The mount(2) syscall path for userspace remains
   untouched. Documentation references to the legacy callbacks are
   cleaned up.

 - mount: add OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE to open_tree()

   Container runtimes currently use CLONE_NEWNS to copy the caller's
   entire mount namespace — only to then pivot_root() and recursively
   unmount everything they just copied. With large mount tables and
   thousands of parallel container launches this creates significant
   contention on the namespace semaphore.

   OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE copies only the specified mount tree (like
   OPEN_TREE_CLONE) but returns a mount namespace fd instead of a
   detached mount fd. The new namespace contains the copied tree mounted
   on top of a clone of the real rootfs.

   This functions as a combined unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) + pivot_root() in a
   single syscall. Works with user namespaces: an unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER)
   followed by OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE creates a mount namespace owned by
   the new user namespace. Mount namespace file mounts are excluded from
   the copy to prevent cycles. Includes ~1000 lines of selftests"

Pull vfs nullfs update from Christian Brauner:
 "Add a completely catatonic minimal pseudo filesystem called "nullfs"
  and make pivot_root() work in the initramfs.

  Currently pivot_root() does not work on the real rootfs because it
  cannot be unmounted. Userspace has to recursively delete initramfs
  contents manually before continuing boot, using the fragile
  switch_root sequence (overmount + chroot).

  Add nullfs, a minimal immutable filesystem that serves as the true
  root of the mount hierarchy. The mutable rootfs (tmpfs/ramfs) is
  mounted on top of it. This allows userspace to simply:

      chdir(new_root);
      pivot_root(".", ".");
      umount2(".", MNT_DETACH);

  without the traditional switch_root workarounds. systemd already
  handles this correctly. It tries pivot_root() first and falls back
  to MS_MOVE only when that fails.

  This also means rootfs mounts in unprivileged namespaces no longer
  need MNT_LOCKED, since the immutable nullfs guarantees nothing can be
  revealed by unmounting the covering mount.

  nullfs is a single-instance filesystem (get_tree_single()) marked
  SB_NOUSER | SB_I_NOEXEC | SB_I_NODEV with an immutable empty root
  directory. This means sooner or later it can be used to overmount
  other directories to hide their contents without any additional
  protection needed.

  We enable it unconditionally. If we see any real regression we'll
  hide it behind a boot option.

  nullfs has extensions beyond this in the future. It will serve as a
  concept to support the creation of completely empty mount namespaces -
  which is work coming up in the next cycle"

Pull vfs lease updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains updates for lease support to require filesystems to
  explicitly opt-in to lease support

  Currently kernel_setlease() falls through to generic_setlease() when a
  a filesystem does not define ->setlease(), silently granting lease
  support to every filesystem regardless of whether it is prepared for
  it.

  This is a poor default: most filesystems never intended to support
  leases, and the silent fallthrough makes it impossible to distinguish
  "supports leases" from "never thought about it".

  This inverts the default. It adds explicit

	.setlease = generic_setlease;

  assignments to every in-tree filesystem that should retain lease
  support, then changes kernel_setlease() to return -EINVAL when
  ->setlease is NULL.

Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the changes to support non-blocking timestamp updates.

  Since commit 66fa3cedf1 ("fs: Add async write file modification
  handling") file_update_time_flags() unconditionally returns -EAGAIN
  when any timestamp needs updating and IOCB_NOWAIT is set. This makes
  non-blocking direct writes impossible on file systems with granular
  enough timestamps, which in practice means all of them.

  This reworks the timestamp update path to propagate IOCB_NOWAIT
  through ->update_time so that file systems which can update timestamps
  without blocking are no longer penalized.

  With that groundwork in place, the core change passes IOCB_NOWAIT into
  ->update_time and returns -EAGAIN only when the file system indicates
  it would block.

  XFS implements non-blocking timestamp updates by using the new
  ->sync_lazytime and open-coding generic_update_time without the
  S_NOWAIT check, since the lazytime path through the generic helpers
  can never block in XFS"

5ef3208e3b erofs: introduce the page cache share feature
Currently, reading files with different paths (or names) but the same
content will consume multiple copies of the page cache, even if the
content of these page caches is the same. For example, reading
identical files (e.g., *.so files) from two different minor versions of
container images will cost multiple copies of the same page cache,
since different containers have different mount points. Therefore,
sharing the page cache for files with the same content can save memory.

This introduces the page cache share feature in erofs. It allocate a
shared inode and use its page cache as shared. Reads for files
with identical content will ultimately be routed to the page cache of
the shared inode. In this way, a single page cache satisfies
multiple read requests for different files with the same contents.

We introduce new mount option `inode_share` to enable the page
sharing mode during mounting. This option is used in conjunction
with `domain_id` to share the page cache within the same trusted
domain.

761475268f fs: refactor ->update_time handling
Pass the type of update (atime vs c/mtime plus version) as an enum
instead of a set of flags that caused all kinds of confusion.
Because inode_update_timestamps now can't return a modified version
of those flags, return the I_DIRTY_* flags needed to persist the
update, which is what the main caller in generic_update_time wants
anyway, and which is suitable for the other callers that only want
to know if an update happened.

The whole update_time path keeps the flags argument, which will be used
to support non-blocking updates soon even if it is unused, and (the
slightly renamed) inode_update_time also gains the possibility to return
a negative errno to support this.

12965a190e filelock: allow lease_managers to dictate what qualifies as a conflict
Requesting a delegation on a file from the userland fcntl() interface
currently succeeds when there are conflicting opens present.

This is because the lease handling code ignores conflicting opens for
FL_LAYOUT and FL_DELEG leases. This was a hack put in place long ago,
because nfsd already checks for conflicts in its own way. The kernel
needs to perform this check for userland delegations the same way it is
done for leases, however.

Make this dependent on the lease_manager by adding a new
->lm_open_conflict() lease_manager operation and have
generic_add_lease() call that instead of check_conflicting_open().
Morph check_conflicting_open() into a ->lm_open_conflict() op that is
only called for userland leases/delegations. Set the
->lm_open_conflict() operations for nfsd to trivial functions that
always return 0.

  f2fs_enable_checkpoint.

  Enhancement:
   - wrap ASCII tables in literal blocks to fix LaTeX build
   - optimize trace_f2fs_write_checkpoint with enums
   - support to show curseg.next_blkoff in debugfs
   - add a sysfs entry to show max open zones
   - add fadvise tracepoint
   - use global inline_xattr_slab instead of per-sb slab cache
   - set default valid_thresh_ratio to 80 for zoned devices
   - maintain one time GC mode is enabled during whole zoned GC cycle

  Bug fix:
   - ensure node page reads complete before f2fs_put_super() finishes
   - do not account invalid blocks in get_left_section_blocks()
   - revert summary entry count from 2048 to 512 in 16kb block support

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:

 - Mike Snitzer's mechanism for disabling I/O caching introduced in
   v6.18 is extended to include using direct I/O. The goal is to further
   reduce the memory footprint consumed by NFS clients accessing large
   data sets via NFSD.

 - The NFSD community adopted a maintainer entry profile during this
   cycle. See

      Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsd-maintainer-entry-profile.rst

 - Work continues on hardening NFSD's implementation of the pNFS block
   layout type. This type enables pNFS clients to directly access the
   underlying block devices that contain an exported file system,
   reducing server overhead and increasing data throughput.

 - The remaining patches are clean-ups and minor optimizations. Many
   thanks to the contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug reporters who
   participated during the v6.19 NFSD development cycle.

Pull persistent dentry infrastructure and conversion from Al Viro:
 "Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to
  pin dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing
  those). A reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually
  _stored_ anywhere.

  That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other things, we
  have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended to be an
  unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether the
  reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if that
  removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is
  pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using
  kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special
  cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self).

  Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag
  (DCACHE_PERSISTENT) marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set
  claims responsibility for +1 in refcount.

  The end result this series is aiming for:

   - get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives
     that would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear
     persistency flag.

   - instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the
     remaining "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't
     been removed prior to umount), have the regular
     shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries,
     dropping the corresponding reference if it had been set. After that
     kill_litter_super() becomes an equivalent of kill_anon_super().

  Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many
  places in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series.

  This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary
  pieces have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting
  to the meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions
  to it.

  Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of
  that stuff is here"

     options field to EXT4_IOC_SET_TUNE_SB_PARAM
   - Fix a potential journal checksum failure whena file system is
     copied while it is mounted read-only
   - Fix a potential potential orphan file tracking error which only
     showed on 32-bit systems
   - Fix assertion checks in mballoc (which have to be explicitly enbled
