Currently file_update_time_flags unconditionally returns -EAGAIN if any
timestamp needs to be updated and IOCB_NOWAIT is passed. This makes
non-blocking direct writes impossible on file systems with granular
enough timestamps.
Pass IOCB_NOWAIT to ->update_time and return -EAGAIN if it could block.

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.

Pull overlayfs cred guard conversion from Christian Brauner:
"This converts all of overlayfs to use credential guards, eliminating
manual credential management throughout the filesystem.
Credential guard conversion:
- Convert all of overlayfs to use credential guards, replacing the
manual ovl_override_creds()/ovl_revert_creds() pattern with scoped
guards.
This makes credential handling visually explicit and eliminates a
class of potential bugs from mismatched override/revert calls.
(1) Basic credential guard (with_ovl_creds)
(2) Creator credential guard (ovl_override_creator_creds):
Introduced a specialized guard for file creation operations
that handles the two-phase credential override (mounter
credentials, then fs{g,u}id override). The new pattern is much
clearer:
with_ovl_creds(dentry->d_sb) {
scoped_class(prepare_creds_ovl, cred, dentry, inode, mode) {
if (IS_ERR(cred))
return PTR_ERR(cred);
/* creation operations */
}
}
(3) Copy-up credential guard (ovl_cu_creds):
Introduced a specialized guard for copy-up operations,
simplifying the previous struct ovl_cu_creds helper and
associated functions.
Ported ovl_copy_up_workdir() and ovl_copy_up_tmpfile() to this
pattern.
Cleanups:
- Remove ovl_revert_creds() after all callers converted to guards
- Remove struct ovl_cu_creds and associated functions
- Drop ovl_setup_cred_for_create() after conversion
- Refactor ovl_fill_super(), ovl_lookup(), ovl_iterate(),
ovl_rename() for cleaner credential guard scope

"Features:
- Hide inode->i_state behind accessors. Open-coded accesses prevent
asserting they are done correctly. One obvious aspect is locking,
but significantly more can be checked. For example it can be
detected when the code is clearing flags which are already missing,
or is setting flags when it is illegal (e.g., I_FREEING when
->i_count > 0)
- Provide accessors for ->i_state, converts all filesystems using
coccinelle and manual conversions (btrfs, ceph, smb, f2fs, gfs2,
overlayfs, nilfs2, xfs), and makes plain ->i_state access fail to

- Rework I_NEW handling to operate without fences, simplifying the
code after the accessor infrastructure is in place

- Move wait_on_inode() from writeback.h to fs.h
- Spell out fenced ->i_state accesses with explicit smp_wmb/smp_rmb

Commit 8a924db2d7 ("fs: Pass AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag to getattr interface
function")' introduced the AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag to ensure that the
call paths only call vfs_getattr_nosec if it is set instead of vfs_getattr.
Now, simplify the getattr interface functions of filesystems where the flag
AT_GETATTR_NOSEC is checked.
There is only a single caller of inode_operations getattr function and it
is located in fs/stat.c in vfs_getattr_nosec. The caller there is the only
one from which the AT_GETATTR_NOSEC flag is passed from.
Two filesystems are checking this flag in .getattr and the flag is always
passed to them unconditionally from only vfs_getattr_nosec:
- ecryptfs: Simplify by always calling vfs_getattr_nosec in
ecryptfs_getattr. From there the flag is passed to no other
function and this function is not called otherwise.
- overlayfs: Simplify by always calling vfs_getattr_nosec in
ovl_getattr. From there the flag is passed to no other
function and this function is not called otherwise.
The query_flags in vfs_getattr_nosec will mask-out AT_GETATTR_NOSEC from
any caller using AT_STATX_SYNC_TYPE as mask so that the flag is not
important inside this function. Also, since no filesystem is checking the
flag anymore, remove the flag entirely now, including the BUG_ON check that
never triggered.
The net change of the changes here combined with the original commit is
that ecryptfs and overlayfs do not call vfs_getattr but only
vfs_getattr_nosec.

When vfs_getattr_nosec() calls a filesystem's getattr interface function
then the 'nosec' should propagate into this function so that
vfs_getattr_nosec() can again be called from the filesystem's gettattr
rather than vfs_getattr(). The latter would add unnecessary security
checks that the initial vfs_getattr_nosec() call wanted to avoid.
Therefore, introduce the getattr flag GETATTR_NOSEC and allow to pass
with the new getattr_flags parameter to the getattr interface function.
In overlayfs and ecryptfs use this flag to determine which one of the
two functions to call.
In a recent code change introduced to IMA vfs_getattr_nosec() ended up
calling vfs_getattr() in overlayfs, which in turn called
security_inode_getattr() on an exiting process that did not have
current->fs set anymore, which then caused a kernel NULL pointer
dereference. With this change the call to security_inode_getattr() can
be avoided, thus avoiding the NULL pointer dereference.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.
Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

The current placement of posix_acl_release() in ovl_set_or_remove_acl()
means it can be called on an error pointer instead of actual acls.
Fix this by moving the posix_acl_release() call after the error handling.

Now that posix acls have a proper api us it to copy them.
All filesystems that can serve as lower or upper layers for overlayfs
have gained support for the new posix acl api in previous patches.
So switch all internal overlayfs codepaths for copying posix acls to the
new posix acl api.
