Pull fsverity updates from Eric Biggers:
"fsverity cleanups, speedup, and memory usage optimization from
Christoph Hellwig:
- Move some logic into common code
- Fix btrfs to reject truncates of fsverity files
- Improve the readahead implementation
- Store each inode's fsverity_info in a hash table instead of using a
pointer in the filesystem-specific part of the inode.
This optimizes for memory usage in the usual case where most files
don't have fsverity enabled.
- Look up the fsverity_info fewer times during verification, to
amortize the hash table overhead"

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 timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the changes to support non-blocking timestamp updates.
Since commit 66fa3cedf16a ("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"

This is the only routine which instead skipped instead of waiting.
The current behavior is arguably a bug as it results in a corner case
where the inode hash can have *two* matching inodes, one of which is on
its way out.
Ironing out this difference is an incremental step towards sanitizing
the API.

Use get_kernel_nofault() to safely access inode and related structures
(superblock, file_system_type) to avoid crashing when the inode pointer
is invalid. This allows the same pattern as dump_mapping().
Note: The original access method for i_state and i_count is preserved,
as get_kernel_nofault() is unnecessary once the inode structure is
verified accessible.

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.

"Features:

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
compile
- Rework I_NEW handling to operate without fences, simplifying the
code after the accessor infrastructure is in place
Cleanups:
- Move wait_on_inode() from writeback.h to fs.h
- Spell out fenced ->i_state accesses with explicit smp_wmb/smp_rmb

- Enable clang's -fms-extensions flag, requiring a JFS rename to

FMODE_NOCMTIME used to be just a hack for the legacy XFS handle-based
"invisible I/O", but commit e5e9b24ab8fa ("nfsd: freeze c/mtime updates
with outstanding WRITE_ATTRS delegation") started using it from
generic callers.
I'm not sure other file systems are actually read for this in general,
so the above commit should get a closer look, but for it to make any
sense, file_update_time needs to respect the flag.
Lift the check from file_modified_flags to file_update_time so that
users of file_update_time inherit the behavior and so that all the
checks are done in one place.

Currently the two high-level APIs use two helper functions to implement
almost all of the logic. Refactor the two helpers and the common logic
into a new file_update_time_flags routine that gets the iocb flags or

contained in a single function and can be easily understood and modified.

In the inode hash code grab the state while ->i_lock is held. If found
to be set, synchronize the sleep once more with the lock held.
In the real world the flag is not set most of the time.
Apart from being simpler to reason about, it comes with a minor speed up
as now clearing the flag does not require the smp_mb() fence.
While here rename wait_on_inode() to wait_on_new_inode() to line it up
with __wait_on_freeing_inode().

Suppose there are 2 CPUs racing inode hash lookup func (say ilookup5())
and unlock_new_inode().
In principle the latter can clear the I_NEW flag before prior stores
into the inode were made visible.

Pull vfs inode updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a series I originally wrote and that Eric brought over
the finish line. It moves out the i_crypt_info and i_verity_info
pointers out of 'struct inode' and into the fs-specific part of the
inode.
So now the few filesytems that actually make use of this pay the price
in their own private inode storage instead of forcing it upon every
user of struct inode.
The pointer for the crypt and verity info is simply found by storing
an offset to its address in struct fsverity_operations and struct
fscrypt_operations. This shrinks struct inode by 16 bytes.
I hope to move a lot more out of it in the future so that struct inode
becomes really just about very core stuff that we need, much like
struct dentry and struct file, instead of the dumping ground it has
become over the years.
On top of this are a various changes associated with the ongoing inode
lifetime handling rework that multiple people are pushing forward:
- Stop accessing inode->i_count directly in f2fs and gfs2. They
simply should use the __iget() and iput() helpers
- Make the i_state flags an enum
- Rework the iput() logic
Currently, if we are the last iput, and we have the I_DIRTY_TIME
bit set, we will grab a reference on the inode again and then mark
it dirty and then redo the put. This is to make sure we delay the
time update for as long as possible
We can rework this logic to simply dec i_count if it is not 1, and
if it is do the time update while still holding the i_count
reference
Then we can replace the atomic_dec_and_lock with locking the
->i_lock and doing atomic_dec_and_test, since we did the
atomic_add_unless above
- Add an icount_read() helper and convert everyone that accesses
inode->i_count directly for this purpose to use the helper
- Expand dump_inode() to dump more information about an inode helping
in debugging
- Add some might_sleep() annotations to iput() and associated
helpers"

When iput() drops the reference counter to zero, it may sleep via
inode_wait_for_writeback(). This happens rarely because it's usually
the dcache which evicts inodes, but really iput() should only ever be
called in contexts where sleeping is allowed. This annotation allows
finding buggy callers.
Additionally, this patch annotates a few low-level functions that can
call iput() conditionally.

Commit 8b17e540969a ("vfs: add initial support for CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS") added
dump_inode(), but dump_inode() currently reports only raw pointer address.
Comment says that adding a proper inode dumping routine is a TODO.
However, syzkaller concurrently tests multiple filesystems, and several
filesystems started calling dump_inode() due to hitting VFS_BUG_ON_INODE()
added by commit af153bb63a33 ("vfs: catch invalid modes in may_open()")
before a proper inode dumping routine is implemented.
Show filesystem name at dump_inode() so that we can find which filesystem
has passed an invalid mode to may_open() from syzkaller's crash reports.

evict_inodes() uses list_for_each_entry_safe() to iterate sb->s_inodes
list. However, since we use i_lru list entry for our local temporary
list of inodes to destroy, the inode is guaranteed to stay in
sb->s_inodes list while we hold sb->s_inode_list_lock. So there is no
real need for safe iteration variant and we can use
list_for_each_entry() just fine.

As both locks are highly contended during significant inode churn,
holding the inode hash lock while waiting for the sb list lock
exacerbates the problem.
Why moving it out is safe: the inode at hand still has I_NEW set and
anyone who finds it through legitimate means waits for the bit to clear,
by which time inode_sb_list_add() is guaranteed to have finished.
This significantly drops hash lock contention for me when stating 20
separate trees in parallel, each with 1000 directories * 1000 files.
However, no speed up was observed as contention increased on the other
locks, notably dentry LRU.
Even so, removal of the lock ordering will help making this faster
later.

The unhashed state check in __wait_on_freeing_inode() performed with
->i_lock held against remove_hash_inode() also holding the lock makes
another lock acquire in evict() completely spurious -- all potential
sleepers already dropped the lock before remove_hash_inode() acquired
it or they found the inode to be unhashed and aborted.
Note there is no trickery here: the usual cost of both sides taking
locks is still being paid, it just stops being paid twice.

The function can be replaced by evict_inodes. The only difference is
that evict_inodes() skips the inodes with positive refcount without

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Fixup and improve NLM and kNFSD file lock callbacks
Last year both GFS2 and OCFS2 had some work done to make their
locking more robust when exported over NFS. Unfortunately, part of
that work caused both NLM (for NFS v3 exports) and kNFSD (for
NFSv4.1+ exports) to no longer send lock notifications to clients
This in itself is not a huge problem because most NFS clients will
still poll the server in order to acquire a conflicted lock
It's important for NLM and kNFSD that they do not block their
kernel threads inside filesystem's file_lock implementations
because that can produce deadlocks. We used to make sure of this by
only trusting that posix_lock_file() can correctly handle blocking
lock calls asynchronously, so the lock managers would only setup
their file_lock requests for async callbacks if the filesystem did
not define its own lock() file operation
However, when GFS2 and OCFS2 grew the capability to correctly
handle blocking lock requests asynchronously, they started
signalling this behavior with EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK, and the check
for also trusting posix_lock_file() was inadvertently dropped, so
now most filesystems no longer produce lock notifications when
exported over NFS
Fix this by using an fop_flag which greatly simplifies the problem
and grooms the way for future uses by both filesystems and lock
managers alike
- Add a sysctl to delete the dentry when a file is removed instead of
making it a negative dentry
Commit 681ce8623567 ("vfs: Delete the associated dentry when
deleting a file") introduced an unconditional deletion of the
associated dentry when a file is removed. However, this led to
performance regressions in specific benchmarks, such as
ilebench.sum_operations/s, prompting a revert in commit
4a4be1ad3a6e ("Revert "vfs: Delete the associated dentry when
deleting a file""). This reintroduces the concept conditionally
through a sysctl
- Expand the statmount() system call:
* Report the filesystem subtype in a new fs_subtype field to
e.g., report fuse filesystem subtypes
* Report the superblock source in a new sb_source field
* Add a new way to return filesystem specific mount options in an
option array that returns filesystem specific mount options
separated by zero bytes and unescaped. This allows caller's to
retrieve filesystem specific mount options and immediately pass
them to e.g., fsconfig() without having to unescape or split
them
* Report security (LSM) specific mount options in a separate
security option array. We don't lump them together with
filesystem specific mount options as security mount options are
generic and most users aren't interested in them
The format is the same as for the filesystem specific mount
option array
- Support relative paths in fsconfig()'s FSCONFIG_SET_STRING command
- Optimize acl_permission_check() to avoid costly {g,u}id ownership
checks if possible
- Use smp_mb__after_spinlock() to avoid full smp_mb() in evict()
- Add synchronous wakeup support for ep_poll_callback.
Currently, epoll only uses wake_up() to wake up task. But sometimes
there are epoll users which want to use the synchronous wakeup flag
to give a hint to the scheduler, e.g., the Android binder driver.
So add a wake_up_sync() define, and use wake_up_sync() when sync is
true in ep_poll_callback()
Fixes:
- Fix kernel documentation for inode_insert5() and iget5_locked()
- Annotate racy epoll check on file->f_ep
- Make F_DUPFD_QUERY associative
- Avoid filename buffer overrun in initramfs
- Don't let statmount() return empty strings
- Add a cond_resched() to dump_user_range() to avoid hogging the CPU
- Don't query the device logical blocksize multiple times for hfsplus

Pull vfs multigrain timestamps from Christian Brauner:
"This is another try at implementing multigrain timestamps. This time
with significant help from the timekeeping maintainers to reduce the
performance impact.
Thomas provided a base branch that contains the required timekeeping
interfaces for the VFS. It serves as the base for the multi-grain
timestamp work:
- Multigrain timestamps allow the kernel to use fine-grained
timestamps when an inode's attributes is being actively observed
via ->getattr(). With this support, it's possible for a file to get
a fine-grained timestamp, and another modified after it to get a
coarse-grained stamp that is earlier than the fine-grained time. If
this happens then the files can appear to have been modified in
reverse order, which breaks VFS ordering guarantees.
To prevent this, a floor value is maintained for multigrain
timestamps. Whenever a fine-grained timestamp is handed out, record
it, and when later coarse-grained stamps are handed out, ensure
they are not earlier than that value. If the coarse-grained
timestamp is earlier than the fine-grained floor, return the floor
value instead.
The timekeeper changes add a static singleton atomic64_t into
timekeeper.c that is used to keep track of the latest fine-grained
time ever handed out. This is tracked as a monotonic ktime_t value
to ensure that it isn't affected by clock jumps. Because it is
updated at different times than the rest of the timekeeper object,
the floor value is managed independently of the timekeeper via a
cmpxchg() operation, and sits on its own cacheline.
Two new public timekeeper interfaces are added:
(1) ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64_mg() fills a timespec64 with the
later of the coarse-grained clock and the floor time
(2) ktime_get_real_ts64_mg() gets the fine-grained clock value,
and tries to swap it into the floor. A timespec64 is filled
with the result.
- The VFS has always used coarse-grained timestamps when updating the
ctime and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing
filesystems to optimize away a lot metadata updates, down to around
1 per jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.
Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting
via NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of
changes can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to
help the client decide when to invalidate the cache. Even with
NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support a
change attribute and are subject to the same problems with
timestamp granularity. Other applications have similar issues with
timestamps (e.g backup applications).
If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would
improve the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the
underlying filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata
updates.
This adds a way to only use fine-grained timestamps when they are
being actively queried. Use the (unused) top bit in
inode->i_ctime_nsec as a flag that indicates whether the current
timestamps have been queried via stat() or the like. When it's set,
we allow the kernel to use a fine-grained timestamp iff it's
necessary to make the ctime show a different value.
This solves the problem of being able to distinguish the timestamp
between updates, but introduces a new problem: it's now possible
for a file being changed to get a fine-grained timestamp. A file
that is altered just a bit later can then get a coarse-grained one
that appears older than the earlier fine-grained time. This
violates timestamp ordering guarantees.
This is where the earlier mentioned timkeeping interfaces help. A
global monotonic atomic64_t value is kept that acts as a timestamp
floor. When we go to stamp a file, we first get the latter of the
current floor value and the current coarse-grained time. If the
inode ctime hasn't been queried then we just attempt to stamp it
with that value.
If it has been queried, then first see whether the current coarse
time is later than the existing ctime. If it is, then we accept
that value. If it isn't, then we get a fine-grained time and try to
swap that into the global floor. Whether that succeeds or fails, we
take the resulting floor time, convert it to realtime and try to
swap that into the ctime.
We take the result of the ctime swap whether it succeeds or fails,
since either is just as valid.
Filesystems can opt into this by setting the FS_MGTIME fstype flag.
Others should be unaffected (other than being subject to the same
floor value as multigrain filesystems)"
