Note that either retrieving the filename with '%pd' or strncpy_from_kernel_nofault(), the filename could be unreliable.

fs: add i_state helpers
The i_state member is an unsigned long so that it can be used with the wait bit infrastructure which expects unsigned long. This wastes 4 bytes which we're unlikely to ever use. Switch to using the var event wait mechanism using the address of the bit. Thanks to Linus for the address idea.

vfs: fix race between evice_inodes() and find_inode()&iput()
Hi, all
Recently I noticed a bug[1] in btrfs, after digged it into
and I believe it'a race in vfs.
Let's assume there's a inode (ie ino 261) with i_count 1 is
called by iput(), and there's a concurrent thread calling
generic_shutdown_super().
cpu0: cpu1:
iput() // i_count is 1
->spin_lock(inode)
->dec i_count to 0
->iput_final() generic_shutdown_super()
->__inode_add_lru() ->evict_inodes()
// cause some reason[2] ->if (atomic_read(inode->i_count)) continue;
// return before // inode 261 passed the above check
// list_lru_add_obj() // and then schedule out
->spin_unlock()
// note here: the inode 261
// was still at sb list and hash list,
// and I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE was not been set
btrfs_iget()
// after some function calls
->find_inode()
// found the above inode 261
->spin_lock(inode)
// check I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE
// and passed
->__iget()
->spin_unlock(inode) // schedule back
->spin_lock(inode)
// check (I_NEW|I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE) flags,
// passed and set I_FREEING
iput() ->spin_unlock(inode)
->spin_lock(inode) ->evict()
// dec i_count to 0
->iput_final()
->spin_unlock()
->evict()
Now, we have two threads simultaneously evicting
the same inode, which may trigger the BUG(inode->i_state & I_CLEAR)
statement both within clear_inode() and iput().
To fix the bug, recheck the inode->i_count after holding i_lock.
Because in the most scenarios, the first check is valid, and
the overhead of spin_lock() can be reduced.
If there is any misunderstanding, please let me know, thanks.

vfs: drop one lock trip in evict()
Most commonly neither I_LRU_ISOLATING nor I_SYNC are set, but the stock kernel takes a back-to-back relock trip to check for them.

vfs: Don't evict inode under the inode lru traversing context
The inode reclaiming process(See function prune_icache_sb) collects all
reclaimable inodes and mark them with I_FREEING flag at first, at that
time, other processes will be stuck if they try getting these inodes
(See function find_inode_fast), then the reclaiming process destroy the
inodes by function dispose_list(). Some filesystems(eg. ext4 with
ea_inode feature, ubifs with xattr) may do inode lookup in the inode
evicting callback function, if the inode lookup is operated under the
inode lru traversing context, deadlock problems may happen.
Case 1: In function ext4_evict_inode(), the ea inode lookup could happen
if ea_inode feature is enabled, the lookup process will be stuck
under the evicting context like this:
1. File A has inode i_reg and an ea inode i_ea
2. getfattr(A, xattr_buf) // i_ea is added into lru // lru->i_ea
3. Then, following three processes running like this:
PA PB
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
shrink_slab
prune_dcache_sb
// i_reg is added into lru, lru->i_ea->i_reg
prune_icache_sb
list_lru_walk_one
inode_lru_isolate
i_ea->i_state |= I_FREEING // set inode state
inode_lru_isolate
__iget(i_reg)
spin_unlock(&i_reg->i_lock)
spin_unlock(lru_lock)
rm file A
i_reg->nlink = 0
iput(i_reg) // i_reg->nlink is 0, do evict
ext4_evict_inode
ext4_xattr_delete_inode
ext4_xattr_inode_dec_ref_all
ext4_xattr_inode_iget
ext4_iget(i_ea->i_ino)
iget_locked
find_inode_fast
__wait_on_freeing_inode(i_ea) ----→ AA deadlock
dispose_list // cannot be executed by prune_icache_sb
wake_up_bit(&i_ea->i_state)
Case 2: In deleted inode writing function ubifs_jnl_write_inode(), file
deleting process holds BASEHD's wbuf->io_mutex while getting the
xattr inode, which could race with inode reclaiming process(The
reclaiming process could try locking BASEHD's wbuf->io_mutex in
inode evicting function), then an ABBA deadlock problem would
happen as following:
1. File A has inode ia and a xattr(with inode ixa), regular file B has
inode ib and a xattr.
2. getfattr(A, xattr_buf) // ixa is added into lru // lru->ixa
3. Then, following three processes running like this:
PA PB PC
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
shrink_slab
prune_dcache_sb
// ib and ia are added into lru, lru->ixa->ib->ia
prune_icache_sb
list_lru_walk_one
inode_lru_isolate
ixa->i_state |= I_FREEING // set inode state
inode_lru_isolate
__iget(ib)
spin_unlock(&ib->i_lock)
spin_unlock(lru_lock)
rm file B
ib->nlink = 0
rm file A
iput(ia)
ubifs_evict_inode(ia)
ubifs_jnl_delete_inode(ia)
ubifs_jnl_write_inode(ia)
make_reservation(BASEHD) // Lock wbuf->io_mutex
ubifs_iget(ixa->i_ino)
iget_locked
find_inode_fast
__wait_on_freeing_inode(ixa)
| iput(ib) // ib->nlink is 0, do evict
| ubifs_evict_inode
| ubifs_jnl_delete_inode(ib)
↓ ubifs_jnl_write_inode
ABBA deadlock ←-----make_reservation(BASEHD)
dispose_list // cannot be executed by prune_icache_sb
wake_up_bit(&ixa->i_state)
Fix the possible deadlock by using new inode state flag I_LRU_ISOLATING
to pin the inode in memory while inode_lru_isolate() reclaims its pages
instead of using ordinary inode reference. This way inode deletion
cannot be triggered from inode_lru_isolate() thus avoiding the deadlock.
evict() is made to wait for I_LRU_ISOLATING to be cleared before
proceeding with inode cleanup.

This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into
another proc_handler, making it necessary to change it as part of the
proc_handler migration.

inode: clarify what's locked
In __wait_on_freeing_inode() we warn in case the inode_hash_lock is held but the inode is unhashed. We then release the inode_lock. So using "locked" as parameter name is confusing. Use is_inode_hash_locked as parameter name instead. Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> |

vfs: handle __wait_on_freeing_inode() and evict() race
Lockless hash lookup can find and lock the inode after it gets the
I_FREEING flag set, at which point it blocks waiting for teardown in
evict() to finish.
However, the flag is still set even after evict() wakes up all waiters.
This results in a race where if the inode lock is taken late enough, it
can happen after both hash removal and wakeups, meaning there is nobody
to wake the racing thread up.
This worked prior to RCU-based lookup because the entire ordeal was
synchronized with the inode hash lock.
Since unhashing requires the inode lock, we can safely check whether it
happened after acquiring it.

Pull vfs inode / dentry updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains smaller performance improvements to inodes and dentries:
inode:
- Add rcu based inode lookup variants.
They avoid one inode hash lock acquire in the common case thereby
significantly reducing contention. We already support RCU-based
operations but didn't take advantage of them during inode
insertion.
Callers of iget_locked() get the improvement without any code
changes. Callers that need a custom callback can switch to
iget5_locked_rcu() as e.g., did btrfs.
With 20 threads each walking a dedicated 1000 dirs * 1000 files
directory tree to stat(2) on a 32 core + 24GB ram vm:
before: 3.54s user 892.30s system 1966% cpu 45.549 total
after: 3.28s user 738.66s system 1955% cpu 37.932 total (-16.7%)
Long-term we should pick up the effort to introduce more
fine-grained locking and possibly improve on the currently used
hash implementation.
- Start zeroing i_state in inode_init_always() instead of doing it in
individual filesystems.
This allows us to remove an unneeded lock acquire in new_inode()
and not burden individual filesystems with this.
dcache:
- Move d_lockref out of the area used by RCU lookup to avoid
cacheline ping poing because the embedded name is sharing a
cacheline with d_lockref.
- Fix dentry size on 32bit with CONFIG_SMP=y so it does actually end
up with 128 bytes in total"
* tag 'vfs-6.11.inode' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:

vfs: partially sanitize i_state zeroing on inode creation
new_inode used to have the following: spin_lock(&inode_lock); inodes_stat.nr_inodes++; list_add(&inode->i_list, &inode_in_use); list_add(&inode->i_sb_list, &sb->s_inodes); inode->i_ino = ++last_ino; inode->i_state = 0; spin_unlock(&inode_lock); over time things disappeared, got moved around or got replaced (global inode lock with a per-inode lock), eventually this got reduced to: spin_lock(&inode->i_lock); inode->i_state = 0; spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock); But the lock acquire here does not synchronize against anyone. Additionally iget5_locked performs i_state = 0 assignment without any locks to begin with, the two combined look confusing at best. It looks like the current state is a leftover which was not cleaned up. Ideally it would be an invariant that i_state == 0 to begin with, but achieving that would require dealing with all filesystem alloc handlers one by one. In the meantime drop the misleading locking and move i_state zeroing to inode_init_always so that others don't need to deal with it by hand.

This avoids one inode hash lock acquire in the common case on inode
creation, in effect significantly reducing contention.
On the stock kernel said lock is typically taken twice:
1. once to check if the inode happens to already be present
2. once to add it to the hash
The back-to-back lock/unlock pattern is known to degrade performance
significantly, which is further exacerbated if the hash is heavily
populated (long chains to walk, extending hold time). Arguably hash
sizing and hashing algo need to be revisited, but that's beyond the
scope of this patch.
With the acquire from step 1 eliminated with RCU lookup throughput
increases significantly at the scale of 20 cores (benchmark results at
the bottom).
So happens the hash already supports RCU-based operation, but lookups on
inode insertions didn't take advantage of it.
This of course has its limits as the global lock is still a bottleneck.
There was a patchset posted which introduced fine-grained locking[1] but
it appears staled. Apart from that doubt was expressed whether a
handrolled hash implementation is appropriate to begin with, suggesting
replacement with rhashtables. Nobody committed to carrying [1] across
the finish line or implementing anything better, thus the bandaid below.
iget_locked consumers (notably ext4) get away without any changes
because inode comparison method is built-in.
iget5_locked consumers pass a custom callback. Since removal of locking
adds more problems (inode can be changing) it's not safe to assume all
filesystems happen to cope. Thus iget5_locked_rcu gets added, requiring
manual conversion of interested filesystems.
In order to reduce code duplication find_inode and find_inode_fast grow
an argument indicating whether inode hash lock is held, which is passed
down in case sleeping is necessary. They always rcu_read_lock, which is
redundant but harmless. Doing it conditionally reduces readability for
no real gain that I can see. RCU-alike restrictions were already put on
callbacks due to the hash spinlock being held.
Benchmarking:
There is a real cache-busting workload scanning millions of files in
parallel (it's a backup appliance), where the initial lookup is
guaranteed to fail resulting in the two lock acquires on stock kernel
(and one with the patch at hand).
Implemented below is a synthetic benchmark providing the same behavior.
[I shall note the workload is not running on Linux, instead it was
causing trouble elsewhere. Benchmark below was used while addressing
said problems and was found to adequately represent the real workload.]
Total real time fluctuates by 1-2s.
With 20 threads each walking a dedicated 1000 dirs * 1000 files
directory tree to stat(2) on a 32 core + 24GB RAM vm:
ext4 (needed mkfs.ext4 -N 24000000):
before: 3.77s user 890.90s system 1939% cpu 46.118 total
after: 3.24s user 397.73s system 1858% cpu 21.581 total (-53%)
That's 20 million files to visit, while the machine can only cache about
15 million at a time (obtained from ext4_inode_cache object count in
/proc/slabinfo). Since each terminal inode is only visited once per run
this amounts to 0% hit ratio for the dentry cache and the hash table
(there are however hits for the intermediate directories).
On repeated runs the kernel caches the last ~15 mln, meaning there is ~5
mln of uncached inodes which are going to be visited first, evicting the
previously cached state as it happens.
Lack of hits can be trivially verified with bpftrace, like so:
bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:find_inode_fast { @[kstack(), retval != 0] = count(); }'\
-c "/bin/sh walktrees /testfs 20"
Best ran more than once.
Expected results after "warmup":

That is 20 million calls for the initial lookup and 20 million after
allocating a new inode, all of them failing to return a value != 0
(i.e., they are returning NULL -- no match found).
Of course aborting the benchmark in the middle and starting it again (or
messing with the state in other ways) is going to alter these results.

The root cause is that, one thread is doing page migration, and we will
use the target page's ->mapping field to save 'anon_vma' pointer between
page unmap and page move, and now the target page is locked and refcount
is 1.
Currently, there is another stress-ng thread performing memory hotplug,
attempting to offline the target page that is being migrated. It discovers
that the refcount of this target page is 1, preventing the offline operation,
thus proceeding to dump the page. However, page_mapping() of the target
page may return an incorrect file mapping to crash the system in dump_mapping(),
since the target page->mapping only saves 'anon_vma' pointer without setting
PAGE_MAPPING_ANON flag.
The page migration issue has been fixed by commit

sysctl-6.8-rc1
To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a size
penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the sentinel, the
final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados has been doing all this
work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
support this. For v6.7 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove
the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/ directory only.
The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as those patches
are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect also the removal of the
no longer needed check for procname == NULL.
Let us recap the purpose of this work:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move sysctls
out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to see further
work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the struct ctl_table.
Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have suggested
for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for v6.9-rc1 I look forward
to seeing him sent you a pull request for further sysctl changes. This also
removes Iurii Zaikin as a maintainer as he has moved on to other projects and
has had no time to help at all.

list_lru: allow explicit memcg and NUMA node selection
Patch series "workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap writeback", v8. There are currently several issues with zswap writeback: 1. There is only a single global LRU for zswap, making it impossible to perform worload-specific shrinking - an memcg under memory pressure cannot determine which pages in the pool it owns, and often ends up writing pages from other memcgs. This issue has been previously observed in practice and mitigated by simply disabling memcg-initiated shrinking: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230530232435.3097106-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/T/#u But this solution leaves a lot to be desired, as we still do not have an avenue for an memcg to free up its own memory locked up in the zswap pool. 2. We only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is hit. This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on factors such as memory access patterns and compressibility of the memory pages). This patch series solves these issues by separating the global zswap LRU into per-memcg and per-NUMA LRUs, and performs workload-specific (i.e memcg- and NUMA-aware) zswap writeback under memory pressure. The new shrinker does not have any parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a per-memcg basis. As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds. This patch (of 6): The interface of list_lru is based on the assumption that the list node and the data it represents belong to the same allocated on the correct node/memcg. While this assumption is valid for existing slab objects LRU such as dentries and inodes, it is undocumented, and rather inflexible for certain potential list_lru users (such as the upcoming zswap shrinker and the THP shrinker). It has caused us a lot of issues during our development. This patch changes list_lru interface so that the caller must explicitly specify numa node and memcg when adding and removing objects. The old list_lru_add() and list_lru_del() are renamed to list_lru_add_obj() and list_lru_del_obj(), respectively. It also extends the list_lru API with a new function, list_lru_putback, which undoes a previous list_lru_isolate call. Unlike list_lru_add, it does not increment the LRU node count (as list_lru_isolate does not decrement the node count). list_lru_putback also allows for explicit memcg and NUMA node selection.

filemap: add a per-mapping stable writes flag
folio_wait_stable waits for writeback to finish before modifying the contents of a folio again, e.g. to support check summing of the data in the block integrity code. Currently this behavior is controlled by the SB_I_STABLE_WRITES flag on the super_block, which means it is uniform for the entire file system. This is wrong for the block device pseudofs which is shared by all block devices, or file systems that can use multiple devices like XFS witht the RT subvolume or btrfs (although btrfs currently reimplements folio_wait_stable anyway). Add a per-address_space AS_STABLE_WRITES flag to control the behavior in a more fine grained way. The existing SB_I_STABLE_WRITES is kept to initialize AS_STABLE_WRITES to the existing default which covers most cases.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
for vfs and individual fses.
Features:
- Rename and export helpers that get write access to a mount. They
are used in overlayfs to get write access to the upper mount.
- Print the pretty name of the root device on boot failure. This
helps in scenarios where we would usually only print
"unknown-block(1,2)".
- Add an internal SB_I_NOUMASK flag. This is another part in the
endless POSIX ACL saga in a way.
When POSIX ACLs are enabled via SB_POSIXACL the vfs cannot strip
the umask because if the relevant inode has POSIX ACLs set it might
take the umask from there. But if the inode doesn't have any POSIX
ACLs set then we apply the umask in the filesytem itself. So we end
up with:
(1) no SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in vfs
(2) SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in filesystem
The umask semantics associated with SB_POSIXACL allowed filesystems
that don't even support POSIX ACLs at all to raise SB_POSIXACL
purely to avoid umask stripping. That specifically means NFS v4 and
Overlayfs. NFS v4 does it because it delegates this to the server
and Overlayfs because it needs to delegate umask stripping to the
upper filesystem, i.e., the filesystem used as the writable layer.
This went so far that SB_POSIXACL is raised eve on kernels that
don't even have POSIX ACL support at all.
Stop this blatant abuse and add SB_I_NOUMASK which is an internal
superblock flag that filesystems can raise to opt out of umask
handling. That should really only be the two mentioned above. It's
not that we want any filesystems to do this. Ideally we have all
umask handling always in the vfs.
- Make overlayfs use SB_I_NOUMASK too.
- Now that we have SB_I_NOUMASK, stop checking for SB_POSIXACL in
IS_POSIXACL() if the kernel doesn't have support for it. This is a
very old patch but it's only possible to do this now with the wider
cleanup that was done.
- Follow-up work on fake path handling from last cycle. Citing mostly
from Amir:
When overlayfs was first merged, overlayfs files of regular files
and directories, the ones that are installed in file table, had a
"fake" path, namely, f_path is the overlayfs path and f_inode is
the "real" inode on the underlying filesystem.
In v6.5, we took another small step by introducing of the
backing_file container and the file_real_path() helper. This change
allowed vfs and filesystem code to get the "real" path of an
overlayfs backing file. With this change, we were able to make
fsnotify work correctly and report events on the "real" filesystem
objects that were accessed via overlayfs.
This method works fine, but it still leaves the vfs vulnerable to
new code that is not aware of files with fake path. A recent
example is commit

fs: rename __mnt_{want,drop}_write*() helpers
Before exporting these helpers to modules, make their names more
meaningful.
The names mnt_{get,put)_write_access*() were chosen, because they rhyme
with the inode {get,put)_write_access() helpers, which have a very close
meaning for the inode object.

Pull superblock updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the super rework that was ready for this cycle. The
first part changes the order of how we open block devices and allocate
superblocks, contains various cleanups, simplifications, and a new
mechanism to wait on superblock state changes.
This unblocks work to ultimately limit the number of writers to a
block device. Jan has already scheduled follow-up work that will be
ready for v6.7 and allows us to restrict the number of writers to a
given block device. That series builds on this work right here.
The second part contains filesystem freezing updates.
Overview:
The generic superblock changes are rougly organized as follows
(ignoring additional minor cleanups):
(1) Removal of the bd_super member from struct block_device.
This was a very odd back pointer to struct super_block with
unclear rules. For all relevant places we have other means to get
the same information so just get rid of this.
(2) Simplify rules for superblock cleanup.
Roughly, everything that is allocated during fs_context
initialization and that's stored in fs_context->s_fs_info needs
to be cleaned up by the fs_context->free() implementation before
the superblock allocation function has been called successfully.
After sget_fc() returned fs_context->s_fs_info has been
transferred to sb->s_fs_info at which point sb->kill_sb() if
fully responsible for cleanup. Adhering to these rules means that
cleanup of sb->s_fs_info in fill_super() is to be avoided as it's
brittle and inconsistent.
Cleanup shouldn't be duplicated between sb->put_super() as
sb->put_super() is only called if sb->s_root has been set aka
when the filesystem has been successfully born (SB_BORN). That
complexity should be avoided.
This also means that block devices are to be closed in
sb->kill_sb() instead of sb->put_super(). More details in the
lower section.
(3) Make it possible to lookup or create a superblock before opening
block devices
There's a subtle dependency on (2) as some filesystems did rely
on fill_super() to be called in order to correctly clean up
sb->s_fs_info. All these filesystems have been fixed.
(4) Switch most filesystem to follow the same logic as the generic
mount code now does as outlined in (3).
(5) Use the superblock as the holder of the block device. We can now
easily go back from block device to owning superblock.
(6) Export and extend the generic fs_holder_ops and use them as
holder ops everywhere and remove the filesystem specific holder
ops.
(7) Call from the block layer up into the filesystem layer when the
block device is removed, allowing to shut down the filesystem
without risk of deadlocks.
(8) Get rid of get_super().
We can now easily go back from the block device to owning
superblock and can call up from the block layer into the
filesystem layer when the device is removed. So no need to wade
through all registered superblock to find the owning superblock
anymore"

Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs,
xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant
filesystems.
The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime
and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems
to optimize away a lot of 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 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 introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are
actively queried.
This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that
something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag
is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a
fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.
As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime
must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so
only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.
Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
coarse-grained timestamps.
Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included:
- Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime
together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all
maintainers provided necessary Acks.
- Add new accessors for inode->i_ctime directly and change all
callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode->i_ctime are now
gone and it is accordingly rename to inode->__i_ctime and commented
as requiring accessors.
- Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a
sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request
mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in.
- Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now
parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers.
- Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it
removing a bunch of open-coding"

locking: remove spin_lock_prefetch
The only remaining consumer is new_inode, where it showed up in 2001 as
commit c37fa164f793 ("v2.4.9.9 -> v2.4.9.10") in a historical repo [1]
with a changelog which does not mention it.
Since then the line got only touched up to keep compiling.
While it may have been of benefit back in the day, it is guaranteed to
at best not get in the way in the multicore setting -- as the code
performs *a lot* of work between the prefetch and actual lock acquire,
any contention means the cacheline is already invalid by the time the
routine calls spin_lock(). It adds spurious traffic, for short.
On top of it prefetch is notoriously tricky to use for single-threaded
purposes, making it questionable from the get go.
As such, remove it.
I admit upfront I did not see value in benchmarking this change, but I
can do it if that is deemed appropriate.
Removal from new_inode and of the entire thing are in the same patch as
requested by Linus, so whatever weird looks can be directed at that guy.

fs: drop the timespec64 arg from generic_update_time
In future patches we're going to change how the ctime is updated to keep track of when it has been queried. The way that the update_time operation works (and a lot of its callers) make this difficult, since they grab a timestamp early and then pass it down to eventually be copied into the inode. All of the existing update_time callers pass in the result of current_time() in some fashion. Drop the "time" parameter from generic_update_time, and rework it to fetch its own timestamp. This change means that an update_time could fetch a different timestamp than was seen in inode_needs_update_time. update_time is only ever called with one of two flag combinations: Either S_ATIME is set, or S_MTIME|S_CTIME|S_VERSION are set. With this change we now treat the flags argument as an indicator that some value needed to be updated when last checked, rather than an indication to update specific timestamps. Rework the logic for updating the timestamps and put it in a new inode_update_timestamps helper that other update_time routines can use. S_ATIME is as treated as we always have, but if any of the other three are set, then we attempt to update all three. Also, some callers of generic_update_time need to know what timestamps were actually updated. Change it to return an S_* flag mask to indicate that and rework the callers to expect it.
