f88c3fb81c mm, slab: remove last vestiges of SLAB_MEM_SPREAD
Yes, yes, I know the slab people were planning on going slow and letting
every subsystem fight this thing on their own.  But let's just rip off
the band-aid and get it over and done with.  I don't want to see a
number of unnecessary pull requests just to get rid of a flag that no
longer has any meaning.

This was mainly done with a couple of 'sed' scripts and then some manual
cleanup of the end result.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.7.fsid' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs fanotify fsid updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This work is part of the plan to enable fanotify to serve as a drop-in
  replacement for inotify. While inotify is availabe on all filesystems,
  fanotify currently isn't.

  In order to support fanotify on all filesystems two things are needed:

   (1) all filesystems need to support AT_HANDLE_FID

   (2) all filesystems need to report a non-zero f_fsid

  This contains (1) and allows filesystems to encode non-decodable file
  handlers for fanotify without implementing any exportfs operations by
  encoding a file id of type FILEID_INO64_GEN from i_ino and
  i_generation.

  Filesystems that want to opt out of encoding non-decodable file ids
  for fanotify that don't support NFS export can do so by providing an
  empty export_operations struct.

  This also partially addresses (2) by generating f_fsid for simple
  filesystems as well as freevxfs. Remaining filesystems will be dealt
  with by separate patches.

  Finally, this contains the patch from the current exportfs maintainers
  which moves exportfs under vfs with Chuck, Jeff, and Amir as
  maintainers and vfs.git as tree"

  MAINTAINERS: create an entry for exportfs

freevxfs: derive f_fsid from bdev->bd_dev
The majority of blockdev filesystems, which do not have a UUID in their
on-disk format, derive f_fsid of statfs(2) from bdev->bd_dev.

Use the same practice for freevxfs.

This will allow reporting fanotify events with fanotify_event_info_fid.

925c86a19b fs: add CONFIG_BUFFER_HEAD
Add a new config option that controls building the buffer_head code, and
select it from all file systems and stacking drivers that need it.

For the block device nodes and alternative iomap based buffered I/O path
is provided when buffer_head support is not enabled, and iomap needs a
a small tweak to define the IOMAP_F_BUFFER_HEAD flag to 0 to not call
into the buffer_head code when it doesn't exist.

Otherwise this is just Kconfig and ifdef changes.

0b1e987c56 freevxfs: relicense to GPLv2 only
When I wrote the freevxfs driver I had some odd choice of licensing
statements, the options are either GPL (without version) or an odd
BSD-ish licensense with advertising clause.

The GPL vs always meant to be the same as the kernel, that is version
2 only, and the odd BSD-ish license doesn't make much sense.  Add
a GPL2.0-only SPDX tag to make the GPL intentions clear and drop the
bogus BSD license.

e9a0561b7c vxfs: Define usercopy region in vxfs_inode slab cache
vxfs symlink pathnames, stored in struct vxfs_inode_info field
vii_immed.vi_immed and therefore contained in the vxfs_inode slab cache,
need to be copied to/from userspace.

cache object allocation:
    fs/freevxfs/vxfs_super.c:
        vxfs_alloc_inode(...):
            ...
            vi = kmem_cache_alloc(vxfs_inode_cachep, GFP_KERNEL);
            ...
            return &vi->vfs_inode;

    fs/freevxfs/vxfs_inode.c:
        cxfs_iget(...):
            ...
            inode->i_link = vip->vii_immed.vi_immed;

example usage trace:
    readlink_copy+0x43/0x70
    vfs_readlink+0x62/0x110
    SyS_readlinkat+0x100/0x130

    fs/namei.c:
        readlink_copy(..., link):
            ...
            copy_to_user(..., link, len);

        (inlined in vfs_readlink)
        generic_readlink(dentry, ...):
            struct inode *inode = d_inode(dentry);
            const char *link = inode->i_link;
            ...
            readlink_copy(..., link);

In support of usercopy hardening, this patch defines a region in the
vxfs_inode slab cache in which userspace copy operations are allowed.

This region is known as the slab cache's usercopy region. Slab caches
can now check that each dynamically sized copy operation involving
cache-managed memory falls entirely within the slab's usercopy region.

This patch is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's PAX_USERCOPY
whitelisting code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my
understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are
mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.

1751e8a6cb Rename superblock flags (MS_xyz -> SB_xyz)
This is a pure automated search-and-replace of the internal kernel
superblock flags.

The s_flags are now called SB_*, with the names and the values for the

Note how the MS_xyz flags are the ones passed to the mount system call,
while the SB_xyz flags are what we then use in sb->s_flags.

The script to do this was:

    # there are two places where we really deal with superblock flags.

it needs to be the complicated dual-endian kind ala sysvfs.

To do this properly we have to split the on disk and in-core inode
so that we can keep the in-core one in native endianness.  All other

09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

91b0abe36a mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache
Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

02b9984d64 fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()
Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
unconditional syncfs().  This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
remounted read-only.

However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
actually depending on this behavior.  In most file systems, it's
probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
like romfs).

fa7614ddd6 fs: Readd the fs module aliases.
I had assumed that the only use of module aliases for filesystems
prior to "fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules."
was in request_module.  It turns out I was wrong.  At least mkinitcpio
in Arch linux uses these aliases.

So readd the preexising aliases, to keep from breaking userspace.

Userspace eventually will have to follow and use the same aliases the
kernel does.  So at some point we may be delete these aliases without
problems.  However that day is not today.

7f78e03513 fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.
Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.

A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.

Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.

Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives.  Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.

This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work.  While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases.  The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.

This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.

After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module.  The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions.  In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted.  In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.
