319c151747 epoll: take epitem list out of struct file
Move the head of epitem list out of struct file; for epoll ones it's
moved into struct eventpoll (->refs there), for non-epoll - into
the new object (struct epitem_head).  In place of ->f_ep_links we
leave a pointer to the list head (->f_ep).

->f_ep is protected by ->f_lock and it's zeroed as soon as the list
of epitems becomes empty (that can happen only in ep_remove() by
now).

The list of files for reverse path check is *not* going through
struct file now - it's a single-linked list going through epitem_head
instances.  It's terminated by ERR_PTR(-1) (== EP_UNACTIVE_POINTER),
so the elements of list can be distinguished by head->next != NULL.

epitem_head instances are allocated at ep_insert() time (by
attach_epitem()) and freed either by ep_remove() (if it empties
the set of epitems *and* epitem_head does not belong to the
reverse path check list) or by clear_tfile_check_list() when
the list is emptied (if the set of epitems is empty by that
point).  Allocations are done from a separate slab - minimal kmalloc()
size is too large on some architectures.

As the result, we trim struct file _and_ get rid of the games with
temporary file references.

Locking and barriers are interesting (aren't they always); see unlist_file()
and ep_remove() for details.  The non-obvious part is that ep_remove() needs
to decide if it will be the one to free the damn thing *before* actually
storing NULL to head->epitems.first - that's what smp_load_acquire is for
in there.  unlist_file() lockless path is safe, since we hit it only if
we observe NULL in head->epitems.first and whoever had done that store is
guaranteed to have observed non-NULL in head->next.  IOW, their last access
had been the store of NULL into ->epitems.first and we can safely free
the sucker.  OTOH, we are under rcu_read_lock() and both epitem and
epitem->file have their freeing RCU-delayed.  So if we see non-NULL
->epitems.first, we can grab ->f_lock (all epitems in there share the
same struct file) and safely recheck the emptiness of ->epitems; again,
->next is still non-NULL, so ep_remove() couldn't have freed head yet.
->f_lock serializes us wrt ep_remove(); the rest is trivial.

Note that once head->epitems becomes NULL, nothing can get inserted into
it - the only remaining reference to head after that point is from the
reverse path check list.

91989c7078 task_work: cleanup notification modes
A previous commit changed the notification mode from true/false to an
int, allowing notify-no, notify-yes, or signal-notify. This was
backwards compatible in the sense that any existing true/false user
would translate to either 0 (on notification sent) or 1, the latter
which mapped to TWA_RESUME. TWA_SIGNAL was assigned a value of 2.

Clean this up properly, and define a proper enum for the notification
mode. Now we have:

- TWA_NONE. This is 0, same as before the original change, meaning no
  notification requested.
- TWA_RESUME. This is 1, same as before the original change, meaning
  that we use TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.
- TWA_SIGNAL. This uses TIF_SIGPENDING/JOBCTL_TASK_WORK for the
  notification.

Clean up all the callers, switching their 0/1/false/true to using the
appropriate TWA_* mode for notifications.

b6509f6a8c Revert "fs: Do not check if there is a fsnotify watcher on pseudo inodes"
This reverts commit e9c15badbb ("fs: Do not check if there is a
fsnotify watcher on pseudo inodes"). The commit intended to eliminate
fsnotify-related overhead for pseudo inodes but it is broken in
concept. inotify can receive events of pipe files under /proc/X/fd and
chromium relies on close and open events for sandboxing. Maxim Levitsky
reported the following

  Chromium starts as a white rectangle, shows few white rectangles that
  resemble its notifications and then crashes.

  The stdout output from chromium:

  [mlevitsk@starship ~]$chromium-freeworld
  mesa: for the   --simplifycfg-sink-common option: may only occur zero or one times!
  mesa: for the   --global-isel-abort option: may only occur zero or one times!

  Received signal 11 SEGV_MAPERR 0000004a9048

Crashes are not universal but even if chromium does not crash, it certainly
does not work properly. While filtering just modify and access might be
safe, the benefit is not worth the risk hence the revert.

e9c15badbb fs: Do not check if there is a fsnotify watcher on pseudo inodes
The kernel uses internal mounts created by kern_mount() and populated
with files with no lookup path by alloc_file_pseudo() for a variety of
reasons. An example of such a mount is for anonymous pipes. For pipes,
every vfs_write() regardless of filesystem, calls fsnotify_modify()
to notify of any changes which incurs a small amount of overhead in
fsnotify even when there are no watchers. It can also trigger for reads
and readv and writev, it was simply vfs_write() that was noticed first.

A patch is pending that reduces, but does not eliminate, the overhead of
fsnotify but for files that cannot be looked up via a path, even that
small overhead is unnecessary. The user API for all notification
subsystems (inotify, fanotify, ...) is based on the pathname and a dirfd
and proc entries appear to be the only visible representation of the
files. Proc does not have the same pathname as the internal entry and
the proc inode is not the same as the internal inode so even if fanotify
is used on a file under /proc/XX/fd, no useful events are notified.

This patch changes alloc_file_pseudo() to always opt out of fsnotify by
setting FMODE_NONOTIFY flag so that no check is made for fsnotify
watchers on pseudo files. This should be safe as the underlying helper
for the dentry is d_alloc_pseudo() which explicitly states that no
lookups are ever performed meaning that fanotify should have nothing
useful to attach to.

The test motivating this was "perf bench sched messaging --pipe". On
a single-socket machine using threads the difference of the patch was
as follows.

                              5.7.0                  5.7.0
                            vanilla        nofsnotify-v1r1
Amean     1       1.3837 (   0.00%)      1.3547 (   2.10%)
Amean     3       3.7360 (   0.00%)      3.6543 (   2.19%)
Amean     5       5.8130 (   0.00%)      5.7233 *   1.54%*
Amean     7       8.1490 (   0.00%)      7.9730 *   2.16%*
Amean     12     14.6843 (   0.00%)     14.1820 (   3.42%)
Amean     18     21.8840 (   0.00%)     21.7460 (   0.63%)
Amean     24     28.8697 (   0.00%)     29.1680 (  -1.03%)
Amean     30     36.0787 (   0.00%)     35.2640 *   2.26%*
Amean     32     38.0527 (   0.00%)     38.1223 (  -0.18%)

The difference is small but in some cases it's outside the noise so
while marginal, there is still some small benefit to ignoring fsnotify
for files allocated via alloc_file_pseudo() in some cases.

735e4ae5ba vfs: track per-sb writeback errors and report them to syncfs
Patch series "vfs: have syncfs() return error when there are writeback
errors", v6.

Currently, syncfs does not return errors when one of the inodes fails to
be written back.  It will return errors based on the legacy AS_EIO and
AS_ENOSPC flags when syncing out the block device fails, but that's not
particularly helpful for filesystems that aren't backed by a blockdev.
It's also possible for a stray sync to lose those errors.

The basic idea in this set is to track writeback errors at the
superblock level, so that we can quickly and easily check whether
something bad happened without having to fsync each file individually.
syncfs is then changed to reliably report writeback errors after they
occur, much in the same fashion as fsync does now.

This patch (of 2):

Usually we suggest that applications call fsync when they want to ensure
that all data written to the file has made it to the backing store, but
that can be inefficient when there are a lot of open files.

Calling syncfs on the filesystem can be more efficient in some
situations, but the error reporting doesn't currently work the way most
people expect.  If a single inode on a filesystem reports a writeback
error, syncfs won't necessarily return an error.  syncfs only returns an
error if __sync_blockdev fails, and on some filesystems that's a no-op.

It would be better if syncfs reported an error if there were any
writeback failures.  Then applications could call syncfs to see if there
are any errors on any open files, and could then call fsync on all of
the other descriptors to figure out which one failed.

This patch adds a new errseq_t to struct super_block, and has
mapping_set_error also record writeback errors there.

To report those errors, we also need to keep an errseq_t in struct file
to act as a cursor.  This patch adds a dedicated field for that purpose,
which slots nicely into 4 bytes of padding at the end of struct file on
x86_64.

An earlier version of this patch used an O_PATH file descriptor to cue
the kernel that the open file should track the superblock error and not
the inode's writeback error.

I think that API is just too weird though.  This is simpler and should
make syncfs error reporting "just work" even if someone is multiplexing
fsync and syncfs on the same fds.

32927393dc sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler
Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from  userspace in common code.  This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

a07b200047 vfs: syscall: Add open_tree(2) to reference or clone a mount
open_tree(dfd, pathname, flags)

Returns an O_PATH-opened file descriptor or an error.
dfd and pathname specify the location to open, in usual
fashion (see e.g. fstatat(2)).  flags should be an OR of
some of the following:
	* AT_PATH_EMPTY, AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW -
same meanings as usual
	* OPEN_TREE_CLOEXEC - make the resulting descriptor
close-on-exec
	* OPEN_TREE_CLONE or OPEN_TREE_CLONE | AT_RECURSIVE -
instead of opening the location in question, create a detached
mount tree matching the subtree rooted at location specified by
dfd/pathname.  With AT_RECURSIVE the entire subtree is cloned,
without it - only the part within in the mount containing the
location in question.  In other words, the same as mount --rbind
or mount --bind would've taken.  The detached tree will be
dissolved on the final close of obtained file.  Creation of such
detached trees requires the same capabilities as doing mount --bind.

Stacking file operations in overlay will store an extra open file for each
overlay file opened.

The overhead is just that of "struct file" which is about 256bytes, because
overlay already pins an extra dentry and inode when the file is open, which
add up to a much larger overhead.

For fear of breaking working setups, don't start accounting the extra file.

f3f7c09355 fs, mm: account filp cache to kmemcg
The allocations from filp cache can be directly triggered by userspace
applications.  A buggy application can consume a significant amount of
unaccounted system memory.  Though we have not noticed such buggy
applications in our production but upon close inspection, we found that
a lot of machines spend very significant amount of memory on these
caches.

One way to limit allocations from filp cache is to set system level
limit of maximum number of open files.  However this limit is shared
between different users on the system and one user can hog this
resource.  To cater that, we can charge filp to kmemcg and set the
maximum limit very high and let the memory limit of each user limit the
number of files they can open and indirectly limiting their allocations
from filp cache.

One side effect of this change is that it will allow _sysctl() to return
ENOMEM and the man page of _sysctl() does not specify that.  However the
man page also discourages to use _sysctl() at all.

5660e13d2f fs: new infrastructure for writeback error handling and reporting
Most filesystems currently use mapping_set_error and
filemap_check_errors for setting and reporting/clearing writeback errors
at the mapping level. filemap_check_errors is indirectly called from
most of the filemap_fdatawait_* functions and from
filemap_write_and_wait*. These functions are called from all sorts of
contexts to wait on writeback to finish -- e.g. mostly in fsync, but
also in truncate calls, getattr, etc.

The non-fsync callers are problematic. We should be reporting writeback
errors during fsync, but many places spread over the tree clear out
errors before they can be properly reported, or report errors at
nonsensical times.

If I get -EIO on a stat() call, there is no reason for me to assume that
it is because some previous writeback failed. The fact that it also
clears out the error such that a subsequent fsync returns 0 is a bug,
and a nasty one since that's potentially silent data corruption.

This patch adds a small bit of new infrastructure for setting and
reporting errors during address_space writeback. While the above was my
original impetus for adding this, I think it's also the case that
current fsync semantics are just problematic for userland. Most
applications that call fsync do so to ensure that the data they wrote
has hit the backing store.

In the case where there are multiple writers to the file at the same
time, this is really hard to determine. The first one to call fsync will
see any stored error, and the rest get back 0. The processes with open
fds may not be associated with one another in any way. They could even
be in different containers, so ensuring coordination between all fsync
callers is not really an option.

One way to remedy this would be to track what file descriptor was used
to dirty the file, but that's rather cumbersome and would likely be
slow. However, there is a simpler way to improve the semantics here
without incurring too much overhead.

This set adds an errseq_t to struct address_space, and a corresponding
one is added to struct file. Writeback errors are recorded in the
mapping's errseq_t, and the one in struct file is used as the "since"
value.

This changes the semantics of the Linux fsync implementation such that
applications can now use it to determine whether there were any
writeback errors since fsync(fd) was last called (or since the file was
opened in the case of fsync having never been called).

Note that those writeback errors may have occurred when writing data
that was dirtied via an entirely different fd, but that's the case now
with the current mapping_set_error/filemap_check_error infrastructure.
This will at least prevent you from getting a false report of success.

The new behavior is still consistent with the POSIX spec, and is more
reliable for application developers. This patch just adds some basic
infrastructure for doing this, and ensures that the f_wb_err "cursor"
is properly set when a file is opened. Later patches will change the
existing code to use this new infrastructure for reporting errors at
fsync time.

4248b0da46 fs, file table: reinit files_stat.max_files after deferred memory initialisation
Dave Hansen reported the following;

	My laptop has been behaving strangely with 4.2-rc2.  Once I log
	in to my X session, I start getting all kinds of strange errors
	from applications and see this in my dmesg:

        	VFS: file-max limit 8192 reached

The problem is that the file-max is calculated before memory is fully
initialised and miscalculates how much memory the kernel is using.  This
patch recalculates file-max after deferred memory initialisation.  Note
that using memory hotplug infrastructure would not have avoided this
problem as the value is not recalculated after memory hot-add.

4.1:             files_stat.max_files = 6582781
4.2-rc2:         files_stat.max_files = 8192
4.2-rc2 patched: files_stat.max_files = 6562467

Small differences with the patch applied and 4.1 but not enough to matter.

high and introducing _gfp variants to all percpu data structures would
be quite ugly, so let's just do the conversion.  This is the one with

aio_read and aio_write instances, the things will get nicer.

For now, these guys are in parallel to ->aio_read() and ->aio_write();
they take iocb and iov_iter, with everything in iov_iter already
validated.  File offset is passed in iocb->ki_pos, iov/nr_segs -
in iov_iter.

Main concerns in that series are stack footprint and ability to

moderately convoluted case (pipe(), close one end, try to get to
another via /proc/*/fd and run into ETXTBUSY).

78ed8a1338 locks: rename locks_remove_flock to locks_remove_file
This function currently removes leases in addition to flock locks and in
a later patch we'll have it deal with file-private locks too. Rename it
to locks_remove_file to indicate that it removes locks that are
associated with a particular struct file, and not just flock locks.

9c225f2655 vfs: atomic f_pos accesses as per POSIX
Our write() system call has always been atomic in the sense that you get
the expected thread-safe contiguous write, but we haven't actually
guaranteed that concurrent writes are serialized wrt f_pos accesses, so
threads (or processes) that share a file descriptor and use "write()"
concurrently would quite likely overwrite each others data.

This violates POSIX.1-2008/SUSv4 Section XSI 2.9.7 that says:

 "2.9.7 Thread Interactions with Regular File Operations

  All of the following functions shall be atomic with respect to each
  other in the effects specified in POSIX.1-2008 when they operate on
  regular files or symbolic links: [...]"

and one of the effects is the file position update.

This unprotected file position behavior is not new behavior, and nobody
has ever cared.  Until now.  Yongzhi Pan reported unexpected behavior to
Michael Kerrisk that was due to this.

This resolves the issue with a f_pos-specific lock that is taken by
read/write/lseek on file descriptors that may be shared across threads
or processes.
