Pull Writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton:
"This pile represents the bulk of the writeback error handling fixes
that I have for this cycle. Some of the earlier patches in this pile
may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the
series.
The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback
errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity
will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their
writes have made it to the backing store.
For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags
in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a
writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a
side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This
model really sucks for userland.
Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the
error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0
(unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have
several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their
writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one
another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized
setups that coordination may even not be possible.
But wait...it gets worse!
The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the
call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait
and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those
callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to
userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get
back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was
because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will
(incorrectly) return 0.
This pile aims to do three things:
1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be
reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call,
regardless of what internal callers are doing
2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at
the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change,
but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior
anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it.
3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback
error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a
lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what
filesystems should do in this situation.
To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then
builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once
all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new
infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland.
Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess.
There is a lot of work remaining here:
1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the
initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly
simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual
filesystem trees.
2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for
detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some
draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for
prime time yet.
This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too. If you're
interested in the gory details, LWN has some good articles about this:

fs: check for writeback errors after syncing out buffers in generic_file_fsync
buffer: use mapping_set_error instead of setting the flag
mm: fix mapping_set_error call in me_pagecache_dirty
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.

Define a set of write life time hints:
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET No hint information set
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_NONE No hints about write life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_SHORT Data written has a short life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_MEDIUM Data written has a medium life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_LONG Data written has a long life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_EXTREME Data written has an extremely long life time
The intent is for these values to be relative to each other, no
absolute meaning should be attached to these flag names.
Add an fcntl interface for querying these flags, and also for
setting them as well:
F_GET_RW_HINT Returns the read/write hint set on the
underlying inode.
F_SET_RW_HINT Set one of the above write hints on the
underlying inode.
F_GET_FILE_RW_HINT Returns the read/write hint set on the
file descriptor.
F_SET_FILE_RW_HINT Set one of the above write hints on the
file descriptor.
The user passes in a 64-bit pointer to get/set these values, and
the interface returns 0/-1 on success/error.
Sample program testing/implementing basic setting/getting of write
hints is below.
Add support for storing the write life time hint in the inode flags
and in struct file as well, and pass them to the kiocb flags. If
both a file and its corresponding inode has a write hint, then we
use the one in the file, if available. The file hint can be used
for sync/direct IO, for buffered writeback only the inode hint
is available.
This is in preparation for utilizing these hints in the block layer,
to guide on-media data placement.

Beyond correct semantics, this avoids freeze protection to sb when

"Let individual file system decide if it supports preallocation

But there is no in-tree file system that implements fallocate
for directory operations.
Deny an attempt to fallocate a directory with EISDIR error.
This change is needed prior to converting sb_start_write()

Pull XFS support for shared data extents from Dave Chinner:
"This is the second part of the XFS updates for this merge cycle. This
pullreq contains the new shared data extents feature for XFS.
Given the complexity and size of this change I am expecting - like the
addition of reverse mapping last cycle - that there will be some
follow-up bug fixes and cleanups around the -rc3 stage for issues that
I'm sure will show up once the code hits a wider userbase.
What it is:
At the most basic level we are simply adding shared data extents to
XFS - i.e. a single extent on disk can now have multiple owners. To do
this we have to add new on-disk features to both track the shared
extents and the number of times they've been shared. This is done by
the new "refcount" btree that sits in every allocation group. When we
share or unshare an extent, this tree gets updated.
Along with this new tree, the reverse mapping tree needs to be updated
to track each owner or a shared extent. This also needs to be updated
ever share/unshare operation. These interactions at extent allocation
and freeing time have complex ordering and recovery constraints, so
there's a significant amount of new intent-based transaction code to
ensure that operations are performed atomically from both the runtime
and integrity/crash recovery perspectives.
We also need to break sharing when writes hit a shared extent - this
is where the new copy-on-write implementation comes in. We allocate
new storage and copy the original data along with the overwrite data
into the new location. We only do this for data as we don't share
metadata at all - each inode has it's own metadata that tracks the
shared data extents, the extents undergoing CoW and it's own private
extents.
Of course, being XFS, nothing is simple - we use delayed allocation
for CoW similar to how we use it for normal writes. ENOSPC is a
significant issue here - we build on the reservation code added in
4.8-rc1 with the reverse mapping feature to ensure we don't get
spurious ENOSPC issues part way through a CoW operation. These
mechanisms also help minimise fragmentation due to repeated CoW
operations. To further reduce fragmentation overhead, we've also
introduced a CoW extent size hint, which indicates how large a region
we should allocate when we execute a CoW operation.
With all this functionality in place, we can hook up .copy_file_range,
.clone_file_range and .dedupe_file_range and we gain all the
capabilities of reflink and other vfs provided functionality that
enable manipulation to shared extents. We also added a fallocate mode
that explicitly unshares a range of a file, which we implemented as an
explicit CoW of all the shared extents in a file.
As such, it's a huge chunk of new functionality with new on-disk
format features and internal infrastructure. It warns at mount time as
an experimental feature and that it may eat data (as we do with all
new on-disk features until they stabilise). We have not released
userspace suport for it yet - userspace support currently requires
download from Darrick's xfsprogs repo and build from source, so the
access to this feature is really developer/tester only at this point.
Initial userspace support will be released at the same time the kernel
with this code in it is released.
The new code causes 5-6 new failures with xfstests - these aren't
serious functional failures but things the output of tests changing
slightly due to perturbations in layouts, space usage, etc. OTOH,
we've added 150+ new tests to xfstests that specifically exercise this
new functionality so it's got far better test coverage than any
functionality we've previously added to XFS.
Darrick has done a pretty amazing job getting us to this stage, and
special mention also needs to go to Christoph (review, testing,
improvements and bug fixes) and Brian (caught several intricate bugs
during review) for the effort they've also put in.
Summary:
- unshare range (FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE) support for fallocate
- copy-on-write extent size hints (FS_XFLAG_COWEXTSIZE) for fsxattr
interface

After much discussion, it seems that the fallocate feature flag
FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE maps nicely to SCSI WRITE SAME; and the feature
FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE maps nicely to the devices that have been whitelisted
for zeroing SCSI UNMAP. Punch still requires that FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE is
set. A length that goes past the end of the device will be clamped to the
device size if KEEP_SIZE is set; or will return -EINVAL if not. Both
start and length must be aligned to the device's logical block size.
Since the semantics of fallocate are fairly well established already, wire
up the two pieces. The other fallocate variants (collapse range, insert
range, and allocate blocks) are not supported.

The problem with writecount is: we want consistent handling of it for
underlying filesystems as well as overlayfs. Making sure i_writecount is
correct on all layers is difficult. Instead this patch makes sure that
when write access is acquired, it's always done on the underlying writable
layer (called the upper layer). We must also make sure to look at the
writecount on this layer when checking for conflicting leases.
Open for write already updates the upper layer's writecount. Leaving only
truncate.
For truncate copy up must happen before get_write_access() so that the
writecount is updated on the upper layer. Problem with this is if
something fails after that, then copy-up was done needlessly. E.g. if
break_lease() was interrupted. Probably not a big deal in practice.
Another interesting case is if there's a denywrite on a lower file that is
then opened for write or truncated. With this patch these will succeed,
which is somewhat counterintuitive. But I think it's still acceptable,
considering that the copy-up does actually create a different file, so the
old, denywrite mapping won't be touched.
On non-overlayfs d_real() is an identity function and d_real_inode() is
equivalent to d_inode() so this patch doesn't change behavior in that case.

This patch allows flock, posix locks, ofd locks and leases to work
correctly on overlayfs.
Instead of using the underlying inode for storing lock context use the
overlay inode. This allows locks to be persistent across copy-up.
This is done by introducing locks_inode() helper and using it instead of
file_inode() to get the inode in locking code. For non-overlayfs the two
are equivalent, except for an extra pointer dereference in locks_inode().
Since lock operations are in "struct file_operations" we must also make
sure not to call underlying filesystem's lock operations. Introcude a
super block flag MS_NOREMOTELOCK to this effect.

First off, the intention of this pull is to declare that I'll be the
binfmt_misc maintainer (mainly on the grounds of you touched it last,
it's yours). There's no MAINTAINERS entry, but get_maintainers.pl
will now finger me.
The update itself is to allow architecture emulation containers to
function such that the emulation binary can be housed outside the
container itself. The container and fs parts both have acks from
relevant experts.
The change is user visible. To use the new feature you have to add an
F option to your binfmt_misc configuration. However, the existing
tools, like systemd-binfmt work with this without modification.

The two methods essentially do the same: find the real dentry/inode
belonging to an overlay dentry. The difference is in the usage:
vfs_open() uses ->d_select_inode() and expects the function to perform
copy-up if necessary based on the open flags argument.
file_dentry() uses ->d_real() passing in the overlay dentry as well as the
underlying inode.
vfs_rename() uses ->d_select_inode() but passes zero flags. ->d_real()
with a zero inode would have worked just as well here.
This patch merges the functionality of ->d_select_inode() into ->d_real()
by adding an 'open_flags' argument to the latter.

This commit fixes the following security hole affecting systems where
all of the following conditions are fulfilled:
- The fs.suid_dumpable sysctl is set to 2.
- The kernel.core_pattern sysctl's value starts with "/". (Systems
where kernel.core_pattern starts with "|/" are not affected.)
- Unprivileged user namespace creation is permitted. (This is
true on Linux >=3.8, but some distributions disallow it by
default using a distro patch.)
Under these conditions, if a program executes under secure exec rules,
causing it to run with the SUID_DUMP_ROOT flag, then unshares its user
namespace, changes its root directory and crashes, the coredump will be
written using fsuid=0 and a path derived from kernel.core_pattern - but
this path is interpreted relative to the root directory of the process,
allowing the attacker to control where a coredump will be written with
root privileges.
To fix the security issue, always interpret core_pattern for dumps that
are written under SUID_DUMP_ROOT relative to the root directory of init.

Today proc and sysfs do not contain any executable files. Several
applications today mount proc or sysfs without noexec and nosuid and
then depend on there being no exectuables files on proc or sysfs.
Having any executable files show on proc or sysfs would cause
a user space visible regression, and most likely security problems.
Therefore commit to never allowing executables on proc and sysfs by
adding a new flag to mark them as filesystems without executables and
enforce that flag.
Test the flag where MNT_NOEXEC is tested today, so that the only user
visible effect will be that exectuables will be treated as if the
execute bit is cleared.
The filesystems proc and sysfs do not currently incoporate any
executable files so this does not result in any user visible effects.
This makes it unnecessary to vet changes to proc and sysfs tightly for
adding exectuable files or changes to chattr that would modify
existing files, as no matter what the individual file say they will
not be treated as exectuable files by the vfs.
Not having to vet changes to closely is important as without this we
are only one proc_create call (or another goof up in the
implementation of notify_change) from having problematic executables
on proc. Those mistakes are all too easy to make and would create
a situation where there are security issues or the assumptions of
some program having to be broken (and cause userspace regressions).

Comment in include/linux/security.h says that ->inode_killpriv() should
be called when setuid bit is being removed and that similar security
labels (in fact this applies only to file capabilities) should be
removed at this time as well. However we don't call ->inode_killpriv()
when we remove suid bit on truncate.
We fix the problem by calling ->inode_need_killpriv() and subsequently
->inode_killpriv() on truncate the same way as we do it on file write.
After this patch there's only one user of should_remove_suid() - ocfs2 -
and indeed it's buggy because it doesn't call ->inode_killpriv() on
write. However fixing it is difficult because of special locking
constraints.

Make file->f_path always point to the overlay dentry so that the path in
/proc/pid/fd is correct and to ensure that label-based LSMs have access to the
overlay as well as the underlay (path-based LSMs probably don't need it).
Using my union testsuite to set things up, before the patch I see:
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/
...
lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun 5 14:38 5 -> /a/foo107
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107

...
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5
...
Device: 23h/35d Inode: 13381 Links: 1
...
After the patch:
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/
...
lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun 5 14:22 5 -> /mnt/a/foo107

...
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5
...
Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346 Links: 1
...
Note the change in where /proc/$$/fd/5 points to in the ls command. It was
pointing to /a/foo107 (which doesn't exist) and now points to /mnt/a/foo107
(which is correct).

We have observed a BUG() crash in fs/attr.c:notify_change(). The crash
occurs during an rsync into a filesystem that is exported via NFS.
1.) fs/attr.c:notify_change() modifies the caller's version of attr.
2.) 6de0ec00ba ("VFS: make notify_change pass ATTR_KILL_S*ID to
setattr operations") introduced a BUG() restriction such that "no
function will ever call notify_change() with both ATTR_MODE and
ATTR_KILL_S*ID set". Under some circumstances though, it will have
assisted in setting the caller's version of attr to this very
combination.
3.) 27ac0ffeac ("locks: break delegations on any attribute
modification") introduced code to handle breaking
delegations. This can result in notify_change() being re-called. attr
_must_ be explicitly reset to avoid triggering the BUG() established
in #2.
4.) The path that that triggers this is via fs/open.c:chmod_common().
The combination of attr flags set here and in the first call to
notify_change() along with a later failed break_deleg_wait()
results in notify_change() being called again via retry_deleg
without resetting attr.
Solution is to move retry_deleg in chmod_common() a bit further up to
ensure attr is completely reset.
There are other places where this seemingly could occur, such as
fs/utimes.c:utimes_common(), but the attr flags are not initially
set in such a way to trigger this.
Fixes: 27ac0ffeac ("locks: break delegations on any attribute modification")

There are several areas in the kernel that create temporary filename

int func(const char *name)
{
struct filename *file = { .name = name };
...
return 0;
}
... which for the most part works okay, but it causes havoc within the
audit subsystem as the filename object does not persist beyond the

filename objects into proper filename objects using getname_kernel()

The fanotify and the inotify API can be used to monitor changes of the
file system. System call fallocate() modifies files. Hence it should
trigger the corresponding fanotify (FAN_MODIFY) and inotify (IN_MODIFY)
events. The most interesting case is FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE because
this value allows to create arbitrary file content from random data.
This patch adds the missing call to fsnotify_modify().
The FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY event will be created when fallocate()
succeeds. It will even be created if the file length remains unchanged,
e.g. when calling fanotify with flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE.
This logic was primarily chosen to keep the coding simple.
It resembles the logic of the write() system call.
When we call write() we always create a FAN_MODIFY event, even in the case
of overwriting with identical data.
Events FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY do not provide any guarantee that data was
actually changed.
Furthermore even if if the filesize remains unchanged, fallocate() may
influence whether a subsequent write() will succeed and hence the
fallocate() call may be considered a modification.
The fallocate(2) man page teaches: After a successful call, subsequent
writes into the range specified by offset and len are guaranteed not to
fail because of lack of disk space.
So calling fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, offset, len) may result in
different outcomes of a subsequent write depending on the values of offset
and len.
