<content type='text'>
The new directory offset helpers don't conform with the convention
of getdents() returning no more entries once a directory file
descriptor has reached the current end-of-directory.

To address this, copy the logic from dcache_readdir() to mark the
open directory file descriptor once EOD has been reached. Seeking
resets the mark.

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"

Many of the filesystems that call the generic exportfs helpers do not
select the EXPORTFS config.

Move generic_encode_ino32_fh() to libfs.c, same as generic_fh_to_*()
to avoid having to fix all those config dependencies.

<title>fs: report f_fsid from s_dev for "simple" filesystems</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ae62bcb5e7e5a1ab6f85518949f3f759c6e9a8e0</id>
<content type='text'>
There are many "simple" filesystems (*) that report null f_fsid in
statfs(2).  Those "simple" filesystems report sb-&gt;s_dev as the st_dev
field of the stat syscalls for all inodes of the filesystem (**).

In order to enable fanotify reporting of events with fsid on those
"simple" filesystems, report the sb-&gt;s_dev number in f_fsid field of
statfs(2).

(*) For most of the "simple" filesystem refered to in this commit, the
-&gt;statfs() operation is simple_statfs(). Some of those fs assign the
simple_statfs() method directly in their -&gt;s_op struct and some assign it
indirectly via a call to simple_fill_super() or to pseudo_fs_fill_super()
with either custom or "simple" s_op.
We also make the same change to efivarfs and hugetlbfs, although they do
not use simple_statfs(), because they use the simple_* inode opreations
(e.g. simple_lookup()).

(**) For most of the "simple" filesystems, the -&gt;getattr() method is not
assigned, so stat() is implemented by generic_fillattr().  A few "simple"
filesystem use the simple_getattr() method which also calls
generic_fillattr() to fill most of the stat struct.

The two exceptions are procfs and 9p. procfs implements several different
-&gt;getattr() methods, but they all end up calling generic_fillattr() to
fill the st_dev field from sb-&gt;s_dev.

9p has more complicated -&gt;getattr() methods, but they too, end up calling
generic_fillattr() to fill the st_dev field from sb-&gt;s_dev.

Note that 9p and kernfs also call simple_statfs() from custom -&gt;statfs()
methods which already fill the f_fsid field, but v9fs_statfs() calls
simple_statfs() only in case f_fsid was not filled and kenrfs_statfs()
overwrites f_fsid after calling simple_statfs().

<content type='text'>
Recently, we converted the ctime accesses in the kernel to use new
accessor functions. Linus recently pointed out though that if we add
accessors for the atime and mtime, then that would allow us to
seamlessly change how these timestamps are stored in the inode.

Add new accessor functions for the atime and mtime that mirror the
accessors for the ctime.

<content type='text'>
If we fail filemap_write_and_wait_range() on the range the buffered write went
into, we only report the "number of bytes which we direct-written", to quote
the comment in there.  Which is fine, but buffered write has already advanced
iocb-&gt;ki_pos, so we need to roll that back.  Otherwise we end up with e.g.
write(2) advancing position by more than the amount it reports having written.

     command line option. This allows to timeout and reboot instead of
     always waiting indefinitely for the root device to show up

   - Use synchronous fput for the close system call

  Cleanups:

   - Get rid of open-coded lockdep workarounds for async io submitters
     and replace it all with a single consolidated helper

   - Simplify epoll allocation helper

   - Convert simple_write_begin and simple_write_end to use a folio

   - Convert page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm() to use a folio

   - Simplify __range_close to avoid pointless locking

   - Disable per-cpu buffer head cache for isolated cpus

   - Port ecryptfs to kmap_local_page() api

   - Remove redundant initialization of pointer buf in pipe code

   - Unexport the d_genocide() function which is only used within core
     vfs

   - Replace printk(KERN_ERR) and WARN_ON() with WARN()

  Fixes:

   - Fix various kernel-doc issues

   - Fix refcount underflow for eventfds when used as EFD_SEMAPHORE

   - Fix a mainly theoretical issue in devpts

Pull libfs and tmpfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This cycle saw a lot of work for tmpfs that required changes to the
  vfs layer. Andrew, Hugh, and I decided to take tmpfs through vfs this
  cycle. Things will go back to mm next cycle.

  Features
  ========

   - By far the biggest work is the quota support for tmpfs. New tmpfs
     quota infrastructure is added to support it and a new QFMT_SHMEM
     uapi option is exposed.

     This offers user and group quotas to tmpfs (project quotas will be
     added later). Similar to other filesystems tmpfs quota are not
     supported within user namespaces yet.

   - Add support for user xattrs. While tmpfs already supports security
     xattrs (security.*) and POSIX ACLs for a long time it lacked
     support for user xattrs (user.*). With this pull request tmpfs will
     be able to support a limited number of user xattrs.

     This is accompanied by a fix (see below) to limit persistent simple
     xattr allocations.

   - Add support for stable directory offsets. Currently tmpfs relies on
     the libfs provided cursor-based mechanism for readdir. This causes
     issues when a tmpfs filesystem is exported via NFS.

     NFS clients do not open directories. Instead, each server-side
     readdir operation opens the directory, reads it, and then closes
     it. Since the cursor state for that directory is associated with
     the opened file it is discarded after each readdir operation. Such
     directory offsets are not just cached by NFS clients but also
     various userspace libraries based on these clients.

     As it stands there is no way to invalidate the caches when
     directory offsets have changed and the whole application depends on
     unchanging directory offsets.

     At LSFMM we discussed how to solve this problem and decided to
     support stable directory offsets. libfs now allows filesystems like
     tmpfs to use an xarrary to map a directory offset to a dentry. This
     mechanism is currently only used by tmpfs but can be supported by
     others as well.

  Fixes
  =====

   - Change persistent simple xattrs allocations in libfs from
     GFP_KERNEL to GPF_KERNEL_ACCOUNT so they're subject to memory
     cgroup limits. Since this is a change to libfs it affects both
     tmpfs and kernfs.

   - Correctly verify {g,u}id mount options.

     A new filesystem context is created via fsopen() which records the
     namespace that becomes the owning namespace of the superblock when
     fsconfig(FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE) is called for filesystems that are
     mountable in namespaces. However, fsconfig() calls can occur in a
     namespace different from the namespace where fsopen() has been
     called.

     Currently, when fsconfig() is called to set {g,u}id mount options
     the requested {g,u}id is mapped into a k{g,u}id according to the
     namespace where fsconfig() was called from. The resulting k{g,u}id
     is not guaranteed to be resolvable in the namespace of the
     filesystem (the one that fsopen() was called in).

     This means it's possible for an unprivileged user to create files
     owned by any group in a tmpfs mount since it's possible to set the
     setid bits on the tmpfs directory.

     The contract for {g,u}id mount options and {g,u}id values in
     general set from userspace has always been that they are translated
     according to the caller's idmapping. In so far, tmpfs has been
     doing the correct thing. But since tmpfs is mountable in
     unprivileged contexts it is also necessary to verify that the
     resulting {k,g}uid is representable in the namespace of the
     superblock to avoid such bugs.

     The new mount api's cross-namespace delegation abilities are
     already widely used. Having talked to a bunch of userspace this is
     the most faithful solution with minimal regression risks"
