The 'lend' parameter of truncate_inode_pages_range is required to be
inclusive, so follow the rule.

This patch fixes one memory corruption triggered by discard.

Check for CAP_SYS_ADMIN before calling into the driver, similar to
blkdev_flushbuf().  This is safer and can spare a check in the driver.

(Currently BLKROSET is overridden by md and rbd, rbd is missing the
check.  md has the check, but it covers a lot more than BLKROSET.)

It is reasonable drop page cache on discard, otherwise that pages may
be written by writeback second later, so thin provision devices will
not be happy. This seems to be a  security leak in case of secure discard case.

Also add check for queue_discard flag on early stage.

<content type='text'>
Partitions that are not aligned to the blocksize of a device may cause
invalid I/O requests because the blocklayer cares only about alignment
within the partition when building requests on partitions.

device
|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|
partition offset 512byte
|-512-|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|

When reading/writing one 4k block of the partition this maps to
reading/writing with an offset of 512 byte of the device leading to
unaligned requests for the device which in turn may cause unexpected
behavior of the device driver.

For DASD devices we have to translate the block number into a cylinder,
head, record format. The unaligned requests lead to wrong calculation
and therefore to misdirected I/O. In a "good" case this leads to I/O
errors because the underlying hardware detects the wrong addressing.
In a worst case scenario this might destroy data on the device.

To prevent partitions that are not aligned to the physical blocksize
of a device check for the alignment in the blkpg_ioctl.

Adds the new BLKREPORTZONE and BLKRESETZONE ioctls for respectively
obtaining the zone configuration of a zoned block device and resetting
the write pointer of sequential zones of a zoned block device.

The BLKREPORTZONE ioctl maps directly to a single call of the function
blkdev_report_zones. The zone information result is passed as an array
of struct blk_zone identical to the structure used internally for
processing the REQ_OP_ZONE_REPORT operation.  The BLKRESETZONE ioctl
maps to a single call of the blkdev_reset_zones function.

<id>22dd6d356628bccb1a83e12212ec2934f4444e2c</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "fallocate for block devices", v11.

This is a patchset to fix page cache coherency with BLKZEROOUT and
implement fallocate for block devices.

The first patch is a fix to the existing BLKZEROOUT ioctl to invalidate
the page cache if the zeroing command to the underlying device succeeds.
Without this patch we still have the pagecache coherence bug that's been
in the kernel forever.

The second patch changes the internal block device functions to reject
attempts to discard or zeroout that are not aligned to the logical block
size.  Previously, we only checked that the start/len parameters were
512-byte aligned, which caused kernel BUG_ONs for unaligned IOs to 4k-LBA
devices.

The third patch creates an fallocate handler for block devices, wires up
the FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE flag to zeroing-discard, and connects
FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE to write-same so that we can have a consistent
fallocate interface between files and block devices.  It also allows the
combination of PUNCH_HOLE and NO_HIDE_STALE to invoke non-zeroing discard.

Test cases for the new block device fallocate are now in xfstests as
generic/349-351.

This patch (of 3):

Invalidate the page cache (as a regular O_DIRECT write would do) to avoid
returning stale cache contents at a later time.
