<content type='text'>
When converting an inline directory to a regular one, f2fs is leaking
uninitialized memory to disk because it doesn't initialize the entire
directory block.  Fix this by zero-initializing the block.

This bug was introduced by commit 4ec17d688d74 ("f2fs: avoid unneeded
initializing when converting inline dentry"), which didn't consider the
security implications of leaking uninitialized memory to disk.

This was found by running xfstest generic/435 on a KMSAN-enabled kernel.

After below changes:

commit 98dc08bae678 ("fsverity: stop using PG_error to track error status")

There is no place in f2fs we will set PG_error flag in page, let's remove
other PG_error usage in f2fs, as a step towards freeing the PG_error flag
for other uses.

This is simpler, and as a side effect it replaces several uses of
kmap_atomic() with its recommended replacement kmap_local_page().

Yanming reported a kernel bug in Bugzilla kernel [1], which can be
reproduced. The bug message is:

The kernel message is shown below:

kernel BUG at fs/inode.c:611!
Call Trace:
 evict+0x282/0x4e0
 __dentry_kill+0x2b2/0x4d0
 dput+0x2dd/0x720
 do_renameat2+0x596/0x970
 __x64_sys_rename+0x78/0x90
 do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90

[1] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215895

The bug is due to fuzzed inode has both inline_data and encrypted flags.
During f2fs_evict_inode(), as the inode was deleted by rename(), it
will cause inline data conversion due to conflicting flags. The page
cache will be polluted and the panic will be triggered in clear_inode().

Try fixing the bug by doing more sanity checks for inline data inode in
sanity_check_inode().

<title>f2fs: move f2fs to use reader-unfair rwsems</title>

f2fs rw_semaphores work better if writers can starve readers,
especially for the checkpoint thread, because writers are strictly
more important than reader threads. This prevents significant priority
inversion between low-priority readers that blocked while trying to
acquire the read lock and a second acquisition of the write lock that
might be blocking high priority work.

<title>f2fs: do not bother checkpoint by f2fs_get_node_info</title>

This patch tries to mitigate lock contention between f2fs_write_checkpoint and
f2fs_get_node_info along with nat_tree_lock.

The idea is, if checkpoint is currently running, other threads that try to grab
nat_tree_lock would be better to wait for checkpoint.

<title>f2fs: support fault injection for dquot_initialize()</title>

This patch adds a new function f2fs_dquot_initialize() to wrap
dquot_initialize(), and it supports to inject fault into
f2fs_dquot_initialize() to simulate inner failure occurs in
dquot_initialize().

Usage:
a) echo 65536 &gt; /sys/fs/f2fs/&lt;dev&gt;/inject_type or
b) mount -o fault_type=65536 &lt;dev&gt; &lt;mountpoint&gt;
