commit 708fa01597fa002599756bf56a96d0de1677375c upstream.

Commit 146d62e5a586 ("ovl: detect overlapping layers") made sure we don't
have overlapping layers, but it also broke the arguably valid use case of

 mount -olowerdir=/,upperdir=/subdir,..

where upperdir overlaps lowerdir on the same filesystem.  This has been
causing regressions.

Revert the check, but only for the specific case where upperdir and/or
workdir are subdirectories of lowerdir.  Any other overlap (e.g. lowerdir
is subdirectory of upperdir, etc) case is crazy, so leave the check in
place for those.

Overlaps are detected at lookup time too, so reverting the mount time check
should be safe.

commit eaab1d45cdb4bb0c846bd23c3d666d5b90af7b41 upstream.

Since commit 6815f479ca90 ("ovl: use only uppermetacopy state in
ovl_lookup()"), overlayfs doesn't put temporary dentry when there is a
metacopy error, which leads to dentry leaks when shutting down the related
superblock:

mmap_region() now calls fput() on the vma-&gt;vm_file.

Fix this by using vma_set_file() so it doesn't need to be handled

mmap_region() now calls fput() on the vma-&gt;vm_file.

So we need to drop the extra reference on the coda file instead of the
host file.

<title>readdir: make sure to verify directory entry for legacy interfaces too</title>

<id>0c93ac69407d63a85be0129aa55ffaec27ffebd3</id>
<content type='text'>
This does the directory entry name verification for the legacy
"fillonedir" (and compat) interface that goes all the way back to the
dark ages before we had a proper dirent, and the readdir() system call
returned just a single entry at a time.

Nobody should use this interface unless you still have binaries from
1991, but let's do it right.

This came up during discussions about unsafe_copy_to_user() and proper
checking of all the inputs to it, as the networking layer is looking to
use it in a few new places.  So let's make sure the _old_ users do it
all right and proper, before we add new ones.

See also commit 8a23eb804ca4 ("Make filldir[64]() verify the directory
entry filename is valid") which did the proper modern interfaces that
people actually use. It had a note:

    Note that I didn't bother adding the checks to any legacy interfaces
    that nobody uses.

which this now corrects.  Note that we really don't care about POSIX and
the presense of '/' in a directory entry, but verify_dirent_name() also
ends up doing the proper name length verification which is what the
input checking discussion was about.

[ Another option would be to remove the support for this particular very
  old interface: any binaries that use it are likely a.out binaries, and
  they will no longer run anyway since we removed a.out binftm support
  in commit eac616557050 ("x86: Deprecate a.out support").

  But I'm not sure which came first: getdents() or ELF support, so let's
  pretend somebody might still have a working binary that uses the
  legacy readdir() case.. ]

It happens when sqpoll forgot to run park_task_work and goes to exit,
then exiting user may remove ctx from sqd_list, and so corresponding
io_sq_thread() -&gt; io_uring_cancel_sqpoll() won't be executed. Hopefully
it just stucks in do_exit() in this case.

It happens when sqpoll forgot to run park_task_work and goes to exit,
then exiting user may remove ctx from sqd_list, and so corresponding
io_sq_thread() -&gt; io_uring_cancel_sqpoll() won't be executed. Hopefully
it just stucks in do_exit() in this case.

Pull btrfs fix from David Sterba:
 "One more patch that we'd like to get to 5.12 before release.

  It's changing where and how the superblock is stored in the zoned
  mode. It is an on-disk format change but so far there are no
  implications for users as the proper mkfs support hasn't been merged
  and is waiting for the kernel side to settle.

  Until now, the superblocks were derived from the zone index, but zone
  size can differ per device. This is changed to be based on fixed
  offset values, to make it independent of the device zone size.

  The work on that got a bit delayed, we discussed the exact locations
  to support potential device sizes and usecases. (Partially delayed
  also due to my vacation.) Having that in the same release where the
  zoned mode is declared usable is highly desired, there are userspace
  projects that need to be updated to recognize the feature. Pushing
  that to the next release would make things harder to test"

Moves the location of the superblock logging zones. The new locations of
the logging zones are now determined based on fixed block addresses
instead of on fixed zone numbers.

The old placement method based on fixed zone numbers causes problems when
one needs to inspect a file system image without access to the drive zone
information. In such case, the super block locations cannot be reliably
determined as the zone size is unknown. By locating the superblock logging
zones using fixed addresses, we can scan a dumped file system image without
the zone information since a super block copy will always be present at or
after the fixed known locations.

Introduce the following three pairs of zones containing fixed offset
locations, regardless of the device zone size.

  - primary superblock: offset   0B (and the following zone)
  - first copy:         offset 512G (and the following zone)
  - Second copy:        offset   4T (4096G, and the following zone)

If a logging zone is outside of the disk capacity, we do not record the
superblock copy.

The first copy position is much larger than for a non-zoned filesystem,
which is at 64M.  This is to avoid overlapping with the log zones for
the primary superblock. This higher location is arbitrary but allows
supporting devices with very large zone sizes, plus some space around in
between.

Such large zone size is unrealistic and very unlikely to ever be seen in
real devices. Currently, SMR disks have a zone size of 256MB, and we are
expecting ZNS drives to be in the 1-4GB range, so this limit gives us
room to breathe. For now, we only allow zone sizes up to 8GB. The
maximum zone size that would still fit in the space is 256G.

The fixed location addresses are somewhat arbitrary, with the intent of
maintaining superblock reliability for smaller and larger devices, with
the preference for the latter. For this reason, there are two superblocks
under the first 1T. This should cover use cases for physical devices and
for emulated/device-mapper devices.

The superblock logging zones are reserved for superblock logging and
never used for data or metadata blocks. Note that we only reserve the
two zones per primary/copy actually used for superblock logging. We do
not reserve the ranges of zones possibly containing superblocks with the
largest supported zone size (0-16GB, 512G-528GB, 4096G-4112G).

The zones containing the fixed location offsets used to store
superblocks on a non-zoned volume are also reserved to avoid confusion.
