commit 6fe4e4b8259e1330945b5f3c9476e08473b8e0e8 upstream.

When a blk_crypto_key starts being used or is evicted, fs/crypto/ calls
fscrypt_get_devices() to get the filesystem's list of block devices,
then iterates over them and calls blk_crypto_config_supported(),
blk_crypto_start_using_key(), or blk_crypto_evict_key() on each one.

Currently, the block device pointers are placed in a dynamically
allocated array.  This dynamic allocation is problematic because:

- It can fail, especially at the fscrypt_destroy_inline_crypt_key() call
  site when it's invoked for inode eviction under direct reclaim.

- fscrypt_destroy_inline_crypt_key() doesn't handle the failure.  It
  just zeroizes and frees the blk_crypto_key without calling
  blk_crypto_evict_key().  That causes a use-after-free.

For now, let's fix this in the straightforward and easily-backportable
way by switching to an on-stack array.  Currently the fscrypt
multi-device functionality is used only by f2fs, which has a hardcoded
limit of 8 block devices.  An on-stack array works fine for that.

(Of course, this solution won't scale up to large number of block
devices.  For that we'd need a different solution, like moving the block
device iteration into the filesystem.  Or in the case of btrfs, which
will only support blk-crypto-fallback, we should make it just call
blk-crypto-fallback directly, so the block devices won't be needed.)

<title>fscrypt: new helper function - fscrypt_prepare_lookup_partial()</title>

<id>6f2656eab290f0dd437cd4b2ec956c3519172d3b</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces a new helper function which can be used both in
lookups and in atomic_open operations by filesystems that want to handle
filename encryption and no-key dentries themselves.

The reason for this function to be used in atomic open is that this
operation can act as a lookup if handed a dentry that is negative.  And in
this case we may need to set DCACHE_NOKEY_NAME.

Pull fsverity updates from Eric Biggers:
 "Fix the longstanding implementation limitation that fsverity was only
  supported when the Merkle tree block size, filesystem block size, and
  PAGE_SIZE were all equal.

  Specifically, add support for Merkle tree block sizes less than
  PAGE_SIZE, and make ext4 support fsverity on filesystems where the
  filesystem block size is less than PAGE_SIZE.

  Effectively, this means that fsverity can now be used on systems with
  non-4K pages, at least on ext4. These changes have been tested using
  the verity group of xfstests, newly updated to cover the new code
  paths.

  Also update fs/verity/ to support verifying data from large folios.

  There's also a similar patch for fs/crypto/, to support decrypting
  data from large folios, which I'm including in here to avoid a merge
  conflict between the fscrypt and fsverity branches"

Try to make the filesystem-level decryption functions in fs/crypto/
aware of large folios.  This includes making fscrypt_decrypt_bio()
support the case where the bio contains large folios, and making
fscrypt_decrypt_pagecache_blocks() take a folio instead of a page.

There's no way to actually test this with large folios yet, but I've
tested that this doesn't cause any regressions.

Note that this patch just handles *decryption*, not encryption which
will be a little more difficult.

Commit d7e7b9af104c ("fscrypt: stop using keyrings subsystem for
fscrypt_master_key") moved the keyring destruction from __put_super() to
generic_shutdown_super() so that the filesystem's block device(s) are
still available.  Unfortunately, this causes a memory leak in the case
where a mount is attempted with the test_dummy_encryption mount option,
but the mount fails after the option has already been processed.

To fix this, attempt the keyring destruction in both places.

Pull STATX_DIOALIGN support from Eric Biggers:
 "Make statx() support reporting direct I/O (DIO) alignment information.

  This provides a generic interface for userspace programs to determine
  whether a file supports DIO, and if so with what alignment
  restrictions. Specifically, STATX_DIOALIGN works on block devices, and
  on regular files when their containing filesystem has implemented
  support.

  An interface like this has been requested for years, since the
  conditions for when DIO is supported in Linux have gotten increasingly
  complex over time. Today, DIO support and alignment requirements can
  be affected by various filesystem features such as multi-device
  support, data journalling, inline data, encryption, verity,
  compression, checkpoint disabling, log-structured mode, etc.

  Further complicating things, Linux v6.0 relaxed the traditional rule
  of DIO needing to be aligned to the block device's logical block size;
  now user buffers (but not file offsets) only need to be aligned to the
  DMA alignment.

  The approach of uplifting the XFS specific ioctl XFS_IOC_DIOINFO was
  discarded in favor of creating a clean new interface with statx().

  For more information, see the individual commits and the man page
  update[1]"

<title>fscrypt: work on block_devices instead of request_queues</title>

request_queues are a block layer implementation detail that should not
leak into file systems.  Change the fscrypt inline crypto code to
retrieve block devices instead of request_queues from the file system.
As part of that, clean up the interaction with multi-device file systems
by returning both the number of devices and the actual device array in a
single method call.
