mm: teach mincore_hugetlb about pte markers

2023-03-08T01:04:53+00:00

By checking huge_pte_none(), we incorrectly classify PTE markers as
"present".  Instead, check huge_pte_none_mostly(), classifying PTE markers
the same as if the PTE were completely blank.

PTE markers, unlike other kinds of swap entries, don't reference any
physical page and don't indicate that a physical page was mapped
previously.  As such, treat them as non-present for the sake of mincore().

fs: port inode_owner_or_capable() to mnt_idmap

2023-01-19T08:24:29+00:00

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

mm: convert find_get_incore_page() to filemap_get_incore_folio()

2022-11-09T01:37:18+00:00

Return the containing folio instead of the precise page.  One of the
callers wants the folio and the other can do the folio->page conversion
itself.  Nets 442 bytes of text size reduction, 478 bytes removed and 36
bytes added.

mm/mincore.c: use vma_lookup() instead of find_vma()

2022-11-09T01:37:13+00:00

Using vma_lookup() verifies the start address is contained in the found
vma.  This results in easier to read the code.

mm: teach core mm about pte markers

2022-05-13T14:20:09+00:00

This patch still does not use pte marker in any way, however it teaches
the core mm about the pte marker idea.

For example, handle_pte_marker() is introduced that will parse and handle
all the pte marker faults.

Many of the places are more about commenting it up - so that we know
there's the possibility of pte marker showing up, and why we don't need
special code for the cases.

mm: create new mm/swap.h header file

2022-05-10T01:20:47+00:00

Patch series "MM changes to improve swap-over-NFS support".

Assorted improvements for swap-via-filesystem.

This is a resend of these patches, rebased on current HEAD.  The only
substantial changes is that swap_dirty_folio has replaced
swap_set_page_dirty.

Currently swap-via-fs (SWP_FS_OPS) doesn't work for any filesystem.  It
has previously worked for NFS but that broke a few releases back.  This
series changes to use a new ->swap_rw rather than ->readpage and
->direct_IO.  It also makes other improvements.

There is a companion series already in linux-next which fixes various
issues with NFS.  Once both series land, a final patch is needed which
changes NFS over to use ->swap_rw.


This patch (of 10):

Many functions declared in include/linux/swap.h are only used within mm/

Create a new "mm/swap.h" and move some of these declarations there.
Remove the redundant 'extern' from the function declarations.

inode: make init and permission helpers idmapped mount aware

2021-01-24T13:27:16+00:00

The inode_owner_or_capable() helper determines whether the caller is the
owner of the inode or is capable with respect to that inode. Allow it to
handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is accessed through an idmapped
mount it according to the mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks
are identical to non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user namespace is
passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical
behavior as before.

Similarly, allow the inode_init_owner() helper to handle idmapped
mounts. It initializes a new inode on idmapped mounts by mapping the
fsuid and fsgid of the caller from the mount's user namespace. If the
initial user namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts
will see identical behavior as before.

fs: add file and path permissions helpers

2021-01-24T13:27:16+00:00

Add two simple helpers to check permissions on a file and path
respectively and convert over some callers. It simplifies quite a few
codepaths and also reduces the churn in later patches quite a bit.
Christoph also correctly points out that this makes codepaths (e.g.
ioctls) way easier to follow that would otherwise have to do more
complex argument passing than necessary.

mm: factor find_get_incore_page out of mincore_page

2020-10-14T01:38:29+00:00

Patch series "Return head pages from find_*_entry", v2.

This patch series started out as part of the THP patch set, but it has
some nice effects along the way and it seems worth splitting it out and
submitting separately.

Currently find_get_entry() and find_lock_entry() return the page
corresponding to the requested index, but the first thing most callers do
is find the head page, which we just threw away.  As part of auditing all
the callers, I found some misuses of the APIs and some plain
inefficiencies that I've fixed.

The diffstat is unflattering, but I added more kernel-doc and a new wrapper.

This patch (of 8);

Provide this functionality from the swap cache.  It's useful for
more than just mincore().

mmap locking API: use coccinelle to convert mmap_sem rwsem call sites
