When a 9p tree was mounted with option 'posixacl', parent directory had a
default ACL set for its subdirectories, e.g.:

  setfacl -m default:group:simpsons:rwx parentdir

then creating a subdirectory crashed 9p client, as v9fs_fid_add() call in
function v9fs_vfs_mkdir_dotl() sets the passed 'fid' pointer to NULL
(since dafbe689736) even though the subsequent v9fs_set_create_acl() call
expects a valid non-NULL 'fid' pointer:

<title>Change inode_operations.mkdir to return struct dentry *</title>

<id>88d5baf69082e5b410296435008329676b687549</id>
<content type='text'>
Some filesystems, such as NFS, cifs, ceph, and fuse, do not have
complete control of sequencing on the actual filesystem (e.g.  on a
different server) and may find that the inode created for a mkdir
request already exists in the icache and dcache by the time the mkdir
request returns.  For example, if the filesystem is mounted twice the
directory could be visible on the other mount before it is on the
original mount, and a pair of name_to_handle_at(), open_by_handle_at()
calls could instantiate the directory inode with an IS_ROOT() dentry
before the first mkdir returns.

This means that the dentry passed to -&gt;mkdir() may not be the one that
is associated with the inode after the -&gt;mkdir() completes.  Some
callers need to interact with the inode after the -&gt;mkdir completes and
they currently need to perform a lookup in the (rare) case that the
dentry is no longer hashed.

This lookup-after-mkdir requires that the directory remains locked to
avoid races.  Planned future patches to lock the dentry rather than the
directory will mean that this lookup cannot be performed atomically with
the mkdir.

To remove this barrier, this patch changes -&gt;mkdir to return the
resulting dentry if it is different from the one passed in.
Possible returns are:
  NULL - the directory was created and no other dentry was used
  ERR_PTR() - an error occurred
  non-NULL - this other dentry was spliced in

This patch only changes file-systems to return "ERR_PTR(err)" instead of
"err" or equivalent transformations.  Subsequent patches will make
further changes to some file-systems to return a correct dentry.

Not all filesystems reliably result in a positive hashed dentry:

- NFS, cifs, hostfs will sometimes need to perform a lookup of
  the name to get inode information.  Races could result in this
  returning something different. Note that this lookup is
  non-atomic which is what we are trying to avoid.  Placing the
  lookup in filesystem code means it only happens when the filesystem
  has no other option.
- kernfs and tracefs leave the dentry negative and the -&gt;revalidate
  operation ensures that lookup will be called to correctly populate
  the dentry.  This could be fixed but I don't think it is important
  to any of the users of vfs_mkdir() which look at the dentry.

The recommendation to use
    d_drop();d_splice_alias()
is ugly but fits with current practice.  A planned future patch will
change this.

9p wants to be able to build a path from given dentry to fs root and keep
it valid over a blocking operation.

-&gt;s_vfs_rename_mutex would be a natural candidate, but there are places
where we need that and where we have no way to tell if -&gt;s_vfs_rename_mutex
is already held deeper in callchain.  Moreover, it's only held for
cross-directory renames; name changes within the same directory happen
without it.

Solution:
	* have d_move() done in -&gt;rename() rather than in its caller
	* maintain a 9p-private rwsem (per-filesystem)
	* hold it exclusive over the relevant part of -&gt;rename()
	* hold it shared over the places where we want the path.

That almost works.  FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE is enough to put all d_move()
and d_exchange() calls under filesystem's control.  However, there's
also __d_unalias(), which isn't covered by any of that.

If -&gt;lookup() hits a directory inode with preexisting dentry elsewhere
(due to e.g. rename done on server behind our back), d_splice_alias()
called by -&gt;lookup() will move/rename that alias.

Add a couple of optional methods, so that __d_unalias() would do
	if alias-&gt;d_op-&gt;d_unalias_trylock != NULL
		if (!alias-&gt;d_op-&gt;d_unalias_trylock(alias))
			fail (resulting in -ESTALE from lookup)
	__d_move(...)
	if alias-&gt;d_op-&gt;d_unalias_unlock != NULL
		alias-&gt;d_unalias_unlock(alias)
where it currently does __d_move().  9p instances do down_write_trylock()
and up_write() of -&gt;rename_mutex.

		if (!alias-&gt;d_op-&gt;d_unalias_trylock(alias))
			fail (resulting in -ESTALE from lookup)
	__d_move(...)
	if alias-&gt;d_op-&gt;d_unalias_unlock != NULL
		alias-&gt;d_unalias_unlock(alias)
where it currently does __d_move().  9p instances do down_write_trylock()
and up_write() of -&gt;rename_mutex.

<title>Pass parent directory inode and expected name to -&gt;d_revalidate()</title>

-&gt;d_revalidate() often needs to access dentry parent and name; that has
to be done carefully, since the locking environment varies from caller
to caller.  We are not guaranteed that dentry in question will not be
moved right under us - not unless the filesystem is such that nothing
on it ever gets renamed.

It can be dealt with, but that results in boilerplate code that isn't
even needed - the callers normally have just found the dentry via dcache
lookup and want to verify that it's in the right place; they already
have the values of -&gt;d_parent and -&gt;d_name stable.  There is a couple
of exceptions (overlayfs and, to less extent, ecryptfs), but for the
majority of calls that song and dance is not needed at all.

It's easier to make ecryptfs and overlayfs find and pass those values if
there's a -&gt;d_revalidate() instance to be called, rather than doing that
in the instances.

This commit only changes the calling conventions; making use of supplied
values is left to followups.

NOTE: some instances need more than just the parent - things like CIFS
may need to build an entire path from filesystem root, so they need
more precautions than the usual boilerplate.  This series doesn't
do anything to that need - these filesystems have to keep their locking
mechanisms (rename_lock loops, use of dentry_path_raw(), private rwsem
a-la v9fs).

One thing to keep in mind when using name is that name-&gt;name will normally
point into the pathname being resolved; the filename in question occupies
name-&gt;len bytes starting at name-&gt;name, and there is NUL somewhere after it,
but it the next byte might very well be '/' rather than '\0'.  Do not
ignore name-&gt;len.

<title>netfs: Change the read result collector to only use one work item</title>

<id>e2d46f2ec332533816417b60933954173f602121</id>
<content type='text'>
Change the way netfslib collects read results to do all the collection for
a particular read request using a single work item that walks along the
subrequest queue as subrequests make progress or complete, unlocking folios
progressively rather than doing the unlock in parallel as parallel requests
come in.

The code is remodelled to be more like the write-side code, though only
using a single stream.  This makes it more directly comparable and thus
easier to duplicate fixes between the two sides.

This has a number of advantages:

 (1) It's simpler.  There doesn't need to be a complex donation mechanism
     to handle mismatches between the size and alignment of subrequests and
     folios.  The collector unlocks folios as the subrequests covering each
     complete.

 (2) It should cause less scheduler overhead as there's a single work item
     in play unlocking pages in parallel when a read gets split up into a
     lot of subrequests instead of one per subrequest.

     Whilst the parallellism is nice in theory, in practice, the vast
     majority of loads are sequential reads of the whole file, so
     committing a bunch of threads to unlocking folios out of order doesn't
     help in those cases.

 (3) It should make it easier to implement content decryption.  A folio
     cannot be decrypted until all the requests that contribute to it have
     completed - and, again, most loads are sequential and so, most of the
     time, we want to begin decryption sequentially (though it's great if
     the decryption can happen in parallel).

There is a disadvantage in that we're losing the ability to decrypt and
unlock things on an as-things-arrive basis which may affect some
applications.

Drop the was_async argument from netfs_read_subreq_terminated().  Almost
every caller is either in process context and passes false.  Some
filesystems delegate the call to a workqueue to avoid doing the work in
their network message queue parsing thread.

The only exception is netfs_cache_read_terminated() which handles
completion in the cache - which is usually a callback from the backing
filesystem in softirq context, though it can be from process context if an
error occurred.  In this case, delegate to a workqueue.

<title>netfs: Work around recursion by abandoning retry if nothing read</title>

<id>4acb665cf4f3e5436844f17ece0a8a55ce688c7b</id>
<content type='text'>
syzkaller reported recursion with a loop of three calls (netfs_rreq_assess,
netfs_retry_reads and netfs_rreq_terminated) hitting the limit of the stack
during an unbuffered or direct I/O read.

There are a number of issues:

 (1) There is no limit on the number of retries.

 (2) A subrequest is supposed to be abandoned if it does not transfer
     anything (NETFS_SREQ_NO_PROGRESS), but that isn't checked under all
     circumstances.

 (3) The actual root cause, which is this:

	if (atomic_dec_and_test(&amp;rreq-&gt;nr_outstanding))
		netfs_rreq_terminated(rreq, ...);

     When we do a retry, we bump the rreq-&gt;nr_outstanding counter to
     prevent the final cleanup phase running before we've finished
     dispatching the retries.  The problem is if we hit 0, we have to do
     the cleanup phase - but we're in the cleanup phase and end up
     repeating the retry cycle, hence the recursion.

Work around the problem by limiting the number of retries.  This is based
on Lizhi Xu's patch[1], and makes the following changes:

 (1) Replace NETFS_SREQ_NO_PROGRESS with NETFS_SREQ_MADE_PROGRESS and make
     the filesystem set it if it managed to read or write at least one byte
     of data.  Clear this bit before issuing a subrequest.

 (2) Add a -&gt;retry_count member to the subrequest and increment it any time
     we do a retry.

 (3) Remove the NETFS_SREQ_RETRYING flag as it is superfluous with
     -&gt;retry_count.  If the latter is non-zero, we're doing a retry.

 (4) Abandon a subrequest if retry_count is non-zero and we made no
     progress.

 (5) Use -&gt;retry_count in both the write-side and the read-size.

[?] Question: Should I set a hard limit on retry_count in both read and
    write?  Say it hits 50, we always abandon it.  The problem is that
    these changes only mitigate the issue.  As long as it made at least one
    byte of progress, the recursion is still an issue.  This patch
    mitigates the problem, but does not fix the underlying cause.  I have
    patches that will do that, but it's an intrusive fix that's currently
    pending for the next merge window.

The oops generated by KASAN looks something like:

on Lizhi Xu's patch[1], and makes the following changes:

 (1) Replace NETFS_SREQ_NO_PROGRESS with NETFS_SREQ_MADE_PROGRESS and make
     the filesystem set it if it managed to read or write at least one byte
     of data.  Clear this bit before issuing a subrequest.

 (2) Add a -&gt;retry_count member to the subrequest and increment it any time
     we do a retry.

 (3) Remove the NETFS_SREQ_RETRYING flag as it is superfluous with
     -&gt;retry_count.  If the latter is non-zero, we're doing a retry.

 (4) Abandon a subrequest if retry_count is non-zero and we made no
     progress.

 (5) Use -&gt;retry_count in both the write-side and the read-size.

[?] Question: Should I set a hard limit on retry_count in both read and
    write?  Say it hits 50, we always abandon it.  The problem is that
    these changes only mitigate the issue.  As long as it made at least one
    byte of progress, the recursion is still an issue.  This patch
    mitigates the problem, but does not fix the underlying cause.  I have
    patches that will do that, but it's an intrusive fix that's currently
    pending for the next merge window.
