The function move_dirty_folio_in_page_array() was created by commit
ce80b76dd327 ("ceph: introduce ceph_process_folio_batch() method") by
moving code from ceph_writepages_start() to this function.

This new function is supposed to return an error code which is checked
by the caller (now ceph_process_folio_batch()), and on error, the
caller invokes redirty_page_for_writepage() and then breaks from the
loop.

However, the refactoring commit has gone wrong, and it by accident, it
always returns 0 (= success) because it first NULLs the pointer and
then returns PTR_ERR(NULL) which is always 0.  This means errors are
silently ignored, leaving NULL entries in the page array, which may
later crash the kernel.

The simple solution is to call PTR_ERR() before clearing the pointer.

<title>ceph: always call ceph_shift_unused_folios_left()</title>

<content type='text'>
The function ceph_process_folio_batch() sets folio_batch entries to
NULL, which is an illegal state.  Before folio_batch_release() crashes
due to this API violation, the function ceph_shift_unused_folios_left()
is supposed to remove those NULLs from the array.

However, since commit ce80b76dd327 ("ceph: introduce
ceph_process_folio_batch() method"), this shifting doesn't happen
anymore because the "for" loop got moved to ceph_process_folio_batch(),
and now the `i` variable that remains in ceph_writepages_start()
doesn't get incremented anymore, making the shifting effectively
unreachable much of the time.

Later, commit 1551ec61dc55 ("ceph: introduce ceph_submit_write()
method") added more preconditions for doing the shift, replacing the
`i` check (with something that is still just as broken):

- if ceph_process_folio_batch() fails, shifting never happens

- if ceph_move_dirty_page_in_page_array() was never called (because
  ceph_process_folio_batch() has returned early for some of various
  reasons), shifting never happens

- if `processed_in_fbatch` is zero (because ceph_process_folio_batch()
  has returned early for some of the reasons mentioned above or
  because ceph_move_dirty_page_in_page_array() has failed), shifting
  never happens

Since those two commits, any problem in ceph_process_folio_batch()
could crash the kernel, e.g. this way:

(Interestingly, the crash happens only if `huge_zero_folio` has
already been allocated; without `huge_zero_folio`,
is_huge_zero_folio(NULL) returns true and folios_put_refs() skips NULL
entries instead of dereferencing them.  That makes reproducing the bug
somewhat unreliable.  See
https://lore.kernel.org/20250826231626.218675-1-max.kellermann@ionos.com
for a discussion of this detail.)

My suggestion is to move the ceph_shift_unused_folios_left() to right
after ceph_process_folio_batch() to ensure it always gets called to
fix up the illegal folio_batch state.

 "Last cycle we introduce f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare() in c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm:
  introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback").

  This is preferred to the existing f_op-&gt;mmap() hook as it does require
  a VMA to be established yet, thus allowing the mmap logic to invoke
  this hook far, far earlier, prior to inserting a VMA into the virtual
  address space, or performing any other heavy handed operations.

  This allows for much simpler unwinding on error, and for there to be a
  single attempt at merging a VMA rather than having to possibly
  reattempt a merge based on potentially altered VMA state.

  Far more importantly, it prevents inappropriate manipulation of
  incompletely initialised VMA state, which is something that has been
  the cause of bugs and complexity in the past.

  The intent is to gradually deprecate f_op-&gt;mmap, and in that vein this
  series coverts the majority of file systems to using f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare.

  Prerequisite steps are taken - firstly ensuring all checks for mmap
  capabilities use the file_has_valid_mmap_hooks() helper rather than
  directly checking for f_op-&gt;mmap (which is now not a valid check) and
  secondly updating daxdev_mapping_supported() to not require a VMA
  parameter to allow ext4 and xfs to be converted.

  Commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for
  nested file systems") handles the nasty edge-case of nested file
  systems like overlayfs, which introduces a compatibility shim to allow
  f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare() to be invoked from an f_op-&gt;mmap() callback.

  This allows for nested filesystems to continue to function correctly
  with all file systems regardless of which callback is used. Once we
  finally convert all file systems, this shim can be removed.

  As a result, ecryptfs, fuse, and overlayfs remain unaltered so they
  can nest all other file systems.

  We additionally do not update resctl - as this requires an update to
  remap_pfn_range() (or an alternative to it) which we defer to a later
  series, equally we do not update cramfs which needs a mixed mapping
  insertion with the same issue, nor do we update procfs, hugetlbfs,
  syfs or kernfs all of which require VMAs for internal state and hooks.

<id>2e3b37a7e48f8a52fb708cdbeec9d8af0a5af0c1</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file
callback"), the f_op-&gt;mmap() hook has been deprecated in favour of
f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare().

This callback is invoked in the mmap() logic far earlier, so error handling
can be performed more safely without complicated and bug-prone state
unwinding required should an error arise.

This hook also avoids passing a pointer to a not-yet-correctly-established
VMA avoiding any issues with referencing this data structure.

It rather provides a pointer to the new struct vm_area_desc descriptor type
which contains all required state and allows easy setting of required
parameters without any consideration needing to be paid to locking or
reference counts.

Note that nested filesystems like overlayfs are compatible with an
.mmap_prepare() callback since commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare()
compatibility layer for nested file systems").

In this patch we apply this change to file systems with relatively simple
mmap() hook logic - exfat, ceph, f2fs, bcachefs, zonefs, btrfs, ocfs2,

Since commit c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file
callback"), the f_op-&gt;mmap() hook has been deprecated in favour of
f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare().

This callback is invoked in the mmap() logic far earlier, so error handling
can be performed more safely without complicated and bug-prone state
unwinding required should an error arise.

This hook also avoids passing a pointer to a not-yet-correctly-established
VMA avoiding any issues with referencing this data structure.

It rather provides a pointer to the new struct vm_area_desc descriptor type
which contains all required state and allows easy setting of required
parameters without any consideration needing to be paid to locking or
reference counts.

Note that nested filesystems like overlayfs are compatible with an
.mmap_prepare() callback since commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare()
compatibility layer for nested file systems").

In this patch we apply this change to file systems with relatively simple
mmap() hook logic - exfat, ceph, f2fs, bcachefs, zonefs, btrfs, ocfs2,
orangefs, nilfs2, romfs, ramfs and aio.

Pull ceph updates from Ilya Dryomov:

 - a one-liner that leads to a startling (but also very much rational)
   performance improvement in cases where an IMA policy with rules that
   are based on fsmagic matching is enforced

 - an encryption-related fixup that addresses generic/397 and other
   fstest failures

 - a couple of cleanups in CephFS

(gdb) l *ceph_msg_data_cursor_init+0x42
0xffffffff823b45a2 is in ceph_msg_data_cursor_init (net/ceph/messenger.c:1070).
1065
1066 void ceph_msg_data_cursor_init(struct ceph_msg_data_cursor *cursor,
1067                                struct ceph_msg *msg, size_t length)
1068 {
1069        BUG_ON(!length);

1072
1073        cursor-&gt;total_resid = length;
1074        cursor-&gt;data = msg-&gt;data;

The issue takes place because of this:

[ 202.628853] libceph: net/ceph/messenger_v2.c:2034 prepare_sparse_read_data(): msg-&gt;data_length 33792, msg-&gt;sparse_read_total 36864

1070        BUG_ON(length &gt; msg-&gt;data_length);

The generic/397 test (xfstests) executes such steps:
(1) create encrypted files and directories;
(2) access the created files and folders with encryption key;
(3) access the created files and folders without encryption key.

The issue takes place in this portion of code:

    if (IS_ENCRYPTED(inode)) {
            struct page **pages;
            size_t page_off;

            err = iov_iter_get_pages_alloc2(&amp;subreq-&gt;io_iter, &amp;pages, len,
                                            &amp;page_off);
            if (err &lt; 0) {
                    doutc(cl, "%llx.%llx failed to allocate pages, %d\n",
                          ceph_vinop(inode), err);
                    goto out;
            }

            /* should always give us a page-aligned read */
            WARN_ON_ONCE(page_off);
            len = err;
            err = 0;

            osd_req_op_extent_osd_data_pages(req, 0, pages, len, 0, false,
                                             false);

The reason of the issue is that subreq-&gt;io_iter.count keeps unaligned
value of length:

[  347.751182] lib/iov_iter.c:1185 __iov_iter_get_pages_alloc(): maxsize 36864, maxpages 4294967295, start 18446659367320516064
[  347.752808] lib/iov_iter.c:1196 __iov_iter_get_pages_alloc(): maxsize 33792, maxpages 4294967295, start 18446659367320516064
[  347.754394] lib/iov_iter.c:1015 iter_folioq_get_pages(): maxsize 33792, maxpages 4294967295, extracted 0, _start_offset 18446659367320516064

This patch simply assigns the aligned value to subreq-&gt;io_iter.count
before calling iov_iter_get_pages_alloc2().

[ idryomov: tag the comment with FIXME to make it clear that it's only
            a workaround for netfslib not coexisting with fscrypt nicely
            (this is also noted in another pre-existing comment) ]

(gdb) l *ceph_msg_data_cursor_init+0x42
0xffffffff823b45a2 is in ceph_msg_data_cursor_init (net/ceph/messenger.c:1070).
1065
1066 void ceph_msg_data_cursor_init(struct ceph_msg_data_cursor *cursor,
1067                                struct ceph_msg *msg, size_t length)
1068 {
1069        BUG_ON(!length);
1070        BUG_ON(length &gt; msg-&gt;data_length);
1071        BUG_ON(!msg-&gt;num_data_items);
1072
1073        cursor-&gt;total_resid = length;
1074        cursor-&gt;data = msg-&gt;data;

The issue takes place because of this:

[ 202.628853] libceph: net/ceph/messenger_v2.c:2034 prepare_sparse_read_data(): msg-&gt;data_length 33792, msg-&gt;sparse_read_total 36864

1070        BUG_ON(length &gt; msg-&gt;data_length);

The generic/397 test (xfstests) executes such steps:
(1) create encrypted files and directories;
(2) access the created files and folders with encryption key;
(3) access the created files and folders without encryption key.

The issue takes place in this portion of code:

    if (IS_ENCRYPTED(inode)) {
            struct page **pages;
            size_t page_off;

            err = iov_iter_get_pages_alloc2(&amp;subreq-&gt;io_iter, &amp;pages, len,
                                            &amp;page_off);
            if (err &lt; 0) {
                    doutc(cl, "%llx.%llx failed to allocate pages, %d\n",
                          ceph_vinop(inode), err);
                    goto out;
            }

            /* should always give us a page-aligned read */
            WARN_ON_ONCE(page_off);
            len = err;
            err = 0;

            osd_req_op_extent_osd_data_pages(req, 0, pages, len, 0, false,
                                             false);

The reason of the issue is that subreq-&gt;io_iter.count keeps unaligned
value of length:

[  347.751182] lib/iov_iter.c:1185 __iov_iter_get_pages_alloc(): maxsize 36864, maxpages 4294967295, start 18446659367320516064
[  347.752808] lib/iov_iter.c:1196 __iov_iter_get_pages_alloc(): maxsize 33792, maxpages 4294967295, start 18446659367320516064
[  347.754394] lib/iov_iter.c:1015 iter_folioq_get_pages(): maxsize 33792, maxpages 4294967295, extracted 0, _start_offset 18446659367320516064

This patch simply assigns the aligned value to subreq-&gt;io_iter.count
before calling iov_iter_get_pages_alloc2().

[ idryomov: tag the comment with FIXME to make it clear that it's only
            a workaround for netfslib not coexisting with fscrypt nicely
            (this is also noted in another pre-existing comment) ]

<title>netfs: Fix undifferentiation of DIO reads from unbuffered reads</title>

<content type='text'>
On cifs, "DIO reads" (specified by O_DIRECT) need to be differentiated from
"unbuffered reads" (specified by cache=none in the mount parameters).  The
difference is flagged in the protocol and the server may behave
differently: Windows Server will, for example, mandate that DIO reads are
block aligned.

Fix this by adding a NETFS_UNBUFFERED_READ to differentiate this from
NETFS_DIO_READ, parallelling the write differentiation that already exists.
cifs will then do the right thing.

<title>netfs: Fix the request's work item to not require a ref</title>
<updated>2025-05-21T12:35:20+00:00</updated>

<id>20d72b00ca814d748f5663484e5c53bb2bf37a3a</id>
<content type='text'>
When the netfs_io_request struct's work item is queued, it must be supplied
with a ref to the work item struct to prevent it being deallocated whilst
on the queue or whilst it is being processed.  This is tricky to manage as
we have to get a ref before we try and queue it and then we may find it's
already queued and is thus already holding a ref - in which case we have to
try and get rid of the ref again.

The problem comes if we're in BH or IRQ context and need to drop the ref:
if netfs_put_request() reduces the count to 0, we have to do the cleanup -
but the cleanup may need to wait.

Fix this by adding a new work item to the request, -&gt;cleanup_work, and
dispatching that when the refcount hits zero.  That can then synchronously
cancel any outstanding work on the main work item before doing the cleanup.

Adding a new work item also deals with another problem upstream where it's
sometimes changing the work func in the put function and requeuing it -
which has occasionally in the past caused the cleanup to happen
incorrectly.

As a bonus, this allows us to get rid of the 'was_async' parameter from a
bunch of functions.  This indicated whether the put function might not be
permitted to sleep.
