In the dio write path, we only take shared inode lock for the case of
aligned overwriting initialized blocks inside EOF. But for overwriting
preallocated blocks, it may only need to split unwritten extents, this
procedure has been protected under i_data_sem lock, it's safe to
release the exclusive inode lock and take shared inode lock.

This could give a significant speed up for multi-threaded writes. Test
on Intel Xeon Gold 6140 and nvme SSD with below fio parameters.

 direct=1
 ioengine=libaio
 iodepth=10
 numjobs=10
 runtime=60
 rw=randwrite
 size=100G

And the test result are:
Before:
 bs=4k       IOPS=11.1k, BW=43.2MiB/s
 bs=16k      IOPS=11.1k, BW=173MiB/s
 bs=64k      IOPS=11.2k, BW=697MiB/s

After:
 bs=4k       IOPS=41.4k, BW=162MiB/s
 bs=16k      IOPS=41.3k, BW=646MiB/s
 bs=64k      IOPS=13.5k, BW=843MiB/s

<title>fs: rename current get acl method</title>
<updated>2022-10-20T08:13:27+00:00</updated>

<id>cac2f8b8d8b50ef32b3e34f6dcbbf08937e4f616</id>
<content type='text'>
The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic
xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to
interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to
userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to
understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of
making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are
building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode
operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths
easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1].

The current inode operation for getting posix acls takes an inode
argument but various filesystems (e.g., 9p, cifs, overlayfs) need access
to the dentry. In contrast to the -&gt;set_acl() inode operation we cannot
simply extend -&gt;get_acl() to take a dentry argument. The -&gt;get_acl()
inode operation is called from:

acl_permission_check()
-&gt; check_acl()
   -&gt; get_acl()

which is part of generic_permission() which in turn is part of
inode_permission(). Both generic_permission() and inode_permission() are
called in the -&gt;permission() handler of various filesystems (e.g.,
overlayfs). So simply passing a dentry argument to -&gt;get_acl() would
amount to also having to pass a dentry argument to -&gt;permission(). We
should avoid this unnecessary change.

So instead of extending the existing inode operation rename it from
-&gt;get_acl() to -&gt;get_inode_acl() and add a -&gt;get_acl() method later that
passes a dentry argument and which filesystems that need access to the
dentry can implement instead of -&gt;get_inode_acl(). Filesystems like cifs
which allow setting and getting posix acls but not using them for
permission checking during lookup can simply not implement
-&gt;get_inode_acl().

This is intended to be a non-functional change.

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "The first two changes involve files outside of fs/ext4:

   - submit_bh() can never return an error, so change it to return void,
     and remove the unused checks from its callers

   - fix I_DIRTY_TIME handling so it will be set even if the inode
     already has I_DIRTY_INODE

  Performance:

   - Always enable i_version counter (as btrfs and xfs already do).
     Remove some uneeded i_version bumps to avoid unnecessary nfs cache
     invalidations

   - Wake up journal waiters in FIFO order, to avoid some journal users
     from not getting a journal handle for an unfairly long time

   - In ext4_write_begin() allocate any necessary buffer heads before
     starting the journal handle

   - Don't try to prefetch the block allocation bitmaps for a read-only
     file system

  Bug Fixes:

   - Fix a number of fast commit bugs, including resources leaks and out
     of bound references in various error handling paths and/or if the
     fast commit log is corrupted

   - Avoid stopping the online resize early when expanding a file system
     which is less than 16TiB to a size greater than 16TiB

   - Fix apparent metadata corruption caused by a race with a metadata
     buffer head getting migrated while it was trying to be read

   - Mark the lazy initialization thread freezable to prevent suspend
     failures

   - Other miscellaneous bug fixes

  Cleanups:

   - Break up the incredibly long ext4_full_super() function by
     refactoring to move code into more understandable, smaller
     functions

   - Remove the deprecated (and ignored) noacl and nouser_attr mount
     option

When inode is created and written to using direct IO, there is nothing
to clear the EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag. Thus when inode gets
truncated later to say 1 byte and written using normal write, we will
try to store the data as inline data. This confuses the code later
because the inode now has both normal block and inline data allocated
and the confusion manifests for example as:

<title>fscrypt: change fscrypt_dio_supported() to prepare for STATX_DIOALIGN</title>

<id>53dd3f802a6e269868cb599609287a841e65a996</id>
<content type='text'>
To prepare for STATX_DIOALIGN support, make two changes to
fscrypt_dio_supported().

First, remove the filesystem-block-alignment check and make the
filesystems handle it instead.  It previously made sense to have it in
fs/crypto/; however, to support STATX_DIOALIGN the alignment restriction
would have to be returned to filesystems.  It ends up being simpler if
filesystems handle this part themselves, especially for f2fs which only
allows fs-block-aligned DIO in the first place.

Second, make fscrypt_dio_supported() work on inodes whose encryption key
hasn't been set up yet, by making it set up the key if needed.  This is
required for statx(), since statx() doesn't require a file descriptor.

Allow the file system to keep state for all iterations.  For now only
wire it up for direct I/O as there is an immediate need for it there.

We can extract both the file pointer and the pos from the iocb.
This simplifies each caller as well as allowing generic_perform_write()
to see more of the iocb contents in the future.
