 "Added new ext4 debugging ioctls to allow userspace to get information

  e2fsck detects and fixes this issue for the past four years, it'e time
  to drop the workaround. (Also, it's not like files with dates in the
  distant past were all that common in the first place.)

Pull y2038 vfs updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "Add inode timestamp clamping.

  timestamp limit for a file system, and clamps timestamps as they are
  written, to avoid random behavior from integer overflow as well as
  having different time stamps on disk vs in memory.

  At mount time, a warning is now printed for any file system that can
  represent current timestamps but not future timestamps more than 30
  years into the future, similar to the arbitrary 30 year limit that was
  added to settimeofday().

  survive beyond 2038 (or similar limits in other file systems), but not

Pull fs-verity support from Eric Biggers:
 "fs-verity is a filesystem feature that provides Merkle tree based
  hashing (similar to dm-verity) for individual readonly files, mainly
  for the purpose of efficient authenticity verification.

  This pull request includes:

   (a) The fs/verity/ support layer and documentation.

   (b) fs-verity support for ext4 and f2fs.

  Compared to the original fs-verity patchset from last year, the UAPI
  to enable fs-verity on a file has been greatly simplified. Lots of
  other things were cleaned up too.

  fs-verity is planned to be used by two different projects on Android;
  most of the userspace code is in place already. Another userspace tool
  ("fsverity-utils"), and xfstests, are also available. e2fsprogs and
  f2fs-tools already have fs-verity support. Other people have shown
  interest in using fs-verity too.

  I've tested this on ext4 and f2fs with xfstests, both the existing
  tests and the new fs-verity tests. This has also been in linux-next
  since July 30 with no reported issues except a couple minor ones I
  found myself and folded in fixes for.

  Ted and I will be co-maintaining fs-verity"

<title>ext4: add fs-verity read support</title>

<id>22cfe4b48ccb5a3dbb92d6dcb88f396e0f400f74</id>
<content type='text'>
Make ext4_mpage_readpages() verify data as it is read from fs-verity
files, using the helper functions from fs/verity/.

To support both encryption and verity simultaneously, this required
refactoring the decryption workflow into a generic "post-read
processing" workflow which can do decryption, verification, or both.

The case where the ext4 block size is not equal to the PAGE_SIZE is not
supported yet, since in that case ext4_mpage_readpages() sometimes falls
back to block_read_full_page(), which does not support fs-verity yet.

Make ext4_mpage_readpages() verify data as it is read from fs-verity
files, using the helper functions from fs/verity/.

To support both encryption and verity simultaneously, this required
refactoring the decryption workflow into a generic "post-read
processing" workflow which can do decryption, verification, or both.

The case where the ext4 block size is not equal to the PAGE_SIZE is not
supported yet, since in that case ext4_mpage_readpages() sometimes falls
back to block_read_full_page(), which does not support fs-verity yet.

<title>ext4: add basic fs-verity support</title>

<content type='text'>
Add most of fs-verity support to ext4.  fs-verity is a filesystem
feature that enables transparent integrity protection and authentication
of read-only files.  It uses a dm-verity like mechanism at the file
level: a Merkle tree is used to verify any block in the file in
log(filesize) time.  It is implemented mainly by helper functions in
fs/verity/.  See Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst for the full
documentation.

This commit adds all of ext4 fs-verity support except for the actual
data verification, including:

- Adding a filesystem feature flag and an inode flag for fs-verity.

- Implementing the fsverity_operations to support enabling verity on an
  inode and reading/writing the verity metadata.

- Updating -&gt;write_begin(), -&gt;write_end(), and -&gt;writepages() to support
  writing verity metadata pages.

- Calling the fs-verity hooks for -&gt;open(), -&gt;setattr(), and -&gt;ioctl().

ext4 stores the verity metadata (Merkle tree and fsverity_descriptor)
past the end of the file, starting at the first 64K boundary beyond
i_size.  This approach works because (a) verity files are readonly, and
(b) pages fully beyond i_size aren't visible to userspace but can be
read/written internally by ext4 with only some relatively small changes
to ext4.  This approach avoids having to depend on the EA_INODE feature
and on rearchitecturing ext4's xattr support to support paging
multi-gigabyte xattrs into memory, and to support encrypting xattrs.
Note that the verity metadata *must* be encrypted when the file is,
since it contains hashes of the plaintext data.

This patch incorporates work by Theodore Ts'o and Chandan Rajendra.

<title>ext4: wire up new fscrypt ioctls</title>

Wire up the new ioctls for adding and removing fscrypt keys to/from the
filesystem, and the new ioctl for retrieving v2 encryption policies.

The key removal ioctls also required making ext4_drop_inode() call
fscrypt_drop_inode().

For more details see Documentation/filesystems/fscrypt.rst and the
fscrypt patches that added the implementation of these ioctls.

Handling of aborted journal is a special code path different from
standard ext4_error() one and it can call panic() as well. Commit
1dc1097ff60e ("ext4: avoid panic during forced reboot") forgot to update
this path so fix that omission.
