Jan Kara's analysis of the syzbot report (edited):

  The reproducer opens a directory on FUSE filesystem, it then attaches
  dnotify mark to the open directory.  After that a fuse_do_getattr() call
  finds that attributes returned by the server are inconsistent, and calls
  make_bad_inode() which, among other things does:

          inode-&gt;i_mode = S_IFREG;

  This then confuses dnotify which doesn't tear down its structures
  properly and eventually crashes.

Avoid calling make_bad_inode() on a live inode: switch to a private flag on
the fuse inode.  Also add the test to ops which the bad_inode_ops would
have caught.

This bug goes back to the initial merge of fuse in 2.6.14...

<title>fuse: add a flag FUSE_OPEN_KILL_SUIDGID for open() request</title>

With FUSE_HANDLE_KILLPRIV_V2 support, server will need to kill suid/sgid/
security.capability on open(O_TRUNC), if server supports
FUSE_ATOMIC_O_TRUNC.

But server needs to kill suid/sgid only if caller does not have CAP_FSETID.
Given server does not have this information, client needs to send this info
to server.

So add a flag FUSE_OPEN_KILL_SUIDGID to fuse_open_in request which tells
server to kill suid/sgid (only if group execute is set).

This flag is added to the FUSE_OPEN request, as well as the FUSE_CREATE
request if the create was non-exclusive, since that might result in an
existing file being opened/truncated.

<title>fuse: don't send ATTR_MODE to kill suid/sgid for handle_killpriv_v2</title>

If client does a write() on a suid/sgid file, VFS will first call
fuse_setattr() with ATTR_KILL_S[UG]ID set.  This requires sending setattr
to file server with ATTR_MODE set to kill suid/sgid.  But to do that client
needs to know latest mode otherwise it is racy.

To reduce the race window, current code first call fuse_do_getattr() to get
latest -&gt;i_mode and then resets suid/sgid bits and sends rest to server
with setattr(ATTR_MODE).  This does not reduce the race completely but
narrows race window significantly.

With fc-&gt;handle_killpriv_v2 enabled, it should be possible to remove this
race completely.  Do not kill suid/sgid with ATTR_MODE at all.  It will be
killed by server when WRITE request is sent to server soon.  This is
similar to fc-&gt;handle_killpriv logic.  V2 is just more refined version of
protocol.  Hence this patch does not send ATTR_MODE to kill suid/sgid if
fc-&gt;handle_killpriv_v2 is enabled.

This creates an issue if fc-&gt;writeback_cache is enabled.  In that case
WRITE can be cached in guest and server might not see WRITE request and
hence will not kill suid/sgid.  Miklos suggested that in such cases, we
should fallback to a writethrough WRITE instead and that will generate
WRITE request and kill suid/sgid.  This patch implements that too.

But this relies on client seeing the suid/sgid set.  If another client sets
suid/sgid and this client does not see it immideately, then we will not
fallback to writethrough WRITE.  So this is one limitation with both
fc-&gt;handle_killpriv_v2 and fc-&gt;writeback_cache enabled.  Both the options
are not fully compatible.  But might be good enough for many use cases.

Note: This patch is not checking whether security.capability is set or not
      when falling back to writethrough path.  If suid/sgid is not set and
      only security.capability is set, that will be taken care of by
      file_remove_privs() call in -&gt;writeback_cache path.

With HANDLE_KILLPRIV_V2, server will need to kill suid/sgid if caller does
not have CAP_FSETID.  We already have a flag FUSE_WRITE_KILL_SUIDGID in
WRITE request and we already set it in direct I/O path.

To make it work in cached write path also, start setting
FUSE_WRITE_KILL_SUIDGID in this path too.

Set it only if fc-&gt;handle_killpriv_v2 is set.  Otherwise client is
responsible for kill suid/sgid.

In case of direct I/O we set FUSE_WRITE_KILL_SUIDGID unconditionally
because we don't call file_remove_privs() in that path (with cache=none
option).

Kernel has:
ATTR_KILL_PRIV -&gt; clear "security.capability"
ATTR_KILL_SUID -&gt; clear S_ISUID
ATTR_KILL_SGID -&gt; clear S_ISGID if executable

Fuse has:
FUSE_WRITE_KILL_PRIV -&gt; clear S_ISUID and S_ISGID if executable

So FUSE_WRITE_KILL_PRIV implies the complement of ATTR_KILL_PRIV, which is
somewhat confusing.  Also PRIV implies all privileges, including
"security.capability".

Change the name to FUSE_WRITE_KILL_SUIDGID and make FUSE_WRITE_KILL_PRIV an
alias to perserve API compatibility

Qian Cai reports that the WARNING in tree_insert() can be triggered by a
fuzzer with the following call chain:

invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
   fuse_launder_page()
      fuse_writepage_locked()
         tree_insert()

The reason is that another write for the same page is already queued.

The simplest fix is to wait until the pending write is completed and only
after that queue the new write.

Since this case is very rare, the additional wait should not be a problem.

Pull fuse updates from Miklos Szeredi:

 - Support directly accessing host page cache from virtiofs. This can
   improve I/O performance for various workloads, as well as reducing
   the memory requirement by eliminating double caching. Thanks to Vivek
   Goyal for doing most of the work on this.

 - Allow automatic submounting inside virtiofs. This allows unique
   st_dev/ st_ino values to be assigned inside the guest to files
   residing on different filesystems on the host. Thanks to Max Reitz
   for the patches.

 - Fix an old use after free bug found by Pradeep P V K.

We want to allow submounts for the same fuse_conn, but with different
superblocks so that each of the submounts has its own device ID.  To do
so, we need to split all mount-specific information off of fuse_conn
into a new fuse_mount structure, so that multiple mounts can share a
single fuse_conn.

We need to take care only to perform connection-level actions once (i.e.
when the fuse_conn and thus the first fuse_mount are established, or
when the last fuse_mount and thus the fuse_conn are destroyed).  For
example, fuse_sb_destroy() must invoke fuse_send_destroy() until the
last superblock is released.

To do so, we keep track of which fuse_mount is the root mount and
perform all fuse_conn-level actions only when this fuse_mount is
involved.

Currently in fuse we don't seem have any lock which can serialize fault
path with truncate/punch_hole path. With dax support I need one for
following reasons.

1. Dax requirement

  DAX fault code relies on inode size being stable for the duration of
  fault and want to serialize with truncate/punch_hole and they explicitly
  mention it.

  static vm_fault_t dax_iomap_pmd_fault(struct vm_fault *vmf, pfn_t *pfnp,
                               const struct iomap_ops *ops)
        /*
         * Check whether offset isn't beyond end of file now. Caller is
         * supposed to hold locks serializing us with truncate / punch hole so
         * this is a reliable test.
         */
        max_pgoff = DIV_ROUND_UP(i_size_read(inode), PAGE_SIZE);

2. Make sure there are no users of pages being truncated/punch_hole

  get_user_pages() might take references to page and then do some DMA
  to said pages. Filesystem might truncate those pages without knowing
  that a DMA is in progress or some I/O is in progress. So use
  dax_layout_busy_page() to make sure there are no such references
  and I/O is not in progress on said pages before moving ahead with
  truncation.

3. Limitation of kvm page fault error reporting

  If we are truncating file on host first and then removing mappings in
  guest lateter (truncate page cache etc), then this could lead to a
  problem with KVM. Say a mapping is in place in guest and truncation
  happens on host. Now if guest accesses that mapping, then host will
  take a fault and kvm will either exit to qemu or spin infinitely.

  IOW, before we do truncation on host, we need to make sure that guest
  inode does not have any mapping in that region or whole file.

4. virtiofs memory range reclaim

 Soon I will introduce the notion of being able to reclaim dax memory
 ranges from a fuse dax inode. There also I need to make sure that
 no I/O or fault is going on in the reclaimed range and nobody is using
 it so that range can be reclaimed without issues.

Currently if we take inode lock, that serializes read/write. But it does
not do anything for faults. So I add another semaphore fuse_inode-&gt;i_mmap_sem
for this purpose.  It can be used to serialize with faults.

As of now, I am adding taking this semaphore only in dax fault path and
not regular fault path because existing code does not have one. May
be existing code can benefit from it as well to take care of some
races, but that we can fix later if need be. For now, I am just focussing
only on DAX path which is new path.

Also added logic to take fuse_inode-&gt;i_mmap_sem in
truncate/punch_hole/open(O_TRUNC) path to make sure file truncation and
fuse dax fault are mutually exlusive and avoid all the above problems.
