The FUSE protocol uses struct fuse_write_out to convey the return value of
copy_file_range, which is restricted to uint32_t.  But the COPY_FILE_RANGE
interface supports a 64-bit size copies.

Currently the number of bytes copied is silently truncated to 32-bit, which
may result in poor performance or even failure to copy in case of
truncation to zero.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets.
  21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up",
  "cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc.

  I never knew the MM code was so dirty.

  "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly
     mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent
     VMAs.

  "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park)
     adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of
     DAMON in production environments.

  "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig)
     is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of
     pointers from struct writeback_control.

  "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom)
     contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and
     management code.

  "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman)
     does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code.

  "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts)
     implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading
     into order&gt;0 folios.

  "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown)
     provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the
     selftests code.

  "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
     does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a
     memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark.

  "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox)
     expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page().

  "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand)
     addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code.
     These were not known to be causing any issues at this time.

  "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park)
     provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON.

  "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other
     types.

  "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy)
     increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd
     code.

  "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple)
     removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags.

  "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park)
     implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON
     sysfs layer.

  "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code.

  "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka)
     provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort.

  "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador)
     creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes.
     Previously these were lumped under the more general memory
     on/offline notifier.

  "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan)
     cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue
     which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.

  "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park)
     adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are
     more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite.

  "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador)
     fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and
     follows that fix with a series of cleanups.

  "cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport)
     rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA
     allocator.

  "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand)
     provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code.

  "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park)
     adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.

  "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park)
     does that.

  "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park)
     also does what it claims.

  "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand)
     cleans up the large folio PTE batching code.

  "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park)
     facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation
     policy.

  "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola)
     provides a couple of page-&gt;folio conversions.

  "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso)
     implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
     current memcg-based implementation.

  "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park)
     replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
     powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.

  "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation
     for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping
     of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still
     excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed
     reliably.

  "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga)
     switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and
     removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range().

  "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park)
     augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs
     monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a
     tunable to control the update interval.

  "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi)
     does what is claims.

  "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand)
     provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab
     a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping
     over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe
     directly.

  "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan)
     addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by
     reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than
     half in some situations. The series also introduces several new
     selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.

  "__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan)
     cleans up __folio_split()!

  "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain)
     provides some quite large (&gt;3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing
     with large folios.

  "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian)
     does some cleanup work in the selftests code.

  "tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
     extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
     more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
     multiple VMAs" feature.

  "selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park)
     extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all
     possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present minimal
     subset"

<title>fuse: remove page alignment check for writeback len</title>

<id>595d7ebeaf39ee08180e00fdecf3576a2d702e01</id>
<content type='text'>
Remove incorrect page alignment check for the writeback len arg in
fuse_iomap_writeback_range().  len will always be block-aligned as
passed in by iomap.

On regular fuse filesystems, i_blkbits is set to PAGE_SHIFT so this is
not a problem but for fuseblk filesystems, the block size is set to a
default of 512 bytes or a block size passed in at mount time.

Please note that non-page-aligned lengths are fine for the logic in
fuse_iomap_writeback_range().  The check was originally added as a
safeguard to detect conspicuously wrong ranges.

not a problem but for fuseblk filesystems, the block size is set to a
default of 512 bytes or a block size passed in at mount time.

Please note that non-page-aligned lengths are fine for the logic in
fuse_iomap_writeback_range().  The check was originally added as a
safeguard to detect conspicuously wrong ranges.

Pull vfs iomap updates from Christian Brauner:

 - Refactor the iomap writeback code and split the generic and ioend/bio
   based writeback code.

   There are two methods that define the split between the generic
   writeback code, and the implemementation of it, and all knowledge of
   ioends and bios now sits below that layer.

 - Add fuse iomap support for buffered writes and dirty folio writeback.

   This is needed so that granular uptodate and dirty tracking can be
   used in fuse when large folios are enabled. This has two big
   advantages. For writes, instead of the entire folio needing to be
   read into the page cache, only the relevant portions need to be. For
   writeback, only the dirty portions need to be written back instead of
   the entire folio.

* tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.iomap' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
  fuse: refactor writeback to use iomap_writepage_ctx inode

Pull misc VFS updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.

  Features:

   - Add ext4 IOCB_DONTCACHE support

     This refactors the address_space_operations write_begin() and
     write_end() callbacks to take const struct kiocb * as their first
     argument, allowing IOCB flags such as IOCB_DONTCACHE to propagate
     to the filesystem's buffered I/O path.

     Ext4 is updated to implement handling of the IOCB_DONTCACHE flag
     and advertises support via the FOP_DONTCACHE file operation flag.

     Additionally, the i915 driver's shmem write paths are updated to
     bypass the legacy write_begin/write_end interface in favor of
     directly calling write_iter() with a constructed synchronous kiocb.
     Another i915 change replaces a manual write loop with
     kernel_write() during GEM shmem object creation.

  Cleanups:

   - don't duplicate vfs_open() in kernel_file_open()

   - proc_fd_getattr(): don't bother with S_ISDIR() check

   - fs/ecryptfs: replace snprintf with sysfs_emit in show function

   - vfs: Remove unnecessary list_for_each_entry_safe() from
     evict_inodes()

   - filelock: add new locks_wake_up_waiter() helper

   - fs: Remove three arguments from block_write_end()

   - VFS: change old_dir and new_dir in struct renamedata to dentrys

   - netfs: Remove unused declaration netfs_queue_write_request()

  Fixes:

   - eventpoll: Fix semi-unbounded recursion

   - eventpoll: fix sphinx documentation build warning

   - fs/read_write: Fix spelling typo

   - fs: annotate data race between poll_schedule_timeout() and
     pollwake()

   - fs/pipe: set FMODE_NOWAIT in create_pipe_files()

   - docs/vfs: update references to i_mutex to i_rwsem

   - fs/buffer: remove the min and max limit checks in __getblk_slow()

struct iomap_writepage_ctx includes a pointer to the file inode. In
writeback, use that instead of also passing the inode into
fuse_fill_wb_data.

No functional changes.

Hook into iomap_invalidate_folio() so that if the entire folio is being
invalidated during truncation, the dirty state is cleared and the folio
doesn't get written back. As well the folio's corresponding ifs struct
will get freed.

Hook into iomap_is_partially_uptodate() since iomap tracks uptodateness
granularly when it does buffered writes.

Use iomap for dirty folio writeback in -&gt;writepages().
This allows for granular dirty writeback of large folios.

Only the dirty portions of the large folio will be written instead of
having to write out the entire folio. For example if there is a 1 MB
large folio and only 2 bytes in it are dirty, only the page for those
dirty bytes will be written out.

.dirty_folio needs to be set to iomap_dirty_folio so that the bitmap
iomap uses for dirty tracking correctly reflects dirty regions that need
to be written back.
