<title>direct_write_fallback(): on error revert the -&gt;ki_pos update from buffered write</title>

If we fail filemap_write_and_wait_range() on the range the buffered write went
into, we only report the "number of bytes which we direct-written", to quote
the comment in there.  Which is fine, but buffered write has already advanced
iocb-&gt;ki_pos, so we need to roll that back.  Otherwise we end up with e.g.
write(2) advancing position by more than the amount it reports having written.

Pull libfs and tmpfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This cycle saw a lot of work for tmpfs that required changes to the
  vfs layer. Andrew, Hugh, and I decided to take tmpfs through vfs this
  cycle. Things will go back to mm next cycle.

  Features
  ========

   - By far the biggest work is the quota support for tmpfs. New tmpfs
     quota infrastructure is added to support it and a new QFMT_SHMEM
     uapi option is exposed.

     This offers user and group quotas to tmpfs (project quotas will be
     added later). Similar to other filesystems tmpfs quota are not
     supported within user namespaces yet.

   - Add support for user xattrs. While tmpfs already supports security
     xattrs (security.*) and POSIX ACLs for a long time it lacked
     support for user xattrs (user.*). With this pull request tmpfs will
     be able to support a limited number of user xattrs.

     This is accompanied by a fix (see below) to limit persistent simple
     xattr allocations.

   - Add support for stable directory offsets. Currently tmpfs relies on
     the libfs provided cursor-based mechanism for readdir. This causes
     issues when a tmpfs filesystem is exported via NFS.

     NFS clients do not open directories. Instead, each server-side
     readdir operation opens the directory, reads it, and then closes
     it. Since the cursor state for that directory is associated with
     the opened file it is discarded after each readdir operation. Such
     directory offsets are not just cached by NFS clients but also
     various userspace libraries based on these clients.

     As it stands there is no way to invalidate the caches when
     directory offsets have changed and the whole application depends on
     unchanging directory offsets.

     At LSFMM we discussed how to solve this problem and decided to
     support stable directory offsets. libfs now allows filesystems like
     tmpfs to use an xarrary to map a directory offset to a dentry. This
     mechanism is currently only used by tmpfs but can be supported by
     others as well.

  Fixes
  =====

   - Change persistent simple xattrs allocations in libfs from
     GFP_KERNEL to GPF_KERNEL_ACCOUNT so they're subject to memory
     cgroup limits. Since this is a change to libfs it affects both
     tmpfs and kernfs.

   - Correctly verify {g,u}id mount options.

     A new filesystem context is created via fsopen() which records the
     namespace that becomes the owning namespace of the superblock when
     fsconfig(FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE) is called for filesystems that are
     mountable in namespaces. However, fsconfig() calls can occur in a
     namespace different from the namespace where fsopen() has been
     called.

     Currently, when fsconfig() is called to set {g,u}id mount options
     the requested {g,u}id is mapped into a k{g,u}id according to the
     namespace where fsconfig() was called from. The resulting k{g,u}id
     is not guaranteed to be resolvable in the namespace of the
     filesystem (the one that fsopen() was called in).

     This means it's possible for an unprivileged user to create files
     owned by any group in a tmpfs mount since it's possible to set the
     setid bits on the tmpfs directory.

     The contract for {g,u}id mount options and {g,u}id values in
     general set from userspace has always been that they are translated
     according to the caller's idmapping. In so far, tmpfs has been
     doing the correct thing. But since tmpfs is mountable in
     unprivileged contexts it is also necessary to verify that the
     resulting {k,g}uid is representable in the namespace of the
     superblock to avoid such bugs.

     The new mount api's cross-namespace delegation abilities are
     already widely used. Having talked to a bunch of userspace this is
     the most faithful solution with minimal regression risks"

<content type='text'>
Remove a number of implicit calls to compound_head() and various calls
to compatibility functions.  This is not sufficient to enable support
for large folios; generic_perform_write() must be converted first.

<title>libfs: Remove parent dentry locking in offset_iterate_dir()</title>

<id>2be4f05af71bb2a9958c5680c19e5a489636ff42</id>
<content type='text'>
Since offset_iterate_dir() does not walk the parent's d_subdir list
nor does it manipulate the parent's d_child, there doesn't seem to
be a reason to hold the parent's d_lock. The offset_ctx's xarray can
be sufficiently protected with just the RCU read lock.

Flame graph data captured during the git regression run shows a
20% reduction in CPU cycles consumed in offset_find_next().

Tie the dynamically-allocated xarray locks into a single class so
contention on the directory offset xarrays can be observed.

Create a vector of directory operations in fs/libfs.c that handles
directory seeks and readdir via stable offsets instead of the
current cursor-based mechanism.

For the moment these are unused.

<title>fs: pass the request_mask to generic_fillattr</title>

generic_fillattr just fills in the entire stat struct indiscriminately
today, copying data from the inode. There is at least one attribute
(STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE) that can have side effects when it is reported,
and we're looking at adding more with the addition of multigrain
timestamps.

Add a request_mask argument to generic_fillattr and have most callers
just pass in the value that is passed to getattr. Have other callers
(e.g. ksmbd) just pass in STATX_BASIC_STATS. Also move the setting of
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE into generic_fillattr.
