If the call to nfs_delegation_grab_inode() fails, we will not have
dropped any locks that require us to rescan the list.

Make sure that we clear the layout segments in cases where we see a
fatal error, and also in the case where the layout is invalid.

<title>nfs: fix bitmap decoder to handle a 3rd word</title>

It only decodes the first two words at this point. Have it decode the
third word as well. Without this, the client doesn't send delegated
timestamps in the CB_GETATTR response.

With this change we also need to expand the on-stack bitmap in
decode_recallany_args to 3 elements, in case the server sends a larger
bitmap than expected.

<title>9p: Fix DIO read through netfs</title>

<id>e3786b29c54cdae3490b07180a54e2461f42144c</id>
<content type='text'>
If a program is watching a file on a 9p mount, it won't see any change in
size if the file being exported by the server is changed directly in the
source filesystem, presumably because 9p doesn't have change notifications,
and because netfs skips the reads if the file is empty.

Fix this by attempting to read the full size specified when a DIO read is
requested (such as when 9p is operating in unbuffered mode) and dealing
with a short read if the EOF was less than the expected read.

To make this work, filesystems using netfslib must not set
NETFS_SREQ_CLEAR_TAIL if performing a DIO read where that read hit the EOF.
I don't want to mandatorily clear this flag in netfslib for DIO because,
say, ceph might make a read from an object that is not completely filled,
but does not reside at the end of file - and so we need to clear the
excess.

This can be tested by watching an empty file over 9p within a VM (such as
in the ktest framework):

        while true; do read content; if [ -n "$content" ]; then echo $content; break; fi; done &lt; /host/tmp/foo

then writing something into the empty file.  The watcher should immediately
display the file content and break out of the loop.  Without this fix, it
remains in the loop indefinitely.

<title>netfs: Fix handling of USE_PGPRIV2 and WRITE_TO_CACHE flags</title>
<updated>2024-08-12T20:03:27+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>David Howells</name>
<email>dhowells@redhat.com</email>
</author>
<published>2024-08-07T18:38:46+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=7b589a9b45ae32aa9d7bece597490e141198d7a6'/>
<id>7b589a9b45ae32aa9d7bece597490e141198d7a6</id>
<content type='text'>
The NETFS_RREQ_USE_PGPRIV2 and NETFS_RREQ_WRITE_TO_CACHE flags aren't used
correctly.  The problem is that we try to set them up in the request
initialisation, but we the cache may be in the process of setting up still,
and so the state may not be correct.  Further, we secondarily sample the
cache state and make contradictory decisions later.

The issue arises because we set up the cache resources, which allows the
cache's -&gt;prepare_read() to switch on NETFS_SREQ_COPY_TO_CACHE - which
triggers cache writing even if we didn't set the flags when allocating.

Fix this in the following way:

 (1) Drop NETFS_ICTX_USE_PGPRIV2 and instead set NETFS_RREQ_USE_PGPRIV2 in
     -&gt;init_request() rather than trying to juggle that in
     netfs_alloc_request().

 (2) Repurpose NETFS_RREQ_USE_PGPRIV2 to merely indicate that if caching is
     to be done, then PG_private_2 is to be used rather than only setting
     it if we decide to cache and then having netfs_rreq_unlock_folios()
     set the non-PG_private_2 writeback-to-cache if it wasn't set.

 (3) Split netfs_rreq_unlock_folios() into two functions, one of which
     contains the deprecated code for using PG_private_2 to avoid
     accidentally doing the writeback path - and always use it if
     USE_PGPRIV2 is set.

 (4) As NETFS_ICTX_USE_PGPRIV2 is removed, make netfs_write_begin() always
     wait for PG_private_2.  This function is deprecated and only used by
     ceph anyway, and so label it so.

 (5) Drop the NETFS_RREQ_WRITE_TO_CACHE flag and use
     fscache_operation_valid() on the cache_resources instead.  This has
     the advantage of picking up the result of netfs_begin_cache_read() and
     fscache_begin_write_operation() - which are called after the object is
     initialised and will wait for the cache to come to a usable state.

Just reverting ae678317b95e[1] isn't a sufficient fix, so this need to be
applied on top of that.  Without this as well, things like:

 rcu: INFO: rcu_sched detected expedited stalls on CPUs/tasks: {

and:

 WARNING: CPU: 13 PID: 3621 at fs/ceph/caps.c:3386

may happen, along with some UAFs due to PG_private_2 not getting used to
wait on writeback completion.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan
   Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.
   These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels.

 - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to
   reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the
   mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My
   bad.

 - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to
   folio_alloc_mpol()"

 - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series
   "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability
   of cgroup writeback"

 - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little
   faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache
   index".

 - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in
   vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
   Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of
   the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects
   here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.

 - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling
   of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is
   "Restructure va_high_addr_switch".

 - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight
   optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to
   simplify code".

 - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our
   fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in
   the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection".

 - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add
   MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull.

 - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang
   has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying.

 - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm:
   zswap: trivial folio conversions".

 - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first",
   Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the
   swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end
   objective of full support of large folio swapin/out.

 - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window
   calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible
   fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code.

 - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has
   taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this
   is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic
   improvements in pagefault latency are realized.

 - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of
   page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to
   fs/proc/internal.h".

 - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series
   "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".

 - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series
   "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"".

 - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry
   Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers
   and utilize them".

 - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has
   reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly
   common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark.

   It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless
   all CPUs are pegged.

 - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series
   "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes".

 - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that
   thing.

 - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu
   Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory".
   This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the
   efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM.

 - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae
   Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit
   function".

 - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()"
   David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially
   modernizing its use of pageframe fields.

 - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove
   page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()".

 - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series
   "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for
   !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline()
   pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks.

 - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
   __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in
   preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin.

 - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio"
   implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large
   folio userspace copying.

 - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool
   and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved
   with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park.

 - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does
   that.

 - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the
   migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault
   folio isolation + checks under PTL".

 - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in
   the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various
   readahead quirks".

 - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
   {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's
   self testing code.

 - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache
   code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported
   by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable.

 - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations
   and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM.

 - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of
   code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code
   Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put
   under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg
   data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1"

 - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim"
   adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file.

 - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan
   permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of
   excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to
   monitor and handle this situation.

 - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from
   migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration
   from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing.

 - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements"
   does those things.

 - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock"
   Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory
   utilization.

 - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for
   pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than
   bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if
   they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block.

 - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to
   /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series
   is "query VMAs from /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps".

 - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance
   Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information
   related to multisize THP splitting.

 - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages
   without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits
   userspace to use all available huge page sizes.

 - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault
   injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and
   not very useful feature from slab fault injection.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan
   Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.
   These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels.

 - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to
   reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the
   mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My
   bad.

 - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to
   folio_alloc_mpol()"

 - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series
   "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability
   of cgroup writeback"

 - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little
   faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache
   index".

 - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in
   vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
   Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of
   the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects
   here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.

 - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling
   of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is
   "Restructure va_high_addr_switch".

 - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight
   optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to
   simplify code".

 - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our
   fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in
   the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection".
