<title>fs: ntfs: Limit NTFS_RW to page sizes smaller than 64k</title>

<id>4eec7faf6775263d9e450ae7ee5bc4101d4a0bc9</id>
<content type='text'>
NTFS_RW code allocates page size dependent arrays on the stack. This
results in build failures if the page size is 64k or larger.

  fs/ntfs/aops.c: In function 'ntfs_write_mst_block':
  fs/ntfs/aops.c:1311:1: error:
	the frame size of 2240 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes

Since commit f22969a66041 ("powerpc/64s: Default to 64K pages for 64 bit
book3s") this affects ppc:allmodconfig builds, but other architectures
supporting page sizes of 64k or larger are also affected.

Increasing the maximum frame size for affected architectures just to
silence this error does not really help.  The frame size would have to
be set to a really large value for 256k pages.  Also, a large frame size
could potentially result in stack overruns in this code and elsewhere
and is therefore not desirable.  Make NTFS_RW dependent on page sizes
smaller than 64k instead.

Pull gfs2 mmap + page fault deadlocks fixes from Andreas Gruenbacher:
 "Functions gfs2_file_read_iter and gfs2_file_write_iter are both
  accessing the user buffer to write to or read from while holding the
  inode glock.

  In the most basic deadlock scenario, that buffer will not be resident
  and it will be mapped to the same file. Accessing the buffer will
  trigger a page fault, and gfs2 will deadlock trying to take the same
  inode glock again while trying to handle that fault.

  Fix that and similar, more complex scenarios by disabling page faults
  while accessing user buffers. To make this work, introduce a small
  amount of new infrastructure and fix some bugs that didn't trigger so
  far, with page faults enabled"

Turn iov_iter_fault_in_readable into a function that returns the number
of bytes not faulted in, similar to copy_to_user, instead of returning a
non-zero value when any of the requested pages couldn't be faulted in.
This supports the existing users that require all pages to be faulted in
as well as new users that are happy if any pages can be faulted in.

Rename iov_iter_fault_in_readable to fault_in_iov_iter_readable to make
sure this change doesn't silently break things.

<title>ntfs: fix validity check for file name attribute</title>

<id>d98e4d95411bbde2220a7afa38dcc9c14d71acbe</id>
<content type='text'>
When checking the file name attribute, we want to ensure that it fits
within the bounds of ATTR_RECORD.  To do this, we should check that (attr
record + file name offset + file name length) &lt; (attr record + attr record
length).

However, the original check did not include the file name offset in the
calculation.  This means that corrupted on-disk metadata might not caught
by the incorrect file name check, and lead to an invalid memory access.

An example can be seen in the crash report of a memory corruption error
found by Syzbot:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=a1a1e379b225812688566745c3e2f7242bffc246

Adding the file name offset to the validity check fixes this error and
passes the Syzbot reproducer test.

Replacement is called copy_page_from_iter_atomic(); unlike the old primitive the
callers do *not* need to do iov_iter_advance() after it.  In case when they end
up consuming less than they'd been given they need to do iov_iter_revert() on
everything they had not consumed.  That, however, needs to be done only on slow
paths.

All in-tree callers converted.  And that kills the last user of iterate_all_kinds()

Advance the original, let the caller revert if it needs to.
Don't mess with iov_iter_single_seg_count() in the caller -
if we got a (non-zero) short copy, use the amount actually
copied for the next pass, limit it to "up to the end
of page" if nothing got copied at all.

Originally fault-in only read the first iovec; back then it used
to make sense to limit to the just one iovec for the pass after
short copy.  These days it's no long true.
