commit dfad37051ade ("remap_range: move permission hooks out of
do_clone_file_range()") moved the permission hooks from
do_clone_file_range() out to its caller vfs_clone_file_range(),
but left all the fast sanity checks in do_clone_file_range().

This makes the expensive security hooks be called in situations
that they would not have been called before (e.g. fs does not support
clone).

The only reason for the do_clone_file_range() helper was that overlayfs
did not use to be able to call vfs_clone_file_range() from copy up
context with sb_writers lock held.  However, since commit c63e56a4a652
("ovl: do not open/llseek lower file with upper sb_writers held"),
overlayfs just uses an open coded version of vfs_clone_file_range().

Merge_clone_file_range() into vfs_clone_file_range(), restoring the
original order of checks as it was before the regressing commit and adapt
the overlayfs code to call vfs_clone_file_range() before the permission
hooks that were added by commit ca7ab482401c ("ovl: add permission hooks
outside of do_splice_direct()").

Note that in the merge of do_clone_file_range(), the file_start_write()
context was reduced to cover -&gt;remap_file_range() without holding it
over the permission hooks, which was the reason for doing the regressing
commit in the first place.

In preparation for pre-content permission events with file access range,
move fsnotify_file_perm() hook out of security_file_permission() and into
the callers.

Callers that have the access range information call the new hook
fsnotify_file_area_perm() with the access range.

In vfs code, file_start_write() is usually called after the permission
hook in rw_verify_area().  vfs_dedupe_file_range_one() is an exception
to this rule.

In vfs_dedupe_file_range_one(), move file_start_write() to after the
the rw_verify_area() checks to make them "start-write-safe".

This is needed for fanotify "pre content" events.

In many of the vfs helpers, file permission hook is called before
taking sb_start_write(), making them "start-write-safe".
do_clone_file_range() is an exception to this rule.

do_clone_file_range() has two callers - vfs_clone_file_range() and
overlayfs. Move remap_verify_area() checks from do_clone_file_range()
out to vfs_clone_file_range() to make them "start-write-safe".

Overlayfs already has calls to rw_verify_area() with the same security
permission hooks as remap_verify_area() has.
The rest of the checks in remap_verify_area() are irrelevant for
overlayfs that calls do_clone_file_range() offset 0 and positive length.

This is needed for fanotify "pre content" events.

As loff_t is a signed type, we should use the safe overflow checks
instead of relying on compiler implementation.

The bogus values are intentional and the test is supposed to verify the
boundary conditions.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Remove legacy file_mnt_user_ns() and mnt_user_ns().

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

Pull vfs remap_range update from Darrick Wong:

 - Make some minor adjustments to the remap range preparation function
   to skip file updates when the request length is adjusted downwards to
   zero.

generic_remap_checks() can reduce the effective request length (i.e.,
after the reflink extend to EOF case is handled) down to zero. If this
occurs, __generic_remap_file_range_prep() proceeds through dio
serialization, file mapping flush calls, and may invoke file_modified()
before returning back to the filesystem caller, all of which immediately
check for len == 0 and return.

While this is mostly harmless, it is spurious and not completely
without side effect. A filemap write call can submit I/O (but not
wait on it) when the specified end byte precedes the start but
happens to land on the same aligned page boundary, which can occur
from __generic_remap_file_range_prep() when len is 0.

The dedupe path already has a len == 0 check to break out before
doing range comparisons. Lift this check a bit earlier in the
function to cover the general case of len == 0 and avoid the
unnecessary work. While here, account for the case where
generic_remap_check_len() may also reduce length to zero.

We already ported most parts and filesystems over for v6.0 to the new
vfs{g,u}id_t type and associated helpers for v6.0. Convert the remaining
places so we can remove all the old helpers.
This is a non-functional change.
