fs: use splice_copy_file_range() inline helper

2023-12-12T15:20:02+00:00

generic_copy_file_range() is just a wrapper around splice_file_range(),
which caps the maximum copy length.

The only caller of splice_file_range(), namely __ceph_copy_file_range()
is already ready to cope with short copy.

Move the length capping into splice_file_range() and replace the exported
symbol generic_copy_file_range() with a simple inline helper.

splice: return type ssize_t from all helpers

2023-12-12T15:19:59+00:00

Not sure why some splice helpers return long, maybe historic reasons.
Change them all to return ssize_t to conform to the splice methods and
to the rest of the helpers.

fs: move file_start_write() into direct_splice_actor()

2023-12-01T10:39:50+00:00

The callers of do_splice_direct() hold file_start_write() on the output
file.

This may cause file permission hooks to be called indirectly on an
overlayfs lower layer, which is on the same filesystem of the output
file and could lead to deadlock with fanotify permission events.

To fix this potential deadlock, move file_start_write() from the callers
into the direct_splice_actor(), so file_start_write() will not be held
while splicing from the input file.

fs: fork splice_file_range() from do_splice_direct()

2023-12-01T10:39:50+00:00

In preparation of calling do_splice_direct() without file_start_write()
held, create a new helper splice_file_range(), to be called from context
of ->copy_file_range() methods instead of do_splice_direct().

Currently, the only difference is that splice_file_range() does not take
flags argument and that it asserts that file_start_write() is held, but
we factor out a common helper do_splice_direct_actor() that will be used
later.

Use the new helper from __ceph_copy_file_range(), that was incorrectly
passing to do_splice_direct() the copy flags argument as splice flags.
The value of copy flags in ceph is always 0, so it is a smenatic bug fix.

Move the declaration of both helpers to linux/splice.h.

splice: remove permission hook from iter_file_splice_write()

2023-11-24T08:22:28+00:00

All the callers of ->splice_write(), (e.g. do_splice_direct() and
do_splice()) already check rw_verify_area() for the entire range
and perform all the other checks that are in vfs_write_iter().

Instead of creating another tiny helper for special caller, just
open-code it.

This is needed for fanotify "pre content" events.

splice: move permission hook out of splice_file_to_pipe()

2023-11-24T08:22:28+00:00

vfs_splice_read() has a permission hook inside rw_verify_area() and
it is called from splice_file_to_pipe(), which is called from
do_splice() and do_sendfile().

do_sendfile() already has a rw_verify_area() check for the entire range.
do_splice() has a rw_verify_check() for the splice to file case, not for
the splice from file case.

Add the rw_verify_area() check for splice from file case in do_splice()
and use a variant of vfs_splice_read() without rw_verify_area() check
in splice_file_to_pipe() to avoid the redundant rw_verify_area() checks.

This is needed for fanotify "pre content" events.

splice: remove permission hook from do_splice_direct()

2023-11-24T08:22:27+00:00

All callers of do_splice_direct() have a call to rw_verify_area() for
the entire range that is being copied, e.g. by vfs_copy_file_range() or
do_sendfile() before calling do_splice_direct().

The rw_verify_area() check inside do_splice_direct() is redundant and
is called after sb_start_write(), so it is not "start-write-safe".
Remove this redundant check.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
  for vfs and individual filesystems.

  Features:

   - Block mode changes on symlinks and rectify our broken semantics

   - Report file modifications via fsnotify() for splice

   - Allow specifying an explicit timeout for the "rootwait" kernel
     command line option. This allows to timeout and reboot instead of
     always waiting indefinitely for the root device to show up

   - Use synchronous fput for the close system call

  Cleanups:

   - Get rid of open-coded lockdep workarounds for async io submitters
     and replace it all with a single consolidated helper

   - Simplify epoll allocation helper

   - Convert simple_write_begin and simple_write_end to use a folio

   - Convert page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm() to use a folio

   - Simplify __range_close to avoid pointless locking

   - Disable per-cpu buffer head cache for isolated cpus

   - Port ecryptfs to kmap_local_page() api

   - Remove redundant initialization of pointer buf in pipe code

   - Unexport the d_genocide() function which is only used within core
     vfs

   - Replace printk(KERN_ERR) and WARN_ON() with WARN()

  Fixes:

   - Fix various kernel-doc issues

   - Fix refcount underflow for eventfds when used as EFD_SEMAPHORE

   - Fix a mainly theoretical issue in devpts

   - Check the return value of __getblk() in reiserfs

   - Fix a racy assert in i_readcount_dec

   - Fix integer conversion issues in various functions

   - Fix LSM security context handling during automounts that prevented
     NFS superblock sharing"
