<title>xfs: cap the length of deduplication requests</title>

<content type='text'>
Since deduplication potentially has to read in all the pages in both
files in order to compare the contents, cap the deduplication request
length at MAX_RW_COUNT/2 (roughly 1GB) so that we have /some/ upper bound
on the request length and can't just lock up the kernel forever.  Found
by running generic/304 after commit 1ddae54555b62 ("common/rc: add
missing 'local' keywords").

<title>xfs: don't fail when converting shortform attr to long form during ATTR_REPLACE</title>

Kanda Motohiro reported that expanding a tiny xattr into a large xattr
fails on XFS because we remove the tiny xattr from a shortform fork and
then try to re-add it after converting the fork to extents format having
not removed the ATTR_REPLACE flag.  This fails because the attr is no
longer present, causing a fs shutdown.

This is derived from the patch in his bug report, but we really
shouldn't ignore a nonzero retval from the remove call.

<title>xfs: prevent creating negative-sized file via INSERT_RANGE</title>

<content type='text'>
During the "insert range" fallocate operation, i_size grows by the
specified 'len' bytes.  XFS verifies that i_size + len &lt; s_maxbytes, as
it should.  But this comparison is done using the signed 'loff_t', and
'i_size + len' can wrap around to a negative value, causing the check to
incorrectly pass, resulting in an inode with "negative" i_size.  This is
possible on 64-bit platforms, where XFS sets s_maxbytes = LLONG_MAX.
ext4 and f2fs don't run into this because they set a smaller s_maxbytes.

Fix it by using subtraction instead.

Reproducer:
    xfs_io -f file -c "truncate $(((1&lt;&lt;63)-1))" -c "finsert 0 4096"

<title>xfs: set format back to extents if xfs_bmap_extents_to_btree</title>

If xfs_bmap_extents_to_btree fails in a mode where we call
xfs_iroot_realloc(-1) to de-allocate the root, set the
format back to extents.

Otherwise we can assume we can dereference ifp-&gt;if_broot
based on the XFS_DINODE_FMT_BTREE format, and crash.

Add several more validations to xfs_dinode_verify:

- For LOCAL data fork formats, di_nextents must be 0.
- For LOCAL attr fork formats, di_anextents must be 0.
- For inodes with no attr fork offset,
  - format must be XFS_DINODE_FMT_EXTENTS if set at all
  - di_anextents must be 0.

Thanks to dchinner for pointing out a couple related checks I had
forgotten to add.

Forcing the log to disk after reading the agf is wrong, we might be
calling xfs_log_force with XFS_LOG_SYNC with a metadata lock held.

This can cause a deadlock when racing a fstrim with a filesystem
shutdown.

The deadlock has been identified due a miscalculation bug in device-mapper
dm-thin, which returns lack of space to its users earlier than the device itself
really runs out of space, changing the device-mapper volume into an error state.

The problem happened while filling the filesystem with a single file,
triggering the bug in device-mapper, consequently causing an IO error
and shutting down the filesystem.

If such file is removed, and fstrim executed before the XFS finishes the
shut down process, the fstrim process will end up holding the buffer
lock, and going to sleep on the cil wait queue.

At this point, the shut down process will try to wake up all the threads
waiting on the cil wait queue, but for this, it will try to hold the
same buffer log already held my the fstrim, locking up the filesystem.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This cycle was was not something I ever want to repeat as there were
  several late changes that have only now just settled.

  Half of the branch up to commit d2c997c0f145 ("fs, dax: use
  page-&gt;mapping to warn...") have been in -next for several releases.
  The of_pmem driver and the address range scrub rework were late
  arrivals, and the dax work was scaled back at the last moment.

  The of_pmem driver missed a previous merge window due to an oversight.
  A sense of obligation to rectify that miss is why it is included for
  4.17. It has acks from PowerPC folks. Stephen reported a build failure
  that only occurs when merging it with your latest tree, for now I have
  fixed that up by disabling modular builds of of_pmem. A test merge
  with your tree has received a build success report from the 0day robot
  over 156 configs.

  An initial version of the ARS rework was submitted before the merge
  window. It is self contained to libnvdimm, a net code reduction, and
  passing all unit tests.

  The filesystem-dax changes are based on the wait_var_event()
  functionality from tip/sched/core. However, late review feedback
  showed that those changes regressed truncate performance to a large
  degree. The branch was rewound to drop the truncate behavior change
  and now only includes preparation patches and cleanups (with full acks
  and reviews). The finalization of this dax-dma-vs-trnucate work will
  need to wait for 4.18.

  Summary:

   - A rework of the filesytem-dax implementation provides for detection
     of unmap operations (truncate / hole punch) colliding with
     in-progress device-DMA. A fix for these collisions remains a
     work-in-progress pending resolution of truncate latency and
     starvation regressions.

   - The of_pmem driver expands the users of libnvdimm outside of x86
     and ACPI to describe an implementation of persistent memory on
     PowerPC with Open Firmware / Device tree.

   - Address Range Scrub (ARS) handling is completely rewritten to
     account for the fact that ARS may run for 100s of seconds and there
     is no platform defined way to cancel it. ARS will now no longer
     block namespace initialization.

   - The NVDIMM Namespace Label implementation is updated to handle
     label areas as small as 1K, down from 128K.

   - Miscellaneous cleanups and updates to unit test infrastructure"

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This cycle was was not something I ever want to repeat as there were
  several late changes that have only now just settled.

  Half of the branch up to commit d2c997c0f145 ("fs, dax: use
  page-&gt;mapping to warn...") have been in -next for several releases.
  The of_pmem driver and the address range scrub rework were late
  arrivals, and the dax work was scaled back at the last moment.

  The of_pmem driver missed a previous merge window due to an oversight.
  A sense of obligation to rectify that miss is why it is included for
  4.17. It has acks from PowerPC folks. Stephen reported a build failure
  that only occurs when merging it with your latest tree, for now I have
  fixed that up by disabling modular builds of of_pmem. A test merge
  with your tree has received a build success report from the 0day robot
  over 156 configs.

  An initial version of the ARS rework was submitted before the merge
  window. It is self contained to libnvdimm, a net code reduction, and
  passing all unit tests.

  The filesystem-dax changes are based on the wait_var_event()
  functionality from tip/sched/core. However, late review feedback
  showed that those changes regressed truncate performance to a large
  degree. The branch was rewound to drop the truncate behavior change
  and now only includes preparation patches and cleanups (with full acks
  and reviews). The finalization of this dax-dma-vs-trnucate work will
  need to wait for 4.18.
