Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains a few small fixes. This comes with some delay because I
  wanted to wait on people running their reproducers and the Easter
  Holidays meant that those replies came in a little later than usual:

   - Fix handling of preventing writes to mounted block devices.

     Since last kernel we allow to prevent writing to mounted block
     devices provided CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED isn't set and the
     block device is opened with restricted writes. When we switched to
     opening block devices as files we altered the mechanism by which we
     recognize when a block device has been opened with write
     restrictions.

     The detection logic assumed that only read-write mounted
     filesystems would apply write restrictions to their block devices
     from other openers. That of course is not true since it also makes
     sense to apply write restrictions for filesystems that are
     read-only.

     Fix the detection logic using an FMODE_* bit. We still have a few
     left since we freed up a couple a while ago. I also picked up a
     patch to free up four additional FMODE_* bits scheduled for the
     next merge window.

   - Fix counting the number of writers to a block device. This just
     changes the logic to be consistent.

   - Fix a bug in aio causing a NULL pointer derefernce after we
     implemented batched processing in aio.

   - Finally, add the changes we discussed that allows to yield block
     devices early even though file closing itself is deferred.

     This also allows us to remove two holder operations to get and
     release the holder to align lifetime of file and holder of the
     block device"

<title>xfs: allow cross-linking special files without project quota</title>

There's an issue that if special files is created before quota
project is enabled, then it's not possible to link this file. This
works fine for normal files. This happens because xfs_quota skips
special files (no ioctls to set necessary flags). The check for
having the same project ID for source and destination then fails as
source file doesn't have any ID.

mkfs.xfs -f /dev/sda
mount -o prjquota /dev/sda /mnt/test

mkdir /mnt/test/foo
mkfifo /mnt/test/foo/fifo1

xfs_quota -xc "project -sp /mnt/test/foo 9" /mnt/test
&gt; Setting up project 9 (path /mnt/test/foo)...
&gt; xfs_quota: skipping special file /mnt/test/foo/fifo1
&gt; Processed 1 (/etc/projects and cmdline) paths for project 9 with recursion depth infinite (-1).

ln /mnt/test/foo/fifo1 /mnt/test/foo/fifo1_link
&gt; ln: failed to create hard link '/mnt/test/testdir/fifo1_link' =&gt; '/mnt/test/testdir/fifo1': Invalid cross-device link

mkfifo /mnt/test/foo/fifo2
ln /mnt/test/foo/fifo2 /mnt/test/foo/fifo2_link

Fix this by allowing linking of special files to the project quota
if special files doesn't have any ID set (ID = 0).

Currently a device is only really released once the umount returns to
userspace due to how file closing works. That ultimately could cause
an old umount assumption to be violated that concurrent umount and mount
don't fail. So an exclusively held device with a temporary holder should
be yielded before the filesystem is gone. Add a helper that allows
callers to do that. This also allows us to remove the two holder ops
that Linus wasn't excited about.

<title>xfs: don't use current-&gt;journal_info</title>

syzbot reported an ext4 panic during a page fault where found a
journal handle when it didn't expect to find one. The structure
it tripped over had a value of 'TRAN' in the first entry in the
structure, and that indicates it tripped over a struct xfs_trans
instead of a jbd2 handle.

The reason for this is that the page fault was taken during a
copy-out to a user buffer from an xfs bulkstat operation. XFS uses
an "empty" transaction context for bulkstat to do automated metadata
buffer cleanup, and so the transaction context is valid across the
copyout of the bulkstat info into the user buffer.

We are using empty transaction contexts like this in XFS to reduce
the risk of failing to release objects we reference during the
operation, especially during error handling. Hence we really need to
ensure that we can take page faults from these contexts without
leaving landmines for the code processing the page fault to trip
over.

However, this same behaviour could happen from any other filesystem
that triggers a page fault or any other exception that is handled
on-stack from within a task context that has current-&gt;journal_info
set.  Having a page fault from some other filesystem bounce into XFS
where we have to run a transaction isn't a bug at all, but the usage
of current-&gt;journal_info means that this could result corruption of
the outer task's journal_info structure.

The problem is purely that we now have two different contexts that
now think they own current-&gt;journal_info. IOWs, no filesystem can
allow page faults or on-stack exceptions while current-&gt;journal_info
is set by the filesystem because the exception processing might use
current-&gt;journal_info itself.

If we end up with nested XFS transactions whilst holding an empty
transaction, then it isn't an issue as the outer transaction does
not hold a log reservation. If we ignore the current-&gt;journal_info
usage, then the only problem that might occur is a deadlock if the
exception tries to take the same locks the upper context holds.
That, however, is not a problem that setting current-&gt;journal_info
would solve, so it's largely an irrelevant concern here.

IOWs, we really only use current-&gt;journal_info for a warning check
in xfs_vm_writepages() to ensure we aren't doing writeback from a
transaction context. Writeback might need to do allocation, so it
can need to run transactions itself. Hence it's a debug check to
warn us that we've done something silly, and largely it is not all
that useful.

So let's just remove all the use of current-&gt;journal_info in XFS and
get rid of all the potential issues from nested contexts where
current-&gt;journal_info might get misused by another filesystem
context.

<title>xfs: allow sunit mount option to repair bad primary sb stripe values</title>

If a filesystem has a busted stripe alignment configuration on disk
(e.g. because broken RAID firmware told mkfs that swidth was smaller
than sunit), then the filesystem will refuse to mount due to the
stripe validation failing. This failure is triggering during distro
upgrades from old kernels lacking this check to newer kernels with
this check, and currently the only way to fix it is with offline
xfs_db surgery.

This runtime validity checking occurs when we read the superblock
for the first time and causes the mount to fail immediately. This
prevents the rewrite of stripe unit/width via
mount options that occurs later in the mount process. Hence there is
no way to recover this situation without resorting to offline xfs_db
rewrite of the values.

However, we parse the mount options long before we read the
superblock, and we know if the mount has been asked to re-write the
stripe alignment configuration when we are reading the superblock
and verifying it for the first time. Hence we can conditionally
ignore stripe verification failures if the mount options specified
will correct the issue.

We validate that the new stripe unit/width are valid before we
overwrite the superblock values, so we can ignore the invalid config
at verification and fail the mount later if the new values are not
valid. This, at least, gives users the chance of correcting the
issue after a kernel upgrade without having to resort to xfs-db
hacks.

In converting the XFS code from GFP_NOFS to scoped contexts, we
converted the quota radix tree to GFP_KERNEL. Unfortunately, it was
not clearly documented that this set was because there is a
dependency on the quotainfo-&gt;qi_tree_lock being taken in memory
reclaim to remove dquots from the radix tree.

In hindsight this is obvious, but the radix tree allocations on
insert are not immediately obvious, and we avoid this for the inode
cache radix trees by using preloading and hence completely avoiding
the radix tree node allocation under tree lock constraints.

Hence there are a few solutions here. The first is to reinstate
GFP_NOFS for the radix tree and add a comment explaining why
GFP_NOFS is used. The second is to use memalloc_nofs_save() on the
radix tree insert context, which makes it obvious that the radix
tree insert runs under GFP_NOFS constraints. The third option is to
simply replace the radix tree and it's lock with an xarray which can
do memory allocation safely in an insert context.

The first is OK, but not really the direction we want to head. The
second is my preferred short term solution. The third - converting
XFS radix trees to xarray - is the longer term solution.

Hence to fix the regression here, we take option 2 as it moves us in
the direction we want to head with memory allocation and GFP_NOFS
removal.

In converting the XFS code from GFP_NOFS to scoped contexts, we
converted the quota radix tree to GFP_KERNEL. Unfortunately, it was
not clearly documented that this set was because there is a
dependency on the quotainfo-&gt;qi_tree_lock being taken in memory
reclaim to remove dquots from the radix tree.

<title>xfs: fix dev_t usage in xmbuf tracepoints</title>

<id>215b2bf72a05d702287fc45d854b4f5019f9aad1</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix some inconsistencies in the xmbuf tracepoints -- they should be
reporting the major/minor of the filesystem that they're associated
with, so that we have some clue on whose behalf the xmbuf was created.
Fix the xmbuf_free tracepoint to report the same.

Don't call the trace function until the xmbuf is fully initialized.
