Commit 868f9f2f8e00 ("vfs: fix copy_file_range() regression in cross-fs
copies") removed fallback to generic_copy_file_range() for cross-fs
cases inside vfs_copy_file_range().

To preserve behavior of nfsd and ksmbd server-side-copy, the fallback to
generic_copy_file_range() was added in nfsd and ksmbd code, but that
call is missing sb_start_write(), fsnotify hooks and more.

Ideally, nfsd and ksmbd would pass a flag to vfs_copy_file_range() that
will take care of the fallback, but that code would be subtle and we got
vfs_copy_file_range() logic wrong too many times already.

Instead, add a flag to explicitly request vfs_copy_file_range() to
perform only generic_copy_file_range() and let nfsd and ksmbd use this
flag only in the fallback path.

This choise keeps the logic changes to minimum in the non-nfsd/ksmbd code
paths to reduce the risk of further regressions.

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Add supported for more directly managed task_work running.

   This is beneficial for real world applications that end up issuing
   lots of system calls as part of handling work. Normal task_work will
   always execute as we transition in and out of the kernel, even for
   "unrelated" system calls. It's more efficient to defer the handling
   of io_uring's deferred work until the application wants it to be run,
   generally in batches.

   As part of ongoing work to write an io_uring network backend for
   Thrift, this has been shown to greatly improve performance. (Dylan)

 - Add IOPOLL support for passthrough (Kanchan)

 - Improvements and fixes to the send zero-copy support (Pavel)

 - Partial IO handling fixes (Pavel)

 - CQE ordering fixes around CQ ring overflow (Pavel)

 - Support sendto() for non-zc as well (Pavel)

 - Support sendmsg for zerocopy (Pavel)

 - Networking iov_iter fix (Stefan)

 - Misc fixes and cleanups (Pavel, me)

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "The first two changes involve files outside of fs/ext4:

   - submit_bh() can never return an error, so change it to return void,
     and remove the unused checks from its callers

   - fix I_DIRTY_TIME handling so it will be set even if the inode
     already has I_DIRTY_INODE

  Performance:

   - Always enable i_version counter (as btrfs and xfs already do).
     Remove some uneeded i_version bumps to avoid unnecessary nfs cache
     invalidations

   - Wake up journal waiters in FIFO order, to avoid some journal users
     from not getting a journal handle for an unfairly long time

   - In ext4_write_begin() allocate any necessary buffer heads before
     starting the journal handle

   - Don't try to prefetch the block allocation bitmaps for a read-only
     file system

  Bug Fixes:

   - Fix a number of fast commit bugs, including resources leaks and out
     of bound references in various error handling paths and/or if the
     fast commit log is corrupted

   - Avoid stopping the online resize early when expanding a file system
     which is less than 16TiB to a size greater than 16TiB

   - Fix apparent metadata corruption caused by a race with a metadata
     buffer head getting migrated while it was trying to be read

   - Mark the lazy initialization thread freezable to prevent suspend
     failures

   - Other miscellaneous bug fixes

  Cleanups:

   - Break up the incredibly long ext4_full_super() function by
     refactoring to move code into more understandable, smaller
     functions

   - Remove the deprecated (and ignored) noacl and nouser_attr mount
     option

<title>fs: record I_DIRTY_TIME even if inode already has I_DIRTY_INODE</title>

<id>cbfecb927f429a6fa613d74b998496bd71e4438a</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the I_DIRTY_TIME will never get set if the inode already has
I_DIRTY_INODE with assumption that it supersedes I_DIRTY_TIME.  That's
true, however ext4 will only update the on-disk inode in
-&gt;dirty_inode(), not on actual writeback. As a result if the inode
already has I_DIRTY_INODE state by the time we get to
__mark_inode_dirty() only with I_DIRTY_TIME, the time was already filled
into on-disk inode and will not get updated until the next I_DIRTY_INODE
update, which might never come if we crash or get a power failure.

The problem can be reproduced on ext4 by running xfstest generic/622
with -o iversion mount option.

Fix it by allowing I_DIRTY_TIME to be set even if the inode already has
I_DIRTY_INODE. Also make sure that the case is properly handled in
writeback_single_inode() as well. Additionally changes in
xfs_fs_dirty_inode() was made to accommodate for I_DIRTY_TIME in flag.

Thanks Jan Kara for suggestions on how to make this work properly.

This is in preparation for adding tmpfile support to fuse, which requires
that the tmpfile creation and opening are done as a single operation.

Replace the 'struct dentry *' argument of i_op-&gt;tmpfile with
'struct file *'.

Call finish_open_simple() as the last thing in -&gt;tmpfile() instances (may
be omitted in the error case).

Change d_tmpfile() argument to 'struct file *' as well to make callers more
readable.

'struct file *'.

Call finish_open_simple() as the last thing in -&gt;tmpfile() instances (may
be omitted in the error case).

Change d_tmpfile() argument to 'struct file *' as well to make callers more
readable.

Create a helper finish_open_simple() that opens the file with the original
dentry.  Handle the error case here as well to simplify callers.

Call this helper right after -&gt;tmpfile() is called.

Next patch will change the tmpfile API and move this call into tmpfile
instances.

<title>vfs: add vfs_tmpfile_open() helper</title>

<content type='text'>
This helper unifies tmpfile creation with opening.

Existing vfs_tmpfile() callers outside of fs/namei.c will be converted to
using this helper.  There are two such callers: cachefile and overlayfs.

The cachefiles code currently uses the open_with_fake_path() helper to open
the tmpfile, presumably to disable accounting of the open file.  Overlayfs
uses tmpfile for copy_up, which means these struct file instances will be
short lived, hence it doesn't really matter if they are accounted or not.
Disable accounting in this helper too, which should be okay for both
callers.

Add MAY_OPEN permission checking for consistency.  Like for create(2)
read/write permissions are not checked.
