Pull fs-verity support from Eric Biggers:
"fs-verity is a filesystem feature that provides Merkle tree based
hashing (similar to dm-verity) for individual readonly files, mainly
for the purpose of efficient authenticity verification.
This pull request includes:
(a) The fs/verity/ support layer and documentation.
(b) fs-verity support for ext4 and f2fs.
Compared to the original fs-verity patchset from last year, the UAPI
to enable fs-verity on a file has been greatly simplified. Lots of
other things were cleaned up too.
fs-verity is planned to be used by two different projects on Android;
most of the userspace code is in place already. Another userspace tool
("fsverity-utils"), and xfstests, are also available. e2fsprogs and
f2fs-tools already have fs-verity support. Other people have shown
interest in using fs-verity too.
I've tested this on ext4 and f2fs with xfstests, both the existing
tests and the new fs-verity tests. This has also been in linux-next
since July 30 with no reported issues except a couple minor ones I
found myself and folded in fixes for.
Ted and I will be co-maintaining fs-verity"

Pull fscrypt updates from Eric Biggers:
"This is a large update to fs/crypto/ which includes:
- Add ioctls that add/remove encryption keys to/from a
filesystem-level keyring.
These fix user-reported issues where e.g. an encrypted home
directory can break NetworkManager, sshd, Docker, etc. because they
don't get access to the needed keyring. These ioctls also provide a
way to lock encrypted directories that doesn't use the
vm.drop_caches sysctl, so is faster, more reliable, and doesn't
always need root.
- Add a new encryption policy version ("v2") which switches to a more
standard, secure, and flexible key derivation function, and starts
verifying that the correct key was supplied before using it.
The key derivation improvement is needed for its own sake as well
as for ongoing feature work for which the current way is too
inflexible.
Work is in progress to update both Android and the 'fscrypt' userspace
tool to use both these features. (Working patches are available and
just need to be reviewed+merged.) Chrome OS will likely use them too.
This has also been tested on ext4, f2fs, and ubifs with xfstests --
both the existing encryption tests, and the new tests for this. This
has also been in linux-next since Aug 16 with no reported issues. I'm
also using an fscrypt v2-encrypted home directory on my personal
desktop"

When getting fscrypt policy via EXT4_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_POLICY, if
encryption feature is off, it's better to return EOPNOTSUPP instead of
ENODATA, so let's add ext4_has_feature_encrypt() to do the check for
that.
This makes it so that all fscrypt ioctls consistently check for the
encryption feature, and makes ext4 consistent with f2fs in this regard.

EROFS filesystem has been merged into linux-staging for a year.
EROFS is designed to be a better solution of saving extra storage
space with guaranteed end-to-end performance for read-only files
with the help of reduced metadata, fixed-sized output compression
and decompression inplace technologies.
In the past year, EROFS was greatly improved by many people as
a staging driver, self-tested, betaed by a large number of our
internal users, successfully applied to almost all in-service
HUAWEI smartphones as the part of EMUI 9.1 and proven to be stable
enough to be moved out of staging.
EROFS is a self-contained filesystem driver. Although there are
still some TODOs to be more generic, we have a dedicated team
actively keeping on working on EROFS in order to make it better
with the evolution of Linux kernel as the other in-kernel filesystems.
As Pavel suggested, it's better to do as one commit since git
can do moves and all histories will be saved in this way.
Let's promote it from staging and enhance it more actively as
a "real" part of kernel for more wider scenarios!

Since 9e8925b67a ("locks: Allow disabling mandatory locking at compile
time"), attempts to mount filesystems with "-o mand" will fail.
Unfortunately, there is no other indiciation of the reason for the
failure.
Change how the function is defined for better readability. When
CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING is disabled, printk a warning when
someone attempts to mount with -o mand.
Also, add a blurb to the mandatory-locking.txt file to explain about
the "mand" option, and the behavior one should expect when it is
disabled.

Prefix all filesystem encryption UAPI constants except the ioctl numbers
with "FSCRYPT_" rather than with "FS_". This namespaces the constants
more appropriately and makes it clear that they are related specifically
to the filesystem encryption feature, and to the 'fscrypt_*' structures.
With some of the old names like "FS_POLICY_FLAGS_VALID", it was not
immediately clear that the constant had anything to do with encryption.
This is also useful because we'll be adding more encryption-related
constants, e.g. for the policy version, and we'd otherwise have to
choose whether to use unclear names like FS_POLICY_V1 or inconsistent
names like FS_ENCRYPTION_POLICY_V1.
For source compatibility with existing userspace programs, keep the old
names defined as aliases to the new names.
Finally, as long as new names are being defined anyway, I skipped
defining new names for the fscrypt mode numbers that aren't actually
used: INVALID (0), AES_256_GCM (2), AES_256_CBC (3), SPECK128_256_XTS
(7), and SPECK128_256_CTS (8).

The filenames for cifs documentation is not using the same
convention as almost all Kernel documents is using. So,
rename them to a more appropriate name. Then, manually convert
the documentation files for CIFS to ReST.
By doing a manual conversion, we can preserve the original
author's style, while making it to look more like the other
Kernel documents.
Most of the conversion here is trivial. The most complex one was
the README file (which was renamed to usage.rst).

This file has its own proper style, except that, after a while,
the coding style gets violated and whitespaces are placed on
different ways.
As Sphinx and ReST are very sentitive to whitespace differences,
I had to opt if each entry after required/mandatory/... fields
should start with zero spaces or with a tab. I opted to start them
all from the zero position, in order to avoid needing to break lines
with more than 80 columns, with would make harder for review.
Most of the other changes at porting.rst were made to use an unified
notation with works nice as a text file while also produce a good html

Commit 7635d9cbe832 ("mm, thp, proc: report THP eligibility for each
vma") introduced THPeligible bit for processes' smaps. But, when
checking the eligibility for shmem vma, __transparent_hugepage_enabled()
is called to override the result from shmem_huge_enabled(). It may
result in the anonymous vma's THP flag override shmem's. For example,
running a simple test which create THP for shmem, but with anonymous THP
disabled, when reading the process's smaps, it may show:
7fc92ec00000-7fc92f000000 rw-s 00000000 00:14 27764 /dev/shm/test
Size: 4096 kB
...
[snip]
...
ShmemPmdMapped: 4096 kB
...
[snip]
...
THPeligible: 0
And, /proc/meminfo does show THP allocated and PMD mapped too:
ShmemHugePages: 4096 kB
ShmemPmdMapped: 4096 kB
This doesn't make too much sense. The shmem objects should be treated
separately from anonymous THP. Calling shmem_huge_enabled() with
checking MMF_DISABLE_THP sounds good enough. And, we could skip stack
and dax vma check since we already checked if the vma is shmem already.
Also check if vma is suitable for THP by calling
transhuge_vma_suitable().
And minor fix to smaps output format and documentation.

We exchange file timestamps with user space using psdev device
read/write operations with a fixed but architecture specific binary
layout.
On 32-bit systems, this uses a 'timespec' structure that is defined by
the C library to contain two 32-bit values for seconds and nanoseconds.
As we get ready for the year 2038 overflow of the 32-bit signed seconds,
the kernel now uses 64-bit timestamps internally, and user space will do
the same change by changing the 'timespec' definition in the future.
Unfortunately, this breaks the layout of the coda_vattr structure, so we
need to redefine that in terms of something that does not change. I'm
introducing a new 'struct vtimespec' structure here that keeps the
existing layout, and the same change has to be done in the coda user
space copy of linux/coda.h before anyone can use that on a 32-bit
architecture with 64-bit time_t.
An open question is what should happen to actual times past y2038, as
they are now truncated to the last valid date when sent to user space,
and interpreted as pre-1970 times when a timestamp with the MSB set is
read back into the kernel. Alternatively, we could change the new
timespec64_to_coda()/coda_to_timespec64() functions to use a different
interpretation and extend the available range further to the future by
disallowing past timestamps. This would require more changes in the
user space side though.

Once upon a time, commit 2cac0c00a6cd ("ovl: get exclusive ownership on
upper/work dirs") in v4.13 added some sanity checks on overlayfs layers.
This change caused a docker regression. The root cause was mount leaks
by docker, which as far as I know, still exist.
To mitigate the regression, commit 85fdee1eef1a ("ovl: fix regression
caused by exclusive upper/work dir protection") in v4.14 turned the
mount errors into warnings for the default index=off configuration.
Recently, commit 146d62e5a586 ("ovl: detect overlapping layers") in
v5.2, re-introduced exclusive upper/work dir checks regardless of
index=off configuration.
This changes the status quo and mount leak related bug reports have
started to re-surface. Restore the status quo to fix the regressions.
To clarify, index=off does NOT relax overlapping layers check for this
ovelayfs mount. index=off only relaxes exclusive upper/work dir checks
with another overlayfs mount.
To cover the part of overlapping layers detection that used the
exclusive upper/work dir checks to detect overlap with self upper/work
dir, add a trap also on the work base dir.

The two files there describes a Kernel API feature, used to
support early userspace stuff. Prepare for moving them to
the kernel API book by converting to ReST format.
The conversion itself was quite trivial: just add/mark a few
titles as such, add a literal block markup, add a table markup
and a few blank lines, in order to make Sphinx to properly parse it.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this round, we've introduced native swap file support which can
exploit DIO, enhanced existing checkpoint=disable feature with
additional mount option to tune the triggering condition, and allowed
user to preallocate physical blocks in a pinned file which will be
useful to avoid f2fs fragmentation in append-only workloads. In
addition, we've fixed subtle quota corruption issue.
Enhancements:
- add swap file support which uses DIO
- allocate blocks for pinned file
- allow SSR and mount option to enhance checkpoint=disable
- enhance IPU IOs
- add more sanity checks such as memory boundary access
Bug fixes:
- quota corruption in very corner case of error-injected SPO case
- fix root_reserved on remount and some wrong counts
- add missing fsck flag
Some patches were also introduced to clean up ambiguous i_flags and
debugging messages codes"

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
"In this release there are a significant amounts of consolidations and
cleanups in the log code; restructuring of the log to issue struct
bios directly; new bulkstat ioctls to return v5 fs inode information
(and fix all the padding problems of the old ioctl); the beginnings of
multithreaded inode walks (e.g. quotacheck); and a reduction in memory
usage in the online scrub code leading to reduced runtimes.
- Refactor inode geometry calculation into a single structure instead
of open-coding pieces everywhere.
- Add online repair to build options.
- Remove unnecessary function call flags and functions.
- Claim maintainership of various loose xfs documentation and header
files.
- Use struct bio directly for log buffer IOs instead of struct
xfs_buf.
- Reduce log item boilerplate code requirements.
- Merge log item code spread across too many files.
- Further distinguish between log item commits and cancellations.
- Various small cleanups to the ag small allocator.
- Support cgroup-aware writeback
- libxfs refactoring for mkfs cleanup
- Remove unneeded #includes
- Fix a memory allocation miscalculation in the new log bio code
- Fix bisection problems
- Fix a crash in ioend processing caused by tripping over freeing of
preallocated transactions
- Split out a generic inode walk mechanism from the bulkstat code,
hook up all the internal users to use the walking code, then clean
up bulkstat to serve only the bulkstat ioctls.
- Add a multithreaded iwalk implementation to speed up quotacheck on
fast storage with many CPUs.
- Remove unnecessary return values in logging teardown functions.
- Supplement the bstat and inogrp structures with new bulkstat and
inumbers structures that have all the fields we need for v5
filesystem features and none of the padding problems of their
predecessors.
- Wire up new ioctls that use the new structures with a much simpler
bulk_ireq structure at the head instead of the pointerhappy mess we
had before.
- Enable userspace to constrain bulkstat returns to a single AG or a
single special inode so that we can phase out a lot of geometry
guesswork in userspace.
- Reduce memory consumption and zeroing overhead in extended
attribute scrub code.
- Fix some behavioral regressions in the new bulkstat backend code.

Report separate components (anon, file, and shmem) for PSS in
smaps_rollup.
This helps understand and tune the memory manager behavior in consumer
devices, particularly mobile devices. Many of them (e.g. chromebooks and
Android-based devices) use zram for anon memory, and perform disk reads
for discarded file pages. The difference in latency is large (e.g.
reading a single page from SSD is 30 times slower than decompressing a
zram page on one popular device), thus it is useful to know how much of
the PSS is anon vs. file.
All the information is already present in /proc/pid/smaps, but much more
expensive to obtain because of the large size of that procfs entry.
This patch also removes a small code duplication in smaps_account, which
would have gotten worse otherwise.
Also updated Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt (the smaps section was a
bit stale, and I added a smaps_rollup section) and
Documentation/ABI/testing/procfs-smaps_rollup.

- Add a new /proc/fs/nfsd/clients/ directory which exposes some

- Replace the global duplicate reply cache by a cache per network
namespace; previously, a request in one network namespace could
incorrectly match an entry from another, though we haven't seen
this in production. This is the last remaining container bug that
I'm aware of; at this point you should be able to run separate
nfsd's in each network namespace, each with their own set of
exports, and everything should work.
- Cleanup and modify lock code to show the pid of lockd as the owner
of NLM locks. This is the correct version of the bugfix originally
attempted in b8eee0e90f97 ("lockd: Show pid of lockd for remote
