Pull copy_struct_from_user() helper from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the copy_struct_from_user() helper which got split out
from the openat2() patchset. It is a generic interface designed to
copy a struct from userspace.
The helper will be especially useful for structs versioned by size of
which we have quite a few. This allows for backwards compatibility,
i.e. an extended struct can be passed to an older kernel, or a legacy
struct can be passed to a newer kernel. For the first case (extended
struct, older kernel) the new fields in an extended struct can be set
to zero and the struct safely passed to an older kernel.
The most obvious benefit is that this helper lets us get rid of
duplicate code present in at least sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(),
and clone3(). More importantly it will also help to ensure that users
implementing versioning-by-size end up with the same core semantics.
This point is especially crucial since we have at least one case where
versioning-by-size is used but with slighly different semantics:
sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(), and clone3() all do do similar
checks to copy_struct_from_user() while rt_sigprocmask(2) always
rejects differently-sized struct arguments.
With this pull request we also switch over sched_setattr(),
perf_event_open(), and clone3() to use the new helper"

Pull clone3/pidfd fixes from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a couple of fixes:
- Fix pidfd selftest compilation (Shuah Kahn)
Due to a false linking instruction in the Makefile compilation for
the pidfd selftests would fail on some systems.
- Fix compilation for glibc on RISC-V systems (Seth Forshee)
In some scenarios linux/uapi/linux/sched.h is included where
__ASSEMBLY__ is defined causing a build failure because struct
clone_args was not guarded by an #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__.
- Add missing clone3() and struct clone_args kernel-doc (Christian Brauner)
clone3() and struct clone_args were missing kernel-docs. (The goal
is to use kernel-doc for any function or type where it's worth it.)
For struct clone_args this also contains a comment about the fact
that it's versioned by size"

Switch clone3() syscall from it's own copying struct clone_args from
userspace to the new dedicated copy_struct_from_user() helper.
The change is very straightforward, and helps unify the syscall
interface for struct-from-userspace syscalls. Additionally, explicitly
define CLONE_ARGS_SIZE_VER0 to match the other users of the
struct-extension pattern.

Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields:
"Highlights:
- Add a new knfsd file cache, so that we don't have to open and close
on each (NFSv2/v3) READ or WRITE. This can speed up read and write
in some cases. It also replaces our readahead cache.
- Prevent silent data loss on write errors, by treating write errors
like server reboots for the purposes of write caching, thus forcing
clients to resend their writes.
- Tweak the code that allocates sessions to be more forgiving, so
that NFSv4.1 mounts are less likely to hang when a server already
has a lot of clients.
- Eliminate an arbitrary limit on NFSv4 ACL sizes; they should now be
limited only by the backend filesystem and the maximum RPC size.
- Allow the server to enforce use of the correct kerberos credentials
when a client reclaims state after a reboot.
And some miscellaneous smaller bugfixes and cleanup"

Pull fuse virtio-fs support from Miklos Szeredi:
"Virtio-fs allows exporting directory trees on the host and mounting
them in guest(s).
This isn't actually a new filesystem, but a glue layer between the
fuse filesystem and a virtio based back-end.
It's similar in functionality to the existing virtio-9p solution, but
significantly faster in benchmarks and has better POSIX compliance.
Further permformance improvements can be achieved by sharing the page
cache between host and guest, allowing for faster I/O and reduced
memory use.
Kata Containers have been including the out-of-tree virtio-fs (with
the shared page cache patches as well) since version 1.7 as an
experimental feature. They have been active in development and plan to
switch from virtio-9p to virtio-fs as their default solution. There
has been interest from other sources as well.
The userspace infrastructure is slated to be merged into qemu once the
kernel part hits mainline.
This was developed by Vivek Goyal, Dave Gilbert and Stefan Hajnoczi"

Commit 415606588c61 ("PTP: introduce new versions of IOCTLs",
2019-09-13) introduced new versions of the PTP ioctls which actually
validate that the flags are acceptable values.
As part of this, it cleared the flags value using a bitwise
and+negation, in an attempt to prevent the old ioctl from accidentally
enabling new features.
This is incorrect for a couple of reasons. First, it results in
accidentally preventing previously working flags on the request ioctl.
By clearing the "valid" flags, we now no longer allow setting the
enable, rising edge, or falling edge flags.
Second, if we add new additional flags in the future, they must not be
set by the old ioctl. (Since the flag wasn't checked before, we could
potentially break userspace programs which sent garbage flag data.
The correct way to resolve this is to check for and clear all but the
originally valid flags.
Create defines indicating which flags are correctly checked and
interpreted by the original ioctls. Use these to clear any bits which
will not be correctly interpreted by the original ioctls.
In the future, new flags must be added to the VALID_FLAGS macros, but
*not* to the V1_VALID_FLAGS macros. In this way, new features may be
exposed over the v2 ioctls, but without breaking previous userspace
which happened to not clear the flags value properly. The old ioctl will
continue to behave the same way, while the new ioctl gains the benefit
of using the flags fields.

When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range for a long
time, it could hint kernel that the pages can be reclaimed instantly but
data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset
eviction so it ends up increasing performance.
This patch introduces the new MADV_PAGEOUT hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_PAGEOUT can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not
expected to be used for a long time so that kernel reclaims *any LRU*
pages instantly. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to
evict proactively.
A note: It doesn't apply SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX LRU page isolation limit
intentionally because it's automatically bounded by PMD size. If PMD
size(e.g., 256) makes some trouble, we could fix it later by limit it to
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX[1].
- man-page material
MADV_PAGEOUT (since Linux x.x)
Do not expect access in the near future so pages in the specified
regions could be reclaimed instantly regardless of memory pressure.
Thus, access in the range after successful operation could cause
major page fault but never lose the up-to-date contents unlike
MADV_DONTNEED. Pages belonging to a shared mapping are only processed
if a write access is allowed for the calling process.
MADV_PAGEOUT cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or
VM_PFNMAP pages.

Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7.
- Background
The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app
from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot
start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold
starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well
as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start.
To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps
should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService.
ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user
could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked
list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by
lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar
to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for
opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements
will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads.
- Problem
Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system.
However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are
good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins
once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall
allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a
cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs.
zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x
times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real
storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark,
resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap.
- Approach
The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to
proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information.
This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages
that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by
reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally,
it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to
optimize memory efficiency.
To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise.
One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is
MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new
options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive
ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to
MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not
currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar
to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not
currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises.
This patch (of 5):
When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could
give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure
happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce
workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance.
This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall.
MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected
to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which
pages to evict early during memory pressure.
It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves
active file page -> inactive file LRU
active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU
Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file
LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic.
MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the
content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero
overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just
minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in
inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for
implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any
longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make
them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean
garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger
cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous
cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file
LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system
doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding
complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat
that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on
anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists.
* man-page material
MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x)
Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed
compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In
contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless
of subsequent writes to pages.
MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP
pages.

It is not possible to get 64-bit results from the passthru commands,
what prevents from getting for the Capabilities (CAP) property value.
As a result, it is not possible to implement IOL's NVMe Conformance
test 4.3 Case 1 for Fabrics targets [1] (page 123).
This issue has been already discussed [2], but without a solution.
This patch solves the problem by adding new ioctls with a new
passthru structure, including 64-bit results. The older ioctls stay
unchanged.

"This is the main pull request for 5.4-rc1 merge window. I don't think
there is anything outstanding so next week should just be fixes, but
we'll see if I missed anything. I landed some fixes earlier in the

There are some fixes pending, but I'd rather get the main merge out of

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

Add a basic file system module for virtio-fs. This does not yet contain
shared data support between host and guest or metadata coherency speedups.
However it is already significantly faster than virtio-9p.
Design Overview
===============
With the goal of designing something with better performance and local file
system semantics, a bunch of ideas were proposed.
- Use fuse protocol (instead of 9p) for communication between guest and
host. Guest kernel will be fuse client and a fuse server will run on
host to serve the requests.
- For data access inside guest, mmap portion of file in QEMU address space
and guest accesses this memory using dax. That way guest page cache is
bypassed and there is only one copy of data (on host). This will also
enable mmap(MAP_SHARED) between guests.
- For metadata coherency, there is a shared memory region which contains
version number associated with metadata and any guest changing metadata
updates version number and other guests refresh metadata on next access.
This is yet to be implemented.
How virtio-fs differs from existing approaches
==============================================
The unique idea behind virtio-fs is to take advantage of the co-location of
the virtual machine and hypervisor to avoid communication (vmexits).
DAX allows file contents to be accessed without communication with the
hypervisor. The shared memory region for metadata avoids communication in
the common case where metadata is unchanged.
By replacing expensive communication with cheaper shared memory accesses,
we expect to achieve better performance than approaches based on network
file system protocols. In addition, this also makes it easier to achieve
local file system semantics (coherency).
These techniques are not applicable to network file system protocols since
the communications channel is bypassed by taking advantage of shared memory
on a local machine. This is why we decided to build virtio-fs rather than
focus on 9P or NFS.
Caching Modes
=============
Like virtio-9p, different caching modes are supported which determine the
coherency level as well. The “cache=FOO” and “writeback” options control
the level of coherence between the guest and host filesystems.
- cache=none
metadata, data and pathname lookup are not cached in guest. They are
always fetched from host and any changes are immediately pushed to host.
- cache=always
metadata, data and pathname lookup are cached in guest and never expire.
- cache=auto
metadata and pathname lookup cache expires after a configured amount of
time (default is 1 second). Data is cached while the file is open
(close to open consistency).
- writeback/no_writeback
These options control the writeback strategy. If writeback is disabled,
then normal writes will immediately be synchronized with the host fs.
If writeback is enabled, then writes may be cached in the guest until
the file is closed or an fsync(2) performed. This option has no effect
on mmap-ed writes or writes going through the DAX mechanism.

Pull USB updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of USB patches for 5.4-rc1.
Two major chunks of code are moving out of the tree and into the
staging directory, uwb and wusb (wireless USB support), because there
are no devices that actually use this protocol anymore, and what we
have today probably doesn't work at all given that the maintainers
left many many years ago. So move it to staging where it will be
removed in a few releases if no one screams.
Other than that, lots of little things. The usual gadget and xhci and
usb serial driver updates, along with a bunch of sysfs file cleanups
due to the driver core changes to support that. Nothing really major,
just constant forward progress.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues"

There's been a few requests for functionality similar to io_getevents()
and epoll_wait(), where the user can specify a timeout for waiting on
events. I deliberately did not add support for this through the system
call initially to avoid overloading the args, but I can see that the use
cases for this are valid.
This adds support for IORING_OP_TIMEOUT. If a user wants to get woken
when waiting for events, simply submit one of these timeout commands
with your wait call (or before). This ensures that the application
sleeping on the CQ ring waiting for events will get woken. The timeout
command is passed in as a pointer to a struct timespec. Timeouts are
relative. The timeout command also includes a way to auto-cancel after
N events has passed.
