Pull vfs inode updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Hide inode->i_state behind accessors. Open-coded accesses prevent
asserting they are done correctly. One obvious aspect is locking,
but significantly more can be checked. For example it can be
detected when the code is clearing flags which are already missing,
or is setting flags when it is illegal (e.g., I_FREEING when
->i_count > 0)
- Provide accessors for ->i_state, converts all filesystems using
coccinelle and manual conversions (btrfs, ceph, smb, f2fs, gfs2,
overlayfs, nilfs2, xfs), and makes plain ->i_state access fail to
compile
- Rework I_NEW handling to operate without fences, simplifying the
code after the accessor infrastructure is in place
Cleanups:
- Move wait_on_inode() from writeback.h to fs.h
- Spell out fenced ->i_state accesses with explicit smp_wmb/smp_rmb
for clarity
- Cosmetic fixes to LRU handling
- Push list presence check into inode_io_list_del()
- Touch up predicts in __d_lookup_rcu()
- ocfs2: retire ocfs2_drop_inode() and I_WILL_FREE usage
- Assert on ->i_count in iput_final()
- Assert ->i_lock held in __iget()
Fixes:
- Add missing fences to I_NEW handling"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Cheaper MAY_EXEC handling for path lookup. This elides MAY_WRITE
permission checks during path lookup and adds the
IOP_FASTPERM_MAY_EXEC flag so filesystems like btrfs can avoid
expensive permission work.
- Hide dentry_cache behind runtime const machinery.
- Add German Maglione as virtiofs co-maintainer.
Cleanups:
- Tidy up and inline step_into() and walk_component() for improved
code generation.
- Re-enable IOCB_NOWAIT writes to files. This refactors file
timestamp update logic, fixing a layering bypass in btrfs when
updating timestamps on device files and improving FMODE_NOCMTIME
handling in VFS now that nfsd started using it.
- Path lookup optimizations extracting slowpaths into dedicated
routines and adding branch prediction hints for mntput_no_expire(),
fd_install(), lookup_slow(), and various other hot paths.
- Enable clang's -fms-extensions flag, requiring a JFS rename to
avoid conflicts.
- Remove spurious exports in fs/file_attr.c.
- Stop duplicating union pipe_index declaration. This depends on the
shared kbuild branch that brings in -fms-extensions support which
is merged into this branch.
- Use MD5 library instead of crypto_shash in ecryptfs.
- Use largest_zero_folio() in iomap_dio_zero().
- Replace simple_strtol/strtoul with kstrtoint/kstrtouint in init and
initrd code.
- Various typo fixes.
Fixes:
- Fix emergency sync for btrfs. Btrfs requires an explicit sync_fs()
call with wait == 1 to commit super blocks. The emergency sync path
never passed this, leaving btrfs data uncommitted during emergency
sync.
- Use local kmap in watch_queue's post_one_notification().
- Add hint prints in sb_set_blocksize() for LBS dependency on THP"

Pull iomap updates from Christian Brauner:
"FUSE iomap Support for Buffered Reads:
This adds iomap support for FUSE buffered reads and readahead. This
enables granular uptodate tracking with large folios so only
non-uptodate portions need to be read. Also fixes a race condition
with large folios + writeback cache that could cause data corruption
on partial writes followed by reads.
- Refactored iomap read/readahead bio logic into helpers
- Added caller-provided callbacks for read operations
- Moved buffered IO bio logic into new file
- FUSE now uses iomap for read_folio and readahead
Zero Range Folio Batch Support:
Add folio batch support for iomap_zero_range() to handle dirty
folios over unwritten mappings. Fix raciness issues where dirty data
could be lost during zero range operations.
- filemap_get_folios_tag_range() helper for dirty folio lookup
- Optional zero range dirty folio processing
- XFS fills dirty folios on zero range of unwritten mappings
- Removed old partial EOF zeroing optimization
DIO Write Completions from Interrupt Context:
Restore pre-iomap behavior where pure overwrite completions run
inline rather than being deferred to workqueue. Reduces context
switches for high-performance workloads like ScyllaDB.
- Removed unused IOCB_DIO_CALLER_COMP code
- Error completions always run in user context (fixes zonefs)
- Reworked REQ_FUA selection logic
- Inverted IOMAP_DIO_INLINE_COMP to IOMAP_DIO_OFFLOAD_COMP
Buffered IO Cleanups:
Some performance and code clarity improvements:
- Replace manual bitmap scanning with find_next_bit()
- Simplify read skip logic for writes
- Optimize pending async writeback accounting
- Better variable naming
- Documentation for iomap_finish_folio_write() requirements
Misaligned Vectors for Zoned XFS:
Enables sub-block aligned vectors in XFS always-COW mode for zoned
devices via new IOMAP_DIO_FSBLOCK_ALIGNED flag.
Bug Fixes:
- Allocate s_dio_done_wq for async reads (fixes syzbot report after
error completion changes)
- Fix iomap_read_end() for already uptodate folios (regression fix)"

Support for block sizes greater than the page size depends on large
folios, which in turn require CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE to be enabled.
Because the code is wrapped in multiple layers of abstraction, this
dependency is rather obscure, so users may not realize it and may be
unsure how to enable LBS.
As suggested by Theodore, I have added hint messages in sb_set_blocksize
so that users can distinguish whether a mount failure with block size
larger than page size is due to lack of filesystem support or the absence
of CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.

When sb_min_blocksize() returns 0 and the return value is not checked,
it may lead to a situation where sb->s_blocksize is 0 when
accessing the filesystem super block. After commit a64e5a596067bd
("bdev: add back PAGE_SIZE block size validation for
sb_set_blocksize()"), this becomes more likely to happen when the
block device’s logical_block_size is larger than PAGE_SIZE and the
filesystem is unformatted. Add the __must_check attribute to ensure
callers always check the return value.

Add caller-provided callbacks for read and readahead so that it can be
used generically, especially by filesystems that are not block-based.
In particular, this:
* Modifies the read and readahead interface to take in a
struct iomap_read_folio_ctx that is publicly defined as:
struct iomap_read_folio_ctx {
const struct iomap_read_ops *ops;
struct folio *cur_folio;
struct readahead_control *rac;
void *read_ctx;
};
where struct iomap_read_ops is defined as:
struct iomap_read_ops {
int (*read_folio_range)(const struct iomap_iter *iter,
struct iomap_read_folio_ctx *ctx,
size_t len);
void (*read_submit)(struct iomap_read_folio_ctx *ctx);
};
read_folio_range() reads in the folio range and is required by the
caller to provide. read_submit() is optional and is used for
submitting any pending read requests.
* Modifies existing filesystems that use iomap for read and readahead to
use the new API, through the new statically inlined helpers
iomap_bio_read_folio() and iomap_bio_readahead(). There is no change
in functionality for those filesystems.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
- Fix dma alignment for PI
- Fix selinux bogosity with nbd, where sendmsg would get rejected
* tag 'block-6.18-20251023' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux:
block: require LBA dma_alignment when using PI
nbd: override creds to kernel when calling sock_{send,recv}msg()
|
|
The block layer PI generation / verification code expects the bio_vecs
to have at least LBA size (or more correctly integrity internal)
granularity. With the direct I/O alignment relaxation in 2022, user
space can now feed bios with less alignment than that, leading to
scribbling outside the PI buffers. Apparently this wasn't noticed so far
because none of the tests generate such buffers, but since 851c4c96db00
("xfs: implement XFS_IOC_DIOINFO in terms of vfs_getattr"), xfstests
generic/013 by default generates such I/O now that the relaxed alignment
is advertised by the XFS_IOC_DIOINFO ioctl.
Fix this by increasing the required alignment when using PI, although
handling arbitrary alignment in the long run would be even nicer.

Remove the acquisition and release of q->elevator_lock in the

elevator lock is no longer needed in these code paths since commit
78c271344b6f ("block: move wbt_enable_default() out of queue freezing
from sched ->exit()") which introduces `disk->rqos_state_mutex` for
protecting wbt state change, and not necessary to abuse elevator_lock
for this purpose.
This change helps to solve the lockdep warning reported from Yu Kuai[1].
Pass blktests/throtl with lockdep enabled.

- Add support for a lockless bitmap.
A key feature for the new bitmap are that the IO fastpath is
lockless. If a user issues lots of write IO to the same bitmap
bit in a short time, only the first write has additional overhead
to update bitmap bit, no additional overhead for the following
writes.
By supporting only resync or recover written data, means in the
case creating new array or replacing with a new disk, there is no
need to do a full disk resync/recovery.

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
- Store ring provided buffers locally for the users, rather than stuff
them into struct io_kiocb.
These types of buffers must always be fully consumed or recycled in
the current context, and leaving them in struct io_kiocb is hence not
a good ideas as that struct has a vastly different life time.
Basically just an architecture cleanup that can help prevent issues
with ring provided buffers in the future.
- Support for mixed CQE sizes in the same ring.
Before this change, a CQ ring either used the default 16b CQEs, or it
was setup with 32b CQE using IORING_SETUP_CQE32. For use cases where
a few 32b CQEs were needed, this caused everything else to use big
CQEs. This is wasteful both in terms of memory usage, but also memory
bandwidth for the posted CQEs.
With IORING_SETUP_CQE_MIXED, applications may use request types that
post both normal 16b and big 32b CQEs on the same ring.
- Add helpers for async data management, to make it harder for opcode
handlers to mess it up.
- Add support for multishot for uring_cmd, which ublk can use. This
helps improve efficiency, by providing a persistent request type that
can trigger multiple CQEs.
- Add initial support for ring feature querying.
We had basic support for probe operations, but the API isn't great.
Rather than expand that, add support for QUERY which is easily
expandable and can cover a lot more cases than the existing probe
support. This will help applications get a better idea of what
operations are supported on a given host.
- zcrx improvements from Pavel:
- Improve refill entry alignment for better caching
- Various cleanups, especially around deduplicating normal
memory vs dmabuf setup.
- Generalisation of the niov size (Patch 12). It's still hard
coded to PAGE_SIZE on init, but will let the user to specify
the rx buffer length on setup.
- Syscall / synchronous bufer return. It'll be used as a slow
fallback path for returning buffers when the refill queue is
full. Useful for tolerating slight queue size misconfiguration
or with inconsistent load.
- Accounting more memory to cgroups.
- Additional independent cleanups that will also be useful for
mutli-area support.

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a larger set of changes around the generic namespace
infrastructure of the kernel.
Each specific namespace type (net, cgroup, mnt, ...) embedds a struct
ns_common which carries the reference count of the namespace and so
on.
We open-coded and cargo-culted so many quirks for each namespace type
that it just wasn't scalable anymore. So given there's a bunch of new
changes coming in that area I've started cleaning all of this up.
The core change is to make it possible to correctly initialize every
namespace uniformly and derive the correct initialization settings
from the type of the namespace such as namespace operations, namespace
type and so on. This leaves the new ns_common_init() function with a
single parameter which is the specific namespace type which derives
the correct parameters statically. This also means the compiler will
yell as soon as someone does something remotely fishy.
The ns_common_init() addition also allows us to remove ns_alloc_inum()
and drops any special-casing of the initial network namespace in the
network namespace initialization code that Linus complained about.
Another part is reworking the reference counting. The reference
counting was open-coded and copy-pasted for each namespace type even
though they all followed the same rules. This also removes all open
accesses to the reference count and makes it private and only uses a
very small set of dedicated helpers to manipulate them just like we do
for e.g., files.
In addition this generalizes the mount namespace iteration
infrastructure introduced a few cycles ago. As reminder, the vfs makes
it possible to iterate sequentially and bidirectionally through all
mount namespaces on the system or all mount namespaces that the caller
holds privilege over. This allow userspace to iterate over all mounts
in all mount namespaces using the listmount() and statmount() system
call.
Each mount namespace has a unique identifier for the lifetime of the
systems that is exposed to userspace. The network namespace also has a
unique identifier working exactly the same way. This extends the
concept to all other namespace types.
The new nstree type makes it possible to lookup namespaces purely by
their identifier and to walk the namespace list sequentially and
bidirectionally for all namespace types, allowing userspace to iterate
through all namespaces. Looking up namespaces in the namespace tree
works completely locklessly.
This also means we can move the mount namespace onto the generic
infrastructure and remove a bunch of code and members from struct
mnt_namespace itself.
There's a bunch of stuff coming on top of this in the future but for
now this uses the generic namespace tree to extend a concept
introduced first for pidfs a few cycles ago. For a while now we have
supported pidfs file handles for pidfds. This has proven to be very
useful.
This extends the concept to cover namespaces as well. It is possible
to encode and decode namespace file handles using the common
name_to_handle_at() and open_by_handle_at() apis.
As with pidfs file handles, namespace file handles are exhaustive,
meaning it is not required to actually hold a reference to nsfs in
able to decode aka open_by_handle_at() a namespace file handle.
Instead the FD_NSFS_ROOT constant can be passed which will let the
kernel grab a reference to the root of nsfs internally and thus decode
the file handle.
Namespaces file descriptors can already be derived from pidfds which
means they aren't subject to overmount protection bugs. IOW, it's
irrelevant if the caller would not have access to an appropriate
/proc/<pid>/ns/ directory as they could always just derive the
namespace based on a pidfd already.
It has the same advantage as pidfds. It's possible to reliably and for
the lifetime of the system refer to a namespace without pinning any
resources and to compare them trivially.
Permission checking is kept simple. If the caller is located in the
namespace the file handle refers to they are able to open it otherwise
they must hold privilege over the owning namespace of the relevant
namespace.
The namespace file handle layout is exposed as uapi and has a stable
and extensible format. For now it simply contains the namespace
identifier, the namespace type, and the inode number. The stable
format means that userspace may construct its own namespace file
handles without going through name_to_handle_at() as they are already
allowed for pidfs and cgroup file handles"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Add "initramfs_options" parameter to set initramfs mount options.
This allows to add specific mount options to the rootfs to e.g.,
limit the memory size
- Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2()
Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2. This flag prevents the SIGPIPE
signal from being raised when writing on disconnected pipes or
sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and
converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets
- Allow to pass pid namespace as procfs mount option
Ever since the introduction of pid namespaces, procfs has had very
implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs
mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active
pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has
been constructed)
This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was
required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns
of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include:
* In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes
creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user
namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested
containers would fail to mount procfs)
But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot
just one-shot this using mount(2)
* Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container
before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues
in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in
the pidns can interact with your container runtime process)
While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an
issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind
of unfortunate
Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to
just specify the pidns they want. So this pull request contains
changes to implement a new "pidns" argument which can be set
using fsconfig(2):
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);
or classic mount(2) / mount(8):
// mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");

Root cause is that queue_usage_counter is grabbed with rq_qos_mutex
held in blkg_conf_prep(), while queue should be freezed before
rq_qos_mutex from other context.
The blk_queue_enter() from blkg_conf_prep() is used to protect against
policy deactivation, which is already protected with blkcg_mutex, hence
convert blk_queue_enter() to blkcg_mutex to fix this problem. Meanwhile,
consider that blkcg_mutex is held after queue is freezed from policy
deactivation, also convert blkg_alloc() to use GFP_NOIO.

blk_mq_free_tags() can be called after blk_mq_init_tags(), while
tags->page_list is still not initialized, causing null-ptr-deref.
Fix this problem by initializing tags->page_list at blk_mq_init_tags(),
meanwhile, also free tags directly from error path because there is no
srcu barrier.

Commit 79525b51acc1 ("io_uring: fix nvme's 32b cqes on mixed cq") split
out a separate io_uring_cmd_done32() helper for ->uring_cmd()
implementations that return 32-byte CQEs. The res2 value passed to
io_uring_cmd_done() is now unused because __io_uring_cmd_done() ignores
it when is_cqe32 is passed as false. So drop the parameter from
io_uring_cmd_done() to simplify the callers and clarify that it's not
possible to return an extra value beyond the 32-bit CQE result.

A recent commit skipped dumping the usual "attempt to access beyond end
of device" message if the device size is 0 sectors, as that's a common
pattern for devices that have been hot removed. But while it stopped
that message, it also prevented returning -EIO for that condition.
Reinstate the -EIO return, while retaining the quiet operation for
triggering EOD for a device with 0 sectors.

Tightening the throttle activation check in blk_throtl_activated() to
require both q->td presence and policy bit set introduced a memory leak
during disk release:
blkg_destroy_all() clears the policy bit first during queue deactivation,
causing subsequent blk_throtl_exit() to skip throtl_data cleanup when
blk_throtl_activated() fails policy check.
Idealy we should avoid modifying blk_throtl_exit() activation check because
it's intuitive that blk-throtl start from blk_throtl_init() and end in
blk_throtl_exit(). However, call blk_throtl_exit() before
blkg_destroy_all() will make a long term deadlock problem easier to
trigger[1], hence fix this problem by checking if q->td is NULL from
blk_throtl_exit(), and remove policy deactivation as well since it's
useless.

blk_validate_atomic_write_limits() ensures that any boundary fits into
and is aligned to any chunk size.
However, it should also be possible to fit the chunk size into any
boundary. That check is already made in
blk_stack_atomic_writes_boundary_head().
Relax the check in blk_validate_atomic_write_limits() by reusing (and
renaming) blk_stack_atomic_writes_boundary_head().

Atomic writes support may not always be possible when stacking devices
which support atomic writes. Such as case is a different atomic write
boundary between stacked devices (which is not supported).
In the case that atomic writes cannot supported, the top device queue HW
limits are set to 0.
However, in blk_stack_atomic_writes_limits(), we detect that we are
stacking the first bottom device by checking the top device
atomic_write_hw_max value == 0. This get confused with the case of atomic
writes not supported, above.
Make the distinction between stacking the first bottom device and no
atomics supported by initializing stacked device atomic_write_hw_max =
UINT_MAX and checking that for stacking the first bottom device.

Noticed a 4% increase in performance on a commercial NVMe SSD which does
not support OP_WRITE_ZEROES. The device's MDTS was 128K. The performance
gains might be bigger if the device supports bigger MDTS.

request_queue->nr_requests can be changed by:
a) switch elevator by updating nr_hw_queues
b) switch elevator by elevator sysfs attribute
c) configue queue sysfs attribute nr_requests
Current lock order is:
1) update_nr_hwq_lock, case a,b
2) freeze_queue
3) elevator_lock, case a,b,c
And update nr_requests is seriablized by elevator_lock() already,
however, in the case c, we'll have to allocate new sched_tags if
nr_requests grow, and do this with elevator_lock held and queue
freezed has the risk of deadlock.
Hence use update_nr_hwq_lock instead, make it possible to allocate
memory if tags grow, meanwhile also prevent nr_requests to be changed
concurrently.

queue_requests_store() is the only caller of

only caller of blk_mq_tag_update_depth(), however, they all have
checkings for nr_requests input by user.
Make code cleaner by moving all the checkings to the top function:
1) nr_requests > reserved tags;
2) if there is elevator, 4 <= nr_requests <= 2048;
3) if elevator is none, 4 <= nr_requests <= tag_set->queue_depth;
Meanwhile, case 2 is the only case tags can grow and -ENOMEM might be
