Pull overlayfs update from Miklos Szeredi: - Copy up immutable/append/sync/noatime attributes (Amir Goldstein) - Improve performance by enabling RCU lookup. - Misc fixes and improvements The reason this touches so many files is that the ->get_acl() method now gets a "bool rcu" argument. The ->get_acl() API was updated based on comments from Al and Linus: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/CAJfpeguQxpd6Wgc0Jd3ks77zcsAv_bn0q17L3VNnnmPKu11t8A@mail.gmail.com/ * tag 'ovl-update-5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs: ovl: enable RCU'd ->get_acl() vfs: add rcu argument to ->get_acl() callback ovl: fix BUG_ON() in may_delete() when called from ovl_cleanup() ovl: use kvalloc in xattr copy-up ovl: update ctime when changing fileattr ovl: skip checking lower file's i_writecount on truncate ovl: relax lookup error on mismatch origin ftype ovl: do not set overlay.opaque for new directories ovl: add ovl_allow_offline_changes() helper ovl: disable decoding null uuid with redirect_dir ovl: consistent behavior for immutable/append-only inodes ovl: copy up sync/noatime fileattr flags ovl: pass ovl_fs to ovl_check_setxattr() fs: add generic helper for filling statx attribute flags

mm: Protect operations adding pages to page cache with invalidate_lock

2021-07-13T11:14:27Z

Currently, serializing operations such as page fault, read, or readahead against hole punching is rather difficult. The basic race scheme is like: fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) read / fault / .. truncate_inode_pages_range() Now the problem is in this way read / page fault / readahead can instantiate pages in page cache with potentially stale data (if blocks get quickly reused). Avoiding this race is not simple - page locks do not work because we want to make sure there are *no* pages in given range. inode->i_rwsem does not work because page fault happens under mmap_sem which ranks below inode->i_rwsem. Also using it for reads makes the performance for mixed read-write workloads suffer. So create a new rw_semaphore in the address_space - invalidate_lock - that protects adding of pages to page cache for page faults / reads / readahead. Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

vfs: add fileattr ops

2021-04-12T13:04:23Z

There's a substantial amount of boilerplate in filesystems handling FS_IOC_[GS]ETFLAGS/ FS_IOC_FS[GS]ETXATTR ioctls. Also due to userspace buffers being involved in the ioctl API this is difficult to stack, as shown by overlayfs issues related to these ioctls. Introduce a new internal API named "fileattr" (fsxattr can be confused with xattr, xflags is inappropriate, since this is more than just flags). There's significant overlap between flags and xflags and this API handles the conversions automatically, so filesystems may choose which one to use. In ->fileattr_get() a hint is provided to the filesystem whether flags or xattr are being requested by userspace, but in this series this hint is ignored by all filesystems, since generating all the attributes is cheap. If a filesystem doesn't implemement the fileattr API, just fall back to f_op->ioctl(). When all filesystems are converted, the fallback can be removed. 32bit compat ioctls are now handled by the generic code as well. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi

acl: handle idmapped mounts

2021-01-24T13:27:17Z

The posix acl permission checking helpers determine whether a caller is privileged over an inode according to the acls associated with the inode. Add helpers that make it possible to handle acls on idmapped mounts. The vfs and the filesystems targeted by this first iteration make use of posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user() and posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user() to translate basic posix access and default permissions such as the ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP type according to the initial user namespace (or the superblock's user namespace) to and from the caller's current user namespace. Adapt these two helpers to handle idmapped mounts whereby we either map from or into the mount's user namespace depending on in which direction we're translating. Similarly, cap_convert_nscap() is used by the vfs to translate user namespace and non-user namespace aware filesystem capabilities from the superblock's user namespace to the caller's user namespace. Enable it to handle idmapped mounts by accounting for the mount's user namespace. In addition the fileystems targeted in the first iteration of this patch series make use of the posix_acl_chmod() and, posix_acl_update_mode() helpers. Both helpers perform permission checks on the target inode. Let them handle idmapped mounts. These two helpers are called when posix acls are set by the respective filesystems to handle this case we extend the ->set() method to take an additional user namespace argument to pass the mount's user namespace down.
