commit 618f003199c6188e01472b03cdbba227f1dc5f24 upstream.

static int kthread(void *_create) will return -ENOMEM
or -EINTR in case of internal failure or
kthread_stop() call happens before threadfn call.

To prevent fancy error checking and make code
more straightforward we moved all cleanup code out
of kmmpd threadfn.

Also, dropped struct mmpd_data at all. Now struct super_block
is a threadfn data and struct buffer_head embedded into
struct ext4_sb_info.

<title>ext4: fix rename whiteout with fast commit</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8210bb29c1b66200cff7b25febcf6e39baf49fbf</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds rename whiteout support in fast commits. Note that the
whiteout object that gets created is actually char device. Which
imples, the function ext4_inode_journal_mode(struct inode *inode)
would return "JOURNAL_DATA" for this inode. This has a consequence in
fast commit code that it will make creation of the whiteout object a
fast-commit ineligible behavior and thus will fall back to full
commits. With this patch, this can be observed by running fast commits
with rename whiteout and seeing the stats generated by ext4_fc_stats
tracepoint as follows:

ext4_fc_stats: dev 254:32 fc ineligible reasons:
XATTR:0, CROSS_RENAME:0, JOURNAL_FLAG_CHANGE:0, NO_MEM:0, SWAP_BOOT:0,
RESIZE:0, RENAME_DIR:0, FALLOC_RANGE:0, INODE_JOURNAL_DATA:16;
num_commits:6, ineligible: 6, numblks: 3

So in short, this patch guarantees that in case of rename whiteout, we
fall back to full commits.

Amir mentioned that instead of creating a new whiteout object for
every rename, we can create a static whiteout object with irrelevant
nlink. That will make fast commits to not fall back to full
commit. But until this happens, this patch will ensure correctness by
falling back to full commits.

<title>ext4: shrink race window in ext4_should_retry_alloc()</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=efc61345274d6c7a46a0570efbc916fcbe3e927b'/>
<id>urn:sha1:efc61345274d6c7a46a0570efbc916fcbe3e927b</id>
<content type='text'>
When generic/371 is run on kvm-xfstests using 5.10 and 5.11 kernels, it
fails at significant rates on the two test scenarios that disable
delayed allocation (ext3conv and data_journal) and force actual block
allocation for the fallocate and pwrite functions in the test.  The
failure rate on 5.10 for both ext3conv and data_journal on one test
system typically runs about 85%.  On 5.11, the failure rate on ext3conv
sometimes drops to as low as 1% while the rate on data_journal
increases to nearly 100%.

The observed failures are largely due to ext4_should_retry_alloc()
cutting off block allocation retries when s_mb_free_pending (used to
indicate that a transaction in progress will free blocks) is 0.
However, free space is usually available when this occurs during runs
of generic/371.  It appears that a thread attempting to allocate
blocks is just missing transaction commits in other threads that
increase the free cluster count and reset s_mb_free_pending while
the allocating thread isn't running.  Explicitly testing for free space
availability avoids this race.

The current code uses a post-increment operator in the conditional
expression that determines whether the retry limit has been exceeded.
This means that the conditional expression uses the value of the
retry counter before it's increased, resulting in an extra retry cycle.
The current code actually retries twice before hitting its retry limit
rather than once.

Increasing the retry limit to 3 from the current actual maximum retry
count of 2 in combination with the change described above reduces the
observed failure rate to less that 0.1% on both ext3conv and
data_journal with what should be limited impact on users sensitive to
the overhead caused by retries.

A per filesystem percpu counter exported via sysfs is added to allow
users or developers to track the number of times the retry limit is
exceeded without resorting to debugging methods.  This should provide
some insight into worst case retry behavior.

<title>ext4: support idmapped mounts</title>

<id>urn:sha1:14f3db5542e62bcf6fe088a09760ac52d55306c5</id>
<content type='text'>
Enable idmapped mounts for ext4. All dedicated helpers we need for this
exist. So this basically just means we're passing down the
user_namespace argument from the VFS methods to the relevant helpers.

Let's create simple example where we idmap an ext4 filesystem:

 root@f2-vm:~# truncate -s 5G ext4.img

 root@f2-vm:~# mkfs.ext4 ./ext4.img
 mke2fs 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020)
 Discarding device blocks: done
 Creating filesystem with 1310720 4k blocks and 327680 inodes
 Filesystem UUID: 3fd91794-c6ca-4b0f-9964-289a000919cf
 Superblock backups stored on blocks:
         32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736

 Allocating group tables: done
 Writing inode tables: done
 Creating journal (16384 blocks): done
 Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

 root@f2-vm:~# losetup -f --show ./ext4.img

 # Let's create an idmapped mount at /idmapped1 where we map uid and gid
 # 0 to uid and gid 1000

Let's create another example where we idmap the rootfs filesystem
without a mapping for uid 0 and gid 0:

 # Create an idmapped mount of for a full POSIX range of rootfs under
 # /mnt but without a mapping for uid 0 to reduce attack surface

 root@f2-vm:/# ./mount-idmapped --map-mount b:1:1:65536 / /mnt/

 # Since we don't have a mapping for uid and gid 0 all files owned by
 # uid and gid 0 should show up as uid and gid 65534:
 root@f2-vm:/# ls -al /mnt/

<content type='text'>
Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.

As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

ext4_bio_write_page does not need wbc parameter, since its parameter
io contains the io_wbc field. The io::io_wbc is initialized by
ext4_io_submit_init which is called in ext4_writepages and
ext4_writepage functions prior to ext4_bio_write_page.
Therefor, when ext4_bio_write_page is called, wbc info
has already been included in io parameter.

When filesystem inconsistency is detected with group locked, we
currently try to modify superblock to store error there without
blocking. However this can cause superblock checksum failures (or
DIF/DIX failure) when the superblock is just being written out.

Make error handling code just store error information in ext4_sb_info
structure and copy it to on-disk superblock only in ext4_commit_super().
In case of error happening with group locked, we just postpone the
superblock flushing to a workqueue.

[ Added fixup so that s_first_error_* does not get updated after
  the file system is remounted.
  Also added fix for syzbot failure.  - Ted ]

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this round, we've made more work into per-file compression support.

  For example, F2FS_IOC_GET | SET_COMPRESS_OPTION provides a way to
  change the algorithm or cluster size per file. F2FS_IOC_COMPRESS |
  DECOMPRESS_FILE provides a way to compress and decompress the existing
  normal files manually.

  There is also a new mount option, compress_mode=fs|user, which can
  control who compresses the data.

  Chao also added a checksum feature with a mount option so that
  we are able to detect any corrupted cluster.

  In addition, Daniel contributed casefolding with encryption patch,
  which will be used for Android devices.

  Summary:

  Enhancements:
   - add ioctls and mount option to manage per-file compression feature
   - support casefolding with encryption
   - support checksum for compressed cluster
   - avoid IO starvation by replacing mutex with rwsem
   - add sysfs, max_io_bytes, to control max bio size

  Bug fixes:
   - fix use-after-free issue when compression and fsverity are enabled
   - fix consistency corruption during fault injection test
   - fix data offset for lseek
   - get rid of buffer_head which has 32bits limit in fiemap
   - fix some bugs in multi-partitions support
   - fix nat entry count calculation in shrinker
   - fix some stat information

  And, we've refactored some logics and fix minor bugs as well"
