<content type='text'>
commit be27cd64461c45a6088a91a04eba5cd44e1767ef upstream.

As with the other strings in struct ext4_super_block, s_volume_name is
not NUL terminated. The other strings were marked in commit 072ebb3bffe6
("ext4: add nonstring annotations to ext4.h"). Using strscpy() isn't
the right replacement for strncpy(); it should use memtostr_pad()
instead.

Pull block handle updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Last cycle we changed opening of block devices, and opening a block
  device would return a bdev_handle. This allowed us to implement
  support for restricting and forbidding writes to mounted block
  devices. It was accompanied by converting and adding helpers to
  operate on bdev_handles instead of plain block devices.

  That was already a good step forward but ultimately it isn't necessary
  to have special purpose helpers for opening block devices internally
  that return a bdev_handle.

  Fundamentally, opening a block device internally should just be
  equivalent to opening files. So now all internal opens of block
  devices return files just as a userspace open would. Instead of
  introducing a separate indirection into bdev_open_by_*() via struct
  bdev_handle bdev_file_open_by_*() is made to just return a struct
  file. Opening and closing a block device just becomes equivalent to
  opening and closing a file.

  This all works well because internally we already have a pseudo fs for
  block devices and so opening block devices is simple. There's a few
  places where we needed to be careful such as during boot when the
  kernel is supposed to mount the rootfs directly without init doing it.
  Here we need to take care to ensure that we flush out any asynchronous
  file close. That's what we already do for opening, unpacking, and
  closing the initramfs. So nothing new here.

  The equivalence of opening and closing block devices to regular files
  is a win in and of itself. But it also has various other advantages.
  We can remove struct bdev_handle completely. Various low-level helpers
  are now private to the block layer. Other helpers were simply
  removable completely.

  A follow-up series that is already reviewed build on this and makes it
  possible to remove bdev-&gt;bd_inode and allows various clean ups of the
  buffer head code as well. All places where we stashed a bdev_handle
  now just stash a file and use simple accessors to get to the actual
  block device which was already the case for bdev_handle"

delayed allocated only (not unwritten) one, and making
ext4_map_blocks() can distinguish it, no longer mixing it with holes.

<title>ext4: remove unnecessary parameter "needed" in ext4_discard_preallocations</title>
<updated>2024-01-18T15:52:45Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Kemeng Shi</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=2ffd2a6ad1d3a8213bb5805f45f49098fe615db1'/>
<id>urn:sha1:2ffd2a6ad1d3a8213bb5805f45f49098fe615db1</id>
<content type='text'>
The "needed" controls the number of ext4_prealloc_space to discard in
ext4_discard_preallocations. Function ext4_discard_preallocations is
supposed to discard all non-used preallocated blocks when "needed"
is 0 and now ext4_discard_preallocations is always called with "needed"
= 0. Remove unnecessary parameter "needed" and remove all non-used
preallocated spaces in ext4_discard_preallocations to simplify the
code.

Note: If count of non-used preallocated spaces could be more than
UINT_MAX, there was a memory leak as some non-used preallocated
spaces are left ununsed and this commit will fix it. Otherwise,
there is no behavior change.

     pagetable handling during a subsequent exec(), based upon an
     implementation which Linus suggested

   - More DAMON/DAMOS maintenance and feature work from SeongJae Park i
     the following patch series:

     values'
