Fscache has an optimisation by which reads from the cache are skipped
until we know that (a) there's data there to be read and (b) that data
isn't entirely covered by pages resident in the netfs pagecache. This is
done with two flags manipulated by fscache_note_page_release():
if (...
test_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_HAVE_DATA, &cookie->flags) &&
test_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ, &cookie->flags))
clear_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ, &cookie->flags);
where the NO_DATA_TO_READ flag causes cachefiles_prepare_read() to
indicate that netfslib should download from the server or clear the page
instead.
The fscache_note_page_release() function is intended to be called from
->releasepage() - but that only gets called if PG_private or PG_private_2
is set - and currently the former is at the discretion of the network
filesystem and the latter is only set whilst a page is being written to
the cache, so sometimes we miss clearing the optimisation.
Fix this by following Willy's suggestion[1] and adding an address_space
flag, AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS, that causes filemap_release_folio() to always call
->release_folio() if it's set, even if PG_private or PG_private_2 aren't
set.
Note that this would require folio_test_private() and page_has_private() to
become more complicated. To avoid that, in the places[*] where these are
used to conditionalise calls to filemap_release_folio() and
try_to_release_page(), the tests are removed the those functions just
jumped to unconditionally and the test is performed there.
[*] There are some exceptions in vmscan.c where the check guards more than
just a call to the releaser. I've added a function, folio_needs_release()
to wrap all the checks for that.
AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS should be set if a non-NULL cookie is obtained from
fscache and cleared in ->evict_inode() before truncate_inode_pages_final()
is called.
Additionally, the FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ flag needs to be cleared
and the optimisation cancelled if a cachefiles object already contains data
when we open it.

Merge tag 'v6.5/vfs.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs file handling updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains Amir's work to fix a long-standing problem where an
unprivileged overlayfs mount can be used to avoid fanotify permission
events that were requested for an inode or superblock on the
underlying filesystem.
Some background about files opened in overlayfs. If a file is opened
in overlayfs @file->f_path will refer to a "fake" path. What this
means is that while @file->f_inode will refer to inode of the
underlying layer, @file->f_path refers to an overlayfs
{dentry,vfsmount} pair. The reasons for doing this are out of scope
here but it is the reason why the vfs has been providing the
open_with_fake_path() helper for overlayfs for very long time now. So
nothing new here.
This is for sure not very elegant and everyone including the overlayfs
maintainers agree. Improving this significantly would involve more
fragile and potentially rather invasive changes.
In various codepaths access to the path of the underlying filesystem
is needed for such hybrid file. The best example is fsnotify where
this becomes security relevant. Passing the overlayfs
@file->f_path->dentry will cause fsnotify to skip generating fsnotify
events registered on the underlying inode or superblock.
To fix this we extend the vfs provided open_with_fake_path() concept
for overlayfs to create a backing file container that holds the real
path and to expose a helper that can be used by relevant callers to
get access to the path of the underlying filesystem through the new
file_real_path() helper. This pattern is similar to what we do in
d_real() and d_real_inode().
The first beneficiary is fsnotify and fixes the security sensitive
problem mentioned above.
There's a couple of nice cleanups included as well.
Over time, the old open_with_fake_path() helper added specifically for
overlayfs a long time ago started to get used in other places such as
cachefiles. Even though cachefiles have nothing to do with hybrid
files.
The only reason cachefiles used that concept was that files opened
with open_with_fake_path() aren't charged against the caller's open
file limit by raising FMODE_NOACCOUNT. It's just mere coincidence that
both overlayfs and cachefiles need to ensure to not overcharge the
caller for their internal open calls.
So this work disentangles FMODE_NOACCOUNT use cases and backing file
use-cases by adding the FMODE_BACKING flag which indicates that the
file can be used to retrieve the backing file of another filesystem.
(Fyi, Jens will be sending you a really nice cleanup from Christoph
that gets rid of 3 FMODE_* flags otherwise this would be the last
fmode_t bit we'd be using.)
So now overlayfs becomes the sole user of the renamed
open_with_fake_path() helper which is now named backing_file_open().
For internal kernel users such as cachefiles that are only interested
in FMODE_NOACCOUNT but not in FMODE_BACKING we add a new
kernel_file_open() helper which opens a file without being charged
against the caller's open file limit. All new helpers are properly
documented and clearly annotated to mention their special uses.
We also rename vfs_tmpfile_open() to kernel_tmpfile_open() to clearly
distinguish it from vfs_tmpfile() and align it the other kernel_*()
internal helpers"
* tag 'v6.5/vfs.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
ovl: enable fsnotify events on underlying real files
fs: use backing_file container for internal files with "fake" f_path
fs: move kmem_cache_zalloc() into alloc_empty_file*() helpers
fs: use a helper for opening kernel internal files
fs: rename {vfs,kernel}_tmpfile_open()
cachefiles uses kernel_open_tmpfile() to open kernel internal tmpfile
without accounting for nr_files.
cachefiles uses open_with_fake_path() for the same reason without the
need for a fake path.
Fork open_with_fake_path() to kernel_file_open() which only does the
noaccount part and use it in cachefiles.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.
Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

Use the vfs_tmpfile_open() helper instead of doing tmpfile creation and
opening separately.
The only minor difference is that previously no permission checking was
done, while vfs_tmpfile_open() will call may_open() with zero access mask
(i.e. no access is checked). Even if this would make a difference with
callers caps (don't see how it could, even in the LSM codepaths) cachfiles
raises caps before performing the tmpfile creation, so this extra
permission check will not result in any regression.

Fscache/CacheFiles used to serve as a local cache for a remote
networking fs. A new on-demand read mode will be introduced for
CacheFiles, which can boost the scenario where on-demand read semantics
are needed, e.g. container image distribution.
The essential difference between these two modes is seen when a cache
miss occurs: In the original mode, the netfs will fetch the data from
the remote server and then write it to the cache file; in on-demand
read mode, fetching the data and writing it into the cache is delegated
to a user daemon.
As the first step, notify the user daemon when looking up cookie. In
this case, an anonymous fd is sent to the user daemon, through which the
user daemon can write the fetched data to the cache file. Since the user
daemon may move the anonymous fd around, e.g. through dup(), an object
ID uniquely identifying the cache file is also attached.
Also add one advisory flag (FSCACHE_ADV_WANT_CACHE_SIZE) suggesting that
the cache file size shall be retrieved at runtime. This helps the
scenario where one cache file contains multiple netfs files, e.g. for
the purpose of deduplication. In this case, netfs itself has no idea the
size of the cache file, whilst the user daemon should give the hint on
it.

The various vfs_*() helpers are called by filesystems or by the vfs
itself to perform core operations such as create, link, mkdir, mknod, rename,
rmdir, tmpfile and unlink. Enable them to handle idmapped mounts. If the
inode is accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the
mount's user namespace and pass it down. Afterwards the checks and
operations are identical to non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user
namespace is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see
identical behavior as before.

get_seconds() returns an unsigned long can overflow on some architectures

a a 32-bit integer, which will overflow in year 2106 on all architectures.
As confirmed by David Howells, the overflow probably isn't harmful
in the end, since the timestamps are only used to make the file names
unique, but they don't strictly have to be in monotonically increasing
order since the files only exist in order to be deleted as quickly
as possible.

the victim might've been rmdir'ed just before the lock_rename();
unlike the normal callers, we do not look the source up after the
parents are locked - we know it beforehand and just recheck that it's
still the child of what used to be its parent. Unfortunately,
the check is too weak - we don't spot a dead directory since its
->d_parent is unchanged, dentry is positive, etc. So we sail all
the way to ->rename(), with hosting filesystems _not_ expecting
to be asked renaming an rmdir'ed subdirectory.
The fix is easy, fortunately - the lock on parent is sufficient for
making IS_DEADDIR() on child safe.

In cachefiles_mark_object_active(), the new object is marked active and

we go round again and try to re-mark the object as being active - but it's
already marked active from the first time we went through and a BUG is

Fix this by clearing the CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE flag before we try again.

[Impact]
Oops during heavy NFS + FSCache + Cachefiles
CacheFiles: Error: Overlong wait for old active object to go away.

[Cause]
In a heavily loaded system with big files being read and truncated, an
fscache object for a cookie is being dropped and a new object being
looked. The new object being looked for has to wait for the old object
to go away before the new object is moved to active state.
[Fix]
Clear the flag 'CACHEFILES_OBJECT_ACTIVE' for the new object when
retrying the object lookup.
[Testcase]
Have run ~100 hours of NFS stress tests and have not seen this bug recur.

Attach copies of the index key and auxiliary data to the fscache cookie so
that:
(1) The callbacks to the netfs for this stuff can be eliminated. This
can simplify things in the cache as the information is still
available, even after the cache has relinquished the cookie.
(2) Simplifies the locking requirements of accessing the information as we
don't have to worry about the netfs object going away on us.
(3) The cache can do lazy updating of the coherency information on disk.
As long as the cache is flushed before reboot/poweroff, there's no
need to update the coherency info on disk every time it changes.
(4) Cookies can be hashed or put in a tree as the index key is easily
available. This allows:
(a) Checks for duplicate cookies can be made at the top fscache layer
rather than down in the bowels of the cache backend.
(b) Caching can be added to a netfs object that has a cookie if the
cache is brought online after the netfs object is allocated.
A certain amount of space is made in the cookie for inline copies of the
data, but if it won't fit there, extra memory will be allocated for it.
The downside of this is that live cache operation requires more memory.

Rename:
wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t
'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.
Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

Right now, various places in the kernel check for the existence of
getxattr, setxattr, and removexattr inode operations and directly call
those operations. Switch to helper functions and test for the IOP_XATTR
flag instead.

An NULL-pointer dereference happens in cachefiles_mark_object_inactive()
when it tries to read i_blocks so that it can tell the cachefilesd daemon
how much space it's making available.
The problem is that cachefiles_drop_object() calls
cachefiles_mark_object_inactive() after calling cachefiles_delete_object()
because the object being marked active staves off attempts to (re-)use the
file at that filename until after it has been deleted. This means that
d_inode is NULL by the time we come to try to access it.
To fix the problem, have the caller of cachefiles_mark_object_inactive()
supply the number of blocks freed up.
Without this, the following oops may occur:

Provide read-and-reset objects- and blocks-released counters for cachefilesd
to use to work out whether there's anything new that can be culled.
One of the problems cachefilesd has is that if all the objects in the cache
are pinned by inodes lying dormant in the kernel inode cache, there isn't
anything for it to cull. In such a case, it just spins around walking the
filesystem tree and scanning for something to cull. This eats up a lot of
CPU time.
By telling cachefilesd if there have been any releases, the daemon can
sleep until there is the possibility of something to do.
cachefilesd finds this information by the following means:
(1) When the control fd is read, the kernel presents a list of values of
interest. "freleased=N" and "breleased=N" are added to this list to
indicate the number of files released and number of blocks released
since the last read call. At this point the counters are reset.
(2) POLLIN is signalled if the number of files released becomes greater
than 0.
Note that by 'released' it just means that the kernel has released its
interest in those files for the moment, not necessarily that the files
should be deleted from the cache.

Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle

cachefiles requires that s_blocksize in the cache is not greater than
PAGE_SIZE, and performs the check every time a block is accessed.
Move the test to the place where the file is "opened", where other
file-validity tests are performed.

Count the number of objects that get culled by the cache backend and the
number of objects that the cache backend declines to instantiate due to lack
of space in the cache.
These numbers are made available through /proc/fs/fscache/stats
