No one checks the return value of debugfs_create_u32(), as it's not
needed, so make the return value void, so that no one tries to do so in
the future.

Fix: Christoph Hellwig noticed that some logic I added to
orangefs_file_read_iter introduced a race condition, so he
sent a reversion patch. I had to modify his patch since
reverting at this point broke Orangefs.
Cleanup 1: Christoph Hellwig noticed that we were doing some unnecessary
work in orangefs_flush, so he sent in a patch that removed
the un-needed code.
Cleanup 2: Al Viro told me he had trouble building Orangefs. Orangefs
should be easy to build, even for Al :-). I looked back
at the test server build notes in orangefs.txt, just in case
that's where the trouble really is, and found a couple of
typos and made a couple of clarifications.
Merge Conflict: Stephen Rothwell reported that my modifications to
orangefs.txt caused a merge conflict with orangefs.rst
in Linux Next. I wasn't sure what to do, so I asked,
and Jonathan Corbet said not to worry about it and
just to report it to Linus.

heavy workloads such as tar and rsync. Opt-in with the new nowsync

- multiple blk-mq queues for rbd (Hannes Reinecke and myself). When
the driver was converted to blk-mq, we settled on a single blk-mq
queue because of a global lock in libceph and some other technical
debt. These have since been addressed, so allocate a queue per CPU
to enhance parallelism.

"A single fix from me to correctly handle the size of read-only zone

zonfs: Fix handling of read-only zones
The write pointer of zones in the read-only consition is defined as
invalid by the SCSI ZBC and ATA ZAC specifications. It is thus not
possible to determine the correct size of a read-only zone file on
mount. Fix this by handling read-only zones in the same manner as
offline zones by disabling all accesses to the zone (read and write)
and initializing the inode size of the read-only zone to 0).
For zones found to be in the read-only condition at runtime, only
disable write access to the zone and keep the size of the zone file to
its last updated value to allow the user to recover previously written
data.
Also fix zonefs documentation file to reflect this change.

Changeset 58ad30cf91 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst")
enabled a new feature at Sphinx: it will now generate index for each
document title, plus to each chapter inside it.
There's a drawback, though: one document cannot have two sections
with the same name anymore.
A followup patch will change the logic of autosectionlabel to
avoid most creating references for every single section title,
but still we need to be able to reference the chapters inside
a document.
There are a few places where there are two chapters with the
same name. This patch renames one of the chapters, in order to
avoid symbol conflict within the same document.
PS.: as I don't speach Chinese, I had some help from a friend
(Wen Liu) at the Chinese translation for "publishing patches"

Add an ioctl FS_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_NONCE which retrieves the nonce from
an encrypted file or directory. The nonce is the 16-byte random value
stored in the inode's encryption xattr. It is normally used together
with the master key to derive the inode's actual encryption key.
The nonces are needed by automated tests that verify the correctness of
the ciphertext on-disk. Except for the IV_INO_LBLK_64 case, there's no
way to replicate a file's ciphertext without knowing that file's nonce.
The nonces aren't secret, and the existing ciphertext verification tests
in xfstests retrieve them from disk using debugfs or dump.f2fs. But in
environments that lack these debugging tools, getting the nonces by
manually parsing the filesystem structure would be very hard.
To make this important type of testing much easier, let's just add an
ioctl that retrieves the nonce.

->last_type values are set in 3 places: path_init() (sets to LAST_ROOT),
link_path_walk (LAST_NORM/DOT/DOTDOT) and pick_link (LAST_BIND).
The are checked in walk_component(), lookup_last() and do_last().
They also get copied to the caller by filename_parentat(). In the last
3 cases the value is what we had at the return from link_path_walk().
In case of walk_component() it's either directly downstream from
assignment in link_path_walk() or, when called by lookup_last(), the
value we have at the return from link_path_walk().
The value at the entry into link_path_walk() can survive to return only
if the pathname contains nothing but slashes. Note that pick_link()
never returns such - pure jumps are handled directly. So for the calls
of link_path_walk() for trailing symlinks it does not matter what value
had been there at the entry; the value at the return won't depend upon it.
There are 3 call chains that might have pick_link() storing LAST_BIND:
1) pick_link() from step_into() from walk_component() from
link_path_walk(). In that case we will either be parsing the next
component immediately after return into link_path_walk(), which will
overwrite the ->last_type before anyone has a chance to look at it,
or we'll fail, in which case nobody will be looking at ->last_type at all.
2) pick_link() from step_into() from walk_component() from lookup_last().
The value is never looked at due to the above; it won't affect the value
seen at return from any link_path_walk().
3) pick_link() from step_into() from do_last(). Ditto.
In other words, assignemnt in pick_link() is pointless, and so is
LAST_BIND itself; nothing ever looks at that value. Kill it off.
And make link_path_walk() _always_ assign ->last_type - in the only
case when the value at the entry might survive to the return that value
is always LAST_ROOT, inherited from path_init(). Move that assignment
from path_init() into the beginning of link_path_walk(), to consolidate
the things.
Historical note: LAST_BIND used to be used for the kludge with trailing
pure jump symlinks (extra iteration through the top-level loop).
No point keeping it anymore...

Zonefs is a very simple file system exposing each zone of a zoned block
device as a file.
Unlike a regular file system with native zoned block device support
(e.g. f2fs or the on-going btrfs effort), zonefs does not hide the
sequential write constraint of zoned block devices to the user. As a
result, zonefs is not a POSIX compliant file system. Its goal is to
simplify the implementation of zoned block devices support in
applications by replacing raw block device file accesses with a richer
file based API, avoiding relying on direct block device file ioctls
which may be more obscure to developers.
One example of this approach is the implementation of LSM
(log-structured merge) tree structures (such as used in RocksDB and
LevelDB) on zoned block devices by allowing SSTables to be stored in a
zone file similarly to a regular file system rather than as a range of
sectors of a zoned device. The introduction of the higher level

Pull new zonefs file system from Damien Le Moal:
"Zonefs is a very simple file system exposing each zone of a zoned
block device as a file.
Unlike a regular file system with native zoned block device support
(e.g. f2fs or the on-going btrfs effort), zonefs does not hide the
sequential write constraint of zoned block devices to the user. As a
result, zonefs is not a POSIX compliant file system. Its goal is to
simplify the implementation of zoned block devices support in
applications by replacing raw block device file accesses with a richer
file based API, avoiding relying on direct block device file ioctls
which may be more obscure to developers.
One example of this approach is the implementation of LSM
(log-structured merge) tree structures (such as used in RocksDB and
LevelDB) on zoned block devices by allowing SSTables to be stored in a
zone file similarly to a regular file system rather than as a range of
sectors of a zoned device. The introduction of the higher level
construct "one file is one zone" can help reducing the amount of
changes needed in the application while at the same time allowing the
use of zoned block devices with various programming languages other
than C.

Pull vfs file system parameter updates from Al Viro:
"Saner fs_parser.c guts and data structures. The system-wide registry
of syntax types (string/enum/int32/oct32/.../etc.) is gone and so is
the horror switch() in fs_parse() that would have to grow another case
every time something got added to that system-wide registry.
New syntax types can be added by filesystems easily now, and their
namespace is that of functions - not of system-wide enum members. IOW,
they can be shared or kept private and if some turn out to be widely
useful, we can make them common library helpers, etc., without having
to do anything whatsoever to fs_parse() itself.
And we already get that kind of requests - the thing that finally
pushed me into doing that was "oh, and let's add one for timeouts -
things like 15s or 2h". If some filesystem really wants that, let them
do it. Without somebody having to play gatekeeper for the variants
blessed by direct support in fs_parse(), TYVM.

In this series, we've implemented transparent compression experimentally. It
supports LZO and LZ4, but will add more later as we investigate in the field
more. At this point, the feature doesn't expose compressed space to user
directly in order to guarantee potential data updates later to the space.
Instead, the main goal is to reduce data writes to flash disk as much as
possible, resulting in extending disk life time as well as relaxing IO
congestion. Alternatively, we're also considering to add ioctl() to reclaim
compressed space and show it to user after putting the immutable bit.
Enhancement:
- add compression support
- avoid unnecessary locks in quota ops
- harden power-cut scenario for zoned block devices
- use private bio_set to avoid IO congestion
- replace GC mutex with rwsem to serialize callers
Bug fix:
- fix dentry consistency and memory corruption in rename()'s error case
- fix wrong swap extent reports
- fix casefolding bugs
- change lock coverage to avoid deadlock
- avoid GFP_KERNEL under f2fs_lock_op
And, we've cleaned up sysfs entries to prepare no debugfs.

Pull openat2 support from Al Viro:
"This is the openat2() series from Aleksa Sarai.
I'm afraid that the rest of namei stuff will have to wait - it got
zero review the last time I'd posted #work.namei, and there had been a
leak in the posted series I'd caught only last weekend. I was going to
repost it on Monday, but the window opened and the odds of getting any
review during that... Oh, well.
Anyway, openat2 part should be ready; that _did_ get sane amount of
review and public testing, so here it comes"
From Aleksa's description of the series:
"For a very long time, extending openat(2) with new features has been
incredibly frustrating. This stems from the fact that openat(2) is
possibly the most famous counter-example to the mantra "don't silently
accept garbage from userspace" -- it doesn't check whether unknown
flags are present[1].
This means that (generally) the addition of new flags to openat(2) has
been fraught with backwards-compatibility issues (O_TMPFILE has to be
defined as __O_TMPFILE|O_DIRECTORY|[O_RDWR or O_WRONLY] to ensure old
kernels gave errors, since it's insecure to silently ignore the
flag[2]). All new security-related flags therefore have a tough road
to being added to openat(2).
Furthermore, the need for some sort of control over VFS's path
resolution (to avoid malicious paths resulting in inadvertent
breakouts) has been a very long-standing desire of many userspace
applications.
This patchset is a revival of Al Viro's old AT_NO_JUMPS[3] patchset
(which was a variant of David Drysdale's O_BENEATH patchset[4] which
was a spin-off of the Capsicum project[5]) with a few additions and
changes made based on the previous discussion within [6] as well as
others I felt were useful.
In line with the conclusions of the original discussion of
AT_NO_JUMPS, the flag has been split up into separate flags. However,
instead of being an openat(2) flag it is provided through a new
syscall openat2(2) which provides several other improvements to the
openat(2) interface (see the patch description for more details). The
following new LOOKUP_* flags are added:
LOOKUP_NO_XDEV:
Blocks all mountpoint crossings (upwards, downwards, or through
absolute links). Absolute pathnames alone in openat(2) do not
trigger this. Magic-link traversal which implies a vfsmount jump is
also blocked (though magic-link jumps on the same vfsmount are
permitted).
LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS:
Blocks resolution through /proc/$pid/fd-style links. This is done
by blocking the usage of nd_jump_link() during resolution in a
filesystem. The term "magic-links" is used to match with the only
reference to these links in Documentation/, but I'm happy to change
the name.
It should be noted that this is different to the scope of
~LOOKUP_FOLLOW in that it applies to all path components. However,
you can do openat2(NO_FOLLOW|NO_MAGICLINKS) on a magic-link and it
will *not* fail (assuming that no parent component was a
magic-link), and you will have an fd for the magic-link.
In order to correctly detect magic-links, the introduction of a new
LOOKUP_MAGICLINK_JUMPED state flag was required.
LOOKUP_BENEATH:
Disallows escapes to outside the starting dirfd's
tree, using techniques such as ".." or absolute links. Absolute
paths in openat(2) are also disallowed.
Conceptually this flag is to ensure you "stay below" a certain
point in the filesystem tree -- but this requires some additional
to protect against various races that would allow escape using
"..".
Currently LOOKUP_BENEATH implies LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS, because it
can trivially beam you around the filesystem (breaking the
protection). In future, there might be similar safety checks done
as in LOOKUP_IN_ROOT, but that requires more discussion.
In addition, two new flags are added that expand on the above ideas:
LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS:
Does what it says on the tin. No symlink resolution is allowed at
all, including magic-links. Just as with LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS this
can still be used with NOFOLLOW to open an fd for the symlink as
long as no parent path had a symlink component.
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT:
This is an extension of LOOKUP_BENEATH that, rather than blocking
attempts to move past the root, forces all such movements to be
scoped to the starting point. This provides chroot(2)-like
protection but without the cost of a chroot(2) for each filesystem
operation, as well as being safe against race attacks that
chroot(2) is not.
If a race is detected (as with LOOKUP_BENEATH) then an error is
generated, and similar to LOOKUP_BENEATH it is not permitted to
cross magic-links with LOOKUP_IN_ROOT.
The primary need for this is from container runtimes, which
currently need to do symlink scoping in userspace[7] when opening
paths in a potentially malicious container.
There is a long list of CVEs that could have bene mitigated by
having RESOLVE_THIS_ROOT (such as CVE-2017-1002101,
CVE-2017-1002102, CVE-2018-15664, and CVE-2019-5736, just to name a
few).
In order to make all of the above more usable, I'm working on
libpathrs[8] which is a C-friendly library for safe path resolution.
It features a userspace-emulated backend if the kernel doesn't support
openat2(2). Hopefully we can get userspace to switch to using it, and
thus get openat2(2) support for free once it's ready.
Future work would include implementing things like
RESOLVE_NO_AUTOMOUNT and possibly a RESOLVE_NO_REMOTE (to allow
programs to be sure they don't hit DoSes though stale NFS handles)"
