Encrypted files traditionally haven't supported DIO, due to the need to
encrypt/decrypt the data. However, when the encryption is implemented
using inline encryption (blk-crypto) instead of the traditional
filesystem-layer encryption, it is straightforward to support DIO.
Therefore, make ext4 support DIO on files that are using inline
encryption. Since ext4 uses iomap for DIO, and fscrypt support was
already added to iomap DIO, this just requires two small changes:
- Let DIO proceed when supported, by checking fscrypt_dio_supported()
instead of assuming that encrypted files never support DIO.
- In ext4_iomap_begin(), use fscrypt_limit_io_blocks() to limit the
length of the mapping in the rare case where a DUN discontiguity
occurs in the middle of an extent. The iomap DIO implementation
requires this, since it assumes that it can submit a bio covering (up
to) the whole mapping, without checking fscrypt constraints itself.

This patch drops all calls to ext4_fc_start_update() and
ext4_fc_stop_update(). To ensure that there are no ongoing journal
updates during fast commit, we also make jbd2_fc_begin_commit() lock
journal for updates. This way we don't have to maintain two different
transaction start stop APIs for fast commit and full commit. This
patch doesn't remove the functions altogether since in future we want
to have inode level locking for fast commits.

Functions gfs2_file_read_iter and gfs2_file_write_iter are both
accessing the user buffer to write to or read from while holding the
inode glock. In the most basic scenario, that buffer will not be
resident and it will be mapped to the same file. Accessing the buffer
will trigger a page fault, and gfs2 will deadlock trying to take the
same inode glock again while trying to handle that fault.
Fix that and similar, more complex scenarios by disabling page faults
while accessing user buffers. To make this work, introduce a small
amount of new infrastructure and fix some bugs that didn't trigger so
far, with page faults enabled.

Add a done_before argument to iomap_dio_rw that indicates how much of
the request has already been transferred. When the request succeeds, we
report that done_before additional bytes were tranferred. This is
useful for finishing a request asynchronously when part of the request
has already been completed synchronously.
We'll use that to allow iomap_dio_rw to be used with page faults
disabled: when a page fault occurs while submitting a request, we
synchronously complete the part of the request that has already been
submitted. The caller can then take care of the page fault and call
iomap_dio_rw again for the rest of the request, passing in the number of
bytes already tranferred.

Replace the blk_poll interface that requires the caller to keep a queue
and cookie from the submissions with polling based on the bio.
Polling for the bio itself leads to a few advantages:
- the cookie construction can made entirely private in blk-mq.c
- the caller does not need to remember the request_queue and cookie
separately and thus sidesteps their lifetime issues
- keeping the device and the cookie inside the bio allows to trivially
support polling BIOs remapping by stacking drivers
- a lot of code to propagate the cookie back up the submission path can
be removed entirely.

JBD2 layer support triggers which are called when journaling layer moves
buffer to a certain state. We can use the frozen trigger, which gets
called when buffer data is frozen and about to be written out to the
journal, to compute block checksums for some buffer types (similarly as
does ocfs2). This avoids unnecessary repeated recomputation of the
checksum (at the cost of larger window where memory corruption won't be
caught by checksumming) and is even necessary when there are
unsynchronized updaters of the checksummed data.
So add superblock and journal trigger type arguments to
ext4_journal_get_write_access() and ext4_journal_get_create_access() so
that frozen triggers can be set accordingly. Also add inode argument to
ext4_walk_page_buffers() and all the callbacks used with that function
for the same purpose. This patch is mostly only a change of prototype of
the above mentioned functions and a few small helpers. Real checksumming
will come later.

Eric has noticed that after pagecache read rework, generic/418 is
occasionally failing for ext4 when blocksize < pagesize. In fact, the
pagecache rework just made hard to hit race in ext4 more likely. The
problem is that since ext4 conversion of direct IO writes to iomap
framework (commit 378f32bab3), we update inode size after direct IO
write only after invalidating page cache. Thus if buffered read sneaks
at unfortunate moment like:
CPU1 - write at offset 1k CPU2 - read from offset 0
iomap_dio_rw(..., IOMAP_DIO_FORCE_WAIT);
ext4_readpage();
ext4_handle_inode_extension()
the read will zero out tail of the page as it still sees smaller inode
size and thus page cache becomes inconsistent with on-disk contents with
all the consequences.
Fix the problem by moving inode size update into end_io handler which
gets called before the page cache is invalidated.

When the first file is opened, ext4 samples the mountpoint of the
filesystem in 64 bytes of the super block. It does so using
strlcpy(), this means that the remaining bytes in the super block
string buffer are untouched. If the mount point before had a longer
path than the current one, it can be reconstructed.
Consider the case where the fs was mounted to "/media/johnjdeveloper"
and later to "/". The super block buffer then contains
"/\x00edia/johnjdeveloper".
This case was seen in the wild and caused confusion how the name
of a developer ands up on the super block of a filesystem used
in production...
Fix this by using strncpy() instead of strlcpy(). The superblock
field is defined to be a fixed-size char array, and it is already
marked using __nonstring in fs/ext4/ext4.h. The consumer of the field
in e2fsprogs already assumes that in the case of a 64+ byte mount
path, that s_last_mounted will not be NUL terminated.

This patch adds main fast commit commit path handlers. The overall
patch can be divided into two inter-related parts:
(A) Metadata updates tracking
This part consists of helper functions to track changes that need
to be committed during a commit operation. These updates are
maintained by Ext4 in different in-memory queues. Following are
the APIs and their short description that are implemented in this
patch:
- ext4_fc_track_link/unlink/creat() - Track unlink. link and creat
operations
- ext4_fc_track_range() - Track changed logical block offsets
inodes
- ext4_fc_track_inode() - Track inodes
- ext4_fc_mark_ineligible() - Mark file system fast commit
ineligible()
- ext4_fc_start_update() / ext4_fc_stop_update() /
ext4_fc_start_ineligible() / ext4_fc_stop_ineligible() These
functions are useful for co-ordinating inode updates with
commits.
(B) Main commit Path
This part consists of functions to convert updates tracked in
in-memory data structures into on-disk commits. Function
ext4_fc_commit() is the main entry point to commit path.

In the scenario of writing sparse files, the per-inode prealloc list may
be very long, resulting in high overhead for ext4_mb_use_preallocated().
To circumvent this problem, we limit the maximum length of per-inode
prealloc list to 512 and allow users to modify it.
After patching, we observed that the sys ratio of cpu has dropped, and
the system throughput has increased significantly. We created a process
to write the sparse file, and the running time of the process on the
fixed kernel was significantly reduced, as follows:
Running time on unfixed kernel：

Running with some debug patches to detect illegal blocking triggered the
extend/unaligned condition in ext4. If ext4 needs to extend the file (and
hence go to buffered IO), or if the app is doing unaligned IO, then ext4
asks the iomap code to wait for IO completion. If the caller asked for
no-wait semantics by setting IOCB_NOWAIT, then ext4 should return -EAGAIN
instead.

ext4_mark_inode_dirty() can fail for real reasons. Ignoring its return
value may lead ext4 to ignore real failures that would result in
corruption / crashes. Harden ext4_mark_inode_dirty error paths to fail
as soon as possible and return errors to the caller whenever
appropriate.
One of the possible scnearios when this bug could affected is that
while creating a new inode, its directory entry gets added
successfully but while writing the inode itself mark_inode_dirty
returns error which is ignored. This would result in inconsistency
that the directory entry points to a non-existent inode.
Ran gce-xfstests smoke tests and verified that there were no
regressions.

Currently we start transaction for mapping every extent for writing
using direct IO. This is unnecessary when we know we are overwriting
already allocated blocks and the overhead of starting a transaction can
be significant especially for multithreaded workloads doing small writes.
Use iomap operations that avoid starting a transaction for direct IO
overwrites.

We were using shared locking only in case of dioread_nolock mount option in case
of DIO overwrites. This mount condition is not needed anymore with current code,
since:-
1. No race between buffered writes & DIO overwrites. Since buffIO writes takes
exclusive lock & DIO overwrites will take shared locking. Also DIO path will
make sure to flush and wait for any dirty page cache data.
2. No race between buffered reads & DIO overwrites, since there is no block
allocation that is possible with DIO overwrites. So no stale data exposure
should happen. Same is the case between DIO reads & DIO overwrites.
3. Also other paths like truncate is protected, since we wait there for any DIO
in flight to be over.

Earlier there was no shared lock in DIO read path. But this patch
(16c54688592ce: ext4: Allow parallel DIO reads)
simplified some of the locking mechanism while still allowing for parallel DIO
reads by adding shared lock in inode DIO read path.
But this created problem with mixed read/write workload. It is due to the fact
that in DIO path, we first start with exclusive lock and only when we determine
that it is a ovewrite IO, we downgrade the lock. This causes the problem, since
we still have shared locking in DIO reads.
So, this patch tries to fix this issue by starting with shared lock and then
switching to exclusive lock only when required based on ext4_dio_write_checks().
Other than that, it also simplifies below cases:-
1. Simplified ext4_unaligned_aio API to ext4_unaligned_io. Previous API was
abused in the sense that it was not really checking for AIO anywhere also it
used to check for extending writes. So this API was renamed and simplified to
ext4_unaligned_io() which actully only checks if the IO is really unaligned.
Now, in case of unaligned direct IO, iomap_dio_rw needs to do zeroing of partial
block and that will require serialization against other direct IOs in the same
block. So we take a exclusive inode lock for any unaligned DIO. In case of AIO
we also need to wait for any outstanding IOs to complete so that conversion from
unwritten to written is completed before anyone try to map the overlapping block.
Hence we take exclusive inode lock and also wait for inode_dio_wait() for
unaligned DIO case. Please note since we are anyway taking an exclusive lock in
unaligned IO, inode_dio_wait() becomes a no-op in case of non-AIO DIO.
2. Added ext4_extending_io(). This checks if the IO is extending the file.
3. Added ext4_dio_write_checks(). In this we start with shared inode lock and
only switch to exclusive lock if required. So in most cases with aligned,
non-extending, dioread_nolock & overwrites, it tries to write with a shared
lock. If not, then we restart the operation in ext4_dio_write_checks(), after
acquiring exclusive lock.

This patch introduces a new direct I/O write path which makes use of
the iomap infrastructure.
All direct I/O writes are now passed from the ->write_iter() callback
through to the new direct I/O handler ext4_dio_write_iter(). This
function is responsible for calling into the iomap infrastructure via
iomap_dio_rw().
Code snippets from the existing direct I/O write code within
ext4_file_write_iter() such as, checking whether the I/O request is
unaligned asynchronous I/O, or whether the write will result in an
overwrite have effectively been moved out and into the new direct I/O
->write_iter() handler.
The block mapping flags that are eventually passed down to
ext4_map_blocks() from the *_get_block_*() suite of routines have been
taken out and introduced within ext4_iomap_alloc().
For inode extension cases, ext4_handle_inode_extension() is
effectively the function responsible for performing such metadata
updates. This is called after iomap_dio_rw() has returned so that we
can safely determine whether we need to potentially truncate any
allocated blocks that may have been prepared for this direct I/O
write. We don't perform the inode extension, or truncate operations
from the ->end_io() handler as we don't have the original I/O 'length'
available there. The ->end_io() however is responsible fo converting
allocated unwritten extents to written extents.
In the instance of a short write, we fallback and complete the
remainder of the I/O using buffered I/O via
ext4_buffered_write_iter().
The existing buffer_head direct I/O implementation has been removed as
it's now redundant.

In preparation for implementing the iomap direct I/O modifications,
the inode extension/truncate code needs to be moved out from the
ext4_iomap_end() callback. For direct I/O, if the current code
remained, it would behave incorrrectly. Updating the inode size prior
to converting unwritten extents would potentially allow a racing
direct I/O read to find unwritten extents before being converted
correctly.
The inode extension/truncate code now resides within a new helper
ext4_handle_inode_extension(). This function has been designed so that
it can accommodate for both DAX and direct I/O extension/truncate
operations.

Add most of fs-verity support to ext4. fs-verity is a filesystem
feature that enables transparent integrity protection and authentication
of read-only files. It uses a dm-verity like mechanism at the file
level: a Merkle tree is used to verify any block in the file in
log(filesize) time. It is implemented mainly by helper functions in
fs/verity/. See Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst for the full
documentation.
This commit adds all of ext4 fs-verity support except for the actual
data verification, including:
- Adding a filesystem feature flag and an inode flag for fs-verity.
- Implementing the fsverity_operations to support enabling verity on an
inode and reading/writing the verity metadata.
- Updating ->write_begin(), ->write_end(), and ->writepages() to support
writing verity metadata pages.
- Calling the fs-verity hooks for ->open(), ->setattr(), and ->ioctl().
ext4 stores the verity metadata (Merkle tree and fsverity_descriptor)
past the end of the file, starting at the first 64K boundary beyond
i_size. This approach works because (a) verity files are readonly, and
(b) pages fully beyond i_size aren't visible to userspace but can be
read/written internally by ext4 with only some relatively small changes
to ext4. This approach avoids having to depend on the EA_INODE feature
and on rearchitecturing ext4's xattr support to support paging
multi-gigabyte xattrs into memory, and to support encrypting xattrs.
Note that the verity metadata *must* be encrypted when the file is,
since it contains hashes of the plaintext data.

Currently we wait for all unwritten extents before we submit unaligned
AIO which protects data in case of unaligned AIO is following overlapping

To fix this, we must make sure that the unaligned AIO is the only IO in

Ext4 needs to serialize unaligned direct AIO because the zeroing of
partial blocks of two competing unaligned AIOs can result in data
corruption.
However it decides not to serialize if the potentially unaligned aio is
past i_size with the rationale that no pending writes are possible past
i_size. Unfortunately if the i_size is not block aligned and the second
unaligned write lands past i_size, but still into the same block, it has
the potential of corrupting the previous unaligned write to the same
block.
This is (very simplified) reproducer from Frank
// 41472 = (10 * 4096) + 512
// 37376 = 41472 - 4096
ftruncate(fd, 41472);

second unaligned write (41472) is going to be zeroed overwriting the data
written by the first write. This is a data corruption.

This patch is reworked from an earlier patch that Dan has posted:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10131727/
VM_MIXEDMAP is used by dax to direct mm paths like vm_normal_page() that
the memory page it is dealing with is not typical memory from the linear
map. The get_user_pages_fast() path, since it does not resolve the vma,
is already using {pte,pmd}_devmap() as a stand-in for VM_MIXEDMAP, so we
use that as a VM_MIXEDMAP replacement in some locations. In the cases
where there is no pte to consult we fallback to using vma_is_dax() to
detect the VM_MIXEDMAP special case.
Now that we have explicit driver pfn_t-flag opt-in/opt-out for
get_user_pages() support for DAX we can stop setting VM_MIXEDMAP. This
also means we no longer need to worry about safely manipulating vm_flags
in a future where we support dynamically changing the dax mode of a
file.
DAX should also now be supported with madvise_behavior(), vma_merge(),
and copy_page_range().
This patch has been tested against ndctl unit test. It has also been
tested against xfstests commit: 625515d using fake pmem created by
memmap and no additional issues have been observed.

If fs is frozen after mount and before the first file open, the
update of s_last_mounted bypasses freeze protection and prints out
a WARNING splat:

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For now,
this is just documenting that the function returns a
VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all instances are
converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type.

When allocation of underlying block for a page fault fails, we fail the
fault with SIGBUS. However we may well hit ENOSPC just due to lots of
free blocks being held by the running / committing transaction. So
propagate the error from ext4_iomap_begin() and implement do standard
allocation retry loop in ext4_dax_huge_fault().

Ext4 needs to pass through error from its iomap handler to the page
fault handler so that it can properly detect ENOSPC and force
transaction commit and retry the fault (and block allocation). Add
argument to dax_iomap_fault() for passing such error.
