Pull vfs untorn write support from Christian Brauner:
"An atomic write is a write issed with torn-write protection. This
means for a power failure or any hardware failure all or none of the
data from the write will be stored, never a mix of old and new data.
This work is already supported for block devices. If a block device is
opened with O_DIRECT and the block device supports atomic write, then
FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE is added to the file of the opened block
device.
This contains the work to expand atomic write support to filesystems,
specifically ext4 and XFS. Currently, only support for writing exactly
one filesystem block atomically is added.
Since it's now possible to have filesystem block size > page size for
XFS, it's possible to write 4K+ blocks atomically on x86"

Pull tmpfs case folding updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds case-insensitive support for tmpfs.
The work contained in here adds support for case-insensitive file
names lookups in tmpfs. The main difference from other casefold
filesystems is that tmpfs has no information on disk, just on RAM, so
we can't use mkfs to create a case-insensitive tmpfs. For this
implementation, there's a mount option for casefolding. The rest of
the patchset follows a similar approach as ext4 and f2fs.
The use case for this feature is similar to the use case for ext4, to
better support compatibility layers (like Wine), particularly in
combination with sandboxing/container tools (like Flatpak).
Those containerization tools can share a subset of the host filesystem
with an application. In the container, the root directory and any
parent directories required for a shared directory are on tmpfs, with
the shared directories bind-mounted into the container's view of the
filesystem.
If the host filesystem is using case-insensitive directories, then the
application can do lookups inside those directories in a
case-insensitive way, without this needing to be implemented in
user-space. However, if the host is only sharing a subset of a
case-insensitive directory with the application, then the parent
directories of the mount point will be part of the container's root
tmpfs. When the application tries to do case-insensitive lookups of
those parent directories on a case-sensitive tmpfs, the lookup will
fail"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Fixup and improve NLM and kNFSD file lock callbacks
Last year both GFS2 and OCFS2 had some work done to make their
locking more robust when exported over NFS. Unfortunately, part of
that work caused both NLM (for NFS v3 exports) and kNFSD (for
NFSv4.1+ exports) to no longer send lock notifications to clients
This in itself is not a huge problem because most NFS clients will
still poll the server in order to acquire a conflicted lock
It's important for NLM and kNFSD that they do not block their
kernel threads inside filesystem's file_lock implementations
because that can produce deadlocks. We used to make sure of this by
only trusting that posix_lock_file() can correctly handle blocking
lock calls asynchronously, so the lock managers would only setup
their file_lock requests for async callbacks if the filesystem did
not define its own lock() file operation
However, when GFS2 and OCFS2 grew the capability to correctly
handle blocking lock requests asynchronously, they started
signalling this behavior with EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK, and the check
for also trusting posix_lock_file() was inadvertently dropped, so
now most filesystems no longer produce lock notifications when
exported over NFS
Fix this by using an fop_flag which greatly simplifies the problem
and grooms the way for future uses by both filesystems and lock
managers alike
- Add a sysctl to delete the dentry when a file is removed instead of
making it a negative dentry
Commit 681ce8623567 ("vfs: Delete the associated dentry when
deleting a file") introduced an unconditional deletion of the
associated dentry when a file is removed. However, this led to
performance regressions in specific benchmarks, such as
ilebench.sum_operations/s, prompting a revert in commit
4a4be1ad3a6e ("Revert "vfs: Delete the associated dentry when
deleting a file""). This reintroduces the concept conditionally
through a sysctl
- Expand the statmount() system call:
* Report the filesystem subtype in a new fs_subtype field to
e.g., report fuse filesystem subtypes
* Report the superblock source in a new sb_source field
* Add a new way to return filesystem specific mount options in an
option array that returns filesystem specific mount options
separated by zero bytes and unescaped. This allows caller's to
retrieve filesystem specific mount options and immediately pass
them to e.g., fsconfig() without having to unescape or split
them
* Report security (LSM) specific mount options in a separate
security option array. We don't lump them together with
filesystem specific mount options as security mount options are
generic and most users aren't interested in them
The format is the same as for the filesystem specific mount
option array
- Support relative paths in fsconfig()'s FSCONFIG_SET_STRING command
- Optimize acl_permission_check() to avoid costly {g,u}id ownership
checks if possible
- Use smp_mb__after_spinlock() to avoid full smp_mb() in evict()
- Add synchronous wakeup support for ep_poll_callback.
Currently, epoll only uses wake_up() to wake up task. But sometimes
there are epoll users which want to use the synchronous wakeup flag
to give a hint to the scheduler, e.g., the Android binder driver.
So add a wake_up_sync() define, and use wake_up_sync() when sync is
true in ep_poll_callback()
Fixes:
- Fix kernel documentation for inode_insert5() and iget5_locked()
- Annotate racy epoll check on file->f_ep
- Make F_DUPFD_QUERY associative
- Avoid filename buffer overrun in initramfs
- Don't let statmount() return empty strings
- Add a cond_resched() to dump_user_range() to avoid hogging the CPU
- Don't query the device logical blocksize multiple times for hfsplus
- Make filemap_read() check that the offset is positive or zero
Cleanups:
- Various typo fixes

Pull vfs multigrain timestamps from Christian Brauner:
"This is another try at implementing multigrain timestamps. This time
with significant help from the timekeeping maintainers to reduce the
performance impact.
Thomas provided a base branch that contains the required timekeeping
interfaces for the VFS. It serves as the base for the multi-grain
timestamp work:
- Multigrain timestamps allow the kernel to use fine-grained
timestamps when an inode's attributes is being actively observed
via ->getattr(). With this support, it's possible for a file to get
a fine-grained timestamp, and another modified after it to get a
coarse-grained stamp that is earlier than the fine-grained time. If
this happens then the files can appear to have been modified in
reverse order, which breaks VFS ordering guarantees.
To prevent this, a floor value is maintained for multigrain
timestamps. Whenever a fine-grained timestamp is handed out, record
it, and when later coarse-grained stamps are handed out, ensure
they are not earlier than that value. If the coarse-grained
timestamp is earlier than the fine-grained floor, return the floor
value instead.
The timekeeper changes add a static singleton atomic64_t into
timekeeper.c that is used to keep track of the latest fine-grained
time ever handed out. This is tracked as a monotonic ktime_t value
to ensure that it isn't affected by clock jumps. Because it is
updated at different times than the rest of the timekeeper object,
the floor value is managed independently of the timekeeper via a
cmpxchg() operation, and sits on its own cacheline.
Two new public timekeeper interfaces are added:
(1) ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64_mg() fills a timespec64 with the
later of the coarse-grained clock and the floor time
(2) ktime_get_real_ts64_mg() gets the fine-grained clock value,
and tries to swap it into the floor. A timespec64 is filled
with the result.
- The VFS has always used coarse-grained timestamps when updating the
ctime and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing
filesystems to optimize away a lot metadata updates, down to around
1 per jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.
Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting
via NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of
changes can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to
help the client decide when to invalidate the cache. Even with
NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support a
change attribute and are subject to the same problems with
timestamp granularity. Other applications have similar issues with
timestamps (e.g backup applications).
If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would
improve the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the
underlying filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata
updates.
This adds a way to only use fine-grained timestamps when they are
being actively queried. Use the (unused) top bit in
inode->i_ctime_nsec as a flag that indicates whether the current
timestamps have been queried via stat() or the like. When it's set,
we allow the kernel to use a fine-grained timestamp iff it's
necessary to make the ctime show a different value.
This solves the problem of being able to distinguish the timestamp
between updates, but introduces a new problem: it's now possible
for a file being changed to get a fine-grained timestamp. A file
that is altered just a bit later can then get a coarse-grained one
that appears older than the earlier fine-grained time. This
violates timestamp ordering guarantees.
This is where the earlier mentioned timkeeping interfaces help. A
global monotonic atomic64_t value is kept that acts as a timestamp
floor. When we go to stamp a file, we first get the latter of the
current floor value and the current coarse-grained time. If the
inode ctime hasn't been queried then we just attempt to stamp it
with that value.
If it has been queried, then first see whether the current coarse
time is later than the existing ctime. If it is, then we accept
that value. If it isn't, then we get a fine-grained time and try to
swap that into the global floor. Whether that succeeds or fails, we
take the resulting floor time, convert it to realtime and try to
swap that into the ctime.
We take the result of the ctime swap whether it succeeds or fails,
since either is just as valid.
Filesystems can opt into this by setting the FS_MGTIME fstype flag.
Others should be unaffected (other than being subject to the same
floor value as multigrain filesystems)"

F2FS should understand how the device aliasing file works and support
deleting the file after use. A device aliasing file can be created by
mkfs.f2fs tool and it can map the whole device with an extent, not
using node blocks. The file space should be pinned and normally used for
read-only usages.

Currently iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc can be called from
XFS either with the invalidate lock held or not. To fix this while
keeping the locking in the file system and not the iomap library
code we'll need to life the locking up into the file system.
To prepare for that, open code iomap_file_buffered_write_punch_delalloc
in the only caller, and instead export iomap_write_delalloc_release.

Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> says:
The VFS has always used coarse-grained timestamps when updating the
ctime and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing
filesystems to optimize away a lot metadata updates, down to around 1
per jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.
Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
client decide when to invalidate the cache. Even with NFSv4, a lot of
exported filesystems don't properly support a change attribute and are
subject to the same problems with timestamp granularity. Other
applications have similar issues with timestamps (e.g backup
applications).
If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve the
situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.
What we need is a way to only use fine-grained timestamps when they are
being actively queried. Use the (unused) top bit in inode->i_ctime_nsec
as a flag that indicates whether the current timestamps have been
queried via stat() or the like. When it's set, we allow the kernel to
use a fine-grained timestamp iff it's necessary to make the ctime show
a different value.
This solves the problem of being able to distinguish the timestamp
between updates, but introduces a new problem: it's now possible for a
file being changed to get a fine-grained timestamp. A file that is
altered just a bit later can then get a coarse-grained one that appears
older than the earlier fine-grained time. This violates timestamp
ordering guarantees.
To remedy this, keep a global monotonic atomic64_t value that acts as a
timestamp floor. When we go to stamp a file, we first get the latter of
the current floor value and the current coarse-grained time. If the
inode ctime hasn't been queried then we just attempt to stamp it with
that value.
If it has been queried, then first see whether the current coarse time
is later than the existing ctime. If it is, then we accept that value.
If it isn't, then we get a fine-grained time and try to swap that into
the global floor. Whether that succeeds or fails, we take the resulting
floor time, convert it to realtime and try to swap that into the ctime.
We take the result of the ctime swap whether it succeeds or fails, since
either is just as valid.
Filesystems can opt into this by setting the FS_MGTIME fstype flag.
Others should be unaffected (other than being subject to the same floor
value as multigrain filesystems).

Benjamin Coddington <bcodding@redhat.com> says:
Last year both GFS2 and OCFS2 had some work done to make their locking more
robust when exported over NFS. Unfortunately, part of that work caused both
NLM (for NFS v3 exports) and kNFSD (for NFSv4.1+ exports) to no longer send
lock notifications to clients.
This in itself is not a huge problem because most NFS clients will still
poll the server in order to acquire a conflicted lock, but now that I've
noticed it I can't help but try to fix it because there are big advantages
for setups that might depend on timely lock notifications, and we've
supported that as a feature for a long time.
Its important for NLM and kNFSD that they do not block their kernel threads
inside filesystem's file_lock implementations because that can produce
deadlocks. We used to make sure of this by only trusting that
posix_lock_file() can correctly handle blocking lock calls asynchronously,
so the lock managers would only setup their file_lock requests for async
callbacks if the filesystem did not define its own lock() file operation.
However, when GFS2 and OCFS2 grew the capability to correctly
handle blocking lock requests asynchronously, they started signalling this
behavior with EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK, and the check for also trusting
posix_lock_file() was inadvertently dropped, so now most filesystems no
longer produce lock notifications when exported over NFS.
I tried to fix this by simply including the old check for lock(), but the
resulting include mess and layering violations was more than I could accept.
There's a much cleaner way presented here using an fop_flag, which while
potentially flag-greedy, greatly simplifies the problem and grooms the
way for future uses by both filesystems and lock managers alike.
