      fs: remove mandatory file locking support · f7e33bdb
      由 Jeff Layton 提交于 
      We added CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING in 2015, and soon after turned it
off in Fedora and RHEL8. Several other distros have followed suit.

I've heard of one problem in all that time: Someone migrated from an
older distro that supported "-o mand" to one that didn't, and the host
had a fstab entry with "mand" in it which broke on reboot. They didn't
actually _use_ mandatory locking so they just removed the mount option
and moved on.

This patch rips out mandatory locking support wholesale from the kernel,
along with the Kconfig option and the Documentation file. It also
changes the mount code to ignore the "mand" mount option instead of
erroring out, and to throw a big, ugly warning.

      mm: Add functions to lock invalidate_lock for two mappings · 7506ae6a
      由 Jan Kara 提交于 
      Some operations such as reflinking blocks among files will need to lock
invalidate_lock for two mappings. Add helper functions to do that.

      mm: Protect operations adding pages to page cache with invalidate_lock · 730633f0
      由 Jan Kara 提交于 
      Currently, serializing operations such as page fault, read, or readahead
against hole punching is rather difficult. The basic race scheme is
like:

fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE)			read / fault / ..
  truncate_inode_pages_range()
						  <create pages in page
						   cache here>
  <update fs block mapping and free blocks>

Now the problem is in this way read / page fault / readahead can
instantiate pages in page cache with potentially stale data (if blocks
get quickly reused). Avoiding this race is not simple - page locks do
not work because we want to make sure there are *no* pages in given
range. inode->i_rwsem does not work because page fault happens under
mmap_sem which ranks below inode->i_rwsem. Also using it for reads makes
the performance for mixed read-write workloads suffer.

So create a new rw_semaphore in the address_space - invalidate_lock -
that protects adding of pages to page cache for page faults / reads /
readahead.

      drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good · bbcd53c9
      由 David Hildenbrand 提交于 
      Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good".

Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and
memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem.

Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be
able to deal with things like

a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem)
  -> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient.

b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched
  -> mem_pfn_is_ram()

Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might
fault/crash the machine.

Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1],
after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion.

CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by
mistake?).  All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled
for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least
starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from
15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well.

1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled
   basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of
   /dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.".
   RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to
   serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers
   to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching"

2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read
   kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to
   deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned
   pages, though)

3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a
   better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot
   yourself into the foot.

4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems
   to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes,
   /proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older
   kernels can be used.

5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there.

Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better
suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's
just remove it.

      mm: provide filemap_range_needs_writeback() helper · 63135aa3
      由 Jens Axboe 提交于 
      Patch series "Improve IOCB_NOWAIT O_DIRECT reads", v3.

An internal workload complained because it was using too much CPU, and
when I took a look, we had a lot of io_uring workers going to town.

For an async buffered read like workload, I am normally expecting _zero_
offloads to a worker thread, but this one had tons of them.  I'd drop
caches and things would look good again, but then a minute later we'd
regress back to using workers.  Turns out that every minute something
was reading parts of the device, which would add page cache for that
inode.  I put patches like these in for our kernel, and the problem was
solved.

Don't -EAGAIN IOCB_NOWAIT dio reads just because we have page cache
entries for the given range.  This causes unnecessary work from the
callers side, when the IO could have been issued totally fine without
blocking on writeback when there is none.

This patch (of 3):

For O_DIRECT reads/writes, we check if we need to issue a call to
filemap_write_and_wait_range() to issue and/or wait for writeback for any
page in the given range.  The existing mechanism just checks for a page in
the range, which is suboptimal for IOCB_NOWAIT as we'll fallback to the
slow path (and needing retry) if there's just a clean page cache page in
the range.

Provide filemap_range_needs_writeback() which tries a little harder to
check if we actually need to issue and/or wait for writeback in the range.

      vfs: add fileattr ops · 4c5b4799
      由 Miklos Szeredi 提交于 
      There's a substantial amount of boilerplate in filesystems handling
FS_IOC_[GS]ETFLAGS/ FS_IOC_FS[GS]ETXATTR ioctls.

Also due to userspace buffers being involved in the ioctl API this is
difficult to stack, as shown by overlayfs issues related to these ioctls.

Introduce a new internal API named "fileattr" (fsxattr can be confused with
xattr, xflags is inappropriate, since this is more than just flags).

There's significant overlap between flags and xflags and this API handles
the conversions automatically, so filesystems may choose which one to use.

In ->fileattr_get() a hint is provided to the filesystem whether flags or
xattr are being requested by userspace, but in this series this hint is
ignored by all filesystems, since generating all the attributes is cheap.

If a filesystem doesn't implemement the fileattr API, just fall back to
f_op->ioctl().  When all filesystems are converted, the fallback can be
removed.

32bit compat ioctls are now handled by the generic code as well.
