variant Replacement is called copy_page_from_iter_atomic(); unlike the old primitive the callers do *not* need to do iov_iter_advance() after it. In case when they end up consuming less than they'd been given they need to do iov_iter_revert() on everything they had not consumed. That, however, needs to be done only on slow paths.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs Pull network filesystem helper library updates from David Howells: "Here's a set of patches for 5.13 to begin the process of overhauling the local caching API for network filesystems. This set consists of two parts: (1) Add a helper library to handle the new VM readahead interface. This is intended to be used unconditionally by the filesystem (whether or not caching is enabled) and provides a common framework for doing caching, transparent huge pages and, in the future, possibly fscrypt and read bandwidth maximisation. It also allows the netfs and the cache to align, expand and slice up a read request from the VM in various ways; the netfs need only provide a function to read a stretch of data to the pagecache and the helper takes care of the rest. (2) Add an alternative fscache/cachfiles I/O API that uses the kiocb facility to do async DIO to transfer data to/from the netfs's pages, rather than using readpage with wait queue snooping on one side and vfs_write() on the other. It also uses less memory, since it doesn't do buffered I/O on the backing file. Note that this uses SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA to locate the data available to be read from the cache. Whilst this is an improvement from the bmap interface, it still has a problem with regard to a modern extent-based filesystem inserting or removing bridging blocks of zeros. Fixing that requires a much greater overhaul. This is a step towards overhauling the fscache API. The change is opt-in on the part of the network filesystem. A netfs should not try to mix the old and the new API because of conflicting ways of handling pages and the PG_fscache page flag and because it would be mixing DIO with buffered I/O. Further, the helper library can't be used with the old API. This does not change any of the fscache cookie handling APIs or the way invalidation is done at this time. In the near term, I intend to deprecate and remove the old I/O API (fscache_allocate_page{,s}(), fscache_read_or_alloc_page{,s}(), fscache_write_page() and fscache_uncache_page()) and eventually replace most of fscache/cachefiles with something simpler and easier to follow. This patchset contains the following parts: - Some helper patches, including provision of an ITER_XARRAY iov iterator and a function to do readahead expansion. - Patches to add the netfs helper library. - A patch to add the fscache/cachefiles kiocb API. - A pair of patches to fix some review issues in the ITER_XARRAY and read helpers as spotted by Al and Willy. Jeff Layton has patches to add support in Ceph for this that he intends for this merge window. I have a set of patches to support AFS that I will post a separate pull request for. With this, AFS without a cache passes all expected xfstests; with a cache, there's an extra failure, but that's also there before these patches. Fixing that probably requires a greater overhaul. Ceph also passes the expected tests. I also have patches in a separate branch to tidy up the handling of PG_fscache/PG_private_2 and their contribution to page refcounting in the core kernel here, but I haven't included them in this set and will route them separately" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/3779937.1619478404@warthog.procyon.org.uk/ * tag 'netfs-lib-20210426' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs: netfs: Miscellaneous fixes iov_iter: Four fixes for ITER_XARRAY fscache, cachefiles: Add alternate API to use kiocb for read/write to cache netfs: Add a tracepoint to log failures that would be otherwise unseen netfs: Define an interface to talk to a cache netfs: Add write_begin helper netfs: Gather stats netfs: Add tracepoints netfs: Provide readahead and readpage netfs helpers netfs, mm: Add set/end/wait_on_page_fscache() aliases netfs, mm: Move PG_fscache helper funcs to linux/netfs.h netfs: Documentation for helper library netfs: Make a netfs helper module mm: Implement readahead_control pageset expansion mm/readahead: Handle ractl nr_pages being modified fs: Document file_ra_state mm/filemap: Pass the file_ra_state in the ractl mm: Add set/end/wait functions for PG_private_2 iov_iter: Add ITER_XARRAY

2021-04-12vfs: add fileattr opsMiklos Szeredi
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. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
2021-04-12ovl: restrict lower null uuid for "xino=auto"Amir Goldstein
Commit a888db310195 ("ovl: fix regression with re-formatted lower squashfs") attempted to fix a regression with existing setups that use a practice that we are trying to discourage. The discourage part was described this way in the commit message: "To avoid the reported regression while still allowing the new features with single lower squashfs, do not allow decoding origin with lower null uuid unless user opted-in to one of the new features that require following the lower inode of non-dir upper (index, xino, metacopy)." The three mentioned features are disabled by default in Kconfig, so it was assumed that if they are enabled, the user opted-in for them. Apparently, distros started to configure CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_XINO_AUTO=y some time ago, so users upgrading their kernels can still be affected by said regression even though they never opted-in for any new feature. To fix this, treat "xino=on" as "user opted-in", but not "xino=auto". Since we are changing the behavior of "xino=auto" to no longer follow to lower origin with null uuid, take this one step further and disable xino in that corner case. To be consistent, disable xino also in cases of lower fs without file handle support and upper fs without xattr support. Update documentation w.r.t the new "xino=auto" behavior and fix the out dated bits of documentation regarding "xino" and regarding offline modifications to lower layers.

2021-04-05ext4: handle casefolding with encryptionDaniel Rosenberg
This adds support for encryption with casefolding. Since the name on disk is case preserving, and also encrypted, we can no longer just recompute the hash on the fly. Additionally, to avoid leaking extra information from the hash of the unencrypted name, we use siphash via an fscrypt v2 policy. The hash is stored at the end of the directory entry for all entries inside of an encrypted and casefolded directory apart from those that deal with '.' and '..'. This way, the change is backwards compatible with existing ext4 filesystems.
