Hey Linus,
/* Summary */
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.
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.
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.
- Cleanup wbc_attach_fdatawrite_inode().
- Add __releases annotation to wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode().
- Add hugetlbfs tracepoints.
- Fix various vfs kernel doc parameters.
- Remove obsolete TODO comment from io_cancel().
- Convert wbc_account_cgroup_owner() to take a folio.
- Fix comments for BANDWITH_INTERVAL and wb_domain_writeout_add().
- Reorder struct posix_acl to save 8 bytes.
- Annotate struct posix_acl with __counted_by().
- Replace one-element array with flexible array member in freevxfs.
- Use idiomatic atomic64_inc_return() in alloc_mnt_ns().
