There's no need to retain the fs/autofs4 directory for backward
compatibility.Adding an AUTOFS4_FS fragment to the autofs Kconfig and a module alias
for autofs4 is sufficient for almost all cases. Not keeping fs/autofs4
remnants will prevent "insmod /autofs4/autofs4.ko" from working
but this shouldn't be used in automation scripts rather than
modprobe(8).There were some comments about things to look out for with the module
rename in the fs/autofs4/Kconfig that is removed by this patch, see the
commit patch if you are interested.One potential problem with this change is that when the
fs/autofs/Kconfig fragment for AUTOFS4_FS is removed any AUTOFS4_FS
entries will be removed from the kernel config, resulting in no autofs
file system being built if there is no AUTOFS_FS entry also.This would have also happened if the fs/autofs4 remnants had remained
and is most likely to be a problem with automated builds.Please check your build configurations before the removal which will
occur after the next couple of kernel releases.Acked-by: Ian Kent

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This adds a user for the new 'bytes-remaining' updates to
memcpy_mcsafe() that you already received through Ingo via the
x86-dax- for-linus pull.Not included here, but still targeting this cycle, is support for
handling memory media errors (poison) consumed via userspace dax
mappings.Summary:
- DAX broke a fundamental assumption of truncate of file mapped
pages. The truncate path assumed that it is safe to disconnect a
pinned page from a file and let the filesystem reclaim the physical
block. With DAX the page is equivalent to the filesystem block.
Introduce dax_layout_busy_page() to enable filesystems to wait for
pinned DAX pages to be released. Without this wait a filesystem
could allocate blocks under active device-DMA to a new file.- DAX arranges for the block layer to be bypassed and uses
dax_direct_access() + copy_to_iter() to satisfy read(2) calls.
However, the memcpy_mcsafe() facility is available through the pmem
block driver. In order to safely handle media errors, via the DAX
block-layer bypass, introduce copy_to_iter_mcsafe().- Fix cache management policy relative to the ACPI NFIT Platform
Capabilities Structure to properly elide cache flushes when they
are not necessary. The table indicates whether CPU caches are
power-fail protected. Clarify that a deep flush is always performed

With the addition of memfd hugetlbfs support, we now have the situation
where memfd depends on TMPFS -or- HUGETLBFS. Previously, memfd was only
supported on tmpfs, so it made sense that the code resided in shmem.c.
In the current code, memfd is only functional if TMPFS is defined. If
HUGETLFS is defined and TMPFS is not defined, then memfd functionality
will not be available for hugetlbfs. This does not cause BUGs, just a
lack of potentially desired functionality.Code is restructured in the following way:
- include/linux/memfd.h is a new file containing memfd specific
definitions previously contained in shmem_fs.h.
- mm/memfd.c is a new file containing memfd specific code previously
contained in shmem.c.
- memfd specific code is removed from shmem_fs.h and shmem.c.
- A new config option MEMFD_CREATE is added that is defined if TMPFS
or HUGETLBFS is defined.No functional changes are made to the code: restructuring only.

In preparation for fixing dax-dma-vs-unmap issues, filesystems need to
be able to rely on the fact that they will get wakeups on dev_pagemap
page-idle events. Introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and
generic_dax_page_free() as common indicator / infrastructure for dax
filesytems to require. With this change there are no users of the
MEMORY_DEVICE_HOST designation, so remove it.The HMM sub-system extended dev_pagemap to arrange a callback when a
dev_pagemap managed page is freed. Since a dev_pagemap page is free /
idle when its reference count is 1 it requires an additional branch to
check the page-type at put_page() time. Given put_page() is a hot-path
we do not want to incur that check if HMM is not in use, so a static
branch is used to avoid that overhead when not necessary.Now, the FS_DAX implementation wants to reuse this mechanism for
receiving dev_pagemap ->page_free() callbacks. Rework the HMM-specific
static-key into a generic mechanism that either HMM or FS_DAX code paths
can enable.For ARCH=um builds, and any other arch that lacks ZONE_DEVICE support,
care must be taken to compile out the DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS infrastructure.
However, we still need to support FS_DAX in the FS_DAX_LIMITED case
implemented by the s390/dcssblk driver.Cc: Martin Schwidefsky

If a dax buffer from a device that does not map pages is passed to
read(2) or write(2) as a target for direct-I/O it triggers SIGBUS. If
gdb attempts to examine the contents of a dax buffer from a device that
does not map pages it triggers SIGBUS. If fork(2) is called on a process
with a dax mapping from a device that does not map pages it triggers
SIGBUS. 'struct page' is required otherwise several kernel code paths
break in surprising ways. Disable filesystem-dax on devices that do not
map pages.In addition to needing pfn_to_page() to be valid we also require devmap
pages. We need this to detect dax pages in the get_user_pages_fast()
path and so that we can stop managing the VM_MIXEDMAP flag. For DAX
drivers that have not supported get_user_pages() to date we allow them
to opt-in to supporting DAX with the CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED configuration
option which requires ->direct_access() to return pfn_t_special() pfns.
This leaves DAX support in brd disabled and scheduled for removal.Note that when the initial dax support was being merged a few years back
there was concern that struct page was unsuitable for use with next
generation persistent memory devices. The theoretical concern was that
struct page access, being such a hotly used data structure in the
kernel, would lead to media wear out. While that was a reasonable
conservative starting position it has not held true in practice. We have
long since committed to using devm_memremap_pages() to support higher
order kernel functionality that needs get_user_pages() and
pfn_to_page().Cc: Jeff Moyer

For configurations that do not enable DAX filesystems or drivers, do not
require the DAX core to be built.Given that the 'direct_access' method has been removed from
'block_device_operations', we can also go ahead and remove the
block-related dax helper functions from fs/block_dev.c to
drivers/dax/super.c. This keeps dax details out of the block layer and
lets the DAX core be built as a module in the FS_DAX=n case.Filesystems need to include dax.h to call bdev_dax_supported().

Add infrastructure for multipage buffered writes. This is implemented
using an main iterator that applies an actor function to a range that
can be written.This infrastucture is used to implement a buffered write helper, one
to zero file ranges and one to implement the ->page_mkwrite VM
operations. All of them borrow a fair amount of code from fs/buffers.
for now by using an internal version of __block_write_begin that
gets passed an iomap and builds the corresponding buffer head.The file system is gets a set of paired ->iomap_begin and ->iomap_end
calls which allow it to map/reserve a range and get a notification
once the write code is finished with it.Based on earlier code from Dave Chinner.

Currently the handling of huge pages for DAX is racy. For example the
following can happen:CPU0 (THP write fault) CPU1 (normal read fault)
__dax_pmd_fault() __dax_fault()
get_block(inode, block, &bh, 0) -> not mapped
get_block(inode, block, &bh, 0)
-> not mapped
if (!buffer_mapped(&bh) && write)
get_block(inode, block, &bh, 1) -> allocates blocks
truncate_pagecache_range(inode, lstart, lend);
dax_load_hole();This results in data corruption since process on CPU1 won't see changes
into the file done by CPU0.The race can happen even if two normal faults race however with THP the
situation is even worse because the two faults don't operate on the same
entries in the radix tree and we want to use these entries for
serialization. So make THP support in DAX code depend on CONFIG_BROKEN
for now.Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

Pull file locking updates from Jeff Layton:
"File locking related changes for v4.5 (pile #1)Highlights:
- new Kconfig option to allow disabling mandatory locking (which is
racy anyway)
- new tracepoints for setlk and close codepaths
- fix for a long-standing bug in code that handles races between
setting a POSIX lock and close()"* tag 'locks-v4.5-1' of git://git.samba.org/jlayton/linux:
locks: rename __posix_lock_file to posix_lock_inode
locks: prink more detail when there are leaked locks
locks: pass inode pointer to locks_free_lock_context
locks: sprinkle some tracepoints around the file locking code
locks: don't check for race with close when setting OFD lock
locks: fix unlock when fcntl_setlk races with a close
fs: make locks.c explicitly non-modular
locks: use list_first_entry_or_null()
locks: Don't allow mounts in user namespaces to enable mandatory locking
locks: Allow disabling mandatory locking at compile time

While dax pmd mappings are functional in the nominal path they trigger
kernel crashes in the following paths:BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea0004098000

huge page and making the assumption that the pfn is covered by the
memmap, i.e. that the pfn has an associated struct page. PTE mappings
do not suffer the same fate since they have the _PAGE_SPECIAL flag to
cause the gup path to fault. We can do something similar for the PMD
path, or otherwise defer pmd support for cases where a struct page is
available. For now, 4.4-rc and -stable need to disable dax pmd support
by default.For development the "depends on BROKEN" line can be removed from

Mandatory locking appears to be almost unused and buggy and there
appears no real interest in doing anything with it. Since effectively
no one uses the code and since the code is buggy let's allow it to be
disabled at compile time. I would just suggest removing the code but
undoubtedly that will break some piece of userspace code somewhere.For the distributions that don't care about this piece of code
this gives a nice starting point to make mandatory locking go away.Cc: Benjamin Coddington

The functionality of ext3 is fully supported by ext4 driver. Major
distributions (SUSE, RedHat) already use ext4 driver to handle ext3
filesystems for quite some time. There is some ugliness in mm resulting
from jbd cleaning buffers in a dirty page without cleaning page dirty
bit and also support for buffer bouncing in the block layer when stable
pages are required is there only because of jbd. So let's remove the
ext3 driver. This saves us some 28k lines of duplicated code.Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o

The DAX code accesses the underlying storage through the kernel's linear
mapping, which may not be cache-coherent with user mappings on ARM, MIPS
or SPARC. Temporarily disable the DAX code until this problem is
resolved.The original XIP code also had this problem, but it was never noticed.

efivars is currently enabled under MISC_FILESYSTEMS, which is decribed
as "such as filesystems that came from other operating systems".
In reality, it is a pseudo filesystem, providing access to the kernel
UEFI variable interface.Since this is the preferred interface for accessing UEFI variables, over
the legacy efivars interface, also build it by default as a module if
CONFIG_EFI.Signed-off-by: Leif Lindholm

Overlayfs allows one, usually read-write, directory tree to be
overlaid onto another, read-only directory tree. All modifications
go to the upper, writable layer.This type of mechanism is most often used for live CDs but there's a
wide variety of other uses.The implementation differs from other "union filesystem"
implementations in that after a file is opened all operations go
directly to the underlying, lower or upper, filesystems. This
simplifies the implementation and allows native performance in these
cases.The dentry tree is duplicated from the underlying filesystems, this
enables fast cached lookups without adding special support into the
VFS. This uses slightly more memory than union mounts, but dentries
are relatively small.Currently inodes are duplicated as well, but it is a possible
optimization to share inodes for non-directories.Opening non directories results in the open forwarded to the
underlying filesystem. This makes the behavior very similar to union
mounts (with the same limitations vs. fchmod/fchown on O_RDONLY file
descriptors).Usage:
mount -t overlayfs overlayfs -olowerdir=/lower,upperdir=/upper/upper,workdir=/upper/work /overlay
The following cotributions have been folded into this patch:
Neil Brown :
- minimal remount support
- use correct seek function for directories
- initialise is_real before use
- rename ovl_fill_cache to ovl_dir_readFelix Fietkau :
- fix a deadlock in ovl_dir_read_merged
- fix a deadlock in ovl_remove_whiteoutsErez Zadok
- fix cleanup after WARN_ONSedat Dilek
- fix up permission to confirm to new APIRobin Dong
- fix possible leak in ovl_new_inode
- create new inode in ovl_linkAndy Whitcroft
- switch to __inode_permission()
- copy up i_uid/i_gid from the underlying inodeAV:
- ovl_copy_up_locked() - dput(ERR_PTR(...)) on two failure exits
- ovl_clear_empty() - one failure exit forgetting to do unlock_rename(),
lack of check for udir being the parent of upper, dropping and regaining
the lock on udir (which would require _another_ check for parent being
right).
- bogus d_drop() in copyup and rename [fix from your mail]
- copyup/remove and copyup/rename races [fix from your mail]
- ovl_dir_fsync() leaving ERR_PTR() in ->realfile
- ovl_entry_free() is pointless - it's just a kfree_rcu()
- fold ovl_do_lookup() into ovl_lookup()
- manually assigning ->d_op is wrong. Just use ->s_d_op.

Currently, all of the grace period handling is part of lockd. Eventually
though we'd like to be able to build v4-only servers, at which point
we'll need to put all of this elsewhere.Move the code itself into fs/nfs_common and have it build a grace.ko
module. Then, rejigger the Kconfig options so that both nfsd and lockd
enable it automatically.Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton
