  • Now splice() on O_DIRECT-opened fat file will return -EFAULT, that is
    because the default .splice_write, namely default_file_splice_write(),
    will construct an ITER_KVEC iov_iter and dio_refill_pages() in dio path
    can not handle it.

    Fix it by implementing .splice_write through iter_file_splice_write().

  • This patch introduces 3 new inline functions - is_fat12, is_fat16 and
    is_fat32, and replaces every occurrence in the code in which the FS
    variant (whether this is FAT12, FAT16 or FAT32) was previously checked
    using msdos_sb_info->fat_bits.

  • MAX_FAT is useless in msdos_fs.h, since it uses the MSDOS_SB function
    that is defined in fat.h. So really, this macro can be only called from
    code that already includes fat.h.

    Hence, this patch moves it to fat.h, right after MSDOS_SB is defined. I
    also changed it to an inline function in order to save the double call
    to MSDOS_SB. This was suggested by joe@perches.com in the previous
    version.

    This patch is required for the next in the series, in which the variant
    (whether this is FAT12, FAT16 or FAT32) checks are replaced with new
    macros.

  • The comment edited in this patch was the only reference to the
    FAT_FIRST_ENT macro, which is not used anymore. Moreover, the commented
    line of code does not compile with the current code.

    Since the FAT_FIRST_ENT macro checks the FAT variant in a way that the
    patch series changes, I removed it, and instead wrote a clear
    explanation of what was checked.

    I verified that the changed comment is correct according to Microsoft
    FAT spec, search for "BPB_Media" in the following references:

  • Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
    of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
    old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

    It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
    bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
    user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
    days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

    A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
    checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
    move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
    the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
    just get this done once and for all.

    This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
    the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

    There were a couple of notable cases:

    - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

    - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
    values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
    really used it)

    - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

    but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

    I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
    access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
    something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

  • Patch series "fat: timestamp updates", v5.

    fat/msdos timestamps are stored on-disk with several different
    granularities, some of them lower resolution than timespec64_trunc() can
    provide. In addition, they are only truncated as they are written to
    disk, so the timestamps in-memory for new or modified files/directories
    may be different from the same timestamps after a remount, as the
    now-truncated times are re-read from the on-disk format.

    These patches allow finer granularity for the timestamps where possible
    and add fat-specific ->update_time inode operation and fat_truncate_time
    functions to truncate each timestamp correctly, giving consistent times
    across remounts.

    This patch (of 4):

    Move the calculation of the number of seconds in the timezone offset to a
    common function.

  • Now that we pass down 64-bit timestamps from VFS, we just need to convert
    that correctly into on-disk timestamps. To make that work correctly, this
    changes the last use of time_to_tm() in the kernel to time64_to_tm(),
    which also lets use remove that deprecated interfaces.

    Similarly, the time_t use in fat_time_fat2unix() truncates the timestamp
    on the way in, which can be avoided by using types that are wide enough to
    hold the intermediate values during the conversion.

  • Pull inode timestamps conversion to timespec64 from Arnd Bergmann:
    "This is a late set of changes from Deepa Dinamani doing an automated
    treewide conversion of the inode and iattr structures from 'timespec'
    to 'timespec64', to push the conversion from the VFS layer into the
    individual file systems.

    As Deepa writes:

    'The series aims to switch vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64.
    Currently vfs uses struct timespec, which is not y2038 safe.

    The series involves the following:
    1. Add vfs helper functions for supporting struct timepec64
    timestamps.
    2. Cast prints of vfs timestamps to avoid warnings after the switch.
    3. Simplify code using vfs timestamps so that the actual replacement
    becomes easy.
    4. Convert vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64 using a script.
    This is a flag day patch.

    Next steps:
    1. Convert APIs that can handle timespec64, instead of converting
    timestamps at the boundaries.
    2. Update internal data structures to avoid timestamp conversions'

    Thomas Gleixner adds:

    'I think there is no point to drag that out for the next merge
    window. The whole thing needs to be done in one go for the core
    changes which means that you're going to play that catchup game
    forever. Let's get over with it towards the end of the merge window'"

  • The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
    patch replaces cases of:

    kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

    with:
    kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

    as well as handling cases of:

    kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

    with:

    kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

    as it's slightly less ugly than:

    kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

    This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

    kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

    though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

    Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
    dropped, since they're redundant.

    The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
    implementation of kmalloc().

  • struct timespec is not y2038 safe. Transition vfs to use
    y2038 safe struct timespec64 instead.

    The change was made with the help of the following cocinelle
    script. This catches about 80% of the changes.
    All the header file and logic changes are included in the
    first 5 rules. The rest are trivial substitutions.
    I avoid changing any of the function signatures or any other
    filesystem specific data structures to keep the patch simple
    for review.

    The script can be a little shorter by combining different cases.
    But, this version was sufficient for my usecase.

  • vfat_d_anon_disconn() is called only if alias->d_parent is equal to
    dentry->d_parent *and* it returns false unless alias->d_parent == alias.
    But in that case alias is the directory we are doing lookup in, and
    d_splice_alias() would've done the right thing.

  • Commit bc98a42c1f7d ("VFS: Convert sb->s_flags & MS_RDONLY to
    sb_rdonly(sb)") converted fat_remount():new_rdonly from a bool to an
    int.

    However fat_remount() depends upon the compiler's conversion of a
    non-zero integer into boolean `true'.

    Fix it by switching `new_rdonly' back into a bool.

  • This is a pure automated search-and-replace of the internal kernel
    superblock flags.

    The s_flags are now called SB_*, with the names and the values for the
    moment mirroring the MS_* flags that they're equivalent to.

    Note how the MS_xyz flags are the ones passed to the mount system call,
    while the SB_xyz flags are what we then use in sb->s_flags.

    The script to do this was:

    # places to look in; re security/*: it generally should *not* be
    # touched (that stuff parses mount(2) arguments directly), but
    # there are two places where we really deal with superblock flags.

    include/linux/fs.h include/uapi/linux/bfs_fs.h \

  • Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
    makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

    By default all files without license information are under the default
    license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

    Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
    SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
    shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

    This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
    Philippe Ombredanne.

    How this work was done:

    Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
    the use cases:
    - file had no licensing information it it.
    - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
    - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

    Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
    where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
    had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

    The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
    a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
    output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
    tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
    base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

    The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
    assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
    results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
    to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
    immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

    Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
    - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
    - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
    lines of source
    - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

  • Pull mount flag updates from Al Viro:
    "Another chunk of fmount preparations from dhowells; only trivial
    conflicts for that part. It separates MS_... bits (very grotty
    mount(2) ABI) from the struct super_block ->s_flags (kernel-internal,
    only a small subset of MS_... stuff).

    This does *not* convert the filesystems to new constants; only the
    infrastructure is done here. The next step in that series is where the
    conflicts would be; that's the conversion of filesystems. It's purely
    mechanical and it's better done after the merge, so if you could run

  • Recently fallocate patch was merged and it uses

    fat_inode/fsinfo_inode that was introduced in past didn't initialize
    MSDOS_I(inode) properly.

    With those combinations, it became the cause of accessing random entry
    in FAT area.

  • Add a system call to make extended file information available, including
    file creation and some attribute flags where available through the
    underlying filesystem.

    The getattr inode operation is altered to take two additional arguments: a
    u32 request_mask and an unsigned int flags that indicate the
    synchronisation mode. This change is propagated to the vfs_getattr*()
    function.

    Functions like vfs_stat() are now inline wrappers around new functions
    vfs_statx() and vfs_statx_fd() to reduce stack usage.

    ========
    OVERVIEW
    ========

    The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved
    with getxattr(), but the general preference proved to be for a new syscall
    with an extended stat structure.

    A number of requests were gathered for features to be included. The
    following have been included:

    (1) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large.

    (2) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for
    future expansion.

    (3) Better support for the y2038 problem [Arnd Bergmann] (tv_sec is an
    __s64).

    (4) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could
    be exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of
    FS-Cache as that can be used for coherency data (stx_btime).

    This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could
    be exported by NFSD [Steve French].

    (5) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a
    netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly
    without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas
    Dilger] (AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC).

    (6) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks
    its cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust]
    (AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC).

    And the following have been left out for future extension:

    (7) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh
    Kumar].

    Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves
    i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr(). It could get
    it from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead.

    (There's disagreement on the exact semantics of a single field, since
    not all filesystems do this the same way).

    (8) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such
    as creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen)
    [Jeremy Allison, Bernd Schubert].

    (9) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers
    [Bernd Schubert].

    (This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary with the
    open-by-handle capability available and caused disagreement as to
    whether it's a security hole or not).

    (10) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger].

    (No particular data were offered, but things like last backup
    timestamp, the data version number and the DOS archive bit would come
    into this category).

    (11) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A
    filesystem can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if
    that isn't available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't
    exist or are fabricated locally...

    (This requires a separate system call - I have an fsinfo() call idea
    for this).

    (12) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in
    struct xstat [Steve French].

    (Deferred to fsinfo).

    (13) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the
    granularity of each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French].

    (Deferred to fsinfo).

    (14) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value. These could be translated to BSD's st_flags.
    Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4
    define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel
    may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too).

    (Some attributes are made available in stx_attributes, but the general
    feeling was that the IOC flags were to ext[234]-specific and shouldn't
    be exposed through statx this way).

    (15) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer,
    Michael Kerrisk].

    (Deferred, probably to fsinfo. Finding out if there's an ACL or
    seclabal might require extra filesystem operations).

    (16) Femtosecond-resolution timestamps [Dave Chinner].

    (A __reserved field has been left in the statx_timestamp struct for
    this - if there proves to be a need).

    (17) A set multiple attributes syscall to go with this.

    ===============
    NEW SYSTEM CALL
    ===============

    The new system call is:

    int ret = statx(int dfd,
    const char *filename,
    unsigned int flags,
    unsigned int mask,
    struct statx *buffer);

    The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query, in a
    similar way to fstatat(). There is no equivalent of lstat() as that can be
    emulated with statx() by passing AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags. There is
    also no equivalent of fstat() as that can be emulated by passing a NULL
    filename to statx() with the fd of interest in dfd.

    Whether or not statx() synchronises the attributes with the backing store
    can be controlled by OR'ing a value into the flags argument (this typically
    only affects network filesystems):

    (1) AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT tells statx() to behave as stat() does in this
    respect.

    (2) AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC will require a network filesystem to synchronise
    its attributes with the server - which might require data writeback to
    occur to get the timestamps correct.

    (3) AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC will suppress synchronisation with the server in a
    network filesystem. The resulting values should be considered
    approximate.

    mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of
    interest to the caller. The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to
    get the basic set returned by stat(). It should be noted that asking for
    more information may entail extra I/O operations.

    buffer points to the destination for the data. This must be 256 bytes in
    size.

    ======================
    MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD
    ======================

    The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute
    set:

    struct statx_timestamp {
    __s64 tv_sec;
    __s32 tv_nsec;
    __s32 __reserved;
    };

    struct statx {
    __u32 stx_mask;
    __u32 stx_blksize;
    __u64 stx_attributes;
    __u32 stx_nlink;
    __u32 stx_uid;
    __u32 stx_gid;
    __u16 stx_mode;
    __u16 __spare0[1];
    __u64 stx_ino;
    __u64 stx_size;
    __u64 stx_blocks;
    __u64 __spare1[1];
    struct statx_timestamp stx_atime;
    struct statx_timestamp stx_btime;
    struct statx_timestamp stx_ctime;
    struct statx_timestamp stx_mtime;
    __u32 stx_rdev_major;
    __u32 stx_rdev_minor;
    __u32 stx_dev_major;
    __u32 stx_dev_minor;
    __u64 __spare2[14];
    };

    The defined bits in request_mask and stx_mask are:

    STATX_TYPE Want/got stx_mode & S_IFMT
    STATX_MODE Want/got stx_mode & ~S_IFMT
    STATX_NLINK Want/got stx_nlink
    STATX_UID Want/got stx_uid
    STATX_GID Want/got stx_gid
    STATX_ATIME Want/got stx_atime{,_ns}
    STATX_MTIME Want/got stx_mtime{,_ns}
    STATX_CTIME Want/got stx_ctime{,_ns}
    STATX_INO Want/got stx_ino
    STATX_SIZE Want/got stx_size
    STATX_BLOCKS Want/got stx_blocks
    STATX_BASIC_STATS [The stuff in the normal stat struct]
    STATX_BTIME Want/got stx_btime{,_ns}
    STATX_ALL [All currently available stuff]

    stx_btime is the file creation time, stx_mask is a bitmask indicating the
    data provided and __spares*[] are where as-yet undefined fields can be
    placed.

    Time fields are structures with separate seconds and nanoseconds fields
    plus a reserved field in case we want to add even finer resolution. Note
    that times will be negative if before 1970; in such a case, the nanosecond
    fields will also be negative if not zero.

    The bits defined in the stx_attributes field convey information about a
    file, how it is accessed, where it is and what it does. The following
    attributes map to FS_*_FL flags and are the same numerical value:

    STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED File is compressed by the fs
    STATX_ATTR_IMMUTABLE File is marked immutable
    STATX_ATTR_APPEND File is append-only
    STATX_ATTR_NODUMP File is not to be dumped
    STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED File requires key to decrypt in fs

    Within the kernel, the supported flags are listed by:

    KSTAT_ATTR_FS_IOC_FLAGS

    [Are any other IOC flags of sufficient general interest to be exposed
    through this interface?]

    New flags include:

    STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT Object is an automount trigger

    These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially,
    depending on what they are.

    Fields in struct statx come in a number of classes:

    (0) stx_dev_*, stx_blksize.

    These are local system information and are always available.

    (1) stx_mode, stx_nlinks, stx_uid, stx_gid, stx_[amc]time, stx_ino,
    stx_size, stx_blocks.

    These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not. The
    corresponding bits in stx_mask will be set to indicate whether they
    actually have valid values.

    If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated. For
    example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server,
    unless as a byproduct of updating something requested.

    If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as
    UID or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the stx_mask,
    even if the caller asked for the value. In such a case, the returned
    value will be a fabrication.

    Note that there are instances where the type might not be valid, for
    instance Windows reparse points.

    (2) stx_rdev_*.

    This will be set only if stx_mode indicates we're looking at a
    blockdev or a chardev, otherwise will be 0.

    (3) stx_btime.

    Similar to (1), except this will be set to 0 if it doesn't exist.

    =======
    TESTING
    =======

    The following test program can be used to test the statx system call:

    samples/statx/test-statx.c

    Just compile and run, passing it paths to the files you want to examine.
    The file is built automatically if CONFIG_SAMPLES is enabled.

    Here's some example output. Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to
    another FSID. Note that the AUTOMOUNT attribute is set because transiting
    this directory will cause d_automount to be invoked by the VFS.

    [root@andromeda ~]# /tmp/test-statx -A /warthog/data
    statx(/warthog/data) = 0
    results=7ff
    Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 1048576 directory
    Device: 00:26 Inode: 1703937 Links: 125

    Attributes: 0000000000001000 (-------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ---m---- --------)

    Secondly, the result of automounting on that directory.

    [root@andromeda ~]# /tmp/test-statx /warthog/data
    statx(/warthog/data) = 0
    results=7ff

  • current_fs_time() uses struct super_block* as an argument.
    As per Linus's suggestion, this is changed to take struct
    inode* as a parameter instead. This is because the function
    is primarily meant for vfs inode timestamps.
    Also the function was renamed as per Arnd's suggestion.

    Change all calls to current_fs_time() to use the new
    current_time() function instead. current_fs_time() will be
    deleted.

  • CURRENT_TIME_SEC is not y2038 safe. current_time() will
    be transitioned to use 64 bit time along with vfs in a
    separate patch.
    There is no plan to transistion CURRENT_TIME_SEC to use
    y2038 safe time interfaces.

    current_time() will also be extended to use superblock
    range checking parameters when range checking is introduced.

    This works because alloc_super() fills in the the s_time_gran
    in super block to NSEC_PER_SEC.
