Encoded I/O in Btrfs needs to check a write with a given logical size
without an iov_iter that matches that size (because the iov_iter we have
is for the compressed data). So, factor out the parts of
generic_write_check() that don't need an iov_iter into a new
generic_write_checks_count() function and export that.

This patch removes an unnecessary comment that had to do with block special
files from `generic_write_checks()`.
The comment, originally added in Linux v2.4.14.9, was to clarify that we only
set `pos` to the file size when the file was opened with `O_APPEND` if the file
wasn't a block special file. Prior to Linux v2.4, block special files had a
different `write()` function which was unified into a generic `write()` function
in Linux v2.4. This generic `write()` function called `generic_write_checks()`.
For more details, see this earlier conversation:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/Yc4Czk5A+p5p2Y4W@mit.edu/
Currently, block special devices have their own `write_iter()` function and no
longer share the same `generic_write_checks()`, therefore rendering the comment
irrelevant.

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.

autofs got broken in some configurations by commit 13c164b1a1
("autofs: switch to kernel_write") because there is now an extra LSM
permission check done by security_file_permission() in rw_verify_area().
autofs is one if the few places that really does want the much more
limited __kernel_write(), because the write is an internal kernel one
that shouldn't do any user permission checks (it also doesn't need the
file_start_write/file_end_write logic, since it's just a pipe).
There are a couple of other cases like that - accounting, core dumping,
and splice - but autofs stands out because it can be built as a module.
As a result, we need to export this internal __kernel_write() function
again.
We really don't want any other module to use this, but we don't have a
"EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_AUTOFS_ONLY()". But we can mark it GPL-only to at
least approximate that "internal use only" for licensing.
While in this area, make autofs pass in NULL for the file position
pointer, since it's always a pipe, and we now use a NULL file pointer
for streaming file descriptors (see file_ppos() and commit 438ab720c675:
"vfs: pass ppos=NULL to .read()/.write() of FMODE_STREAM files")
This effectively reverts commits 9db9775224 ("fs: unexport
__kernel_write") and 13c164b1a1 ("autofs: switch to kernel_write").

default_file_splice_write is the last piece of generic code that uses
set_fs to make the uaccess routines operate on kernel pointers. It
implements a "fallback loop" for splicing from files that do not actually
provide a proper splice_read method. The usual file systems and other
high bandwidth instances all provide a ->splice_read, so this just removes
support for various device drivers and procfs/debugfs files. If splice
support for any of those turns out to be important it can be added back
by switching them to the iter ops and using generic_file_splice_read.

We always round down, to a multiple of the filesystem's block size, the
length to deduplicate at generic_remap_check_len(). However this is only
needed if an attempt to deduplicate the last block into the middle of the
destination file is requested, since that leads into a corruption if the
length of the source file is not block size aligned. When an attempt to
deduplicate the last block into the end of the destination file is
requested, we should allow it because it is safe to do it - there's no
stale data exposure and we are prepared to compare the data ranges for
a length not aligned to the block (or page) size - in fact we even do
the data compare before adjusting the deduplication length.
After btrfs was updated to use the generic helpers from VFS (by commit
34a28e3d77 ("Btrfs: use generic_remap_file_range_prep() for cloning
and deduplication")) we started to have user reports of deduplication
not reflinking the last block anymore, and whence users getting lower
deduplication scores. The main use case is deduplication of entire
files that have a size not aligned to the block size of the filesystem.
We already allow cloning the last block to the end (and beyond) of the
destination file, so allow for deduplication as well.

once if the two pages are the same, since the overlapping range check
doesn't catch this when blocksize < pagesize. If the pages are distinct

This amends commit 10dce8af34 ("fs: stream_open - opener for
stream-like files so that read and write can run simultaneously without
deadlock") in how position is passed into .read()/.write() handler for
stream-like files:
Rasmus noticed that we currently pass 0 as position and ignore any position
change if that is done by a file implementation. This papers over bugs if ppos
is used in files that declare themselves as being stream-like as such bugs will
go unnoticed. Even if a file implementation is correctly converted into using
stream_open, its read/write later could be changed to use ppos and even though
that won't be working correctly, that bug might go unnoticed without someone
doing wrong behaviour analysis. It is thus better to pass ppos=NULL into
read/write for stream-like files as that don't give any chance for ppos usage
bugs because it will oops if ppos is ever used inside .read() or .write().
Note 1: rw_verify_area, new_sync_{read,write} needs to be updated
because they are called by vfs_read/vfs_write & friends before
file_operations .read/.write .
Note 2: if file backend uses new-style .read_iter/.write_iter, position
is still passed into there as non-pointer kiocb.ki_pos . Currently
stream_open.cocci (semantic patch added by 10dce8af34) ignores files
whose file_operations has *_iter methods.

Commit 9c225f2655 ("vfs: atomic f_pos accesses as per POSIX") added
locking for file.f_pos access and in particular made concurrent read and
write not possible - now both those functions take f_pos lock for the
whole run, and so if e.g. a read is blocked waiting for data, write will
deadlock waiting for that read to complete.
This caused regression for stream-like files where previously read and
write could run simultaneously, but after that patch could not do so
anymore. See e.g. commit 581d21a2d0 ("xenbus: fix deadlock on writes
to /proc/xen/xenbus") which fixes such regression for particular case of
/proc/xen/xenbus.
The patch that added f_pos lock in 2014 did so to guarantee POSIX thread
safety for read/write/lseek and added the locking to file descriptors of
all regular files. In 2014 that thread-safety problem was not new as it
was already discussed earlier in 2006.
However even though 2006'th version of Linus's patch was adding f_pos
locking "only for files that are marked seekable with FMODE_LSEEK (thus
avoiding the stream-like objects like pipes and sockets)", the 2014
version - the one that actually made it into the tree as 9c225f2655 -
is doing so irregardless of whether a file is seekable or not.
See
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/53022DB1.4070805@gmail.com/https://lwn.net/Articles/180387https://lwn.net/Articles/180396
for historic context.
The reason that it did so is, probably, that there are many files that
are marked non-seekable, but e.g. their read implementation actually
depends on knowing current position to correctly handle the read. Some
examples:
kernel/power/user.c snapshot_read
fs/debugfs/file.c u32_array_read
fs/fuse/control.c fuse_conn_waiting_read + ...
drivers/hwmon/asus_atk0110.c atk_debugfs_ggrp_read
arch/s390/hypfs/inode.c hypfs_read_iter
...
Despite that, many nonseekable_open users implement read and write with
pure stream semantics - they don't depend on passed ppos at all. And for
those cases where read could wait for something inside, it creates a
situation similar to xenbus - the write could be never made to go until
read is done, and read is waiting for some, potentially external, event,
for potentially unbounded time -> deadlock.
Besides xenbus, there are 14 such places in the kernel that I've found
with semantic patch (see below):
drivers/xen/evtchn.c:667:8-24: ERROR: evtchn_fops: .read() can deadlock .write()

In addition to the cases above another regression caused by f_pos
locking is that now FUSE filesystems that implement open with
FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE flag, can no longer implement bidirectional
stream-like files - for the same reason as above e.g. read can deadlock
write locking on file.f_pos in the kernel.
FUSE's FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE was added in 2008 in a7c1b990f7 ("fuse:
implement nonseekable open") to support OSSPD. OSSPD implements /dev/dsp
in userspace with FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE flag, with corresponding read and
write routines not depending on current position at all, and with both
read and write being potentially blocking operations:
See
https://github.com/libfuse/osspdhttps://lwn.net/Articles/308445https://github.com/libfuse/osspd/blob/14a9cff0/osspd.c#L1406https://github.com/libfuse/osspd/blob/14a9cff0/osspd.c#L1438-L1477https://github.com/libfuse/osspd/blob/14a9cff0/osspd.c#L1479-L1510
Corresponding libfuse example/test also describes FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE as
"somewhat pipe-like files ..." with read handler not using offset.
However that test implements only read without write and cannot exercise
the deadlock scenario:
https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/blob/fuse-3.4.2-3-ga1bff7d/example/poll.c#L124-L131https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/blob/fuse-3.4.2-3-ga1bff7d/example/poll.c#L146-L163https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/blob/fuse-3.4.2-3-ga1bff7d/example/poll.c#L209-L216
I've actually hit the read vs write deadlock for real while implementing
my FUSE filesystem where there is /head/watch file, for which open
creates separate bidirectional socket-like stream in between filesystem
and its user with both read and write being later performed
simultaneously. And there it is semantically not easy to split the
stream into two separate read-only and write-only channels:
https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/wendelin.core/blob/f13aa600/wcfs/wcfs.go#L88-169
Let's fix this regression. The plan is:
1. We can't change nonseekable_open to include &~FMODE_ATOMIC_POS -
doing so would break many in-kernel nonseekable_open users which
actually use ppos in read/write handlers.
2. Add stream_open() to kernel to open stream-like non-seekable file
descriptors. Read and write on such file descriptors would never use
nor change ppos. And with that property on stream-like files read and
write will be running without taking f_pos lock - i.e. read and write
could be running simultaneously.
3. With semantic patch search and convert to stream_open all in-kernel
nonseekable_open users for which read and write actually do not
depend on ppos and where there is no other methods in file_operations
which assume @offset access.
4. Add FOPEN_STREAM to fs/fuse/ and open in-kernel file-descriptors via
steam_open if that bit is present in filesystem open reply.
It was tempting to change fs/fuse/ open handler to use stream_open
instead of nonseekable_open on just FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE flags, but
grepping through Debian codesearch shows users of FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE,
and in particular GVFS which actually uses offset in its read and
write handlers
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=-%3Enonseekable+%3Dhttps://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/blob/1.40.0-6-gcbc54396/client/gvfsfusedaemon.c#L1080https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/blob/1.40.0-6-gcbc54396/client/gvfsfusedaemon.c#L1247-1346https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/blob/1.40.0-6-gcbc54396/client/gvfsfusedaemon.c#L1399-1481
so if we would do such a change it will break a real user.
5. Add stream_open and FOPEN_STREAM handling to stable kernels starting
from v3.14+ (the kernel where 9c225f2655 first appeared).
This will allow to patch OSSPD and other FUSE filesystems that
provide stream-like files to return FOPEN_STREAM | FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE
in their open handler and this way avoid the deadlock on all kernel
versions. This should work because fs/fuse/ ignores unknown open
flags returned from a filesystem and so passing FOPEN_STREAM to a
kernel that is not aware of this flag cannot hurt. In turn the kernel
that is not aware of FOPEN_STREAM will be < v3.14 where just
FOPEN_NONSEEKABLE is sufficient to implement streams without read vs
write deadlock.
This patch adds stream_open, converts /proc/xen/xenbus to it and adds
semantic patch to automatically locate in-kernel places that are either
required to be converted due to read vs write deadlock, or that are just
safe to be converted because read and write do not use ppos and there
are no other funky methods in file_operations.
Regarding semantic patch I've verified each generated change manually -
that it is correct to convert - and each other nonseekable_open instance
left - that it is either not correct to convert there, or that it is not
converted due to current stream_open.cocci limitations.
The script also does not convert files that should be valid to convert,
but that currently have .llseek = noop_llseek or generic_file_llseek for
unknown reason despite file being opened with nonseekable_open (e.g.

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
"Assorted fixes (really no common topic here)"
* 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
vfs: Make __vfs_write() static
vfs: fix preadv64v2 and pwritev64v2 compat syscalls with offset == -1
pipe: stop using ->can_merge
splice: don't merge into linked buffers
fs: move generic stat response attr handling to vfs_getattr_nosec
orangefs: don't reinitialize result_mask in ->getattr
fs/devpts: always delete dcache dentry-s in dput()
Every in-kernel use of this function defined it to KERNEL_DS (either as
an actual define, or as an inline function). It's an entirely
historical artifact, and long long long ago used to actually read the
segment selector valueof '%ds' on x86.
Which in the kernel is always KERNEL_DS.
Inspired by a patch from Jann Horn that just did this for a very small
subset of users (the ones in fs/), along with Al who suggested a script.
I then just took it to the logical extreme and removed all the remaining
gunk.
Roughly scripted with
git grep -l '(get_ds())' -- :^tools/ | xargs sed -i 's/(get_ds())/(KERNEL_DS)/'
git grep -lw 'get_ds' -- :^tools/ | xargs sed -i '/^#define get_ds()/d'
plus manual fixups to remove a few unusual usage patterns, the couple of
inline function cases and to fix up a comment that had become stale.
The 'get_ds()' function remains in an x86 kvm selftest, since in user
space it actually does something relevant.

The preadv2 and pwritev2 syscalls are supposed to emulate the readv and
writev syscalls when offset == -1. Therefore the compat code should
check for offset before calling do_compat_preadv64 and
do_compat_pwritev64. This is the case for the preadv2 and pwritev2
syscalls, but handling of offset == -1 is missing in their 64-bit
equivalent.
This patch fixes that, calling do_compat_readv and do_compat_writev when
offset == -1. This fixes the following glibc tests on x32:
- misc/tst-preadvwritev2
- misc/tst-preadvwritev64v2

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.

In overlayfs, ovl_remap_file_range calls vfs_clone_file_range on the
lower filesystem's inode, passing through whatever remap flags it got
from its caller. Since vfs_copy_file_range first tries a filesystem's
remap function with REMAP_FILE_CAN_SHORTEN, this can get passed through
to the second vfs_copy_file_range call, and this isn't an issue.
Change the WARN_ON to look only for the DEDUP flag.
