Zonefs is a very simple file system exposing each zone of a zoned block
device as a file.
Unlike a regular file system with native zoned block device support
(e.g. f2fs or the on-going btrfs effort), zonefs does not hide the
sequential write constraint of zoned block devices to the user. As a
result, zonefs is not a POSIX compliant file system. Its goal is to
simplify the implementation of zoned block devices support in
applications by replacing raw block device file accesses with a richer
file based API, avoiding relying on direct block device file ioctls
which may be more obscure to developers.
One example of this approach is the implementation of LSM
(log-structured merge) tree structures (such as used in RocksDB and
LevelDB) on zoned block devices by allowing SSTables to be stored in a
zone file similarly to a regular file system rather than as a range of
sectors of a zoned device. The introduction of the higher level
construct "one file is one zone" can help reducing the amount of changes
needed in the application while at the same time allowing the use of
zoned block devices with various programming languages other than C.
Zonefs IO management implementation uses the new iomap generic code.
Zonefs has been successfully tested using a functional test suite
(available with zonefs userland format tool on github) and a prototype
implementation of LevelDB on top of zonefs.

"Saner fs_parser.c guts and data structures. The system-wide registry
of syntax types (string/enum/int32/oct32/.../etc.) is gone and so is
the horror switch() in fs_parse() that would have to grow another case
every time something got added to that system-wide registry.
New syntax types can be added by filesystems easily now, and their
namespace is that of functions - not of system-wide enum members. IOW,
they can be shared or kept private and if some turn out to be widely
useful, we can make them common library helpers, etc., without having
to do anything whatsoever to fs_parse() itself.
And we already get that kind of requests - the thing that finally
pushed me into doing that was "oh, and let's add one for timeouts -
things like 15s or 2h". If some filesystem really wants that, let them
do it. Without somebody having to play gatekeeper for the variants

In this series, we've implemented transparent compression experimentally. It
supports LZO and LZ4, but will add more later as we investigate in the field
more. At this point, the feature doesn't expose compressed space to user
directly in order to guarantee potential data updates later to the space.
Instead, the main goal is to reduce data writes to flash disk as much as
possible, resulting in extending disk life time as well as relaxing IO
congestion. Alternatively, we're also considering to add ioctl() to reclaim
compressed space and show it to user after putting the immutable bit.
Enhancement:
- add compression support
- avoid unnecessary locks in quota ops
- harden power-cut scenario for zoned block devices
- use private bio_set to avoid IO congestion
- replace GC mutex with rwsem to serialize callers
Bug fix:
- fix dentry consistency and memory corruption in rename()'s error case
- fix wrong swap extent reports
- fix casefolding bugs
- change lock coverage to avoid deadlock
- avoid GFP_KERNEL under f2fs_lock_op
And, we've cleaned up sysfs entries to prepare no debugfs.

Pull openat2 support from Al Viro:
"This is the openat2() series from Aleksa Sarai.
I'm afraid that the rest of namei stuff will have to wait - it got
zero review the last time I'd posted #work.namei, and there had been a
leak in the posted series I'd caught only last weekend. I was going to
repost it on Monday, but the window opened and the odds of getting any
review during that... Oh, well.
Anyway, openat2 part should be ready; that _did_ get sane amount of
review and public testing, so here it comes"
From Aleksa's description of the series:
"For a very long time, extending openat(2) with new features has been
incredibly frustrating. This stems from the fact that openat(2) is
possibly the most famous counter-example to the mantra "don't silently
accept garbage from userspace" -- it doesn't check whether unknown
flags are present[1].
This means that (generally) the addition of new flags to openat(2) has
been fraught with backwards-compatibility issues (O_TMPFILE has to be
defined as __O_TMPFILE|O_DIRECTORY|[O_RDWR or O_WRONLY] to ensure old
kernels gave errors, since it's insecure to silently ignore the
flag[2]). All new security-related flags therefore have a tough road
to being added to openat(2).
Furthermore, the need for some sort of control over VFS's path
resolution (to avoid malicious paths resulting in inadvertent
breakouts) has been a very long-standing desire of many userspace
applications.
This patchset is a revival of Al Viro's old AT_NO_JUMPS[3] patchset
(which was a variant of David Drysdale's O_BENEATH patchset[4] which
was a spin-off of the Capsicum project[5]) with a few additions and
changes made based on the previous discussion within [6] as well as
others I felt were useful.
In line with the conclusions of the original discussion of
AT_NO_JUMPS, the flag has been split up into separate flags. However,
instead of being an openat(2) flag it is provided through a new
syscall openat2(2) which provides several other improvements to the
openat(2) interface (see the patch description for more details). The
following new LOOKUP_* flags are added:
LOOKUP_NO_XDEV:
Blocks all mountpoint crossings (upwards, downwards, or through
absolute links). Absolute pathnames alone in openat(2) do not
trigger this. Magic-link traversal which implies a vfsmount jump is
also blocked (though magic-link jumps on the same vfsmount are
permitted).
LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS:
Blocks resolution through /proc/$pid/fd-style links. This is done
by blocking the usage of nd_jump_link() during resolution in a
filesystem. The term "magic-links" is used to match with the only
reference to these links in Documentation/, but I'm happy to change
the name.
It should be noted that this is different to the scope of
~LOOKUP_FOLLOW in that it applies to all path components. However,
you can do openat2(NO_FOLLOW|NO_MAGICLINKS) on a magic-link and it
will *not* fail (assuming that no parent component was a
magic-link), and you will have an fd for the magic-link.
In order to correctly detect magic-links, the introduction of a new
LOOKUP_MAGICLINK_JUMPED state flag was required.
LOOKUP_BENEATH:
Disallows escapes to outside the starting dirfd's
tree, using techniques such as ".." or absolute links. Absolute
paths in openat(2) are also disallowed.
Conceptually this flag is to ensure you "stay below" a certain
point in the filesystem tree -- but this requires some additional
to protect against various races that would allow escape using
"..".
Currently LOOKUP_BENEATH implies LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS, because it
can trivially beam you around the filesystem (breaking the
protection). In future, there might be similar safety checks done
as in LOOKUP_IN_ROOT, but that requires more discussion.
In addition, two new flags are added that expand on the above ideas:
LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS:
Does what it says on the tin. No symlink resolution is allowed at
all, including magic-links. Just as with LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS this
can still be used with NOFOLLOW to open an fd for the symlink as
long as no parent path had a symlink component.
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT:
This is an extension of LOOKUP_BENEATH that, rather than blocking
attempts to move past the root, forces all such movements to be
scoped to the starting point. This provides chroot(2)-like
protection but without the cost of a chroot(2) for each filesystem
operation, as well as being safe against race attacks that
chroot(2) is not.
If a race is detected (as with LOOKUP_BENEATH) then an error is
generated, and similar to LOOKUP_BENEATH it is not permitted to
cross magic-links with LOOKUP_IN_ROOT.
The primary need for this is from container runtimes, which
currently need to do symlink scoping in userspace[7] when opening
paths in a potentially malicious container.
There is a long list of CVEs that could have bene mitigated by
having RESOLVE_THIS_ROOT (such as CVE-2017-1002101,
CVE-2017-1002102, CVE-2018-15664, and CVE-2019-5736, just to name a
few).
In order to make all of the above more usable, I'm working on
libpathrs[8] which is a C-friendly library for safe path resolution.
It features a userspace-emulated backend if the kernel doesn't support
openat2(2). Hopefully we can get userspace to switch to using it, and
thus get openat2(2) support for free once it's ready.
Future work would include implementing things like
RESOLVE_NO_AUTOMOUNT and possibly a RESOLVE_NO_REMOTE (to allow
programs to be sure they don't hit DoSes though stale NFS handles)"

When an encrypted directory is listed without the key, the filesystem
must show "no-key names" that uniquely identify directory entries, are
at most 255 (NAME_MAX) bytes long, and don't contain '/' or '\0'.
Currently, for short names the no-key name is the base64 encoding of the
ciphertext filename, while for long names it's the base64 encoding of
the ciphertext filename's dirhash and second-to-last 16-byte block.
This format has the following problems:
- Since it doesn't always include the dirhash, it's incompatible with
directories that will use a secret-keyed dirhash over the plaintext
filenames. In this case, the dirhash won't be computable from the
ciphertext name without the key, so it instead must be retrieved from
the directory entry and always included in the no-key name.
Casefolded encrypted directories will use this type of dirhash.
- It's ambiguous: it's possible to craft two filenames that map to the
same no-key name, since the method used to abbreviate long filenames
doesn't use a proper cryptographic hash function.
Solve both these problems by switching to a new no-key name format that
is the base64 encoding of a variable-length structure that contains the
dirhash, up to 149 bytes of the ciphertext filename, and (if any bytes
remain) the SHA-256 of the remaining bytes of the ciphertext filename.
This ensures that each no-key name contains everything needed to find
the directory entry again, contains only legal characters, doesn't
exceed NAME_MAX, is unambiguous unless there's a SHA-256 collision, and
that we only take the performance hit of SHA-256 on very long filenames.
Note: this change does *not* address the existing issue where users can
modify the 'dirhash' part of a no-key name and the filesystem may still
accept the name.

key), clarify some function names, macros, and documentation that
specifically deal with per-file *encryption* keys.

When we allow indexed directories to use both encryption and
casefolding, for the dirhash we can't just hash the ciphertext filenames
that are stored on-disk (as is done currently) because the dirhash must
be case insensitive, but the stored names are case-preserving. Nor can
we hash the plaintext names with an unkeyed hash (or a hash keyed with a
value stored on-disk like ext4's s_hash_seed), since that would leak
information about the names that encryption is meant to protect.
Instead, if we can accept a dirhash that's only computable when the
fscrypt key is available, we can hash the plaintext names with a keyed
hash using a secret key derived from the directory's fscrypt master key.
We'll use SipHash-2-4 for this purpose.
Prepare for this by deriving a SipHash key for each casefolded encrypted
directory. Make sure to handle deriving the key not only when setting
up the directory's fscrypt_info, but also in the case where the casefold
flag is enabled after the fscrypt_info was already set up. (We could
just always derive the key regardless of casefolding, but that would
introduce unnecessary overhead for people not using casefolding.)

Casefolded encrypted directories will use a new dirhash method that
requires a secret key. If the directory uses a v2 encryption policy,
it's easy to derive this key from the master key using HKDF. However,
v1 encryption policies don't provide a way to derive additional keys.
Therefore, don't allow casefolding on directories that use a v1 policy.
Specifically, make it so that trying to enable casefolding on a
directory that has a v1 policy fails, trying to set a v1 policy on a
casefolded directory fails, and trying to open a casefolded directory
that has a v1 policy (if one somehow exists on-disk) fails.

This patch tries to support compression in f2fs.
- New term named cluster is defined as basic unit of compression, file can
be divided into multiple clusters logically. One cluster includes 4 << n
(n >= 0) logical pages, compression size is also cluster size, each of
cluster can be compressed or not.
- In cluster metadata layout, one special flag is used to indicate cluster
is compressed one or normal one, for compressed cluster, following metadata
maps cluster to [1, 4 << n - 1] physical blocks, in where f2fs stores
data including compress header and compressed data.
- In order to eliminate write amplification during overwrite, F2FS only
support compression on write-once file, data can be compressed only when
all logical blocks in file are valid and cluster compress ratio is lower
than specified threshold.
- To enable compression on regular inode, there are three ways:
* chattr +c file
* chattr +c dir; touch dir/file
* mount w/ -o compress_extension=ext; touch file.ext
Compress metadata layout:

When ext4 encryption support was first added, ZERO_RANGE was disallowed,
supposedly because test failures (e.g. ext4/001) were seen when enabling
it, and at the time there wasn't enough time/interest to debug it.
However, there's actually no reason why ZERO_RANGE can't work on
encrypted files. And it fact it *does* work now. Whole blocks in the
zeroed range are converted to unwritten extents, as usual; encryption
makes no difference for that part. Partial blocks are zeroed in the
pagecache and then ->writepages() encrypts those blocks as usual.
ext4_block_zero_page_range() handles reading and decrypting the block if
needed before actually doing the pagecache write.
Also, f2fs has always supported ZERO_RANGE on encrypted files.
As far as I can tell, the reason that ext4/001 was failing in v4.1 was
actually because of one of the bugs fixed by commit 36086d43f6 ("ext4
crypto: fix bugs in ext4_encrypted_zeroout()"). The bug made
ext4_encrypted_zeroout() always return a positive value, which caused
unwritten extents in encrypted files to sometimes not be marked as
initialized after being written to. This bug was not actually in
ZERO_RANGE; it just happened to trigger during the extents manipulation
done in ext4/001 (and probably other tests too).
So, let's enable ZERO_RANGE on encrypted files on ext4.
Tested with:
gce-xfstests -c ext4/encrypt -g auto
gce-xfstests -c ext4/encrypt_1k -g auto
Got the same set of test failures both with and without this patch.
But with this patch 6 fewer tests are skipped: ext4/001, generic/008,
generic/009, generic/033, generic/096, and generic/511.

Extend the FS_IOC_ADD_ENCRYPTION_KEY ioctl to allow the raw key to be
specified by a Linux keyring key, rather than specified directly.
This is useful because fscrypt keys belong to a particular filesystem
instance, so they are destroyed when that filesystem is unmounted.
Usually this is desired. But in some cases, userspace may need to
unmount and re-mount the filesystem while keeping the keys, e.g. during
a system update. This requires keeping the keys somewhere else too.
The keys could be kept in memory in a userspace daemon. But depending
on the security architecture and assumptions, it can be preferable to
keep them only in kernel memory, where they are unreadable by userspace.
We also can't solve this by going back to the original fscrypt API
(where for each file, the master key was looked up in the process's
keyring hierarchy) because that caused lots of problems of its own.
Therefore, add the ability for FS_IOC_ADD_ENCRYPTION_KEY to accept a
Linux keyring key. This solves the problem by allowing userspace to (if
needed) save the keys securely in a Linux keyring for re-provisioning,
while still using the new fscrypt key management ioctls.
This is analogous to how dm-crypt accepts a Linux keyring key, but the
key is then stored internally in the dm-crypt data structures rather
than being looked up again each time the dm-crypt device is accessed.
Use a custom key type "fscrypt-provisioning" rather than one of the
existing key types such as "logon". This is strongly desired because it
enforces that these keys are only usable for a particular purpose: for
fscrypt as input to a particular KDF. Otherwise, the keys could also be
passed to any kernel API that accepts a "logon" key with any service
prefix, e.g. dm-crypt, UBIFS, or (recently proposed) AF_ALG. This would
risk leaking information about the raw key despite it ostensibly being
unreadable. Of course, this mistake has already been made for multiple
kernel APIs; but since this is a new API, let's do it right.
This patch has been tested using an xfstest which I wrote to test it.

Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 5.5-rc1
There's a few minor cleanups and fixes in here, but the majority of the
patches in here fall into two buckets:
- debugfs api cleanups and fixes
- driver core device link support for boot dependancy issues
The debugfs api cleanups are working to slowly refactor the debugfs apis
so that it is even harder to use incorrectly. That work has been
happening for the past few kernel releases and will continue over time,
it's a long-term project/goal
The driver core device link support missed 5.4 by just a bit, so it's
been sitting and baking for many months now. It's from Saravana Kannan
to help resolve the problems that DT-based systems have at boot time
with dependancy graphs and kernel modules. Turns out that no one has
actually tried to build a generic arm64 kernel with loads of modules and
have it "just work" for a variety of platforms (like a distro kernel)
The big problem turned out to be a lack of depandancy information
between different areas of DT entries, and the work here resolves that

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 5.5-rc1
There's a few minor cleanups and fixes in here, but the majority of
the patches in here fall into two buckets:
- debugfs api cleanups and fixes
- driver core device link support for boot dependancy issues
The debugfs api cleanups are working to slowly refactor the debugfs
apis so that it is even harder to use incorrectly. That work has been
happening for the past few kernel releases and will continue over
time, it's a long-term project/goal
The driver core device link support missed 5.4 by just a bit, so it's
been sitting and baking for many months now. It's from Saravana Kannan
to help resolve the problems that DT-based systems have at boot time
with dependancy graphs and kernel modules. Turns out that no one has
actually tried to build a generic arm64 kernel with loads of modules
and have it "just work" for a variety of platforms (like a distro
kernel). The big problem turned out to be a lack of dependency
information between different areas of DT entries, and the work here
resolves that problem and now allows devices to boot properly, and
quicker than a monolith kernel.
All of these patches have been in linux-next for a long time with no
reported issues"

"Expose the fs-verity bit through statx()"

Expose in /sys/fs/f2fs/<blockdev>/main_blkaddr the block address where the
main area starts. This allows user mode programs to determine:
- That pinned files that are made exclusively of fully allocated 2MB
segments will never be unpinned by the file system.
- Where the main area starts. This is required by programs that want to
verify if a file is made exclusively of 2MB f2fs segments, the alignment
boundary for segments starts at this address. Testing for 2MB alignment
relative to the start of the device is incorrect, because for some
filesystems main_blkaddr is not at a 2MB boundary relative to the start
of the device.
The entry will be used when validating reliable pinning file feature proposed
by "f2fs: support aligned pinned file".

The second paragraph of the content section does not properly
describe how mount points are determined by autofs.
Replace the lines detailing how the determination of these mount
points is "ad hoc" by a short description of the mount map syntax
used by autofs.

Some of the struct definitions now have an autofs packet header.
Reflect these changes by adding a definition of this header and
place it wherever suitable.

Convert autofs.txt to reST.
The following changes abound:
- Introduce reST formatting for headings, lists et al.
- Add an indentation of an 8 space tab wherever suitable, so as
to maintain consistency.
- Remove indentation of the description of the ioctls which are similar
to the AUTOFS_IOC ioctls, as it does not come out quite right in HTML.
- Add an entry for autofs in the index.
