HWPoison: my reading of folio_test_hwpoison() is that it only tests the
head page of a large folio, whereas splice_folio_into_pipe() will splice
as much of the folio as it can: so for safety we should also check the
has_hwpoisoned flag, set if any of the folio's pages are hwpoisoned.
(Perhaps that ugliness can be improved at the mm end later.)
The call to splice_zeropage_into_pipe() risked overrunning past EOF: ask
it for "part" not "len".

The new filemap_splice_read() has an implicit expectation via
filemap_get_pages() that ->read_folio() exists if ->readahead() doesn't
fully populate the pagecache of the file it is reading from[1], potentially
leading to a jump to NULL if this doesn't exist. shmem, however, (and by
extension, tmpfs, ramfs and rootfs), doesn't have ->read_folio(),
Work around this by equipping shmem with its own splice-read
implementation, based on filemap_splice_read(), but able to paste in
zero_page when there's a page missing.

Many userfaultfd ioctl functions take both a 'mode' and a 'wp_copy'
argument. In future commits we plan to plumb the flags through to more
places, so we'd be proliferating the very long argument list even further.
Let's take the time to simplify the argument list. Combine the two
arguments into one - and generalize, so when we add more flags in the
future, it doesn't imply more function arguments.
Since the modes (copy, zeropage, continue) are mutually exclusive, store
them as an integer value (0, 1, 2) in the low bits. Place combine-able
flag bits in the high bits.
This is quite similar to an earlier patch proposed by Nadav Amit
("userfaultfd: introduce uffd_flags" [1]). The main difference is that
patch only handled flags, whereas this patch *also* combines the "mode"
argument into the same type to shorten the argument list.

Quite a few userfaultfd functions took both mm and vma pointers as
arguments. Since the mm is trivially accessible via vma->vm_mm, there's
no reason to pass both; it just needlessly extends the already long
argument list.
Get rid of the mm pointer, where possible, to shorten the argument list.

Use the very low level filemap_get_entry helper to look up the entry in
the xarray, and then:
- don't bother locking the folio if only doing a userfault notification
- open code locking the page and checking for truncation in a related
code block
This will allow to eventually remove the FGP_ENTRY flag.

In doing experimentations with shmem having the option to avoid swap
becomes a useful mechanism. One of the *raves* about brd over shmem is
you can avoid swap, but that's not really a good reason to use brd if we
can instead use shmem. Using brd has its own good reasons to exist, but
just because "tmpfs" doesn't let you do that is not a great reason to
avoid it if we can easily add support for it.
I don't add support for reconfiguring incompatible options, but if we
really wanted to we can add support for that.
To avoid swap we use mapping_set_unevictable() upon inode creation, and
put a WARN_ON_ONCE() stop-gap on writepages() for reclaim.

In theory when info->flags & VM_LOCKED we should not be getting
shem_writepage() called so we should be verifying this with a
WARN_ON_ONCE(). Since we should not be swapping then best to ensure we
also don't do the folio split earlier too. So just move the check early
to avoid folio splits in case its a dubious call.
We also have a similar early bail when !total_swap_pages so just move that
earlier to avoid the possible folio split in the same situation.

i915_gem requires huge folios to be split when swapping. However we have
check for usage of writepages() to ensure it used only for swap purposes
later. Avoid the splits if we're not being called for reclaim, even if
they should in theory not happen.
This makes the conditions easier to follow on shem_writepage().

shmem_writepage() sets up variables typically used *after* a possible huge
page split. However even if that does happen the address space mapping
should not change, and the inode does not change either. So it should be
safe to set that from the very beginning.
This commit makes no functional changes.

Patch series "tmpfs: add the option to disable swap", v2.
I'm doing this work as part of future experimentation with tmpfs and the
page cache, but given a common complaint found about tmpfs is the
innability to work without the page cache I figured this might be useful
to others. It turns out it is -- at least Christian Brauner indicates
systemd uses ramfs for a few use-cases because they don't want to use swap
and so having this option would let them move over to using tmpfs for
those small use cases, see systemd-creds(1).
To see if you hit swap:
mkswap /dev/nvme2n1
swapon /dev/nvme2n1
free -h
With swap - what we see today
=============================
mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/data-tmpfs/5g-rand2 bs=1G count=5
free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3.7Gi 2.6Gi 1.2Gi 2.2Gi 2.2Gi 1.2Gi

Without swap
=============
free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3.7Gi 387Mi 3.4Gi 2.1Mi 57Mi 3.3Gi
Swap: 99Gi 0B 99Gi

Mem: 3.7Gi 2.6Gi 1.2Gi 2.3Gi 2.3Gi 1.1Gi

The mix and match remount testing
=================================
# Cannot disable swap after it was first enabled:
mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
mount -t tmpfs -o remount -o size=5G -o noswap tmpfs /data-tmpfs/

dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
dmesg -c

# Remount with the same noswap option is OK:

This patch (of 6):
Matthew notes we should not need to check the folio lock on the
writepage() callback so remove it. This sanity check has been lingering
since linux-history days. We remove this as we tidy up the writepage()
callback to make things a bit clearer.

Merge tag 'fs.idmapped.v6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping
Pull vfs idmapping updates from Christian Brauner:
- Last cycle we introduced the dedicated struct mnt_idmap type for
mount idmapping and the required infrastucture in 256c8aed2b ("fs:
introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). As promised in last
cycle's pull request message this converts everything to rely on
struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached
to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy
to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with
namespaces that are relevant on the mount level. Especially for
non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this was a
potential source for bugs.
This finishes the conversion. Instead of passing the plain namespace
around this updates all places that currently take a pointer to a
mnt_userns with a pointer to struct mnt_idmap.
Now that the conversion is done all helpers down to the really
low-level helpers only accept a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments.
Conflating mount and other idmappings will now cause the compiler to
complain loudly thus eliminating the possibility of any bugs. This
makes it impossible for filesystem developers to mix up mount and
filesystem idmappings as they are two distinct types and require
distinct helpers that cannot be used interchangeably.
Everything associated with struct mnt_idmap is moved into a single
separate file. With that change no code can poke around in struct
mnt_idmap. It can only be interacted with through dedicated helpers.
That means all filesystems are and all of the vfs is completely
oblivious to the actual implementation of idmappings.
We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap as we see fit. For
example, we can decouple it completely from namespaces for users that
don't require or don't want to use them at all. We can also extend
the concept of idmappings so we can cover filesystem specific
requirements.
In combination with the vfs{g,u}id_t work we finished in v6.2 this
makes this feature substantially more robust and thus difficult to
implement wrong by a given filesystem and also protects the vfs.
- Enable idmapped mounts for tmpfs and fulfill a longstanding request.
A long-standing request from users had been to make it possible to
create idmapped mounts for tmpfs. For example, to share the host's
tmpfs mount between multiple sandboxes. This is a prerequisite for
some advanced Kubernetes cases. Systemd also has a range of use-cases
to increase service isolation. And there are more users of this.
However, with all of the other work going on this was way down on the
priority list but luckily someone other than ourselves picked this
up.
As usual the patch is tiny as all the infrastructure work had been
done multiple kernel releases ago. In addition to all the tests that
we already have I requested that Rodrigo add a dedicated tmpfs
testsuite for idmapped mounts to xfstests. It is to be included into
xfstests during the v6.3 development cycle. This should add a slew of
additional tests.

Pass vm_flags as a parameter to shmem_is_huge, rather than reading the
flags from the vm_area_struct in question. This allows the updated flags
from hugepage_madvise to be passed to the check, which is necessary
because madvise does not update the vm_area_struct's flags until after
hugepage_madvise returns.
This fixes an issue when shmem_enabled=madvise, where MADV_HUGEPAGE on
shmem was not able to register the mm_struct with khugepaged. Prior to
cd89fb0650, the mm_struct was registered by MADV_HUGEPAGE regardless of
the value of shmem_enabled (which was only checked when scanning vmas).

This patch enables idmapped mounts for tmpfs when CONFIG_SHMEM is defined.
Since all dedicated helpers for this functionality exist, in this
patch we just pass down the idmap argument from the VFS methods to the
relevant helpers.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.
Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems

All its callers either already hold a reference to, or lock the swap
device while calling this function. There is only one exception in
shmem_swapin_folio, just make this caller also hold a reference of the
swap device, so this helper can be simplified and saves a few cycles.
This also provides finer control of error handling in shmem_swapin_folio,
on race (with swap off), it can just try again. For invalid swap entry,
it can fail with a proper error code.

Patch series "mm/memfd: introduce MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL and MFD_EXEC", v8.
Since Linux introduced the memfd feature, memfd have always had their
execute bit set, and the memfd_create() syscall doesn't allow setting it
differently.
However, in a secure by default system, such as ChromeOS, (where all
executables should come from the rootfs, which is protected by Verified
boot), this executable nature of memfd opens a door for NoExec bypass and
enables “confused deputy attack”. E.g, in VRP bug [1]: cros_vm
process created a memfd to share the content with an external process,
however the memfd is overwritten and used for executing arbitrary code and
root escalation. [2] lists more VRP in this kind.
On the other hand, executable memfd has its legit use, runc uses memfd’s
seal and executable feature to copy the contents of the binary then
execute them, for such system, we need a solution to differentiate runc's
use of executable memfds and an attacker's [3].
To address those above, this set of patches add following:
1> Let memfd_create() set X bit at creation time.
2> Let memfd to be sealed for modifying X bit.
3> A new pid namespace sysctl: vm.memfd_noexec to control the behavior of
X bit.For example, if a container has vm.memfd_noexec=2, then
memfd_create() without MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL will be rejected.
4> A new security hook in memfd_create(). This make it possible to a new
LSM, which rejects or allows executable memfd based on its security policy.
This patch (of 5):
The new F_SEAL_EXEC flag will prevent modification of the exec bits:
written as traditional octal mask, 0111, or as named flags, S_IXUSR |
S_IXGRP | S_IXOTH. Any chmod(2) or similar call that attempts to modify
any of these bits after the seal is applied will fail with errno EPERM.
This will preserve the execute bits as they are at the time of sealing, so
the memfd will become either permanently executable or permanently
un-executable.

Pull simple-xattr updates from Christian Brauner:
"This ports the simple xattr infrastucture to rely on a simple rbtree
protected by a read-write lock instead of a linked list protected by a
spinlock.
A while ago we received reports about scaling issues for filesystems
using the simple xattr infrastructure that also support setting a
larger number of xattrs. Specifically, cgroups and tmpfs.
Both cgroupfs and tmpfs can be mounted by unprivileged users in
unprivileged containers and root in an unprivileged container can set
an unrestricted number of security.* xattrs and privileged users can
also set unlimited trusted.* xattrs. A few more words on further that
below. Other xattrs such as user.* are restricted for kernfs-based
instances to a fairly limited number.
As there are apparently users that have a fairly large number of
xattrs we should scale a bit better. Using a simple linked list
protected by a spinlock used for set, get, and list operations doesn't
scale well if users use a lot of xattrs even if it's not a crazy
number.
Let's switch to a simple rbtree protected by a rwlock. It scales way
better and gets rid of the perf issues some people reported. We
originally had fancier solutions even using an rcu+seqlock protected
rbtree but we had concerns about being to clever and also that
deletion from an rbtree with rcu+seqlock isn't entirely safe.
The rbtree plus rwlock is perfectly fine. By far the most common
operation is getting an xattr. While setting an xattr is not and
should be comparatively rare. And listxattr() often only happens when
copying xattrs between files or together with the contents to a new
file.
Holding a lock across listxattr() is unproblematic because it doesn't
list the values of xattrs. It can only be used to list the names of
all xattrs set on a file. And the number of xattr names that can be
listed with listxattr() is limited to XATTR_LIST_MAX aka 65536 bytes.
If a larger buffer is passed then vfs_listxattr() caps it to
XATTR_LIST_MAX and if more xattr names are found it will return
-E2BIG. In short, the maximum amount of memory that can be retrieved
via listxattr() is limited and thus listxattr() bounded.
Of course, the API is broken as documented on xattr(7) already. While
I have no idea how the xattr api ended up in this state we should
probably try to come up with something here at some point. An iterator
pattern similar to readdir() as an alternative to listxattr() or
something else.
Right now it is extremly strange that users can set millions of xattrs
but then can't use listxattr() to know which xattrs are actually set.
And it's really trivial to do:
for i in {1..1000000}; do setfattr -n security.$i -v $i ./file1; done
And around 5000 xattrs it's impossible to use listxattr() to figure
out which xattrs are actually set. So I have suggested that we try to
limit the number of xattrs for simple xattrs at least. But that's a
future patch and I don't consider it very urgent.
A bonus of this port to rbtree+rwlock is that we shrink the memory
consumption for users of the simple xattr infrastructure.
This also adds kernel documentation to all the functions"

Pull VFS acl updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work that builds a dedicated vfs posix acl api.
The origins of this work trace back to v5.19 but it took quite a while
to understand the various filesystem specific implementations in
sufficient detail and also come up with an acceptable solution.
As we discussed and seen multiple times the current state of how posix
acls are handled isn't nice and comes with a lot of problems: The
current way of handling posix acls via the generic xattr api is error
prone, hard to maintain, and type unsafe for the vfs until we call
into the filesystem's dedicated get and set inode operations.
It is already the case that posix acls are special-cased to death all
the way through the vfs. There are an uncounted number of hacks that
operate on the uapi posix acl struct instead of the dedicated vfs
struct posix_acl. And the vfs must be involved in order to interpret
and fixup posix acls before storing them to the backing store, caching
them, reporting them to userspace, or for permission checking.
Currently a range of hacks and duct tape exist to make this work. As
with most things this is really no ones fault it's just something that
happened over time. But the code is hard to understand and difficult
to maintain and one is constantly at risk of introducing bugs and
regressions when having to touch it.
Instead of continuing to hack posix acls through the xattr handlers
this series builds a dedicated posix acl api solely around the get and
set inode operations.
Going forward, the vfs_get_acl(), vfs_remove_acl(), and vfs_set_acl()
helpers must be used in order to interact with posix acls. They
operate directly on the vfs internal struct posix_acl instead of
abusing the uapi posix acl struct as we currently do. In the end this
removes all of the hackiness, makes the codepaths easier to maintain,
and gets us type safety.
This series passes the LTP and xfstests suites without any
regressions. For xfstests the following combinations were tested:
- xfs
- ext4
- btrfs
- overlayfs
- overlayfs on top of idmapped mounts
- orangefs
- (limited) cifs
There's more simplifications for posix acls that we can make in the
future if the basic api has made it.
A few implementation details:
- The series makes sure to retain exactly the same security and
integrity module permission checks. Especially for the integrity
modules this api is a win because right now they convert the uapi
posix acl struct passed to them via a void pointer into the vfs
struct posix_acl format to perform permission checking on the mode.
There's a new dedicated security hook for setting posix acls which
passes the vfs struct posix_acl not a void pointer. Basing checking
on the posix acl stored in the uapi format is really unreliable.
The vfs currently hacks around directly in the uapi struct storing
values that frankly the security and integrity modules can't
correctly interpret as evidenced by bugs we reported and fixed in
this area. It's not necessarily even their fault it's just that the
format we provide to them is sub optimal.
- Some filesystems like 9p and cifs need access to the dentry in
order to get and set posix acls which is why they either only
partially or not even at all implement get and set inode
operations. For example, cifs allows setxattr() and getxattr()
operations but doesn't allow permission checking based on posix
acls because it can't implement a get acl inode operation.
Thus, this patch series updates the set acl inode operation to take
a dentry instead of an inode argument. However, for the get acl
inode operation we can't do this as the old get acl method is
called in e.g., generic_permission() and inode_permission(). These
helpers in turn are called in various filesystem's permission inode
operation. So passing a dentry argument to the old get acl inode
operation would amount to passing a dentry to the permission inode
operation which we shouldn't and probably can't do.
So instead of extending the existing inode operation Christoph
suggested to add a new one. He also requested to ensure that the
get and set acl inode operation taking a dentry are consistently
named. So for this version the old get acl operation is renamed to
->get_inode_acl() and a new ->get_acl() inode operation taking a
dentry is added. With this we can give both 9p and cifs get and set
acl inode operations and in turn remove their complex custom posix
xattr handlers.
In the future I hope to get rid of the inode method duplication but
it isn't like we have never had this situation. Readdir is just one
example. And frankly, the overall gain in type safety and the more
pleasant api wise are simply too big of a benefit to not accept
this duplication for a while.
- We've done a full audit of every codepaths using variant of the
current generic xattr api to get and set posix acls and
surprisingly it isn't that many places. There's of course always a
chance that we might have missed some and if so I'm sure we'll find
them soon enough.
The crucial codepaths to be converted are obviously stacking
filesystems such as ecryptfs and overlayfs.
For a list of all callers currently using generic xattr api helpers
see [2] including comments whether they support posix acls or not.
- The old vfs generic posix acl infrastructure doesn't obey the
create and replace semantics promised on the setxattr(2) manpage.
This patch series doesn't address this. It really is something we
should revisit later though.
The patches are roughly organized as follows:
(1) Change existing set acl inode operation to take a dentry
argument (Intended to be a non-functional change)
(2) Rename existing get acl method (Intended to be a non-functional
change)
(3) Implement get and set acl inode operations for filesystems that
couldn't implement one before because of the missing dentry.
That's mostly 9p and cifs (Intended to be a non-functional
change)
(4) Build posix acl api, i.e., add vfs_get_acl(), vfs_remove_acl(),
and vfs_set_acl() including security and integrity hooks
(Intended to be a non-functional change)
(5) Implement get and set acl inode operations for stacking
filesystems (Intended to be a non-functional change)
(6) Switch posix acl handling in stacking filesystems to new posix
acl api now that all filesystems it can stack upon support it.
(7) Switch vfs to new posix acl api (semantical change)
(8) Remove all now unused helpers
(9) Additional regression fixes reported after we merged this into
linux-next

encouragement and input from Christoph"

Fix tmpfs data loss when the fallocate system call is interrupted by a
signal, or fails for some other reason. The partial folio handling in
shmem_undo_range() forgot to consider this unfalloc case, and was liable
to erase or truncate out data which had already been committed earlier.
It turns out that none of the partial folio handling there is appropriate
for the unfalloc case, which just wants to proceed to removal of whole
folios: which find_get_entries() provides, even when partially covered.

Since commit 9a10064f56 ("mm: add a field to store names for private
anonymous memory"), name for private anonymous memory, but not shared
anonymous, can be set. However, naming shared anonymous memory just as
useful for tracking purposes.
Extend the functionality to be able to set names for shared anon.
There are two ways to create anonymous shared memory, using memfd or
directly via mmap():
1. fd = memfd_create(...)
mem = mmap(..., MAP_SHARED, fd, ...)
2. mem = mmap(..., MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, ...)
In both cases the anonymous shared memory is created the same way by
mapping an unlinked file on tmpfs.
The memfd way allows to give a name for anonymous shared memory, but
not useful when parts of shared memory require to have distinct names.
Example use case: The VMM maps VM memory as anonymous shared memory (not
private because VMM is sandboxed and drivers are running in their own
processes). However, the VM tells back to the VMM how parts of the memory
are actually used by the guest, how each of the segments should be backed
(i.e. 4K pages, 2M pages), and some other information about the segments.
The naming allows us to monitor the effective memory footprint for each
of these segments from the host without looking inside the guest.
Sample output:
/* Create shared anonymous segmenet */
anon_shmem = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
/* Name the segment: "MY-NAME" */
rv = prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME,
anon_shmem, SIZE, "MY-NAME");
cat /proc/<pid>/maps (and smaps):
7fc8e2b4c000-7fc8f2b4c000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1024 [anon_shmem:MY-NAME]
If the segment is not named, the output is:
7fc8e2b4c000-7fc8f2b4c000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1024 /dev/zero (deleted)

PTE markers are ideal mechanism for things like SWP_SWAPIN_ERROR. Using a
whole swap entry type for this purpose can be an overkill, especially if
we already have PTE markers. Define a new bit for swapin error and
replace it with pte markers. Then we can safely drop SWP_SWAPIN_ERROR and
give one device slot back to swap.
We used to have SWP_SWAPIN_ERROR taking the page pfn as part of the swap
entry, but it's never used. Neither do I see how it can be useful because
normally the swapin failure should not be caused by a bad page but bad
swap device. Drop it alongside.

A while ago Vasily reported that it is possible to set a large number of
xattrs on inodes of filesystems that make use of the simple xattr
infrastructure. This includes all kernfs-based filesystems that support
xattrs (e.g., cgroupfs and tmpfs). Both cgroupfs and tmpfs can be
mounted by unprivileged users in unprivileged containers and root in an
unprivileged container can set an unrestricted number of security.*
xattrs and privileged users can also set unlimited trusted.* xattrs. As
there are apparently users that have a fairly large number of xattrs we
should scale a bit better. Other xattrs such as user.* are restricted
for kernfs-based instances to a fairly limited number.
Using a simple linked list protected by a spinlock used for set, get,
and list operations doesn't scale well if users use a lot of xattrs even
if it's not a crazy number. There's no need to bring in the big guns
like rhashtables or rw semaphores for this. An rbtree with a rwlock, or
limited rcu semanics and seqlock is enough.
It scales within the constraints we are working in. By far the most
common operation is getting an xattr. Setting xattrs should be a
moderately rare operation. And listxattr() often only happens when
copying xattrs between files or together with the contents to a new
file. Holding a lock across listxattr() is unproblematic because it
doesn't list the values of xattrs. It can only be used to list the names
of all xattrs set on a file. And the number of xattr names that can be
listed with listxattr() is limited to XATTR_LIST_MAX aka 65536 bytes. If
a larger buffer is passed then vfs_listxattr() caps it to XATTR_LIST_MAX
and if more xattr names are found it will return -E2BIG. In short, the
maximum amount of memory that can be retrieved via listxattr() is
limited.
Of course, the API is broken as documented on xattr(7) already. In the
future we might want to address this but for now this is the world we
live in and have lived for a long time. But it does indeed mean that
once an application goes over XATTR_LIST_MAX limit of xattrs set on an
inode it isn't possible to copy the file and include its xattrs in the
copy unless the caller knows all xattrs or limits the copy of the xattrs
to important ones it knows by name (At least for tmpfs, and kernfs-based
filesystems. Other filesystems might provide ways of achieving this.).
Bonus of this port to rbtree+rwlock is that we shrink the memory
consumption for users of the simple xattr infrastructure.
Also add proper kernel documentation to all the functions.
A big thanks to Paul for his comments.
