 "A fair amount of stuff this time around, dominated by yet another
  massive set from Mauro toward the completion of the RST conversion. I
  *really* hope we are getting close to the end of this. Meanwhile,
  those patches reach pretty far afield to update document references
  around the tree; there should be no actual code changes there. There
  will be, alas, more of the usual trivial merge conflicts.

  Beyond that we have more translations, improvements to the sphinx
  scripting, a number of additions to the sysctl documentation, and lots
  of fixes"

cachefiles: Fix race between read_waiter and read_copier involving op->to_do

2020-05-08T22:01:10+00:00

There is a potential race in fscache operation enqueuing for reading and
copying multiple pages from cachefiles to netfs.  The problem can be seen
easily on a heavy loaded system (for example many processes reading files
continually on an NFS share covered by fscache triggered this problem within
a few minutes).

The race is due to cachefiles_read_waiter() adding the op to the monitor
to_do list and then then drop the object->work_lock spinlock before
completing fscache_enqueue_operation().  Once the lock is dropped,
cachefiles_read_copier() grabs the op, completes processing it, and
makes it through fscache_retrieval_complete() which sets the op->state to
the final state of FSCACHE_OP_ST_COMPLETE(4).  When cachefiles_read_waiter()
finally gets through the remainder of fscache_enqueue_operation()
it sees the invalid state, and hits the ASSERTCMP and the following
oops is seen:

cachefiles: Fix corruption of the return value in cachefiles_read_or_alloc_pages()

2020-05-04T15:20:13+00:00

The patch which changed cachefiles from calling ->bmap() to using the
bmap() wrapper overwrote the running return value with the result of
calling bmap().  This causes an assertion failure elsewhere in the code.

Fix this by using ret2 rather than ret to hold the return value.

The oops looks like:

cachefiles: avoid deprecated get_seconds()

2018-11-30T16:00:58+00:00

get_seconds() returns an unsigned long can overflow on some architectures
and is deprecated because of that. In cachefs, we cast that number to
a a 32-bit integer, which will overflow in year 2106 on all architectures.

As confirmed by David Howells, the overflow probably isn't harmful
in the end, since the timestamps are only used to make the file names
unique, but they don't strictly have to be in monotonically increasing
order since the files only exist in order to be deleted as quickly
as possible.

Moving to ktime_get_real_seconds() avoids the deprecated interface.
