Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "maple_tree: Replace big node with maple copy" (Liam Howlett)

   Mainly prepararatory work for ongoing development but it does reduce
   stack usage and is an improvement.

<title>treewide: change inode-&gt;i_ino from unsigned long to u64</title>

<id>0b2600f81cefcdfcda58d50df7be8fd48ada8ce2</id>
<content type='text'>
On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which
causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several
filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that
exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions
and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems.

Change the type of inode-&gt;i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that
inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of
architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to
%llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable
types.

This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series
handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for
better struct packing on 32-bit.

<title>nilfs2: do not propagate ENOENT error from nilfs_btree_propagate()</title>

<id>8e39fbb1edbb4ec9d7c1124f403877fc167fcecd</id>
<content type='text'>
In preparation for writing logs, in nilfs_btree_propagate(), which makes
parent and ancestor node blocks dirty starting from a modified data block
or b-tree node block, if the starting block does not belong to the b-tree,
i.e.  is isolated, nilfs_btree_do_lookup() called within the function
fails with -ENOENT.

In this case, even though -ENOENT is an internal code, it is propagated to
the log writer via nilfs_bmap_propagate() and may be erroneously returned
to system calls such as fsync().

Fix this issue by changing the error code to -EINVAL in this case, and
having the bmap layer detect metadata corruption and convert the error
code appropriately.

In this case, even though -ENOENT is an internal code, it is propagated to
the log writer via nilfs_bmap_propagate() and may be erroneously returned
to system calls such as fsync().

Fix this issue by changing the error code to -EINVAL in this case, and
having the bmap layer detect metadata corruption and convert the error
code appropriately.

Similar to the previous patch to fix the ioctl return value descriptions,
this fixes the format of the return value descriptions for bmap (and
btree)-related functions, which was causing the kernel-doc script to emit
a number of warnings.

The function nilfs_btree_check_delete(), which checks whether degeneration
to direct mapping occurs before deleting a b-tree entry, causes memory
access outside the block buffer when retrieving the maximum key if the
root node has no entries.

This does not usually happen because b-tree mappings with 0 child nodes
are never created by mkfs.nilfs2 or nilfs2 itself.  However, it can happen
if the b-tree root node read from a device is configured that way, so fix
this potential issue by adding a check for that case.

<title>nilfs2: determine empty node blocks as corrupted</title>

Due to the nature of b-trees, nilfs2 itself and admin tools such as
mkfs.nilfs2 will never create an intermediate b-tree node block with 0
child nodes, nor will they delete (key, pointer)-entries that would result
in such a state.  However, it is possible that a b-tree node block is
corrupted on the backing device and is read with 0 child nodes.

Because operation is not guaranteed if the number of child nodes is 0 for
intermediate node blocks other than the root node, modify
nilfs_btree_node_broken(), which performs sanity checks when reading a
b-tree node block, so that such cases will be judged as metadata
corruption.

Patch series "nilfs2: fix potential issues with empty b-tree nodes".

This series addresses three potential issues with empty b-tree nodes that
can occur with corrupted filesystem images, including one recently
discovered by syzbot.


This patch (of 3):

If a b-tree is broken on the device, and the b-tree height is greater than
2 (the level of the root node is greater than 1) even if the number of
child nodes of the b-tree root is 0, a NULL pointer dereference occurs in
nilfs_btree_prepare_insert(), which is called from nilfs_btree_insert().

This is because, when the number of child nodes of the b-tree root is 0,
nilfs_btree_do_lookup() does not set the block buffer head in any of
path[x].bp_bh, leaving it as the initial value of NULL, but if the level
of the b-tree root node is greater than 1, nilfs_btree_get_nonroot_node(),
which accesses the buffer memory of path[x].bp_bh, is called.

Fix this issue by adding a check to nilfs_btree_root_broken(), which
performs sanity checks when reading the root node from the device, to
detect this inconsistency.

Thanks to Lizhi Xu for trying to solve the bug and clarifying the cause
early on.

Syzbot reported that a buffer state inconsistency was detected in
nilfs_btnode_create_block(), triggering a kernel bug.

It is not appropriate to treat this inconsistency as a bug; it can occur
if the argument block address (the buffer index of the newly created
block) is a virtual block number and has been reallocated due to
corruption of the bitmap used to manage its allocation state.

So, modify nilfs_btnode_create_block() and its callers to treat it as a
possible filesystem error, rather than triggering a kernel bug.
