commit 230f5a8969d8345fc9bbe3683f068246cf1be4b8 upstream.

Gerd reports that -&gt;i_mode may contain other bits besides S_IFCHR. Use
S_ISCHR() instead. Otherwise, get_user_pages_longterm() may fail on
device-dax instances when those are meant to be explicitly allowed.

commit 2bb6d2837083de722bfdc369cb0d76ce188dd9b4 upstream.

Patch series "introduce get_user_pages_longterm()", v2.

Here is a new get_user_pages api for cases where a driver intends to
keep an elevated page count indefinitely.  This is distinct from usages
like iov_iter_get_pages where the elevated page counts are transient.
The iov_iter_get_pages cases immediately turn around and submit the
pages to a device driver which will put_page when the i/o operation
completes (under kernel control).

In the longterm case userspace is responsible for dropping the page
reference at some undefined point in the future.  This is untenable for
filesystem-dax case where the filesystem is in control of the lifetime
of the block / page and needs reasonable limits on how long it can wait
for pages in a mapping to become idle.

Fixing filesystems to actually wait for dax pages to be idle before
blocks from a truncate/hole-punch operation are repurposed is saved for
a later patch series.

Also, allowing longterm registration of dax mappings is a future patch
series that introduces a "map with lease" semantic where the kernel can
revoke a lease and force userspace to drop its page references.

I have also tagged these for -stable to purposely break cases that might
assume that longterm memory registrations for filesystem-dax mappings
were supported by the kernel.  The behavior regression this policy
change implies is one of the reasons we maintain the "dax enabled.
Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk" notification when mounting
a filesystem in dax mode.

It is worth noting the device-dax interface does not suffer the same
constraints since it does not support file space management operations
like hole-punch.

This patch (of 4):

Until there is a solution to the dma-to-dax vs truncate problem it is
not safe to allow long standing memory registrations against
filesytem-dax vmas.  Device-dax vmas do not have this problem and are
explicitly allowed.

This is temporary until a "memory registration with layout-lease"
mechanism can be implemented for the affected sub-systems (RDMA and
V4L2).

<title>xfs: evict all inodes involved with log redo item</title>

commit 799ea9e9c59949008770aab4e1da87f10e99dbe4 upstream.

When we introduced the bmap redo log items, we set MS_ACTIVE on the
mountpoint and XFS_IRECOVERY on the inode to prevent unlinked inodes
from being truncated prematurely during log recovery.  This also had the
effect of putting linked inodes on the lru instead of evicting them.

Unfortunately, we neglected to find all those unreferenced lru inodes
and evict them after finishing log recovery, which means that we leak
them if anything goes wrong in the rest of xfs_mountfs, because the lru
is only cleaned out on unmount.

Therefore, evict unreferenced inodes in the lru list immediately
after clearing MS_ACTIVE.

<title>Clarify (and fix) MAX_LFS_FILESIZE macros</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 0cc3b0ec23ce4c69e1e890ed2b8d2fa932b14aad upstream.

We have a MAX_LFS_FILESIZE macro that is meant to be filled in by
filesystems (and other IO targets) that know they are 64-bit clean and
don't have any 32-bit limits in their IO path.

It turns out that our 32-bit value for that limit was bogus.  On 32-bit,
the VM layer is limited by the page cache to only 32-bit index values,
but our logic for that was confusing and actually wrong.  We used to
define that value to

	(((loff_t)PAGE_SIZE &lt;&lt; (BITS_PER_LONG-1))-1)

which is actually odd in several ways: it limits the index to 31 bits,
and then it limits files so that they can't have data in that last byte
of a page that has the highest 31-bit index (ie page index 0x7fffffff).

Neither of those limitations make sense.  The index is actually the full
32 bit unsigned value, and we can use that whole full page.  So the
maximum size of the file would logically be "PAGE_SIZE &lt;&lt; BITS_PER_LONG".

However, we do wan tto avoid the maximum index, because we have code
that iterates over the page indexes, and we don't want that code to
overflow.  So the maximum size of a file on a 32-bit host should
actually be one page less than the full 32-bit index.

So the actual limit is ULONG_MAX &lt;&lt; PAGE_SHIFT.  That means that we will
not actually be using the page of that last index (ULONG_MAX), but we
can grow a file up to that limit.

The wrong value of MAX_LFS_FILESIZE actually caused problems for Doug
Nazar, who was still using a 32-bit host, but with a 9.7TB 2 x RAID5
volume.  It turns out that our old MAX_LFS_FILESIZE was 8TiB (well, one
byte less), but the actual true VM limit is one page less than 16TiB.

This was invisible until commit c2a9737f45e2 ("vfs,mm: fix a dead loop
in truncate_inode_pages_range()"), which started applying that
MAX_LFS_FILESIZE limit to block devices too.

NOTE! On 64-bit, the page index isn't a limiter at all, and the limit is
actually just the offset type itself (loff_t), which is signed.  But for
clarity, on 64-bit, just use the maximum signed value, and don't make
people have to count the number of 'f' characters in the hex constant.

So just use LLONG_MAX for the 64-bit case.  That was what the value had
been before too, just written out as a hex constant.

<content type='text'>
Currently we dropped freeze protection of aio writes just after IO was
submitted. Thus aio write could be in flight while the filesystem was
frozen and that could result in unexpected situation like aio completion
wanting to convert extent type on frozen filesystem. Testcase from
Dmitry triggering this is like:

for ((i=0;i&lt;60;i++));do fsfreeze -f /mnt ;sleep 1;fsfreeze -u /mnt;done &amp;
fio --bs=4k --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=128 --size=1g --direct=1 \
    --runtime=60 --filename=/mnt/file --name=rand-write --rw=randwrite

Fix the problem by dropping freeze protection only once IO is completed
in aio_complete().

Currently we dropped freeze protection of aio writes just after IO was
submitted. Thus aio write could be in flight while the filesystem was
frozen and that could result in unexpected situation like aio completion
wanting to convert extent type on frozen filesystem. Testcase from
Dmitry triggering this is like:

for ((i=0;i&lt;60;i++));do fsfreeze -f /mnt ;sleep 1;fsfreeze -u /mnt;done &amp;
fio --bs=4k --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=128 --size=1g --direct=1 \
    --runtime=60 --filename=/mnt/file --name=rand-write --rw=randwrite

This helper is for filesystems that want to read the symlink and are better
off with the get_link() interface (returning a char *) rather than the
readlink() interface (copy into a userspace buffer).

Also call the LSM hook for readlink (not get_link) since this is for
symlink reading not following.

<title>mm: split gfp_mask and mapping flags into separate fields</title>

mapping-&gt;flags currently encodes two different things into a single flag.
It contains sticky gfp_mask for page cache allocations and AS_ codes used
to report errors/enospace and other states which are mapping specific.
Condensing the two semantically unrelated things saves few bytes but it
also complicates other things.  For one thing the gfp flags space is
reduced and in fact we are already running out of available bits.  It can
be assumed that more gfp flags will be necessary later on.

To not introduce the address_space grow (at least on x86_64) we can stick
it right after private_lock because we have a hole there.
