 "A few differerent things in here.

  Seems like syzbot got some more io_uring bits wired up, and we got a
  handful of reports and the associated fixes are in here.

  General fixes too, and a lot of them marked for stable.

  Lastly, a bit of fallout from the async buffered reads, where we now
  more easily trigger short reads. Some applications don't really like
  that, so the io_read() code now handles short reads internally, and
  got a cleanup along the way so that it's now easier to read (and
  documented). We're now passing tests that failed before"

<title>hugetlbfs: remove call to huge_pte_alloc without i_mmap_rwsem</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit c0d0381ade79 ("hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more pmd sharing
synchronization") requires callers of huge_pte_alloc to hold i_mmap_rwsem
in at least read mode.  This is because the explicit locking in
huge_pmd_share (called by huge_pte_alloc) was removed.  When restructuring
the code, the call to huge_pte_alloc in the else block at the beginning of
hugetlb_fault was missed.

Unfortunately, that else clause is exercised when there is no page table
entry.  This will likely lead to a call to huge_pmd_share.  If
huge_pmd_share thinks pmd sharing is possible, it will traverse the
mapping tree (i_mmap) without holding i_mmap_rwsem.  If someone else is
modifying the tree, bad things such as addressing exceptions or worse
could happen.

Simply remove the else clause.  It should have been removed previously.
The code following the else will call huge_pte_alloc with the appropriate
locking.

To prevent this type of issue in the future, add routines to assert that
i_mmap_rwsem is held, and call these routines in huge pmd sharing
routines.

<title>fs: RWF_NOWAIT should imply IOCB_NOIO</title>

<id>efa8480a831673bb52400df9dbe5da0aacda97bf</id>
<content type='text'>
With the change allowing read-ahead for IOCB_NOWAIT, we changed the
RWF_NOWAIT semantics of only doing cached reads. Since we know have
IOCB_NOIO to manage that specific side of it, just make RWF_NOWAIT
imply IOCB_NOIO as well to restore the previous behavior.

The current split between do_mmap() and do_mmap_pgoff() was introduced in
commit 1fcfd8db7f82 ("mm, mpx: add "vm_flags_t vm_flags" arg to
do_mmap_pgoff()") to support MPX.

The wrapper function do_mmap_pgoff() always passed 0 as the value of the
vm_flags argument to do_mmap().  However, MPX support has subsequently
been removed from the kernel and there were no more direct callers of
do_mmap(); all calls were going via do_mmap_pgoff().

Simplify the code by removing do_mmap_pgoff() and changing all callers to
directly call do_mmap(), which now no longer takes a vm_flags argument.

Patch series "tmpfs: inode: Reduce risk of inum overflow", v7.

In Facebook production we are seeing heavy i_ino wraparounds on tmpfs.  On
affected tiers, in excess of 10% of hosts show multiple files with
different content and the same inode number, with some servers even having
as many as 150 duplicated inode numbers with differing file content.

This causes actual, tangible problems in production.  For example, we have
complaints from those working on remote caches that their application is
reporting cache corruptions because it uses (device, inodenum) to
establish the identity of a particular cache object, but because it's not
unique any more, the application refuses to continue and reports cache
corruption.  Even worse, sometimes applications may not even detect the
corruption but may continue anyway, causing phantom and hard to debug
behaviour.

In general, userspace applications expect that (device, inodenum) should
be enough to be uniquely point to one inode, which seems fair enough.  One
might also need to check the generation, but in this case:

1. That's not currently exposed to userspace
   (ioctl(...FS_IOC_GETVERSION...) returns ENOTTY on tmpfs);
2. Even with generation, there shouldn't be two live inodes with the
   same inode number on one device.

In order to mitigate this, we take a two-pronged approach:

1. Moving inum generation from being global to per-sb for tmpfs. This
   itself allows some reduction in i_ino churn. This works on both 64-
   and 32- bit machines.
2. Adding inode{64,32} for tmpfs. This fix is supported on machines with
   64-bit ino_t only: we allow users to mount tmpfs with a new inode64
   option that uses the full width of ino_t, or CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64.

You can see how this compares to previous related patches which didn't
implement this per-superblock:

- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11254001/
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11023915/

This patch (of 2):

get_next_ino has a number of problems:

- It uses and returns a uint, which is susceptible to become overflowed
  if a lot of volatile inodes that use get_next_ino are created.
- It's global, with no specificity per-sb or even per-filesystem. This
  means it's not that difficult to cause inode number wraparounds on a
  single device, which can result in having multiple distinct inodes
  with the same inode number.

This patch adds a per-superblock counter that mitigates the second case.
This design also allows us to later have a specific i_ino size per-device,
for example, allowing users to choose whether to use 32- or 64-bit inodes
for each tmpfs mount.  This is implemented in the next commit.

For internal shmem mounts which may be less tolerant to spinlock delays,
we implement a percpu batching scheme which only takes the stat_lock at
each batch boundary.
