Merge tag 'vfs-7.2-rc5.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner: - vfs: Preserve the ACL_DONT_CACHE state in forget_cached_acl(). ACL_DONT_CACHE is meant to be a permanent opt-out from ACL caching which FUSE relies on for servers that don't negotiate FUSE_POSIX_ACL. The helper replaced it with ACL_NOT_CACHED, silently re-enabling the cache, and as fuse doesn't invalidate the cache for such servers a properly timed get_acl() returned stale ACLs. Comes with a fuse selftest reproducing this. - pidfs: - Preserve PIDFD_THREAD when a thread pidfd is reopened via open_by_handle_at(). PIDFD_THREAD shares the O_EXCL bit which do_dentry_open() strips after the flags have been validated, so the reopened pidfd silently became a process pidfd. Comes with a selftest. - Add a pidfs_dentry_open() helper so the regular pidfd allocation path and the file handle path share the code that forces O_RDWR and reapplies the pidfd flags that do_dentry_open() strips. - Handle FS_IOC32_GETVERSION in the compat ioctl path. - Make pidfs_ino_lock static. - iomap: - Fix the block range calculation in ifs_clear_range_dirty() so a partial clear doesn't drop the dirty state of blocks the range only partially covers. - Support invalidating partial folios so a partial truncate or hole punch with blocksize < foliosize doesn't leave stale dirty bits behind. - Only set did_zero when iomap_zero_iter() actually zeroed something. - Guard ifs_set_range_dirty() and ifs_set_range_uptodate() against zero-length ranges where the unsigned last-block calculation underflows and bitmap_set() writes far beyond the ifs->state allocation. - Don't merge ioends with different io_private values as the merge could leak or corrupt the private data of the individual ioends. - exec: - Raise bprm->have_execfd only once the binfmt_misc interpreter has actually been opened. The flag was set as soon as a matching 'O' or 'C' entry was found. If the interpreter open failed with ENOEXEC the exec fell through to the next binary format with have_execfd raised but no executable staged and begin_new_exec() NULL derefed past the point of no return. - Fix an unsigned loop counter wrap in transfer_args_to_stack() on nommu. An overlong argument or environment string pushes bprm->p below PAGE_SIZE, the stop index becomes zero, and the loop never terminates, wrapping its counter and copying garbage from in front of the page array into the new process stack. - Make binfmt_elf_fdpic only honour the first PT_INTERP like binfmt_elf does. Each additional PT_INTERP overwrote the previous interpreter, leaking the name allocation and the interpreter file reference together with the write denial open_exec() took, leaving the file unwritable for as long as the system runs. - overlayfs: - Compare the full escaped xattr prefix including the trailing dot. An xattr like "trusted.overlay.overlayfoo" was misclassified as an escaped overlay xattr. - Check read access to the copy_file_range() source with the source's mounter credentials. - super: Thawing a filesystem whose block device was frozen with bdev_freeze() deadlocked. Dropping the last block layer freeze reference from under s_umount ends up in fs_bdev_thaw() which reacquires s_umount on the same task. Pin the superblock with an active reference instead and call bdev_thaw() without holding s_umount. - procfs: Return EACCES instead of success when the ptrace access check for namespace links fails. - afs: Use afs_dir_get_block() rather than afs_dir_find_block() for block 0 in afs_edit_dir_remove(), matching afs_edit_dir_add(). - Push the memcg gating of ->nr_cached_objects() down into the btrfs and shmem callbacks instead of skipping every callback during non-root memcg reclaim. The blanket check short-circuited XFS whose inode reclaim hook is intentionally driven from per-memcg contexts to free memcg-charged slab. - eventpoll: Pin files while checking reverse paths. Since struct file became SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU a concurrent close could free and recycle the file under the check which then took and dropped the f_lock of whatever live file now occupies that slot. * tag 'vfs-7.2-rc5.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (24 commits) super: fix emergency thaw deadlock on frozen block devices pidfs: make pidfs_ino_lock static eventpoll: pin files while checking reverse paths fs: push nr_cached_objects memcg gating into individual filesystems afs: Fix afs_edit_dir_remove() to get, not find, block 0 iomap: prevent ioend merge when io_private differs iomap: add comments for ifs_clear/set_range_dirty() iomap: fix out-of-bounds bitmap_set() with zero-length range iomap: fix incorrect did_zero setting in iomap_zero_iter() iomap: support invalidating partial folios iomap: correct the range of a partial dirty clear fs/super: fix emergency thaw double-unlock of s_umount pidfs: handle FS_IOC32_GETVERSION in compat ioctl ovl: check access to copy_file_range source with src mounter creds proc: Fix broken error paths for namespace links pidfs: add pidfs_dentry_open() helper selftests/pidfd: check PIDFD_THREAD survives open_by_handle_at() pidfs: preserve thread pidfds reopened by file handle ovl: fix trusted xattr escape prefix matching selftests/fuse: add ACL_DONT_CACHE regression test ...

+ * Test: FUSE ACL caching bug triggered by AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC
+ *
+ * A FUSE mount that does not negotiate FUSE_POSIX_ACL initialises every inode
+ * with i_acl = i_default_acl = ACL_DONT_CACHE. When a fresh stat is needed
+ * (e.g. AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC), fuse_update_get_attr() calls
+ * forget_all_cached_acls() before issuing FUSE_GETATTR. On an unfixed kernel,
+ * __forget_cached_acl() replaces ACL_DONT_CACHE with ACL_NOT_CACHED,
+ * inadvertently enabling the kernel ACL cache for that inode. The next
+ * getxattr populates the cache. Because fuse_set_acl() skips
+ * forget_all_cached_acls() for !fc->posix_acl mounts, any subsequent change to
+ * the ACL leaves the stale kernel entry in place, and the next getxattr returns
+ * wrong data without ever reaching the FUSE daemon.
+ *
+ * Fix (fs/posix_acl.c): __forget_cached_acl() returns early when *p is
+ * ACL_DONT_CACHE, preserving the "never cache" invariant for the inode's
+ * lifetime.
+ *
+ * Test outline:
+ * 1. Mount a minimal FUSE fs (no FUSE_POSIX_ACL negotiated).
+ * 2. lgetxattr -> daemon called, ACL_A returned, NOT cached (ACL_DONT_CACHE).
+ * 3. statx(AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC) -> forget_all_cached_acls() called.
+ * Buggy: ACL_DONT_CACHE -> ACL_NOT_CACHED (cache enabled).
+ * Fixed: ACL_DONT_CACHE preserved.
+ * 4. lgetxattr -> daemon called, ACL_A returned.
+ * Buggy: result now cached (ACL_NOT_CACHED -> cached).
+ * Fixed: result still not cached.
+ * 5. Daemon switches to ACL_B internally (different size).
+ * 6. lgetxattr -> should return ACL_B (44 bytes).
+ * Buggy: cache hit, returns stale ACL_A (28 bytes). FAIL.
+ * Fixed: no cache, daemon called, returns ACL_B (44 bytes). PASS.
