Pull vfs buffer_head updates from Christian Brauner:
"This cleans up the mess that has accumulated over the years in
metadata buffer_head tracking for inodes.
It moves the tracking into dedicated structure in filesystem-private
part of the inode (so that we don't use private_list, private_data,

users of private_data and private_list so these are removed from

Pull vfs i_ino updates from Christian Brauner:
"For historical reasons, the inode->i_ino field is an unsigned long,
which means that it's 32 bits on 32 bit architectures. This has caused
a number of filesystems to implement hacks to hash a 64-bit identifier
into a 32-bit field, and deprives us of a universal identifier field
for an inode.
This changes the inode->i_ino field from an unsigned long to a u64.
This shouldn't make any material difference on 64-bit hosts, but
32-bit hosts will see struct inode grow by at least 4 bytes. This
could have effects on slabcache sizes and field alignment.
The bulk of the changes are to format strings and tracepoints, since
the kernel itself doesn't care that much about the i_ino field. The
first patch changes some vfs function arguments, so check that one out
carefully.
With this change, we may be able to shrink some inode structures. For
instance, struct nfs_inode has a fileid field that holds the 64-bit
inode number. With this set of changes, that field could be
eliminated. I'd rather leave that sort of cleanups for later just to
keep this simple"

Similar to vma_flags_test(), we have previously renamed vma_desc_test() to
vma_desc_test_any(). Now that is in place, we can reintroduce
vma_desc_test() to explicitly check for a single VMA flag.
As with vma_flags_test(), this is useful as often flag tests are against a
single flag, and vma_desc_test_any(flags, VMA_READ_BIT) reads oddly and
potentially causes confusion.
As with vma_flags_test() a combination of sparse and vma_flags_t being a
struct means that users cannot misuse this function without it getting
flagged.
Also update the VMA tests to reflect this change.

Patch series "mm: vma flag tweaks".
The ongoing work around introducing non-system word VMA flags has
introduced a number of helper functions and macros to make life easier
when working with these flags and to make conversions from the legacy use
of VM_xxx flags more straightforward.
This series improves these to reduce confusion as to what they do and to
improve consistency and readability.
Firstly the series renames vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to
make it abundantly clear that this function tests whether any of the flags
are set (as opposed to vma_flags_test_all()).
It then renames vma_desc_test_flags() to vma_desc_test_any() for the same
reason. Note that we drop the 'flags' suffix here, as
vma_desc_test_any_flags() would be cumbersome and 'test' implies a flag
test.
Similarly, we rename vma_test_all_flags() to vma_test_all() for
consistency.
Next, we have a couple of instances (erofs, zonefs) where we are now
testing for vma_desc_test_any(desc, VMA_SHARED_BIT) &&
vma_desc_test_any(desc, VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT).
This is silly, so this series introduces vma_desc_test_all() so these
callers can instead invoke vma_desc_test_all(desc, VMA_SHARED_BIT,
VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT).
We then observe that quite a few instances of vma_flags_test_any() and
vma_desc_test_any() are in fact only testing against a single flag.
Using the _any() variant here is just confusing - 'any' of single item
reads strangely and is liable to cause confusion.
So in these instances the series reintroduces vma_flags_test() and
vma_desc_test() as helpers which test against a single flag.
The fact that vma_flags_t is a struct and that vma_flag_t utilises sparse
to avoid confusion with vm_flags_t makes it impossible for a user to
misuse these helpers without it getting flagged somewhere.
The series also updates __mk_vma_flags() and functions invoked by it to
explicitly mark them always inline to match expectation and to be
consistent with other VMA flag helpers.
It also renames vma_flag_set() to vma_flags_set_flag() (a function only
used by __mk_vma_flags()) to be consistent with other VMA flag helpers.
Finally it updates the VMA tests for each of these changes, and introduces
explicit tests for vma_flags_test() and vma_desc_test() to assert that
they behave as expected.
This patch (of 6):
On reflection, it's confusing to have vma_flags_test() and
vma_desc_test_flags() test whether any comma-separated VMA flag bit is
set, while also having vma_flags_test_all() and vma_test_all_flags()
separately test whether all flags are set.
Firstly, rename vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to eliminate this
confusion.
Secondly, since the VMA descriptor flag functions are becoming rather
cumbersome, prefer vma_desc_test*() to vma_desc_test_flags*(), and also
rename vma_desc_test_flags() to vma_desc_test_any().
Finally, rename vma_test_all_flags() to vma_test_all() to keep the
VMA-specific helper consistent with the VMA descriptor naming convention
and to help avoid confusion vs. vma_flags_test_all().
While we're here, also update whitespace to be consistent in helper
functions.

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->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.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

This patch implements delayed allocation (delalloc) in ntfs3 driver.
It introduces an in-memory delayed-runlist (run_da) and the helpers to
track, reserve and later convert those delayed reservations into real
clusters at writeback time. The change keeps on-disk formats untouched and
focuses on pagecache integration, correctness and safe interaction with
fallocate, truncate, and dio/iomap paths.
Key points:
- add run_da (delay-allocated run tree) and bookkeeping for delayed clusters.
- mark ranges as delalloc (DELALLOC_LCN) instead of immediately allocating.
Actual allocation performed later (writeback / attr_set_size_ex / explicit
flush paths).
- direct i/o / iomap paths updated to avoid dio collisions with
delalloc: dio falls back or forces allocation of delayed blocks before
proceeding.
- punch/collapse/truncate/fallocate check and cancel delay-alloc reservations.
Sparse/compressed files handled specially.
- free-space checks updated (ntfs_check_free_space) to account for reserved
delalloc clusters and MFT record budgeting.
- delayed allocations are committed on last writer (file release) and on
explicit allocation flush paths.

We will be shortly removing the vm_flags_t field from vm_area_desc so we
need to update all mmap_prepare users to only use the dessc->vma_flags
field.
This patch achieves that and makes all ancillary changes required to make
this possible.
This lays the groundwork for future work to eliminate the use of
vm_flags_t in vm_area_desc altogether and more broadly throughout the
kernel.
While we're here, we take the opportunity to replace VM_REMAP_FLAGS with
VMA_REMAP_FLAGS, the vma_flags_t equivalent.
No functional changes intended.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a mix of VFS cleanups, performance improvements, API
fixes, documentation, and a deprecation notice.
Scalability and performance:
- Rework pid allocation to only take pidmap_lock once instead of
twice during alloc_pid(), improving thread creation/teardown
throughput by 10-16% depending on false-sharing luck. Pad the
namespace refcount to reduce false-sharing
- Track file lock presence via a flag in ->i_opflags instead of
reading ->i_flctx, avoiding false-sharing with ->i_readcount on
open/close hot paths. Measured 4-16% improvement on 24-core
open-in-a-loop benchmarks
- Use a consume fence in locks_inode_context() to match the
store-release/load-consume idiom, eliminating a hardware fence on
some architectures
- Annotate cdev_lock with __cacheline_aligned_in_smp to prevent
false-sharing
- Remove a redundant DCACHE_MANAGED_DENTRY check in
__follow_mount_rcu() that never fires since the caller already
verifies it, eliminating a 100% mispredicted branch
- Fix a 100% mispredicted likely() in devcgroup_inode_permission()
that became wrong after a prior code reorder
Bug fixes and correctness:
- Make insert_inode_locked() wait for inode destruction instead of
skipping, fixing a corner case where two matching inodes could
exist in the hash
- Move f_mode initialization before file_ref_init() in alloc_file()
to respect the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU ordering contract
- Add a WARN_ON_ONCE guard in try_to_free_buffers() for folios with
no buffers attached, preventing a null pointer dereference when
AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS is set but no release_folio op exists
- Fix select restart_block to store end_time as timespec64, avoiding
truncation of tv_sec on 32-bit architectures
- Make dump_inode() use get_kernel_nofault() to safely access inode
and superblock fields, matching the dump_mapping() pattern
API modernization:
- Make posix_acl_to_xattr() allocate the buffer internally since
every single caller was doing it anyway. Reduces boilerplate and
unnecessary error checking across ~15 filesystems
- Replace deprecated simple_strtoul() with kstrtoul() for the
ihash_entries, dhash_entries, mhash_entries, and mphash_entries
boot parameters, adding proper error handling
- Convert chardev code to use guard(mutex) and __free(kfree) cleanup
patterns
- Replace min_t() with min() or umin() in VFS code to avoid silently
truncating unsigned long to unsigned int
- Gate LOOKUP_RCU assertions behind CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS since callers
already check the flag
Deprecation:
- Begin deprecating legacy BSD process accounting (acct(2)). The
interface has numerous footguns and better alternatives exist
(eBPF)
Documentation:
- Fix and complete kernel-doc for struct export_operations, removing
duplicated documentation between ReST and source
- Fix kernel-doc warnings for __start_dirop() and ilookup5_nowait()

- Add a kunit test for initramfs cpio handling of entries with

ntfs_read_run_nb_ra()
When ntfs_read_run_nb_ra() is invoked with run == NULL the code later
assumes run is valid and may call run_get_entry(NULL, ...), and also
uses clen/idx without initializing them. Smatch reported uninitialized
variable warnings and this can lead to undefined behaviour. This patch

In the 'DeleteIndexEntryRoot' case of the 'do_action' function, the
entry size ('esize') is retrieved from the log record without adequate
bounds checking.
Specifically, the code calculates the end of the entry ('e2') using:
e2 = Add2Ptr(e1, esize);
It then calculates the size for memmove using 'PtrOffset(e2, ...)',
which subtracts the end pointer from the buffer limit. If 'esize' is
maliciously large, 'e2' exceeds the used buffer size. This results in
a negative offset which, when cast to size_t for memmove, interprets
as a massive unsigned integer, leading to a heap buffer overflow.
This commit adds a check to ensure that the entry size ('esize') strictly
fits within the remaining used space of the index header before performing
memory operations.

need it.
This change has been build-tested with allmodconfig on most ARCHes. Also,

When processing valid within the range [valid : pos), if valid cannot

always the same, this can trigger a potential infinite loop, similar
to the hung problem reported by syzbot [1].
Adding a check for the valid value within the loop body, and terminating
the loop and returning -EINVAL if the value is the same as the current

Syzbot reported a circular locking dependency between wnd->rw_lock
(sbi->used.bitmap) and ni->file.run_lock.
The deadlock scenario:
1. ntfs_extend_mft() takes ni->file.run_lock then wnd->rw_lock.
2. run_unpack_ex() takes wnd->rw_lock then tries to acquire
ni->file.run_lock inside ntfs_refresh_zone().
This creates an AB-BA deadlock.
Fix this by using down_read_trylock() instead of down_read() when
acquiring run_lock in run_unpack_ex(). If the lock is contended,
skip ntfs_refresh_zone() - the MFT zone will be refreshed on the
next MFT operation. This breaks the circular dependency since we
never block waiting for run_lock while holding wnd->rw_lock.

... so don't use __getname() there. Switch it (and ntfs_d_hash(), while

almost certainly can do with smaller allocations, but let ntfs folks
deal with that - keep the allocation size as-is for now.
Stop abusing names_cachep in ntfs, period - various uses of that thing
in there have nothing to do with pathnames; just use k[mz]alloc() and
be done with that. For now let's keep sizes as-in, but AFAICS none of

This patch modifies the ntfs3 driver by replacing the buffer_head-based
operations with the iomap ones.
Implementation details:
- Implements core iomap operations (ntfs_iomap_begin/end) for block mapping:
Proper handling of resident attributes via IOMAP_INLINE.
Support for sparse files through IOMAP_HOLE semantics.
Correct unwritten extent handling for zeroing operations.
- Replaces custom implementations with standardized iomap helpers:
Converts buffered reads to use iomap_read_folio and iomap_readahead.
Implements iomap_file_buffered_write for write operations.
Uses iomap_dio_rw for direct I/O paths.
Migrates zero range operations to iomap_zero_range.
- Preserves special handling paths for compressed files
- Implements proper EOF/valid data size management during writes

Syzbot reported a task hung in ni_readpage_cmpr (now ni_read_folio_cmpr).
This is caused by a lock inversion deadlock involving the inode mutex
(ni_lock) and page locks.
Scenario:
1. Task A enters ntfs_read_folio() for page X. It acquires ni_lock.
2. Task A calls ni_read_folio_cmpr(), which attempts to lock all pages in
the compressed frame (including page Y).
3. Concurrently, Task B (e.g., via readahead) has locked page Y and
calls ntfs_read_folio().
4. Task B waits for ni_lock (held by A).
5. Task A waits for page Y lock (held by B).
-> DEADLOCK.
The fix is to restructure locking: do not take ni_lock in ntfs_read_folio().
Instead, acquire ni_lock inside ni_read_folio_cmpr() ONLY AFTER all required
page locks for the frame have been successfully acquired. This restores the
correct lock ordering (Page Lock -> ni_lock) consistent with VFS.

Some xfstests expect fsync() on a file or directory to also persist
directory metadata up the parent chain. Using generic_file_fsync() is not
sufficient for ntfs, because parent directories are not explicitly
written out.

In ntfs_fill_super(), the fc->fs_private pointer is set to NULL without
first freeing the memory it points to. This causes the subsequent call to
ntfs_fs_free() to skip freeing the ntfs_mount_options structure.
This results in a kmemleak report:
unreferenced object 0xff1100015378b800 (size 32):

This issue can be reproduced using the following commands:
fallocate -l 100M test.file
mount test.file /tmp/test
Since sbi->options is duplicated from fc->fs_private and does not
directly use the memory allocated for fs_private, it is unnecessary to
set fc->fs_private to NULL.
Additionally, this patch simplifies the code by utilizing the helper
function put_mount_options() instead of open-coding the cleanup logic.

rewinddir()
This patch introduces a per-directory version counter that increments on
each directory modification (indx_insert_entry() / indx_delete_entry()).
ntfs_readdir() uses this version to detect whether the directory has
changed since enumeration began. If readdir() reaches end-of-directory
but the version has changed, the walk restarts from the beginning of the
index tree instead of returning prematurely. This provides rmdir-like
behavior for tools that remove entries as they enumerate them.
Prior to this change, bonnie++ directory operations could fail due to
premature termination of readdir() during concurrent index updates.
With this patch applied, bonnie++ completes successfully with no errors.

Previously sequential reads operations relied solely on single-page reads,
causing the block layer to perform many synchronous I/O requests,
especially for large volumes or large directories. This patch introduces
explicit readahead via page_cache_sync_readahead() and file_ra_state to
reduce I/O latency and improve sequential throughput.

The old "readpage" naming is still used in ni_readpage_cmpr(), even though
the vfs has transitioned to the folio-based read_folio() API.
This patch performs a straightforward renaming of the helper:
ni_readpage_cmpr() -> ni_read_folio_cmpr().

We found an infinite loop bug in the ntfs3 file system that can lead to a
Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition.
A malformed NTFS image can cause an infinite loop when an ATTR_LIST attribute
indicates a zero data size while the driver allocates memory for it.
When ntfs_load_attr_list() processes a resident ATTR_LIST with data_size set
to zero, it still allocates memory because of al_aligned(0). This creates an
inconsistent state where ni->attr_list.size is zero, but ni->attr_list.le is
non-null. This causes ni_enum_attr_ex to incorrectly assume that no attribute
list exists and enumerates only the primary MFT record. When it finds
ATTR_LIST, the code reloads it and restarts the enumeration, repeating
indefinitely. The mount operation never completes, hanging the kernel thread.
This patch adds validation to ensure that data_size is non-zero before memory
allocation. When a zero-sized ATTR_LIST is detected, the function returns
-EINVAL, preventing a DoS vulnerability.

We found an infinite loop bug in the ntfs3 file system that can lead to a
Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition.
A malformed NTFS image can cause an infinite loop when an attribute header
indicates an empty run list, while directory entries reference it as
containing actual data. In NTFS, setting evcn=-1 with svcn=0 is a valid way
to represent an empty run list, and run_unpack() correctly handles this by
checking if evcn + 1 equals svcn and returning early without parsing any run
data. However, this creates a problem when there is metadata inconsistency,
where the attribute header claims to be empty (evcn=-1) but the caller
expects to read actual data. When run_unpack() immediately returns success
upon seeing this condition, it leaves the runs_tree uninitialized with
run->runs as a NULL. The calling function attr_load_runs_range() assumes
that a successful return means that the runs were loaded and sets clen to 0,
expecting the next run_lookup_entry() call to succeed. Because runs_tree
remains uninitialized, run_lookup_entry() continues to fail, and the loop
increments vcn by zero (vcn += 0), leading to an infinite loop.
This patch adds a retry counter to detect when run_lookup_entry() fails
consecutively after attr_load_runs_vcn(). If the run is still not found on
the second attempt, it indicates corrupted metadata and returns -EINVAL,
preventing the Denial-of-Service (DoS) vulnerability.

KMSAN reports an uninitialized value in longest_match_std(), invoked
from ntfs_compress_write(). When new folios are allocated without being
marked uptodate and ni_read_frame() is skipped because the caller expects
the frame to be completely overwritten, some reserved folios may remain
only partially filled, leaving the rest memory uninitialized.

We found an infinite loop bug in the ntfs3 file system that can lead to a
Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition.
A malformed dentry in the ntfs3 filesystem can cause the kernel to hang
during the lookup operations. By setting the HAS_SUB_NODE flag in an
INDEX_ENTRY within a directory's INDEX_ALLOCATION block and manipulating the
VCN pointer, an attacker can cause the indx_find() function to repeatedly
read the same block, allocating 4 KB of memory each time. The kernel lacks
VCN loop detection and depth limits, causing memory exhaustion and an OOM
crash.
This patch adds a return value check for fnd_push() to prevent a memory
exhaustion vulnerability caused by infinite loops. When the index exceeds the
size of the fnd->nodes array, fnd_push() returns -EINVAL. The indx_find()
function checks this return value and stops processing, preventing further
memory allocation.

Begin the long-overdue work of splitting up the monolithic fs.h

code:
- Rename fs_types.h to fs_dirent.h to better reflect its actual
content (directory entry types)
- Add fs/super_types.h containing superblock type definitions
- Add fs/super.h containing superblock function declarations
This is the first step in a longer effort to modularize the VFS
headers.

Move inode fields used during fast path lookup closer together to
improve cache locality during path resolution.
- current_umask() Optimization (Mateusz Guzik)
Inline current_umask() and move it to fs_struct.h. This improves
performance by avoiding function call overhead for this
frequently-used function, and places it in a more appropriate
