bfs: Reconstruct file type when loading from disk

2025-10-29T13:39:34+00:00

syzbot is reporting that S_IFMT bits of inode->i_mode can become bogus when the S_IFMT bits of the 32bits "mode" field loaded from disk are corrupted or when the 32bits "attributes" field loaded from disk are corrupted. A documentation says that BFS uses only lower 9 bits of the "mode" field. But I can't find an explicit explanation that the unused upper 23 bits (especially, the S_IFMT bits) are initialized with 0. Therefore, ignore the S_IFMT bits of the "mode" field loaded from disk. Also, verify that the value of the "attributes" field loaded from disk is either BFS_VREG or BFS_VDIR (because BFS supports only regular files and the root directory).

Pull mmap_prepare updates from Christian Brauner: "Last cycle we introduce f_op->mmap_prepare() in c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback"). This is preferred to the existing f_op->mmap() hook as it does require a VMA to be established yet, thus allowing the mmap logic to invoke this hook far, far earlier, prior to inserting a VMA into the virtual address space, or performing any other heavy handed operations. This allows for much simpler unwinding on error, and for there to be a single attempt at merging a VMA rather than having to possibly reattempt a merge based on potentially altered VMA state. Far more importantly, it prevents inappropriate manipulation of incompletely initialised VMA state, which is something that has been the cause of bugs and complexity in the past. The intent is to gradually deprecate f_op->mmap, and in that vein this series coverts the majority of file systems to using f_op->mmap_prepare. Prerequisite steps are taken - firstly ensuring all checks for mmap capabilities use the file_has_valid_mmap_hooks() helper rather than directly checking for f_op->mmap (which is now not a valid check) and secondly updating daxdev_mapping_supported() to not require a VMA parameter to allow ext4 and xfs to be converted. Commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for nested file systems") handles the nasty edge-case of nested file systems like overlayfs, which introduces a compatibility shim to allow f_op->mmap_prepare() to be invoked from an f_op->mmap() callback. This allows for nested filesystems to continue to function correctly with all file systems regardless of which callback is used. Once we finally convert all file systems, this shim can be removed. As a result, ecryptfs, fuse, and overlayfs remain unaltered so they can nest all other file systems. We additionally do not update resctl - as this requires an update to remap_pfn_range() (or an alternative to it) which we defer to a later series, equally we do not update cramfs which needs a mixed mapping insertion with the same issue, nor do we update procfs, hugetlbfs, syfs or kernfs all of which require VMAs for internal state and hooks.

fs: change write_begin/write_end interface to take struct kiocb *

2025-07-16T12:48:18+00:00

Change the address_space_operations callbacks write_begin() and write_end() to take struct kiocb * as the first argument instead of struct file *. Update all affected function prototypes, implementations, call sites, and related documentation across VFS, filesystems, and block layer. Part of a series refactoring address_space_operations write_begin and write_end callbacks to use struct kiocb for passing write context and flags.

fs: convert simple use of generic_file_*_mmap() to .mmap_prepare()

2025-06-17T11:47:45+00:00

Since commit c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback"), the f_op->mmap() hook has been deprecated in favour of f_op->mmap_prepare(). We have provided generic .mmap_prepare() equivalents, so update all file systems that specify these directly in their file_operations structures. This updates 9p, adfs, affs, bfs, fat, hfs, hfsplus, hostfs, hpfs, jffs2, jfs, minix, omfs, ramfs and ufs file systems directly. It updates generic_ro_fops which impacts qnx4, cramfs, befs, squashfs, frebxfs, qnx6, efs, romfs, erofs and isofs file systems. There are remaining file systems which use generic hooks in a less direct way which we address in a subsequent commit.

mm, slab: remove last vestiges of SLAB_MEM_SPREAD

Yes, yes, I know the slab people were planning on going slow and letting every subsystem fight this thing on their own. But let's just rip off the band-aid and get it over and done with. I don't want to see a number of unnecessary pull requests just to get rid of a flag that no longer has any meaning. This was mainly done with a couple of 'sed' scripts and then some manual cleanup of the end result.

bfs_add_entry(): get rid of pointless ->d_name.len checks

2023-12-20T17:09:32+00:00

First of all, any dentry getting here would have passed bfs_lookup(), so it it passed ENAMETOOLONG check there, there's no need to repeat it. And we are not going to get dentries with zero name length - that check ultimately comes from ext2 and it's as pointless here as it used to be there. Acked-by: Tigran Aivazian Signed-off-by: Al Viro
