commit da6ef2dffe6056aad3435e6cf7c6471c2a62187c upstream.

A dentry leak may be caused when a lookup cookie and a cull are concurrent:

            P1             |             P2
-----------------------------------------------------------
cachefiles_lookup_cookie
  cachefiles_look_up_object
    lookup_one_positive_unlocked
     // get dentry
                            cachefiles_cull
                              inode-&gt;i_flags |= S_KERNEL_FILE;
    cachefiles_open_file
      cachefiles_mark_inode_in_use
        __cachefiles_mark_inode_in_use
          can_use = false
          if (!(inode-&gt;i_flags &amp; S_KERNEL_FILE))
            can_use = true
	  return false
        return false
        // Returns an error but doesn't put dentry

After that the following WARNING will be triggered when the backend folder
is umounted:

Whether cachefiles_open_file() returns true or false, the reference count
obtained by lookup_positive_unlocked() in cachefiles_look_up_object()
should be released.

Therefore release that reference count in cachefiles_look_up_object() to
fix the above issue and simplify the code.

<title>mm, netfs, fscache: stop read optimisation when folio removed from pagecache</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d0eafc763135508be118dac208887a26c0adb74d</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit b4fa966f03b7401ceacd4ffd7227197afb2b8376 ]

Fscache has an optimisation by which reads from the cache are skipped
until we know that (a) there's data there to be read and (b) that data
isn't entirely covered by pages resident in the netfs pagecache.  This is
done with two flags manipulated by fscache_note_page_release():

	if (...
	    test_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_HAVE_DATA, &amp;cookie-&gt;flags) &amp;&amp;
	    test_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ, &amp;cookie-&gt;flags))
		clear_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ, &amp;cookie-&gt;flags);

where the NO_DATA_TO_READ flag causes cachefiles_prepare_read() to
indicate that netfslib should download from the server or clear the page
instead.

The fscache_note_page_release() function is intended to be called from
-&gt;releasepage() - but that only gets called if PG_private or PG_private_2
is set - and currently the former is at the discretion of the network
filesystem and the latter is only set whilst a page is being written to
the cache, so sometimes we miss clearing the optimisation.

Fix this by following Willy's suggestion[1] and adding an address_space
flag, AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS, that causes filemap_release_folio() to always call
-&gt;release_folio() if it's set, even if PG_private or PG_private_2 aren't
set.

Note that this would require folio_test_private() and page_has_private() to
become more complicated.  To avoid that, in the places[*] where these are
used to conditionalise calls to filemap_release_folio() and
try_to_release_page(), the tests are removed the those functions just
jumped to unconditionally and the test is performed there.

[*] There are some exceptions in vmscan.c where the check guards more than
just a call to the releaser.  I've added a function, folio_needs_release()
to wrap all the checks for that.

AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS should be set if a non-NULL cookie is obtained from
fscache and cleared in -&gt;evict_inode() before truncate_inode_pages_final()
is called.

Additionally, the FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ flag needs to be cleared
and the optimisation cancelled if a cachefiles object already contains data
when we open it.

<content type='text'>
Use the vfs_tmpfile_open() helper instead of doing tmpfile creation and
opening separately.

The only minor difference is that previously no permission checking was
done, while vfs_tmpfile_open() will call may_open() with zero access mask
(i.e. no access is checked).  Even if this would make a difference with
callers caps (don't see how it could, even in the LSM codepaths) cachfiles
raises caps before performing the tmpfile creation, so this extra
permission check will not result in any regression.

The only reason to pass dentry was because of a pr_notice() text.  Move
that to the two callers where it makes sense and add a WARN_ON() to the
third.

file_inode(file) is never NULL on an opened file. Remove check in
cachefiles_unmark_inode_in_use().

Do not open code cachefiles_do_unmark_inode_in_use() in
cachefiles_put_directory().

<title>cachefiles: notify the user daemon when looking up cookie</title>

<content type='text'>
Fscache/CacheFiles used to serve as a local cache for a remote
networking fs. A new on-demand read mode will be introduced for
CacheFiles, which can boost the scenario where on-demand read semantics
are needed, e.g. container image distribution.

The essential difference between these two modes is seen when a cache
miss occurs: In the original mode, the netfs will fetch the data from
the remote server and then write it to the cache file; in on-demand
read mode, fetching the data and writing it into the cache is delegated
to a user daemon.

As the first step, notify the user daemon when looking up cookie. In
this case, an anonymous fd is sent to the user daemon, through which the
user daemon can write the fetched data to the cache file. Since the user
daemon may move the anonymous fd around, e.g. through dup(), an object
ID uniquely identifying the cache file is also attached.

Also add one advisory flag (FSCACHE_ADV_WANT_CACHE_SIZE) suggesting that
the cache file size shall be retrieved at runtime. This helps the
scenario where one cache file contains multiple netfs files, e.g. for
the purpose of deduplication. In this case, netfs itself has no idea the
size of the cache file, whilst the user daemon should give the hint on
it.

Unmark inode in use if error encountered. If the in-use flag leakage
occurs in cachefiles_open_file(), Cachefiles will complain "Inode
already in use" when later another cookie with the same index key is
looked up.

If the in-use flag leakage occurs in cachefiles_create_tmpfile(), though
the "Inode already in use" warning won't be triggered, fix the leakage
anyway.

 (2) Make the cachefiles_lookup tracepoint log the directory inode number
     as well as the looked-up inode number.

 (3) Add a cachefiles_lookup tracepoint into cachefiles_get_directory() to
     log directory lookup.

 (4) Add a new cachefiles_mkdir tracepoint and use that to log a successful
     mkdir from cachefiles_get_directory().

 (5) Make the cachefiles_unlink and cachefiles_rename tracepoints log the
     inode number of the affected file/dir rather than dentry struct
     pointers.
