On 32-bit platforms, pgoff_t is 32 bits wide, so left-shifting
large arbitrary pgoff_t values by PAGE_SHIFT performs 32-bit arithmetic
and silently truncates the result for pages beyond the 4 GiB boundary.

Cast the page index to loff_t before shifting to produce a correct
64-bit byte offset.

erofs and zonefs are using vma_desc_test_any() twice to check whether all
of VMA_SHARED_BIT and VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT are set, this is silly, so add
vma_desc_test_all() to test all flags and update erofs and zonefs to use
it.

While we're here, update the helper function comments to be more
consistent.

Also add the same to the VMA test headers.

<title>mm: rename VMA flag helpers to be more readable</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e650bb30ca532901da6def04c7d1de72ae59ea4e</id>
<content type='text'>
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) &amp;&amp;
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.

<content type='text'>
For file-backed mounts, metadata is fetched via the page cache of
backing inodes to avoid double caching and redundant copy ops out
of RO uptodate folios, which is used by Android APEXes, ComposeFS,
containerd.  However, rw_verify_area() was missing prior to
metadata accesses.

Similar to vfs_iocb_iter_read(), fix this by:
 - Enabling fanotify pre-content hooks on metadata accesses;
 - security_file_permission() for security modules.

Verified that fanotify pre-content hooks now works correctly.

<content type='text'>
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-&gt;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 erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
 "In this cycle, inode page cache sharing among filesystems on the same
  machine is now supported, which is particularly useful for
  high-density hosts running tens of thousands of containers.

  In addition, we fully isolate the EROFS core on-disk format from other
  optional encoded layouts since the core on-disk part is designed to be
  simple, effective, and secure. Users can use the core format to build
  unique golden immutable images and import their filesystem trees
  directly from raw block devices via DMA, page-mapped DAX devices,
  and/or file-backed mounts without having to worry about unnecessary
  intrinsic consistency issues found in other generic filesystems by
  design. However, the full vision is still working in progress and will
  spend more time to achieve final goals.

  There are other improvements and bug fixes as usual, as listed below:

   - Support inode page cache sharing among filesystems

   - Formally separate optional encoded (aka compressed) inode layouts
     (and the implementations) from the EROFS core on-disk aligned plain
     format for future zero-trust security usage

   - Improve performance by caching the fact that an inode does not have
     a POSIX ACL

   - Improve LZ4 decompression error reporting

   - Enable LZMA by default and promote DEFLATE and Zstandard algorithms
     out of EXPERIMENTAL status

   - Switch to inode_set_cached_link() to cache symlink lengths

   - random bugfixes and minor cleanups"

Pull vfs iomap updates from Christian Brauner:

 - Erofs page cache sharing preliminaries:

   Plumb a void *private parameter through iomap_read_folio() and
   iomap_readahead() into iomap_iter-&gt;private, matching iomap DIO. Erofs
   uses this to replace a bogus kmap_to_page() call, as preparatory work
   for page cache sharing.

 - Fix for invalid folio access:

   Fix an invalid folio access when a folio without iomap_folio_state
   is fully submitted to the IO helper — the helper may call
   folio_end_read() at any time, so ctx-&gt;cur_folio must be invalidated
   after full submission.
