commit 27917e8194f91dffd8b4825350c63cb68e98ce58 upstream.

Flush the D-cache before unlocking folios for compressed inodes, as
they are dirtied during decompression.

Avoid calling flush_dcache_folio() on every CPU write, since it's more
like playing whack-a-mole without real benefit.

It has no impact on x86 and arm64/risc-v: on x86, flush_dcache_folio()
is a no-op, and on arm64/risc-v, PG_dcache_clean (PG_arch_1) is clear
for new page cache folios.  However, certain ARM boards are affected,
as reported.

commit c5539762f32e97c5e16215fa1336e32095b8b0fd upstream.

Use memcpy_to_page() instead of open-coding them.

In addition, add a missing flush_dcache_page() even though almost all
modern architectures clear `PG_dcache_clean` flag for new file cache
pages so that it doesn't change anything in practice.

<content type='text'>
commit 3acea5fc335420ba7ef53947cf2d98d07fac39f7 upstream.

As the first step of converting hardcoded blocksize to that specified in
on-disk superblock, convert all call sites of hardcoded blocksize to
sb-&gt;s_blocksize except for:

1) use sbi-&gt;blkszbits instead of sb-&gt;s_blocksize in
erofs_superblock_csum_verify() since sb-&gt;s_blocksize has not been
updated with the on-disk blocksize yet when the function is called.

2) use inode-&gt;i_blkbits instead of sb-&gt;s_blocksize in erofs_bread(),
since the inode operated on may be an anonymous inode in fscache mode.
Currently the anonymous inode is allocated from an anonymous mount
maintained in erofs, while in the near future we may allocate anonymous
inodes from a generic API directly and thus have no access to the
anonymous inode's i_sb.  Thus we keep the block size in i_blkbits for
anonymous inodes in fscache mode.

Be noted that this patch only gets rid of the hardcoded blocksize, in
preparation for actually setting the on-disk block size in the following
patch.  The hard limit of constraining the block size to PAGE_SIZE still
exists until the next patch.

<content type='text'>
commit 118a8cf504d7dfa519562d000f423ee3ca75d2c4 upstream.

EROFS can select compression algorithms on a per-file basis, and each
per-file compression algorithm needs to be marked in the on-disk
superblock for initialization.

However, syzkaller can generate inconsistent crafted images that use
an unsupported algorithmtype for specific inodes, e.g. use MicroLZMA
algorithmtype even it's not set in `sbi-&gt;available_compr_algs`.  This
can lead to an unexpected "BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference" if
the corresponding decompressor isn't built-in.

Fix this by checking against `sbi-&gt;available_compr_algs` for each
m_algorithmformat request.  Incorrect !erofs_sb_has_compr_cfgs preset
bitmap is now fixed together since it was harmless previously.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 3c12466b6b7bf1e56f9b32c366a3d83d87afb4de ]

Currently EROFS can map another compressed buffer for inplace
decompression, that was used to handle the cases that some pages of
compressed data are actually not in-place I/O.

However, like most simple LZ77 algorithms, LZ4 expects the compressed
data is arranged at the end of the decompressed buffer and it
explicitly uses memmove() to handle overlapping:
  __________________________________________________________
 |_ direction of decompression --&gt; ____ |_ compressed data _|

Although EROFS arranges compressed data like this, it typically maps two
individual virtual buffers so the relative order is uncertain.
Previously, it was hardly observed since LZ4 only uses memmove() for
short overlapped literals and x86/arm64 memmove implementations seem to
completely cover it up and they don't have this issue.  Juhyung reported
that EROFS data corruption can be found on a new Intel x86 processor.
After some analysis, it seems that recent x86 processors with the new
FSRM feature expose this issue with "rep movsb".

Let's strictly use the decompressed buffer for lz4 inplace
decompression for now.  Later, as an useful improvement, we could try
to tie up these two buffers together in the correct order.

<title>erofs: support interlaced uncompressed data for compressed files</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fdffc091e6f94602558bba712b51bc16f79fd6d5</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, uncompressed data is all handled in the shifted way, which
means we have to shift the whole on-disk plain pcluster to get the
logical data.   However, since we are also using in-place I/O for
uncompressed data, data copy will be reduced a lot if pcluster is
recorded in the interlaced way as illustrated below:
 _______________________________________________________________
|               |    |               |_ tail part |_ head part _|
|&lt;-   blk0    -&gt;| .. |&lt;-   blkn-2  -&gt;|&lt;-         blkn-1       -&gt;|

The logical data then becomes:
 ________________________________________________________
|_ head part _|_  blk0  _| .. |_  blkn-2  _|_ tail part _|

In addition, non-4k plain pclusters are also survived by the
interlaced way, which can be used for non-4k lclusters as well.

However, it's almost impossible to de-duplicate uncompressed data
in the interlaced way, therefore shifted uncompressed data is still
useful.

<content type='text'>
Let's introduce multi-reference pclusters at runtime. In details,
if one pcluster is requested by multiple extents at almost the same
time (even belong to different files), the longest extent will be
decompressed as representative and the other extents are actually
copied from the longest one in one round.

After this patch, fully-referenced extents can be correctly handled
and the full decoding check needs to be bypassed for
partial-referenced extents.
