<title>ext2: Handle fiemap on empty files to prevent EINVAL</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit a099b09a3342a0b28ea330e405501b5b4d0424b4 ]

Previously, ext2_fiemap would unconditionally apply "len = min_t(u64, len,
i_size_read(inode));", When inode-&gt;i_size was 0 (for an empty file), this
would reduce the requested len to 0. Passing len = 0 to iomap_fiemap could
then result in an -EINVAL error, even for valid queries on empty files.

commit 322a6aff03937aa1ece33b4e46c298eafaf9ac41 upstream.

Verify bitmap block numbers and inode table blocks are sane before using
them for checking bits in the block bitmap.

<content type='text'>
commit 8abc712ea4867a81c860853048f24e511bbc20f2 upstream.

Commit "filemap: update ki_pos in generic_perform_write", made updating
of ki_pos into common code in generic_perform_write() function.
This also causes generic/091 to fail.
This happened due to an in-flight collision with:
fb5de4358e1a ("ext2: Move direct-io to use iomap"). I have chosen fixes tag
based on which commit got landed later to upstream kernel.

Fixes: 182c25e9c157 ("filemap: update ki_pos in generic_perform_write")

Remove the unnecessary encoding of page order into an enum and pass the
page order directly.  That lets us get rid of pe_order().

The switch constructs have to be changed to if/else constructs to prevent
GCC from warning on builds with 3-level page tables where PMD_ORDER and
PUD_ORDER have the same value.

If you are looking at this commit because your driver stopped compiling,
look at the previous commit as well and audit your driver to be sure it
doesn't depend on mmap_lock being held in its -&gt;huge_fault method.

Patch series "New page table range API", v6.

This patchset changes the API used by the MM to set up page table entries.
The four APIs are:

    set_ptes(mm, addr, ptep, pte, nr)
    update_mmu_cache_range(vma, addr, ptep, nr)
    flush_dcache_folio(folio) 
    flush_icache_pages(vma, page, nr)

flush_dcache_folio() isn't technically new, but no architecture
implemented it, so I've done that for them.  The old APIs remain around
but are mostly implemented by calling the new interfaces.

The new APIs are based around setting up N page table entries at once. 
The N entries belong to the same PMD, the same folio and the same VMA, so
ptep++ is a legitimate operation, and locking is taken care of for you. 
Some architectures can do a better job of it than just a loop, but I have
hesitated to make too deep a change to architectures I don't understand
well.

One thing I have changed in every architecture is that PG_arch_1 is now a
per-folio bit instead of a per-page bit when used for dcache clean/dirty
tracking.  This was something that would have to happen eventually, and it
makes sense to do it now rather than iterate over every page involved in a
cache flush and figure out if it needs to happen.

The point of all this is better performance, and Fengwei Yin has measured
improvement on x86.  I suspect you'll see improvement on your architecture
too.  Try the new will-it-scale test mentioned here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230206140639.538867-5-fengwei.yin@intel.com/
You'll need to run it on an XFS filesystem and have
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE set.

This patchset is the basis for much of the anonymous large folio work
being done by Ryan, so it's received quite a lot of testing over the last
few months.


This patch (of 38):

Determine if a value lies within a range more efficiently (subtraction +
comparison vs two comparisons and an AND).  It also has useful (under some
circumstances) behaviour if the range exceeds the maximum value of the
type.  Convert all the conflicting definitions of in_range() within the
kernel; some can use the generic definition while others need their own
definition.
