treewide: change inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64

2026-03-06T13:31:28+00:00

On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems. Change the type of inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to %llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable types. This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for better struct packing on 32-bit.

2026-02-16T21:00:36+00:00

Pull more misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner: "Features: - Optimize close_range() from O(range size) to O(active FDs) by using find_next_bit() on the open_fds bitmap instead of linearly scanning the entire requested range. This is a significant improvement for large-range close operations on sparse file descriptor tables. - Add FS_XFLAG_VERITY file attribute for fs-verity files, retrievable via FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and file_getattr(). The flag is read-only. Add tracepoints for fs-verity enable and verify operations, replacing the previously removed debug printk's. - Prevent nfsd from exporting special kernel filesystems like pidfs and nsfs. These filesystems have custom ->open() and ->permission() export methods that are designed for open_by_handle_at(2) only and are incompatible with nfsd. Update the exportfs documentation accordingly. Fixes: - Fix KMSAN uninit-value in ovl_fill_real() where strcmp() was used on a non-null-terminated decrypted directory entry name from fscrypt. This triggered on encrypted lower layers when the decrypted name buffer contained uninitialized tail data. The fix also adds VFS-level name_is_dot(), name_is_dotdot(), and name_is_dot_dotdot() helpers, replacing various open-coded "." and ".." checks across the tree. - Fix read-only fsflags not being reset together with xflags in vfs_fileattr_set(). Currently harmless since no read-only xflags overlap with flags, but this would cause inconsistencies for any future shared read-only flag - Return -EREMOTE instead of -ESRCH from PIDFD_GET_INFO when the target process is in a different pid namespace. This lets userspace distinguish "process exited" from "process in another namespace", matching glibc's pidfd_getpid() behavior Cleanups: - Use C-string literals in the Rust seq_file bindings, replacing the kernel::c_str!() macro (available since Rust 1.77) - Fix typo in d_walk_ret enum comment, add porting notes for the readlink_copy() calling convention change" * tag 'vfs-7.0-rc1.misc.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: add porting notes about readlink_copy() pidfs: return -EREMOTE when PIDFD_GET_INFO is called on another ns nfsd: do not allow exporting of special kernel filesystems exportfs: clarify the documentation of open()/permission() expotrfs ops fsverity: add tracepoints fs: add FS_XFLAG_VERITY for fs-verity files rust: seq_file: replace `kernel::c_str!` with C-Strings fs: dcache: fix typo in enum d_walk_ret comment ovl: use name_is_dot* helpers in readdir code fs: add helpers name_is_dot{,dot,_dotdot} ovl: Fix uninit-value in ovl_fill_real fs: reset read-only fsflags together with xflags fs/file: optimize close_range() complexity from O(N) to O(Sparse)

f2fs: add setlease file operation

2026-01-12T09:55:46+00:00

Add the setlease file_operation to f2fs_file_operations and f2fs_dir_operations, pointing to generic_setlease. A future patch will change the default behavior to reject lease attempts with -EINVAL when there is no setlease file operation defined. Add generic_setlease to retain the ability to set leases on this filesystem.

f2fs: add lookup_mode mount option

2025-08-11T17:03:27+00:00

For casefolded directories, f2fs may fall back to a linear search if a hash-based lookup fails. This can cause severe performance regressions. While this behavior can be controlled by userspace tools (e.g. mkfs, fsck) by setting an on-disk flag, a kernel-level solution is needed to guarantee the lookup behavior regardless of the on-disk state. This commit introduces the 'lookup_mode' mount option to provide this kernel-side control. The option accepts three values: - perf: (Default) Enforces a hash-only lookup. The linear fallback is always disabled. - compat: Enables the linear search fallback for compatibility with directory entries from older kernels. - auto: Determines the mode based on the on-disk flag, preserving the userspace-based behavior.

All callers now have a folio, so pass it in. Also make it const as F2FS_INODE() does not modify the struct folio passed in (the data it describes is mutable, but it does not change the contents of the struct). This may improve code generation.
