fs: convert simple use of generic_file_*_mmap() to .mmap_prepare()

2025-06-17T11:47:45+00:00

Since commit c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback"), the f_op->mmap() hook has been deprecated in favour of f_op->mmap_prepare(). We have provided generic .mmap_prepare() equivalents, so update all file systems that specify these directly in their file_operations structures. This updates 9p, adfs, affs, bfs, fat, hfs, hfsplus, hostfs, hpfs, jffs2, jfs, minix, omfs, ramfs and ufs file systems directly. It updates generic_ro_fops which impacts qnx4, cramfs, befs, squashfs, frebxfs, qnx6, efs, romfs, erofs and isofs file systems. There are remaining file systems which use generic hooks in a less direct way which we address in a subsequent commit.

fs: pass the request_mask to generic_fillattr

2023-08-09T06:56:36+00:00

generic_fillattr just fills in the entire stat struct indiscriminately today, copying data from the inode. There is at least one attribute (STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE) that can have side effects when it is reported, and we're looking at adding more with the addition of multigrain timestamps. Add a request_mask argument to generic_fillattr and have most callers just pass in the value that is passed to getattr. Have other callers (e.g. ksmbd) just pass in STATX_BASIC_STATS. Also move the setting of STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE into generic_fillattr.

fs: port vfs{g,u}id helpers to mnt_idmap

2023-01-19T08:24:30+00:00

Convert to struct mnt_idmap. Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap. Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for bugs. Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

fat: port to vfs{g,u}id_t and associated helpers

2022-09-20T09:09:31+00:00

A while ago we introduced a dedicated vfs{g,u}id_t type in commit 1e5267cd0895 ("mnt_idmapping: add vfs{g,u}id_t"). We already switched over a good part of the VFS. Ultimately we will remove all legacy idmapped mount helpers that operate only on k{g,u}id_t in favor of the new type safe helpers that operate on vfs{g,u}id_t.

attr: port attribute changes to new types

2022-06-26T16:18:56+00:00

Now that we introduced new infrastructure to increase the type safety for filesystems supporting idmapped mounts port the first part of the vfs over to them. This ports the attribute changes codepaths to rely on the new better helpers using a dedicated type. Before this change we used to take a shortcut and place the actual values that would be written to inode->i_{g,u}id into struct iattr. This had the advantage that we moved idmappings mostly out of the picture early on but it made reasoning about changes more difficult than it should be. The filesystem was never explicitly told that it dealt with an idmapped mount. The transition to the value that needed to be stored in inode->i_{g,u}id appeared way too early and increased the probability of bugs in various codepaths. We know place the same value in struct iattr no matter if this is an idmapped mount or not. The vfs will only deal with type safe vfs{g,u}id_t. This makes it massively safer to perform permission checks as the type will tell us what checks we need to perform and what helpers we need to use. Fileystems raising FS_ALLOW_IDMAP can't simply write ia_vfs{g,u}id to inode->i_{g,u}id since they are different types. Instead they need to use the dedicated vfs{g,u}id_to_k{g,u}id() helpers that map the vfs{g,u}id into the filesystem. The other nice effect is that filesystems like overlayfs don't need to care about idmappings explicitly anymore and can simply set up struct iattr accordingly directly.
