<title>attr: port attribute changes to new types</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b27c82e1296572cfa3997e58db3118a33915f85c</id>
<content type='text'>
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-&gt;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-&gt;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-&gt;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.

<title>fat: add renameat2 RENAME_EXCHANGE flag support</title>

<content type='text'>
The renameat2 RENAME_EXCHANGE flag allows to atomically exchange two paths
but is currently not supported by the Linux vfat filesystem driver.

Add a vfat_rename_exchange() helper function that implements this support.

The super block lock is acquired during the operation to ensure atomicity,
and in the error path actions made are reversed also with the mutex held.

It makes the operation as transactional as possible, within the limitation
impossed by vfat due not having a journal with logs to replay.

<title>fat: factor out reusable code in vfat_rename() as helper functions</title>

<content type='text'>
The vfat_rename() function is quite big and there are code blocks that can
be moved into helper functions.  This not only simplify the implementation
of that function but also allows these helpers to be reused.

For example, the helpers can be used by the handler of the RENAME_EXCHANGE
flag once this is implemented in a subsequent patch.

<title>fat: add a vfat_rename2() and make existing .rename callback a helper</title>

<id>urn:sha1:019a0c9e377c9f7bd477a0742706d93cdddaee4d</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "fat: add support for the renameat2 RENAME_EXCHANGE flag", v6.

The series adds support for the renameat2 system call RENAME_EXCHANGE flag
(which allows to atomically replace two paths) to the vfat filesystem
code.

There are many use cases for this, but we are particularly interested in
making possible for vfat filesystems to be part of OSTree [0] deployments.

Currently OSTree relies on symbolic links to make the deployment updates
an atomic transactional operation.  But RENAME_EXCHANGE could be used [1]
to achieve a similar level of robustness when using a vfat filesystem.

Patch #1 is just a preparatory patch to introduce the RENAME_EXCHANGE
support, patch #2 moves some code blocks in vfat_rename() to a set of
helper functions, that can be reused by tvfat_rename_exchange() that's
added by patch #3 and finally patch #4 adds some kselftests to test it.


This patch (of 4):

Currently vfat only supports the RENAME_NOREPLACE flag which is handled by
the virtual file system layer but doesn't support the RENAME_EXCHANGE
flag.

Add a vfat_rename2() function to be used as the .rename callback and move
the current vfat_rename() handler to a helper.  This is in preparation for
implementing the RENAME_NOREPLACE flag using a different helper function.

All the timestamps in vfat_create() and vfat_mkdir() come from
fat_time_fat2unix() which ensures time granularity.  We don't need to
truncate them to fit FAT's format.

Moreover, fat_truncate_crtime() and fat_timespec64_trunc_10ms() are also
removed because there is no caller anymore.
