fs: hpfs: Avoid multiple -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings

2025-09-08T14:28:38+00:00

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are getting ready to enable it, globally. So, in order to avoid ending up with a flexible-array member in the middle of other structs, we use the `struct_group_tagged()` helper to create a new tagged `struct bplus_header_fixed`. This structure groups together all the members of the flexible `struct bplus_header` except the flexible array. As a result, the array is effectively separated from the rest of the members without modifying the memory layout of the flexible structure. We then change the type of the middle struct member currently causing trouble from `struct bplus_header` to `struct bplus_header_fixed`. We also want to ensure that when new members need to be added to the flexible structure, they are always included within the newly created tagged struct. For this, we use `static_assert()`. This ensures that the memory layout for both the flexible structure and the new tagged struct is the same after any changes. This approach avoids having to implement `struct bplus_header_fixed` as a completely separate structure, thus preventing having to maintain two independent but basically identical structures, closing the door to potential bugs in the future. We also use `container_of()` (via a wrapper) whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to the flexible structure, through which we can access the flexible-array member, if necessary. So, with these changes, fix 26 of the following type of warnings: fs/hpfs/hpfs.h:456:23: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] fs/hpfs/hpfs.h:498:23: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end] Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.mmap_prepare' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

2025-07-28T20:43:25+00:00

Pull mmap_prepare updates from Christian Brauner: "Last cycle we introduce f_op->mmap_prepare() in c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback"). This is preferred to the existing f_op->mmap() hook as it does require a VMA to be established yet, thus allowing the mmap logic to invoke this hook far, far earlier, prior to inserting a VMA into the virtual address space, or performing any other heavy handed operations. This allows for much simpler unwinding on error, and for there to be a single attempt at merging a VMA rather than having to possibly reattempt a merge based on potentially altered VMA state. Far more importantly, it prevents inappropriate manipulation of incompletely initialised VMA state, which is something that has been the cause of bugs and complexity in the past. The intent is to gradually deprecate f_op->mmap, and in that vein this series coverts the majority of file systems to using f_op->mmap_prepare. Prerequisite steps are taken - firstly ensuring all checks for mmap capabilities use the file_has_valid_mmap_hooks() helper rather than directly checking for f_op->mmap (which is now not a valid check) and secondly updating daxdev_mapping_supported() to not require a VMA parameter to allow ext4 and xfs to be converted. Commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for nested file systems") handles the nasty edge-case of nested file systems like overlayfs, which introduces a compatibility shim to allow f_op->mmap_prepare() to be invoked from an f_op->mmap() callback. This allows for nested filesystems to continue to function correctly with all file systems regardless of which callback is used. Once we finally convert all file systems, this shim can be removed. As a result, ecryptfs, fuse, and overlayfs remain unaltered so they can nest all other file systems. We additionally do not update resctl - as this requires an update to remap_pfn_range() (or an alternative to it) which we defer to a later series, equally we do not update cramfs which needs a mixed mapping insertion with the same issue, nor do we update procfs, hugetlbfs, syfs or kernfs all of which require VMAs for internal state and hooks.

fs: change write_begin/write_end interface to take struct kiocb *

2025-07-16T12:48:18+00:00

Change the address_space_operations callbacks write_begin() and write_end() to take struct kiocb * as the first argument instead of struct file *. Update all affected function prototypes, implementations, call sites, and related documentation across VFS, filesystems, and block layer. Part of a series refactoring address_space_operations write_begin and write_end callbacks to use struct kiocb for passing write context and flags.

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.

hpfs: remove ->writepage

2022-12-12T02:12:18+00:00

->writepage is a very inefficient method to write back data, and only used through write_cache_pages or a a fallback when no ->migrate_folio method is present. Set ->migrate_folio to the generic buffer_head based helper, and remove the ->writepage implementation.
