<id>urn:sha1:64ef62fb1c4ad0f1b497b8c6d7a4491c03429acb</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 32058c38d3b79a28963a59ac0353644dc24775cd ]

The function call new_inode() is a primitive for allocating an inode in memory,
rather than planning disk space for it. Therefore, -ENOMEM should be returned
as the error code rather than -ENOSPC.

To be specific, new_inode()'s call path looks like this:
new_inode
  new_inode_pseudo
    alloc_inode
      ops-&gt;alloc_inode (hpfs_alloc_inode)
        alloc_inode_sb
          kmem_cache_alloc_lru

Therefore, the failure of new_inode() indicates a memory presure issue (-ENOMEM),
not a lack of disk space. However, the current implementation of
hpfs_mkdir/create/mknod/symlink incorrectly returns -ENOSPC when new_inode() fails.
This patch fix this by set err to -ENOMEM before the goto statement.

BTW, we also noticed that other nested calls within these four functions,
like hpfs_alloc_f/dnode and hpfs_add_dirent, might also fail due to memory presure.
But similarly, only -ENOSPC is returned. Addressing these will involve code
modifications in other functions, and we plan to submit dedicated patches for these
issues in the future. For this patch, we focus on new_inode().

hpfs is the last user of generic_block_fiemap, so add a trivial
iomap_ops based on the ext2 version and switch to iomap_fiemap.

<title>hpfs: replace one-element array with flexible-array member</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c1e4726f4654407bfd509bb8fc7324b96f2f9285</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

Also, this helps with the ongoing efforts to enable -Warray-bounds by
fixing the following warning:

  CC [M]  fs/hpfs/dir.o
fs/hpfs/dir.c: In function `hpfs_readdir':
fs/hpfs/dir.c:163:41: warning: array subscript 1 is above array bounds of `u8[1]' {aka `unsigned char[1]'} [-Warray-bounds]
  163 |         || de -&gt;name[0] != 1 || de-&gt;name[1] != 1))
      |                                 ~~~~~~~~^~~

<id>urn:sha1:549c7297717c32ee53f156cd949e055e601f67bb</id>
<content type='text'>
Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.

As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

<id>urn:sha1:2f221d6f7b881d95de1f356a3097d755ab1e47d4</id>
<content type='text'>
When file attributes are changed most filesystems rely on the
setattr_prepare(), setattr_copy(), and notify_change() helpers for
initialization and permission checking. Let them handle idmapped mounts.
If the inode is accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the
mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks are identical to
non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing
changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before.

Helpers that perform checks on the ia_uid and ia_gid fields in struct
iattr assume that ia_uid and ia_gid are intended values and have already
been mapped correctly at the userspace-kernelspace boundary as we
already do today. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing
changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before.

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "A lot of bug fixes and cleanups for ext4, including:

   - Fix performance problems found in dioread_nolock now that it is the
     default, caused by transaction leaks.

   - Clean up fiemap handling in ext4

   - Clean up and refactor multiple block allocator (mballoc) code

   - Fix a problem with mballoc with a smaller file systems running out
     of blocks because they couldn't properly use blocks that had been
     reserved by inode preallocation.

   - Fixed a race in ext4_sync_parent() versus rename()

   - Simplify the error handling in the extent manipulation code

   - Make sure all metadata I/O errors are felected to
     ext4_ext_dirty()'s and ext4_make_inode_dirty()'s callers.

   - Avoid passing an error pointer to brelse in ext4_xattr_set()

   - Fix race which could result to freeing an inode on the dirty last
     in data=journal mode.

   - Fix refcount handling if ext4_iget() fails

   - Fix a crash in generic/019 caused by a corrupted extent node"
