[ Upstream commit d6da19c9cace63290ccfccb1fc35151ffefc0bec ]

Thread A trying to acquire a write lease checks the value of i_readcount
and i_writecount in check_conflicting_open() to verify that its own fd
is the only fd referencing the file.

Thread B trying to open the file for read will call break_lease() in
do_dentry_open() before incrementing i_readcount, which leaves a small
window where thread A can acquire the write lease and then thread B
completes the open of the file for read without breaking the write lease
that was acquired by thread A.

Fix this race by incrementing i_readcount before checking for existing
leases, same as the case with i_writecount.

Use a helper put_file_access() to decrement i_readcount or i_writecount
in do_dentry_open() and __fput().

Fixes: 387e3746d01c ("locks: eliminate false positive conflicts for write lease")

passing kmap_local_page() result to __kernel_write() is unsafe -
random -&gt;write_iter() might (and 9p one does) get unhappy when
passed ITER_KVEC with pointer that came from kmap_local_page().

Fix by providing a variant of __kernel_write() that takes an iov_iter
from caller (__kernel_write() becomes a trivial wrapper) and adding
dump_emit_page() that parallels dump_emit(), except that instead of
__kernel_write() it uses __kernel_write_iter() with ITER_BVEC source.

 "Cleanups (and one fix) around struct mount handling.

  The fix is usermode_driver.c one - once you've done kern_mount(), you
  must kern_unmount(); simple mntput() will end up with a leak. Several
  failure exits in there messed up that way... In practice you won't hit
  those particular failure exits without fault injection, though"

It's done once per (mount-related) syscall and there's no point
whatsoever making it inline.

<id>urn:sha1:6319194ec57b0452dcda4589d24c4e7db299c5bf</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we have 3 primitives for removing an opened file from descriptor
table - pick_file(), __close_fd_get_file() and close_fd_get_file().  Their
calling conventions are rather odd and there's a code duplication for no
good reason.  They can be unified -

1) have __range_close() cap max_fd in the very beginning; that way
we don't need separate way for pick_file() to report being past the end
of descriptor table.

2) make {__,}close_fd_get_file() return file (or NULL) directly, rather
than returning it via struct file ** argument.  Don't bother with
(bogus) return value - nobody wants that -ENOENT.

3) make pick_file() return NULL on unopened descriptor - the only caller
that used to care about the distinction between descriptor past the end
of descriptor table and finding NULL in descriptor table doesn't give
a damn after (1).

4) lift -&gt;files_lock out of pick_file()

That actually simplifies the callers, as well as the primitives themselves.
Code duplication is also gone...

This splits off do_getxattr function from the getxattr function. This will
allow io_uring to call it from its io worker.

<title>fs: split off setxattr_copy and do_setxattr function from setxattr</title>

<content type='text'>
This splits of the setup part of the function setxattr in its own
dedicated function called setxattr_copy. In addition it also exposes a new
function called do_setxattr for making the setxattr call.

This makes it possible to call these two functions from io_uring in the
processing of an xattr request.

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "This contains feature updates, performance improvements, preparatory
  and core work and some related VFS updates:

  Features:

   - encoded read/write ioctls, allows user space to read or write raw
     data directly to extents (now compressed, encrypted in the future),
     will be used by send/receive v2 where it saves processing time

   - zoned mode now works with metadata DUP (the mkfs.btrfs default)

   - error message header updates:
      - print error state: transaction abort, other error, log tree
        errors
      - print transient filesystem state: remount, device replace,
        ignored checksum verifications

   - tree-checker: verify the transaction id of the to-be-written dirty
     extent buffer

  Performance improvements for fsync:

   - directory logging speedups (up to -90% run time)

   - avoid logging all directory changes during renames (up to -60% run
     time)

   - avoid inode logging during rename and link when possible (up to
     -60% run time)

   - prepare extents to be logged before locking a log tree path
     (throughput +7%)

   - stop copying old file extents when doing a full fsync()

   - improved logging of old extents after truncate

  Core, fixes:

   - improved stale device identification by dev_t and not just path
     (for devices that are behind other layers like device mapper)

   - continued extent tree v2 preparatory work
      - disable features that won't work yet
      - add wrappers and abstractions for new tree roots

   - improved error handling

   - add super block write annotations around background block group
     reclaim

   - fix device scanning messages potentially accessing stale pointer

   - cleanups and refactoring

  VFS:

   - allow reflinks/deduplication from two different mounts of the same
     filesystem

   - export and add helpers for read/write range verification, for the
     encoded ioctls"

* tag 'for-5.18-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux: (98 commits)
  btrfs: zoned: put block group after final usage
  btrfs: don't access possibly stale fs_info data in device_list_add
