direct_write_fallback(): on error revert the ->ki_pos update from buffered write

2025-12-06T21:12:14+00:00

commit 8287474aa5ffb41df52552c4ae4748e791d2faf2 upstream. If we fail filemap_write_and_wait_range() on the range the buffered write went into, we only report the "number of bytes which we direct-written", to quote the comment in there. Which is fine, but buffered write has already advanced iocb->ki_pos, so we need to roll that back. Otherwise we end up with e.g. write(2) advancing position by more than the amount it reports having written.

better lockdep annotations for simple_recursive_removal()

2025-08-28T14:25:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2a8061ee5e41034eb14170ec4517b5583dbeff9f ] We want a class that nests outside of I_MUTEX_NORMAL (for the sake of callbacks that might want to lock the victim) and inside I_MUTEX_PARENT (so that a variant of that could be used with parent of the victim held locked by the caller). In reality, simple_recursive_removal() * never holds two locks at once * holds the lock on parent of dentry passed to callback * is used only on the trees with fixed topology, so the depths are not changing. So the locking order is actually fine. AFAICS, the best solution is to assign I_MUTEX_CHILD to the locks grabbed by that thing.

libfs: add DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for signed value

2022-12-31T12:31:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2e41f274f9aa71cdcc69dc1f26a3f9304a651804 ] Patch series "fix error when writing negative value to simple attribute files". The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit 488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in simple_attr_write()"), but some attribute files want to accept a negative value. This patch (of 3): The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit 488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in simple_attr_write()"), so we have to use a 64-bit value to write a negative value. This adds DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for a signed value.
