<title>fs: replace mmap hook with .mmap_prepare for simple mappings</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2e3b37a7e48f8a52fb708cdbeec9d8af0a5af0c1</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file
callback"), the f_op-&gt;mmap() hook has been deprecated in favour of
f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare().

This callback is invoked in the mmap() logic far earlier, so error handling
can be performed more safely without complicated and bug-prone state
unwinding required should an error arise.

This hook also avoids passing a pointer to a not-yet-correctly-established
VMA avoiding any issues with referencing this data structure.

It rather provides a pointer to the new struct vm_area_desc descriptor type
which contains all required state and allows easy setting of required
parameters without any consideration needing to be paid to locking or
reference counts.

Note that nested filesystems like overlayfs are compatible with an
.mmap_prepare() callback since commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare()
compatibility layer for nested file systems").

In this patch we apply this change to file systems with relatively simple
mmap() hook logic - exfat, ceph, f2fs, bcachefs, zonefs, btrfs, ocfs2,
orangefs, nilfs2, romfs, ramfs and aio.

<title>nilfs2: fix hang in nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:38296afe3c6ee07319e01bb249aa4bb47c07b534</id>
<content type='text'>
Syzbot reported a hang issue in migrate_pages_batch() called by mbind()
and nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() called in the log writer of nilfs2.

While migrate_pages_batch() locks a folio and waits for the writeback to
complete, the log writer thread that should bring the writeback to
completion picks up the folio being written back in
nilfs_lookup_dirty_data_buffers() that it calls for subsequent log
creation and was trying to lock the folio.  Thus causing a deadlock.

In the first place, it is unexpected that folios/pages in the middle of
writeback will be updated and become dirty.  Nilfs2 adds a checksum to
verify the validity of the log being written and uses it for recovery at
mount, so data changes during writeback are suppressed.  Since this is
broken, an unclean shutdown could potentially cause recovery to fail.

Investigation revealed that the root cause is that the wait for writeback
completion in nilfs_page_mkwrite() is conditional, and if the backing
device does not require stable writes, data may be modified without
waiting.

Fix these issues by making nilfs_page_mkwrite() wait for writeback to
finish regardless of the stable write requirement of the backing device.

block_page_mkwrite_return is neither block nor mkwrite specific, and
should not be under CONFIG_BLOCK.  Move it to mm.h and rename it to
vmf_fs_error.

<content type='text'>
Since 5.10, splice() or sendfile() to NILFS2 return EINVAL.  This was
caused by commit 36e2c7421f02 ("fs: don't allow splice read/write
without explicit ops").

This patch initializes the splice_write field in file_operations, like
most file systems do, to restore the functionality.
