Pull vfs buffer_head updates from Christian Brauner: "This cleans up the mess that has accumulated over the years in metadata buffer_head tracking for inodes. It moves the tracking into dedicated structure in filesystem-private part of the inode (so that we don't use private_list, private_data, and private_lock in struct address_space), and also moves couple other users of private_data and private_list so these are removed from struct address_space saving 3 longs in struct inode for 99% of inodes" * tag 'vfs-7.1-rc1.bh.metadata' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (42 commits) fs: Drop i_private_list from address_space fs: Drop mapping_metadata_bhs from address space ext4: Track metadata bhs in fs-private inode part minix: Track metadata bhs in fs-private inode part udf: Track metadata bhs in fs-private inode part fat: Track metadata bhs in fs-private inode part bfs: Track metadata bhs in fs-private inode part affs: Track metadata bhs in fs-private inode part ext2: Track metadata bhs in fs-private inode part fs: Provide functions for handling mapping_metadata_bhs directly fs: Switch inode_has_buffers() to take mapping_metadata_bhs fs: Make bhs point to mapping_metadata_bhs fs: Move metadata bhs tracking to a separate struct fs: Fold fsync_buffers_list() into sync_mapping_buffers() fs: Drop osync_buffers_list() kvm: Use private inode list instead of i_private_list fs: Remove i_private_data aio: Stop using i_private_data and i_private_lock hugetlbfs: Stop using i_private_data fs: Stop using i_private_data for metadata bh tracking ...

treewide: change inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64

2026-03-06T13:31:28+00:00

On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems. Change the type of inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to %llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable types. This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for better struct packing on 32-bit.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

fs: add setlease to generic_ro_fops and read-only filesystem directory operations

2026-01-12T09:55:45+00:00

Add the setlease file_operation to generic_ro_fops, which covers file operations for several read-only filesystems (BEFS, EFS, ISOFS, QNX4, QNX6, CRAMFS, FREEVXFS). Also add setlease to the directory file_operations for these filesystems. A future patch will change the default behavior to reject lease attempts with -EINVAL when there is no setlease file operation defined. Add generic_setlease to retain the ability to set leases on these filesystems.

fs/qnx6: Fix building with GCC 15

2024-12-03T09:40:36+00:00

qnx6_checkroot() had been using weirdly spelled initializer - it needed to initialize 3-element arrays of char and it used NUL-padded 3-character string literals (i.e. 4-element initializers, with completely pointless zeroes at the end). That had been spotted by gcc-15[*]; prior to that gcc quietly dropped the 4th element of initializers. However, none of that had been needed in the first place - all this array is used for is checking that the first directory entry in root directory is "." and the second - "..". The check had been expressed as a loop, using that match_root[] array. Since there is no chance that we ever want to extend that list of entries, the entire thing is much too fancy for its own good; what we need is just a couple of explicit memcmp() and that's it.
