sysv: fix handling of delete_entry and set_link failures

similar to minixfs series - make sysv_set_link() report failures, lift dir_put_page() into the callers of sysv_set_link() and sysv_delete_entry(), make sysv_rename() handle failures in both. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

fs/sysv: Replace kmap() with kmap_local_page()

2023-01-20T04:24:35+00:00

kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page(). There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as the mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the kmap’s pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully utilized until a slot becomes available. With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts). It is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled. Furthermore, the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the kernel virtual addresses are restored and still valid. Since kmap_local_page() would not break the strict rules of local mappings (i.e., the thread locality and the stack based nesting), this function can be easily and safely replace the deprecated API. Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() in fs/sysv. kunmap_local() requires the mapping address, so return that address from dir_get_page() to be used in dir_put_page().

fs: port ->getattr() to pass mnt_idmap

2023-01-19T08:24:25+00:00

Convert to struct mnt_idmap. Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap. Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for bugs. Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems only operate on struct mnt_idmap.
