KVM: guest_memfd: Use guest mem inodes instead of anonymous inodes

2025-10-20T13:30:40+00:00

guest_memfd's inode represents memory the guest_memfd is providing. guest_memfd's file represents a struct kvm's view of that memory. Using a custom inode allows customization of the inode teardown process via callbacks. For example, ->evict_inode() allows customization of the truncation process on file close, and ->destroy_inode() and ->free_inode() allow customization of the inode freeing process. Customizing the truncation process allows flexibility in management of guest_memfd memory and customization of the inode freeing process allows proper cleanup of memory metadata stored on the inode. Memory metadata is more appropriately stored on the inode (as opposed to the file), since the metadata is for the memory and is not unique to a specific binding and struct kvm.

bcachefs: Move BCACHEFS_STATFS_MAGIC value to UAPI magic.h

2024-05-08T21:29:24+00:00

Move BCACHEFS_STATFS_MAGIC value to UAPI under BCACHEFS_SUPER_MAGIC definition (use common approach for name) and reuse the definition in bcachefs_format.h BCACHEFS_STATFS_MAGIC. There are other bcachefs magic definitions: BCACHE_MAGIC, BCHFS_MAGIC, which use UUID_INIT() and are used only in libbcachefs. Therefore move only BCACHEFS_STATFS_MAGIC value, which can be used outside of libbcachefs for f_type field in struct statfs in statfs() or fstatfs().

pidfd: add pidfs

2024-03-01T11:23:37+00:00

This moves pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny pseudo filesystem. This has been on my todo for quite a while as it will unblock further work that we weren't able to do simply because of the very justified limitations of anonymous inodes. Moving pidfds to a tiny pseudo filesystem allows: * statx() on pidfds becomes useful for the first time. * pidfds can be compared simply via statx() and then comparing inode numbers. * pidfds have unique inode numbers for the system lifetime. * struct pid is now stashed in inode->i_private instead of file->private_data. This means it is now possible to introduce concepts that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been closed. A concrete example is kill-on-last-close. * file->private_data is freed up for per-file options for pidfds. * Each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same struct pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple times. In contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same inode. Even if we were to move to anon_inode_create_getfile() which creates new inodes we'd still be associating the same struct pid with multiple different inodes. The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace exactly like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no complex inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always deleted when the last pidfd is closed. We allocate a new inode for each struct pid and we reuse that inode for all pidfds. We use iget_locked() to find that inode again based on the inode number which isn't recycled. We allocate a new dentry for each pidfd that uses the same inode. That is similar to anonymous inodes which reuse the same inode for thousands of dentries. For pidfds we're talking way less than that. There usually won't be a lot of concurrent openers of the same struct pid. They can probably often be counted on two hands. I know that systemd does use separate pidfd for the same struct pid for various complex process tracking issues. So I think with that things actually become way simpler. Especially because we don't have to care about lookup. Dentries and inodes continue to be always deleted. The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not selected we fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs which uses a similar stashing mechanism just for namespaces.

mm: Convert all PageMovable users to movable_operations

2022-08-02T16:34:03+00:00

These drivers are rather uncomfortably hammered into the address_space_operations hole. They aren't filesystems and don't behave like filesystems. They just need their own movable_operations structure, which we can point to directly from page->mapping. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)

Pull ceph updates from Ilya Dryomov: "The highlight is the new mount "device" string syntax implemented by Venky Shankar. It solves some long-standing issues with using different auth entities and/or mounting different CephFS filesystems from the same cluster, remounting and also misleading /proc/mounts contents. The existing syntax of course remains to be maintained.
