Pull vfs pile two from Al Viro:

 - orangefs fix

 - series of fs/namei.c cleanups from me

 - VFS stuff coming from overlayfs tree

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  orangefs: Use RCU for destroy_inode
  vfs: use helper for calling f_op-&gt;fsync()
  mm: use helper for calling f_op-&gt;mmap()
  vfs: use helpers for calling f_op-&gt;{read,write}_iter()
  vfs: pass type instead of fn to do_{loop,iter}_readv_writev()

  vfs: wrap write f_ops with file_{start,end}_write()
  vfs: deny copy_file_range() for non regular files
  vfs: deny fallocate() on directory
  vfs: create vfs helper vfs_tmpfile()
  namei.c: split unlazy_walk()
  namei.c: fold the check for DCACHE_OP_REVALIDATE into d_revalidate()
  lookup_fast(): clean up the logics around the fallback to non-rcu mode

<title>ipc/shm: Fix shmat mmap nil-page protection</title>

<id>urn:sha1:95e91b831f87ac8e1f8ed50c14d709089b4e01b8</id>
<content type='text'>
The issue is described here, with a nice testcase:

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192931

The problem is that shmat() calls do_mmap_pgoff() with MAP_FIXED, and
the address rounded down to 0.  For the regular mmap case, the
protection mentioned above is that the kernel gets to generate the
address -- arch_get_unmapped_area() will always check for MAP_FIXED and
return that address.  So by the time we do security_mmap_addr(0) things
get funky for shmat().

The testcase itself shows that while a regular user crashes, root will
not have a problem attaching a nil-page.  There are two possible fixes
to this.  The first, and which this patch does, is to simply allow root
to crash as well -- this is also regular mmap behavior, ie when hacking
up the testcase and adding mmap(...  |MAP_FIXED).  While this approach
is the safer option, the second alternative is to ignore SHM_RND if the
rounded address is 0, thus only having MAP_SHARED flags.  This makes the
behavior of shmat() identical to the mmap() case.  The downside of this
is obviously user visible, but does make sense in that it maintains
semantics after the round-down wrt 0 address and mmap.

Passes shm related ltp tests.

<title>userfaultfd: non-cooperative: add event for memory unmaps</title>

<id>urn:sha1:897ab3e0c49e24b62e2d54d165c7afec6bbca65b</id>
<content type='text'>
When a non-cooperative userfaultfd monitor copies pages in the
background, it may encounter regions that were already unmapped.
Addition of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP allows the uffd monitor to track precisely
changes in the virtual memory layout.

Since there might be different uffd contexts for the affected VMAs, we
first should create a temporary representation for the unmap event for
each uffd context and then notify them one by one to the appropriate
userfault file descriptors.

The event notification occurs after the mmap_sem has been released.

<content type='text'>
-&gt;fault(), -&gt;page_mkwrite(), and -&gt;pfn_mkwrite() calls do not need to
take a vma and vmf parameter when the vma already resides in vmf.

Remove the vma parameter to simplify things.

We are going to need to call shmem_charge() under tree_lock to get
accoutning right on collapse of small tmpfs pages into a huge one.

The problem is that tree_lock is irq-safe and lockdep is not happy, that
we take irq-unsafe lock under irq-safe[1].

Let's convert the lock to irq-safe.

<id>urn:sha1:c01d5b300774d130a24d787825b01eb24e6e20cb</id>
<content type='text'>
Provide a shmem_get_unmapped_area method in file_operations, called at
mmap time to decide the mapping address.  It could be conditional on
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, but save #ifdefs in other places by making
it unconditional.

shmem_get_unmapped_area() first calls the usual mm-&gt;get_unmapped_area
(which we treat as a black box, highly dependent on architecture and
config and executable layout).  Lots of conditions, and in most cases it
just goes with the address that chose; but when our huge stars are
rightly aligned, yet that did not provide a suitable address, go back to
ask for a larger arena, within which to align the mapping suitably.

There have to be some direct calls to shmem_get_unmapped_area(), not via
the file_operations: because of the way shmem_zero_setup() is called to
create a shmem object late in the mmap sequence, when MAP_SHARED is
requested with MAP_ANONYMOUS or /dev/zero.  Though this only matters
when /proc/sys/vm/shmem_huge has been set.
