Pull vfs fanotify fsid updates from Christian Brauner:
"This work is part of the plan to enable fanotify to serve as a drop-in
replacement for inotify. While inotify is availabe on all filesystems,
fanotify currently isn't.
In order to support fanotify on all filesystems two things are needed:
(1) all filesystems need to support AT_HANDLE_FID
(2) all filesystems need to report a non-zero f_fsid
This contains (1) and allows filesystems to encode non-decodable file
handlers for fanotify without implementing any exportfs operations by
encoding a file id of type FILEID_INO64_GEN from i_ino and
i_generation.
Filesystems that want to opt out of encoding non-decodable file ids
for fanotify that don't support NFS export can do so by providing an
empty export_operations struct.
This also partially addresses (2) by generating f_fsid for simple
filesystems as well as freevxfs. Remaining filesystems will be dealt
with by separate patches.
Finally, this contains the patch from the current exportfs maintainers
which moves exportfs under vfs with Chuck, Jeff, and Amir as
maintainers and vfs.git as tree"

Pull overlayfs updates from Amir Goldstein:
- Overlayfs aio cleanups and fixes
Cleanups and minor fixes in preparation for factoring out of
read/write passthrough code.
- Overlayfs lock ordering changes
Hold mnt_writers only throughout copy up instead of a long lived
elevated refcount.
- Add support for nesting overlayfs private xattrs
There are cases where you want to use an overlayfs mount as a
lowerdir for another overlayfs mount. For example, if the system
rootfs is on overlayfs due to composefs, or to make it volatile (via
tmpfs), then you cannot currently store a lowerdir on the rootfs,
because the inner overlayfs will eat all the whiteouts and overlay
xattrs. This means you can't e.g. store on the rootfs a prepared
container image for use with overlayfs.
This adds support for nesting of overlayfs mounts by escaping the
problematic features and unescaping them when exposing to the
overlayfs user.
- Add new mount options for appending lowerdirs

Add new mount options lowerdir+ and datadir+ that can be used to add
layers to lower layers stack one by one.
Unlike the legacy lowerdir mount option, special characters (i.e. colons
and cammas) are not unescaped with these new mount options.
The new mount options can be repeated to compose a large stack of lower
layers, but they may not be mixed with the lagacy lowerdir mount option,
because for displaying lower layers in mountinfo, we do not want to mix
escaped with unescaped lower layers path syntax.
Similar to data-only layer rules with the lowerdir mount option, the
datadir+ option must follow at least one lowerdir+ option and the
lowerdir+ option must not follow the datadir+ option.
If the legacy lowerdir mount option follows lowerdir+ and datadir+
mount options, it overrides them. Sepcifically, calling:
fsconfig(FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "lowerdir", "", 0);
can be used to reset previously setup lower layers.

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
"This release completes the SunRPC thread scheduler work that was begun
in v6.6. The scheduler can now find an svc thread to wake in constant
time and without a list walk. Thanks again to Neil Brown for this
overhaul.
Lorenzo Bianconi contributed infrastructure for a netlink-based NFSD
control plane. The long-term plan is to provide the same functionality
as found in /proc/fs/nfsd, plus some interesting additions, and then
migrate the NFSD user space utilities to netlink.
A long series to overhaul NFSD's NFSv4 operation encoding was applied
in this release. The goals are to bring this family of encoding
functions in line with the matching NFSv4 decoding functions and with
the NFSv2 and NFSv3 XDR functions, preparing the way for better memory
safety and maintainability.
A further improvement to NFSD's write delegation support was
contributed by Dai Ngo. This adds a CB_GETATTR callback, enabling the
server to retrieve cached size and mtime data from clients holding
write delegations. If the server can retrieve this information, it
does not have to recall the delegation in some cases.
The usual panoply of bug fixes and minor improvements round out this
release. As always I am grateful to all contributors, reviewers, and
testers"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
for vfs and individual fses.
Features:
- Rename and export helpers that get write access to a mount. They
are used in overlayfs to get write access to the upper mount.
- Print the pretty name of the root device on boot failure. This
helps in scenarios where we would usually only print
"unknown-block(1,2)".
- Add an internal SB_I_NOUMASK flag. This is another part in the
endless POSIX ACL saga in a way.
When POSIX ACLs are enabled via SB_POSIXACL the vfs cannot strip
the umask because if the relevant inode has POSIX ACLs set it might
take the umask from there. But if the inode doesn't have any POSIX
ACLs set then we apply the umask in the filesytem itself. So we end
up with:
(1) no SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in vfs
(2) SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in filesystem
The umask semantics associated with SB_POSIXACL allowed filesystems
that don't even support POSIX ACLs at all to raise SB_POSIXACL
purely to avoid umask stripping. That specifically means NFS v4 and
Overlayfs. NFS v4 does it because it delegates this to the server
and Overlayfs because it needs to delegate umask stripping to the
upper filesystem, i.e., the filesystem used as the writable layer.
This went so far that SB_POSIXACL is raised eve on kernels that
don't even have POSIX ACL support at all.
Stop this blatant abuse and add SB_I_NOUMASK which is an internal
superblock flag that filesystems can raise to opt out of umask
handling. That should really only be the two mentioned above. It's
not that we want any filesystems to do this. Ideally we have all
umask handling always in the vfs.
- Make overlayfs use SB_I_NOUMASK too.
- Now that we have SB_I_NOUMASK, stop checking for SB_POSIXACL in
IS_POSIXACL() if the kernel doesn't have support for it. This is a
very old patch but it's only possible to do this now with the wider
cleanup that was done.
- Follow-up work on fake path handling from last cycle. Citing mostly
from Amir:
When overlayfs was first merged, overlayfs files of regular files
and directories, the ones that are installed in file table, had a
"fake" path, namely, f_path is the overlayfs path and f_inode is
the "real" inode on the underlying filesystem.
In v6.5, we took another small step by introducing of the
backing_file container and the file_real_path() helper. This change
allowed vfs and filesystem code to get the "real" path of an
overlayfs backing file. With this change, we were able to make
fsnotify work correctly and report events on the "real" filesystem
objects that were accessed via overlayfs.
This method works fine, but it still leaves the vfs vulnerable to
new code that is not aware of files with fake path. A recent
example is commit db1d1e8b9867 ("IMA: use vfs_getattr_nosec to get
the i_version"). This commit uses direct referencing to f_path in
IMA code that otherwise uses file_inode() and file_dentry() to
reference the filesystem objects that it is measuring.
This contains work to switch things around: instead of having
filesystem code opt-in to get the "real" path, have generic code
opt-in for the "fake" path in the few places that it is needed.
Is it far more likely that new filesystems code that does not use
the file_dentry() and file_real_path() helpers will end up causing
crashes or averting LSM/audit rules if we keep the "fake" path
exposed by default.
This change already makes file_dentry() moot, but for now we did
not change this helper just added a WARN_ON() in ovl_d_real() to
catch if we have made any wrong assumptions.
After the dust settles on this change, we can make file_dentry() a
plain accessor and we can drop the inode argument to ->d_real().
- Switch struct file to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This looks like a small
change but it really isn't and I would like to see everyone on
their tippie toes for any possible bugs from this work.
Essentially we've been doing most of what SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for
files since a very long time because of the nasty interactions
between the SCM_RIGHTS file descriptor garbage collection. So
extending it makes a lot of sense but it is a subtle change. There
are almost no places that fiddle with file rcu semantics directly
and the ones that did mess around with struct file internal under
rcu have been made to stop doing that because it really was always
dodgy.
I forgot to put in the link tag for this change and the discussion
in the commit so adding it into the merge message:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230926162228.68666-1-mjguzik@gmail.com
Cleanups:
- Various smaller pipe cleanups including the removal of a spin lock
that was only used to protect against writes without pipe_lock()
from O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE aka watch queues. As that was never
implemented remove the additional locking from pipe_write().
- Annotate struct watch_filter with the new __counted_by attribute.
- Clarify do_unlinkat() cleanup so that it doesn't look like an extra
iput() is done that would cause issues.
- Simplify file cleanup when the file has never been opened.
- Use module helper instead of open-coding it.
- Predict error unlikely for stale retry.
- Use WRITE_ONCE() for mount expiry field instead of just commenting
that one hopes the compiler doesn't get smart.
Fixes:
- Fix readahead on block devices.
- Fix writeback when layztime is enabled and inodes whose timestamp
is the only thing that changed reside on wb->b_dirty_time. This
caused excessively large zombie memory cgroup when lazytime was
enabled as such inodes weren't handled fast enough.
- Convert BUG_ON() to WARN_ON_ONCE() in open_last_lookups()"

Rename the default helper for encoding FILEID_INO32_GEN* file handles to
generic_encode_ino32_fh() and convert the filesystems that used the
default implementation to use the generic helper explicitly.
After this change, exportfs_encode_inode_fh() no longer has a default
implementation to encode FILEID_INO32_GEN* file handles.
This is a step towards allowing filesystems to encode non-decodeable
file handles for fanotify without having to implement any
export_operations.

In recent discussions around some performance improvements in the file
handling area we discussed switching the file cache to rely on
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU which allows us to get rid of call_rcu() based
freeing for files completely. This is a pretty sensitive change overall
but it might actually be worth doing.
The main downside is the subtlety. The other one is that we should
really wait for Jann's patch to land that enables KASAN to handle
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU UAFs. Currently it doesn't but a patch for this
exists.
With SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU objects may be freed and reused multiple times
which requires a few changes. So it isn't sufficient anymore to just
acquire a reference to the file in question under rcu using
atomic_long_inc_not_zero() since the file might have already been
recycled and someone else might have bumped the reference.
In other words, callers might see reference count bumps from newer
users. For this reason it is necessary to verify that the pointer is the
same before and after the reference count increment. This pattern can be
seen in get_file_rcu() and __files_get_rcu().
In addition, it isn't possible to access or check fields in struct file
without first aqcuiring a reference on it. Not doing that was always
very dodgy and it was only usable for non-pointer data in struct file.
With SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU it is necessary that callers first acquire a
reference under rcu or they must hold the files_lock of the fdtable.
Failing to do either one of this is a bug.
Thanks to Jann for pointing out that we need to ensure memory ordering
between reallocations and pointer check by ensuring that all subsequent
loads have a dependency on the second load in get_file_rcu() and
providing a fixup that was folded into this patch.

Master keys can be in one of three states: present, incompletely
removed, and absent (as per FSCRYPT_KEY_STATUS_* used in the UAPI).
Currently, the way that "present" is distinguished from "incompletely
removed" internally is by whether ->mk_secret exists or not.
With extent-based encryption, it will be necessary to allow per-extent
keys to be derived while the master key is incompletely removed, so that
I/O on open files will reliably continue working after removal of the
key has been initiated. (We could allow I/O to sometimes fail in that
case, but that seems problematic for reasons such as writes getting
silently thrown away and diverging from the existing fscrypt semantics.)
Therefore, when the filesystem is using extent-based encryption,
->mk_secret can't be wiped when the key becomes incompletely removed.
As a prerequisite for doing that, this patch makes the "present" state
be tracked using a new field, ->mk_present. No behavior is changed yet.
The basic idea here is borrowed from Josef Bacik's patch
"fscrypt: use a flag to indicate that the master key is being evicted"
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/e86c16dddc049ff065f877d793ad773e4c6bfad9.1696970227.git.josef@toxicpanda.com).
I reimplemented it using a "present" bool instead of an "evicted" flag,
fixed a couple bugs, and tried to update everything to be consistent.
Note: I considered adding a ->mk_status field instead, holding one of
FSCRYPT_KEY_STATUS_*. At first that seemed nice, but it ended up being
more complex (despite simplifying FS_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_KEY_STATUS),
since it would have introduced redundancy and had weird locking rules.

This patch reverts mostly commit 40595cdc93ed ("nfs: block notification
on fs with its own ->lock") and introduces an EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK
export flag to signal that the "own ->lock" implementation supports
async lock requests. The only main user is DLM that is used by GFS2 and
OCFS2 filesystem. Those implement their own lock() implementation and
return FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED as return value. Since commit 40595cdc93ed
("nfs: block notification on fs with its own ->lock") the DLM
implementation were never updated. This patch should prepare for DLM
to set the EXPORT_OP_ASYNC_LOCK export flag and update the DLM
plock implementation regarding to it.

Before commit b36a5780cb44 ("ovl: modify layer parameter parsing"),
spaces and commas in lowerdir mount option value used to be escaped using
seq_show_option().
In current upstream, when lowerdir value has a space, it is not escaped
in /proc/mounts, e.g.:
none /mnt overlay rw,relatime,lowerdir=l l,upperdir=u,workdir=w 0 0
which results in broken output of the mount utility:
none on /mnt type overlay (rw,relatime,lowerdir=l)
Store the original lowerdir mount options before unescaping and show
them using the same escaping used for seq_show_option() in addition to
escaping the colon separator character.

Until now, fscrypt has always used the filesystem block size as the
granularity of file contents encryption. Two scenarios have come up
where a sub-block granularity of contents encryption would be useful:
1. Inline crypto hardware that only supports a crypto data unit size
that is less than the filesystem block size.
2. Support for direct I/O at a granularity less than the filesystem
block size, for example at the block device's logical block size in
order to match the traditional direct I/O alignment requirement.
(1) first came up with older eMMC inline crypto hardware that only
supports a crypto data unit size of 512 bytes. That specific case
ultimately went away because all systems with that hardware continued
using out of tree code and never actually upgraded to the upstream
inline crypto framework. But, now it's coming back in a new way: some
current UFS controllers only support a data unit size of 4096 bytes, and
there is a proposal to increase the filesystem block size to 16K.
(2) was discussed as a "nice to have" feature, though not essential,
when support for direct I/O on encrypted files was being upstreamed.
Still, the fact that this feature has come up several times does suggest
it would be wise to have available. Therefore, this patch implements it
by using one of the reserved bytes in fscrypt_policy_v2 to allow users
to select a sub-block data unit size. Supported data unit sizes are
powers of 2 between 512 and the filesystem block size, inclusively.
Support is implemented for both the FS-layer and inline crypto cases.
This patch focuses on the basic support for sub-block data units. Some
things are out of scope for this patch but may be addressed later:
- Supporting sub-block data units in combination with
FSCRYPT_POLICY_FLAG_IV_INO_LBLK_64, in most cases. Unfortunately this
combination usually causes data unit indices to exceed 32 bits, and
thus fscrypt_supported_policy() correctly disallows it. The users who
potentially need this combination are using f2fs. To support it, f2fs
would need to provide an option to slightly reduce its max file size.
- Supporting sub-block data units in combination with
FSCRYPT_POLICY_FLAG_IV_INO_LBLK_32. This has the same problem
described above, but also it will need special code to make DUN
wraparound still happen on a FS block boundary.
- Supporting use case (2) mentioned above. The encrypted direct I/O
code will need to stop requiring and assuming FS block alignment.
This won't be hard, but it belongs in a separate patch.
- Supporting this feature on filesystems other than ext4 and f2fs.
(Filesystems declare support for it via their fscrypt_operations.)
On UBIFS, sub-block data units don't make sense because UBIFS encrypts
variable-length blocks as a result of compression. CephFS could
support it, but a bit more work would be needed to make the
fscrypt_*_block_inplace functions play nicely with sub-block data
units. I don't think there's a use case for this on CephFS anyway.

With madvise and prctl KSM can be enabled for different VMA's. Once it is
enabled we can query how effective KSM is overall. However we cannot
easily query if an individual VMA benefits from KSM.
This commit adds a KSM section to the /prod/<pid>/smaps file. It reports
how many of the pages are KSM pages. Note that KSM-placed zeropages are
not included, only actual KSM pages.

This information also helps with the following workflow:
- First enable KSM for all the VMA's of a process with prctl.
- Then analyze with the above smaps report which VMA's benefit the most
- Change the application (if possible) to add the corresponding madvise
calls for the VMA's that benefit the most

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
"I'm thrilled to announce that the Linux in-kernel NFS server now
offers NFSv4 write delegations. A write delegation enables a client to
cache data and metadata for a single file more aggressively, reducing
network round trips and server workload. Many thanks to Dai Ngo for
contributing this facility, and to Jeff Layton and Neil Brown for
reviewing and testing it.
This release also sees the removal of all support for DES- and
triple-DES-based Kerberos encryption types in the kernel's SunRPC
implementation. These encryption types have been deprecated by the
Internet community for years and are considered insecure. This change
affects both the in-kernel NFS client and server.
The server's UDP and TCP socket transports have now fully adopted
David Howells' new bio_vec iterator so that no more than one sendmsg()
call is needed to transmit each RPC message. In particular, this helps
kTLS optimize record boundaries when sending RPC-with-TLS replies, and
it takes the server a baby step closer to handling file I/O via
folios.
We've begun work on overhauling the SunRPC thread scheduler to remove
a costly linked-list walk when looking for an idle RPC service thread
to wake. The pre-requisites are included in this release. Thanks to
Neil Brown for his ongoing work on this improvement"

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
"This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).
CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
part of this feature, and just for userspace.
The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.
For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
versions of this patch set"

Pull iomap updates from Darrick Wong:
"We've got some big changes for this release -- I'm very happy to be
landing willy's work to enable large folios for the page cache for
general read and write IOs when the fs can make contiguous space
allocations, and Ritesh's work to track sub-folio dirty state to
eliminate the write amplification problems inherent in using large
folios.
As a bonus, io_uring can now process write completions in the caller's
context instead of bouncing through a workqueue, which should reduce
io latency dramatically. IOWs, XFS should see a nice performance bump
for both IO paths.
Summary:
- Make large writes to the page cache fill sparse parts of the cache
with large folios, then use large memcpy calls for the large folio.
- Track the per-block dirty state of each large folio so that a
buffered write to a single byte on a large folio does not result in
a (potentially) multi-megabyte writeback IO.
- Allow some directio completions to be performed in the initiating
task's context instead of punting through a workqueue. This will
reduce latency for some io_uring requests"

Pull superblock updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the super rework that was ready for this cycle. The
first part changes the order of how we open block devices and allocate
superblocks, contains various cleanups, simplifications, and a new
mechanism to wait on superblock state changes.
This unblocks work to ultimately limit the number of writers to a
block device. Jan has already scheduled follow-up work that will be
ready for v6.7 and allows us to restrict the number of writers to a
given block device. That series builds on this work right here.
The second part contains filesystem freezing updates.
Overview:
The generic superblock changes are rougly organized as follows
(ignoring additional minor cleanups):
(1) Removal of the bd_super member from struct block_device.
This was a very odd back pointer to struct super_block with
unclear rules. For all relevant places we have other means to get
the same information so just get rid of this.
(2) Simplify rules for superblock cleanup.
Roughly, everything that is allocated during fs_context
initialization and that's stored in fs_context->s_fs_info needs
to be cleaned up by the fs_context->free() implementation before
the superblock allocation function has been called successfully.
After sget_fc() returned fs_context->s_fs_info has been
transferred to sb->s_fs_info at which point sb->kill_sb() if
fully responsible for cleanup. Adhering to these rules means that
cleanup of sb->s_fs_info in fill_super() is to be avoided as it's
brittle and inconsistent.
Cleanup shouldn't be duplicated between sb->put_super() as
sb->put_super() is only called if sb->s_root has been set aka
when the filesystem has been successfully born (SB_BORN). That
complexity should be avoided.
This also means that block devices are to be closed in
sb->kill_sb() instead of sb->put_super(). More details in the
lower section.
(3) Make it possible to lookup or create a superblock before opening
block devices
There's a subtle dependency on (2) as some filesystems did rely
on fill_super() to be called in order to correctly clean up
sb->s_fs_info. All these filesystems have been fixed.
(4) Switch most filesystem to follow the same logic as the generic
mount code now does as outlined in (3).
(5) Use the superblock as the holder of the block device. We can now
easily go back from block device to owning superblock.
(6) Export and extend the generic fs_holder_ops and use them as
holder ops everywhere and remove the filesystem specific holder
ops.
(7) Call from the block layer up into the filesystem layer when the
block device is removed, allowing to shut down the filesystem
without risk of deadlocks.
(8) Get rid of get_super().
We can now easily go back from the block device to owning
superblock and can call up from the block layer into the
filesystem layer when the device is removed. So no need to wade
through all registered superblock to find the owning superblock
anymore"

for vfs and individual filesystems.
Features:
- Block mode changes on symlinks and rectify our broken semantics
- Report file modifications via fsnotify() for splice
- Allow specifying an explicit timeout for the "rootwait" kernel
command line option. This allows to timeout and reboot instead of
always waiting indefinitely for the root device to show up
- Use synchronous fput for the close system call
Cleanups:
- Get rid of open-coded lockdep workarounds for async io submitters
and replace it all with a single consolidated helper
- Simplify epoll allocation helper
- Convert simple_write_begin and simple_write_end to use a folio
- Convert page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm() to use a folio
- Simplify __range_close to avoid pointless locking
- Disable per-cpu buffer head cache for isolated cpus
- Port ecryptfs to kmap_local_page() api
- Remove redundant initialization of pointer buf in pipe code
- Unexport the d_genocide() function which is only used within core
vfs
- Replace printk(KERN_ERR) and WARN_ON() with WARN()

- Fix various kernel-doc issues
- Fix refcount underflow for eventfds when used as EFD_SEMAPHORE
- Fix a mainly theoretical issue in devpts
- Check the return value of __getblk() in reiserfs
- Fix a racy assert in i_readcount_dec
- Fix integer conversion issues in various functions
- Fix LSM security context handling during automounts that prevented

Pull libfs and tmpfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This cycle saw a lot of work for tmpfs that required changes to the
vfs layer. Andrew, Hugh, and I decided to take tmpfs through vfs this
cycle. Things will go back to mm next cycle.
Features
========
- By far the biggest work is the quota support for tmpfs. New tmpfs
quota infrastructure is added to support it and a new QFMT_SHMEM
uapi option is exposed.
This offers user and group quotas to tmpfs (project quotas will be
added later). Similar to other filesystems tmpfs quota are not
supported within user namespaces yet.
- Add support for user xattrs. While tmpfs already supports security
xattrs (security.*) and POSIX ACLs for a long time it lacked
support for user xattrs (user.*). With this pull request tmpfs will
be able to support a limited number of user xattrs.
This is accompanied by a fix (see below) to limit persistent simple
xattr allocations.
- Add support for stable directory offsets. Currently tmpfs relies on
the libfs provided cursor-based mechanism for readdir. This causes
issues when a tmpfs filesystem is exported via NFS.
NFS clients do not open directories. Instead, each server-side
readdir operation opens the directory, reads it, and then closes
it. Since the cursor state for that directory is associated with
the opened file it is discarded after each readdir operation. Such
directory offsets are not just cached by NFS clients but also
various userspace libraries based on these clients.
As it stands there is no way to invalidate the caches when
directory offsets have changed and the whole application depends on
unchanging directory offsets.
At LSFMM we discussed how to solve this problem and decided to
support stable directory offsets. libfs now allows filesystems like
tmpfs to use an xarrary to map a directory offset to a dentry. This
mechanism is currently only used by tmpfs but can be supported by
others as well.
Fixes
=====
- Change persistent simple xattrs allocations in libfs from
GFP_KERNEL to GPF_KERNEL_ACCOUNT so they're subject to memory
cgroup limits. Since this is a change to libfs it affects both
tmpfs and kernfs.
- Correctly verify {g,u}id mount options.
A new filesystem context is created via fsopen() which records the
namespace that becomes the owning namespace of the superblock when
fsconfig(FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE) is called for filesystems that are
mountable in namespaces. However, fsconfig() calls can occur in a
namespace different from the namespace where fsopen() has been
called.
Currently, when fsconfig() is called to set {g,u}id mount options
the requested {g,u}id is mapped into a k{g,u}id according to the
namespace where fsconfig() was called from. The resulting k{g,u}id
is not guaranteed to be resolvable in the namespace of the
filesystem (the one that fsopen() was called in).
This means it's possible for an unprivileged user to create files
owned by any group in a tmpfs mount since it's possible to set the
setid bits on the tmpfs directory.
The contract for {g,u}id mount options and {g,u}id values in
general set from userspace has always been that they are translated
according to the caller's idmapping. In so far, tmpfs has been
doing the correct thing. But since tmpfs is mountable in
unprivileged contexts it is also necessary to verify that the
resulting {k,g}uid is representable in the namespace of the
superblock to avoid such bugs.
The new mount api's cross-namespace delegation abilities are
already widely used. Having talked to a bunch of userspace this is
the most faithful solution with minimal regression risks"

Remove the checks for the VMA lock being held, allowing the page fault
path to call into the filesystem instead of retrying with the mmap_lock
held. This will improve scalability for DAX page faults. Also update the
documentation to match (and fix some other changes that have happened
recently).
