9202ee546b xfs: fix null pointer dereference in tracepoint
If dfp is not NULL we exit early here, when dfp is NULL it's allocated
in xfs_defer_alloc() but not assigned. The tracepoint tries to
dereference members of dfp struct.

45de375b25 xfs: fix memory leak in xfs_dqinode_metadir_create()
If xfs_metadir_create() fails in xfs_dqinode_metadir_create(), the current
code returns directly, leaking the allocated update and transaction state.
If the subsequent commit fails, the caller-owned inode reference is left
behind.

Fix this memory leak by routing the create failure path through
xfs_metadir_cancel().  For both create and commit failures, finish and
release any inode returned to the caller, mirroring the unwind pattern in
xfs_metadir_mkdir().

The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly
available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still
present in v7.1.1.

An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. Runtime validation
used kprobe fault injection during `mount -o uquota` on a metadir XFS
image. Injecting xfs_metadir_create() reproduced the old active-update path
that left mount stuck later in mount setup; after this change, the same
injection reported cancel_hits=1 and irele_hits=1. Injecting
xfs_metadir_commit() exercised the old inode-reference leak path; after
this change, it reported irele_hits=1.

Merge tag 'vfs-7.2-rc1.casefold' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs casefolding updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This exposes the case folding behavior of local filesystems so that
  file servers - nfsd, ksmbd, and user space file servers - can report
  the actual behavior to clients instead of guessing.

  Filesystems report case-insensitive and case-nonpreserving behavior
  via new file_kattr flags in their fileattr_get implementations. fat,
  exfat, ntfs3, hfs, hfsplus, xfs, cifs, nfs, vboxsf, and isofs are
  wired up. Local filesystems that are not explicitly handled default to
  the usual POSIX behavior of case-sensitive and case-preserving.

  nfsd uses this to report case folding via NFSv3 PATHCONF and to
  implement the NFSv4 FATTR4_CASE_INSENSITIVE and FATTR4_CASE_PRESERVING
  attributes - both have been part of the NFS protocols for decades to
  support clients on non-POSIX systems - and ksmbd reports it via
  FS_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION. Exposing the information through the
  fileattr uapi covers user space file servers.

  The immediate motivation is interoperability: Windows NFS clients
  hard-require servers to report case-insensitivity for Win32
  applications to work correctly, and a client that knows the server is
  case-insensitive can avoid issuing multiple LOOKUP/READDIR requests
  searching for case variants.

  The Linux NFS client already grew support for case-insensitive shares
  years ago in support of the Hammerspace NFS server - negative dentry
  caching must be disabled (a lookup for "FILE.TXT" failing must not
  cache a negative entry when "file.txt" exists) and directory change
  invalidation must drop cached case-folded name variants. Such servers
  often operate in multi-protocol environments where a single file
  service instance caters to both NFS and SMB clients, and nfsd needs to
  report case folding properly to participate as a first-class citizen
  there.

  A follow-up series brings fixes for the initial work: the nfsd
  case-info probe now uses kernel credentials, maps -ESTALE to
  NFS3ERR_STALE, and has its cost capped across READDIR entries; the nfs
  client avoids transiently zeroed case capability bits during the probe
  and skips the pathconf probe when neither field is consumed; the
  FS_CASEFOLD_FL semantics are clarified in the UAPI header; and the
  tools UAPI headers are synced"

202ff980a4 xfs: move XFS_LSN_CMP to xfs_log_format.h

84eec3f7fc xfs: fix pointer arithmetic error on 32-bit systems
The translation of the old XFS_BMBT_KEY_ADDR macro into a static
function is not correct on 32-bit systems because the sizeof() argument
went from being a xfs_bmbt_key_t (i.e. a struct) to a (struct
xfs_bmbt_key *) (i.e. a pointer to the same struct).  On 64-bit systems
this turns out ok because they are the same size, but on 32-bit systems
this is catastrophic because they are not the same size.  So far there
have been no complaints, most likely because the xfs developers urge
against running it on 32-bit systems.  But this needs fixing asap.

9b64ca202f xfs: store an agbno in struct xfs_imap
The xfs_imap structure is embedded into the xfs_inode, which means the
size of it directly affects the inode size.  Replacing the xfs_daddr_t
with an xfs_agbno_t and taking the AG information from other easily
available sources allows us to shrink the structure including the
typical padding from 16 bytes to 8 bytes.

As a side-effect the debugging check in xfs_imap() naturally now
converges to a stricter variant that checks that the cluster is located
inside a single AG, and not just inside the entire device.

1113a6d6d5 xfs: remove the i_ino field in struct xfs_inode
Now that the VFS inode has a u64 i_ino field, there is no need to store
a copy of the inode number in the xfs_inode structure.

Introduce an I_INO() wrapper as a shortcut to the inode number so that
we don't have to propagate the VFS inode everywhere.

The only non-obvious part is the clearing of i_ino to 0 for RCU freeing
the inode.  None of this calls into VFS paths, which makes clearing the
VFS inode field here just as safe as clearing the old field in the
xfs_inode.

xfs: Report case sensitivity in fileattr_get
Upper layers such as NFSD need to query whether a filesystem
is case-sensitive. Add FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD to xfs_ip2xflags()
when the filesystem is formatted with the ASCIICI feature
flag. This serves both FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR (via xfs_fill_fsxattr()
in xfs_fileattr_get()) and XFS_IOC_BULKSTAT (which populates
bs_xflags directly from xfs_ip2xflags()), so bulkstat consumers
and per-inode queries see a consistent view of the filesystem's
case-folding behavior.

FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD is read-only: FS_XFLAG_RDONLY_MASK ensures
FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR strips it, and xfs_flags2diflags() has no
clause for CASEFOLD so the on-disk diflags are unaffected.
The legacy FS_IOC_SETFLAGS path in xfs_fileattr_set() also
allows FS_CASEFOLD_FL through its allowlist on ASCIICI
filesystems so that a chattr read-modify-write cycle does
not fail with EOPNOTSUPP.

XFS always preserves case. XFS is case-sensitive by default,
but supports ASCII case-insensitive lookups when formatted
with the ASCIICI feature flag.

8fbb1877df xfs: zero directory data block padding on write verification
Old kernels did not zero the pad field in xfs_dir3_data_hdr when
initializing directory data blocks, so existing filesystems may have
non-zero padding on disk.

Zero the pad field in xfs_dir3_data_write_verify alongside the existing
LSN and checksum updates. The pad field is pure alignment padding with
no runtime meaning, so zeroing it during write verification is safe and
has no additional I/O cost. This lets filesystems gradually self-heal
stale non-zero padding as directories are modified, without requiring an
explicit repair pass.

Zero the entire header region (geo->data_entry_offset bytes)

current and future header fields, all padding (implicit and explicit),
and the bestfree array, so the manual zeroing loop for bestfree can be
removed.

497560b9ef xfs: switch (back) to a per-buftarg buffer hash
The per-AG buffer hashes were added when all buffer lookups took a
per-hash look.  Since then we've made lookups entirely lockless and
removed the need for a hash-wide lock for inserts and removals as
well.  With this there is no need to sharding the hash, so reduce the
used resources by using a per-buftarg hash for all buftargs.

Long after writing this initially, syzbot found a problem in the buffer
cache teardown order, which this happens to fix as well by doing the
entire buffer cache teardown in one places instead of splitting it
between destroying the buftarg and the perag structures.

e5966096d0 xfs: annotate struct xfs_attr_list_context with __counted_by_ptr
Add the `__counted_by_ptr` attribute to the `buffer` field of `struct
xfs_attr_list_context`. This field is used to point to a buffer of
size `bufsize`.

The `buffer` field is assigned in:
1. `xfs_ioc_attr_list` in `fs/xfs/xfs_handle.c`
2. `xfs_xattr_list` in `fs/xfs/xfs_xattr.c`
3. `xfs_getparents` in `fs/xfs/xfs_handle.c` (implicitly initialized to NULL)

In `xfs_ioc_attr_list`, `buffer` was assigned before `bufsize`. Reorder
them to ensure `bufsize` is set before `buffer` is assigned, although
no access happens between them.

In `xfs_xattr_list`, `buffer` was assigned before `bufsize`. Reorder
them to ensure `bufsize` is set before `buffer` is assigned.

In `xfs_getparents`, `buffer` is NULL (from zero initialization) and
remains NULL. `bufsize` is set to a non-zero value, but since `buffer`
is NULL, no access occurs.

In all cases, the pointer `buffer` is not accessed before `bufsize` is set.

This patch was generated by CodeMender and reviewed by Bill Wendling.
Tested by running xfstests.

c6ce65cb17 xfs: add write pointer to xfs_rtgroup_geometry
There is currently no XFS ioctl that allows userspace to retrieve the
write pointer for a specific realtime group block for zoned XFS. On zoned
block devices, userspace can obtain this information via zone reports from
the underlying device. However, for zoned XFS operating on regular block
devices, no equivalent mechanism exists.

Access to the realtime group write pointer is useful to userspace
development and analysis tools such as Zonar [1]. So extend the existing
struct xfs_rtgroup_geometry to add a new rg_writepointer field. This field
is valid if XFS_RTGROUP_GEOM_WRITEPOINTER flag is set. The rg_writepointer
field specifies the location of the current writepointer as a block offset
into the respective rtgroup.

650b774cf9 xfs: add static size checks for ioctl UABI
The ioctl structures in libxfs/xfs_fs.h are missing static size checks.
It is useful to have static size checks for these structures as adding
new fields to them could cause issues (e.g. extra padding that may be
inserted by the compiler). So add these checks to xfs/xfs_ondisk.h.

Due to different padding/alignment requirements across different
architectures, to avoid build failures, some structures are ommited from
the size checks. For example, structures with "compat_" definitions in
xfs/xfs_ioctl32.h are ommited.

than expected on file systems with a lot of metafile inodes like zoned
file systems on SMR hard disks with 10.000s of rtg rmap inodes.

Remove all metafile inodes from the active counter to make it more useful
to track actual workloads and add a separate counter for active metafile
inodes.

bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from

instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)

 offset happens to be the same offset as the end of the entries array
 during an attr set operation, the leaf entry table expansion will push
 the freemap record offset upwards without checking for overlap with any
 other freemap entries.  If there happened to be a second freemap entry
 overlapping with the newly allocated leaf entry space, then the next
 attr set operation might find that space and overwrite the leaf entry,
 thereby corrupting the leaf block.
 
 Fix this by zeroing the freemap offset any time we set the size to zero.
 If a subsequent attr set operation finds no space in the freemap, it
 will compact the block and regenerate the freemaps.

 Events are captured by hooking various parts of XFS and iomap so that
 metadata health failures, file I/O errors, and major changes in
 filesystem state (unmounts, shutdowns, etc.) can be observed by
 programs.
 
 When an event occurs, the hook functions queue an event object to each
 event anonfd for later processing.  Programs must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN
 to open the anonfd and there's a maximum event lag to prevent resource
 overconsumption.  The events themselves can be read() from the anonfd
 as C structs for the xfs_healer daemon.
 
 In userspace, we create a new daemon program that will read the event
 objects and initiate repairs automatically.  This daemon is managed
 entirely by systemd and will not block unmounting of the filesystem
 unless repairs are ongoing.  They are auto-started by a starter
 service that uses fanotify.
 
 This patchset depends on the new fserror code that Christian Brauner

eaec8aeff3 xfs: add a method to replace shortform attrs
If we're trying to replace an xattr in a shortform attr structure and
the old entry fits the new entry, we can just memcpy and exit without
having to delete, compact, and re-add the entry (or worse use the attr
intent machinery).  For parent pointers this only advantages renaming
where the filename length stays the same (e.g. mv autoexec.bat
scandisk.exe) but for regular xattrs it might be useful for updating
security labels and the like.

d693534513 xfs: speed up parent pointer operations when possible

machine with 20 CPUs, 128G of memory, and an NVME SSD capable of pushing
750000iops, I see the following results:

 $ mkfs.xfs -f -l logdev=/dev/nvme1n1,size=1g /dev/nvme0n1 -n parent=0

So we created 40 AGs, one per CPU.  Now we create 40 directories and run
fsmark:

 $ time fs_mark  -D  10000  -S  0  -n  100000  -s  0  -L  8 -d ...

Parent pointers increase the system time by 28% overhead to create 32
million files that are totally empty.  Removing them incurs a system
time increase of 56%.  Wall time increases by 9% and 22%.

For most filesystems, each file tends to have a single owner and not
that many xattrs.  If the xattr structure is shortform, then all xattr
changes are logged with the inode and do not require the the xattr
intent mechanism to persist the parent pointer.

Therefore, we can speed up parent pointer operations by calling the
shortform xattr functions directly if the child's xattr is in short
format.  Now the overhead looks like:

 $ time fs_mark  -D  10000  -S  0  -n  100000  -s  0  -L  8 -d ...

Now parent pointers only increase the system time by 8% for creation and
19% for deletion.  Wall time increases by 5% and 9% now.

Close the performance gap by creating helpers for the attr set, remove,
and replace operations that will try to make direct shortform updates,
and fall back to the attr intent machinery if that doesn't work.  This
works for regular xattrs and for parent pointers.
