Merge tag 'v6.6-vfs.tmpfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
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"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
