dcssblk_remove_store() holds the dcssblk_devices_sem semaphore while calling del_gendisk(dev_info->gd), which in turn tries to acquire disk->open_mutex. Then there is dcssblk_release(), which is called with disk->open_mutex held, and tries to acquire dcssblk_devices_sem. Lockdep reports this as possible circular locking dependency (CPU0 = dcssblk_remove_store, CPU1 = dcssblk_release): [ 44.948865] Possible unsafe locking scenario: [ 44.948866] CPU0 CPU1 [ 44.948867] ---- ---- [ 44.948868] lock(&dcssblk_devices_sem); [ 44.948870] lock(&disk->open_mutex); [ 44.948872] lock(&dcssblk_devices_sem); [ 44.948874] lock(&disk->open_mutex); [ 44.948876] *** DEADLOCK *** In practice, this deadlock should not happen, since dcssblk_remove_store() checks for dev_info->use_count != 0 after acquiring dcssblk_devices_sem, and breaks out before calling del_gendisk(). dev_info->use_count will be decremented in dcssblk_release(), protected by dcssblk_devices_sem. Still there is no need for dcssblk_remove_store() to hold the dcssblk_devices_sem until after calling del_gendisk(), as this only protects dcssblk internal data. So fix the lockdep warning by releasing dcssblk_devices_sem earlier. Also move the segment_unload() loop up, similar to dcssblk_shared_store() error path, no need to do that after calling del_gendisk(). Also change dcssblk_shared_store() error path, where dcssblk_devices_sem was also released only after calling del_gendisk(), and a similar lockdep warning could be triggered (but also deadlock prevented by check for dev_info->use_count).

Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens: - Add vfio-ap support to pass-through crypto devices to secure execution guests - Add API ordinal 6 support to zcrypt_ep11misc device drive, which is required to handle key generate and key derive (e.g. secure key to protected key) correctly - Add missing secure/has_secure sysfs files for the case where it is not possible to figure where a system has been booted from. Existing user space relies on that these files are always present - Fix DCSS block device driver list corruption, caused by incorrect error handling - Convert virt_to_pfn() and pfn_to_virt() from defines to static inline functions to enforce type checking - Cleanups, improvements, and minor fixes to the kernel mapping setup - Fix various virtual vs physical address confusions - Move pfault code to separate file, since it has nothing to do with regular fault handling - Move s390 documentation to Documentation/arch/ like it has been done for other architectures already - Add HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RETVAL support - Factor out the s390_hypfs filesystem and add a new config option for it. The filesystem is deprecated and as soon as all users are gone it can be removed some time in the not so near future - Remove support for old CEX2 and CEX3 crypto cards from zcrypt device driver - Add support for user-defined certificates: receive user-defined certificates with a diagnose call and provide them via 'cert_store' keyring to user space - Couple of other small fixes and improvements all over the place * tag 's390-6.6-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (66 commits) s390/pci: use builtin_misc_device macro to simplify the code s390/vfio-ap: make sure nib is shared KVM: s390: export kvm_s390_pv*_is_protected functions s390/uv: export uv_pin_shared for direct usage s390/vfio-ap: check for TAPQ response codes 0x35 and 0x36 s390/vfio-ap: handle queue state change in progress on reset s390/vfio-ap: use work struct to verify queue reset s390/vfio-ap: store entire AP queue status word with the queue object s390/vfio-ap: remove upper limit on wait for queue reset to complete s390/vfio-ap: allow deconfigured queue to be passed through to a guest s390/vfio-ap: wait for response code 05 to clear on queue reset s390/vfio-ap: clean up irq resources if possible s390/vfio-ap: no need to check the 'E' and 'I' bits in APQSW after TAPQ s390/ipl: refactor deprecated strncpy s390/ipl: fix virtual vs physical address confusion s390/zcrypt_ep11misc: support API ordinal 6 with empty pin-blob s390/paes: fix PKEY_TYPE_EP11_AES handling for secure keyblobs s390/pkey: fix PKEY_TYPE_EP11_AES handling for sysfs attributes s390/pkey: fix PKEY_TYPE_EP11_AES handling in PKEY_VERIFYKEY2 IOCTL s390/pkey: fix PKEY_TYPE_EP11_AES handling in PKEY_KBLOB2PROTK[23] ...

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: - The biggest change is introduction of a new iteration of the SCHED_FAIR interactivity code: the EEVDF ("Earliest Eligible Virtual Deadline First") scheduler EEVDF too is a virtual-time scheduler, with two parameters (weight and relative deadline), compared to CFS that had weight only. It completely reworks the base scheduler: placement, preemption, picking -- everything LWN.net, as usual, has a terrific writeup about EEVDF: https://lwn.net/Articles/925371/ Preemption (both tick and wakeup) is driven by testing against a fresh pick. Because the tree is now effectively an interval tree, and the selection is no longer the 'leftmost' task, over-scheduling is less of a problem. A lot of the CFS heuristics are removed or replaced by more natural latency-space parameters & constructs In terms of expected performance regressions: we will and can fix everything where a 'good' workload misbehaves with the new scheduler, but EEVDF inevitably changes workload scheduling in a binary fashion, hopefully for the better in the overwhelming majority of cases, but in some cases it won't, especially in adversarial loads that got lucky with the previous code, such as some variants of hackbench. We are trying hard to err on the side of fixing all performance regressions, but we expect some inevitable post-release iterations of that process - Improve load-balancing on hybrid x86 systems: enable cluster scheduling (again) - Improve & fix bandwidth-scheduling on nohz systems - Improve bandwidth-throttling - Use lock guards to simplify and de-goto-ify control flow - Misc improvements, cleanups and fixes * tag 'sched-core-2023-08-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (43 commits) sched/eevdf/doc: Modify the documented knob to base_slice_ns as well sched/eevdf: Curb wakeup-preemption sched: Simplify sched_core_cpu_{starting,deactivate}() sched: Simplify try_steal_cookie() sched: Simplify sched_tick_remote() sched: Simplify sched_exec() sched: Simplify ttwu() sched: Simplify wake_up_if_idle() sched: Simplify: migrate_swap_stop() sched: Simplify sysctl_sched_uclamp_handler() sched: Simplify get_nohz_timer_target() sched/rt: sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice show default timeslice after reset sched/rt: Fix sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice intial value sched/fair: Block nohz tick_stop when cfs bandwidth in use sched, cgroup: Restore meaning to hierarchical_quota MAINTAINERS: Add Peter explicitly to the psi section sched/psi: Select KERNFS as needed sched/topology: Align group flags when removing degenerate domain sched/fair: remove util_est boosting sched/fair: Propagate enqueue flags into place_entity() ...

That's sufficient for x86 which usually has at max two threads except for the Xeon PHI platform which has four threads per core Though PowerPC has up to 16 threads per core and so far it's only possible to control the number of enabled threads per core via a command line option.

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.

Pull procfs fixes from Christian Brauner: "Mode changes to files under /proc/<pid>/ aren't supported ever since commit 6d76fa58 ("Don't allow chmod() on the /proc/<pid>/ files"). Due to an oversight in commit 1b3044e3 ("procfs: fix pthread cross-thread naming if !PR_DUMPABLE") in switching from REG to NOD, mode changes on /proc/thread-self/comm were accidently allowed. Similar, mode changes for all files beneath /proc/<pid>/net/ are blocked but mode changes on /proc/<pid>/net itself were accidently allowed. Both issues come down to not using the generic proc_setattr() helper which blocks all mode changes. This is rectified with this pull request. This also removes a strange nolibc test that abused /proc/<pid>/net for testing mode changes. Using procfs for this test never made a lot of sense given procfs has special semantics for almost everything anway. Both changes are minor user-visible changes.

Pull fchmodat2 system call from Christian Brauner: "This adds the fchmodat2() system call. It is a revised version of the fchmodat() system call, adding a missing flag argument. Support for both AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW and AT_EMPTY_PATH are included. Adding this system call revision has been a longstanding request but so far has always fallen through the cracks. While the kernel implementation of fchmodat() does not have a flag argument the libc provided POSIX-compliant fchmodat(3) version does. Both glibc and musl have to implement a workaround in order to support AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW (see [1] and [2]). The workaround is brittle because it relies not just on O_PATH and O_NOFOLLOW semantics and procfs magic links but also on our rather inconsistent symlink semantics. This gives userspace a proper fchmodat2() system call that libcs can use to properly implement fchmodat(3) and allows them to get rid of their hacks. In this case it will immediately benefit them as the current workaround is already defunct because of aformentioned inconsistencies. In addition to AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, give userspace the ability to use AT_EMPTY_PATH with fchmodat2(). This is already possible with fchownat() so there's no reason to not also support it for fchmodat2(). The implementation is simple and comes with selftests. Implementation of the system call and wiring up the system call are done as separate patches even though they could arguably be one patch. But in case there are merge conflicts from other system call additions it can be beneficial to have separate patches" Link: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fchmodat.c;h=17eca54051ee28ba1ec3f9aed170a62630959143;hb=a492b1e5ef7ab50c6fdd4e4e9879ea5569ab0a6c#l35 [1] Link: https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/stat/fchmodat.c?id=718f363bc2067b6487900eddc9180c84e7739f80#n28 [2] * tag 'v6.6-vfs.fchmodat2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: selftests: fchmodat2: remove duplicate unneeded defines fchmodat2: add support for AT_EMPTY_PATH selftests: Add fchmodat2 selftest arch: Register fchmodat2, usually as syscall 452 fs: Add fchmodat2() Non-functional cleanup of a "__user * filename"

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" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230824-prall-intakt-95dbffdee4a0@brauner/ * tag 'v6.6-vfs.super' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (47 commits) super: use higher-level helper for {freeze,thaw} super: wait until we passed kill super super: wait for nascent superblocks super: make locking naming consistent super: use locking helpers fs: simplify invalidate_inodes fs: remove get_super block: call into the file system for ioctl BLKFLSBUF block: call into the file system for bdev_mark_dead block: consolidate __invalidate_device and fsync_bdev block: drop the "busy inodes on changed media" log message dasd: also call __invalidate_device when setting the device offline amiflop: don't call fsync_bdev in FDFMTBEG floppy: call disk_force_media_change when changing the format block: simplify the disk_force_media_change interface nbd: call blk_mark_disk_dead in nbd_clear_sock_ioctl xfs use fs_holder_ops for the log and RT devices xfs: drop s_umount over opening the log and RT devices ext4: use fs_holder_ops for the log device ext4: drop s_umount over opening the log device ...

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" * tag 'v6.6-vfs.tmpfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: tmpfs,xattr: GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for simple xattrs mm: invalidation check mapping before folio_contains tmpfs: trivial support for direct IO tmpfs,xattr: enable limited user extended attributes tmpfs: track free_ispace instead of free_inodes xattr: simple_xattr_set() return old_xattr to be freed tmpfs: verify {g,u}id mount options correctly shmem: move spinlock into shmem_recalc_inode() to fix quota support libfs: Remove parent dentry locking in offset_iterate_dir() libfs: Add a lock class for the offset map's xa_lock shmem: stable directory offsets shmem: Refactor shmem_symlink() libfs: Add directory operations for stable offsets shmem: fix quota lock nesting in huge hole handling shmem: Add default quota limit mount options shmem: quota support shmem: prepare shmem quota infrastructure quota: Check presence of quota operation structures instead of ->quota_read and ->quota_write callbacks shmem: make shmem_get_inode() return ERR_PTR instead of NULL shmem: make shmem_inode_acct_block() return error

Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner: "This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs, xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant filesystems. The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes. Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the client decide to invalidate the cache. Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps (e.g., backup applications). If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates. This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are actively queried. This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one. As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used. Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use coarse-grained timestamps. Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included: - Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all maintainers provided necessary Acks. - Add new accessors for inode->i_ctime directly and change all callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode->i_ctime are now gone and it is accordingly rename to inode->__i_ctime and commented as requiring accessors. - Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in. - Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers. - Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it removing a bunch of open-coding" * tag 'v6.6-vfs.ctime' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (107 commits) btrfs: convert to multigrain timestamps ext4: switch to multigrain timestamps xfs: switch to multigrain timestamps tmpfs: add support for multigrain timestamps fs: add infrastructure for multigrain timestamps fs: drop the timespec64 argument from update_time xfs: have xfs_vn_update_time gets its own timestamp fat: make fat_update_time get its own timestamp fat: remove i_version handling from fat_update_time ubifs: have ubifs_update_time use inode_update_timestamps btrfs: have it use inode_update_timestamps fs: drop the timespec64 arg from generic_update_time fs: pass the request_mask to generic_fillattr fs: remove silly warning from current_time gfs2: fix timestamp handling on quota inodes fs: rename i_ctime field to __i_ctime selinux: convert to ctime accessor functions security: convert to ctime accessor functions apparmor: convert to ctime accessor functions sunrpc: convert to ctime accessor functions ...

Pull mount API updates from Christian Brauner: "This introduces FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL which allows userspace to implement something like $ mount -t ext4 --exclusive /dev/sda /B which fails if a superblock for the requested filesystem does already exist instead of silently reusing an existing superblock. Without it, in the sequence $ move-mount -f xfs -o source=/dev/sda4 /A $ move-mount -f xfs -o noacl,source=/dev/sda4 /B the initial mounter will create a superblock. The second mounter will reuse the existing superblock, creating a bind-mount (see [1] for the source of the move-mount binary). The problem is that reusing an existing superblock means all mount options other than read-only and read-write will be silently ignored even if they are incompatible requests. For example, the second mount has requested no POSIX ACL support but since the existing superblock is reused POSIX ACL support will remain enabled. Such silent superblock reuse can easily become a security issue. After adding support for FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL to mount(8) in util-linux this can be fixed: $ move-mount -f xfs --exclusive -o source=/dev/sda4 /A $ move-mount -f xfs --exclusive -o noacl,source=/dev/sda4 /B Device or resource busy | move-mount.c: 300: do_fsconfig: i xfs: reusing existing filesystem not allowed This requires the new mount api. With the old mount api it would be necessary to plumb this through every legacy filesystem's file_system_type->mount() method. If they want this feature they are most welcome to switch to the new mount api" Link: https://github.com/brauner/move-mount-beneath [1] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20230704-fasching-wertarbeit-7c6ffb01c83d@brauner Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20230705-pumpwerk-vielversprechend-a4b1fd947b65@brauner Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20230725-einnahmen-warnschilder-17779aec0a97@brauner Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230824-anzog-allheilmittel-e8c63e429a79@brauner/ * tag 'v6.6-vfs.fs_context' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: add FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL fs: add vfs_cmd_reconfigure() fs: add vfs_cmd_create() super: remove get_tree_single_reconf()
