[ Upstream commit 2e41f274f9aa71cdcc69dc1f26a3f9304a651804 ]

Patch series "fix error when writing negative value to simple attribute
files".

The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit
488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
simple_attr_write()"), but some attribute files want to accept a negative
value.

This patch (of 3):

The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit
488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
simple_attr_write()"), so we have to use a 64-bit value to write a
negative value.

This adds DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for a signed value.

[ Upstream commit 488dac0c9237647e9b8f788b6a342595bfa40bda ]

The attr-&gt;set() receive a value of u64, but simple_strtoll() is used for
doing the conversion.  It will lead to the error cast if user inputs a
negative value.

Use kstrtoull() instead of simple_strtoll() to convert a string got from
the user to an unsigned value.  The former will return '-EINVAL' if it
gets a negetive value, but the latter can't handle the situation
correctly.  Make 'val' unsigned long long as what kstrtoull() takes,
this will eliminate the compile warning on no 64-bit architectures.

<id>urn:sha1:bf204158a8a66fe8bd1da65d23906b87d26bfccf</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a65cab7d7f05c2061a3e2490257d3086ff3202c6 upstream.

Reading from a debugfs file at a nonzero position, without first reading
at position 0, leaks uninitialized memory to userspace.

It's a bit tricky to do this, since lseek() and pread() aren't allowed
on these files, and write() doesn't update the position on them.  But
writing to them with splice() *does* update the position:

	#define _GNU_SOURCE 1
	#include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
	#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
	int main()
	{
		int pipes[2], fd, n, i;
		char buf[32];

		pipe(pipes);
		write(pipes[1], "0", 1);
		fd = open("/sys/kernel/debug/fault_around_bytes", O_RDWR);
		splice(pipes[0], NULL, fd, NULL, 1, 0);
		n = read(fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
		for (i = 0; i &lt; n; i++)
			printf("%02x", buf[i]);
		printf("\n");
	}

Output:
	5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a30

Fix the infoleak by making simple_attr_read() always fill
simple_attr::get_buf if it hasn't been filled yet.

<title>Fix the locking in dcache_readdir() and friends</title>

<id>urn:sha1:664ec2db3b1f1a1c370fda03c2df053be5c215b6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d4f4de5e5ef8efde85febb6876cd3c8ab1631999 upstream.

There are two problems in dcache_readdir() - one is that lockless traversal
of the list needs non-trivial cooperation of d_alloc() (at least a switch
to list_add_rcu(), and probably more than just that) and another is that
it assumes that no removal will happen without the directory locked exclusive.
Said assumption had always been there, never had been stated explicitly and
is violated by several places in the kernel (devpts and selinuxfs).

        * replacement of next_positive() with different calling conventions:
it returns struct list_head * instead of struct dentry *; the latter is
passed in and out by reference, grabbing the result and dropping the original
value.
        * scan is under -&gt;d_lock.  If we run out of timeslice, cursor is moved
after the last position we'd reached and we reschedule; then the scan continues
from that place.  To avoid livelocks between multiple lseek() (with cursors
getting moved past each other, never reaching the real entries) we always
skip the cursors, need_resched() or not.
        * returned list_head * is either -&gt;d_child of dentry we'd found or
-&gt;d_subdirs of parent (if we got to the end of the list).
        * dcache_readdir() and dcache_dir_lseek() switched to new helper.
dcache_readdir() always holds a reference to dentry passed to dir_emit() now.
Cursor is moved to just before the entry where dir_emit() has failed or into
the very end of the list, if we'd run out.
        * move_cursor() eliminated - it had sucky calling conventions and
after fixing that it became simply list_move() (in lseek and scan_positives)
or list_move_tail() (in readdir).

        All operations with the list are under -&gt;d_lock now, and we do not
depend upon having all file removals done with parent locked exclusive
anymore.

In preparation for the dax implementation to start associating dax pages
to inodes via page-&gt;mapping, we need to provide a 'struct
address_space_operations' instance for dax. Define some generic VFS aops
helpers for dax. These noop implementations are there in the dax case to
prevent the VFS from falling back to operations with page-cache
assumptions, dax_writeback_mapping_range() may not be referenced in the
FS_DAX=n case.

<title>Rename superblock flags (MS_xyz -&gt; SB_xyz)</title>

This is a pure automated search-and-replace of the internal kernel
superblock flags.

The s_flags are now called SB_*, with the names and the values for the
moment mirroring the MS_* flags that they're equivalent to.

Note how the MS_xyz flags are the ones passed to the mount system call,
while the SB_xyz flags are what we then use in sb-&gt;s_flags.

The script to do this was:

    # places to look in; re security/*: it generally should *not* be
    # touched (that stuff parses mount(2) arguments directly), but
    # there are two places where we really deal with superblock flags.
    FILES="drivers/mtd drivers/staging/lustre fs ipc mm \
            include/linux/fs.h include/uapi/linux/bfs_fs.h \
            security/apparmor/apparmorfs.c security/apparmor/include/lib.h"
    # the list of MS_... constants
    SYMS="RDONLY NOSUID NODEV NOEXEC SYNCHRONOUS REMOUNT MANDLOCK \

    SED_PROG=
    for i in $SYMS; do SED_PROG="$SED_PROG -e s/MS_$i/SB_$i/g"; done

    # we want files that contain at least one of MS_...,
    # with fs/namespace.c and fs/pnode.c excluded.
    L=$(for i in $SYMS; do git grep -w -l MS_$i $FILES; done| sort|uniq|grep -v '^fs/namespace.c'|grep -v '^fs/pnode.c')

    for f in $L; do sed -i $f $SED_PROG; done

<content type='text'>
Many simple, block-based filesystems use generic_file_fsync as their
fsync operation. Some others (ext* and fat) also call this function
to handle syncing out data.

Switch this code over to use errseq_t based error reporting so that
all of these filesystems get reliable error reporting via fsync,
fdatasync and msync.

<title>fs: check for writeback errors after syncing out buffers in generic_file_fsync</title>

<content type='text'>
ext2 currently does a test+clear of the AS_EIO flag, which is
is problematic for some coming changes.

What we really need to do instead is call filemap_check_errors
in __generic_file_fsync after syncing out the buffers. That
will be sufficient for this case, and help other callers detect
these errors properly as well.

With that, we don't need to twiddle it in ext2.

simple_fill_super() is passed an array of tree_descr structures which
describe the files to create in the filesystem's root directory.  Since
these arrays are never modified intentionally, they should be 'const' so
that they are placed in .rodata and benefit from memory protection.
This patch updates the function signature and all users, and also
constifies tree_descr.name.

Pull vfs 'statx()' update from Al Viro.

This adds the new extended stat() interface that internally subsumes our
previous stat interfaces, and allows user mode to specify in more detail
what kind of information it wants.

It also allows for some explicit synchronization information to be
passed to the filesystem, which can be relevant for network filesystems:
is the cached value ok, or do you need open/close consistency, or what?

From David Howells.

Andreas Dilger points out that the first version of the extended statx
interface was posted June 29, 2010:
