commit c541dce86c537714b6761a79a969c1623dfa222b upstream.

The reconfigure / remount code takes a lot of effort to protect
filesystem's reconfiguration code from racing writes on remounting
read-only. However during remounting read-only filesystem to read-write
mode userspace writes can start immediately once we clear SB_RDONLY
flag. This is inconvenient for example for ext4 because we need to do
some writes to the filesystem (such as preparation of quota files)
before we can take userspace writes so we are clearing SB_RDONLY flag
before we are fully ready to accept userpace writes and syzbot has found
a way to exploit this [1]. Also as far as I'm reading the code
the filesystem remount code was protected from racing writes in the
legacy mount path by the mount's MNT_READONLY flag so this is relatively
new problem. It is actually fairly easy to protect remount read-write
from racing writes using sb-&gt;s_readonly_remount flag so let's just do
that instead of having to workaround these races in the filesystem code.

Patch series "revert shrinker_srcu related changes".


This patch (of 7):

This reverts commit cf2e309ebca7bb0916771839f9b580b06c778530.

Kernel test robot reports -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec
test case [1], which is caused by commit f95bdb700bc6 ("mm: vmscan: make
global slab shrink lockless").  The root cause is that SRCU has to be
careful to not frequently check for SRCU read-side critical section exits.
Therefore, even if no one is currently in the SRCU read-side critical
section, synchronize_srcu() cannot return quickly.  That's why
unregister_shrinker() has become slower.

After discussion, we will try to use the refcount+RCU method [2] proposed
by Dave Chinner to continue to re-implement the lockless slab shrink.  So
revert the shrinker_mutex back to shrinker_rwsem first.

Now there are no readers of shrinker_rwsem, so we can simply replace it
with mutex lock.

<title>fscrypt: destroy keyring after security_sb_delete()</title>

fscrypt_destroy_keyring() must be called after all potentially-encrypted
inodes were evicted; otherwise it cannot safely destroy the keyring.
Since inodes that are in-use by the Landlock LSM don't get evicted until
security_sb_delete(), this means that fscrypt_destroy_keyring() must be
called *after* security_sb_delete().

This fixes a WARN_ON followed by a NULL dereference, only possible if
Landlock was being used on encrypted files.

Fixes: d7e7b9af104c ("fscrypt: stop using keyrings subsystem for fscrypt_master_key")

<content type='text'>
Now that the key associated with the "test_dummy_operation" mount option
is added on-demand when it's needed, rather than immediately when the
filesystem is mounted, fscrypt_destroy_keyring() no longer needs to be
called from __put_super() to avoid a memory leak on mount failure.

Remove this call, which was causing confusion because it appeared to be
a sleep-in-atomic bug (though it wasn't, for a somewhat-subtle reason).

<title>fs: Use CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() when kernel bugs are detected</title>

<id>urn:sha1:47d586913f2abec4d240bae33417f537fda987ec</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, filp_close() and generic_shutdown_super() use printk() to log
messages when bugs are detected. This is problematic because infrastructure
like syzkaller has no idea that this message indicates a bug.
In addition, some people explicitly want their kernels to BUG() when kernel
data corruption has been detected (CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION).
And finally, when generic_shutdown_super() detects remaining inodes on a
system without CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION, it would be nice if later
accesses to a busy inode would at least crash somewhat cleanly rather than
walking through freed memory.

To address all three, use CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() when kernel bugs are
detected.

sb_init_dio_done_wq is also used by the iomap code, so move it to
super.c in preparation for building direct-io.c conditionally.
