 ==================================================================

On further analysis, I realized that the second parameter to min() is
not correct.  xfs_ifork::if_bytes is the size of the xfs_ifork::if_data
buffer.  if_bytes can be smaller than the data fork size because:

(a) the forkoff code tries to keep the data area as large as possible
(b) for symbolic links, if_bytes is the ondisk file size + 1
(c) forkoff is always a multiple of 8.

Case in point: for a single-byte symlink target, forkoff will be
8 but the buffer will only be 2 bytes long.

In other words, the logic here is wrong and we walk off the end of the
incore buffer.  Fix that.

The changes modernizes the code by aligning it with current kernel best
practices. It improves code clarity and consistency, as strncpy is deprecated
as explained in Documentation/process/deprecated.rst. This change does
not alter the functionality or introduce any behavioral changes.

<title>xfs: fix various problems in xfs_atomic_write_cow_iomap_begin</title>

<id>urn:sha1:77a1fb9d17afd7612043643b98dfd947958e99c8</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8d7bba1e8314013ecc817a91624104ceb9352ddc upstream.

I think there are several things wrong with this function:

A) xfs_bmapi_write can return a much larger unwritten mapping than what
   the caller asked for.  We convert part of that range to written, but
   return the entire written mapping to iomap even though that's
   inaccurate.

B) The arguments to xfs_reflink_convert_cow_locked are wrong -- an
   unwritten mapping could be *smaller* than the write range (or even
   the hole range).  In this case, we convert too much file range to
   written state because we then return a smaller mapping to iomap.

C) It doesn't handle delalloc mappings.  This I covered in the patch
   that I already sent to the list.

D) Reassigning count_fsb to handle the hole means that if the second
   cmap lookup attempt succeeds (due to racing with someone else) we
   trim the mapping more than is strictly necessary.  The changing
   meaning of count_fsb makes this harder to notice.

E) The tracepoint is kinda wrong because @length is mutated.  That makes
   it harder to chase the data flows through this function because you
   can't just grep on the pos/bytecount strings.

F) We don't actually check that the br_state = XFS_EXT_NORM assignment
   is accurate, i.e that the cow fork actually contains a written
   mapping for the range we're interested in

G) Somewhat inadequate documentation of why we need to xfs_trim_extent
   so aggressively in this function.

H) Not sure why xfs_iomap_end_fsb is used here, the vfs already clamped
   the write range to s_maxbytes.

Fix these issues, and then the atomic writes regressions in generic/760,
generic/617, generic/091, generic/263, and generic/521 all go away for
me.

commit 8d54eacd82a0623a963e0c150ad3b02970638b0d upstream.

With the 20 Oct 2025 release of fstests, generic/521 fails for me on
regular (aka non-block-atomic-writes) storage:

with a warning in dmesg from iomap about XFS trying to give it a
delalloc mapping for a directio write.  Fix the software atomic write
iomap_begin code to convert the reservation into a written mapping.
This doesn't fix the data corruption problems reported by generic/760,
but it's a start.

[ Upstream commit 630785bfbe12c3ee3ebccd8b530a98d632b7e39d ]

The deprecation of the 'attr2' mount option in 6.18 wasn't entirely
successful because nobody noticed that the kernel never printed a
warning about attr2 being set in fstab if the only xfs filesystem is the
root fs; the initramfs mounts the root fs with no mount options; and the
init scripts only conveyed the fstab options by remounting the root fs.

Fix this by making it complain all the time.

<content type='text'>
commit f477af0cfa0487eddec66ffe10fd9df628ba6f52 upstream.

On a filesystem with parent pointers, xchk_nlinks_collect_dir walks both
the directory entries (data fork) and the parent pointers (attr fork) to
determine the correct link count.  Unfortunately I forgot to update the
lock mode logic to handle the case of a directory whose attr fork is in
btree format and has not yet been loaded *and* whose data fork doesn't
need loading.

This leads to a bunch of assertions from xfs/286 in xfs_iread_extents
because we only took ILOCK_SHARED, not ILOCK_EXCL.  You'd need the rare
happenstance of a directory with a large number of non-pptr extended
attributes set and enough memory pressure to cause the directory to be
evicted and partially reloaded from disk.

I /think/ this only started in 6.18-rc1 because I've started seeing OOM
errors with the maple tree slab using 70% of memory, and this didn't
happen in 6.17.  Yay dynamic systems!

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit e747883c7d7306acb4d683038d881528fbfbe749 ]

When mounting file systems with a log that was dirtied on i386 on
other architectures or vice versa, log recovery is unhappy:

[   11.068052] XFS (vdb): Torn write (CRC failure) detected at log block 0x2. Truncating head block from 0xc.

This is because the CRCs generated by i386 and other architectures
always diff.  The reason for that is that sizeof(struct xlog_rec_header)
returns different values for i386 vs the rest (324 vs 328), because the
struct is not sizeof(uint64_t) aligned, and i386 has odd struct size
alignment rules.

This issue goes back to commit 13cdc853c519 ("Add log versioning, and new
super block field for the log stripe") in the xfs-import tree, which
adds log v2 support and the h_size field that causes the unaligned size.
At that time it only mattered for the crude debug only log header
checksum, but with commit 0e446be44806 ("xfs: add CRC checks to the log")
it became a real issue for v5 file system, because now there is a proper
CRC, and regular builds actually expect it match.

Fix this by allowing checksums with and without the padding.
