[ Upstream commit d6da19c9cace63290ccfccb1fc35151ffefc0bec ]

Thread A trying to acquire a write lease checks the value of i_readcount
and i_writecount in check_conflicting_open() to verify that its own fd
is the only fd referencing the file.

Thread B trying to open the file for read will call break_lease() in
do_dentry_open() before incrementing i_readcount, which leaves a small
window where thread A can acquire the write lease and then thread B
completes the open of the file for read without breaking the write lease
that was acquired by thread A.

Fix this race by incrementing i_readcount before checking for existing
leases, same as the case with i_writecount.

Use a helper put_file_access() to decrement i_readcount or i_writecount
in do_dentry_open() and __fput().

Fixes: 387e3746d01c ("locks: eliminate false positive conflicts for write lease")

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
 "We introduce 'courteous server' in this release. Previously NFSD would
  purge open and lock state for an unresponsive client after one lease
  period (typically 90 seconds). Now, after one lease period, another
  client can open and lock those files and the unresponsive client's
  lease is purged; otherwise if the unresponsive client's open and lock
  state is uncontended, the server retains that open and lock state for
  up to 24 hours, allowing the client's workload to resume after a
  lengthy network partition.

  A longstanding issue with NFSv4 file creation is also addressed.
  Previously a file creation can fail internally, returning an error to
  the client, but leave the newly created file in place as an artifact.
  The file creation code path has been reorganized so that internal
  failures and race conditions are less likely to result in an unwanted
  file creation.

  A fault injector has been added to help exercise paths that are run
  during kernel metadata cache invalidation. These caches contain
  information maintained by user space about exported filesystems. Many
  of our test workloads do not trigger cache invalidation.

  There is one patch that is needed to support PREEMPT_RT and a fix for
  an ancient 'sleep while spin-locked' splat that seems to have become
  easier to hit since v5.18-rc3"

<content type='text'>
There have been reports of races that cause NFSv4 OPEN(CREATE) to
return an error even though the requested file was created. NFSv4
does not provide a status code for this case.

To mitigate some of these problems, reorganize the NFSv4
OPEN(CREATE) logic to allocate resources before the file is actually
created, and open the new file while the parent directory is still
locked.

Two new APIs are added:

+ Add an API that works like nfsd_file_acquire() but does not open
the underlying file. The OPEN(CREATE) path can use this API when it
already has an open file.

+ Add an API that is kin to dentry_open(). NFSD needs to create a
file and grab an open "struct file *" atomically. The
alloc_empty_file() has to be done before the inode create. If it
fails (for example, because the NFS server has exceeded its
max_files limit), we avoid creating the file and can still return
an error to the NFS client.

<id>urn:sha1:a2ad63daa88b9d6846976fd2a0b5e4f5cfc58377</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently various places test if direct IO is possible on a file by
checking for the existence of the direct_IO address space operation.
This is a poor choice, as the direct_IO operation may not be used - it is
only used if the generic_file_*_iter functions are called for direct IO
and some filesystems - particularly NFS - don't do this.

Instead, introduce a new f_mode flag: FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT and change the
various places to check this (avoiding pointer dereferences).
do_dentry_open() will set this flag if -&gt;direct_IO is present, so
filesystems do not need to be changed.

NFS *is* changed, to set the flag explicitly and discard the direct_IO
entry in the address_space_operations for files.

Other filesystems which currently use noop_direct_IO could usefully be
changed to set this flag instead.

The value is now completely unused except for reporting it back through
the F_GET_FILE_RW_HINT ioctl, so remove the value and the two ioctls
for it.

Trying to use the F_SET_FILE_RW_HINT and F_GET_FILE_RW_HINT fcntls will
now return EINVAL, just like it would on a kernel that never supported
this functionality in the first place.

<title>fs: support mapped mounts of mapped filesystems</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bd303368b776eead1c29e6cdda82bde7128b82a7</id>
<content type='text'>
In previous patches we added new and modified existing helpers to handle
idmapped mounts of filesystems mounted with an idmapping. In this final
patch we convert all relevant places in the vfs to actually pass the
filesystem's idmapping into these helpers.

With this the vfs is in shape to handle idmapped mounts of filesystems
mounted with an idmapping. Note that this is just the generic
infrastructure. Actually adding support for idmapped mounts to a
filesystem mountable with an idmapping is follow-up work.

In this patch we extend the definition of an idmapped mount from a mount
that that has the initial idmapping attached to it to a mount that has
an idmapping attached to it which is not the same as the idmapping the
filesystem was mounted with.

As before we do not allow the initial idmapping to be attached to a
mount. In addition this patch prevents that the idmapping the filesystem
was mounted with can be attached to a mount created based on this
filesystem.

This has multiple reasons and advantages. First, attaching the initial
idmapping or the filesystem's idmapping doesn't make much sense as in
both cases the values of the i_{g,u}id and other places where k{g,u}ids
are used do not change. Second, a user that really wants to do this for
whatever reason can just create a separate dedicated identical idmapping
to attach to the mount. Third, we can continue to use the initial
idmapping as an indicator that a mount is not idmapped allowing us to
continue to keep passing the initial idmapping into the mapping helpers
to tell them that something isn't an idmapped mount even if the
filesystem is mounted with an idmapping.

In a few places the vfs needs to interact with bare k{g,u}ids directly
instead of struct inode. These are just a few. In previous patches we
introduced low-level mapping helpers that are able to support
filesystems mounted an idmapping. This patch simply converts the places
to use these new helpers.

The low-level mapping helpers were so far crammed into fs.h. They are
out of place there. The fs.h header should just contain the higher-level
mapping helpers that interact directly with vfs objects such as struct
super_block or struct inode and not the bare mapping helpers. Similarly,
only vfs and specific fs code shall interact with low-level mapping
helpers. And so they won't be made accessible automatically through
regular {g,u}id helpers.
