2026-08-03FAT: allow 0xE9 near jump in fat_read_static_bpb()Ziran Zhang
fat_read_static_bpb() only accepts a short jump as a valid bootstrap code signature for DOS 1.x volumes when the dos1xfloppy mount option is used. However, according to the Microsoft fatgen103.doc, the BS_jmpBoot field has two allowed forms: 0xEB 0x?? 0x90 (short jump + NOP) and 0xE9 0x?? 0x?? (near jump). The specification explicitly states that either form is acceptable. This patch relaxes the check to also accept 0xE9 as the first byte of the jump instruction.

2026-07-27fat: Fix persisting directory entries on fsync(2) of the root directoryChristian Brauner
Buffers containing the directory entries of a directory's children are tracked in the directory inode's metadata bh list. Before commit 525da4f40a7c ("fat: Fix missed inode writeback during fsync(2)") fsync(2) of a directory wrote that list out unconditionally via mmb_fsync_noflush(). Now the list is written by fat_sync_inode_metadata() which __writeback_single_inode() only invokes when the inode has I_METADATA_WRITEBACK set. The root inode never gets I_METADATA_WRITEBACK - __fat_write_inode() returns early for it since the root directory has no directory entry of its own - and fat_sync_inode_metadata() returns early for it as well. Hence fsync(2) on the root directory returns success without writing out the directory entries of its children. Set I_METADATA_WRITEBACK for the root inode in __fat_write_inode() and make fat_sync_inode_metadata() only skip the nonexistent directory entry for the root inode but still sync the metadata bh list.

Before commit 525da4f40a7c ("fat: Fix missed inode writeback during fsync(2)") a write error was propagated to fsync(2) via __fat_write_inode() -> sync_dirty_buffer(), now fsync(2) reports success even though the inode's directory entry could not be written. Check buffer_write_io_error() after sync_dirty_buffer() like the other ->sync_inode_metadata implementations do.

2026-07-27fat: Fix lost inode update in do_msdos_rename() with DIRSYNCChristian Brauner
Commit e668e0668181 ("fat: Replace fat_sync_inode() with sync_inode_metadata()") hoisted mark_inode_dirty() in front of the IS_DIRSYNC conditional in all converted callers except for the main rename path of do_msdos_rename(). There old_inode is generally still clean when the target directory has DIRSYNC set and, unlike fat_sync_inode(), sync_inode_metadata() does nothing for a clean inode. Thus the directory entry at the new location is never updated with the contents of old_inode: it stays the way msdos_add_entry() created it, with start cluster 0 and size 0 (or, when the rename replaced an existing target, it keeps describing the deleted target). Since old_inode is also never marked dirty, later writeback doesn't update the entry either and the stale directory entry ends up on disk even on a clean unmount, so the renamed file loses its contents. Mark old_inode dirty before calling sync_inode_metadata() like all the other call sites do.

Use generic sync_inode_metadata() instead of fat_sync_inode() for persisting inode metadata changes for DIRSYNC inodes.

2026-07-27fat: Fix missed inode writeback during fsync(2)Jan Kara
FAT could fail to properly write out inode on fsync(2) due to races with WB_SYNC_NONE writeback. Several racing fsyncs could also result in some fsync returning earlier than all metadata buffers were properly persisted. Fix these issues by using new .sync_inode_metadata method which makes sure all inode related metadata is written to disk during any WB_SYNC_ALL writeback. The slight disadvantage of this approach is that when fsync(2) of an inode races with rename(2) of the inode, the window during which inode isn't properly persisted becomes wider.

2026-07-01fat: stop reading directory entries past the end-of-directory markerMatteo Croce
The FAT specification[1] (FAT Directory Structure -> "DIR_Name[0]") states: If DIR_Name[0] == 0x00, then the directory entry is free (same as for 0xE5), and there are no allocated directory entries after this one (all of the DIR_Name[0] bytes in all of the entries after this one are also set to 0). The special 0 value, rather than the 0xE5 value, indicates to FAT file system driver code that the rest of the entries in this directory do not need to be examined because they are all free. Linux did not honour this. fat_get_entry() kept advancing past the 0x00 terminator; if the trailing on-disk slots were not zero-filled (buggy formatters, read-only media written by other operating systems, on-disk corruption) the driver surfaced arbitrary bytes as real directory entries. On a typical affected image, `ls /mnt` returns ~150 bogus entries with random binary names, multi-gigabyte sizes, dates ranging from 1980 to 2106, and a flood of -EIO from stat(). Earlier attempts (v1..v3, see [2][3][4]) added `de->name[0] == 0` guards at each call site. As Hirofumi pointed out on v3, those guards reject the entry but fat_get_entry() has already advanced *pos past it; the next readdir() resumes after the marker and walks straight back into the garbage. His suggestion was to centralise the check. This patch: * Adds fat_get_entry_eod(), a small wrapper around fat_get_entry() that returns -1 when name[0] == 0 and seeks *pos to dir->i_size. Per spec every slot after the 0x00 marker is also zero, so jumping to the end of the directory is correct: subsequent reads return -1 from fat_bmap() without re-fetching trailing zero slots, and callers persisting *pos across invocations (notably readdir's ctx->pos) keep reporting end-of-directory on re-entry. * Converts the read/search paths to use the new wrapper: fat_parse_long(), fat_search_long(), __fat_readdir(), and fat_get_short_entry() -- the last covers fat_get_dotdot_entry(), fat_dir_empty(), fat_subdirs(), fat_scan(), and fat_scan_logstart() transitively. * Leaves fat_add_entries() and __fat_remove_entries() on raw fat_get_entry(): the write paths legitimately need to operate on free/zero slots. fat_add_entries() additionally detects an allocated entry past a 0x00 marker (the spec violation that produces the garbage) and treats it as filesystem corruption: fat_fs_error_ratelimit() is called -- which honours the configured errors= mount option (panic / remount-ro / continue) -- and the operation returns -EIO so we don't write fresh entries into an already-corrupt directory.

2026-06-30fat: reject name longer than NAME_MAX in msdos_format_name()Zizhi Wo
msdos_format_name() performs no upper-bound check on the input name length. It silently truncates an arbitrarily long name into the 8.3 form (11 bytes) and returns success. The subsequent fat_scan() then matches only against these 11 truncated bytes, so it returns an inode as long as any entry with the same 8.3 name exists on disk. For example, passing a 300-byte name of all 'A's returns 0 with res set to "AAAAAAAA" (8 'A's + 3 padding spaces), reporting success for a name far longer than NAME_MAX. As a result, when a user calls open() on a path component longer than NAME_MAX (255) bytes, the VFS only enforces PATH_MAX, not the length of an individual component. The dentry keeps the original long name but gets an inode attached and becomes positive. Later in vfs_open() -> fsnotify_open() -> fanotify_info_copy_name() triggers WARN_ON_ONCE(), and the event is reported to userspace with an empty name. vfat is not affected, as create goes through xlate_to_uni() which refuses names longer than FAT_LFN_LEN. Fix this by checking 'len > NAME_MAX' at the entry of msdos_format_name(), the single entry point for all msdos name handling, aligning with the NAME_MAX check that xfs/9p/ceph/simple_lookup() perform at lookup.

2026-06-17fat: reject BPB volumes whose data area starts beyond total sectorsSamuel Moelius
fat_fill_super() subtracts sbi->data_start from the BPB total sector count before computing the number of clusters. A malformed image can declare a total sector count smaller than data_start, causing the subtraction to underflow and the mount code to derive a plausible cluster count from the FAT length instead. Reject such images before the subtraction. In QEMU, a crafted FAT image with total_sectors=2 and data_start=3 mounted successfully before the fix and reading a file returned bytes stored past the BPB-declared end of the volume. With this change, the same image is rejected during mount.

2026-05-11fat: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivityChuck Lever
Report FAT's case sensitivity behavior via the FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD and FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING flags. FAT filesystems are case-insensitive by default. MSDOS supports a 'nocase' mount option that enables case-sensitive behavior; check this option when reporting case sensitivity. VFAT long filename entries preserve case; without VFAT, only uppercased 8.3 short names are stored. MSDOS with 'nocase' also preserves case since the name-formatting code skips upcasing when 'nocase' is set. Check both options when reporting case preservation.

2026-03-26fat: fix stack frame size warnings in KUnit testsChristian Brauner
The kernel test robot reported that on hexagon with clang, several test functions in fat_test.c exceed the 1280-byte stack frame limit. The root cause is the compound literal assignment in fat_test_set_time_offset(): *sbi = (struct msdos_sb_info){}; struct msdos_sb_info contains two hash tables of 256 hlist_head entries (FAT_HASH_SIZE), making it several kilobytes. The compound literal creates a temporary on the stack, and when clang inlines fat_test_set_time_offset() into each test function, the large temporary inflates every caller's stack frame beyond the limit. Replace the compound literal with memset() which zeroes the struct in-place without a stack temporary.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

2026-01-26fat: avoid parent link count underflow in rmdirZhiyu Zhang
Corrupted FAT images can leave a directory inode with an incorrect i_nlink (e.g. 2 even though subdirectories exist). rmdir then unconditionally calls drop_nlink(dir) and can drive i_nlink to 0, triggering the WARN_ON in drop_nlink().

The whole update_time path keeps the flags argument, which will be used to support non-blocking updates soon even if it is unused, and (the slightly renamed) inode_update_time also gains the possibility to return a negative errno to support this.

min_t(unsigned int, a, b) casts an 'unsigned long' to 'unsigned int'. Use min(a, b) instead as it promotes any 'unsigned int' to 'unsigned long' and so cannot discard significant bits. A couple of places need umin() because of loops like: nfolios = DIV_ROUND_UP(ret + start, PAGE_SIZE); for (i = 0; i < nfolios; i++) { struct folio *folio = page_folio(pages[i]); ... unsigned int len = umin(ret, PAGE_SIZE - start); ... ret -= len; ... } where the compiler doesn't track things well enough to know that 'ret' is never negative. The alternate loop: for (i = 0; ret > 0; i++) { struct folio *folio = page_folio(pages[i]); ... unsigned int len = min(ret, PAGE_SIZE - start); ... ret -= len; ... } would be equivalent and doesn't need 'nfolios'. Most of the 'unsigned long' actually come from PAGE_SIZE. Detected by an extra check added to min_t().

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull mmap_prepare updates from Christian Brauner: "Last cycle we introduce f_op->mmap_prepare() in c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback"). This is preferred to the existing f_op->mmap() hook as it does require a VMA to be established yet, thus allowing the mmap logic to invoke this hook far, far earlier, prior to inserting a VMA into the virtual address space, or performing any other heavy handed operations. This allows for much simpler unwinding on error, and for there to be a single attempt at merging a VMA rather than having to possibly reattempt a merge based on potentially altered VMA state. Far more importantly, it prevents inappropriate manipulation of incompletely initialised VMA state, which is something that has been the cause of bugs and complexity in the past. The intent is to gradually deprecate f_op->mmap, and in that vein this series coverts the majority of file systems to using f_op->mmap_prepare. Prerequisite steps are taken - firstly ensuring all checks for mmap capabilities use the file_has_valid_mmap_hooks() helper rather than directly checking for f_op->mmap (which is now not a valid check) and secondly updating daxdev_mapping_supported() to not require a VMA parameter to allow ext4 and xfs to be converted. Commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for nested file systems") handles the nasty edge-case of nested file systems like overlayfs, which introduces a compatibility shim to allow f_op->mmap_prepare() to be invoked from an f_op->mmap() callback. This allows for nested filesystems to continue to function correctly with all file systems regardless of which callback is used. Once we finally convert all file systems, this shim can be removed. As a result, ecryptfs, fuse, and overlayfs remain unaltered so they can nest all other file systems. We additionally do not update resctl - as this requires an update to remap_pfn_range() (or an alternative to it) which we defer to a later series, equally we do not update cramfs which needs a mixed mapping insertion with the same issue, nor do we update procfs, hugetlbfs, syfs or kernfs all of which require VMAs for internal state and hooks.

Features: - Add ext4 IOCB_DONTCACHE support This refactors the address_space_operations write_begin() and write_end() callbacks to take const struct kiocb * as their first argument, allowing IOCB flags such as IOCB_DONTCACHE to propagate to the filesystem's buffered I/O path. Ext4 is updated to implement handling of the IOCB_DONTCACHE flag and advertises support via the FOP_DONTCACHE file operation flag. Additionally, the i915 driver's shmem write paths are updated to bypass the legacy write_begin/write_end interface in favor of directly calling write_iter() with a constructed synchronous kiocb. Another i915 change replaces a manual write loop with kernel_write() during GEM shmem object creation.
