Pull bcachefs updates from Kent Overstreet: "Lots of scalability work, another big on-disk format change. On-disk format version goes from 1.13 to 1.20. Like 6.11, this is another big and expensive automatic/required on disk format upgrade. This is planned to be the last big on disk format upgrade before the experimental label comes off. There will be one more minor on disk format update for a few things that couldn't make this release. Headline improvements: - Self healing work: Allocator and reflink now run the exact same check/repair code that fsck does at runtime, where applicable. The long term goal here is to remove inconsistent() errors (that cause us to go emergency read only) by lifting fsck code up to normal runtime paths; we should only go emergency read-only if we detect an inconsistency that was due to a runtime bug - or truly catastrophic damage (corrupted btree roots/interior nodes). - Reflink repair no longer deletes reflink pointers: Instead we flip an error bit and log the error, and they can still be deleted by file deletion. This means a temporary failure to find an indirect extent (perhaps repaired later by btree node scan) won't result in unnecessary data loss - Improvements to rebalance data path option handling: We can now correctly apply changed filesystem-level io path options to pending rebalance work, and soon we'll be able to apply file-level io path option changes to indirect extents - Fix mount time regression that some users encountered post the 6.11 disk accounting rewrite. Accounting keys were encoded little endian (typetag in the low bits) - which didn't anticipate adding accounting keys for every inode, which aren't stored in memory and we don't want to scan at mount time. - fsck time on large filesystems is improved by multiple orders of magnitude. Previously, 100TB was about the practical max filesystem size, where users were reporting fsck times of a day+. With the new changes (which nearly eliminate backpointers fsck overhead), we fsck'd a filesystem with 10PB of data in 1.5 hours. The problematic fsck passes were walking every extent and checking for missing backpointers, and walking every backpointer to check for dangling backpointers. As we've been adding more and more runtime self healing there was no reason to keep around the backpointers -> extents pass; dangling backpointers are just deleted, and we can do that when using them - thus, backpointers -> extents is now only run in debug mode. extents -> backpointers does need to exist, since missing backpointers would mean we can't find data to move it (for e.g. copygc, device evacuate, scrub). But the new on disk format version makes possible a new strategy where we sum up backpointers within a bucket and check it against the bucket sector counts, and then only scan for missing backpointers if the counts are off (and then, only for specific buckets). Full list of on disk format changes: - 1.14: backpointer_bucket_gen Backpointers now have a field for the bucket generation number, replacing the obsolete bucket_offset field. This is needed for the new "sum up backpointers within a bucket" code, since backpointers use the btree write buffer - meaning we will see stale reads, and this runs online, with the filesystem in full rw mode. - 1.15: disk_accounting_big_endian As previously described, fix the endianness of accounting keys so that accounting keys with the same typetag sort together, and accounting read can skip types it's not interested in. - 1.16: reflink_p_may_update_opts: This version indicates that a new reflink pointer field is understood and may be used; the field indicates whether the reflink pointer has permissions to update IO path options (e.g. compression, replicas) may be updated on the indirect extent it points to. This completes the rebalance/reflink data path option handling from the 6.13 pull request. - 1.17: inode_depth Add a new inode field, bi_depth, to accelerate the check_directory_structure fsck path, which checks for loops in the filesystem heirarchy. check_inodes and check_dirents check connectivity, so check_directory_structure only has to check for loops - by walking back up to the root from every directory. But a path can't be a loop if it has a counter that increases monotonically from root to leaf - adding a depth counter means that we can check for loops with only local (parent -> child) checks. We might need to occasionally renumber the depth field in fsck if directories have been moved around, but then future fsck runs will be much faster. - 1.18: persistent_inode_cursors Previously, the cursor used for inode allocation was only kept in memory, which meant that users with large filesystems and lots of files were reporting that the first create after mounting would take awhile - since it had to scan from the start. Inode allocation cursors are now persistent, and also include a generation field (incremented on wraparound, which will only happen if inode allocation is restricted to 32 bit inodes), so that we don't have to leave inode_generation keys around after a delete. The option for 32 bit inode numbers may now also be set on individual directories, and non-32 bit inode allocations are disallowed from allocating from the 32 bit part of the inode number space. - 1.19: autofix_errors Runtime self healing is now the default.o - 1.20: directory size (from Hongbo) directory i_size is now meaningful, and not 0" * tag 'bcachefs-2025-01-20.2' of git://evilpiepirate.org/bcachefs: (268 commits) bcachefs: Fix check_inode_hash_info_matches_root() bcachefs: Document issue with bch_stripe layout bcachefs: Fix self healing on read error bcachefs: Pop all the transactions from the abort one bcachefs: Only abort the transactions in the cycle bcachefs: Introduce lock_graph_pop_from bcachefs: Convert open-coded lock_graph_pop_all to helper bcachefs: Do not allow no fail lock request to fail bcachefs: Merge the condition to avoid additional invocation Revert "bcachefs: Fix bch2_btree_node_upgrade()" bcachefs: bcachefs_metadata_version_directory_size bcachefs: make directory i_size meaningful bcachefs: check_unreachable_inodes is not actually PASS_ONLINE yet bcachefs: Don't use BTREE_ITER_cached when walking alloc btree during fsck bcachefs: Check for dirents to overwritten inodes bcachefs: bch2_btree_iter_peek_slot() handles navigating to nonexistent depth bcachefs: Don't set btree_path to updtodate if we don't fill bcachefs: __bch2_btree_pos_to_text() bcachefs: printbuf_reset() handles tabstops bcachefs: Silence read-only errors when deleting snapshots ...

Pull vfs libfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This improves the stable directory offset behavior in various ways. Stable offsets are needed so that NFS can reliably read directories on filesystems such as tmpfs: - Improve the end-of-directory detection According to getdents(3), the d_off field in each returned directory entry points to the next entry in the directory. The d_off field in the last returned entry in the readdir buffer must contain a valid offset value, but if it points to an actual directory entry, then readdir/getdents can loop. Introduce a specific fixed offset value that is placed in the d_off field of the last entry in a directory. Some user space applications assume that the EOD offset value is larger than the offsets of real directory entries, so the largest valid offset value is reserved for this purpose. This new value is never allocated by simple_offset_add(). When ->iterate_dir() returns, getdents{64} inserts the ctx->pos value into the d_off field of the last valid entry in the readdir buffer. When it hits EOD, offset_readdir() sets ctx->pos to the EOD offset value so the last entry is updated to point to the EOD marker. When trying to read the entry at the EOD offset, offset_readdir() terminates immediately. - Rely on d_children to iterate stable offset directories Instead of using the mtree to emit entries in the order of their offset values, use it only to map incoming ctx->pos to a starting entry. Then use the directory's d_children list, which is already maintained properly by the dcache, to find the next child to emit. - Narrow the range of directory offset values returned by simple_offset_add() to 3 .. (S32_MAX - 1) on all platforms. This means the allocation behavior is identical on 32-bit systems, 64-bit systems, and 32-bit user space on 64-bit kernels. The new range still permits over 2 billion concurrent entries per directory. - Return ENOSPC when the directory offset range is exhausted.

We can make this lockless. The simple search case can just use a sequence counter to detect concurrent changes to the rbtree For walking the list of mount namespaces sequentially via nsfs we keep a separate rcu list as rb_prev() and rb_next() aren't usable safely with rcu. Currently there is no primitive for retrieving the previous list member. To do this we need a new deletion primitive that doesn't poison the prev pointer and a corresponding retrieval helper Since creating mount namespaces is a relatively rare event compared with querying mounts in a foreign mount namespace this is worth it. Once libmount and systemd pick up this mechanism to list mounts in foreign mount namespaces this will be used very frequently - Add extended selftests for lockless mount namespace iteration - Add a sample program to list all mounts on the system, i.e., in all mount namespaces - Improve mount namespace iteration performance Make finding the last or first mount to start iterating the mount namespace from an O(1) operation and add selftests for iterating the mount table starting from the first and last mount - Use an xarray for the old mount id While the ida does use the xarray internally we can use it explicitly which allows us to increment the unique mount id under the xa lock.

Pull pid_max namespacing update from Christian Brauner: "The pid_max sysctl is a global value. For a long time the default value has been 65535 and during the pidfd dicussions Linus proposed to bump pid_max by default. Based on this discussion systemd started bumping pid_max to 2^22. So all new systems now run with a very high pid_max limit with some distros having also backported that change. The decision to bump pid_max is obviously correct. It just doesn't make a lot of sense nowadays to enforce such a low pid number. There's sufficient tooling to make selecting specific processes without typing really large pid numbers available. In any case, there are workloads that have expections about how large pid numbers they accept. Either for historical reasons or architectural reasons. One concreate example is the 32-bit version of Android's bionic libc which requires pid numbers less than 65536. There are workloads where it is run in a 32-bit container on a 64-bit kernel. If the host has a pid_max value greater than 65535 the libc will abort thread creation because of size assumptions of pthread_mutex_t. That's a fairly specific use-case however, in general specific workloads that are moved into containers running on a host with a new kernel and a new systemd can run into issues with large pid_max values. Obviously making assumptions about the size of the allocated pid is suboptimal but we have userspace that does it. Of course, giving containers the ability to restrict the number of processes in their respective pid namespace indepent of the global limit through pid_max is something desirable in itself and comes in handy in general. Independent of motivating use-cases the existence of pid namespaces makes this also a good semantical extension and there have been prior proposals pushing in a similar direction. The trick here is to minimize the risk of regressions which I think is doable. The fact that pid namespaces are hierarchical will help us here. What we mostly care about is that when the host sets a low pid_max limit, say (crazy number) 100 that no descendant pid namespace can allocate a higher pid number in its namespace. Since pid allocation is hierarchial this can be ensured by checking each pid allocation against the pid namespace's pid_max limit. This means if the allocation in the descendant pid namespace succeeds, the ancestor pid namespace can reject it. If the ancestor pid namespace has a higher limit than the descendant pid namespace the descendant pid namespace will reject the pid allocation. The ancestor pid namespace will obviously not care about this. All in all this means pid_max continues to enforce a system wide limit on the number of processes but allows pid namespaces sufficient leeway in handling workloads with assumptions about pid values and allows containers to restrict the number of processes in a pid namespace through the pid_max interface" * tag 'kernel-6.14-rc1.pid' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: tests/pid_namespace: add pid_max tests pid: allow pid_max to be set per pid namespace

To this end the {override,revert}_creds_light() helpers were introduced. This generalizes the idea behind {override,revert}_creds_light() to the {override,revert}_creds() helpers.

Pull pidfs updates from Christian Brauner: - Rework inode number allocation Recently we received a patchset that aims to enable file handle encoding and decoding via name_to_handle_at(2) and open_by_handle_at(2). A crucical step in the patch series is how to go from inode number to struct pid without leaking information into unprivileged contexts. The issue is that in order to find a struct pid the pid number in the initial pid namespace must be encoded into the file handle via name_to_handle_at(2). This can be used by containers using a separate pid namespace to learn what the pid number of a given process in the initial pid namespace is. While this is a weak information leak it could be used in various exploits and in general is an ugly wart in the design. To solve this problem a new way is needed to lookup a struct pid based on the inode number allocated for that struct pid. The other part is to remove the custom inode number allocation on 32bit systems that is also an ugly wart that should go away. Allocate unique identifiers for struct pid by simply incrementing a 64 bit counter and insert each struct pid into the rbtree so it can be looked up to decode file handles avoiding to leak actual pids across pid namespaces in file handles. On both 64 bit and 32 bit the same 64 bit identifier is used to lookup struct pid in the rbtree. On 64 bit the unique identifier for struct pid simply becomes the inode number. Comparing two pidfds continues to be as simple as comparing inode numbers. On 32 bit the 64 bit number assigned to struct pid is split into two 32 bit numbers. The lower 32 bits are used as the inode number and the upper 32 bits are used as the inode generation number. Whenever a wraparound happens on 32 bit the 64 bit number will be incremented by 2 so inode numbering starts at 2 again. When a wraparound happens on 32 bit multiple pidfds with the same inode number are likely to exist. This isn't a problem since before pidfs pidfds used the anonymous inode meaning all pidfds had the same inode number. On 32 bit sserspace can thus reconstruct the 64 bit identifier by retrieving both the inode number and the inode generation number to compare, or use file handles. This gives the same guarantees on both 32 bit and 64 bit. - Implement file handle support This is based on custom export operation methods which allows pidfs to implement permission checking and opening of pidfs file handles cleanly without hacking around in the core file handle code too much. - Support bind-mounts Allow bind-mounting pidfds. Similar to nsfs let's allow bind-mounts for pidfds. This allows pidfds to be safely recovered and checked for process recycling. Instead of checking d_ops for both nsfs and pidfs we could in a follow-up patch add a flag argument to struct dentry_operations that functions similar to file_operations->fop_flags. * tag 'vfs-6.14-rc1.pidfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: selftests: add pidfd bind-mount tests pidfs: allow bind-mounts pidfs: lookup pid through rbtree selftests/pidfd: add pidfs file handle selftests pidfs: check for valid ioctl commands pidfs: implement file handle support exportfs: add permission method fhandle: pull CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH check into may_decode_fh() exportfs: add open method fhandle: simplify error handling pseudofs: add support for export_ops pidfs: support FS_IOC_GETVERSION pidfs: remove 32bit inode number handling pidfs: rework inode number allocation

Pull /proc/kcore updates from Christian Brauner: "The performance of /proc/kcore reads has been showing up as a bottleneck for the drgn debugger. drgn scripts often spend ~25% of their time in the kernel reading from /proc/kcore. A lot of this overhead comes from silly inefficiencies. This pull request contains fixes for the low-hanging fruit. The fixes are all fairly small and straightforward. The result is a 25% improvement in read latency in micro-benchmarks (from ~235 nanoseconds to ~175) and a 15% improvement in execution time for real-world drgn scripts: - Make /proc/kcore entry permanent - Avoid walking the list on every read - Use percpu_rw_semaphore for kclist_lock - Make Omar Sandoval the official maintainer for /proc/kcore" * tag 'vfs-6.14-rc1.kcore' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: MAINTAINERS: add me as /proc/kcore maintainer proc/kcore: use percpu_rw_semaphore for kclist_lock proc/kcore: don't walk list on every read proc/kcore: mark proc entry as permanent

Pull vfs netfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains read performance improvements and support for monolithic single-blob objects that have to be read/written as such (e.g. AFS directory contents). The implementation of the two parts is interwoven as each makes the other possible. - Read performance improvements The read performance improvements are intended to speed up some loss of performance detected in cifs and to a lesser extend in afs. The problem is that we queue too many work items during the collection of read results: each individual subrequest is collected by its own work item, and then they have to interact with each other when a series of subrequests don't exactly align with the pattern of folios that are being read by the overall request. Whilst the processing of the pages covered by individual subrequests as they complete potentially allows folios to be woken in parallel and with minimum delay, it can shuffle wakeups for sequential reads out of order - and that is the most common I/O pattern. The final assessment and cleanup of an operation is then held up until the last I/O completes - and for a synchronous sequential operation, this means the bouncing around of work items just adds latency. Two changes have been made to make this work: (1) All collection is now done in a single "work item" that works progressively through the subrequests as they complete (and also dispatches retries as necessary). (2) For readahead and AIO, this work item be done on a workqueue and can run in parallel with the ultimate consumer of the data; for synchronous direct or unbuffered reads, the collection is run in the application thread and not offloaded. Functions such as smb2_readv_callback() then just tell netfslib that the subrequest has terminated; netfslib does a minimal bit of processing on the spot - stat counting and tracing mostly - and then queues/wakes up the worker. This simplifies the logic as the collector just walks sequentially through the subrequests as they complete and walks through the folios, if buffered, unlocking them as it goes. It also keeps to a minimum the amount of latency injected into the filesystem's low-level I/O handling The way netfs supports filesystems using the deprecated PG_private_2 flag is changed: folios are flagged and added to a write request as they complete and that takes care of scheduling the writes to the cache. The originating read request can then just unlock the pages whatever happens. - Single-blob object support Single-blob objects are files for which the content of the file must be read from or written to the server in a single operation because reading them in parts may yield inconsistent results. AFS directories are an example of this as there exists the possibility that the contents are generated on the fly and would differ between reads or might change due to third party interference. Such objects will be written to and retrieved from the cache if one is present, though we allow/may need to propose multiple subrequests to do so. The important part is that read from/write to the *server* is monolithic. Single blob reading is, for the moment, fully synchronous and does result collection in the application thread and, also for the moment, the API is supplied the buffer in the form of a folio_queue chain rather than using the pagecache. - Related afs changes This series makes a number of changes to the kafs filesystem, primarily in the area of directory handling: - AFS's FetchData RPC reply processing is made partially asynchronous which allows the netfs_io_request's outstanding operation counter to be removed as part of reducing the collection to a single work item. - Directory and symlink reading are plumbed through netfslib using the single-blob object API and are now cacheable with fscache. This also allows the afs_read struct to be eliminated and netfs_io_subrequest to be used directly instead. - Directory and symlink content are now stored in a folio_queue buffer rather than in the pagecache. This means we don't require the RCU read lock and xarray iteration to access it, and folios won't randomly disappear under us because the VM wants them back. - The vnode operation lock is changed from a mutex struct to a private lock implementation. The problem is that the lock now needs to be dropped in a separate thread and mutexes don't permit that. - When a new directory or symlink is created, we now initialise it locally and mark it valid rather than downloading it (we know what it's likely to look like). - We now use the in-directory hashtable to reduce the number of entries we need to scan when doing a lookup. The edit routines have to maintain the hash chains. - Cancellation (e.g. by signal) of an async call after the rxrpc_call has been set up is now offloaded to the worker thread as there will be a notification from rxrpc upon completion. This avoids a double cleanup. - A "rolling buffer" implementation is created to abstract out the two separate folio_queue chaining implementations I had (one for read and one for write). - Functions are provided to create/extend a buffer in a folio_queue chain and tear it down again. This is used to handle AFS directories, but could also be used to create bounce buffers for content crypto and transport crypto. - The was_async argument is dropped from netfs_read_subreq_terminated() Instead we wake the read collection work item by either queuing it or waking up the app thread. - We don't need to use BH-excluding locks when communicating between the issuing thread and the collection thread as neither of them now run in BH context. - Also included are a number of new tracepoints; a split of the netfslib write collection code to put retrying into its own file (it gets more complicated with content encryption). - There are also some minor fixes AFS included, including fixing the AFS directory format struct layout, reducing some directory over-invalidation and making afs_mkdir() translate EEXIST to ENOTEMPY (which is not available on all systems the servers support). - Finally, there's a patch to try and detect entry into the folio unlock function with no folio_queue structs in the buffer (which isn't allowed in the cases that can get there).

This was a suggestion by David Laight, and while I was slightly worried that some micro-architecture would predict cmov like a conditional branch, there is little reason to actually believe any core would be that broken. Intel documents that their existing cores treat CMOVcc as a data dependency that will constrain speculation in their "Speculative Execution Side Channel Mitigations" whitepaper: "Other instructions such as CMOVcc, AND, ADC, SBB and SETcc can also be used to prevent bounds check bypass by constraining speculative execution on current family 6 processors (Intel® Core™, Intel® Atom™, Intel® Xeon® and Intel® Xeon Phi™ processors)" and while that leaves the future uarch issues open, that's certainly true of our traditional SBB usage too. Any core that predicts CMOV will be unusable for various crypto algorithms that need data-independent timing stability, so let's just treat CMOV as the safe choice that simplifies the address masking by avoiding an extra instruction and doesn't need a temporary register.

Back when we added SMAP support, all versions of binutils didn't necessarily understand the 'clac' and 'stac' instructions. So we implemented those instructions manually as ".byte" sequences. But we've since upgraded the minimum version of binutils to version 2.25, and that included proper support for the SMAP instructions, and there's no reason for us to use some line noise to express them any more.
