fs: port ->permission() to pass mnt_idmap

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

treewide: remove editor modelines and cruft

The section "19) Editor modelines and other cruft" in
Documentation/process/coding-style.rst clearly says, "Do not include any
of these in source files."

I recently receive a patch to explicitly add a new one.

Let's do treewide cleanups, otherwise some people follow the existing code
and attempt to upstream their favoriate editor setups.

It is even nicer if scripts/checkpatch.pl can check it.

If we like to impose coding style in an editor-independent manner, I think
editorconfig (patch [1]) is a saner solution.

fs: make helpers idmap mount aware

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.

As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

statx: Add a system call to make enhanced file info available

Add a system call to make extended file information available, including
file creation and some attribute flags where available through the
underlying filesystem.

The getattr inode operation is altered to take two additional arguments: a
u32 request_mask and an unsigned int flags that indicate the
synchronisation mode. This change is propagated to the vfs_getattr*()
function.

Functions like vfs_stat() are now inline wrappers around new functions
vfs_statx() and vfs_statx_fd() to reduce stack usage.

========
OVERVIEW
========

The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved
with getxattr(), but the general preference proved to be for a new syscall
with an extended stat structure.

A number of requests were gathered for features to be included. The
following have been included:

(1) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large.

(2) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for
future expansion.

(3) Better support for the y2038 problem [Arnd Bergmann] (tv_sec is an
__s64).

(4) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could
be exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of
FS-Cache as that can be used for coherency data (stx_btime).

This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could
be exported by NFSD [Steve French].

(5) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a
netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly
without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas
Dilger] (AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC).

(6) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks
its cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust]
(AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC).

And the following have been left out for future extension:

(7) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh
Kumar].

Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves
i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr(). It could get
it from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead.

(There's disagreement on the exact semantics of a single field, since
not all filesystems do this the same way).

(8) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such
as creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen)
[Jeremy Allison, Bernd Schubert].

(9) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers
[Bernd Schubert].

(This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary with the
open-by-handle capability available and caused disagreement as to
whether it's a security hole or not).

(10) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger].

(No particular data were offered, but things like last backup
timestamp, the data version number and the DOS archive bit would come
into this category).

(11) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A
filesystem can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if
that isn't available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't
exist or are fabricated locally...

(This requires a separate system call - I have an fsinfo() call idea
for this).

(12) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in
struct xstat [Steve French].

(Deferred to fsinfo).

(13) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the
granularity of each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French].

(Deferred to fsinfo).

(14) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value. These could be translated to BSD's st_flags.
Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4
define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel
may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too).

(Some attributes are made available in stx_attributes, but the general
feeling was that the IOC flags were to ext[234]-specific and shouldn't
be exposed through statx this way).

(15) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer,
Michael Kerrisk].

(Deferred, probably to fsinfo. Finding out if there's an ACL or
seclabal might require extra filesystem operations).

(16) Femtosecond-resolution timestamps [Dave Chinner].

(A __reserved field has been left in the statx_timestamp struct for
this - if there proves to be a need).

(17) A set multiple attributes syscall to go with this.

===============
NEW SYSTEM CALL
===============

The new system call is:

int ret = statx(int dfd,
const char *filename,
unsigned int flags,
unsigned int mask,
struct statx *buffer);

The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query, in a
similar way to fstatat(). There is no equivalent of lstat() as that can be
emulated with statx() by passing AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags. There is
also no equivalent of fstat() as that can be emulated by passing a NULL
filename to statx() with the fd of interest in dfd.

Whether or not statx() synchronises the attributes with the backing store
can be controlled by OR'ing a value into the flags argument (this typically
only affects network filesystems):

(1) AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT tells statx() to behave as stat() does in this
respect.

(2) AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC will require a network filesystem to synchronise
its attributes with the server - which might require data writeback to
occur to get the timestamps correct.

(3) AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC will suppress synchronisation with the server in a
network filesystem. The resulting values should be considered
approximate.

mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of
interest to the caller. The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to
get the basic set returned by stat(). It should be noted that asking for
more information may entail extra I/O operations.

buffer points to the destination for the data. This must be 256 bytes in
size.

======================
MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD
======================

The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute
set:

struct statx_timestamp {
__s64 tv_sec;
__s32 tv_nsec;
__s32 __reserved;
};

struct statx {
__u32 stx_mask;
__u32 stx_blksize;
__u64 stx_attributes;
__u32 stx_nlink;
__u32 stx_uid;
__u32 stx_gid;
__u16 stx_mode;
__u16 __spare0[1];
__u64 stx_ino;
__u64 stx_size;
__u64 stx_blocks;
__u64 __spare1[1];
struct statx_timestamp stx_atime;
struct statx_timestamp stx_btime;
struct statx_timestamp stx_ctime;
struct statx_timestamp stx_mtime;
__u32 stx_rdev_major;
__u32 stx_rdev_minor;
__u32 stx_dev_major;
__u32 stx_dev_minor;
__u64 __spare2[14];
};

The defined bits in request_mask and stx_mask are:

STATX_TYPE Want/got stx_mode & S_IFMT
STATX_MODE Want/got stx_mode & ~S_IFMT
STATX_NLINK Want/got stx_nlink
STATX_UID Want/got stx_uid
STATX_GID Want/got stx_gid
STATX_ATIME Want/got stx_atime{,_ns}
STATX_MTIME Want/got stx_mtime{,_ns}
STATX_CTIME Want/got stx_ctime{,_ns}
STATX_INO Want/got stx_ino
STATX_SIZE Want/got stx_size
STATX_BLOCKS Want/got stx_blocks
STATX_BASIC_STATS [The stuff in the normal stat struct]
STATX_BTIME Want/got stx_btime{,_ns}
STATX_ALL [All currently available stuff]

stx_btime is the file creation time, stx_mask is a bitmask indicating the
data provided and __spares*[] are where as-yet undefined fields can be
placed.

Time fields are structures with separate seconds and nanoseconds fields
plus a reserved field in case we want to add even finer resolution. Note
that times will be negative if before 1970; in such a case, the nanosecond
fields will also be negative if not zero.

The bits defined in the stx_attributes field convey information about a
file, how it is accessed, where it is and what it does. The following
attributes map to FS_*_FL flags and are the same numerical value:

STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED File is compressed by the fs
STATX_ATTR_IMMUTABLE File is marked immutable
STATX_ATTR_APPEND File is append-only
STATX_ATTR_NODUMP File is not to be dumped
STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED File requires key to decrypt in fs

Within the kernel, the supported flags are listed by:

KSTAT_ATTR_FS_IOC_FLAGS

[Are any other IOC flags of sufficient general interest to be exposed
through this interface?]

New flags include:

STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT Object is an automount trigger

These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially,
depending on what they are.

Fields in struct statx come in a number of classes:

(0) stx_dev_*, stx_blksize.

These are local system information and are always available.

(1) stx_mode, stx_nlinks, stx_uid, stx_gid, stx_[amc]time, stx_ino,
stx_size, stx_blocks.

These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not. The
corresponding bits in stx_mask will be set to indicate whether they
actually have valid values.

If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated. For
example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server,
unless as a byproduct of updating something requested.

If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as
UID or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the stx_mask,
even if the caller asked for the value. In such a case, the returned
value will be a fabrication.

Note that there are instances where the type might not be valid, for
instance Windows reparse points.

(2) stx_rdev_*.

This will be set only if stx_mode indicates we're looking at a
blockdev or a chardev, otherwise will be 0.

(3) stx_btime.

Similar to (1), except this will be set to 0 if it doesn't exist.

=======
TESTING
=======

The following test program can be used to test the statx system call:

samples/statx/test-statx.c

Just compile and run, passing it paths to the files you want to examine.
The file is built automatically if CONFIG_SAMPLES is enabled.

Here's some example output. Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to
another FSID. Note that the AUTOMOUNT attribute is set because transiting
this directory will cause d_automount to be invoked by the VFS.

ocfs2: prepare some interfaces used in append direct io

Currently in case of append O_DIRECT write (block not allocated yet),
ocfs2 will fall back to buffered I/O. This has some disadvantages.
Firstly, it is not the behavior as expected. Secondly, it will consume
huge page cache, e.g. in mass backup scenario. Thirdly, modern
filesystems such as ext4 support this feature.

In this patch set, the direct I/O write doesn't fallback to buffer I/O
write any more because the allocate blocks are enabled in direct I/O now.

This patch (of 9):

Prepare some interfaces which will be used in append O_DIRECT write.

# 5693486b 01-Jul-2010 Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

ocfs2: Zero the tail cluster when extending past i_size.

ocfs2's allocation unit is the cluster. This can be larger than a block
or even a memory page. This means that a file may have many blocks in
its last extent that are beyond the block containing i_size. There also
may be more unwritten extents after that.

When ocfs2 grows a file, it zeros the entire cluster in order to ensure
future i_size growth will see cleared blocks. Unfortunately,
block_write_full_page() drops the pages past i_size. This means that
ocfs2 is actually leaking garbage data into the tail end of that last
cluster. This is a bug.

We adjust ocfs2_write_begin_nolock() and ocfs2_extend_file() to detect
when a write or truncate is past i_size. They will use
ocfs2_zero_extend() to ensure the data is properly zeroed.

Older versions of ocfs2_zero_extend() simply zeroed every block between
i_size and the zeroing position. This presumes three things:

1) There is allocation for all of these blocks.
2) The extents are not unwritten.
3) The extents are not refcounted.

(1) and (2) hold true for non-sparse filesystems, which used to be the
only users of ocfs2_zero_extend(). (3) is another bug.

Since we're now using ocfs2_zero_extend() for sparse filesystems as
well, we teach ocfs2_zero_extend() to check every extent between
i_size and the zeroing position. If the extent is unwritten, it is
ignored. If it is refcounted, it is CoWed. Then it is zeroed.

ocfs2: Implementation of local and global quota file handling

For each quota type each node has local quota file. In this file it stores
changes users have made to disk usage via this node. Once in a while this
information is synced to global file (and thus with other nodes) so that
limits enforcement at least aproximately works.

Global quota files contain all the information about usage and limits. It's
mostly handled by the generic VFS code (which implements a trie of structures
inside a quota file). We only have to provide functions to convert structures
from on-disk format to in-memory one. We also have to provide wrappers for
various quota functions starting transactions and acquiring necessary cluster
locks before the actual IO is really started.

ocfs2: Abstract ocfs2_extent_tree in b-tree operations.

In the old extent tree operation, we take the hypothesis that we
are using the ocfs2_extent_list in ocfs2_dinode as the tree root.
As xattr will also use ocfs2_extent_list to store large value
for a xattr entry, we refactor the tree operation so that xattr
can use it directly.

The refactoring includes 4 steps:
1. Abstract set/get of last_eb_blk and update_clusters since they may
be stored in different location for dinode and xattr.
2. Add a new structure named ocfs2_extent_tree to indicate the
extent tree the operation will work on.
3. Remove all the use of fe_bh and di, use root_bh and root_el in
extent tree instead. So now all the fe_bh is replaced with
et->root_bh, el with root_el accordingly.
4. Make ocfs2_lock_allocators generic. Now it is limited to be only used

to store large EAs.

Note: This patch doesn't touch ocfs2_commit_truncate() since it is not used
for anything other than truncate inode data btrees.

ocfs2: Modify ocfs2_num_free_extents for future xattr usage.

ocfs2_num_free_extents() is used to find the number of free extent records
in an inode btree. Hence, it takes an "ocfs2_dinode" parameter. We want to
use this for extended attribute trees in the future, so genericize the
interface the take a buffer head. A future patch will allow that buffer_head
to contain any structure rooting an ocfs2 btree.

ocfs2: POSIX file locks support

This is actually pretty easy since fs/dlm already handles the bulk of the
work. The Ocfs2 userspace cluster stack module already uses fs/dlm as the
underlying lock manager, so I only had to add the right calls.

Cluster-aware POSIX locks ("plocks") can be turned off by the same means at
UNIX locks - mount with 'noflocks', or create a local-only Ocfs2 volume.
Internally, the file system uses two sets of file_operations, depending on
whether cluster aware plocks is required. This turns out to be easier than
implementing local-only versions of ->lock.

[PATCH 1/2] ocfs2: add flock lock type

This adds a new dlmglue lock type which is intended to back flock()
requests.

Since these locks are driven from userspace, usage rules are much more
liberal than the typical Ocfs2 internal cluster lock. As a result, we can't
make use of most dlmglue features - lock caching and lock level
optimizations in particular. Additionally, userspace is free to deadlock
itself, so we have to deal with that in the same way as the rest of the
kernel - by allowing a signal to abort a lock request.

In order to keep ocfs2_cluster_lock() complexity down, ocfs2_file_lock()
does it's own dlm coordination. We still use the same helper functions
though, so duplicated code is kept to a minimum.

ocfs2: move nonsparse hole-filling into ocfs2_write_begin()

By doing this, we can remove any higher level logic which has to have
knowledge of btree functionality - any callers of ocfs2_write_begin() can
now expect it to do anything necessary to prepare the inode for new data.

ocfs2: Support xfs style space reservation ioctls

We re-use the RESVSP/UNRESVSP ioctls from xfs which allow the user to
allocate and deallocate regions to a file without zeroing data or changing
i_size.

Though renamed, the structure passed in from user is identical to struct
xfs_flock64. The three fields that are actually used right now are l_whence,
l_start and l_len.

This should get ocfs2 immediate compatibility with userspace software using
the pre-existing xfs ioctls.

ocfs2: Support creation of unwritten extents

This can now be trivially supported with re-use of our existing extend code.

ocfs2_allocate_unwritten_extents() takes a start offset and a byte length
and iterates over the inode, adding extents (marked as unwritten) until len
is reached. Existing extents are skipped over.

Update the write code to detect when the user is asking to write to an

extent records.

ocfs2: teach ocfs2_file_aio_write() about sparse files

Unfortunately, ocfs2 can no longer make use of generic_file_aio_write_nlock()
because allocating writes will require zeroing of pages adjacent to the I/O
for cluster sizes greater than page size.

Implement a custom file write here, which can order page locks for zeroing.
This also has the advantage that cluster locks can easily be ordered outside
of the page locks.

ocfs2: sparse b-tree support

Introduce tree rotations into the b-tree code. This will allow ocfs2 to
support sparse files. Much of the added code is designed to be generic (in

extended attributes.

This patch only adds the rotation code and does minimal updates to callers
